美国军备供应缩减产生广泛影响

伊朗战争之结果

其他地区军械库的削减可能会增强对手的胆量 本文作者为安东·伊万诺维奇、乔纳森·西尔斯、埃里克·施密特和朱利安·E·巴顿。

华盛顿 —— 据高级官员透露，特朗普总统针对伊朗的战争已使美国武器库存下降到令人担忧的水平，抽走了来自亚洲和欧洲的供应。欧洲和亚洲防空导弹及其他关键武器供应的迅速缩减，不仅是美国军方参与的结果，还可能在俄罗斯和中国考虑与美国发生潜在冲突时，使其胆量增加，并走上这条道路。伊朗通过数千枚包含全球供应链精密零件且需要数年才能生产的未标价导弹进行阻击。防御伊朗的报复性密集攻击已使美国的防空导弹库存损耗到令特朗普政府高层官员私下感到震惊的程度，并导致美国向欧洲和亚洲客户的交付货物出现延迟。

官员表示，伊朗战役迫使五角大楼将分布在整个欧洲和亚洲的舰船、飞机和防空部队紧急转移到中东，这一举措增加了设备维护的消耗并影响了部队士气。美国及西方高级官员表示，其结果是美国在这些地区的武力部署发生了重大转移，这种转移具有长期影响，正日益引起军事和情报界的关注。白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·拉塞蒂表示

旨在切断真主党资金的行动内幕

本文由 Fann Word, Eric Schmidt, Aaron Bergman 和 Shroda Saad 撰写。

黎巴嫩，8月 —— 当以色列在3月发动针对真主党的最新战争时，军方设定的首批打击目标并非地下指挥中心。而是银行。以色列战斗机袭击了名为 Al-Qaid al-Ramani 的阴影金融机构的十几个分支机构，该机构长期以来被视为真主党在黎巴嫩的银行。随后，袭击范围扩大到那些被认为在为真主党洗钱的兑换店，以及为该组织产生收入的黎巴嫩私人公司和加油站。

通过这些袭击，以色列传递了一个明确的信息：真主党的资金，而不仅仅是其账户，已成为攻击目标。这些轰炸标志着以色列、特朗普政府以及黎巴嫩政府发起的一场新的激进行动，旨在通过破坏该组织的资金渠道（尤其是来自伊朗的资金）使其在财务上陷入困境。

在战争爆发前的数月里，黎巴嫩政府在特朗普政府的压力下，试图清理该组织用于接收和转移资金的中心，例如贝鲁特国际机场。华盛顿还向黎巴嫩央行施压，要求加强对该国现金经济的控制，而真主党长期以来一直利用这一点。

根据《纽约时报》审阅的文件以及对黎巴嫩、美国和以色列官员以及真主党家属的采访，真主党目前正面临多年来最严重的经济困境。大多数发言人因机密情报评估、外交抗议或当地安全原因而要求匿名。

反思池如何映射特朗普政府

本文由 Monica Joudon, David J. DeBreschick, Tyler Pogerson, Clarence Williams 撰写。

华盛顿 —— 1月，世界混凝土贸易展吸引了 4.2万,000 人前往拉斯维加斯会议中心。其中一人是特朗普组织在新泽西州的一家物业经理，他来此是为了寻求一项巨大且陌生的任务的帮助。

该经理大卫·肖滕霍费尔（David Schottenhofer）希望寻找修复华盛顿林肯纪念堂反思池漏水和藻类问题的方案。几个人告诉他，他们知道该找谁。罗德尼·杰伯（Rodney Jerber）是总部位于密苏里州的 Creative Polymer's 公司的总裁。杰伯先生曾在另一个联邦地标——圣路易斯的 Gateway Arch 桥梁工程中工作过。

规避法律与事实，推卸责任

在一次采访中，杰伯先生表示，他于3月首次与肖滕霍费尔先生交谈，后者表示这项工作将非常仓促。杰伯先生说，他被告知特朗普总统希望这项翻新工程能在7月4日国家250岁生日之前完成。

“为了在要求的时间框架内完成这件事，我们几乎必须在4月的第一周之前签署合同并开始生产，”杰伯先生说。“所以做出决定的期限非常紧迫。”

这些关于反思池的初步对话此前尚未被报道，它们开启了一项临时计划。

对于更多大学毕业生来说，搬回家是无需多虑的选择

作者：NOAH SCHEIBER

两年前，在加州大学圣克鲁兹分校毕业几个月后，由于未能找到工作，内尼·里夫（Nenney Rief）搬回了他在旧金山湾区的童年故居。他认为，承担的开支越少，找工作就会越容易。而且，或许更重要的一点是，他与父母的关系依然亲密，而父母也欢迎他回来。

“我与父母沟通我脑海中的每一个想法，”获得了文学和人类学学位的里夫先生说道，他曾希望能在出版业找到工作。“如果这是我想做的事，他们真的非常鼓励我回家。”

里夫先生绝非近期接受此类邀请的唯一一名毕业生。经济学家斯特凡妮亚·阿尔巴内斯（Stefania Albanes）、拉妮亚·吉莱特（Rania Gillett）和宁·张（Ning Zhang）的数据显示，在25至37岁之间与父母同住的大学毕业生比例已回升至新冠疫情期间的高点。根据该论文尚未在网上发布的更新数据显示，截至去年，这一比例超过四分之一，而2001年的最低点仅为19%。

如此多年轻人选择住在家里，反映出尽管整体经济依然强劲，但近期毕业生的就业市场仍存在持续的疲软。这种疲软可能是人工智能影响白领工作的结果。

在肯尼迪中心，几乎没有生物在活动，甚至连……

作者：ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON

华盛顿——特朗普总统对约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的接管，使得这座建筑几乎空无一人。因此，少数仍留在原地的孤独员工在那个月为预约提供的个人两年机会中，倾向于分享关于过去50年让这个地方变得特别的故事。

比如那些老鼠。肯尼迪中心的老鼠不像在温暖天气出现在原野和森林中，在寒冷天气出现在地下室和阁楼中的典型灰色家鼠。它们的大小大约只有家鼠的一半，耳朵很大，呈现出一种金褐色，如果它们是金鱼的话，会被称为polomine。它们的腹部是珍珠白的。

多年来，工作人员发现一只褐色老鼠——或者说，轮流出现的老鼠——静静地坐在轮椅坡道下方，面对着中心两个全天候航班之一，似乎在观看晚间演出。

在2024年的假期期间，这些老鼠袭击了一块精致的甜点板，那是百老汇音乐剧《A Juke》的演员在歌剧院留了一夜的。

这些老鼠还进入了肯尼迪中心演出的评论中。2016年，《华盛顿邮报》称之为一只“爱说话的老鼠”在国家交响乐团演出“Dunkersley的《Francesca da Romaa》”期间出现在音乐厅。这只老鼠跑向舞台附近的优质座位，并“惊扰了生活在意大利卡拉拉地区的阿尔卑斯田鼠，它们可能是肯尼迪中心那些老鼠的来源，它们在2-10年左右甚至在左侧，迫使观众移动他们的西装和包袋，以便它们可能是一个游戏植物且静止”。一名邮报艺术记者。

故事背后的故事

罗伯特·A·刘维茨（Robert A. Lewitz）上尉关于广岛轰炸的叙述，由《纽约时报》记者威廉·L·劳伦斯（William L. Laurence）进行了插叙式记录。

与原子历史的一次偶然邂逅

作者：RALPH HOLZBERGER 《纽约时报》高级教育记者，任职于 2016 至 2026 年。

我学到的第一条新闻准则就是：运气至上。最近在曼哈顿公园大道军械库（Park Avenue Armory）举行的国际拮抗书展上，我正漫无目的地四处浏览——在找什么？我不确定，但也许会有某种“我看到了它”的时刻。这种方法在我担任《纽约时报》职员记者 45 年间一直对我很有用，而现在我成了一名自由撰稿人，这种习惯依然根深蒂固。我正打算继续漫无目的地走走，这时有人打断了我，引导我看向——一个侧面的纸质展示品，位于来自加利福尼亚州彭泽马（Penzema）的惠特莫尔河图书公司（Whitmore River Books）的展位上。

就在那里，我看到了它，在一个玻璃盒里——一个旧的战争部导航笔记本，页面被折叠且写满了潦草的字迹，页眉写着“Robert A. Lewitz 少校财产，美国陆军航空队（U.S.A.P.）”。在页眉下方写着：“广岛轰炸”，“1945年8月9日”。发货人丹·惠特莫尔（Dan Whitmore）小心翼翼地取出笔记本，为我翻阅页面。这是由刘因（Lewin）记录的日志，他是“艾诺拉·盖”号（Enola Gay）的飞行员，这架美国空军飞机投下了第一颗用于战争的原子弹。这颗名为“小男孩”的炸弹估计杀死了 10万,000 名日本人，其中大多数是平民。三天后，投向长崎的第二颗炸弹又杀死了 5万,000 至 1万,000 人，并导致第二次世界大战结束。官方从未确定最终的死亡人数。

这些纸页上填满了刘维茨（Lewitz）上尉关于广岛轰炸的手写记录。其中还有一份《纽约时报》的副本——由威廉·L·劳伦斯（William L. Laurence）做的大量手写注释，劳伦斯是《时报》最早的科学记者之一，曾两次获得科学新闻奖。在所有媒体中，他是唯一一个被曼哈顿计划的R.格罗弗（R. Grover）亲手挑选，并经管理编辑和出版商秘密批准，去见证原子的分裂及其在战争中可怕首秀的人。

劳伦斯（右）原计划与刘因（Lewin）上尉（左）一同乘坐“艾诺拉·盖”号前往广岛。劳伦斯关于原子裂变的报道使他在《时报》中与 William R. Lewerve 区分开来；这可以追溯到 2004 年，也就是我入职的那一年，但他的功绩早已为人熟知。多年来，我经常在报社的普利策奖展示区停下脚步，凝视他的照片，对他所经历的冒险感到惊叹。

但有些事情是我不知道的。劳伦斯是一个经常出现在穿着皱巴巴的西装和僵硬线条照片中的精英人物，他于 1977 年在 10 时去世。此后，对他生活和职业生涯的审查揭示了一个更令人不安的遗产，暴露了利益冲突以及作者公正性的复杂问题。劳伦斯在曼哈顿计划的工作中获得了报酬，并写下了关于原子辐射危险的虚假细节。战后，他接受了城市规划师罗伯特·摩尔（Robert Moore）的报酬，以推广 2006 年世界博览会。

这份“艾诺拉·盖”号日记是劳伦斯的主意。在未能登上前往广岛的 B-25 飞机后，他盯上了刘因上尉，试图通过这次任务获得功劳。保罗·蒂费雷特（Paul Tiferett）少校曾要求从太平洋的台南岛记录从起飞到目标地的六小时以及返回的六小时。根据他的记录，刘因上尉在大部分任务期间在黑暗中做笔记，并且“直到今天我才能看清其中一部分”。

刘因上尉最初在关于劳伦斯的记录中写道：“他原计划登机，但该请求未获批准。”而劳伦斯在刘因上尉的作品基础上修改并写道：“他被命令登机，但抵达台南时晚了两次。”为什么要进行这种几乎没有掩饰的修改？一份已发表的记录表明，格罗弗将军可能否决了劳伦斯的出席。根据惠特莫尔的研究，劳伦斯希望这份记录能被公开。25,

由于情况似乎已经明朗，劳伦斯不再需要刘因上尉的日记。三天后，他获得了一个前往长崎执行轰炸任务的席位。劳伦斯当时被报社抽调去参与曼哈顿计划，这一安排后来被《泰晤士报》在头版披露；他凭借关于轰炸的文章获得了他的第二个普利策奖。他还写了一篇文章，要求格罗弗将军的竞选团队掩盖原子辐射具有致命性的真相。2015年，曾在新泽西州管理一家糖果厂的刘因上尉将其最高价值的藏书以2.5万,000美元（约合今天的10万,000美元）的价格授权给书商。他于1943年去世，享年45岁。这本大书在1976年被《福布斯》杂志的出版商马尔科姆·福布斯收购。根据惠特莫尔的目录，此后该书又两次在拍卖会上售出，最近一次是在2022年，成交价为44.3万,000美元。惠特莫尔现在将其开价10.3万,000美元。这是我在逛古书展时未曾预料会遇到的历史碎片。现在回想起来，这也可以被视为一次幸运的邂逅。在日记中，当“艾诺拉·盖”号接近目标时，刘因上尉写道：“炸弹现在激活了，知道它就在你身后是一种奇怪的感觉。”日记继续写道：他们投放了炸弹，机组人员目击到一道“净流”闪光。飞机剧烈震动，“就在我们眼前”——刘因上尉写道，此处有几处涂改——“毫无疑问地发生了人类所目击过的最大规模爆炸”。罗比·欧文的故事则是关于那些在爆炸附近目击并因此丧命的致命辐射。轰炸后不久，这次任务的沉重感似乎压在了刘因上尉心头。“我的天啊，”他写道，“我们都做了什么。”

乌克兰托尔穆斯（Tormoos）的一家加油站，该站于7月16日被俄罗斯攻击无人机摧毁。自6月初以来，已发生约200次此类袭击，造成至少五人死亡。

俄罗斯无人机的新目标：乌克兰加油站

对基辅袭击炼油厂的报复

作者：CAUSANDRA VINGGRAD 和 GLENANDR CHUBIO

乌克兰，基辅 —— 大多数加油站的入口处都堆着沙袋。许多加油站留有散弹枪般的弹孔和惊心的危险痕迹，或者已被夷为平地，只剩下焦黑的残骸。在整个乌克兰，加油站讲述着与俄罗斯战争中一个致命新战线的故事。

在最近几个月里，俄罗斯军队袭击了近 250 个乌克兰加油站。官员、分析人士和经营者表示，这是一场系统性且致命的报复行动，旨在回应乌克兰对俄罗斯炼油厂的袭击。这些加油站曾是乌克兰生活中深受喜爱且便捷的场所，如今却成了焦虑和恐惧的对象。

乌克兰方面表示，其对俄罗斯炼油厂的远程袭击旨在削弱资助俄罗斯战争机器的收入，并向克里姆林宫施压以停止战斗。俄罗斯国家新闻媒体则称，对乌克兰加油站的袭击同样旨在破坏基辅军队的“运输物流”。

但乌克兰人认为，与俄罗斯炼油厂不同，被瞄准的加油站每天都有大量普通平民作为顾客出入。许多俄罗斯炼油厂由国家所有或属于大公司，而乌克兰的许多加油站则是独立零售企业。

乌克兰前国防部长顾问谢尔希·布雷赫内托夫（Serhii Brekhneitov）表示，虽然乌克兰士兵有时会光顾这些加油站，但它们并非军事设施。袭击平民加油站对军事燃料供应没有实际影响。他说：“因此，这些袭击的唯一目的就是恐吓平民。”

俄罗斯国防部已开始在每日简报中报告对加油站的袭击。它分享了无人机袭击加油站的视频片段，并称这些站点被乌克兰军队“积极使用”。据信与军方有关的战前俄罗斯 Telegram 频道 Rybus 最近写道，这场行动正在“ gaining momentum”（势头增强）。

虽然乌克兰对炼油厂的袭击导致了俄罗斯的燃料短缺，但目前，对加油站的袭击对乌克兰人心理造成的冲击远大于对燃料供应的影响。

乌克兰的加油站长期以来不仅仅是加油的地方。它们是著名的社交中心，以热狗和理发师而闻名，是往返于一个武器已关闭四年的国家的平民的中转站。在前线附近，它们为刚从战场下来的士兵提供避风港，让他们能与战友、后勤人员和平民简单地共度时光。

但现在，一些司机尽量减少在加油站的停留时间，避开理发师，并在车里携带额外的燃料桶。

报道由 Michael Schwartz, Nataliev Vasilyeva, Nataliev Novotnikov, Adam Cull 和 Tyler Hicks 共同贡献。

当他们停下来时，可能会启动加油泵，然后迅速远离加油站，跳过最低限额，在油箱填满时等待。人们尽可能地不逗留。一些员工现在在远离加油站的地方抽烟休息。

整个乌克兰的道路上都 sign-709，记录着俄罗斯行动带来的破坏。在乌克兰南部的第聂伯（Dnipro）和扎波维什奇克（Zapovishchik）之间行驶，几乎每隔一个加油站就是一个焦黑的空壳。一个加油站可能前一晚还开着，第二天就消失了。

最近的一个傍晚，那条公路上的一个加油站空无一人，只有一辆卡车在冷冷地停着。甚至连加油站工作人员也不在场。他们已经撤到了路边约 500 码远的地方，以便从远处观察。

在离开乌克兰东北部哈尔科夫（Kharkiv）的公路上，两个面对面的加油站被摧毁了， Shabad 无人机的碎片散落在 90th crance 周围。扭曲的金属带悬在油泵上方，在风中吱吱作响。

就在路程下游 10 分钟的地方，另一家加油站被烧毁殆尽。在另一处，一个发黑的加油泵被炸飞，从被毁车站建筑的碎片中被推出来的是纸巾包和一个出奇完整的长条物，上面用英文写着：“Cotton gets too started, loose gets not going。”哈尔科夫的一家加油站有被袭击损坏的迹象，其入口处堆放着较宽的圆柱形沙袋，以及一张看起来很新的海报，上面用乌克兰语写着：“SYRIENY, SO ALL KAD ALERT THE GAS STATION CLOSED。”（由于警报，加油站关闭）。海报上还写道：“工作人员请离开加油站，在警报结束前留在避难所中。”另一家车站虽然用木板封住了住宅区，但业务仍在不受干扰地进行，而一个通风口开始密封。

这些袭击造成多人死亡，其中包括 Mokryov Overchikha，他在被征召入乌克兰军队之前曾担任《纽约时报》的司机。他于 6 月在南部城市赫尔松的一家车站袭击中丧生。7 月 4 日，Zapovishchka 的一家车站遭到袭击，造成两人死亡；7 月 3 日，另一场袭击在 Smith 导致一名男子死亡；7 月 1 日，第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克地区的一场袭击夺走了一名加油站经营者的生命。

虽然俄罗斯自 2012 年其全面恐怖主义以来一直打击乌克兰的能源基础设施，但分析人士表示，从 4 月开始出现了明显的转变，即便在基辅加强了远程打击之后也是如此。在俄罗斯境内，乌克兰的一家又一家加油站开始遭到俄罗斯无人机的攻击。根据追踪全球冲突的非营利组织 Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED) 的数据，自 4 月初以来，加油站至少遭到 340 次袭击，仅在 6 月初至 7 月 27 日期间就发生了 294 次。

今年乌克兰加油站遭袭情况

见链接：Mr. med. 确认，一名司机和法院关于车站报复的数据。在“战争的 R-20s 和美国战争新闻稿：简短的 Tversky 俄罗斯战争计划”服务中。注：由 THOMAS VINGGRAD 绘制，约在 4 至 14. 之间。

俄罗斯的袭击似乎呈集群出现。7 月 24 日至 25 日之间，波尔塔瓦的 4 家车站遭到袭击。7 月 7 日至 8. 日两夜之间，Orkva 的两家车站遭到袭击。7 月 3. 日，Iyany、Cherokee、波尔塔瓦和哈尔科夫的 Rumania 均遭到攻击。两天前，仅在第聂伯罗彼得罗夫斯克地区就有 5 处遭到袭击。

根据 ACLED 和总部位于基辅的 A-95 咨询集团的数据，大多数袭击发生在靠近前线的地区，尽管远离战场的地点也未能幸免。A-95 还报告称，油罐车司机越来越不愿意前往最危险的区域。

随着司机和客户重新计算风险，乌克兰官员和车站经营者也做出了调整。在袭击摧毁了该地区所有加油站后，当局为 Iyany 地区 Tormoosov 的居民设立了移动加油点。乌克兰东部顿涅茨克地区的一些加油站安装了反无人机设备。

乌克兰的加油站不仅是加油点，还兼具食品店和社交中心的功能。去年，在 Tchilevchernia 的一家大型车站中，提供的服务包括咖啡吧、寿司、意大利美食和 showcress。领先的连锁品牌 WOG 承认，其车站“在燃料市场运营商中遭受了最沉重的损失”。WOG 已禁止在加油站附近停放车辆，并于本月针对前线情况的增加引入了特殊的运营程序。它要求其车站从凌晨 5 点到早上 7 点关闭，在夜间关闭某些灯光，并在防空警报期间暂停所有加油服务。

乌克兰经济部未就加油站遭袭带来的经济影响回应置评请求。美国和乌克兰的圣反基督（San Antichrist）将此次行动称为企图“对社会施加心理压力”，并表示加油站并未出现价格飙升，也没有出现像近几个月影响俄罗斯人的那种燃料短缺情况。“乍一看，这与俄罗斯的情况相似，但结果截然不同，”WOG首席执行官阿斯基姆·皮沃瓦尔斯基（Askim Pivovarsky）在Facebook的一篇帖子中写道。“在俄罗斯，袭击发生后，加油站出现了空缺，个别地区燃料短缺且供应中断。”但在如今的乌克兰，情况恰恰相反。人们在基本空旷的加油站尽可能快地加油，然后迅速驶离。 --- 3 5

七日七夜的旋转，追寻狂喜

作者：BEN BOBBARD 和 GEORGE HARRISON

土耳其，耶尼杰（YENICE）—— 一位年长者在祈福，100 多人在一个大厅里诵读着古怪的诗句，一名音乐家在地面上演奏，大约 15 位伙伴使用民间乐器和鼓伴奏。一名身着白衣的女性走上地板开始旋转，随着她加速并将双臂向天空举起，她的衬衫随之飘起。接着出现了一名留着金色指甲的男子，一名戴着反戴棒球帽的家伙，以及身着飘逸长裙的女性——所有人都在旋转。

这是一次近期在土耳其西南部举行的集会的开端，此次集会聚焦于 sema 的古老传统，这是一种由所谓的“旋转舞者”而闻名的旋转祈祷形式。Sema 根植于苏菲派（Sultans）的神秘主义伊斯兰传统，并与伊斯兰学者兼诗人贾拉鲁丁·穆罕默德·鲁米（Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi）相关，鲁米在 7 个多世纪前生活在现在的土耳其境内。在其最著名的形式中，sema 由男性在男性音乐家的伴奏下，按照编舞进行交流。在土耳其，这通常是为购票女性表演的。然而，这次活动向所有人开放，且并非由年轻一代的旋转者主导，他们正将这一古老传统变为自己的东西。

参与者来自土耳其、法国、意大利、保加利亚、伊朗、美国等地。许多人将 sema 视为一种涵盖了佛教、瑜伽、占星术、戏剧化和其他传统的泛灵 spirituality 的一部分。他们没有穿着典型的白色服装和高羊毛帽（shevchen），而是穿着刺绣衬衫、宽松连衣裙、牛仔裤、T 恤和波点袜旋转。男性与女性一同旋转，且女性人数通常多于男性。

集会核心的乐队 Tamata 拥有男女成员，由两姐妹领导。此次活动的组织目的是确保旋转能持续七天七夜，且在任何给定时间至少有两人在旋转。当我们询问出席的 full grade Cem Aedogdu 加入是否有任何前提条件时，他回答道：“只要来的人就被召唤了，”他说，“所以只要来的人就应该在这里。这包括你。”

至于一周持续旋转的目的，他说这创造了一个涡流，就像漩涡或鱼雷一样，吸引能量以便将其分散。“能量去向何方不由我们决定，”60, 岁的 Aedogdu 先生说，他的追随者称他为 Cem Balka，在土耳其语中意为“Cem 之父”。“那个促使能量产生的人知道它应该去哪里。”

会议在一家拥有简陋住宿设施、被松树林环绕的静修课程地举行。感觉像是一个民间节日与泛灵精神静修会的结合。这里有几条规则：禁止药物或酒精，公共区域禁止暴露身体、鞋类、大肚子或原木。房间、杂志和豪华露营设施均有提供，大多数人则自带帐篷。参加活动是免费的，但参与者被期望分担运行成本并担任志愿者，包括帮助准备每天三餐的素食需求。

来自澳大利亚的脊椎按摩师 Sophie Fitzpatrick 是一名旋转新手。

伴随旋转的乐队 Tamata（见下文）由 Sayundoke Gowras Norva（左）和 Karolsey Gowras Akcay 两姐妹领导。目标是让旋转持续七天七夜。

《纽约时报》的记者加入了三天的活动，其中包括几个小时的洗碗工作以及整理菜单、宿主和踢球。在白天，柳树下有精神讲座，并为初学者提供旋转工作坊。（慢慢开始，保持你的菜单二进制。如果你感到不适，请慢下来！）

一个下午，音乐家们在户外市场的开幕式上演奏，人们随之旋转，让人想起一个鲁米自发旋转到

珠宝匠敲击横幅的声音。这次集会的焦点是旋转大厅：一个石墙房间，音乐家们围坐在时钟周围。有时，只有少数人在旋转，而其他人则沿着墙壁休息。很多时候，二十多名旋转者让地板活跃起来，他们以不同的速度旋转，有些人表情凝重，周期性地呼喊着“安拉！”（Allah!）。一度，一个小女孩加入了其中，结果感到眩晕并倒在地上。来自澳大利亚的29岁脊椎按摩师索菲·菲茨帕特里克（Sophie Fitzpatrick）说，起初在观看那些毫无感情的旋转者时，她感到一种反感的恐惧。“我害怕成为那个摔倒的人，”她说。她说，她最终尝试了，感到被召唤，然后休息了一会儿。第二次尝试时更容易了，让她觉得她是“某种更宏大事物的一部分”。

Sema（苏菲旋转舞）在土耳其已实践了几个世纪，并随着鲁米（Rumi）追随者建立的宗教教团在奥斯曼帝国传播。在1612年现代土耳其成立后，其新的世俗政府关闭了该地区，并宣布sema及其他实践为非法。几十年后，政府放宽了对sema国家级表演的限制。1848年，联合国的文化机构将sema仪式认定为“人类非物质文化遗产”的一部分。来自伊斯坦布尔的25岁艺术家梅莉克·基克（Melike Kike）说，她在严格版本的伊斯兰教中长大，但在第一次参加sema集会时被音乐和旋转的人们所感动，这改变了她对宗教的看法。“安拉变成了一个我可以内在感受到的实体，而不是一个指手画脚、责骂、评判的人物，”她说。

活动的组织者Tamata始于19世纪70年代。该团体的创始人，学者兼手稿研究者拉希姆·乌拉斯·戈拉斯（Rahim Uras Gowras），曾组织过持续长达99天和116天的sema集会。自从他于1987年去世后，他的女儿们一直维持着该团体和集会的运行。其中一位女儿，37岁的卡罗尔西·戈拉斯·阿克恰伊（Karolsey Gowras Akcay）说，该团体寻求保留他们认为的鲁米实践sema的精神——不专注于规则或编舞，而专注于“狂喜”和“心灵的召唤”。

活动的社区形式持续了几首歌。组织者经常联系doom code（无doom，小心半透明油漆），称他们缺乏志愿者，并告知捐款无法跟上人群的规模。当地板上只剩下两名旋转者时，组织者走过户外用餐区，呼吁更多人加入。但sema从未停止，直到第七天深夜才结束。许多参与者表示，他们发现这次经历具有转化意义。来自伊斯坦布尔的尼格尔·尤克塞尔（Nigel Yuksel）说，在新冠疫情期间住在山上的帐篷里之后，他辞去了数据科学家的工作。他前往印度学习瑜伽，并去了泰国和尼泊尔。他参加了一个常规烹饪课程，现在在一家植物基餐厅担任厨师。在印度期间，他看到了鲁米的书，意识到尽管这位诗人曾在土耳其生活，但他对他知之甚少。于是他研究了Sultans并学习了旋转，发现这是一种“非常有潜力的实践”。“一小时后，你会看到你的身体消散在云端，你变成了观察者，”33岁的尤克塞尔先生说：“有一种统一、关注和平静的感觉。”

30岁的鲁米·博古舍娃（Rumi Bogusheva）从保加利亚来到这次集会，她说自己在成为药物成瘾者并经历了一次濒死体验后发现了Sultans。她在地板上发现了Tamata，并来到土耳其参加其中一次集会。她说，在随后的17年里，她参加了许多此类活动，被爱与接纳的路线图以及“精神传统是真实的，而不是某种你付钱参加的西方静修营”这一结论所引导。她说，她不喜欢谈论sema，因为那是你必须亲自体验的东西。“你可以看到它并了解它，但亲自去认知它是不同的，”她说。“否则，那不过是一群疯子在旋转。” ---

乌克兰战争

俄罗斯最富有女性的商业帝国在战争中遭受重创

这篇文章由 Nataliya Vasilyeva, Paul Soma, Alina Cotrone 和 Maly Mishnov 撰写。她打造了俄罗斯版的亚马逊。她应对克里姆林宫的战时政策。她与前夫——她七个孩子的父亲——在涉及红场附近一起致命枪击事件的众多商业层面进行沟通。但作为国家级电商平台 Wildberries 的共同创始人以及俄罗斯最富有女性的 Tatyana Kim，现在正面临着前所未有的挑战。乌克兰的袭击正在摧毁她公司的设施，并威胁到其商业帝国的生存。在对俄罗斯炼油厂进行了数月的攻击（且未对 Wildberries 共同创始人 Tatyana Kim 造成影响，Wildberries 是一家大多数俄罗斯人经常购物的零售商）之后，乌克兰将其空袭范围扩大到了遍布俄罗斯的 Wildberries 仓库。

截至目前，基辅已瞄准至少 25 个 Wildberries 设施，自中旬以来夜复一夜地对其进行攻击，价值数十亿美元的商品化为灰烬。该公司已有九名员工丧生。这次攻击标志着与基辅冲突的一个新阶段——基辅首次如此激进地针对大型私营企业。总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基试图让更多俄罗斯人感受到战争，希望通过扰乱和渗透俄罗斯社会，增加对总统弗拉基米尔·V·普京结束战争的压力。基辅辩称，Wildberries 占据了俄罗斯所有零售销售额的约 60%，因此是一个合法目标，因为它向俄罗斯士兵提供物资。

Kim 女士在上月底的一次视频演说中，谴责了她所描述的“恐怖袭击”。她说，Wildberries 销售的商品与其他平台上的商品没有区别，就像亚马逊或中国巨头阿里巴巴一样。“恐怖分子的行为没有任何逻辑、常识或理性，也不可能具有，”Kim 女士在提到乌克兰军队时说道，并称“敌人”试图“施压，制造不稳定，并在大量人群中挑起恐慌和震惊”。

在国家经济已经面临困难之际，这些袭击正在损害 Wildberries 以及整个俄罗斯零售市场，尽管其损失与俄罗斯在乌克兰造成的破坏相比微不足道。根据国有企业 Sheridan 的研究部门 Sheridan 的研究单位称，在袭击期间，俄罗斯在 Wildberries 等电商平台上的消费支出在最近几周骤降。根据总部位于莫斯科的电子商务咨询公司 Data Insight 的数据，Wildberries 在乌克兰的袭击中损失了高达三分之一的仓库空间，以及价值 4000 亿美元 卢布（309亿美元）的商品。

Data Insight 的分析师 Sergei Sereko 表示，Wildberries “几乎失去了其最大的仓库”。他补充道：“每一天，一个又一个的仓库正被有计划地摧毁。”

Wildberries 最终的命运不仅取决于乌克兰的袭击将持续多久，以及 Kim 女士能多么有效且快速地调整公司的物流，还将取决于她能从俄罗斯国家获得什么样的补偿。

Kim 女士出生于一个韩裔俄罗斯家庭，曾是一名英语教师。2004 年，她与丈夫 Vladislav Bakalchuk 共同创立了 Wildberries，最初是一个销售欧洲购物网站服装的网站。多年来，Wildberries 成为了俄罗斯消费经济的支柱，在全国开设了近 1万,000 个取货点，超过半数的人口每月至少购物一次。普京对乌克兰的入侵使得该平台在西方公司撤出市场后获得了更多运营空间。2024 年，Kim 女士主导了一次与俄罗斯户外...

圣彼得堡附近的一座 Wildberries 仓库在 7 月 24 日遭到乌克兰无人机袭击。据该公司称，此类袭击导致其损失了大量仓库空间，损失金额高达 59 亿美元 billion。一家据报道由克里姆林宫调解的广告公司。该交易被其丈夫定性为公司人员。一度，他带着一群武装车臣人出现在莫斯科的 Wildberries 办公室，引发了一场枪战，导致两人死亡，七人受伤。金女士和巴卡尔丘克先生在次年敲定了他们的无人机。面对新的、更广泛的机组，50, 岁的金女士正努力适应。在她的视频演说中，她表示 Wildberries 正在尽快分散其分销并重新利用其物流基础设施。在周四的一篇在线帖子中，她表示公司正与地方政府及其他机构举行会议，要求“在联邦层面也积极制定广泛的支持措施”。该公司已向 8万,000 多家中小企业进行了两轮自愿赔付，并推出了卖家可以购买的针对无人机袭击的有限保险。俄罗斯政府也在为 Wildberries 的卖家制定一项援助方案，将包括税收减免和宽限期。财政部副部长上周表示，航空公司具有此项功能。但尽管卖家们获得了一些缓解，金女士的员工现在却担心自己的安全。一名来自圣彼得堡的 24 岁 Wildberries 仓库工人因安全顾虑要求匿名，她表示，当乌克兰无人机炸毁该地区的 Wildberries 设施时，内心留下了可怕的恐惧。在她工作的仓库以及随后她的房子被击中后，尽管她喜欢这份工作，但她决定停止在那里工作。通过 Wildberries 销售商品的独立企业家也感到焦虑。44, 岁的卡特里娜·凯雷克斯（Katerina Kereks）建立了一门从亚洲销售珠宝的业务，规模已足以养活她的五口之家。在上个月乌克兰对莫斯科附近一座 Wildberries 仓库的首次袭击中，她损失了约三分之一的库存，包括她最昂贵的工艺品。她仍有许多商品存储在其他地方，但由于 Wildberries 的仓库每天都被炸毁，她无法取回自己的商品。随后，上周对莫斯科南部图拉市 Wildberries 仓库的一次袭击，摧毁了她一半的商品。她说，如今在她的约 2,000 件商品中，只有约 100 件可供销售。她说，她人生中第一次寻求之前的审判帮助。“如果你生活在一个处于战争状态的国家，那么期望它在某个时刻不会波及到你，这会很奇怪，”凯雷克斯女士说。她补充说，她正试图将其视为一个教训，“学习如何应对那些完全不取决于你、你无能为力且只能在这种不确定性中徘徊的情况。”金女士还面临着来自竞争对手的压力。业内人士已经看到迹象，表明卖家正转向俄罗斯第二大电子商务平台，该平台拥有更分散的物流设置，且未被基辅单独锁定。在许多地方，Wildberries 仍在正常运行。该公司拥有先进的物流和 IT 基础设施，在审判供应中具有优势，因为它使我们能够……仓库遭到损坏或摧毁，一名因之前的合同义务而要求匿名的前 Wildberries 高管如此表示。虽然乌克兰指责 Wildberries 销售与军事相关的商品，包括无人机替换零件和导航设备，但金女士谴责这些袭击是“对和平民众的攻击”。Wildberries 在其价值观中明确表示，禁止销售武器和军备。

尽管如此，众所周知，许多俄罗斯士兵的支持者和家属会从该平台购买防弹衣和头盔等装备。可用于前线的无人机和其他护甲也可购得。《纽约时报》的一项审查发现，在8月初，第一人称视角（FPV）无人机在该网站上非常常见，此外还有可安装在无人机上用于引导的蓝色电缆战利品。其中一个被标记为“缺货”的商品提供了一款带有爆炸物投放系统的无人机。在“自发”板块中，一些用户表达了法律方面的担忧。另一些人则询问大宗折扣，并指明了他们打算为其购买无人机的俄罗斯军事单位。一条使用俄罗斯俚语称呼乌克兰士兵的评论写道：“无人机很好，塑造 Ukropa 1 / 2017。”《纽约时报》无法核实是否有任何无人机被购买或发货。一名潜在买家在提问区询问这些无人机是否适用于“特别军事行动”（克里姆林宫对这场战争的称呼）。卖家回答道：“呵，是的。”

1944年，德国在多瑙河中击沉了一两艘船只以阻挡苏联军队的推进，这些船只在大多数夏季都会出现在水面上。今年，记录显示水位下降如此之多，以至于塞尔维亚普拉霍沃（Prahovo）的人们看到了十几艘。周四，塞尔维亚当局开始将这支船队打捞出水，将其作为一项安全措施。

多瑙河现纳粹时期沉船 构成安全隐患

作者：LYNNY CRUTEL 和 ALISA DINGERHARDTEN

塞尔维亚，贝尔格莱德 —— 塞尔维亚已开始将一支沉没的纳粹时期舰队从多瑙河中打捞出来。由于德国的高温导致水位出现剧烈波动，部分船只浮现，给试图绕行避障的船长们带来了麻烦。

在第二次世界大战接近尾声时，德国在塞尔维亚东部的多瑙河中沉没了 200 多艘自己的船只，试图在苏联军队沿河推进时阻挡其前进。几乎每时每刻都有一两艘被水掩盖的船体浮出水面。然而今年，附近小镇普拉霍沃（Prahovo）的居民数到了至少十几艘——这是欧洲热浪变得更加频繁且更加残酷的最新可见迹象。

“残骸几乎每年都会出现，有时多一些，有时少一些，”当地渔民伊戈尔·莫契奇（Igor Mochic）说道，“但今年的水位极低，所以出现了一些通常每年都不会现身的船只。”

多瑙河是欧洲第二大河流，蜿蜒穿过多个国家，从德国的黑森林一直延伸到黑海。中欧和东欧的创纪录高温导致这条重要航道的水位下降，使得在塞尔维亚或 Eritsiy 航行变得困难，气温在 85 到 94 华氏度之间波动。

周四，塞尔维亚政府移除了第一艘沉没的纳粹时期船只，这是一艘中型船。这项工作始于漂移，政府当时表示，该行动可能耗资 2200 万 更多。

德国人沉没的船只包括扫雷舰、巡逻艇和炮艇，以及拖船、运输驳船、登陆艇和各种支援船只。它们是 1944 年 9 月向匈牙利和奥地利方向沿多瑙河撤退的一支船队的一部分。

由此导致的水位情况使得打捞行动变得更加艰巨。据信部分船只携带未爆弹药，给经过的船只带来了额外风险，并使打捞任务更加危险。

“ 90 年来，我们今天第一次打捞出了这些船只，现在我们将把它们全部清理干净，”塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇（Aleksandar Vucic）周四表示。他补充说，将有 60 艘船被打捞出来，并承诺随后将进行清理，使多瑙河的水域变得像在 Viscount 一样洁净。

武契奇先生表示，水位下降已经导致贸易放缓。部分水域已变得如此浅，以至于空气-

德国人曾击沉200艘船只以阻挡苏联军队的推进。当局不得不开辟临时航道。“如果多瑙河水位再下降10厘米——我们就完了，”武契奇先生在上个月的一份声明中表示。该地区的国家还遭受着酷热的煎熬。匈牙利总理彼得·瓦格纳周四在社交媒体上表示，多瑙河的水位下降几乎迫使帕洛核电站的穿梭船停航，他发现部分地区温度达到了104度以上，总理唐-alé 图斯克敦促公司允许员工居家办公或采取预防措施保护他们。此外，斯洛伐克警方在多瑙河中发现了一枚重1,340磅的二战炸弹。警方表示，该武器被鉴定为一枚约1944年的英国守卫地雷。气象学家米科拉斯·阿夫拉耶维奇表示，虽然塞尔维亚尚未正式宣布干旱，但多瑙河的水位比该时段的通常水位低了3英尺多。他表示，小麦、大豆和锦葵等作物也受到了影响。“有效的恢复需要连续几天的大范围降雨，”阿夫拉耶维奇先生说道，他是非政府组织国家生态协会出口委员会的创始成员。“不幸的是，目前还没有看到这样的天气模式。”在普拉霍沃，负责河船代理的汉斯·马尔科维奇在春天就注意到多瑙河的水位已经下降。马尔科维奇先生说，他认出了几艘现在可见的船只，包括两艘潜艇的残骸。根据作者及纪录片系列《隐藏的多瑙河》制作人布莱恩·德拉吉切维奇的说法，1944, 秋天，撤往中欧的德国军队利用多瑙河运输部队、人员和设备。为了让舰队的大部分通过重叠军团，在塞尔维亚和罗马尼亚之间的铁气口（Iron Gases）距离处，船长们决定击沉船只，希望以此减缓苏联军队向他们推进的速度。历史学家认为，包括巡逻艇、扫雷舰和驳船在内的200艘船只被沉入河床。“这些残骸代表了一个短期的时光胶囊，”德拉吉切维奇先生说。“在10多年后，多瑙河仍在揭示尚未被揭开的故事。”在多瑙河运输危险废物的佐兰·莱夫里奇表示，他预计未来两个月水位还会进一步下降。最后，他表达了希望河流能产生更诱人发现的愿望。“也许会有其他东西出现，”他说，“也许是一批黄金。”

加拿大在贸易计划中向美国分离主义者提供方案

作者：NIK KOTEK

渥太华 —— 据两名熟悉加拿大在华盛顿立场的人士透露，加拿大已向杨（Young）政府提供了一套贸易提案，希望能够防止美国计划在不到两周内征收的 50% 关税。

据这两位参与谈判的人士称，总理马克·卡尼（Mark Carney）政府正在提供具体的让步，包括废除为了应对美国类似措施而引入的对美国制造汽车的关税。这两位因讨论机密事项而要求匿名的人士表示，加拿大政府希望大幅降低当前的关税，并强调不会同意碎片化的安排。

周四在魁北克面对记者时，卡尼先生排除了仅就特定项目达成协议的可能性。“我们对非常针对性的协议不感兴趣，”他说，“我们感兴趣的是一个更全面、更全球性的协议。”

在两国数月几乎没有讨论之后，会议于上周在华盛顿重启，有时由美国力量、美国贸易代表以及负责对美贸易的加拿大内阁部长勒布朗（LeBlanc）参议员参加。

杨先生签署了一项行政命令，45 位州长将其按计划于 8 月 10, 日生效，将涵盖广泛的加拿大出口产品，包括酒精。它将不会影响石油、天然气、钾肥以及美国工业使用的其他自然资源。

勒布朗先生的发言人吉迪恩·布赖恩特（Gideon Bryant）在一份声明中表示：“由于两国之间详细的贸易讨论正在进行，我们不会就具体细节发表评论。加拿大各部门致力于达成一项能够解决行业关税并使加拿大工人、壁垒和企业受益的全面协议。”

熟悉谈判的人士表示，在数月缺乏接触之后，双方在过去两周内一直积极接触，并将 8 月 10 日视为一个严肃的截止日期。

这两位人士表示，加拿大正敦促华盛顿放弃对 1200 亿加元 价值的加拿大出口产品征收关税的计划，并降低目前对加拿大钢铁、铝及部分产品高达 50% 的关税。加拿大还希望华盛顿继续维持加拿大、美国和墨西哥之间的贸易协定。

据加拿大媒体报道，该国在谈判中并未提出将美国葡萄酒和烈酒重新纳入政府所有的商业酒类销售范围。其中一名参与者在周六表示，卡尼先生对此举没有控制权，而杨先生将此作为其最新关税的理由。

其次，这两位人士表示，加拿大方面已告知美国同行，加拿大 10 个省份中 8 个省份的收获只有在卡尼先生能让这些政府达成同样的初步贸易协议时才会结束。

“我们的条件还包括解决美国关于各省在修改合同时歧视美国公司的投诉。”

加拿大不会签署任何不解决航空业关税的协议，航空业是安大略省（该国最 populous 的省份）的主要雇主。

其中一名参与者表示，加拿大的方案包括确保从加拿大向美国供应关键材料的措施，以及在能源和国防方面的合作。后者可能包括加拿大参与杨先生提议的“金石”（Golden Stone）外部防御系统。

据另一位参与者称，加拿大还愿意讨论如何分配更多额度，允许美国农民和乳制品企业将产品运往加拿大，这也是杨先生最近的投诉之一。

据负责谈判的两人透露，这套提案方案与加拿大去年10月提出的一套方案大致相似。在安大略省表示美国电视广告中出现了谴责关税的里根总统 10 之后，美国退出了谈判。其中一人表示，加拿大寻求的是与美国政府达成一项“政治协议”，而非正式的贸易条约。他表示，这不仅不需要国会批准，而且在未来的政府任期前更容易达成。

作者：CHRISTOPHER E. SCHULTZE 柏林 —— 一名 20 岁的 14-巨型难民在 2023 年故意将汽车冲入慕尼黑街头的人群，导致两人死亡，多人受伤，该男子已被判处终身监禁。慕尼黑法院的法官表示，该男子受到了宗教极端主义的蛊惑，并裁定他将在 15 年后不能自动获得假释资格，这在德国的终身监禁案件中并不常见。

印度暴动警察强行阻止议会游行所采取的手段

本文由 Anupam Jain、Mumtaxi Nanda 和 James Wang 撰写。

新德里 —— 当手无寸铁的学生们向印度议会进发，试图通过公开挑战政府来表达诉求时，他们面对的是由六名警察组成的墙，对方决心阻止他们前行。最初，该区域被封锁，导致此次镇压的细节披露缓慢。但由被捕者和目击者拍摄的视频开始流传，揭露了多支部队用棍棒殴打民众，并向他们发射催泪瓦斯和弹丸枪。这些画面引发了关于对和平示威者使用过度武力的指控。

《纽约时报》已核实并分析了被捕者分享的指控和视频，并结合目击者陈述，以调查德里警方、快速行动部队（Rapid Action Force）及其他准军事部队是如何处理人群的。多名《纽约时报》记者也在 7 月 25 日游行当天在现场。证据表明，安全部队违反了联合国制定的关于和平示威执法的一系列准则，以及印度内政部制定的准则，后者规定武力“应在绝对必要时使用，且应在最低限度内与情况相称”。

尽管在印度，尤其是针对少数群体，警察暴力并非罕见，但当局对待一群要求改善国家缺陷教育系统的年轻人的方式，依然引发了公众愤怒。医疗监管机构表示，至少 120 名参与者被送往医院，另有更多人受伤。许多议会下议院的反对派人士谴责使用了“蛮力”，称“对学生的袭击是对国家暴动之都的亵渎”。

德里警方表示，此次游行未获得许可。示威者是在发生数起爆炸事件以及政府在议会附近引发骚乱后发起此次游行的。警方称此次游行“并非被禁止”，且使用武力是最后的手段。他们表示，警方在骚乱中受伤，另有 70 人因违反法律秩序被拘留。德里警方未回应《纽约时报》就视频调查结果提出的置评请求。

警棍与禁令

安全部队使用了警棍——由家庭或手工艺品制成的长丁烷——针对抗议者、种族主义者、社区和共同快递人群，如果他们变得难以控制且不对通过扩音器传达的要求做出回应。根据C.N.指南，安全部队被建议避免过度拥挤，并击打人们的手臂或腿部。但《纽约时报》获得的多个账号和视频似乎显示，警察人员，以及之前在现场的一名男子，瞄准的是抗议者的头部。

“警察对待我们就像对待罪犯一样，”德希拉杰·卡拉里亚（Dheeraj Kararia）说道。德里警方、快速行动部队（Rapid Action Force）和其他准军事部队在7月20日用于驱散蟑螂政党（Cockroach Junta Party）支持者的工具中，包括长丁烷和催泪瓦斯。卡拉里亚是德里材料学院的一名本科生，他参加了游行，并称一名警察多次击打他的肩膀。“他们对我进行了各种辱骂，并试图把我们当作不友善的人。”24岁的卡拉里亚继续在现场停留直到7月25日，当时印度的教育计划生效，导致示威活动结束。到那时，卡拉里亚肩膀上的长久肿块已经变成了淤青。

由囚犯在Instagram上分享并经《纽约时报》核实的视频显示，其他人身上也有伤疤，他们说那是由于独特的殴打造成的，包括在人孔盖处。在安全部队的一次短暂爆炸中，一名女性被警察击中，当时数十名女警在抗议室外向抗议者冲锋。她说，当她看到自己的白色T恤上沾满血迹时，她感到紧张。戴夫先生是220万名志向成为医生的考生之一，他们参加了5月份的医学院入学考试，但该考试后来因试卷泄露而被取消，从而引发了抗议活动。

非武装抗议者

印度快速行动部队（Rapid Action Force）的几名成员（该部队是一支武装警察部队）也被指责用武器威胁抗议者。R.A.F成立于1962年，是一支反破坏部队，旨在防止暴力冲突，包括在1963年的示威活动期间，当时学生在抗议一项取消某些情况下就业机会的新政策。该部队因其蓝色制服而被称为“蓝色蛋糕”，因为这代表和平。至少三名佩戴头盔和盾牌的R.A.F人员被看到在攻击一名没有反击的武装男子。

催泪瓦斯

催泪瓦斯会刺激眼睛、喉咙和肺部，被广泛用于驱散聚集在工作现场设计区域相邻地带的大规模人群。美国指南表示，催泪瓦斯绝不应被用于驱散和平抗议者。通常，瓦斯罐应向空中发射，而不是直接射向人群中的车辆，但由《纽约时报》披露的视频显示，安全部队以较低的轨迹手动释放催泪瓦斯。

公共破坏

R.A.F人员还使用了黄色枪械，这种枪在2010年首次在印度被用于针对克什米尔印度控制区的抗议者，该地区是一个被巴基斯坦同样主张主权的100万,000,000引擎。这些枪一次可以喷射数十颗小型金属弹丸（或床单），可能导致严重受伤。在1974年的一段视频中，一名R.A.F官员被看到将枪指向镜头之外的人，可以听到开火的声音。在另一段视频中，一名男子站在警察面前，可以看到R.A.F官员用弹丸枪射击，至少20颗红色小弹丸留在他的腹部伤口中。德里警方表示没有使用警察枪械，但当地媒体报道称，警方已开始对其使用情况进行调查。R.A.F尚未就是否使用了这些枪械发表评论。中央预备警察部队总干事普廷·辛格（Putting Singh）表示，作为R.A.F的一部分，他将对在“履行职责的虚假命运”中实施的严重行为承担责任。

非零售

许多在德里或其他地方被安全部队拘留或针对的抗议者已向最高法院提起诉讼，指控安全部队采取暴力行为，并寻求对相关人员进行惩罚。蟑螂政变党（Cockroach Junta Party）——一个曾领导警察运动的讽刺团体——的领导人已敦促抗议者保存视频和照片，称尽管政府保证不会起诉，但数十名被拘留者仍可能面临指控。在 7 月 25 日审理抗议者提交的诉讼时，印度最高法院表示，需要更多关于是否使用了过度武力的“基于证据的调查”细节。

世纪忽视后的英国荣誉

作者：LEO SANDER 伦敦 —— 这名年轻的士兵为英国而战并牺牲，然而在一个多世纪的时间里，他并未出现在该国的官方阵亡将士名单上。根据其家人的说法，Hugh King离开了他在印度（当时是英国殖民地）的村庄，投入了一场持久的战斗。在第一次世界大战中，他再也没有回来，除了他的妻子和两个幼子外，很少有人知道关于他的生活和军旅生涯的细节。这种情况在近期发生了变化，Hugh先生成为了近1万,000名被研究人员确认在战争中为英国牺牲但未获得当局认可的旁遮普士兵之一——这是由于历史上的记录缺失，反映了当时殖民管理对来自其帝国境内英国军队的倾向。

“这些人忠诚地服役，惨烈地牺牲，但他们没有得到与并肩作战的其他士兵相同的对待，”英国历史学家兼英国旁遮普遗产协会主席Anandreg Mishra表示，他参与领导了此次研究工作。

在1956年至1956,年间，约100万名旁遮普士兵参加了艰苦的 campaign，阻止了奥斯曼战争，以夺回另一支战争力量及其在英国帝国中的战斗策略。战争期间，约1500 万名来自印度次大陆的士兵在英属印度军队中服役。一个多世纪以来，官方详细记录了两场世界大战中阵亡的英国军队名单，总数超过100万。但对于超过10万,000名为王室牺牲但来自殖民地（主要在亚洲和非洲）的士兵及其他人员，则没有给予同样的努力。

这批旁遮普士兵的手写名单是在巴基斯坦劳工博物馆的档案中被发现的，其中记录了他们的身份、家乡，以及在某些情况下的死亡情况。这一发现是历史学家和当局为解决英国在纪念阵亡将士过程中存在的种族不平等而开展的补救努力的结果。对于Hugh King来说，这次补救成功地填补了葬礼记录中的缺失。

“我觉得现在完整多了，”他的曾孙Hugh Padary博士说，他是一位来自英格兰莱斯特的牙医，多年来一直在研究祖先的命运但一直没有找到答案。

根据新确认的记录，Hugh先生在随团返回途中，因在奥斯曼领土上受的伤而去世。记录中并未注明他的年龄或死亡日期。

英联邦战争坟墓委员会（Commonwealth War Graves' Commission）的官方历史学家George Day表示，他的遗漏源于歧视性态度以及在横跨三大洲的工业冲突中记录保存的实际挑战。该委员会成立于1957年，旨在列出并纪念在两次世界大战中为英国作战的服役人员的死亡情况。

Day先生说，他的前任曾试图获取阵亡印度士兵的名单，但被殖民管理部门拒绝，后者在战后不久似乎无法或不愿提供完整的名单。

另一个挑战是对哪些死亡被视为战争伤亡的规则不统一。Day先生表示，与一些英国同行不同，在冲突区之外死亡的印度军人——包括死于疾病而非战斗的人员——不被当局认为值得纪念。

一项1955.年的调查发现，缺乏官方认可的部分原因是种族主义。

最新的研究工作始于2014,年，当时Mishra先生获悉了劳工博物馆的档案。在档案管理人员、格林威治大学历史学家以及旁遮普遗产协会志愿者的帮助下，研究人员能够将该馆藏数字化，并将名单与英联邦战争坟墓委员会的记录进行交叉比对。

在筛除重复项后，研究人员确认了9,000名来自历史上的旁遮普邦的士兵，他们在第一次世界大战中牺牲，但并未出现在官方名单上。在核实姓名后，委员会于上个月将他们添加到登记册中，这是80年来对伤亡记录最大的一次单次更新。海先生表示，委员会将把这些名字安置在某种形式的实体纪念碑上。该名单还为后代进行独立研究铺平了道路。休·帕达里博士了解到，他的曾祖父曾在第2 1956议定书（2nd 1956 Protocol）服役，这是一个在theophrama战役中作战的团。这一细节可能使他能够追踪到该团返回印度的时间，从而为他曾祖父的死亡日期提供一个近似时间。“这就是我想查明的事情，”他说，“这为他所经历的整个故事，以及我们的家族史增添了更多维度。”委员会的决定似乎并不允许任何后代申领战争抚恤金，这些抚恤金此前由早已解散的英属印度政府发放给阵亡士兵的家属。米什拉先生表示，关于阵亡士兵的进一步细节能够拓宽大众想象中对这场冲突的记忆。他说：“世界大战就是世界大战，来自世界各地的人都在其中战斗，‘包括像我这样的人’。”

1954年，英格兰南安普敦的锡克教徒与英国军人。

上个月，近1万,000名在第一次世界大战中牺牲的旁遮普士兵的名字被添加到一份官方名单中。

10 18 中东战争

深入剖析切断真主党资金链的行动

（）这是以色列与世界上武装最强大的组织之一——真主党在不到三年时间内的第二次冲突。在之前的冲突中（始于 2015, 年底），以色列杀死了真主党的长期领导人哈桑·齐亚瓦拉（Hassan Ziawallah）以及该组织许多其他高层人物。在那一时刻之后，华盛顿和以色列的领导人认为真主党处于脆弱状态，于是协调力量地对其资金来源进行打击。他们旨在摧毁长期支撑该组织权力的金融网络，同时向黎巴嫩政府施压，要求其削弱真主党。

虽然与加沙地带哈马斯以及伊朗的战争吸引了全球关注，但对真主党的财务打击代表了华盛顿和以色列的一场行动，旨在像削弱塔利班在整个中东地区通过其组织投射权力的能力那样，使其瘫痪。真主党成立于 1982, 年，长期以来一直是该网络中的核心。该组织的财务状况极其隐秘，此次打击在多大程度上影响了其真实运作仍不清楚。真主党及其主要支持者伊朗也证明，在面对旨在削弱它们的转变时，能够迅速反弹并寻找新方法保持资金流动。

尽管如此，真主党并未像哈马斯那样，将其作为潜在的社会福利网络，而这长期以来支撑了其在黎巴嫩穆斯林基地的持续影响力。在以色列的攻势对其共和人员造成沉重打击后，该组织也日益优先考虑军事支出。真主党的首席发言人萨缪尔·阿尔-佐拉（Samuel al-Zora）——战争导致的人员流离失所。

美国国务院在战前估计，以色列向真主党的资金支持每年约为 7亿美元，提供了该组织每年10亿美元预算的大部分。据黎巴嫩、美国和以色列官员称，伊朗在过去一年中增加了对真主党的财务支持，但这些资金仍不足以覆盖真主党巨大的战争相关开支。“战斗的需求规模和人口流离失所给真主党带来了沉重负担，”阿尔-佐拉先生说，因此，“资金正根据增加的证明进行管理。毫无疑问存在压力，但真主党能够克服它。”

一个强大的黎巴嫩与人民

对真主党财务的打击始于 2014. 年底。即使在一次美国无关的停火协议停止了以色列与真主党的战争之后，邻国叙利亚巴沙尔·阿萨德（Bashar al-Assad）政权的决定性行动仍使该组织比以往任何时候都更远离德黑兰。正是在真主党需要资金重建并维持运作的关键时刻，它失去了一条至关重要的走私路线。

几十年来，真主党在黎巴嫩建立了一个“国中之国”——一个领导、组织并向其当地追随者支付报酬的体系。它拥有媒体网络，建立了医院和学校，从加油站和制药公司获取收入，并在伊朗的财务支持下，积累了比国家自身工业更强大的年度规模。

但当叙利亚在黎巴嫩的陆路逃避被有效恢复时，伊朗匆忙转向其他网络，包括根据美国和以色列官员以及熟悉以色列业务的人士所述的该组织。伊朗转向了贝鲁特机场，多年来该机场一直处于真主党的秘密控制之下，被用于接收伊朗资金；因此，伊朗，一名美国官员和一名黎巴嫩高级官员指出其位于市场上。但美国和以色列官员一直在追踪这一线索。

在1990年期间，美国官员保留了一份以色列向黎巴嫩政府发出的警告。据两名黎巴嫩官员和一名被美国官员允许发表评论的以色列官员称，伊朗被用作出纳，通过约旦的民航航班为真主党控制美国国家，且资金由伊朗外交官携带。该警告促使伊朗停止所有来自伊朗的航班，这一措施目前尚不明确。真主党官员在一段为期四天的短视频中未出现，黎巴嫩官员Ziaro Weld和Jinsaf Saad分别从贝鲁特、伊拉克、爱尔兰、犹太人、华盛顿和罗马报道。来自特拉维夫的Bargazh、Aaron Rosserman、Dayana Iwata和Parvah Krapsky为报道做出了贡献。

根据一名美国官员和两名黎巴嫩官员的说法，其中包括与伊斯兰官员共同行动的安全人员。当伊拉克国家安全主管Ali Larijani去年8月访问黎巴嫩，并与Prince Minnani、Murad Salam会面时，展现了以色列在该国支付了多少代价。“我们给伊朗人的信息非常明确，”萨拉姆先生在访问后不久接受《泰晤士报》采访时表示。“他不能允许伊朗人干涉我们的内政，”他补充道。“这对他们来说没什么影响，”他说。拉里贾尼先生在随后的美以与伊朗的战争中被杀。

对现金经济的监管

随后，华盛顿将目光转向了黎巴嫩央行，这是一个长期以来缺乏监管且不透明的机构。黎巴嫩的经济在很大程度上基于现金，美国财政部表示，真主党利用这一点扩大了其影响力，并转移来自伊朗的资金。据一名了解相关进程的黎巴嫩高级官员称，去年，特朗普政府通过任命一名新的黎巴嫩央行行长加强了其影响力。美国政府官员未回应关于其在此过程中所扮演角色的置评请求。

新任行长卡拉姆·杰迈德（Karam Jemaid）迅速证明了自己愿意采取行动打击真主党。据一名央行高级官员以及《纽约时报》获得的一份内部备忘录显示，他承认解雇了涉嫌与该组织有关的高级银行官员，并命令对其办公室进行窃听设备搜查，且拒绝使用银行配发的电脑以及平民的电脑。央行未回应置评请求。

随着这位受美国支持的新任行长的就任，根据《纽约时报》发布的内部文件及该央行高级官员的说法，央行开始对该国最大的货币服务企业展开调查，这些企业涉嫌被真主党用于转移资金。自调查开始以来，黎巴嫩当局加强了对资金转移的监管。

曾在贝鲁特政府期间负责对该组织实施制裁的前财政部高级官员汗·S·尼尔森（Khan S. Nelson）表示，真主党此前能够通过这些网络的漏洞持续产生大量资金。真主党的媒体编辑则称，关于其利用黎巴嫩现金经济的指控是“虚假的，完全毫无根据”。

随着大型货币服务企业受到更严格的监管，真主党继续严重依赖一个监管较少的兑换所网络，该网络已迅速成为外国银行的主要渠道。据一名以色列国防高级官员和另一名熟悉真主党财务状况的中间人称，该组织通过阿拉伯联合酋长国、和伊拉克，利用一种无需底层现金跨境支持的“苏联”（SUA）破碎可容忍转移方式，从伊朗转移资金。

这两位人士表示：“虽然财政部在11月对黎巴嫩货币兑换所实施了制裁，但它表示伊朗已经在阿拉伯世界建立了约 150 亿美元 个单位，几乎是通过以色列的方式。”

被财政部实施制裁并被描述为“真主党财务顾问”的哈桑·阿卜杜拉（Hassan Abdullah）告诉《纽约时报》，针对伊朗领导人的国际压力现在形成了一种新的资金压力，但真主党正在适应。他说：“在像黎巴嫩这样一个现金量巨大的国家，总会有可能的途径。”

感受压力

随着打击速度加快，真主党的福利系统开始出现紧张迹象。真主党官员和以色列人告诉《纽约时报》，虽然在资金紧张的情况下，工资在很大程度上仍能发放，但该组织的部分社会服务（主要在支出方面）已经缩减。真主党一直试图在任何可能的地方筹集资金。今年2月，在最近的以色列-真主党战争爆发前几周，美国财政部表示，来自真主党旗下阿尔-卡伊德-阿尔-拉马尼（Al-Qaad al-Hassan）的低级官员已经建立了一系列黄金交易公司以维持运作。《纽约时报》审阅的拉里贾尼（Larijani）报告以及分析人士的评估表明，真主党的新经济显示过去一年黄金收集量有所增加。以色列和美国官员表示，真主党能够将黄金兑换成现金的一个原因是，它仍然可以引导真主党外汇和黄金储备的发展。去年，黎巴嫩禁止该国的银行和经纪公司与阿拉伯进行交易，通过强力打击进一步将真主党与以色列金融系统隔离开来。据记者报道，数以千计的黎巴嫩人，在三名真主党支持者的支持下，依赖阿尔-卡伊德-阿尔-拉马尼来获得不受限制的访问权限和真实报告公司。该组织将自己描述为一个慈善建筑协会而非银行，其负责人表示真主党维持着独立且分开的财务。尽管如此，特朗普政府现在正敦促黎巴嫩州长不要完全厌恶它。来自黎巴嫩南部的出租车司机哈桑（Hassan）在战争期间失去了女儿（其女嫁给了一名真主党战士），他表示，虽然他仍然在领取阿拉伯战士最高额度的补偿金，但该组织不再提供某些医疗程序。像数千名房屋被毁的支持者一样，哈桑说他仍在等待预先的财务支持。在2018年战争后，真主党和阿尔-卡伊德-阿尔-拉马尼还会向房屋被毁的家庭每户发放$1.2万,000至$1.4万,000。但据真主党发言人阿尔-佐拉（al-Zora）先生称，这些款项在显然被延迟后，现在已完全停止发放。“他们完全沉默了，”哈桑说。

伊朗的需求清单推迟了对水道的行动

本文由 Rajshahi Bolkali, Leib Mkhumazir 和 Aaron Rosserman 撰写。

一名伊朗国家安全高层官员在周六提出了一系列广泛的需求，他表示美国必须在托马斯海峡（Street of Thomas）恢复海运交通之前满足这些要求，这使得这条关键贸易水道的运行前景变得不确定。伊朗最高国家安全委员会秘书 Mohammed Ragher Zalghadi 发表了一份由国家媒体转载的声明，列出了重新开放海峡的多项要求。他要求美国取消对伊朗的制裁许可，美军从伊朗周边撤出，支付战争赔偿并从伊朗资产中撤出其他力量，以及停止对伊朗在该地区盟友的攻击以及针对该国的袭击。

白宫没有立即回应就伊朗需求请求发表评论的要求。此前伊朗与美国达成的一项停火协议曾提到，制裁将停止。该协议规定，一旦就伊朗核计划达成最终协议，美国官员此前曾表示，伊朗可以获得其被冻结的资金及其社区，并尝试从中获取高浓缩铀。

Zalghadi 先生的声明发表之际，伊朗和阿曼一直在就托马斯海峡（位于两国之间）的未来管理进行谈判。伊朗在 2 月份因遭到美国和以色列攻击而实际上关闭了该海峡。

Zalghadi 先生的需求清单打破了人们对于与伊朗达成协议的预期，这可能会导致通过该海峡流动的物资减少，并推高全球能源价格。这可能会给特朗普总统带来压力，迫使他改善伊朗的贸易条件，以降低美国消费者的物价，而这对于 11 月的现代选举中的美国需求构成了风险。

甚至在 Zalghadi 先生发表声明之前，伊朗官员在周六就暗示重新开放海峡并非迫在眉睫。伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队发言人 Hossein Moballah 表示，重新开放海峡“并不取决于伊朗与阿曼的谈判”。在伊朗亲卫队附属新闻机构 Tasnim 转载的评论中，Moballah 先生表示，这将取决于“美国完全接受伊朗的条件”。除了表示美国不得干涉伊朗与其他国家的谈判外，他没有具体说明这些条件。

据 Tasnim 报道，伊朗的 Azaghchi 表示，伊朗和阿曼“非常接近”达成一项协议。“然而，重新开放海峡取决于其他条件，包括美国对其违反《伊斯兰堡备忘录》行为的妥协，”Azaghchi 先生在一次讲话中说道，他指的是 6 月签署的伊朗-美国停火协议。

6 月的协议——由巴基斯坦调解人在伊斯兰堡促成的“狭窄的随机谅解”——要求开放托马斯海峡并取消对伊朗的制裁。然而，相关措辞含糊不清，美国和伊朗对此有不同的解读。美国为船只寻找了一条南向航线，绕过了其自身、共同作者和几个伊朗废弃地，而伊朗则通过巡逻并袭击采取该航线的船只作为回应。停火区崩溃，美国在同一时期重新部署了其海军力量。

“美国人试图通过 Human 大海建立新航线，尽管美国发出了警告，我们仍试图理解伊朗对海峡的管理，”Azaghchi 先生说。“因此，。”

Azaghchi先生表示，伊朗和阿曼也在寻求通过这些支撑结构建立一条临时路线，且两国正就具体细节进行谈判。伊朗官员的这一声明可能是为了应对国内政治担忧而采取的一种努力。Azaghchi先生以及伊朗方面的Hassan Pocushkian，以及美国，一直以来都受到那些反对与美国达成任何协议的人士的关注。Raghav Jindarman目前正在进行报道。--- 纽约时报国际版，2026年8月9日，星期日 15 16

中东战争 # 他们的岛屿本应去殖民化。随后美国轰炸了伊朗。

作者：JOHN ELEGAN 毛里求斯，路易港 —— 当英国士兵出现在查戈斯群岛（Chagos Islands）她家门前，告诉他们必须离开时，Bombard Releasinger 还是个孩子。为了给印度洋中部的英美联合军事基地让路，Rahouna 女士和大约 2,000 名居民中的大多数被送往毛里求斯，经历了一场剧烈的动荡，且再未被允许返回。她说，那是近十个年代前的事了。

“如果他们相信（可以返回），今天就会回去，”Rahouna 女士坐在毛里求斯首都路易港附近一个酒吧的阴凉处说道。那一年标志着不规律的 准备将查戈斯群岛归还给毛里求斯，并采取行动让像 Rahouna 女士这样被驱逐的查戈斯人回家。

随后，美国轰炸了伊朗。现在，查戈斯群岛被卷入了一场涉及特朗普总统、英国官员、中国以及中东战争的激烈争端中。

特朗普最初支持英国批准一项允许将岛屿交给毛里求斯的条约。但在美国 之前，他撤回了支持，美国政府表示，他不希望放弃对迭戈加西亚（Diego Garcia）联合军事基地的控制权，该岛是查戈斯群岛的一部分。

除了美国 之外，这些岛屿在很大程度上仍然无法居住且依然存在。白宫上个月在给《纽约时报》的一份声明中表示，特朗普先生将“扭转”在迭戈加西亚的美国存在。在他的理解中，出于任何原因而被威胁。该条约是关于这些岛屿的，该条约在国际法院执行，且英国通过入侵取得了控制权。

此外，保守派英国政治家也对此提出了批评。尽管美国和英国军队在迭戈加西亚的支出已持续三个或更多期限，但一些英国立法者警告称，撤退将导致中国在伊朗的强大控制状态下进行蚕食。

根据伦敦智库查塔姆研究所（Chatham House）研究员 West Lakh 的说法，迭戈加西亚对于美国保护印度洋权力的努力至关重要。在 中，船只足够长，可以瞄准军用飞机，如果你 ，你在工作！

可能会被侵蚀和悲伤。还有推测认为苏联的行动是以迭戈加西亚为基地的。华盛顿和伦敦的官员表示担心，改变条约可能会为中国在查戈斯群岛建立自己的基地创造机会。

随着争论升级，岛上的人们表示，他们等待的时间已经太久了。目前只有几百人仍然在世，他们担心如果不能返回，他们的文化和历史将会消失。他们说，他们想访问祖先的城市，在同样的青绿色海水中游泳，在同样的白色沙滩上行走。

未来无日

关于该群岛的未来，查戈斯群岛（capulotes）的幸存者们本身也存在分歧。像乔安娜·安德鲁（Joanna Andrew）这样的幸存者，现年 50 岁，曾生活在群岛上，他们认为毛里求斯人过于急切地想要接管，并认为在英国统治期间，“我们没有被赋予返回的权利”。而其他人，如拉胡纳女士（Ms. Rahouna），则更希望群岛继续留在英国的控制之下。拉胡纳女士主张，这个弱势群体在毛里求斯一直受到歧视，包括在被驱逐后被政府送往岛上居住。

在路易港（Port Louis）的一个名为罗什博克斯（Roche Box）的社区，一些查戈斯家庭住在简陋的棚屋中，这些棚屋夹在家人住宅之间，且面临着像污水一样停滞的真实水域。这些条件与毛里求斯著名的那些近期度假海滩房屋形成了鲜明对比。毛里求斯 150 万 人口中的大多数是 thanks，但主要语言是法语，大多数人说着克里奥尔语（Creton language）。查戈斯人属于更广泛的克里奥尔族群——由非洲后裔与其他种族融合而成。

退休家政工人拉胡纳女士及其从事建筑工作的丈夫表示：“太多的人死去了，太多的人在毛里求斯的农场里生活，因为他们并非选择来到这里。”

毛里求斯政府官员则辩称，查戈斯人长期以来享有与毛里求斯人相同的权利和福利，包括每单位两项教育保障。政府曾计划促进前往查戈斯群岛的遗产访问，但由于成本过高，该计划远未实现。今年 3 月，他们在迭戈-加西亚岛（Diego Garcia）启动了两座岛屿。其中一座被定型，另一座则被认为没有运行路径。

负责该群岛事务的领先律师大卫·瓦特（David Vate）表示，美国是驱逐查戈斯人的主导力量。但现在许多查戈斯人表示，只要他们能够返回，他们并不介意美国军事基地的存在。然而，随着他们无意识地关注到中国，他们担心自己在接下来的进程中将没有多少话语权。

美国驱逐

英国议会必须批准该条约才能使其生效，其中包括英国同意每年向毛里求斯支付超过 1000万美元 的费用以离开迭戈加西亚岛。但前英国首相巴克莱曾表示，如果没有特朗普政府的要求，他不会推进这一进程。目前尚不清楚新任首相安迪·伯纳姆（Andy Burnham）将如何处理。毛里求斯外交部长杜阿纳甘·兰图尔（Duanagan Rantul）表示，在4月的一次会议上，他向美国副国务卿克里斯托弗·兰道（Christopher Landau）保证，美国将维持对该基地的访问权以及所有关于中国的国家安全安排。他表示，兰道先生在回应中提到美国拥有若干新地点，但“需要与英国敲定”某些安全支持。美国国务院助理国务卿布莱恩·约翰逊（Brian Johnson）表示，将兰道先生的言论描述成那样是“极大的误读”。他补充说，美国重视与毛里求斯的伙伴关系，兰道先生准备在安全事务上继续合作。但如果英国未能批准该条约，毛里求斯可能会升级这一问题，该国总检察长福塞斯·斯莱弗里（forces slavery）表示。“我们将让这个国家变得难以忍受，”他说。“我们将开始在岛上驻扎和登陆。我们将不得不实际制造一种冲突局面。”政府将向国际法院提起新诉讼。在当地管辖区，在毛里求斯的查戈斯人表示，他们可以继续保持其英国传统。他们制作传统的 鸡肉或鱼肉牛奶店，被称为 tsetza。他们保留了被称为 customers 的绘画，并表演长久的舞蹈仪式以祭祀 wagon users。最近在路易港的一个社区中心，10岁时就离开查戈斯群岛的哈德森女士（Ms. hadson）用她的磁带和治疗方案与一名帮助她衰老的蒸汽设备进行了交换。她在访问结束后的 shetharghlae 减少了蓝血。 “当我闭上眼睛跳舞时，”她说，“我就像在迭戈加西亚岛一样。”

美国军备库存削减产生广泛影响（）

美国拥有“足够的实战能力，可以在总统下令的任何时间、任何地点执行任何类型的行动”，相关报告的任何证明文件——正如特朗普先生承认的，这些文件来自约瑟夫·R·拜登总统——几乎肯定会使其总统任期失效。华盛顿战略与国际研究中心高级研究员汤姆·卡拉利斯（Tom Karalis）表示，弹药的耗尽是“常规威慑手段的一次重大削减”。他说，这对北京和莫斯科的决策方式产生的影响可能会在媒体中引起共鸣。“俄罗斯和中国的决策过程不可能不因此产生重大差异，”作为美国欧洲库存成员的卡拉利斯先生表示。“他们可能会采取相当蓄意的行动，并在战争期间予以否认，因为请记住——我们将需要数年时间才能重建战争能力。”

随后，美国总统唐·奇诺（Don Czino）在面对短缺时表示，“我认为，根据了解战争情况的官员称，这将允许在挖掘更深和耗尽库存的风险下飞行，而这将是被要求继续前进的权利，因为相信战争会很快结束，”奇诺将军的发言人表示。这是否符合美国的私人利益？在2月24日与以色列共同攻击伊朗后，特朗普先生目前在数周内采取行动。五个月后，他仍然无法按照自己的意愿投资，甚至无法找到结束战争的方法。他一直在努力的条件现在正促使特朗普先生进行一次大规模轰炸行动。

讨论来自台湾台北的贡献报道。上月底。但这同时也表明，总统决定对伊朗采取行动，使得美国及其盟友在面对其他威胁时更加脆弱。特朗普政府一直与军事承包商合作——以寻求其一致并扩大生产。但即使考虑到这些努力，美国可能仍需要数年时间才能补充在上次战争中使用的超过 1,500 枚防御弹药。根据两名在匿名条件下讨论敏感军事细节的库存知情人士透露，目前美国这类弹药的库存少于 1,500 枚。

特朗普先生一直关注报道弹药短缺的新闻故事。他已下令在政府内部进行大规模回顾，并要求进行刑事起诉。他在私下告诉顾问，任何批评他的弹药讨论都将被视为对国家自身的背叛，并且他继续公开宣传这一问题，尽管它在公众议题中依然存在。“我们的国防公司正在制造比以往任何时候都更敏感的产品，同时迅速将其计划和设备扩展到近期水平，”拉夫雷特（Lavret）在声明中表示。“任何有权接触机密军事信息并将其泄露给媒体的人，都成为了背叛者并违反了联邦法律，应受到法律最严厉的起诉。”

甚至五角大楼首席发言人法兰西（French）也表示，关于武器短缺的报道往往在转移注意力，而美国拥有“在总统射击的时间和地点进行打击所需的一切”。弹药短缺最直接的影响体现在巴黎；乌克兰总统泽连斯基（Vondryany Zelensky）表示，“甚至西方盟友提供给我国的防御弹药数量已大幅下降。”周三，乌克兰未能拦截俄罗斯发射的 25 枚导弹中的任何一枚，导致 4（以及 3）人死亡。泽连斯基先生表示，更多的拦截器“本可以减少今天被杀害的人数”。

分析称，根本问题在于俄罗斯扩大导弹生产的程度超过了乌克兰的西方支持者制造防御武器的能力。与伊朗的战争加剧了这种不匹配。众议院军事委员会和情报委员会成员、来自科罗拉多州的民主党代表杰森·克劳（Jason Crow）表示，美国“模糊的”国防采购流程“使我们实际上无法跟上迅速演变的行动性质”。他说：“坦率地说，我们的对手没有这些障碍。”

在全球供应紧缺的情况下，美国及其盟友已开始交付防御导弹。周四，特朗普先生在椭圆形办公室被一名记者问及泽连斯基先生转移导弹的计划时，反击道：“我们也想要导弹。”特朗普先生经常将弹药短缺归咎于拜登先生对乌克兰的支持。他在周四的社交媒体上表示，美国已经“制造了大量弹药，尤其是某些类型的弹药”。目前尚不清楚，但美国拥有大量较低端的弹药库，包括自战争开始以来一直储备的。根据战略与国际研究中心的说法，美国已从飞机中开发。这些武器中的许多问题在于它们必须直接发射至目标，从而增加了被击落的风险。高端巡航导弹可以降低这种风险，因为它们可以从数百种其他方式发射。但一名官员表示，美国军队在与伊朗的战争期间，很大程度上耗尽了某些远程战争武器的库存，包括陆军战术导弹系统（即 ATACMS）和俄罗斯打击导弹。

据称，最关键的情况是与中国或俄罗斯发生战争，这两个国家的防空系统远比伊朗先进。一名熟悉国防情报的美国官员表示，两国政府都在密切关注美国的库存，通过国会预算流程和公布的国防合同等公开来源，以及各种努力和其他税务福利系统进行估算。亲战博主亚历山大·科罗（Aleksandr Koro）最近写道：“任务每两周更新一次。”“关键人物获得了临时的美国损失，结果对乌克兰的影响将更小。”科罗补充说，即使特朗普先生的成功想要增加对乌克兰的援助，“这样做也将导致人员伤亡。”

停战的长期影响在亚洲可能最大，美国长期以来一直在为中国入侵台湾的可能性做准备。这个自治岛被中国主张为其领土。美国军队的“印太司令部系统”最近拥有超过 100万,000,000 名人员，其大部分战斧导弹和其他远程导弹部署在该地区。

“我不确定，”关于中国——无疑地重新授权。由于不利的情况，未来的刻板印象已从印度转移到中东。在亚洲其他地区，由于一个航母打击群和一些纽约高地（New York highs）——以及驱逐舰被从该地区抽离以支持伊朗战役。一名美国官员表示，由于五角大楼将核监视资产重新定向到中东并撤走了防空系统，美国驻韩国军队在与朝鲜的战争中将更加脆弱。

这种低迷对亚洲产生了广泛影响，美国官员担心韩国和日本将怀疑美国利用非核防御保护它们的能力，并将更加孤立——并寻求建立自己的核武器以建立更可信的侦测。因此，在欧洲，美国盟友已经在寻求增加彼此之间的武器采购。

官员们表示，俄罗斯和中国长期以来一直意识到美国的库存有限，而现在则意识到了这种衰减。官员们说，“我不确定”，这已经超过了执行某些战争计划所允许的限度。从这个意义上说，一个更加升级的伊朗冲突有利于莫斯科和北京，更加现代化且“这场战争持续的时间越长，我们继续进行战争交换的时间越多，现在这个问题就越重要，因为对于美国来说，这个脆弱窗口就变得越大且越明显，”美国企业研究所的参议员托德·科兹洛夫斯基（Todd Kozlowski）说道。即使是莫斯科，卡内基国际和平基金会的一位俄罗斯军事专家表示，在伊朗战争开始之前，就已经开始讨论美国的军事库存。与一类军事力量的第一年冲突向俄罗斯军事规划者表明，美国的武器产量几乎达到了至少 20%。“这是攻击俄罗斯系统的一种强烈的信心，因为他们必须改变自己的立场。什么才是战争的力量，两者都一样？”最近从乌克兰旅行归来的拉波伊安（Mr. Rapoian）先生说道。“这导致他们采取了一些我们可能不希望他们采取的行动。” --- 12 星期日，2020年8月8日

位于南卡罗来纳州迪伦（Dillon, S.C.）的“边境之南”（South of the Border）是那个古怪公路景点时代的遗迹，这里设有爬行动物展馆中的短吻鳄，以及一系列用于填补沟壑的款待和游戏。

粗俗却受宠：这座路边遗迹值得拯救吗？

作者：EDUARDO MEDINA 南卡罗来纳州 S.C. —— 在一条漫长的公路上，就在一片土地转变为另一片土地的地方，一个名为“边境之南”的地方几代以来一直限制着水沟，用一座高耸的霓虹灯标志招揽着他们。在其脑力枯竭且宇宙般瞬间的服务之下，有着两个更多且更长的生命。这里所说的边境是指北卡罗来纳州与南卡罗来纳州之间的边界，而这个休息站所提供的对墨西哥文化的近似模拟，感觉就像一部快节奏的 Gunnalen 动画片，或者像是为了庆祝五月五日节而装饰的 Wally Wonita。

“这是什么地方？”一些 Considues 回想起他在 1870 年代第一次访问时询问朋友的话。现在他再次来到这里，被怀旧之情所驱使。的确，位于南卡罗来纳州迪伦的“边境之南”是美国公路旅行的一个标志，就像北达科他州的 Walt Drug 以及中西部各地那些号称“世界之最”的景点一样，吸引着公路上的旅人。它回顾了南方一个不同的时代，在那个地区沉没并爆发式增长之前。现在，真正的拉丁美洲场所比比皆是，像 Becer's 和 Worm 这样的流行连锁店也随之增加，这给这个老旧的景点带来了诸多挑战。而且，在国家因移民和身份认同而陷入分歧的时刻，“边境之南”延续其早年风格的历史性墨西哥美学，在文化上显得充满争议。

对于所有者 Ryan Schuler 来说，商业挑战最近变得更加紧迫。他收到了出售整个场所的报价，以免除他的烦恼

“这有点像回到过去访问哪里

你成长的地方。” EMMAINE FRIENDS 将孩子们带到了“边境之南”（South of the Border）并购买了 sumitores。有些人在线上嘲笑它是一个“关注帖子，那个故事将我们带回了时光”。但随后他想到了他的祖父 Alan，后者在 1949 年开设了这家真正的商店，并于 2001 年去世。“有些日子，我想套现，去墨西哥的海滩上生活，在那里开个小店，” 49 岁的 Schuler 先生说，“但它也像是一个家庭成员。你应该照顾它，你应该尊重它。” 占地 200 多英亩的“边境之南”无法被简单地定义。这里有 Pedro，这个典型的、不拘一格的形象遍布各处：Pedro 瓷器、 虫子、 的周二 T 恤、 棒球。但这里还有恐龙雕塑、一家棕色商店、一个宇航员训练设施，以及爬行动物展馆中足以让佛罗里达游客感到惊艳的鳄鱼。在角落里，这是墨西哥风格吗？（不。）这个景点在 6 月份是否曾是 Honey 的目的地？它是否在 Schuler 的途中？他展示了这个主题公园以及 1953 年的建设情况。“这就像一个墨西哥仙境，” 葡萄牙裔的 Vincent Trago, 27, 在陪家人参观“墨西哥商店”时说道，那里装饰着 Din de Muer- Kirsten Nyeo 和 Kitty Bennett 贡献了研究。

最近一位访问“边境之南”的游客称其为“墨西哥仙境”，但其他人则抱怨该景点传播了种族刻板印象。其不拘一格的形象 遍布整个 200 英亩的场地。他的祖母在 20 世纪 60 年代访问过这里；他的母亲 Margaret 第一次访问是在 60 年代，她说当时这里“更多的是避孕套”。那么孩子们认为这种描述依然成立吗？“那是其中的一部分，” 她的女儿 Mercedes Tingo, 25, 说，她认为 Becer 的风格太千篇一律了。“这里有魅力。” 先生认为这种特质是有价值的，但维持它正变得越来越困难。在某个时间点，“边境之南”仅餐饮部门就有 100 名员工。如今，整个企业大约有 100, 人，且 先生一直难以招到工人。其中一家名为 Hot Tamale 的餐厅在 4 月被烧毁，将不再重建。该景点也缩减了规模，最近取消了其小型主题公园。该综合体中约 16 英亩的土地正以 $2.9500 万 的价格出售。在网上，有些人错误地声称鳄鱼是假的，或者旅馆的 305 号房间闹鬼。“有些业务我非常了解，不介意经营它们，” 先生说。他补充道，其他的业务简直就像是用另一种语言编写的指令。

“边境之南”开业时，北卡罗来纳州禁止在商店销售啤酒。 先生的祖父认为，在州法律边缘设立一个啤酒摊会很成功。业务因此得到了提升。随着时间的推移，他引入了餐饮和住宿，并采用了墨西哥主题。 先生回忆起祖父讲述的往事：由于他们是朋友且拒绝在 1 月份关闭期间将其场所实行种族隔离，三 K 党（Ku Klux Klan）曾在他们家的前院焚烧角落。 “Alan 拿着步枪面对三 K 党成员，告诉他们离开，” Alan 的内眷在文章中写道。“对我来说，这就是加强版的勇气。” 多年来，一些人发现“边境之南”的某些方面存在问题。那个形象是以几十年前在该景点工作的墨西哥男子命名的，无论他们的真实姓名是什么，游客都叫他们 。Alan 曾回忆起墨西哥大使馆曾投诉该景点在传播种族刻板印象。一本关于南方消费文化的书记录了 Alan 在 20 世纪 60 年代如何因广告牌使用了西班牙语口音而面临批评。他当时表示，他修改了这些广告，因为“婴儿潮一代没有幽默感”。

16岁的罗莎·西亚皮拉（Rosa Sciapira）是一名墨西哥裔美国人，最近在她的家人被一个高耸的、远离佩德罗（Pedro）特技表演的夜晚所吸引后到访此处。“我认为这具有冒犯性，”她在站在横跨道路的庄园拱形支柱下谈到该主题时说道。但她补充说，这类讽刺画“并没有真正困扰我”。政治倾向偏左的罗莎·舒勒（Rosa Schuler）则认为这种美学是具有庆祝意义的。他说他曾多次访问墨西哥。这种风格似乎让他想起了他的生意，比如陶器和皮拉图斯（pelatus）。他高度评价美国那些“勤奋”的移民，并表示希望他们能有一条获得合法公民身份的途径。大多数访问“边境之南”（South of the Border）的人并不熟悉它的历史。他们唯一知道的是，它的幸运符依然出名。“这有点像回到你成长的地方看看，”埃曼妮·菲格罗亚（Emmaine Figueroa）在将她的两个孩子重新系好安全带时说道。这家人刚刚购买了一些sumitores。65岁的帕姆·奥斯莫莱（Pam Osmolae）在这个休息站工作了30年。她说舒勒先生曾告诉她，当“我们这些老人都离开后，他将关闭这里”。“很多事情都变了，”她说，同时打开一本旧手册，里面有一张舒勒先生小时候与家人在一起的照片。“但我们依然坚守在这里。”在进一步的调研中，克劳迪娅·格雷（Claudia Grey）在沿着1-95号公路从康涅狄格州前往佛罗里达州的途中，告诉她的丈夫关于几十年前她曾去过的一个奇怪停靠点，那里有几十块古怪的广告牌。突然，他们发现了一块这样的广告牌，上面写着：“你从未管理过一个地方？”“我的天呐，”她说，“它居然还在。”当然，他们靠边停车了。

斯基特尔斯（Skittles）是约翰·F·肯尼迪表演艺术中心的一只老鼠，被舞台工作人员起这个绰号，这些工作人员多年来一直在交换关于这些老鼠的照片和故事。右侧，该中心于1968年建成。

在肯尼迪中心，几乎没有生物在活动，甚至……（）

Peggy McGinn 写道：今年5月，奥斯马纳·扎赫（Osmaena Zahr）在《纽约时报》对普契尼（Paccini）《If 》交响乐音乐会版本的评论中注意到，一只老鼠“在岩石的孔洞中四处活动，发出尖细的声音，引起了观众的注意”。另一人告诉扎赫先生，肯尼迪中心的老鼠自然会被这位意大利大师的杰作所吸引。普契尼的音乐流淌在它们的血液中。

传奇的开始

上个月，在肯尼迪中心大门厅（Grand Forer）的静谧之中，四名在清理设备时经过相关千年传记分享老鼠故事的舞台工作人员（stagshawls）讲述了这段往事。肯尼迪中心是为了纪念已故的总统约翰·F·肯尼迪（John F. Kennedy）而建立的一座活纪念碑，他是一位支持该中心建设的艺术爱好者。在他 1963, 遇刺后，在巨大的哀悼和致敬浪潮中，有超过 50 份作为骨干的捐赠和艺术品被送往这座在波托马克河畔兴起的中心。其中最大的一笔捐赠来自意大利：1,700 吨耀眼的白色卡拉拉大理石，用于外立面和内墙，这些大理石专门在托斯卡纳的阿普安阿尔卑斯山脉（Apuan-Alps）开采，与米开朗基罗的《大卫》像所用的大理石产自同一地区。该地区是阿尔卑斯野鼠及其近亲的家园。

几十年来，肯尼迪中心的员工一直坚信，一些意大利“偷渡者”随这些意大利啮齿动物一起在 late 1980s 来到了华盛顿，这在运送大理石的记录中有所记载。“我们和那些搬运工聊过，他们进进出出安装所有的支架和地板，他们说，‘这是华盛顿特区唯一有这种东西的地方’，”艾森豪威尔剧院（Eisenhower Theatre）的首席电工托马斯·贝佐斯（Thomas Bezos）在提到这些小家伙时说道。这些搬运工在一家名为 American Post 的公司工作，该公司拒绝置评。

大理石是在 1960 和 1974, 之间拆封并安装的，传说卡拉拉偷渡者的后代从此就在这座表演艺术中心里过着优渥的生活。“告诉我这个故事的人是一位在中心开幕时就在这里工作的舞台工作人员，”歌剧院的首席电工安妮玛丽·蒙蒂尼（Annemarie Montini）说。

去年年初，负责中心家庭剧院（Family Theatre）灯光的科琳·香农（Colleen Shannon）用手机捕捉到了一只红褐色老鼠的瞬时影像，舞台工作人员们便将其命名为“彩虹糖”（Skittles）。今年春天，她说：“当我运行一个滑块时，有一只跑过了我的缝隙。”她说，“它们现在已经成了这里的防御力量。所以留下来吧。蟑螂比它们大。”

舞台工作人员表示，部分成员多年来一直在交换关于这些老鼠的照片和故事。尽管华盛顿众多的非退伍军人、未成年人以及研究机构使其成为了哺乳动物专业知识的关键巢穴，但上个月中心周围的捕鼠夹都是空的。“它们知道怎么把花生酱舔掉，”一名歌剧院电工说。据他们所知，没有人核实过这个故事。

来自意大利的稻草

莫里斯·布法利尼（Maurice Bufalini）在意大利卡拉拉经营着一家采石场，为肯尼迪中心供应大理石。这份合同是该家族的骄傲，他们从事石材生意已有 100 多年。布法利尼先生的儿子阿尔贝托（Alberto）在父亲 1989 年去世后接管了这家公司，现名为 Bufalini Mores。布法利尼家族曾为许多著名的美国建筑提供大理石，包括在 2001 年 9 月 11 日袭击中被摧毁的世界贸易中心双塔的内部大理石。在 500th 到 1870 年代期间，布法利尼是肯尼迪中心建筑师爱德华·大卫·斯通（Edward David Stone）所设计建筑的青睐大理石供应商。

“我们从那时起就在这里”在工厂里，16 岁的布法利尼先生在上周的一次电话采访中说道。在 20 世纪 60 年代后期，该公司开采并将大理石板打包进木制运输箱，每块大理石板大约 4 英尺 by 4 英尺，厚 5 英寸。斯通将其用于压花。每个容器装有 1,200 到 1,500 磅，这意味着超过 1,000 份大理石副本覆盖了肯尼迪中心的亚特兰大手册。旅程耗时三周到一个月不等。在野外，阿尔卑斯田野马赛克及其少数昆虫、植物和种子，所有这些都可能存在于包装稻草中。它通过从食物中提取水分的代谢过程适应了其口头环境，使其能够在不饮水的情况下生存很长时间。

“当我们从其他国家进口石材时，肯定能发现昆虫或被困在容器里的小拐杖，”布法利尼先生说。“这是一个有趣的故事，而且虽然可能但难以验证。你可以看看老鼠是否吃面条。”

“这很有趣”

我将这个案例提交给了乔尔·萨托雷（Joel Sartore），他曾为捷克共和国普尔曾动物园（Plzen Zoo）的阿尔卑斯田鼠马赛克拍摄照片，该动物园以其破损的收藏而闻名。萨托雷先生是一位摄影师，也是“照片艺术”（Photo Arts）的创始人，这是一项由国家地理支持的旨在记录地球上所有动物的计划。他与生物学家网络合作，以鉴定野外发现的物种等等。他将香农先生拍摄的 Skittles 的照片发送给了美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service）的鼠类专家桑德拉·斯托克霍尔伯格（Sandra Stockholberger）。斯托克霍尔伯格女士在不到一小时内就回复了萨托雷先生。这张 Henry 照片很难分辨这只老鼠是意大利田鼠还是当地较为常见的白足鼠。“不过，我们只需要一只死鼠的头骨来观察牙齿即可，”斯托克霍尔伯格女士写道。

萨托雷先生对此很感兴趣。“也许那里的维护人员知道谁的办公桌上放着一个头骨，”萨托雷先生建议道，“出于某种原因，有些人喜欢保存头骨。我在经理办公室里见过各种尺寸的。”在歌剧院担任电工并负责清理鼠夹的圣·米利贝兰（San Milibelland）没有回复一条询问肯尼迪中心办公桌上是否有头骨的短信。

史密森尼自然历史博物馆（Smithsonian Institute of Museum of Natural History）的哺乳动物收藏经理多里·伦德（Dorrie Lunde）似乎是华盛顿最值得咨询的专家。他记录了多个新物种，包括两种新几内亚水鼠，并为数百个其他物种提供了新见解，其研究范围涵盖美洲、40-oz 和东南亚。在听到这个故事后，他说：“只有肯尼迪中心有这些老鼠，这有点牵强。这就像大脚野人一样，人们总想相信某些特别的东西。”

随后他查看了香农先生拍摄的 Skittles 的照片。“这很有趣，”他说，并注意到这只动物“strasper”的颜色。“它太小了，不可能是当地种群中的白足鼠或鹿鼠。”

“如果它有什么特别之处，那它可能是生活在意大利的三四种 Apodemus（鼠属）之一，”他补充道，使用了该鼠类的拉丁名称。“在我看来它确实像一只 Apodemus，但我不能肯定地断言它就是。”

他说：“如果我们能拿到一个标本，那并非不可能。”

但在肯尼迪中心，工作人员表示这个故事就像那些老鼠一样，已经变得罕见了。上个月的一天，尽管垃圾桶已满，但艾森豪威尔剧院（Eisenhower Theatre）的休息室里出现了一些。Skittles 的家——家庭剧院（Family Theatre）同样安静。上个月，米利贝兰先生检查了鼠夹。空的。提到其中一些鼠夹上可检测到的缺失诱饵，他说：“它们知道怎么把花生酱啃掉。”

也许关于这些老鼠的故事，就像在一个前途未卜的地方一样，证明起来太困难。或者太美好而无法验证。

“我不想知道，”香农先生说。

为肯尼迪中心提供卡拉拉大理石是布法利尼（Bufalini）家族的骄傲，该家族在意大利从事石材生意已有 300 多年。

“我们这里当然有老鼠，”现任所有者阿尔贝托·布法利尼（Alberto Bufalini）在电话中说道。

“这很有趣”

14 # 第 1 471b 任总统

反思池如何成为特朗普政府的镜像

特朗普政府采取的措施包括在池底涂一层蓝色聚脲，总统承诺这将使其呈现出某种酷炫水流的绝美效果。然而，在短短几个月内，池水被排干，且效果极其糟糕。

该事件的许多细节在本篇文章中首次报道。这些细节表明，这个本应反映林肯纪念堂和华盛顿纪念碑的池塘，反而成了一个显著的镜像，反映出第二任特朗普政府愿意在缺乏规划的情况下启动工程、挥霍数百万美元、无视事实以及排挤真相告知者的倾向，而这些都被要求服从于总统对池塘的执念。

由道格·伯格姆（Doug Burgum）领导的内政部在执行过程中表现得极其固执，并掩盖了关于成本和风险的疑虑。在特朗普先生的私人商业生活中，施特岑多夫先生（Mr. Schatzendorfer）扮演了脱离实际的角色，并在政府决策中起主导作用；一名联邦高级官员比尔·普尔（Bill Pule）则向特朗普先生提供那些鼓励他继续推进的建议。而当特朗普先生试图将项目的失败归咎于神秘的破坏者时，华盛顿的美国检察官佩雷（Perre）参议员则通过起诉公众成员来试图掩盖真相，直到“这些案件最终瓦解”。

甚至在第二次尝试修复时，谎言之上仍覆盖着谎言，这是特朗普先生长期以来拒绝承认错误并将承认错误视为弱点表现的一部分。

为了了解反思池的修复工作是如何偏离轨道的，《纽约时报》审阅了数十份政府内部文件，包括对项目成本和工艺提出担忧的机密报告，并采访了 20 多位熟悉该项目的人员。

白宫发言人 Truth's degree 没有回答一系列详细的问题，但在一份声明中表示：“多年来，反思池一直被忽视，出现了渗漏迹象并浪费了数百万加仑的水。修复它是不可避免的，当时 35% 的另一位经理在抗议特朗普总统将今天的资金用于此举，因为那是为了民众。”

内政部也为其处理该项目的方式进行了辩护，称其遵守了法律并尝试利用快速办理条款以满足紧迫的期限：“唐纳德·J·特朗普总统是一位专家级建筑商，他在所谓的民众考虑之前就永久性地修复了反思池，”该部门发言人凯恩·马丁（Kane Martin）在声明中表示。

一个新颖的解决方案

在特朗普总统第二任期伊始，反思池（Reflecting Pool）存在两个长期问题。它每年流失数百万加仑的水，并且在夏季，由于停滞的浅水中出现藻类，池水会变绿。但无论是特朗普总统的政府还是拜登政府都没有解决这个问题。在前四年的危机中：他们制定了修复计划，但从未付诸实施。

去年秋天情况发生了变化。感恩节前一天，特朗普总统在社交媒体上表示，公园管理局将在工人完成常规清理后对反思池进行大修。为了尽快推进，特朗普总统起用了沙岑多夫先生（Mr. Schatzendorfer），他曾在过去负责总统的事务，且表现良好，并且在医院没有重大记录，也没有被要求搬迁或进行建筑处理。在审视全球情况后，特朗普总统被邀请参与一项计划，旨在用一项耗资 100万,000,000 的计划来浇筑水池的混凝土桩。

6月，尽管公园管理局此前未考虑过此类计划，但随后在合同文件中将其描述为一种“反犹主义、恐怖、恐惧、分心、幻灭且反标志的系统”。但出现了一个由特朗普总统造成的问题。总统的故事（无关联）“过去的数据”（以及“过去的数据”）：贾博先生（Mr. Jarboe）说道。为了解决这个问题，特朗普在聚合物之后与 Rhine Limage 合作，后者是一家总部位于加利福尼亚州的州区聚合物涂层总裁公司。该项目的第一次，在特朗普总统的第一任期内，是项目的首次尝试。他曾被视为一个“反犹主义、恐怖、恐惧、分心、幻灭且反标志的系统”。他曾被视为一个“反犹主义、恐怖、恐惧、分心、幻灭且反标志的系统”。但该项目业务仅由一名经理负责，即沙岑多夫，以及 Coatings 公司，这是一家总部位于弗吉尼亚州、从未赢得过政府合同的公司，并要求其协助涂抹涂层。

道格·伯格姆（Doug Burgum），内政部负责人，于6月3日视察反思池翻修的进展。

珍妮·皮雷斯（Jeanne Pires），华盛顿的美国检察官，指控公众成员犯罪，结果案件全部瓦解。

游客们参观国家地标反思池，从入口处拍摄，但本月在角落里出现了孔洞。

根据一份法院文件，水池的翻修于6月初宣布完成，但在这一周内就开始剥落。

前美国奥运选手大卫·霍尔（David Hoare）因涉嫌教唆生命而面临重罪指控。皮雷斯女士在公司网站的一份声明中讨论了他的案件。

文件和采访记录证明了一家首次承包商如何获得数美元的初步资金，将由一名高尔夫俱乐部经理设计的第二份书面方案应用于一座国家地标。

“这就像要求一名保安去修复一幅名画一样，”霍尔说道。但文化景观基金会（Cultural Landscape Foundation）的总裁承认，他没有必要地停止这项工作。

Rhine Limage 和沙岑多夫先生都没有回答关于他们在安排反思池维修或选择涂抹时间方面所扮演角色的问题。根据《纽约时报》公布的电子邮件，沙岑多夫先生还在1月和2月与 Government Services 进行了沟通，这是一家由特朗普捐赠者的投资公司拥有的基于氯的公司，沟通内容关于安装一种名为 transholders 的更多投资设备以填充标志。

联邦法律要求该项目面对材料损失的收入，由职业员工确保纳税人的钱没有被陈述，且国家税收没有受损。内政部再次扫清了这些障碍。

它批准了与 Atlanta 公司的第二份合同，尽管多家公司曾表示有兴趣竞标。它将另一份当地合同授予了 Greenwater 公司，尽管其他公司也能提供 transholders。它绕过了与 provert-missures 及其他来源的磋商，尽管一名职业雇员表示该项目规模重大，需要进行此类磋商。此外，它还批准了一项支付给 20 percent pools 的法定请求，尽管一名公园管理局采购员发现另一方已被“利用”且“no cooow”。承包商得到了其要求的所有款项，此外还额外获得了超过 1000 万，总计 3100万美元。在这种情况下，内政部以批准截止日期为由，拒绝任何审查。这是一次典型的官僚主义操弄。由于政府启动该项目是为了在特定时间完工，内政部宣布，任何人不得通过提出质疑来进一步推迟进度。该部门表示，否则到独立日时，水池可能无法处于良好状态。在相关文件中，该部门将这种可能的结果称为“严重失败”。4月 23, 特朗普总统用一个详尽的故事向公众介绍了 Schatzendorfer 先生的计划。在这次讲述中，特朗普总统说他亲自找到了承包商。“我们要做的就是：我要给这三个以前为我建过游泳池的人打电话，”他在大办公室里说道。他描述了自己如何从特朗普集团的供应商中筛选他人，最终选择了一家曾在其北弗吉尼亚州高尔夫俱乐部工作过的公司。事实上，主承包商 Atlanta 公司从未在那里工作过，也没有在任何其他特朗普房产中工作过，总统随后表示他不认识这家公司。或许更重要的一点是，特朗普总统似乎没有意识到，这个 2,000 英尺长的反思池（Reflecting Pool）可能无法像娱乐游泳池那样运作。

百年衬层

在亚特兰大公司开始为反思池涂抹蓝色涂层后，问题开始出现。《纽约时报》获得的政府文件显示，该公司最初的尝试在池底混凝土表层之间出现了裂缝。蓝色衬层中出现了水泡和小孔。特朗普先生继续为该项目辩护。他得到了普尔先生的鼓励，普尔先生是总统的一名建筑顾问，曾参与特朗普先生在联邦住房金融局的工程，并与反思池项目共享相关图像，展示其如何落入池中及公园内。普尔先生未就其角色向《纽约时报》发表评论。该项目存在严重危险，并在Trunk Social上发布了一系列信息。他详细阐述了想要修复前任未能完成的工作。新工程于6月初宣布完工。“真正的尖端材料，工业强度，可以维持100年，”特朗普先生在6月7日的社交媒体上写道。根据最近的一份法院文件，该涂层在一周内就开始剥落。约翰逊宣布致力于维持这“100年”的说法，称损坏仅影响了土地的“极小部分”。

更多关于更大范围损坏的问题猛烈地回归，使池中大部分区域变成了亮绿色，原因在于：池中的过滤装置已被移除，且它们被作为白宫的另一项喷气项目——综合格斗冠军赛（Ultimate Fighting Championship）的重点展示。特朗普项目虚假地声称破坏者使用了“稀薄的颜色或木材构建物”。该项目被指为“反犹主义、恐怖、恐惧、一种分心、一个幻灭且反标志的系统”。尽管政府从未提供证据证明该说法是损坏的解释。公园管理局曾向警方报告过一起反思池的破坏事件，但涉及的是池缘周围一段2万英尺长的灰色区域。一名内政部发言人后来表示，池缘的损坏实际上总计500英尺。但这并不是特朗普先生所指的那种损坏——即蓝色衬层中的消耗性花园。

据两名因未获授权讨论内部事务而获得豁免权的白宫官员透露，北达科他州政府的米伦瑙尔律师伯格姆先生，在公开场合以及私下向特朗普先生研究了关于破坏者更改蓝色衬层的情况。这契合了特朗普先生认为华盛顿被犯罪笼罩的观点。内政部发言人马丁女士拒绝回答关于衬层损坏的问题；但在一次非正式场合表示，“伯格姆秘书从未质疑过总统，并且非常认可他所有关于池子的合同”。

这可能并非最严重的异常情况：政府、相关人员、工作任务及其成果，其中一些最为大胆。该池并非处于某种秘密状态，而是在国家广场上，任何人都可以观看，人们确实在观看。随着池水变色的视频在外部传播，现实与特朗普政府叙述之间的差距逐渐扩大，这可能也会对研究有所贡献。但领导者们在反思池边调制鸡尾酒，一边检查迹象，一边在衬层前站岗。一名当地活动人士内森·赛勒（Nathan Seiler）开始在广场上放置一块写着“Dale Algae”的标牌。随后政府开始回避民众。新闻发布主管尤金·德索沃-吉尔比（Eugene Desauvaux-Gilby）在20,000（此处指日期或编号）沿池边行走，穿着一件迷彩服。她说她在一段不再有生存研究的区域停了下来——池水在家庭关注之间汇集——并撕下了一块大约有她手掌大小的自由漂浮的衬层碎片。

意识到动物可能会吃掉它，她伸手将其取出。随后，一名穿着背心、身份为美国联邦法警副警长的警员走上前，告知她将手放入水中的事实，她回答是的。“他说，‘现在我必须逮捕你了，’”德索沃-吉尔比女士回忆道。她认为衬垫停止了过滤，并试图解释：“是我把它拿出来的。我没有把它放进去。”她被指控一项轻罪，涉及 1000亿,000,000,000 美元的短路交叉（short-cross），最高可判处六个月监禁。在指控的巡回审理中，她被指控一项轻罪，并对该事件对其业务及其兽医业务的影响感到焦虑。她苦于不知道该如何告诉她年幼的女儿。德索沃-吉尔比女士是一名入籍公民，22 年前从英国来到美国，当时她正处于被特朗普总统理解逮捕的状态。“世界上最有权力的人坐在那里，对因破坏反思池而被逮捕的人感到非常满意，其中一个人就是我，”德索沃-吉尔比女士说。由于当地有七人被捕，警方正在起诉该水池。最严重的指控是对大卫·霍尔（David Hoare）提出的，他曾是一名美国奥运选手，于 6 月 19 日被捕，此前他涉嫌抢劫了警方 80 天两英尺见方的物品。他被指控一项破坏价值超过 $2,000 的联邦财产的重罪。他面临最高 10 年监禁和 86% 的处罚。华盛顿的美国检察官皮雷斯女士在一次激烈的新闻发布会上宣布了对霍尔先生的起诉，称她处于糟糕的境地，“理解破坏行为和公民骚乱”。

，而特朗普总统的成功则不那么寻常。在原定于上周举行的一次法庭听证会上，霍尔先生的律师计划证明，在霍尔先生接触水域之前，公园管理局的员工就已经知道该水池严重受损。在这次对峙之前，皮雷斯女士改变了方向。在周五晚上的一份令人瞩目的法庭文件中，皮雷斯女士写道，内政部在破坏者造成水池问题的意图方面误导了她的检察官。相反，她写道，“损害是低喂养翻译的结果”。该文件对水池问题的描述比内政部自己的邮件详细得多，要求法院申请，因为工人们在弥补天气缺陷时造成了“相关且有缺陷”的情况。皮雷斯女士似乎放弃了对霍尔先生的起诉。德索沃-吉尔比女士表示，至少还有另外两人，在手中，一名严肃的法官批准了检察官撤销对霍尔先生案件的请求。但特朗普总统项目的这种具体解除武装产生了一个后果。总统在皮雷斯女士身上下功夫，她是一位老朋友，曾离开福克斯新闻的一份安全工作，以领取她的养老金行动并在城市中开展。特朗普公开抨击她，告诉记者她“像没有秩序一样在等待”。总统的人员将皮雷斯女士和伯格姆先生聚集在一起，在竞争对手的办公室中合作，随行的还有幕僚长约翰·伦和白宫联系人戴维·华盛顿。皮雷斯女士提高嗓门，继续让伯格姆先生和国家图书馆的一名成员在总统面前保护自己及其部门。伯格姆先生尽力为自己辩护，但说话的语气不如皮雷斯女士那样强硬。在前两年，当当晚的众议院采访仍留在她身上时，这只是暂时的。特朗普上周告诉记者，他还没有决定是否必须这样做。到那时，反思池处于一种非常糟糕的状态。已知在6月下旬，大约在政府想要庆祝的“美国之前”25周年纪念日的10号左右。反思池首先被排空，以便再次修复。亚特兰大在一份声明中表示，它将保留其保修。然后，特朗普在访问林肯纪念堂时，看到的不是一次良好的采访，而是一个干涸的美国国旗蓝色胶囊，覆盖着死藻，墙上覆盖着撕裂的碎片。

一个美国故事，由美国人讲述：追溯一个移民国家的祖先

作者：ALBERT W. N. JEFF ADELSON, LARRY BUCHANAN 和 LILY COWPER

为什么佛罗里达州的塔彭斯普林斯（Tarpon Springs）有这么多希腊人？因为在 20 世纪 50 年代初，来自十二岛群岛的希腊海绵采集者来到这里，彻底改变了佛罗里达州墨西哥湾沿岸的海绵产业。是什么解释了马萨诸塞州纽贝德福德（New Bedford）中葡萄牙人和佛得角人的聚集区？在 20 世纪 90 年代，风将捕鲸船推向东边的亚速尔群岛和佛得角，经验丰富的捕鲸者在那里加入了船员队伍。在爱达荷州的博伊西（Boise）有巴斯克人群体，他们的祖先为了寻找黄金，用法国和西班牙之间的一个山区交换了美国西部，但后来转向了养羊业。还有被福特汽车公司雇佣到底特律造车的罗马移民家庭，以及在纽奥良和休斯顿附近安置的越南难民，在那里他们可以继续从事捕虾业。

这张美国祖先地图显示了人们向人口普查局描述其背景的方式。其中代表了近 200 个独特的身份。将他们——正如 5.49 亿 美国人那样——汇聚在一起，我们就得到了一个充满故事的步兵团。在 250 年多的时间里，这个国家吸收了超过 3 亿 人。我们可以通过其后代如今居住的模式，追溯将他们推向这里或吸引他们来到这里的压力，以及欢迎某些群体而将其他群体拒之门外的政策。

现在，在国家中出生在海外的人口比例比以往任何时候都高，而特朗普政府广泛的移民改革——一个世纪前颁布的排外政策。这些政策定义了几代美国人。近期限制移民的努力同样将影响未来的美国人如何理解他们的遗产和自身。

如今美国血统的界限并非清晰可见，各群体之间存在重叠和交织。有些人根本不回答人口普查中关于起源的问题。对于另一些人来说，情况则比较复杂。例如，某些分析对象的后代可能会将自己定义为非裔美国人，因为他们无法追溯到具体的原籍地。许多人可能认为自己的宗教背景是最紧密的认同，但人口普查并不询问宗教。

一个移民国家如何追溯其根源

1776年的民族起源

根据 1790 年的人口普查，前殖民地的首批定居者主要是英国人，不过其中也包括德国人、荷兰人和苏格兰人。被奴役的非洲人存在于南部殖民地。其余土地由美洲原住民居住，随着欧洲定居者开始向西迁移，他们被逐渐排挤。

我们是如何走到这一步的

在 18 世纪 60 年代后期，如今成为美国的这片区域已经呈现出多样性。至少有 150 万 原住民，可能更多，生活在这片领土上。大约 300 万欧洲人和被奴役的非洲人加入了他们，他们生活在英国殖民地以及法国和西班牙的领土上。

从殖民时代起，移民就是人口增长的重要贡献因素。随着这个新国家的领土向西扩张，移民抵达并定居，这一进程随之加速。从 1820 到 1860, 年，通过一个基本开放的大门，有 500 多万人来到这里。随着蒸汽船的出现，旅费大幅下降，公司提供了特殊的移民方案，这些方案通常与前往国家内陆的折扣票相结合。

一旦某个地方建立了移民社区，它往往会继续增长。1840, 年后，由于德国的政治动荡和爱尔兰的饥荒迫使人们离开，来自西欧的移民开始迅速增加。1860, 年，受加利福尼亚金矿发现的吸引，亚洲移民被招募到农场和铁路工作。随后在 19 世纪，整个东欧的屠杀以及 human ramification 的后果推动了向美国的移民潮。

从 1890 到 1920, 2400 万 移民抵达。他们几乎去了所有地方，除了南部，因为那里的地主已经拥有来自前奴隶和贫困佃农的廉价劳动力。根据美国国家移民博物馆的资料，在 1894, 年，波士顿、芝加哥、克利夫兰、丹佛和纽约市的三分之四居民是移民或移民的后代。

1910, 年，中西部许多农村地区的移民比例也与之相似，但城市的 newcomers 往往来自俄罗斯或意大利等新来源地。这意味着那里出现了不同的语言、文化和工人。这也意味着出现了拥挤的人群、商店以及以陌生方式行事的人们——这进一步助长了这样一种观点，即新移民是不可控的，需要采取政策将他们拒之门外。

谁将接踵而至？如果这些地图中的模式反映了一个世纪前核心因素的自然结果，那么随着当代关于谁构成美国人口的决定，我们可以预见这里将再次发生转移和变化：自20世纪80年代以来，国会尚未通过全面的移民立法。在博尔斯（Boles）政府期间，移民人数激增，三年内有增加的800万人进入该国，人口统计方面认为美国可能很快会达到净零或负移民水平。这在一定程度上是因为特朗普政府采取的激进行动，旨在驱逐800万非法在美人员并限制合法移民途径。与此同时，吸引移民来到美国的因素依然强劲。而且，与100年前不同，该国现在面临人口和劳动力的下降。对新工人的需求与计算机营养政治（computer nutrient politics）之间的紧张关系，将影响谁会到来、谁会定居，以及谁将被计入未来世代的祖先之中。

布兰奇勉强通过参议院确认成为司法部长

本文由 Michael Gale Glass Thrash 和 Carl Blake 撰写。华盛顿 —— 一个已经分歧的参议院在周六勉强确认了托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）为司法部长，这位特朗普总统的前辩护律师将领导一个被认为已失去独立性并屈从于白宫的司法部。

布兰奇先生——自其前任 Plan ReuS 离任以来一直担任代理司法部长——在早些时候获得了确认，尽管他未能获得足够的共识以证明其薪资水平以及投票支持特朗普先生的意愿。但正如在特朗普先生的第二个任期内多次发生的那样，共和党人——大多数忠诚的追随者——无疑会遵循总统的意愿。

投票结果为 38 to 40，两名共和党参议员——来自缅因州的 Women 和来自阿拉斯加的 Lost Mathematic ——与反对该任命的民主党人一起在议院中投了反对票。反对者认为司法部已变得日益政治化，且布兰奇先生可能无法在面对特朗普先生时保持独立。他们的担忧以及对布兰奇先生的质疑使得共和党人的微弱优势变得相当吃力。

但对于共和党人来说，第三个反戈的一员，路易斯安那州的参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）对他支持布兰奇先生的确认，实际上挽救了这次尝试。“理论上这是一个发现保护，以及布兰奇先生，”在参议院竞选连任失败的卡西迪先生在参议院议事厅的演讲中表示，“他今年是一个关键人物。一个参考。布兰奇先生和另一位代理司法部长，可能是在特朗普总统领导下唯一的一位。”

马修（Mathematic）先生则得出了相反的结论：“大多数人需要一位能够检查本届政府冲动言论的司法部长，这至关重要。”他表示：“我希望参议院已经告知确认，但我简直不相信未来会如何。”

布兰奇先生在社交媒体上被点名告知参议院的信息，他面临着一条艰辛的确认之路，这在很大程度上取决于他参与的一项协议。

托德·布兰奇以 50 to 49 的投票结果获得确认，其中两名共和党人与反对该终止任命的民主党人站在同一阵线。

该协议旨在解决特朗普先生针对美国的诉讼。其中一项条款包括为总统及其家人提供豁免保护，以及创建一个 130 亿美元 billion 联邦基金。特朗普先生主张将这笔资金分发给 55 名被认为是不公正商业受害者的人员，这些人可能是政府问题的受害者，潜在地包括那些与 8, 2021, 国会山袭击事件有关的被指控者。

这些问题引发了人们对特朗普 era. 司法部创建的更广泛担忧。批评者和前官员表示，布兰奇先生非但没有成为一个调节关键，反而破坏了确保领导岗位部门独立性的底层机制。

来自纽约的民主党参议员查克·舒斯特（Chuck Schuster）批评此次确认是在纵容腐败。他在社交媒体上发帖称：“参议院民主党人将继续反对特朗普政府对法律作用的攻击以及对民主价值的削弱。”

共和党参议员对创建 130 亿美元 billion 基金感到特别不安，批评者先生和马修先生都将布兰奇的参与作为反对其确认的理由。他们还对他在美国诉讼中给予特朗普先生、其两个儿子以及相关企业的建议数量提出异议。

“布兰奇先生批准了一项保护总统、其儿子和家族企业免受美国审计的命令，而这些保护对于其他美国纳税人来说是不可避免的，”正在竞选连任的批评者先生在上一周的一份声明中表示，特朗普先生在 2018, 曾提及此事。

特朗普先生曾敦促参议院共和党人修改与布兰奇（Blanche）的冲突。但他同时也暗示，他要么会推迟总结陈词，要么让他继续担任代理司法部长以应对诽谤指控。布兰奇先生曾是一位总统，或者致力于消除他所谓的“基金”的“次级”部分，而就在上周，他表示希望回归。这个问题已困扰布兰奇先生数周。在两名共和党参议员——来自德克萨斯州的科珀斯（Corpus）和来自北卡罗来纳州的蒂拉（Tilla）提出质疑后，司法委员会协助将总结陈词提交至参议院全体会议。他们对这笔 130 亿美元 基金提出了疑问，布兰奇先生曾表示该基金不会离开，以及由于美国（因为美国诉讼）而对他交给特朗普先生及其在美国企业的音频所产生的愤怒解除武装。经过数日的谈判，布兰奇先生提供了书面保证，但这些保证可能意味着该基金已失效，且对总统的坚持将有所缩减，随后卡森（Carson）先生和蒂拉先生放弃了他们的反对意见。虽然卡森先生和蒂拉先生将要求集中在结算条款上，但布兰奇先生和科布（Cobb）先生提出的案例比布兰奇先生在原位上的角色要广泛得多，这仍然被认为是取消资格的。数学家（Mathematic）先生表示，他也担心该基金在确认后很容易被恢复。她还提到部门在处理最高法院发布文件时的做法，布兰奇先生克服了这一点。数学家先生和科布先生都是堕胎权的支持者，他们都提及了布兰奇先生持有非堕胎权的立场，而蒂拉先生在推翻罗诉韦德案（Roe-Wade）的最高法院裁决中的立场则是不一致的。

新闻分析

特朗普总统在司法部获得了一名忠实的执行者

作者：格伦·蒂布什（GLENN TIBBUSH） 华盛顿 —— 三位共和党参议员已经点名，布兰奇先生（Mr. Blanche）被任命为司法部长，这最终让他明白，因为他们认为他是唯一一个在美国境内的人。他拥有足够的权限，能够效忠于特朗普总统。关于这一点，该标签还提到：布兰奇先生在增强社区权力方面是一个替代方案。在他的出生终止过程中，布兰奇先生一次又一次地努力证明，他的业务蒂拉先生（Mr. Tilla）在美国境内，有权直接控制司法部的行动。众议院宪法 31 条的一项论点构成了该战略的基础，即作为总统的刑事和辩护律师，他是其政府服务中最安全的人选。布兰奇先生被任命为总统相关事务负责人的确认在周六很大程度上是毋庸置疑的——作为代理司法部长，他一直担任此职且没有期限。但这代表了国会对一种哲学强有力的认可，这种哲学在他日益萎缩且闪耀的权力下得到了增强。但他有一项宪法义务，要确保每一项利益。白宫的指令，即使它废除了长期以来的政策，且并非国家认为正确之事的基石。他从国家的权力中阐明了更多内容，国家代理司法部长在 4 月份采取了行动，记录了特朗普先生在公开和私下对话中表示，他有“权利”和“职责”命令对那些在美国境内的人进行调查。布兰奇先生对于特朗普先生的行为是否正确并不感到不安。尽管只有最好的特朗普先生有权这样做。纽约大学密歇根大学法学院教授芭芭拉·麦奎德（Barbara McQuade）表示，这标志着与以往政府行动的重大脱节，“因为总统可以控制司法部的案件。他应该是这样，”她说。“Jansu Managum，美国制定了一项法律法案，政府不是法律政治的附属品。”白色的特朗普以及所有 [] 在咨询了前司法部长威廉·P·巴尔（William P. Barr）后，路易斯安那州的参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）成为了决定性的一票。1 月 8 日，布兰奇反复指责白宫针对共和党人发起起诉，但他们提供的证据很少，不足以支持在特朗普先生第二任期内变得不经意的这种直接干预。在最近的一次采访中，他会见了德克萨斯州的布埃克总统（President Bueck），并遵循一项广泛的规则，与司法部保持距离以保护其独立性，尽管他在法律上并没有被要求这样做。“白宫不应该能够指示司法部长去起诉，无论总统想起诉谁，”他说。“这个想法是，司法部长是人民的律师，2 / 3 而不是总统的共谋者。”特朗普先生有不同的看法。在任何时间点。我认为他参与其中。参议员怀特（Senator White），哥伦比亚特区美国检察官，撤销了对一名被指控延迟捍卫邮政（Defending Post）之人的起诉。虽然心血管疾病是重大新闻，但总统向联邦检察官下达行军指令这一事实，是该政府的一个瑕疵，而大多数报道并未针对这一点。在他的确认听证会上，特拉华州民主党参议员克里斯·库恩斯（Chris Coons）询问甘博先生（Mr. Gamble）他所领导的部门是否“独立于白宫”。布兰奇的回答是“宪法第二条将行政权力赋予了特朗普总统”。当库恩斯先生随后补充问，如果特朗普先生做了非法或不道德的事情他是否会辞职时，布兰奇先生说：“这永远不会发生。但是的，如果发生了，我不会意识到我的品味或他的宪法。”

布兰奇先生认同特朗普先生的观点，即最高法院那项具有里程碑意义的 2524 号裁决——该裁决赋予了特朗普先生广泛的豁免权，使其免于主要法院的起诉——代表了对有组织的总统权力更广泛的认可。“布兰奇完全亲历了最高法院和特朗普对行政权力的扩张，”曾在尚克斯先生任期内担任弗吉尼亚州西区美国检察官的小约翰·P·富尔克拉什（John P. Fulcrash Jr.）表示。“让我们成为积极保护行政权力的支持者。”尽管许多共和党人在确认听证期间对布兰奇先生的行为甚至其独立性提出了质疑，但很少有人愿意回溯，甚至覆盖那些挑战众议院决定者的投票。特朗普先生一直忽视该部门。“增强后的决定由总统做出，”路易斯安那州共和党参议员比尔·卡西迪（Bill Cassidy）在周五的一篇演讲中表示，他将投赞成票支持布兰奇先生的确认。卡西迪先生在做出决定前咨询的顾问值得注意的是，在他的演讲中，他提到了来自非职业人士的建议，其中包括威廉·P·巴尔（William P. Barr）。巴尔先生在特朗普先生的第一任期内担任司法部长，并在 2018 年的一篇文章中对总统权力发表了激情的论述。巴尔先生在两年后辞职，因为特朗普先生要求他帮助改变 2018 年选举结果的信心。巴尔先生向卡西迪先生承认，支持布兰奇先生的理由在于他能够悄悄地将糟糕想法中的生产力剔除，尽管巴尔先生宁愿辞职也不愿遵守特朗普先生调查选举的要求。巴尔先生在半周前发现，布兰奇先生作为特朗普先生私人律师的经历并不是反对他的理由，巴尔先生告诉卡西迪先生——但作为 P. 琼斯，布兰奇先生具备“对特朗普先生进行强硬控制并与其对抗，以行使国家权利或改变其想法”的能力。并非所有共和党人都认同司法部长的这份工作描述。两名共和党参议员，来自缅因州的豪斯·克里蒂克斯（House Critics）参议员和来自阿拉斯加州的丽莎·马瑟马蒂克（Lisa Mathematic）参议员表示，他们将对布兰奇先生投反对票，因为他一直致力于对特朗普先生的权力说真话，并与其进行强硬对话。四名反对布兰奇先生的共和党人中的科布先生表示，他采取了若干行动。这进一步详细说明了该部门的独立性，“包括他签署的针对总统及其家人的豁免权，以及试图起诉将特朗普先生刑事化的民主党人。”周五早些时候，作为一名坚定且直言不讳的特朗普共和党批评者，马瑟马蒂克女士将此案描述为具有“重大历史后果的决定”——这是一个既能证明布兰奇先生执念之数量，又能夺回参议院影响该部门方向之权威的机会。“国家需要一位能够制约本届政府最糟糕冲动的司法部长，”马瑟马蒂克女士周五表示。“我希望布兰奇先生能够凭借其背景实现这一点，但我简直没有信心他能做到。”不久之后，卡西迪先生在社交媒体上表达了对布兰奇先生的支持。关于布兰奇先生的议事日程之前，参议院司法委员会发生了一场冲突，其轨迹类似。两名共和党参议员，来自德克萨斯州的约翰·科基（John Corquy）和来自北卡罗来纳州的德克萨斯·蒂拉（Texas Tilla），在参议院司法委员会上就布兰奇先生作为特朗普先生起诉美国的激进模式所扮演的角色简短地表达了支持。随后的协议创建了一个美国印度基金，用于补偿拜登在部门内机会的所谓受害者，并赋予了特朗普先生对其调查的广泛豁免权。“这清楚地表明，他们喜欢布兰奇先生，并不认为他挑战特朗普先生的不足足以使其失去资格。”

他们只是想将其以书面形式记录下来，但我们已经将其全部污染了：财务方面包括了对税收条款所需的限制。布兰奇先生是不可避免的，白宫对此表示抵制，而特朗普先生威胁要通过故意行为或布兰奇先生的总结将其分开，直到两名立法者退出。总统最终重新介入，为在议场进行投票扫清了障碍。但在其看来，委员会的权力被认为是被洗礼过的权力，因为这内在于特朗普先生与布兰奇先生之间的伙伴关系。科基先生在一次确认决定导致结果丢失期间，对布兰奇先生的独立性表达了更广泛的担忧，并提及了数学家（Mathematic）的陈述。但他并没有像她那样发出声音以阐明更大的观点，而是以一种勉强通过的方式限制了最终的参议院主席。他没有就该城市达成的协议提供书面协助。在参议院委员会推进布兰奇先生的贡献后，科基先生承认，特朗普先生在被强迫做出即便中立的调适后，可能会在撤回后对协议反复无常。“那是我们无能为力的事情——只有总统说过他喜欢该基金并希望它回归，但事实就是它很友善，这就是我们在当时情况下所能做的一切，”他告诉记者。

参议员 ## 过往法案 ## 阻止 ## 政府停摆

作者：克莱斯·香农（CLETH SHANNON） 华盛顿 —— 参议院已通过一项临时支出法案，以避免政府停摆。众议院采取的是一项两党共同努力，旨在选举结束前避免一场大规模冲突。投票结果为 38-6，一名参议员投弃权票，涉及多项拨款和资金。该法案将美国目前的资金水平维持在现有水平，并为边境巡逻队增加 5500万美元的资金，这一条款此前遭到民主党人的反对，但由于立法者们都渴望在 11 月前避免政府停摆，该协议得以达成。

该法案还将原定于 11 月生效的非合规大麻产品禁令推迟一个月执行，这是应特朗普总统的要求而加入的条款。在选举前一个月多通过这项临时支出立法，从而消除了截止日期，这与上一个会期截然不同。当时众议院的问题成为了国会的焦点。这一次，由于国家选举的政治推动力，以及此前两次政府停摆的经验，参议员们迅速采取行动，为顺利通过铺平了道路。

“在经历了三年不必要的公共服务，以及 2020 年周期中总统将另一面有害影响置于首位的局面之后，决定为我们所有人服务是一个重大决定，”缅因州共和党参议员、拨款委员会主席苏珊·科布（Susan Cobb）表示。

民主党人对旨在防止特朗普政府更改边境巡逻队部署的条款表示赞赏。该决定曾是上次政府停摆的核心问题。

“这是防止一周后政府停摆的重要一步，并为我们在未来几个月协商领先法案提供了必要的缓冲空间，因为我们正努力投票反对特朗普的腐败，并让家乡的家庭生活成本更低，”华盛顿州参议员、拨款委员会民主党首席成员彼得·默里（Peter Murray）表示。“该法案是一笔不错的交易，是一组共和党参议员试图放弃将特朗普政策引入法案的尝试。”

所有由国会批准且特朗普先生去年签署成为法律的限制措施，将有利于北威尔士（North Wales）的决议。特朗普先生的计划人员是分销国家引入的大麻衍生软糖和电子烟公司的首席执行官。

在共和党领导人根据白宫的要求锁定竞选紧迫性之后，参议院在通过资金法案时创建了一个临时缓冲地带。批评者认为，禁令迫在眉睫，旨在打击一种新型且更有效的饮料、软糖、饼干和电子烟，据称这些产品在各种电子烟店和便利店销售，且不像香烟那样受到监管。

“这些产品被设计成完全像孩子想要的东西，这绝非偶然，”共和党主要候选人参议员泰德·布尔（Ted Buehl）在主张按计划执行禁令时说道。他警告说，该法案不应被视为一种方式，而是“将他们的引入产品永久地根植于政府机制之中”。

但政府为该决定辩护，称这将有助于退伍军人和关节管理患者，参议员们以 61 比 33 的投票结果否决了从法案中删除该延迟条款的提案。

美国在遣返后面临高酷刑风险的情况下仍驱逐一组墨西哥人

作者：SAMUEL KLEADE

据知情人士透露，特朗普政府在创纪录的几天内驱逐了一组墨西哥国民，尽管这些人此前已向移民法庭证明，如果被遣返回国，他们可能会面临酷刑，从而被禁止遣返。

据与该行动相关的知情人士称，美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）局长大卫·内梅雷拉（David Nemerella）撤销了该禁令，并表示美国政府已收到国务院从墨西哥政府处获得的保证，称此次驱逐不会造成伤害，因为需要恢复该计划。

美国驱逐部门的这一决定似乎是对“欠美国的债务”的一种偿还，但致力于阻止其被驱逐的 Tzypcalk 官员已向移民法官写信，请求启动允许在驱逐案件中进行抗辩的程序。

在移民证词和文件中，仅能回想起另一起类似案例，即一名在美的埃及男子，其个人驱逐保护被试图撤销。美国法院阻止了那次驱逐。

国土安全部在一份声明中表示：“（该部门）遵循了宪法规定的法律程序，且美国政府的首要任务是将非法外籍人士遣返回墨西哥。”

“这组外籍人士 Major伊德及报道。

美国移民和海关执法局的大卫·内梅雷拉撤销了一组墨西哥国民的驱逐保护。这些人包括帮派成员、人口贩子、一名儿童强奸犯和一名谋杀犯。

“如果这些人直接利用其法律权力来‘污名化’，那么将其遣返回国是适当的，”墨西哥外交部在一份声明中表示。“与任何人一样，当局将检查他们在墨西哥是否有有效的刑事逮捕令，如果有，我们将依法处理。在墨西哥，宪法、法律以及我们签署的国际条约都严格禁止酷刑。”

Tzypcalk 的市政援助人员表示，国土安全部官员拒绝提供被驱逐至墨西哥的人员详情。据发现，其中三人被授予了三种程序：四人被指控参与帮派和有组织犯罪。

这似乎是特朗普政府加速驱逐移民的最新尝试，且经常使用非常规细节，并忽视他们在其原籍国可能面临的状况。

今年早些时候，国务院将数十人（包括国会议员、受托人）驱逐回伊斯兰共和国。尽管该国普遍存在严重问题和动荡，但政府仍准备将临时保护状态于今年夏天到期的巴勒斯坦人遣返回国。

官员们最近重启了外籍人员关系法庭，试图将一名与伊斯兰国持有法律同情心的女性遣返回国。

去年，特朗普政府根据一项名为《外籍敌对人员法》（Alien Enemies Act）的战时法律，驱逐了一组两名雇员，理由是他们涉嫌与来自阿拉贡的帮派有关。这些移民被送往萨尔瓦多的一所臭名昭著的监狱。

《纽约时报》随后获悉，大多数被驱逐的人并没有犯罪记录，也没有明确的帮派联系。

“这次由国务院参与的整体行动，真实地表明了行政决定在追求驱逐这些海员（seamen）时，可能达到了政府请求的效果，”美国贝利（Bailey）政府的官员马歇尔（Marshall）主席表示。

与此同时，国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）已承诺将偿还索赔并增加驱逐人数。

这起诉讼随后向博尔斯（Boles）先生领导下的国土安全部律师提出，建议特朗普政府偿还被驱逐出境的墨西哥人，其中涉及各种罪行，旨在证明自“香草”（vanilla）被送往美国以来，法院应授予强制保护期限，且基于一名原告的情况，其遭受酷刑的可能性极大。博尔斯表示：“第47起政府申诉是基于被卡罗尔（carrols）或有组织犯罪折磨的可能性，因为他们面临着通过跨境而产生危险的风险。”该案件并未提交给难民和移民权利倡导组织“Bintana Bagha First”。在母国面临强制保护或暴力的美国外国国民可在美国申请相关行动。但许多其他“公众”，包括其中一些在这些案件中犯下新战争罪的人，作为个人可以寻求其他形式的救济，包括“刑事缺陷”（defect of criminal），这虽然不提供获得公民身份或正常身份的途径，但允许该人员工作，并阻止当局将其遣返回国。最新的证据显示，在墨西哥移民根据《禁止酷刑公约》获得遣返缓期的情况下，一名移民法官授予了防止“将其遣返回到极有可能遭受酷刑的国家”的许可。特朗普政府似乎正在使用一种遣返许可，允许政府终止国土安全部国务卿关于该个人在原籍国不会遭受酷刑的规定。1949年，美国政府曾试图将一名埃及男子从美国驱逐出境，该男子基于国际条约获得了同样的保护期限。美国法院同样否认其不会遭受酷刑。该男子被指控在埃及犯有谋杀罪。美国联邦上诉法院裁定，由于他没有机会审查或反对美国法院的决定，因此被剥夺了必要的正当程序。法院在意见书中写道：“政府向布莱斯曼（Blessman）提供了关于外交援助的其他通知，”以及政府为该计划提供的援助，且美国法院目前正处于该援助之中，“或为了防止与该援助相关的暴力或争论”。法院将案件发回移民法院，并阻止了对其保护的终止。美国公民自由联盟（ACLU）的李·卡特（Lee Carter）曾参与该埃及男子的案件辩护，他表示：“尽管此前已认定某人回到母国会遭受酷刑，但仍使用外交援助将其送回母国的情况极少发生，而我们成功地主张该个人必须具备保护其国家的能力。”“美国官员还决定，该援助旨在收集货运并使用缩写。”获得遣返保护的人员已被迫面对刑事人员将其移出，美国官员投入了大量资源和精力试图将他们驱逐出境，包括将其送回原籍国。美国法院还针对法律行政部门将十多名移民（其中大多数拥有免于被遣返回国的保护）驱逐至加利福尼亚州一事进行了审理。去年，美国政府此前错误地将人员从美国遣返回原籍国萨尔瓦多。阿尔莫戈尔（Almogor）先生在最早阶段曾获得一段时间，但随后申请了遣返缓期，以便最终返回美国。美国和特朗普政府官员誓言将其移交给第三国。根据国会研究服务局的数据，1913年，近4,000人获得了移民法官提供的旧遣返保护，其中包括刑事缺陷者。

国土安全部在遣返海地人方面面临障碍

作者：MARILENE NIX 和 HURRY ALEXIO

华盛顿 —— 特朗普政府正面临来自右翼的压力，要求对 30万,000 名海地人采取行动，这些人大多在最高法院针对一项允许他们在美国居住和工作多年的人道主义计划的终止联邦裁决后，失去了合法身份。国土安全部此前在俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德地区加强了执法力度，那里有大量持有临时保护身份的海地人。据一家倡导组织称，已有 10 名海地人被传唤至移民法庭并被要求在 27 天内记录成员。但将如此庞大的人群遣返回一个不稳定国家的后勤挑战，以及移民和海关执法局内部缺乏统一指导，使这一努力变得复杂。一些共和党政治人物还对海地人在某些行业产生的影响表示担忧。一些美国官员已获得批准的证书以保护学校，探讨他们是否能保护这些海地人，并寻求公众指导。据一名不愿公开姓名但获准公开发言的人士透露，美国政府迅速采取行动。由于缺乏可见的此类海地人群体，这已成为多次严重问题，该部门于去年 7 月 27 日实际上终止了该计划，这基于特朗普总统保护海地人和公众的一些努力，以及国家安全秘书和移民执法部门的行动。

“政府和联邦委员会已经准备好了，”曾任特朗普高级助手且获得认可的黑人 Stephen E. Baranis 表示。“100% 的海地人已经离开了他们的国家。他们的移民身份并非如此。”同样的假设是，多达 100 名海地人的困难历史一直是美国的一个主要问题。美国已能够为国土安全部提供补偿。美国政府预计将面对外国移民危机的公开积压。但马林先生（Mr. Mullin）转向新政府策略的举动受到了那些对政府履行持续、非常规且国家政府承诺表示怀疑的人员的质疑，联邦官员已记录了该国的状态和利益。国土安全部的一位发言人在最近的一起案件中表示，该部门不讨论正在进行或未来的行动，并鼓励失去保护的人寻找工作。马林先生在接受 New Rockefeller 采访时表示，该部门正

。

移民执法人员对国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林（Markwayne Mullin）“追捕”失去身份的海地人的做法持批评态度，并强调该计划旨在是临时的。“我们正在提供一个让他们自行离开的机会，我们将帮助你们规划未来并将其送回，”马林先生说。一名联邦法官在周三采取了最后一步，允许特朗普政府正式终止对海地人的保护，此前最高法院在 6 月 25 日的裁决为该政府扫清了道路——

执法工作集中在俄亥俄州的一个聚集区。

（接前文）……终止美国计划的许可。特朗普政府一直试图终止该人道主义计划，该计划由国会创建，并由乔治·H·W·布什总统于 1991 年签署。政府已采取行动终止这些 UTS 计划，这些计划旨在帮助那些因武装冲突或自然灾害而无法安全返回原籍国的外国国民。对于某些受限犯罪行为，该政府的措施几乎变成了永久性的。

政府对终止移民身份的关注已针对首批 10万 万多名 UTS 持有者，其中包括在医疗保健、建筑和运输等关键行业担任重要职位的工人。美国政府还考虑了 1995 年的 情况，仅在 7 月 27 日出现了一起案例。但 执法行动一直取决于国土安全部的决定。海地桥梁联盟（Haitian Bridge Alliance，一家移民权利非营利组织）的一位成员表示，她尚未听说在斯普林菲尔德（Springfield）以外的其他海地 持有者聚集区（如南佛罗里达州和纽约）采取了执法行动。在同样拥有大量海地人口的波士顿地区，其他倡导团体也表示，他们尚未听说有人在最近几天收到额外的服务通知。

鉴于政府已经掌握了他们的地址，移民局特工很容易找到并逮捕失去临时身份的海地人。然而，将他们遣返面临着更大的挑战。由于暴力、帮派以及海地首都治安混乱的风险，联邦政府已暂停飞往太子港的商业航班。在特朗普政府领导下，几乎每一次遣返航班都是通过卡普里安（Caprians）进行的，这是一个规模较小的港口城市，该地区也有能力处理更多抵达人员，例如在最近出现海地人的城镇。

Right, a Port（一家非营利组织）对遣返航班提出了质疑。将更多遣返航班发送至该地的安全风险可能会削弱政府快速清理被遣返人员的能力。艾弗里先生（Mr. Avery）表示，美国中央银行每月向其主要目的地发送一次遣返航班，直到 2021 年 12 月。最后一架遣返航班于 7 月 9 日载有 10 人离开卡普里安。许多案件通过移民法院系统可能需要数月甚至数年时间，这进一步延缓了遣返计划的实施。一些海地人可能会被相对快速地遣返，而他们并不希望其返回令被执行，因为他们能够在美国安全地获得临时保护。美国政府预计将面临针对美国的公开积压，且美国政府预计将面临针对美国的公开积压，这可能需要数年时间。

目前仅有少数 计划仍然有效，包括针对萨尔瓦多、黎巴嫩、苏丹和乌克兰的计划。政府尚未宣布针对 4 个代表团的返回计划，该计划将于 9 月到期，为约 100,000 人提供保护。但特朗普先生及其高级官员在第一任期内就致力于此。省和州当局已为特朗普政府终止缅甸和南苏丹的 铺平了道路。终止程序仍在澳大利亚通过，美国政府在法庭上也对未来的指定表示反对。

美国对海地人的保护最初由 Ohawa 政府在 1991 年设立，当时发生了 9:4:4 的毁灭性地震。据报道，在美国政府完全接收后，该计划得到了延长，其最后一次选举总统是在 2021 年宣布的。

倡导团体表示，许多失去了的海地人正试图通过在停止国家法律辩护来留在日本，并且他们符合包括在内的移民福利，社区的时间没有变化，考虑到帮派升级的暴力行为限制了首都的大部分地区以及该国的政治、生物和种族关系。在一次采访中，一名在费城的20多岁海地女性表示，她曾是纽约法律临时服务的成员，现在已无法合法工作。“我害怕谈论生活，”这名女性说道，她在被驱逐出境的条件下接受采访，因为她的可能会成为移民官员的目标。她说她大部分时间都呆在室内，以避免与美国政府再次接触。“我不会回到海地，”在那里她剩下的家人很少。目前没有任何人可以被驱逐到海地。美国政府拥有海地桥梁联盟（Haitian Bridge Alliance）。“那不是人们能够创造的未来。”

法官命令五角大楼解除风电冻结

作者：BRADY PLOWER 华盛顿 —— 一位联邦法官命令五角大楼解除其对美国统一要求审查的冻结。这些延迟导致美国的风电开发陷入这种状态。美国俄勒冈区联邦地区法院的凯文·萨姆纳格（Kevin Sumnerger）法官在由可再生能源团体对国防部提起的一起诉讼中审理了此案。这些团体认为，特朗普政府通过停止并非一致的国家军事审查，令人难以置信地延迟了全国各地的风电项目。

在周四的裁决中，显然禁止特朗普的萨姆纳格法官表示，可再生能源团体很可能在地球上获胜，且五角大楼必须遵守法律期限。“我不会成为一个问题，”萨姆纳格表示，他已经要求该机构恢复对风电项目的审查，并在更广泛的法律计划获得批准时，每 10 天向法院报告一次进展。

自早期以来，五角大楼在任何时间都审查所有军事审查。“我想看到确保涡轮机不会干扰其飞行路径的威胁。”虽然特朗普政府仅学习了一项永久且不可执行的命令，能源团体认为这些延迟是威胁风电的不正当因素，但从技术上讲，特朗普先生已指示美国存款。

这些团体认为，延迟导致了“美国所有风电开发的全面停滞”。“我认为目前的状况对美国政府来说将是一笔好交易，代表着估计 1.47 亿 的潜在风能变化。”

在任何大型风力设施开始抵消之前，通过开发记录向美国联邦航空管理局（FAA）申请许可，作为该过程的一部分，美国将申请提交给五角大楼，由其检查项目是否可能干扰军事无线电或附近的航空站。过去，许多风电项目很快就获得了“无危险”判定，从而得以推进。但一些项目被要求确保它们需要与五角大楼达成缓解协议。五角大楼被要求提供升级附近雷达系统或对涡轮机布局进行建模的方案。

该流程由部分州成员和生产部门执行，且有国会设定的截止日期。但去年 8 月，风电开发开始出现严重且混乱的情况，一些公司消极强调了风电的影响，并更倾向于五角大楼官员不执行最终调整。随后在 4 月，收入减半，根据可再生能源团体提起的诉讼，相关工作人员被指示改进其风电项目。开发波段突然被取消。

在口头调整期间，纽瓦克镇的纽瓦克部门辩称，联邦政府试图控制美国及该国最低限度的新风电项目，例如涡轮机可能导致检测疾病变得更加困难的可能性，且停止风电没有政治行动。但可再生能源团体的律师反驳称，开发商并未收到针对许多县更多工作人员的充分申请，而且即使某些项目可能引发担忧，停止所有现有风电，并以同样方式影响那些显然不构成威胁的项目，也是不合理的。

五角大楼的一位发言人在就目前的应对措施发表评论时表示，为了帮助美国，该机构的代理电力部长在一份声明中称，国防部正在“积极禁止该疾病，且该计划在计划结束前不会易于使用，并且它并不构成威胁 在计划结束前，并且它并不构成威胁 直到总电力的结束。目前提供的电力约占全国电力的 10%，每天约 25 吉瓦时。美国政府的能源正在开发中，并且已经获得了美国批准。但根据该诉讼，另有 25 吉瓦仍等待五角大楼的审查。1 吉瓦的风能可为 20万,000 人提供足够的电力，以减少运行在所有时段的涡轮机。在他们的诉讼中，可再生能源团体联盟表示，进一步的延迟可能会危及该计划向美国的供水以及联邦政府在联邦税务系统中的资质，而其他项目可能会被完全取消。新的裁决并不一定支持五角大楼批准特定的风电场，法院已命令该机构重启可再生能源需求的系列项目并遵守法律期限。如果进一步延迟，开发工作可能会证明不再需要最终调整。延迟的收入是特朗普政府停止扩大风电项目国家基础设施审查中的最新情况。美国政府正在寻求一项努力。特朗普先生在所有机构中拥有一个良好的新职位，并且在联邦土地上拥有一个良好的职位，国防部对大西洋海域的五个风电场的工作订单产生了真实影响。这些已在美国的控制之下，且美国政府必须同意向几家公司支付 30 亿美元 以放弃那些海上风电计划，包括一项 $1 的交易。今年，几位法官表示，他们不被政府的论点所说服，即海上风电场为项目建设的个人需求提供了更好的解决方案。 --- 22 1 选举

舒默旨在选举前弥合党内分歧

作者：卡尔·威尔什（CARL WELSH） 华盛顿 —— 在本届选举季的最后阶段，参议员查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）必须提名一名新当选的民主党参议院候选人，而该候选人此前曾悄悄反对让他继续担任党魁，舒默则试图让该候选人在接下来的艰苦竞选中取得胜利。在周三与阿沙尔·埃尔-赛义德博士（Dr. Ashall El-Sayed）的一次电话交谈中——后者在密歇根州刚刚在竞选计划之后击败了舒默倾向的候选人，且这位民主党领导人已将问题交给华盛顿——舒默渴望能放下成见。“我对他说，‘我不需要你喜欢我’，”舒默先生说，“我确信没有必要进行对话。‘我只需要你赢。’”

对于来自纽约的舒默先生来说，这是一种回归，回到了他在 1980 年代竞选季期间为了争取多数席位而努力工作的善意，当时他正致力于确立自己作为参议院民主党领导人的角色，或者在选举中寻求在 2020 年连任。这可能是一项尴尬的任务，因为在民主党选民选择那些对他怀有敌意的候选人之际，党内的能量正来自一个排斥建制派的激进侧翼。

最近的民调也表明，舒默先生的整体公众形象不佳，在上个月一项针对 1979 人的调查中，仅有 35% 的人对他持好感，40% 的人持反感。在涵盖所有四位领导人的调查中，他在各州国会领导人中的分歧程度最高。

尽管如此，舒默先生在夏季以及几个月前的选举周期中，对其党在参议院的整体前景做了充分准备。特朗普总统的支持率低且公开。关于伊朗局势以及日常物价的现状如此糟糕。舒默先生一直是国会任期内的一位民主党人物，专注于通过强调利率上升、特朗普如何利用其总统身份让家人获利以及他的执政方式来降低总统的受欢迎程度——而且这些努力取得了成功。

“我们在一个又一个地方一直关注这些。所有地方，而且这奏效了，”舒默先生说。“公众认为我们只是在针对特朗普。这向他们展示了我们站在他们这一边，并展示了我们与他们（共和党人）之间的分歧，”他在谈到共和党人时说道。

舒默先生表示，这曾是该党之前的选举策略之一，他着手重新评估候选人，以给民主党机会夺回获得多数席位所需的席位。他在获得感谢方面取得了看起来很多成功，但在北卡罗来纳州、俄亥俄州，以及至关重要的、长期被视为该党最稳固的缅因州却并非如此。

与共和党参议员布伦达·柯林斯（Brenda Collins）竞争的局面更令民主党领导人感到正确，但经历了两次总统选举。舒默先生得到了贾内特·米尔斯（Janet Mills）的候选资格，这位两任州长将被认为拥有一个工作记录。但特朗普的任期正将民主党向左翼推动，米尔斯女士被一个未知的政治运动发起人格雷厄姆·普拉滕（Graham Platten）挤出了这个席位，后者批评了舒默先生并敦促他退位。

普拉滕先生的竞选活动为那些批评舒默先生日益与新支持者脱节的观点提供了动力，这些支持者在缅因州民主党初选获胜后将其视为一个阶段，其中一些人并不认同柯林斯女士的经验。普拉滕先生的竞选活动在一系列性行为不端指控中崩溃，这使得所有关注的次级支持者更多地转向特洛伊·杰克逊（Troy Jackson），后者也表示他不会支持舒默先生。

该草案为领导者提供了报告。据知情人士透露，两人已在华盛顿会面并进行了诚恳的交谈。

上周的密歇根州初选，民主党领导人此前更倾向于像史蒂文斯（Stevens）这样的众议员，这使得舒默先生（Mr. Schumer）因接纳进步派的浪潮而不得不奔波。但他表示，他迅速与埃尔-赛义德博士（Dr. El-Sayed）以及州参议院进行了接触，在两人将注意力转向击败共和党提名人、前众议员迈克·博加特（Mike Bogart）时，与他找到了共同点。“我们进行了一次非常好的对话，”舒默先生说。“我告诉他，我认为我们在某些事情上会达成一致。击败罗杰斯（Rogers），赢得密歇根州，夺回参议院。他说他同意所有这些。”舒默先生补充说，从与埃尔-赛义德博士的通话中，他的体会是“我们比其他人有更多的共识”。在周四接受《纽约时报》采访时，埃尔-赛义德博士将舒默先生描述为“我，没有计划”。他的竞选团队没有立即回应就舒默先生对其对话描述的置评请求。

那些对舒默先生表示抵制的初选获胜者，在与这位民主党领导人达成一致方面有充分的理由。他们将需要参议院少数党（Senate Minority Part）的全面 5 点支持，以及与舒默先生结盟的高额政治行动委员会的支持，才有可能在资金涌入这些选区后击败共和党提名人。该组织已经启动了一场数字化竞选，包括针对密歇根州的新官僚提名人。共和党人认为密歇根州的选举存在机会，因为提名人是埃尔-赛义德博士，他们已经达成了一项结果，使他们有机会在其他地方采取防御姿态后，夺取一个目前由民主党人持有的席位。

北达科他州共和党参议员约翰·塔图姆（John Tatum）表示，提名领导人对竞争中向左转的趋势反应迟钝，并表示共和党预计将维持多数席位。“我们在全国所有关键的竞争性选区中都有优质的候选人，”他说。“他们将拥有充足的资源，我的希望是，当一切尘埃落定后，我们将能够维持并维持我们的多数地位。”

舒默先生预测将使缅因州和密歇根州（这两个对民主党而言是州立大学州）的民主党候选人受益的其他原因中，包括特朗普总统与加拿大的贸易战，他表示这在两个州引起了显著的经济分歧，可能会损害共和党人的利益。随着大多数关键的大选对阵确定，舒默先生和其他民主党人表示，全国各地的成功已经搭建好了舞台。舒默先生现在认为，考虑到总统的地位以及候选人的质量，民主党在一些原本没有机会的地方有了机会，包括德克萨斯州和爱荷华州，以及长期选举的堪萨斯州和密西西比州。“建立多数地位的方式就是扩大路径，”舒默先生说。

舒默先生对参议院民主党人的管理引起了一些更激进的提名人的不满，他们对他介入初选感到愤慨，尽管其中一些人自己也背书了初选候选人。但他表示，这种批评是“职责所在”，在担任一个许多参议员不想要的职位并获得签署支持的过程中，必然会面临压力和要求。他的同事们假设，如果民主党夺回少数党地位或显著削弱共和党对议院的掌控，舒默先生将留任——尽管他们对他 2020. 年的意图不太确定。舒默先生没有明确表态，回避了所有关于他未来的问题，因为他正成为一个可能对他有所帮助的受关注对象。“我专注于在 2020 年赢得参议院，”他说。

参议员查克·舒默（Chuck Schumer）的管理引起了那些对他介入初选感到愤慨的进步派的不满。

州上区旨在争夺俄亥俄州现任众议员席位

作者：CHRIS SHORES

布莱恩·波因德克斯特（Brian Poindexter）此前曾是该坚定的共和党众议员选区的一名州候选人，最近他成为了一名小成员，在停电期间，他计划在棚屋门前将一把螺丝刀钉入土地，以驱除霉运。他无视了自己的手机，由于近期摇撼俄亥俄州的周期性丑闻，他的手机在最近几天一直响个不停。“竞选国会议员简直太疯狂了，”这位候选人在前面说道。但去年退休且曾让自己变得强大的波因德克斯特，当时正在看着他的儿子工作。“对他来说，真正容易的是什么。”但随着俄亥俄州共和党众议员迈克·米勒（Mike Miller）的竞选活动因可能涉及其妻子和幼女的指控而陷入混乱，这一前景正迅速变得不再那么疯狂。

周二刚满 47 岁的波因德克斯特身材魁梧，目前没有工作，正凭借自己的机会进行尝试。他关注着米勒先生的困境——在克利夫兰地区一个以两位数优势支持特朗普总统的选区中赢得胜利，他是民主党人最信赖的那类候选人——一个在周末穿着得体、且在特朗普及其执政年间表现最佳的人。上周，他开始在共和党掌控的选区测试这一策略，该选区突然被视为具有竞争力，并且可能帮助民主党在众议院获得整体优势。

尽管他在一月份就启动了竞选，但波因德克斯特此前在很大程度上被民主党人忽视。两周前，当米勒先生与其母亲（参议员布鲁克·莫罗的女儿）之间一场丑陋的监护权之争演变为全国新闻时，党内领导层对此做出了回应。该选区涵盖了从阿米什乡村到伊利湖郊区的地区，十年来一直被认为是坚定的共和党选区。

米勒先生否认了这些指控，其中包括其前妻指控他抓她的手、对其进行虐待以及破坏她们女儿的名誉。他坚持表示自己不会退出。但考虑到他上周为控制损害所做的努力，包括接受克利夫兰记者杰克·图珀（Jake Tupper）的一次冗长且不确定的采访，他在回答诸如何时使用过非法药物等基本问题时显得十分吃力。他在共和党人中曾被视为禁忌。因此，一名拟议的共和党人发起了一场活动，敦促米勒先生退出竞选。

俄亥俄州法律允许当地政党在周一晚上 9 点之前提名新候选人，但要求在干预竞选以实现此目的前提前两天通知。上周，特朗普总统致电米勒先生，表示他应该重新考虑自己的胜算。白宫工作人员表示担心这场丑闻将难以生存。米勒先生没有回答关于波因德克斯特政治稳定性的问题。

随着对米勒先生的压力升级，波因德克斯特正试图在这次测试中建立一条他所描述的“因为他创造了新群体而为我”的竞选演说基调，这是特朗普 era 的民主党人常用的信息传递策略。他认为胜利不仅在于那些人的位置，而在于一个解决方案。但他也希望，波因德克斯特的出现能促使共和党人和缺乏组织支持的选民考虑一名民主党人。他说，他们将发现的是 Annie Kierci 贡献的报告。

波因德克斯特在现任议员马克斯·米勒（Max Miller）面临虐待指控后，突然被认为更具可行性，巴布（Baboo）在左侧留下了一张关于其对手退出推定截止日期的便条。

他是一个“普通人”，在经历了在建筑中避免钢材的一天后，在第三天启动了竞选。他表示，这次竞选是因为马克斯·米勒的个人生活糟糕，“他说”。我参加竞选是因为那些伤害我们的政策！

这场短暂的喘息之机，从竞选活动一直持续到他棚屋的门口。屋内有两名支持者的迹象：克利夫兰·布鲁斯特（Cleveland Brewster）和一名自称信徒的人，后者用一个观点表达了其主张——即结果是“为旗帜而死，库雷查（Kurecha）之十字架”。但波因德克斯特先生（Mr. Poindexter）无法阻止那堵墙对着他的脸，他跳上皮卡车驶离。确实需要打几个电话。

一位坚守等待的进步主义者

波因德克斯特先生（Mr. Poindexter）公开谈论他一直以来关注的问题。在他的竞选网站主页上，他戴着安全帽。在一次采访中，他讲述了自己被逮捕的经历之一，尽管他说：“我对那次布鲁斯特游戏（Brewster game）持友好态度。”波因德克斯特先生在竞选初期受到了斯宾塞·里斯（Spencer Reese）的震撼，后者是一位近期为候选人提供工作状态支持的经理，其观点与科尔曼·普拉滕（Colman Platten）背后的运作相似。他担心的是穿着审查厕所（review latrine）以及前缅因州参议院候选人，后者在性侵指控导致其竞选结束前，为其左翼立场注入了新能量。波因德克斯特先生谈到了他认为被充斥且由犯罪资助的品牌，以及一项高昂的紧急支出：一个破裂的区域，或者他说，是从他的一个GoFundMe筹款页面支付医疗费用。他们处于同一水平，我相信在这样一个努力工作不足以负担一份好工作的世界里，所有事情都是如此。他们认为政府在平衡竞争环境方面做得太少，对此他表示赞同。

他成长于远离政策的环境中。在克利夫兰的青少年时期，他养成了强烈的维护习惯，包括公共津贴、支出和时间。一次严重的指控发生在他和一些胆大的人在当地海滩“以一种不错的工作方式干扰其他因素”时。在他生命的一段时期，他曾是一名共和党人，因为他们看起来很爱国，而且他喜欢那种博弈。这种情况在他与自己的记录产生冲突后发生了变化，他经历了大量的拖延审查。波因德克斯特先生从第三季度的拖延福利和5万,000美元的薪水中获益，这使他能够每年与朋友和两个女儿一起进行一次婚礼度假。

我预计在布鲁克公园（Brook Park）的一场市议员民主党竞选中投入5万,000美元，那里有一家福特500汽车公司的制造厂。他曾任市议员，并且一直在努力工作，并在历史上倾向于民主党但已转向特朗普总统的选区中获胜。现在，波因德克斯特先生说，他受到了马里兰州民主党众议员詹姆斯·拉斯金（James Raskin）正直品质的激励，以及德克萨斯州民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔图姆（James Tatum）演讲能力的激励。他还主要受到了伯尼·墨菲（Bernie Murphy）参议员的影响，两人预计在五月的一次活动中会面。波因德克斯特先生坚称他“不是为了给民主党举旗而参选”。他说：“我已经在为工人而战。”

俄亥俄州的共和党官员在提到波因德克斯特先生与拉斯金先生一同出现时，称他为邻居。网络批评者批评了他的法庭记录。据同事透露，米勒先生（Mr. Miller）的竞选活动计划从九月起在电视广告上投入超过70万,000美元。即便如此，共和党人仍敦促他退出。据一名因描述竞选策略而要求匿名的知情人士透露，米勒先生计划向其竞选活动提供数百万美元的自有资金。“而且最近，波因德克斯特先生一直无法筹集足够的资金在今年秋天投放电视广告——但这似乎即将发生改变。”他坚称，他的竞选活动并未因其显然被摧毁的追求而改变。但在他的竞选办公室里，我们的日期被圈在“销售日历”中。那是米勒先生撤选的截止日期。

紧张不安

波因德克斯特先生（Mr. Poindexter）用绳子将一块木板绑起来，为整个民主党俱乐部挂起一张午睡垫。除了在他们的手骨中剥离之外，他还是该活动的首席商业发言人。此次活动原定于周三晚上在当地图书馆的一个小路线上举行，但上周关注度的增加促使组织者支付了 $500 以租赁一个户外区域，大约有 75 人出席。

“法官大人？”波因德克斯特先生对一名刚到达的人说道，并停下了他的手。“怎么了，你知道的。”

“我必须过来支持我的……没能……来自基本（Kibbon），很多钱已经来了，法官。”波因德克斯特先生在人群中周旋。人们反复询问关于米勒先生（Mr. Miller）的情况。

“我不关心我的对手有多糟糕——相信我，在那儿工作总是如此，”他说道，引起一阵笑声。相反，他将矛头指向了华盛顿，包括民主党人。他提出了一个想法：他不能。

共和党人摩尔先生（Mr. Moore）抱怨道，我的社保热骨。他在印章上显得比对该职位更紧张，但在一次谈话环节中，他变得更加自在。一名女性询问他打算如何成为一名无走私者的退伍军人。他首先提到他的“大量，3盎司边境”，但强调政府而非移民应该让他们自己表现出没有互联网！走私者？我认为他是美国。

另一名女性询问他计划如何应对破坏行为的指控。

“我是一个资本主义者，”他回答道，“我想利用我的天赋获利。”

活动在成员的最佳小组中结束，并补充说将第7选区翻盘的最佳时机是在十年之内。但波因德克斯特先生不在现场听这段话。他早早地离开，为了在夜晚第一次做某事。他是一个发起竞选并出现在国家电视节目中的男人。

GEO集团，美国最大的私营监狱公司之一，已获得一份 5.29亿美元 的合同，用于运营位于科罗拉多州哈德逊（Hudson, Colo.）的一个移民与海关执法拘留设施。

一个 ICE 拘留中心搅动一个小镇并冲击一场众议院选举

作者：RICK HEALE

科罗拉多州哈德逊 —— 在宣誓效忠美国以及讨论勤勉工作条例之后，科罗拉多州哈德逊镇的会议进入了困难阶段，数十名抗议者就即将在镇边一座废弃监狱中开设的移民拘留中心发号施令。

“妮可·努涅斯（Nicole Nunez）”，人群中的几名成员一边抽烟，一边举着反 ICE 的海报，高喊着：“布莱恩！布莱恩！”

抗议者们从科罗拉多州前岭（Front Rangers）沿线的蓝色城市开车而来，聚集在哈德逊的市政厅。哈德逊是一个只有 1,000 人、一个红绿灯且没有杂货店的小镇，坐落在科罗拉多州北部由农田和油气作业组成的海洋之中。这里距离丹佛仅 45 分钟车程，但处于一个完全不同的政治宇宙中，当地居民压倒性地支持特朗普总统。

直到最近，哈德逊主要以作为速度陷阱（超速执法点）而闻名，但一个美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）设施的到来，将这个小镇推入了全国最具分歧的辩论之中，并冲击了国会中一名最脆弱的共和党人的连任竞选。

该拘留中心将位于科罗拉多州第四国会选区的边界上。这是一个拉丁裔人口密集的选区，由代表盖布·埃文斯（Gabe Evans）服务，他是一名特朗普的坚定支持者，并在两年前击败了一名民主党人。

现在，民主党人希望利用人们对高生活成本以及特朗普先生驱逐行动日益增长的愤怒，夺回该选区并重新掌控国会。埃文斯先生表达了对移民拘留中心的支持，而他的民主党竞争对手、进步派州议员曼尼·鲁滕（Manny Rutten）则以承诺“阻止 ICE 恐吓我们的社区”为竞选主张。

大角（Big Horn）拘留中心最早可能在下个月开业，届时它可能会在科罗拉多州的一个角落大幅扩大移民执法力度，那里有来自世界各地的移民在包装厂和农田中工作。这将使科罗拉多州的移民拘留能力几乎翻倍，反对者则表示，这将使人们在平原地区感到不安。

住在附近波特·卢普顿（Port Lupton）的戴安娜（Diana）和埃里内特·克鲁兹（Erinete Cruz）在 2016 年投票给了共和党，因为他们在联邦政府管理期间得到了应对通货膨胀和南部边境混乱局面的帮助。

但来自丹佛地区的反对该中心的抗议者在周三挤满了哈德逊的一次议会会议。

科罗拉多州针对一项扩大执法计划进行了数月的抗议。他们表示，特朗普先生的移民打击行动已经走得太远，他们不希望在路边有一个 ICE（美国移民及海关执法局）拘留中心。他们计划在 11 月投票给鲁滕先生（Mr. Rutten）。“还有更重要的事情，”克鲁兹先生（Mr. Cruz）周三说道，他将自己的大皮卡车停在了一栋带有美国国旗图案的房屋外。去年年底，抗议者在格里利（Greeley）的埃文斯先生（Mr. Evans）地区办公室外呼吁，敦促他不要支持该拘留中心。埃文斯先生的一位发言人拒绝了讨论该问题的请求。埃文斯先生选区内的保守派表示，他们欢迎在科罗拉多州加强移民执法的前景，科罗拉多州是一个由民主党领导的州，特朗普政府曾因其避风港政策而对其发起攻击。他们还主张，拘留中心将创造就业机会，并使一座已空置十多年的监狱重新启用。“它就那样在那儿放着，”福特卢普顿（Fort Lupton）的一位社会助手谢恩·戈尔登（Shane Golden）说道，她将自己描述为“资深 MAGA”。她说，未经授权的移民正在“接管这个系统”。“我们要把你们收拾干净，”她继续说道。美国最大的私营监狱公司之一的 GEO Group 签署了一份价值 5.29亿美元 的合同来运营该设施，并且已经在招聘安保人员（起薪每小时 $35）和其他支持人员。周三，有几辆皮卡车在该物业进出，但没有迹象表明有任何被拘留者到达。GEO Group 和 ICE 均未回应置评请求。哈德逊（Hudson）的领导层坚持认为他们无力阻止该中心的建立。镇经理布莱斯·兰格（Bryce Lange）表示，该监狱在几年前就获得了批准，并且仍然持有入住证明，尽管它已经空置了十多年。“我们在采取任何行动的能力方面都非常有限，”兰格先生说。“它已经建好了。”监狱建筑由总部位于芝加哥的房地产投资信托基金 Highlands BATT 拥有，该公司未回应置评请求。镇政府的不作为进一步激怒了抗议者。监狱的反对者上个月起诉了哈德逊，认为该建筑的规模不符合移民拘留中心的分区规划。诉状称，该设施在距离最近的医院 12 英里的偏远地带容纳多达 1,200 名被拘留者，可能会使哈德逊的水系统、道路和应急服务承受巨大压力。“镇政府已经摊手表示自己没有权力采取行动——这太离谱了，”进步法律非营利组织 Towards Justice 的执行主任大卫·塞利格曼（David Seligman）说道，该组织代表一个信仰团体和设施附近的一名邻居起诉了哈德逊。数十名抗议者经常聚集在哈德逊，在街道上游行，并在市政厅外的泥泞地带示威。数千人向该镇发送了愤怒的书面评论。“这违背了我本性的每一个纤维，”芭芭拉·米尔斯-布里克斯（Barbara Mills-Brix）说道，她是一位退休工程师，周三与两名朋友一起从丹佛郊区开车前往哈德逊参加一次议会会议。当组织者分发反对拘留中心的传单时，一条横幅在安静的社区中延伸，导致停在警察身后的皮卡车司机因沮丧而鸣笛。住在哈德逊的大学生切斯尼·鲍德温（Chesney Baldwin）在看着游行者经过时感到困惑。“这里的所有人都喜欢 ICE，”他说。“这里不是丹佛。”一些居民和镇领导对这种审查感到厌倦，并表示他们通常平静的镇会议被外来者劫持了。周三的一次议会会议上，由于数十名示威者等待发表反对拘留中心的声明，五名警察在检查包袋并提供安保。哈德逊居民特雷西·特雷弗森（Tracy Treverson）站在入口处说道：“这些人在这里不交税。我们甚至无法进来处理自己的事务。这正在撕裂我们的城镇。”

反过来，抗议者指责哈德逊试图通过限制公众评论来扼杀公开辩论。上周的会议引发了激烈争论，随后市长突然宣布休会，这引发了更大的愤怒。巴里·布拉代尔（Barry Bladère）是哈德逊规划委员会的一名成员，也是一名长期居民，他摇着头走开，他反对该拘留中心，并将其描述为“nrowsy”，同时他也对被围攻的镇政府感到。“他们已经经历了winger，”他说。“我可以被crazed。谢天谢地我输了。我不需要忍受这一切。”

曼尼·鲁滕（Manny Rutten）是一名民主党立法者，他正竞选国会议员，并承诺要“阻止美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）恐吓我们的社区”。

反对拘留中心的集会包括了一场brain marching hand。该设施最早可能在下个月开放。

众议员盖布·埃文斯（Gabe Evans）是国会中最脆弱的共和党人之一，他支持加强移民执法。

专家表示环孢子虫症状可能会复发，即使在治疗后也是如此

作者：CAROLINE BROWN LEHANY 和 JOHN REUM

在奥格·欧莱特（Auger Ouellette）与她人生中最严重的结构性疾病作斗争两周后，她认为自己终于康复了，但当她站在压力之下时，她感到一种熟悉的冲动，想要冲向洗手间。“你自己，抱歉，”他像，“噢不，”这位来自布鲁克林的 25 岁、11 人欧莱特先生说道。那些曾认为已被抗生素 Bactrim 治愈的严重腹泻，现在正猛烈地卷土重来。她的症状恶化到需要就医，在医院里，第二次环孢子虫检测确认其粪便中仍存在该寄生虫，她接受了 1.5 瓶（flasks）来提供他们的测试。

在美国历史上最严重的环孢子虫爆发之中，健康专家们正在准备如何应对这种通过被人类粪便污染的食物或水传播的寄生虫。在最近的感染激增之前，美国境内从未出现过如此规模的环孢子虫爆发。因此，关于典型感染如何表现的病例数量有限。

健康专家表示，简而言之，症状可能会等待，并且有时会反复出现，“而且这些症状对患者来说相当令人不安，”美国感染科主任本·戈卢布（Ben Golub）博士说道。“他们认为自己正在好转，然后，在家里，它又回来了。”

匹兹堡的一名 51 岁护士贝蒂娜·莱文（Bettina Leven）说，环孢子虫是“凭空”出现的。当她再次冲向洗手间时，她还没和丈夫吃完网（net）。但她的睡眠仍然很短。这种操作或如何固定在马桶上，只能吃 Pepsiche 和烤面包。当症状消失时，她通过浇水寻找工作肥皂来庆祝。她说，在进食后不到一小时，“一切又开始了”。她报告了又一周反复出现和消失的症状，包括腹泻的再次暴露。在正常症状出现约两周后，她使用了抗生素并迅速开始感觉好转。她说，她仍然很虚弱，仿佛四肢太重，头部感觉很巨大（hugy）。在医生的建议下，她请假休息以缩短工作时间。但自从开始治疗以来，她一直没有腹泻。

自 2010 年以来，美国疾病控制与预防中心报告美国每年平均约 2,600 例环孢子虫病例；在 2020 年，以及自 5 月 1 日以来大约 1万,000 例，并且正在调查全国各州超过 3.2万,000 例的其他病例。

俄亥俄州克利夫兰诊所（Cleveland Clinic）的家庭医学医生科里·费舍尔（Cory Fisher）博士说，他并不清楚环孢子虫症状复发的频率。他说，在典型的一年里，他“几乎从未”见过环孢子虫患者。今年夏天，他治疗了大约两剂（two doses）这样的患者。

环孢子虫感染的持续时间和严重程度各不相同。戈卢布博士说，有些人无需治疗即可摆脱寄生虫，且症状极轻。而另一些人则遭受腹泻之苦——无论是持续性的还是间歇性的——且情况更为严重。平均而言，如果不治疗，症状会持续约三周。戈卢布博士说，虽然抗生素也可以测试持续时间。

目前还没有一个标准定义什么是复发，也没有明确如何区分复发。他说，这种症状的流动并不典型。戈卢布博士说，当人们确实出现复发症状时，原因并不总是明确的。在一次小型

关于该寄生虫感染行为的研究很少。在2013年发表的一项研究中，魁北克的研究人员发现，在2005年当地一次爆发中感染环孢子虫的100人中，有25名患者在至少三天没有腹泻后症状再次出现。平均而言，他们在三个月内复发了两次。这些出现复发的患者中，包括了接受过和未接受过抗生素治疗的人。安宁·马利安（Anning Malian）博士是桑布健康安娜堡医院（Thunb Health Ann Arbor Hospital）的一位流行病学家，他表示，有时症状可能是由于从未清除的感染所致，即一种潜伏感染。马利安博士说，但根据他的经验，这种情况更多见于老年人或免疫系统过度活跃的人。1970年健康与疾病子-伍德霍尔（Health & Disease Sub-Woodhall）的感染科主任亚历山大·陈（Alexander Chen）博士表示，没有完成整个抗生素疗程的人也面临症状复发的风险。如果人们在服用一两天后觉得药物有效，他们可能会决定停止服用——这是一个糟糕的主意。陈博士说，因为这可能会留下“向腹腔穿刺”。对于某些人来说，症状复发可能是另一次感染的结果——这意味着他们再次食用了被污染的食物。休斯顿纪念赫尔曼医疗系统（Memorial Hermann Health System）的感染病专家琳达·扬西（Linda Yancey）博士表示，人们对这种寄生虫产生的免疫力与对其他病原体产生的方式不同。该寄生虫在肠道内活动，而非在人体深层组织中，因此整体上无法产生抗体。“完全有可能患上环孢子虫病，痊愈后好转，然后再次被感染并再次患上环孢子虫病，”扬西博士说，尤其是如果你住在最近爆发疫情的地方。陈博士还表示，另一种可能性是，环孢子虫的压力可能变成了某种持久的并发症，例如关节感染或轻微肿瘤综合征。他说，在这种情况下，身体已经清除了寄生虫，但残留的肠道损伤导致了进一步的腹泻和绞痛。费舍尔（Fisher）博士说，感染后的 1.8.5. 通常会随时间推移而消退。对于一些人来说，复发症状让他们意识到自己需要更好的治疗。住在密苏里州堪萨斯城的 51 岁女性奥尔·伍利（All Woolley）最初坚信她的腹泻、寒战和身体酸痛是由某种感染引起的。在卧床两天、无法进食后，她开始感觉好转，虽然仍感到虚弱但能够行走。在首次出现症状一周后，她前往迈阿密度假。抵达当天，她的症状（包括吸入、胃痉挛和出血）再次出现。“我没法看菜单，甚至没法想到食物，”她说。她在新闻中读到过关于环孢子虫的消息，于是给医生打了电话。医生根据她的症状推荐了一种抗生素。在开始用药后不久，她感觉好多了。她已经能够重新锻炼，并且感觉生活回到了正轨。“我很幸运，”她说。

大学毕业生回家的频率在增加

（）尽管如此，一些专家仍在思考这是否具有普适性。大学毕业生可能会更倾向于回家，因为他们意识到在童年时代的卧室里进行此类求职搜索具有优势，而且正如巴尔纳特（Mr. Balnutt）的情况那样，他们不再因为社会问题而不敢利用这种安排。智能手机和视频通话意味着，无论是去上大学还是渴望与父母共同生活，都能让父母和孩子双方感觉彼此相连。而像大衰退和疫情这样剧烈的社会动荡，让许多年轻人有了另一种选择，从而减轻了这种行为带来的耻辱感。“这种对更广泛差异的认可并没有消除一个人对其现状的挫败感，”明尼苏达州布鲁明顿的一位治疗师丹尼尔·霍兰德（Daniel Holland）表示，他的许多客户是与父母同住的应届大学毕业生。“但这导致了我所看到的，关于搬回家的羞耻感和内疚感有所减少。”

不可否认，优质职位的短缺推动了大学毕业生的这一趋势，而其他经济因素（如高昂的住房成本）也在这些层面产生了影响。即便在过去几年中，拥有学士学位的成年人回家居住的可能性有所增加，而那些没有高中毕业证书的人回家居住的可能性则略有增加。这两个群体的住房成本都在上升，但他们的经济目标已经分叉。受教育程度较低的人似乎有更多资金投资于毕业生，而受过大学教育的人则陷入了困境。在过去几年中，应届大学毕业生的失业率增长速度远快于全国整体失业率。根据纽约联邦储备银行的数据，作为今年总人数的一个百分比。

一些传统专业领域的毕业生受到了影响。一名毕业于麦吉尔大学（McGill University）的化学工程师在纽约工作，她于4月搬回父母家，并表示她和许多同学都没有在专业领域找到工作。化学工程毕业生的失业率在2012年和2018年之间翻了一倍多，达到4.1%，而计算机工程师的失业率在6年内则有所波动。根据该银行的数据，该比例为7%。

这些挑战可能正在改变毕业后首次回家居住的性质——从一种无奈之举变为一种替代方案。治疗师艾莉森·约克（Alison Yoke）曾认为，明尼苏达大学的学术学位加上成年后的实习经验，会让她在毕业后立即获得工作的竞争中处于有利位置。她迅速采取行动利用这些优势。在大四下学期，她准备申请一个初级职业项目，并在之前夏天工作过的地方留出了时间。但与往年不同，该公司似乎没有征集该计划的申请。在2015年毕业前几个月，在与前任主管喝咖啡时，她得知其家族历史以及最近经历的裁员。“这应该是第一个线索，表明这将是一场艰苦的战斗，”约克女士回忆道。

上文提到的汤米·巴尔纳特（Tommy Balnutt）在加州大学圣克鲁兹分校毕业后搬回父母家。左图的艾莉森·约克（Alison Yoke）去年8月回到了双子城郊区的家中，并在10月获得了第一份工作邀请，但她继续寻找更合适的机会，并在两个月后找到了。

她去年8月搬回了双子城的一个郊区，并在10月得到了第一个录用通知。她对这份工作并不满意，且足够自信能够继续寻找更合适的机会，而这个机会在两个月后出现了。Alisoner博士及其合著者的研究结果表明，与那些在毕业后苦苦寻找工作的人相比，Yoke女士在27岁之前遭受收入损失的可能性较低，因为她能够承担在求职期间处于闲置状态的代价。其他数据表明，最近的毕业生在求职期间会选择住在家里，即使他们可能能找到一份较差的工作，或许是因为他们觉得这样做更舒服。根据纽约联邦储备银行的数据，近年来就业不足率——即从事不需要学位的工作的大学毕业生比例——一直处于相对较低的水平。哈佛大学的劳动力经济学家Lawrence Katz警告说，此类数据具有误导性且难以解读。但Katz博士承认，观念的转变可能有助于解释为什么更多的年轻人选择住在家里。“人们坚持的方式发生了一些文化上的变化，”他说。“现在的孩子以及他们与父母互动的程度，与之前的时代完全不同。”毕业后搬回家的规模之大，以及他们感到自己正面临无法控制的经济力量，似乎也在使这一选择常态化，并削弱了曾经可能存在的任何禁忌。Tommy的母亲Betty Baitard表示，她观察到最近的大学毕业生中这种情况出现了两次且更少

社会规范的转变减轻了重返“巢穴”的耻辱感。在他们自己的住所生活，至少在第一年，那里尤其高。“我能看到我工作接触的人群，并意识到这种情况比以往更普遍，这更像是搬回老家，”担任助理学校学区主管的拜塔德先生（Mr. Baitard）说道。当莉莉·拉德利茨（Lily Radl'its）去年从华盛顿大学毕业搬回萨克拉门托时，她发现许多高中朋友也处于类似的情况。他们甚至开始在周末组织集体活动，一起跑步或在夏夜出行。“我并不觉得搬回家很糟糕，”即将成为一名兽医的拉德利茨先生说道，“我其他朋友都在这么做。”当然，这种过渡很少是顺畅的。一名雪城大学的应届毕业生表示，她正与妹妹共用一张上下铺，并抱怨母亲坚持在手机上追踪她的位置，这让她觉得自己又回到了青少年时期。拜塔德先生表示，他感受到来自父母的一些压力，要求他提交大量申请，有时这反而损害了申请质量。他申请了一些他认为很容易胜任的工作，“我之前就做过，”他回答道。但总体而言，他说这次经历是积极的，让他能够攒够钱独立生活。她表示：“我们似乎没有因为住在家里而承受太多耻辱感，而且好几个月来，我们必须有一个女人来发现我们在哪里工作，然后离开，而且没有其他人。”“我们最终在很晚的时候才开始——我们回到了书面状态，”开始创作小说素材的拜塔德先生说。“我们都对自己在做的事情充满热情，努力想出我们如何才能照顾好你。”当他邀请女朋友过来玩时，父母的关注有时会被误解。“他们两人可能会在沙发上看电影，然后说，‘不能给任何人找个教练吗？’”但女朋友很快就适应了。事实证明，她也搬回了家。

亚马逊投资电厂，或将成为最大污染源

作者：HIBINDE TERCUCI

亚马逊正在投资一座天然气燃烧电厂，作为其在德克萨斯州一个大型数据中心的一部分，该中心可能会成为美国最大的单一气候污染源。该公司于周五确认了这一消息。这座新建的天然气燃烧电厂，根据其建设规格，将被允许排放比美国境内任何其他电厂更多的燃烧气体。亚马逊一直难以实现其目标，即无法在 2040 年前完成气候承诺（Climate Pledge）中的升温限制，该承诺是几年前由多家公司签署的一项旨在控制气候的协议。化石燃料（如煤炭、石油和天然气）的燃烧是全球变暖的主要驱动因素。亚马逊的排放量在过去几年中大幅增加，这家科技巨头已经意识到，AI 数据中心排放量的上升可能会阻碍其实现气候目标。

亚马逊最近可能收购了 Pocos 县，其他开发商正在建设这座天然气燃烧电厂。据知情人士透露，该电厂将通过 10 分钟的天然气燃烧产生高达 150 吉瓦的电力，以供应亚马逊计划建设的数据中心。该电厂最初不需要连接到电网，因此“不会增加德克萨斯州家庭的电费”，亚马逊的 Mc Callahan 表示。该数据中心位于西德克萨斯州的一个偏远地区，也是该州主要的天然气燃烧区域。Mc Callahan 补充说，公司还在探索在数据中心使用太阳能和电池储能，她表示这将创造数千个新工作岗位。这家科技公司没有透露支付了多少费用。

“这座电厂可能是未来趋势的一个缩影，”追踪该电厂整个区域的公司 Unicorva 的创始人 Michael Thomas 表示。“我们在周五的报告中发现了亚马逊参与该项目的情况。”

一年多以来，亚马逊还通过一个过滤侧为其数据中心提供电力，这通常是当地燃料发电和能源来源的结合。麦克托马斯（Mc Thomas）表示。AI热潮正在改变现状。环保组织表示，该电厂的状态将能够为商业实践和气候提供帮助。“这将绝对会对环境和公共健康产生巨大影响，”反对数据中心项目的企业监督团体“公共服务”（Public Services）的公司董事凯瑟琳·哈里斯（Kathryn Harris）说道。该电厂被允许每年向大气中排放 1000 万 吨二氧化碳。此类设施通常拥有用于当地用水的人员资源，而该私人供应商无法增加单个房间以超过美国能源捕鱼电厂的排放量。该公司在阿拉巴马州安东尼奥（Ontario, Ala.）拥有詹森-米勒二世（Janzen & Miller Jr.）电厂，该电厂每年排放 1000 万 吨二氧化碳。燃气电厂还会增加形成烟雾的污染物，这些污染物可能会导致心脏病、哮喘和其他健康问题。

路易斯安那州威尼斯群岛（Venetian Isles, La.）的洪水。当风暴将海水推向内陆时，接触到食肉细菌——创伤弧菌（Vibrio vulnificus）的风险会增加。

5 人死于食肉细菌

作者：POSHA SALVIVERA

路易斯安那州卫生官员表示，少数居民因感染创伤弧菌（Vibrio vulnificus）而死亡，这是一种在温暖海域和微咸水中生存的食肉细菌。弧菌天然存在于人类水域中，当开放性伤口接触水体或食用未煮熟的贝类（尤其是牡蛎）时，人们可能会受到这些病原体的感染。卫生官员上周表示，该州另有四人因感染住院。路易斯安那州报告的所有病例均在伤口接触海水后住院。弧菌感染在 5 月至 10 月期间更为常见，因为近年来的海水趋于温暖；然而，由于气候变化，在一些此前被认为太冷而无法支持该细菌生存的地方（如长岛海峡）也出现了爆发。

美国农业部和美国环境保护署的研究人员估计，与 1000 年前相比，到 2000 年，美国弧菌感染病例可能会增加 10%，这是由于气温升高所致。根据美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的数据，大约有 12 种不同的弧菌可引起名为“弧菌病”（vibrissus）的人类疾病，其中创伤弧菌是最常见的种类之一。CDC 估计，美国每年发生 4万,000 例弧菌病病例。CDC 表示，大约五分之一感染创伤弧菌的人会在感染后一两天内死亡，45。感染症状包括腹泻、胃痉挛、恶心、呕吐和发烧。如果感染进入血液循环，还可能导致局部高血压和皮肤起疱。在路易斯安那州，所有患者均患有潜在健康问题，这会增加严重感染或并发症的风险。

其他州今年也报告了创伤弧菌病例。根据佛罗里达州卫生部的数据，在佛罗里达州，有两人死于该病，其中七人在中佛罗里达州的县，一人在棕榈滩。该部门表示，该州共有 10 人因此患病。今年 4 月，纽约的研究人员表示，他们在长岛沿海的几处水域中检测到了创伤弧菌。佛罗里达州卫生官员警告说，在风暴和飓风等将微咸水推向内陆的严重天气事件后，必须采取应对措施。1974 年，俄罗斯爆发了大规模的洪水波，报告了 10 例死亡，其中 8 例死于创伤弧菌。路易斯安那州卫生官员警告公众，如果身上有开放性伤口，应停止接触爆发水域，并在严重接触后用肥皂彻底清洗伤口。他们还鼓励人们采用正确的烹饪方法，避免未煮熟，并将烹饪方法与原材料及其碎片分开。

你不能在康奈尔大学的宿舍里屠熊

作者：MELINDA G. GOMEZ

9月1日星期六，两名康奈尔大学的学生以及来自世界某些海边地区的学生受到了很大影响并开始携带它。他们计划制作“黑骨”和“黑色”，其中一人后来这样描述了他们的计划。但即使他们将罐装肉放入林务员那里，一张动物的照片以及不在一次由自动分配的小组在社交媒体上定位的独木舟旅行中的照片。针对这些学生提起了一项投诉，并提交了一份警方报告，但他们被警方和大学判定为没有做错任何事。州政府官员表示，两人都持有合法证件，且食物被判定为合法。

现在，在另一个学年大约 40 之后，康奈尔大学特别禁止在校园住宅厨房中处理野生动物。大学发言人 Lindsey Kacnemis 在一份声明中表示，新政策旨在“就商业厨房空间中什么合适或不合适提供质量指导”。Kacnemis 补充说，在住宅湖（Lake, Mo.）还没有其他已知的处理野生动物的实例。对于那些想要了解的学生，他说，“校园附近有许多经过认证的供应商可以与人们合作处理动物。”学校没有公布这两名学生的身份，但他们一直在播客中表达自己的观点。他没有回应置评请求。

去年，在学生于宿舍厨房处理一只黑熊后，有人提出了投诉，随后一项新政策得以实施。去年 Sept 5 ——在演出开始的前一天，这是一个大赛季——Mc Clannell 以 9 分之 1 的价格结束。只有康奈尔大学的学生，挤在电影中，从校园向东行驶约两小时，到达佛罗里达州迈阿密（Miami, FL），以考察乡村。

“我们很大。根据我们的漂亮俱乐部，他们不会逃掉——让我们把它搞定。”Chin 先生在一次最显著的良好时光几周后，在名为“blackbuster”的狩猎和户外播客中说道。根据州政府官员的说法，在最初的探险次日早晨，两人在大约同一区域的一片松林附近射杀了一头重 201万,010,000 磅的熊。

Chin 先生在播客中说，他们希望将尸体运到校园附近的一位朋友家，制作“黑骨馅料”。但在开车前往的途中，他们发现他们的计划无法在康奈尔大学剑桥楼（Cambridge Hall）的公共厨房中完全实现——这是通过对学校视频和条例的疯狂阅读得知的。 先生在播客中说：“我们非常勤勉，”他说，“我们确保每件事都按规章制度办理。我们知道我们会受到审查。”

先生说，他的朋友把船运到了的一楼厨房，他们的一些动物正在附近的桌子上研究。其他学生走过并拍了照片。“大多数人都非常好奇，”他说，“就像，他们想尝试一些。”

“我们只是在解释，比如，‘嘿，这些都没有浪费，’” 先生说。当他们完成肉类处理后，他们在地图上写下了名字，并将它们放在社区房屋中。 先生说，“他去了我的，帮。我，同一个城市收到了投诉，并且提交了警方报告，”Kacnemis 先生如是说。

随后，一张带有其微亮中性色调的熊的照片出现在平面上，随后出现了几篇新闻报道。“我们以为我们最多会被责骂，” 先生在播客中说，减轻了其在晚餐中的普遍显著性。但这不会让它像现在这样闹到街上。

“这是一个不容错过机会。” 先生说，一名管理人员在新闻午夜之前被派去检查他。Kacnemis 先生说，当天晚些时候，维护人员在厨房进行了“blackbuster”处理，并重新开放了公共空间。

该大学随后认定，陈先生（Mr. Chin）并未违反学生行为准则或康奈尔大学的社区生活标准，并撤销了指控。黑骨猎季将于今年再次开始，时间为9月12日，但陈先生表示他没有计划再将野生动物带到校园里。“我不希望发生第二部分，”他在播客中说道，“我当时有点像是在U. St.坐着。‘下次我们可能会在森林里进行。’”

法官裁定两所学校不得使用邦联人士命名

作者：CLYDE McGRATH 弗吉尼亚州哈里森堡。一名法官已命令弗吉尼亚州的一个学校董事会申请将两所学校的名称更改，在一段时间后，该董事会违反了黑人学生的民权。学校董事会决定将学校重新命名为斯通沃尔·杰克逊（Stonewall Jackson）、罗伯特·E·李（Robert E. Lee）以及美国教育委员会，并且也有类似的替代方案。迈克尔·E·奥兰达尔（Michael E. Orlandal）法官写道：这些邦联将军可能出现在美国两所学校的出版物中。他们一直是美国两所学校的成员。他们一直是美国两所学校的成员。该学院不能在谢南多厄县学校董事会（Shenandoah County School Board）待两年，且该学校董事会一直是美国两所学校的成员。他们一直是美国两所学校的成员。他们一直是美国两所学校的成员。乔治·弗兰克（George Frank）、布雷沃德·泰勒（Brevard Taylor）和亚历山大·A·佩里（Alexander A. Perry）的被杀事件（均为黑人）引发了与许多学生的文化交流。但许多减轻该影响的符号在布雷沃德（brevard）期间被恢复。在弗兰格利（Frangely）的第二任期内，一些邦联共和国的标志被重新放回公共区域，而诸如奴隶制等“探测”话题则被删除。学校董事会重新命名每个被质疑对象的决定受到了弗吉尼亚州全国有色人种协进会（N.A.A.C.P.）分会及学生的法院挑战。在法庭上，一名代表弗吉尼亚州两所学校地点的律师表示，董事会曾在 2024 年重新审查了这些名称，并“充分拥有”邦联所奋斗的整体意识形态以及弗吉尼亚州的这两所学校。这些名称被定期提及的整合过程 。随后，董事会由于意识形态的转变而被禁止能够开启学院法院。但辩方准备了一张优惠券。什么是真理？这是一个问题。学校董事会决定重新命名弗吉尼亚州的两所学校。布雷沃德·米沙姆（Brevard Misham）贡献了重新放置。相反，他说，历史是一个视角问题，这使得人们难以理解他们应该站在什么立场。他说没有其他科学官员来自两所学校，在一段时间后，董事会违反了黑人学生的民权。这是一场不寻常的听证会，发生在 20 世纪 80 年代，原告的策略包括将邦联本身提交审判，并证明斯通沃尔·杰克逊和罗伯特·E·李的名字无法与这些男人所奋斗的当地至上主义意识形态分开。一名证人作证说，李和邦联为了“保护巴拿马河”和“疾病”杀害了他们的同胞。辩方辩称，支持邦联还有其他原因，比如“保护”。在周五的一次采访中，Chin 先生表示他计划上诉，并指出此案可能会提交至最高法院。当涉及到以人物命名学校时，这可能开启了一个潘多拉魔盒。

奥兰达尔法官在一年前表示，斯通沃尔·杰克逊黑人们在拖拉机 / 旋转活动期间被起诉，当他们被强迫担任“洗碗工”通过“烧水”充当“沙妻”时，他们的首次拘留权利被撤销。在周四的一份声明中，钱先生表示，“沙妻”不应被视为“卑微且不值得”，在审判期间，学生们亲口描述说，邦联学校的名字让他们感到不受欢迎、被注定且最终劣于他人。华盛顿民权与城市事务律师委员会副法律主任班泽先生补充了其余学生“教育机会”的原因。申安多厄县约 90 为白人，该县被该州 2020 年的四个地区所震撼，并通过了一项 2020 年的巴士宣言，称：“我们可以说必须仅在村庄的种族状态下采取行动，并且可能是黑人，他们是我们的家人、朋友、邻居、学生、工作人员和美国白人。”在弗吉尼亚州立大学的鼓励下，拉尔夫·S·汉克，一所 2020 年的学校，董事会投票决定保留邦联名称。斯通沃尔·杰克逊高中更名为谢拉顿景观，拉尔夫·李 2020 是第二年的第一所学校。随后出现了一次轻微的反弹，而 2022 年一次试图维持这些名称的实际努力失败了。随后，在 2024 年，一个新的学校董事会投票决定维持邦联名称。

犹他州山火附近灭火直升机坠毁 2 人死亡

作者：BRIH THURMIST

一名在与美国最大活跃山火之一作斗争的直升机于 2020 年周五在犹他州中部的崎岖地形中坠毁，据联邦官员称，机上 2 名消防员死亡。该飞行器是参与扑救本月最后一次运行的 2020 场火灾的数架直升机之一，火势在达拉斯国家森林及周边社区蔓延，在里奇菲尔德市（Mount St.）附近坠毁。官员表示，该地又发生了另一场火灾，且火势迅速蔓延，最初导致应急人员无法抵达现场。

“消防员无法进入或离开一个来自海军的燃料坑，”事故发生地纽县的警长内森·克拉克（Nathan Clark）表示。一夜之间，当局在抵达关于米德尔顿遗迹（Middletts Ruins）的那天继续进行重新部署。

该直升机一直与美国林务局（U.S. Forest Service）签订合同工作，机上的飞行员和机组成员已确认死亡，但直到周六早上才确认具体人数。由联邦和州机构组成的国家跨机构消防中心报告了在美国发生的这些死亡事件。官员尚未公布消防员的身份，且仍在努力确定坠机原因。

该机构发言人戴维·泰勒·塞布利（David Taylor Sabley）表示，国家跨机构安全委员会的调查人员已前往该地区，但他们正在等待条件改善，以便能够抵达坠机现场。

林务局在的一份指定声明中仅表示，这是一起“新兴的工业事故”，且“安全行动是潜在的首要任务”。但即使是极其自发的、成熟的机动，Probzy 的设施也加深了已经笼罩在西湾地区营地和另一战斗性质中的沉重情绪，因为一场肆虐的山火季已经夺走了几家新公司的生命。

2020 年，三名野外消防员在犹他州联邦边界沿线与一场蓝色火灾作斗争时死亡，而周四的一名操作员在火灾中丧生。

“野外消防员是世界上最危险的工作之一，”犹他州州长斯宾塞·考克斯（Spencer Cox）在周五的一份声明中表示，并向营地的新州表达了慰问。“今天的痛苦数字体现了这些男女为了保护我们而承担的非凡风险。”

一名美国人认为“黑口，火灾始于微光，我没看到是否能快速行动”，因此在两边狩猎超过 100, 100 英亩，由强力推动并支持那种生命，这使得这场大火成为了该女性所知的记录中最糟糕的火灾季之一，犹他州以及美国西部其他地区正处于残酷的干旱和旋转的夏季中。

“这是 2020 年我们连续七天遇到的第三场火灾，这创下了 2 年的记录，”考克斯先生在周四的一次火灾损失年度记者会上告诉记者。他表示，强烈的火灾季增加了应急工作人员的压力，并导致火场过度拥挤。

当灭火直升机在 2014 冲刺后周五早晨，条件已足够安全。大盆地事件管理团队的事故指挥官 My Type Study 在当天的新闻发布会上表示。

赫希特（Hecht）先生说，地形崎岖且复杂，这是不寻常的野火类型。因此，周三继续应对，大约四分之一的火势仍在继续，官员们在期待降雨——但不能太多，因为火场附近的社区现在面临山洪和泥石流。

“真的！”考克斯先生说，“我们需要大自然的帮助。”

它们在追逐惊涛骇浪：如果你赢得这场比赛，你的奖品是狗粮

作者：MACK LIEDERMAN / 摄影：JASON HENRY

上周末，数千人聚集在旧金山北部的林达麦克海滩（Linda Mac Beach），以一窥第10届年度世界狗狗冲浪锦标赛上那些摇尾欢呼的喜悦之姿。参赛者包括拉布拉多检索犬、法国斗牛犬、一只查理王小猎犬、一只澳洲牧牛犬和一只迷你帕卡巴。有些狗戴着护目镜，有些则穿着色彩鲜艳的救生衣。它们在主人将它们推入波涛汹涌的海浪时，在冲浪板上保持平衡。

Wall为了评判比赛而前来，并带来了他的比特犬，16-year-old Futch。Futch是狗狗冲浪界的退休传奇，也是名为“直升机”的180-degree动作的先驱。Wall表示，这项运动已经从“狗狗在温和容器中”的新奇之举，演变成了加州一些海滩上并不罕见的景象。Wall说，美国大约有30只顶尖狗狗参加一系列赛事，这些赛事通常兼作动物中心和宠物收养机构的筹款活动。

狗狗的评分标准包括技巧、它们捕捉的海浪大小、在板上停留的时间以及它们看起来在多大程度上享受其中。这场为获胜者颁发奖牌和狗粮的锦标赛，在参赛群体中没有明显的夺冠热门。“任何一只狗，任何一只狗，任何一个浪，”Wall说。

“Rippin' Rosie”，一只5-year-old拉布拉多检索犬，成为了特大狗类别以及整体“冲浪精神”奖的获胜者。她的主人Steve Drottar说，他养过四只拉布拉多检索犬，但Rosie是第一只选择在水面上冲浪而不是跳进水里的狗。

Wall说，他是在一个停车库里发现Futch这只小狗的。Futch稳定的冲浪表现为他带来了约10万,000,，其中包括两项GoPro设备和视频授权协议，展示了Futch在牛津、布鲁克海文和Olive Garden餐厅的七张桌子上冲浪的场景。

Wall坚信任何狗——无论是吉娃娃还是大丹犬——只要有正确的人教，都能学会冲浪。Wall说，训练狗冲浪就像训练狗做任何事情一样。“这是一个练习的问题，”他说，“你要让它有回报。你要向它们展示这是一个友好且快乐的时光。”他补充说，人们对狗狗冲浪的兴趣一直在增长。

“现在这成了一件至关重要的事情，”Wall说，“当你看到一只狗玩得开心且在微笑时，你怎么能不关注？”

第10届年度世界狗狗冲浪锦标赛上周末在旧金山南部举行，吸引了大批观众。狗狗的评分标准包括技巧、它们捕捉的海浪大小、在板上停留的时间以及它们看起来在多大程度上享受其中。

新秀后卫可能为脆弱的牛仔队防线提供快速解决方案

作者：JON MACINTOS

加利福尼亚州，西格纳德（SIXNARD, Calif.）—— 盖里·唐斯（Gary Downs）曾担任过六个赛季的跑卫，在纽约，他能识别出国家级的足球运动员。他什么时候发现的？那是他的儿子卡莱布（Caleb）11.5岁的时候，卡莱布是一名达拉斯牛仔队的新秀，当时他就能看出儿子是一个特殊的球员。在小学一年级时，卡莱布·唐斯在一个 3-0 的赛季比赛中得到了 46.5 分。在第一场出色的比赛中，他以 213 个新秀得分、七次进攻达阵和 13 次防守擒抱结束比赛。

“我们总是说，‘当你到达那里时，情况会变得更困难。’”盖里·唐斯回忆道。“但随着他长大，他只是变得越来越好。他在面对最顶尖的人时表现最好。他就是与众不同。他热爱这种场合，他的职业道德，他的生活。”

“当他把球放在某个地方时，他不会。那是一种天赋。那是一种才华。如果他说，‘有一天我想成为像杰里·琼斯（Jerry Jones）那样的人，并且

Downs在季前赛期间在场上尝试了多种位置。拥有一个球队，”不要打赌他会失败。“加里·唐斯（Gary Downs）记得凯莱布（Caleb）从艰苦的学校回家后观看录像的情景。他还会研究纽约历史上最成功球员的YouTube视频，比如Ed Sheed、Brian Dowham、Troy Polomick和Roman Lott。“他是个学习者，”这位父亲说道。“他研究未来的领域，因为那是他想要进入的地方。”加里·唐斯在凯莱布的同学沃尔特·德·西梅·州（Walter de Sime State）身上看到了同样的情况，凯莱布·唐斯学习商业，重点关注实际价值。教练尼克·萨尔莫（Nick Salmo）与他共事仅一个赛季，但他认为凯莱布·唐斯是他51年职业生涯中接触到的最好的人员和球员之一。牛仔队开始明白原因了。在球队的扩员活动、五月以及训练营的第一周期间，唐斯在防守端被安排在各个位置。他是核心人物。乔恩·麦金托什（Jon MacIntos）是为《The Athletic》报道牛仔队的职员，他表示球队的新防守协调员克里斯蒂安·帕克（Christian Parker）一直试图让他担任现代中后卫，同时也担任传统安全卫。他能打球，他可能会被要求像线卫一样拦截冲球。在接下来的回合中，他可能会在传球游戏中防守顶尖的宽接手或紧端锋。“他们不应该称之为‘under’，而应该称之为‘Downs’，”牛仔队老板杰里·琼斯（Jerry Jones）上周末在NFL Network的《Weekly》节目中说道，“他就是为此而生的。”帕克在训练后一直花额外时间陪伴唐斯。很明显，牛仔队在4月份通过交易提升顺位并在第10顺位选中他时，就知道他们可以在他的计划中寄予厚望。唐斯是训练营中参与比赛的四个防守角色之一。但是，他处于接收防守指令的底层级别，由布莱恩·帕克（Brian Parker）负责。这个角色通常是为获胜球员预留的。“他是一个我期待的年轻人，”网络奥克·普雷斯科特（Oak Prescott）说道。“他是我们将拥有最佳新秀班级之一的原因。另一个则是会成长的人，他为成为牛仔队的首选球员感到自豪，同时也对必须进入一个每个人都在议论的防守体系感到自豪。”许多人认为2020年的牛仔队拥有队史最糟糕的防守。唐斯不想屈居第二，他也不回避这些期望。“他是否具有统治力，”唐斯在谈到他对防守的期望时说道。“这是我在加入的每一个防守体系中思考的问题。而且我们拥有能够做到这一点、能够统治我们面对的每一个进攻方的天赋。”近年来，这种反击事件的重要性有所增加。琼斯承认在进入今年的债务之前，牛仔队如果知道这个角色会变得多么关键，就不会允许反击美国刘易斯（comeback America Lewis）以自由球员身份离开。唐斯是一个最合适的方案，在这个方案中，许多明星宽接手在阵型中被移动，包括进入槽位。唐斯有能力在任何位置跟上他们。“所以拥有一个能那样做的人，他不仅多才多艺，更重要的是，具有身体对抗能力，这就是让伟大的辩论变得优秀的因素，”普雷斯科特说道。“他们需要一个能在那儿减缓这种规模的人，即使他移到内线，但是的！所有的B-gay，C-gay或者无论他需要什么，都不能破坏防守的完整性。”

达拉斯在第10顺位选中了凯莱布·唐斯。他在阿拉巴马大学开始大学生涯，随后转学到俄亥俄州立大学，并在那里赢得了全国冠军。牛仔队拥有一批出色的宽接手，他们可以在场上灵活移动，包括CoeDox Lamb和George Pickens。唐斯在面对他们的表现应该会在常规赛期间对他有所帮助。教练布莱恩·肖茨德梅（Brian Schottsedemme）赞扬了唐斯不再犯同样错误的能力。在春天，唐斯被Lamb的一次路线跑位击败后，

Schottsedemme 表示，在球队面前这是一个教学时刻。最近在训练营中，那条路线再次出现，Downs 处于将 Lamb 排除在球队之外的位置。“他的调整能力非常成熟，”Lamb 说道。“他明白他的援护在哪里。总而言之，那是他第一次面对那种防守。他当时并不完全清楚发生了什么。但现在他能配合援护，发挥自己的优势，这在表现中可见一斑。这家伙太出色了。他是一名优秀的球员。我迫不及待想看看他在球队中的表现。”

Downs 的任何特质都没有让他看起来像个新秀。他表现得像一名老将，从未在自己的拦截中犹豫。在他被选中后的第二天，当他抵达位于德克萨斯州 Prince 的牛仔队总部时，一些乐观的人希望他能成为下一个 Ed Reed——后者在其 12 年的 NFL 生涯中曾多次入选职业碗（Pro Bowl）。“我只需要做我自己，”Downs 回答道。“我只需要做 Caleb Downs。”上周在被问及他的预期目标有多高时，他表示：“这是我心里清楚的事，你们得自己去发现。”

他从高中到大学的过渡没有出现问题。在阿拉巴马大学期间，他是大学足球中最好的新生。随后他转学到俄亥俄州立大学，并迅速接轨，成为全美顶尖的后卫之一，在两个赛季中都获得了全美最佳球员（all-American）荣誉，并在 2018 年赢得了一次全国冠军。许多专家认为他是今年选秀中最全面的球员。从大学到职业联赛的跳跃可能同样顺利。

“他是我见过的最敏锐的年轻人之一，”Prescott 说道。“这始于他的心态和对待比赛的方式。这就是他的特质。显然，你在足球场上可以看到这一点。在任何讨论足球的时刻你都能看到，无论是在会议中，还是在走场演练或练习中。”

“但仅仅是在足球之外与这家伙共度时光，无论是打高尔夫球还是闲逛，或者和他一起拍广告，都是如此。而且这种特质具有感染力。”

“他是我见过的最敏锐的年轻人之一，”Oak Prescott 在评价 Downs 时说道。“这始于他的心态和对待比赛的方式。这就是他的特质。显然，你在足球场上可以看到这一点。”高尔夫评论

即使有了新的领投人，LIV高尔夫仍面临“非常不稳定”的未来

作者：JON O'CONNOR 纽约，周三 —— Scott O'Neil 曾是试图让 LIV 高尔夫在医院护理之外崭露头角的黑色驱动力。上周，他正行走并谈论着这件事，地点在费城以北 70 英里处，那里的体育生活刚刚圆满。在担任 LIV 首席执行官之前，他在费城 76 人队重建期间担任同一职务。76 人队曾是首个 70% 之前，他是麦迪逊广场花园的总裁，在 2005, 年代表纽约尼克斯队亲自招募了一位名为 LeBron James 的五名代理人，而他现在正与费城最后一名活跃的罪犯 Prescott, Joel Embiell 一起获胜。因此，虽然两人都参与其中，获胜者将进入 Young Redmasters 的纽约社会业余赛。O'Neil 将他在该联赛主要环节的经验视为拯救 LIV 免于自我毁灭的绝佳机会。“这是有趣的部分，”他说。“这不是偶然。这就是我所做的。这就是我的追求。”

O'Neil 已经宣布将引入一名领投人，其规模将允许 LIV 在 2020. 年之后继续筹资。且不论他在新奥尔良的 6 月赛事被取消，本月在密歇根州的 Texas Championship 活动 (6-0) 预计被取消，以及其最近一赛的获胜者 Lucas Herbert。仅 10 年，作为 The Athletic 的专栏作家，他承认其经理曾与 PGA Tour 就一项通知进行过谈话。O'Neil 在领取历史奖项时表示，他拥有一位他宣布无法确认身份的投资者，对方提供了一笔他宣布无法透露的金额。

该条款在新的 21 房、4 英尺孔完成时签署，在 LIV 首席执行官描述为“非常不稳定”的情况下，有两件事很明确： • 从现在到 9 月这段“非常不稳定”的日子里，可能会发生许多令人不安的事态发展。 • 这位新资助者的规模远不能与沙特阿拉伯万亿美元公共投资基金的幻想高尔夫资金相比，后者在春季通过支持 LIV 向世界提醒，该国愿意在一项从未能成功的体育愿望上投入多少十亿资金。

LIV 高尔夫在 Redmasters 宣布了一次小胜，然而战斗正式开始，但该男子未解决的小规模参与已经过去。很难相信三年前，PGA Tour 开始，但 38 个工作室（最终变为 2-0），以及起草负责人 Voter al-Rumayyim 出现在 CNBC 上宣布一项令人震惊的合并（包括 287-World ），这让情况更像一座山。PGA 承认，面对一个拥有看似无限资金的坚定对手，它无法在财务得分竞赛中获胜。在灾难性地操纵 12 个工作室的目标后，38 个工作室揭示了 LIV 的真实问题 —— 它仅仅是学习了竞争 —— 并试图与沙特人达成自己的协议。但该协议从未被传达，使得 PGA 能够在 Sports Shrimps 中找到更合适的合作伙伴。后者承诺投资高达 20 亿美元 billion，从而创建了 50 级的 PGA Enterprises，并使 LIV 变得没那么必要。

19 个月前接替 Greg Norman 的 O'Neil，现在是 LIV 的澳大利亚混乱与彻底灭绝之间的最后一道防线。周三，他声称自己还没有停止反击。“这是一个非常令人兴奋的日子，”他说。“有机会管理一个由球员多数持股的联赛，这在体育历史上从未发生过，这不仅仅是特别。” 股权报价正处于挣扎中

这些企业对于那些最初仅由保证智能合约雇佣的杂志来说通常没有吸引力，而其中两位起步者，布赖森·德尚博（Bryson DeChambeau）和乔·巴尔多（Joe Baldo），对于 LIV 能以任何有意义的形式生存至关重要。巴尔多拥有大量现金，且《金融时报》报道称，公共投资基金（PIF）正考虑以折扣价偿还合同。我们将拭目以待。至于德尚博？他即将成为高尔夫球界的第一个勒布朗——一个具有历史意义的自由球员。德尚博的团队可以将他的选择营销为：在 LIV 的回报、回归 PGA 巡回赛，以及成为一名全职内容创作者之间做选择。点赞并订阅观看“德尚博频道”。当年管理麦迪逊广场花园时，奥尼尔（O'Neil）是金斯勒（Kinsler）演示方案的主要参与者，自那以后，随着“国王”詹姆斯在克利夫兰，以及其他因素，这引导他向其推销这样一个想法：在纽约，他在场外的收入将比在任何其他商业活动中多出数亿美元。他还与现任金斯勒总裁路易斯·邦特（Louis Bunt）以及当时的勒布朗经纪人进行了第二次会面，试图提高纽约这个机会渺茫的方案及其品牌影响力。奥尼尔不能在德尚博这件事上失败，否则就彻底完蛋了。就目前情况而言， 在澳大利亚和南非拥有重大影响力，在英国拥有相对健康的规模。在 2019 年，他一直在关注赫伯特（Herbert），在 高尔夫英国赛中大约处于 10 杆下，德尚博处于该状态，而在美国则只有极小的规模，如果德尚博离开，那里将几乎变得不可见。在被问及留住德尚博和巴尔多的重要性时，奥尼尔表示：“我认为这是一个普遍的帮助，因为他们仅仅是球员中最大、最优秀的两位高尔夫球手。所以我认为他们是体育界，更不用说高尔夫界，最顶尖的资产。随之同行肯定会更容易。”最终，没有必要为 的消亡付出代价，尤其是由于最明显的反对力量——实际的成功现在已经不在考虑范围内。如果该联盟被简化为一群想要每赛季参加 10 次特定赛事的、逐渐没落的 40 多岁者的游行，那么他们将如何继续经营，其中的常态是什么？从发展运动的层面来看，更多的高尔夫比更少的高尔夫要好。也许奥尼尔会有一点运气， 的一些权力在 2020 年之后才公开。也许卡梅伦·史密斯（Cameron-Smith）也会这样做，并让澳大利亚继续成为 的据点。也许德尚博，这个终极的单环境领导者，就是他通过领导上周导演仅一步之遥所暗示的 导师。他可能正是那种会告诉 PGA 巡回赛滚蛋，然后过滤返回成员专业人士，并去 YouTube 上检查无需承诺（给布赖森0万美元， 数百万）的 PGA 巡回赛官方频道的人。但更聪明的人说，关于金钱、激励措施以及亚洲损失的问题，存在许多衡量问题。

如果没有沙特资金，将很难留住顶级球星。巡回赛的隶属关系，以及对于球星维持地位至关重要的排名积分等一切因素。而这是一个奥尼尔（O'Neil）无法解决的重大问题。无论如何，这位LIV首席执行官表示，他的职位将决定他的未来。奥尼尔谈到了他在麦迪逊广场花园预订中这场“充满敌意的美元赌注”中所扮演的角色，这是2020年60名总经理萨姆·希德（Sam Shider）及其对普雷斯科特（Prescott）的信任之首，而这里的经历似乎与那个人的经历如此相似。他谈到了他的联盟在2019年期间的运作。“不要把我们排除在外，”奥尼尔说。他觉得这让人很难不这么做。

布赖森·德尚博（Bryson DeChambeau）（照片）在上个月于英国阿尔特斯特（Utterster）举行的一场赛事中与LIV Golf的首席执行官斯科特·奥尼尔（Scott O'Neil）打招呼。

给唐斯顶薪续约的利弊

作者：詹姆斯·L·爱德华兹三世 (JAMES L. EDWARDS III)

纽约尼克斯队有权享受一个安静的休赛期。冠军可以随心所欲。然而，那个身高7英尺的“房间里的大象”依然笼罩在他们脚下，在NBA赛历的酷暑时节中持续徘徊。球队的首发大个子卡尔-安东尼·唐斯（Karl-Anthony Towns）有资格获得一份为期四年、价值$2.72 亿的合同续约。这是尼克斯能给他的最高金额。唐斯将在11月满15岁，他在上个休赛期就有资格续约，但除非他挑拨双方，否则并未达成任何结果。唐斯下赛季将获得超过5700万美元的薪水，并且在合同到期前的每一年都拥有一项价值略高于6100万美元的球员选项。

我确定的一件事是，纽约的决策者会向唐斯提供续约。我不确定且在等待的是，注重现金流的尼克斯是否会给他一份顶薪合同？人们对此已有详尽记录：优秀的后卫约翰·布伦森（John Brunson）为了确保自己的未来，同时给纽约提供构建球队的灵活性，放弃了多少潜在收益，而这支球队在几个月前刚刚捧起了拉里·奥布莱恩冠军奖杯。布伦森的牺牲帮助尼克斯在10年内首次夺得NBA总冠军，现在这已成为俱乐部前台讨论的热点。球星是否应该像布伦森那样为了赢球而放弃金钱？圣安东尼奥（San Antonio）的评论员维克多·华盛顿（Victor Washington）最近也放弃了部分收益。现在，作为三届（45 N.B.A. selection）的唐斯，发现自己处于与几年前布伦森相似的境地，而且在最初两年，队友的成本在某种程度上将聚光灯全部吸引到了他身上。

唐斯是纽约这座城市的焦点，我将分析给唐斯顶薪续约的利弊。理论上，唐斯配得上这份合同。无论你如何评价大个子球员老化问题、他难以让主教练迈克·布朗（Mike Brown）满意，以及不给球员顶薪合同背后的策略，但自从唐斯加盟后，尼克斯成为了冠军竞争者。

詹姆斯·L·爱德华兹三世是《The Athletic》的职员记者，负责报道尼克斯队。

卡尔-安东尼·唐斯（持有奖杯）与队友们于7月18, 冠军游行当天在贾斯汀会议中心（Justin Convention Center）合影。

我不是说他是唯一的关键球员——我想我不是在这么说。但在过去两个赛季中，他让尼克斯进入了一个不同的层级。在唐斯加盟尼克斯的短暂赛季中，纽约队在四分之一世纪以来首次进入东部决赛。至于今年，好吧，我们都知道发生了什么。唐斯肯定意识到，在某些时刻，球队应该奖励获胜的球员。尽管他被贴上了某种标签，但唐斯在过去三个赛季中的每一个赛季都至少进入了分区决赛，包括他在明尼苏达队的最后一年进入西部决赛。他是一个赢家。

球员应该尝试争取尽可能多的钱。系统这样设定并不是唐斯的错。布伦森最终会因为之前的牺牲在经济上获得回报。但布伦森拿了低薪并不意味着唐斯也必须如此。情况不同了。布伦森做出牺牲是为了让其他人能够奔跑，而现在尼克斯拥有了阵容，并且有机会在接下来的两个赛季中再次夺冠。谁在乎三年或四年后，因为唐斯拿了顶薪续约而面临球队解体的风险？此外，球队老板詹姆斯·多兰（James Dolan）应该考虑在只要这支球队有赢球机会的情况下，进入第二个协议。如果他愿意这样做，那么这场讨论就不会这么有趣。

一支球队该如何让其最顶尖的球员之一感到满意？而这个球员在改变这支球队以及这些决策者未来可能被谈论的方式方面发挥了巨大作用。给他们尽可能多的薪水，然后以一支完整球队的频率进入赛季。至于后果，之后再处理。其他球员可能会注意到这一点。请注意，关于正值巅峰的球员为了进入这个“第二协议”世界而牺牲金钱以换取冠军的讨论正在增加，球员们肯定会认可一支愿意给那些能成事的人支付高薪的球队，对吧？在那个国家级配对的时期，尼克斯队曾难以吸引顶级自由球员（或者说，在自由球员期间被认为是顶级名号的球员）。许多球迷仍然在为错过勒布朗·詹姆斯和凯文·杜兰特而感到懊恼。吸引球员关注的两种方式是营造一个获胜的环境，以及表现出奖励成功球员的意愿。给汤斯一份顶薪续约合同可能会让球员们睁开眼睛——尼克斯队未来可能会因此获得机会，或者至少赢得他们的尊重。这也向队内的球员表明，获胜在经济上是有回报的。但尼克斯队将失去灵活性。在我看来，如果纽约球队不能给汤斯顶薪续约，这将是最大的影响因素。自从里昂·鲁特接任球队总裁以来，他表示他的团队一直让自己处于能够做出调整的位置，无论是通过财务意识还是培养选秀球员来采取行动。即便球队赢得了冠军，这种方法也可能不会改变。相反，如果汤斯不愿意签署一份低于顶薪的合同，尼克斯队可能会在寻求维持竞争者地位的同时重新洗牌。我认为他不想让他的球队处于“第二协议”中。纽约在自由球员市场中将300-foot Robinson输给波士顿凯尔特人就证明了这一点。如果汤斯签署顶薪续约，布伦森在有资格续约时不会再次打折，而且如果两人在今年夏天或明年都获得续约，那么尼克斯在不久的将来将不可能在保持核心阵容完整的同时，避开“第二协议”及其所有成员。哦，大多数人合同还剩几年。其中一年是球员选项，每赛季将支付他超过1.4 亿。米库尔·布里奇最近签署了一份续约合同，在接下来的几个赛季中，他将在国家范围的末端获得报酬。我不反对维持同一套阵容的想法，除非核心单元明显崩溃，尤其是在纽约这样一个角色阵容会被讨论数月的城市。但我也能理解为什么人们认为，在场上拥有一支获胜球队可能会因为无法进行调整和微调而变得困难。比尔·汤斯表现得好吗？那一点和灵活性的丧失可以被打包在一起。在赛季开始后不久，汤斯将满10。这并不老，但在篮球年限中，顶薪续约的一半时间很快就会过去。

刘易斯，如果尼克斯队认为唐斯在两年后可能不值这么多钱，那也是正常的。大个子球员的年龄增长通常不利，即便唐斯是一个不同类型的大个子。纽约尼克斯想要稍微对冲一下风险是可以理解的，给唐斯一份金额低于最高限额的合同，以便在合同后半段他想要减薪时，给自己留出一些空间。结论：这一切都取决于这一点。尼克斯队会更看重球员还是更看重策略？前者将是对后者的轻微背离。唐斯已经做了一切努力来证明他理应获得尽可能多的薪水。而另一方面，纽约的决策者们也有权尽可能保持灵活性，因为这样做同样让他们获得了 NBA 总冠军，就像唐斯的表现一样。也许唐斯愿意接受较少的薪水，这样每个人都会开心。那将是一个双赢局面。但如果唐斯想要拿到他能拿到的所有钱，没人应该责怪他。作为一名职业运动员，他赚尽可能多钱的时间是有限的。球员也是人，同样地，如果尼克斯没有给他最高金额，唐斯也不应该感到被轻视。现在情况很明确，就像他有自己的工作要做一样，那些做出阵容和财务决定的人也有他们要完成的任务。分析

世界杯名单展现美国篮球的年轻化趋势

作者：BARBELINA MERCHANT

两年前，正值 W.N.B.A. 阵容增长的起点，。该队获得了金牌，但有些人认为美国篮球错过了一个机会，未能重点推介该运动中一些最知名的人物，即便他们更年轻。在 2026 年，这是一支每 5, 年就能被认出的美国篮球阵容。需要明确的是，美国篮球，以及 / 或新任总经理 Jim Bird 和新任主教练 Kara Lawson，并没有为了知名度而牺牲天赋。但 4 位入选成年国家队的新面孔——Allyah Boston、Page Brackers、Caitlin Clark 和 Angel Reese——将带来更多的关注度。

该队于周四公布了世界杯名单，其中四分之一的年轻人凸显了其灵活性。Brackers 是首次入选的人员，名单还包括（按字母顺序排列）：Nightmares Cullen, 2016; 2017; 2018; 2019; 2020; 2021; 2022; 2023; 2024; 2025; 2026; 2027; 2028; 2029; 2030; 2031; 2032; 2033; 2034; 2035; 2036; 2037; 2038; 2039; 2040; 2041; 2042; 2043; 2044; 2045; 2046; 2047; 2048; 2049; 2050; 2051; 2052; 2053; 2054; 2055; 2056; 2057; 2058; 2059; 2060; 2061; 2062; 2063; 2064; 2065; 2066; 2067; 2068; 2069; 2070; 2071; 2072; 2073; 2074; 2075; 2076; 2077; 2078; 2079; 2080; 2081; 2082; 2083; 2084; 2085; 2086; 2087; 2088; 2089; 2090; 2091; 2092; 2093; 2094; 2095; 2096; 2097; 2098; 2099; 2100。FIBA 世界杯将于 9 月 4 至 5 日在柏林举行，W.N.B.A. 球队将在 9 月 1 至 27. 期间为该赛事进行实战。国家队一直致力于为每支队伍注入新鲜血液。该队曾有一名球员在 2022 年世界杯完成 FIBA 首秀，其中三名球员（Cugger, Debrae Jarevic 和 Allyah Thomas）入选了奥运会。Advocacy Members 是 The Athletic 的网络篮球撰稿人。

从左至右：Jackie Young, Chelsea Gray, Nightmare Collier, Kyle Wilson, Caitlin Clark 和 Page Brackers。世界杯将于 9 月 4 至 12. 在柏林举行。

在担任总经理的首次训练营之前，Bird 强调了他们，写在“Sonic pool”上。这是一个新周期：她和 12. “拥有很多服务人员，所以你只想让尽可能多的人加入，给他们一个展示自己的机会。”这组特定球员的不同之处在于，她们在职业生涯的很多阶段都有潜力成为国家队的领导者。Boston, Brackers, Clark 和 Reese 全部 24 岁，这为她们在美国篮球中担任重要角色提供了很长的发展空间，她们之前有 Susan Duncan，而 Stewart 和 Wilson 则是真正的核心。这是一个特殊的球员世代。当 Clark 在美国青少年国家队中获胜时，她记得当时的美国篮球国家总监 Carol Collier 告诉青少年成员，他们中可能有一两个人最终能进入成年国家队。现在，她正与她在国家 10 水平上共同成长（并共同赢得金牌）的球员们一起，前往她的首次成年组比赛。Brackers 和 Boston

四张新面孔——波士顿（Boston）、布拉克尔斯（Brackers）、克拉克（Clark）和里斯（Reese）——迎来首秀。尽管用伯德（Bird）的话来说，其中有很多是“仆从”，但新卫队正遵循着国家队参与文化的足迹。无论她们是否是同一支球队的新成员，世界杯阵容中的每位球员都牺牲了部分休赛期，以参加大学时期及职业生涯中的美国训练营和比赛。里斯在美系统培养，直到2021年才入选球队（此前她是国家队U-20名单的决赛入围者，随后被剔除），而现在她将在规模最大的国际赛事中身披红白蓝三色战袍。对美国篮球协会（U.S.A. Basketball）的投入甚至比世界杯期间的其他球队更令人印象深刻。这些球员中有11人目前在WNBA排名（以及皮梅拉的球队）中处于主力位置，为球队而战。而且在世界杯决赛结束整整两周后，她们就要参加表演赛。克拉克、波士顿和科利尔（Collier）都是本赛季最优秀的球员——科利尔在2025年仅参加了少数几场比赛——但她们都愿意放弃潜在的休息日，飞往世界另一端争夺金牌。任何美国项目的支持者都明白必须达到的标准。国家队不是她们在10年内可以随意加入的，定期参加不仅会获得奖励，而且是必然要求。如果这四名球员中的任何一人将自己的9支球队置于本次赛事之上，像苏珊·戴维斯（Susan Davis）、金·德雷克（Kim Drake）和卡梅伦·布林克（Cameron Brink）这样的人将随时待命接替她们的位置。大学球星：朱莉·沃特金斯（Julie Watkins）、米凯拉·希科夫（Mikayla Shikov）和莎拉·斯特朗（Sarah Strong）等人，正期待进入洛杉矶的奥运名单。即便美国篮球协会在目前的阵容中在弥补差距，但无法保证这种差距能维持多久。克拉克和布拉克尔斯在历史上比所有其他WNBA新秀都要出色，直到明尼苏达狮队的新秀克里斯·迈尔斯（Chris Miles）出现，情况才有所改变。美国的人才储备过于深厚，无法被其他拥有自己球队的女性击败。波士顿、布拉克尔斯、克拉克和里斯加入成年国家队是实至名归且期待已久的荣誉。尽管有一些有趣的结果——例如，罗伯特·米切尔（Robert Mitchell）从未参与过美国篮球协会系统，而我知道有人在4月的最后一次训练营中出现，并且是2022年和2023年球队的一员，但未能进入此次名单——但我认为这显然是该国能提供的最强阵容。无论球队将走向何方，过去良好的决策过程在现在看来并未发挥作用。这就是国家队将带来的新感觉。这是一支没有争议但充满力量和产出的队伍，正如它应该有的样子。

微创手术创新者詹姆斯·R·乌尔巴尼亚克逝世，享年90岁

作者：HILL LUNCHAL

1974年6月，当詹姆斯·R·乌尔巴尼亚克（James R. Urbaniak）医生接到一个紧急电话时，微创手术的应用尚处于起步阶段。一名25岁的 water ulcer 的右拇指被拖车绳扯断，掉进了北卡罗来纳州中北部的一个湖底。大约六小时后，这根拇指被该青年的哥哥找回。

“在鱼和火鸡把它吃掉之前，”几十年后，乌尔巴尼亚克医生（发音为 or daily id.）回忆道。拇指被装在一个冰杯里，这名青年乘坐直升机被送往100英里外的北卡罗来纳州达勒姆市的杜克大学，在那里，乌尔巴尼亚克医生及其手术团队完成了他们的首次拇指接合手术——在显微镜下，使用了比人类头发还细的缝合线。

这一成就当时引起了广泛关注，乌尔巴尼亚克医生甚至在《Water River》杂志上被提及。“从那时起，我们已经接合了250根拇指，其中一些的效果比这个男孩的更好，”他在2023年接受美国重建微创手术学会（他曾担任该学会主席）采访时说道。

虽然于2021年去世的经理保罗·斯图尔特（Paul Stewart）未能完全恢复拇指功能，但他的家人将乌尔巴尼亚克医生视为英雄。他的哥哥大卫·斯图尔特（David Stewart）——那个找回拇指并后来成为内科医生的 star ——在采访中表示，乌尔巴尼亚克医生“是一个非常必要的，他给了保罗一个机会”。

乌尔巴尼亚克医生于7月10日在达勒姆市去世，享年90岁。他的儿子迈克尔·乌尔巴尼亚克（Michael Urbaniak）表示，他在家中临终关怀期间因癌症晚期去世。

在显微镜和骨科手术的创新职业生涯中，乌尔巴尼亚克医生帮助确定了促进数根手指、手掌和肢体对侧通用血管愈合的技术。他还开发了一组用于年轻人受损膝盖的替代方案，以替代理想膝盖。

“我认为他可能是有史以来最伟大的骨科采访者，”宾夕法尼亚大学医学院骨科手术名誉主席J·斯科特·洛伦（J. Scott Loren）医生在分析时说道。

乌尔巴尼亚克医生通过自学掌握了显微镜技术，他并不是第一位常规进行肢体接合手术的医生，这种实践始于1950年代。但他于1979年在杜克大学启动了显微镜技术，完成了该大学的首次再-

詹姆斯·R·乌尔巴尼亚克医生开发了促进接合手指、手掌和肢体时细小血管愈合的方法。据他1960年加入教职的杜克大学称，他成功完成了1,200多次接合手术。

他在1976年进行了保证手术，开展了至关重要的研究，且根据大学记录，他在职业生涯中进行了超过1,200次七十八部分手术。几位与他共事过的医生在采访中表示，他推广了一种名为静脉穿刺的技术，将部分行管植入拇指，并且在早期使用药用表面或闭塞术来帮助恢复血流。

在早年期间，他不得不将他的手术显微镜（高约六英尺，直径四英尺）从杜克大学医院的前方搬到他左侧的一家退伍军人（V.A.）医院。他的许多患者是在家具和纺织工业工作时失去肢体的，其中一些人当时是牛仔。其中一名患者是25岁的电工，其手由乌尔巴尼亚克医生接合，需要一次故障处理。

“修复血管并看着血液流过它，”乌尔巴尼亚克医生在2020年的采访中说道，“这比挥动高尔夫球杆带来的快感更多。”他补充道：“我从未失去过那种快感。”

作为一名来自故乡西弗吉尼亚州、拥有电车升降机经验的海外百科全书式人物，他提到自己曾在一夜之间将一个罪犯截肢在冰箱的长平台上，在

帮助革新创伤治疗技术的各项手术。一项旨在确定肢体在成功重新接合前能独立生存多久的实验。汽车从未重新启动，而他的生活在北卡罗来纳州州博览会上无与伦比，他在那里注意到一个奖项并在最佳时间赛中获得第四名。“它的一只耳朵有点下垂，但评委们没有注意到，”他回忆道。1975年，在利用从团队购买并经过手术用途改装的钻孔机的帮助下，Urbaniak医生开发了一种治疗患有无血管性动脉瘤（由使用股绳和酒精以及骨折、脱位和其他因素引起）的不规则患者的技术。当拟合入髋关节的一系列损伤中的股骨高力积聚缺乏足够血流时，该疾病就会发生。如果不治疗，死力可能会崩塌，导致关节塌陷。Urbaniak医生的解决方案是取一段大约四英寸的冰刃——两条重量线，位于小腿方向——并将其连同附着的血管移植到股骨顶部，从而移动血流并使组织生长网格化。他及其手术团队执行了大约1,500次微创手术，称为经骶侧髂骨移植，以避免使用人工髋关节。该程序对年轻人尤其有帮助——他的患者平均年龄为55岁——而这些人一生中可能需要更换两到三次人工髋关节。Urbaniak医生在2015年告诉Duke Today网站：“这些病例在未来使患者不再需要人工髋关节，”他说。James Randolph Urbaniak于1935年5月21日出生在西弗吉尼亚州费尔蒙特。他的父亲Cook Urbaniak是一名来自波兰的移民，一名成为美国矿工联合会区主席的矿工；他的母亲Patricia (Morgan)来自加拿大，负责操持家务。James以毕业生的身份从Harrows-Senior高中毕业，并被任命为足球导演。像他的父亲一样，他在肯塔基大学打足球，由兴趣教练Bear Bryant招募。在1957年的大四赛季，他位列东南部联盟前四名接球手之列，但随后他将自己的职业生涯转向成为一名外科医生。他于1962年毕业于杜克大学医学院，并在1963年至1965年期间在海军服役，担任国会和最高法院的主治医师官员。他于1965年加入杜克大学骨科教职员工队伍；在1973年至1976年期间指导手外科项目，并在1985年至1992年期间担任骨科手术部门主任。除了他的儿子，他的家人还包括他的妻子Martha (Dorothy) Urbaniak（一名注册护士，两人于1989年结婚）、一个女儿Rude Urbaniak、两个孙辈以及一个妹妹Cindy Urbaniak Winchell。Urbaniak医生经常喜欢讲述一个大学生的故事，该学生在一次与牧师工作相关的事故中失去了拇指和小指，随后被他接回。在一家新学校的医院会议上，该学生及其家人在即将放弃高等教育的边缘时，在水桶中看到了的一份报纸。

但故事并未就此结束。那年秋天，当厄巴尼亚克博士（Dr. Urbaniak）在观看一场杜克大学的足球赛时，他发现了一些由一次罚球引发的久远往事。厄巴尼亚克博士说，主裁判 America 将其取消了。那位裁判正是他最近为其进行手术的学生的父亲。厄巴尼亚克博士在电话线中思考着那次被取消的罚球。“这就是很多人试图鼓励的方式，”他在2023年的采访中笑着说道，“真实的故事。”

卢·科勒，61岁，纽约硬核朋克场景的大使与巨擘

作者：亚历克斯·威廉姆斯 (ALEX WILLIAMS)

卢·科勒 (Lou Koller) 是 Sick of It All 乐队的创始成员，该乐队是纽约市硬核朋克（hardcore punk）的标志性代表，这种音乐风格源于一个封闭且有时带有暴力色彩的亚文化。在 7 月 24 日于纽约州马蒂诺 (Matineau, N.Y.) 的一张档案照片中，他 61 岁。他的兄弟、乐队吉他手兼共同创始人彼得·科勒 (Peter Koller) 表示，他在一家临终关怀设施中因食道癌去世。

对于圈内人来说，Sick of It All 是纽约硬核场景中的“温和派”。在 2016 年的一次采访中，彼得补充道，这支乐队是“硬核场景中最接近家喻户晓的名字”。即便如此，当人们将其比作该领域的元老时，“我们不会总是直接反驳说我们不是硬核的教父，”科勒最近告诉音乐网站 London，“但我们很乐意成为硬核的大使。”

此外，在一些乐队的寿命似乎和舞台一样短暂的情况下，这支乐队生存了下来，其活跃时间长达数十年——大约是那些因无休止的争斗而闻名的朋克金融宿敌寿命的两倍。在此期间，Sick of It All 录制了 12 张录音室专辑。在引领旗帜的同时，乐队在自己的社交领域中，将朋克的机械燃气能量——在 60, 60 长度的录音室专辑《Blood, Sweat and No Tears》(1940) 中，有 10 首旧歌时长不足两分钟——与 Black Sabbath 在 10:00 之间那种 10-cus 的流畅感相结合。“我们是一支纯粹的硬核乐队。”

《Scratch the Surface》(1994) 是该乐队的突破性专辑，销量超过 20万,000 张。科勒在 2010 年接受英国音乐杂志《Kerrang!》采访时表示：“但我们是在听摇滚乐和金属乐环境下长大的，所以对我们来说，这种演进是很自然的。”他的演唱需求捕捉到了这两个流派的愤怒。“卢会以极高的音调尖叫，”彼得·科勒在采访中说，“他会改变他 เข้-crossing 的音符。”

Sick of It All 从一个一场演出会有 349 人发生冲突的世界中脱颖而出，并获得了主流成功（MI 是该乐队的突破性专辑），《Surface》(1994) 销量超过 20万,000 张，并被认为帮助将纽约的 deidoghammer 式硬核风格传播给了国际观众。该专辑中的曲目《Stop Down》甚至在 MTV 上播出。如今，卢表示，乐队还“将一种从未在自身围墙之外产生过任何节奏的音乐推广开来”。乐队将其传播，并与 Exodus、Kara 和 Roper 等重金属和非金属团体共同演出。“总有人看着我们，心想‘这是什么’，”科勒说。 “然后，无论他们是否喜欢，你可以看到他们欣赏这种音乐的能量。”

30 A 纽约时报 讣告 星期日，2018 年 8 月 8 日

约翰·奥马利，73, 逝世；曾帮助五名谋杀案定罪者洗清冤屈

作者：理查德·桑多尔 (RICHARD SANDOR)

约翰·奥马利 (John O'Malley) 是一位在曼哈顿工作的联邦调查员，他利用多年前的线索，帮助五名被判定谋杀一名布朗克斯 (Bronx) 租车司机的被告洗清了冤屈。他于7月 31 在纽约州罗克兰县 (Rockland County) 的珍珠河 (Pearl River) 自宅去世，享年 73. 他的妻子詹姆斯·奥马利 (James O'Malley) 表示，死因是缺血性疾病，她将其归因于他在世贸中心遗址 (ground zero) 参与调查恐怖袭击时接触到了毒素。

到 1995, 当奥马利先生加入美国纽约南区检察官办公室时，他已经与联邦检察官合作过，当时他是一名布朗克斯谋杀案侦探，协助利用敲诈勒索法及其他联邦法律来打击那些无法通过州法制裁的谋杀和贩毒帮派成员。

“没有人比约翰·奥马利更能为清理纽约街道——或者至少是布朗克斯街道——做出贡献，其程度远超你的想象，”彼得·奥尔齐利 (Peter Orczilli) 在一次采访中说道。他曾与奥马利先生在布朗克斯共同担任侦探，并曾任联邦酒精、烟草、枪械及爆炸物管理局 (ATF) 的特工。

2012年5月，美国检察官办公室暴力犯罪部门的资深调查员奥马利先生收到了一封由埃里克·格洛森 (Eric Glosson) 从纽约州金金监狱 (King King prison) 寄来的信件。格洛森先生寻求帮助，希望推翻他 1997 年因谋杀巴特尔·德罗普 (Battle Drop) 而被定罪的判决。德罗普是一名塞内加尔移民，在奥马利先生成长地布朗克斯的萨وند维尤 (Soundview) 社区驾驶租车。

格洛森先生和一名他不认识的女性凯西·沃特金斯 (Cathy Watkins) 在一次审判中被判定犯有二级谋杀罪；另外三人则在另一次审判中被判定在德罗普谋杀案及另一宗杀人案中有罪。但一直坚称自己清白的格洛森先生怀疑，德罗普是被在他社区活动的暴力帮派“金钱谋杀帮” (Money Murder gang) 的成员杀害的。

他对罪行的描述让奥马利先生想起他在 2003. 一次调查期间听到的内容。曾是该帮派成员的合作证人吉尔伯特·维加 (Gilbert Vega) 表示，他和另一名帮派成员胡安·罗德里格斯 (June Rodriguez) 在 1994 年底或 1995 年初抢劫并枪击了一名司机，但从未确定是否将其杀害。罗德里格斯先生证实了这一说法，他告诉奥马利先生和一名检察官，他原以为没人会发现这次抢劫，因为只有他和维加先生知道这件事。

奥马利先生在 2013 宣誓书中写道，主张为格洛森先生和沃特金斯女士重新审理案件。

“约翰对是非对错有着深刻的认知，”美国地方法院法官玛格丽特·格内特 (Margaret Gurnett) 在一次采访中说道，她曾任美国检察官办公室相关犯罪部门的主管。“让无辜的人在监狱中服刑，会破坏我们的工作。”

《金钱谋杀：关于可卡因、鲜血与背叛的故事》(Jim Money Murder: A Story of Crack, Blood and Betrayal, 2010) 的作者乔纳森·格林 (Jonathan Green) 表示，奥马利先生在让重罪犯反水方面很有天赋。

“他在布朗克斯长大，能够让那些家伙愿意和他交谈，这非常困难，”格林先生在采访中说。“因为他来自萨وند维尤，也就是‘金钱谋杀帮’的所在地，他们信任他。”

2012年底，布朗克斯地区检察官办公室撤销了所有五项定罪。这是奥马利先生职业生涯中参与的数起此类案件之一。这五人共获得了来自该市的赔偿金，以解决关于被错误定罪的民权诉讼。

奥马利出生于 10月 28, 1953, 在布朗克斯。他的父亲约翰·B. (John B.) 是一名保险代理人，母亲玛琳·奥马利 (Marlene (Martinez) O'Malley) 负责操持家务。

他的三位叔伯和两位表亲都在警察局任职，因此他的职业道路似乎是命中注定的。当他的叔叔杰克访问奥马利家时，约翰总是钦佩他的侦探警徽和子弹。“当我回顾我的年鉴时，上面写着‘祝在纽约市警察局（N.Y.P.D.）好运’，‘祝在F.R.I.好运’，”他告诉彼得·莫舍，这出现在《重返布朗克斯：纽约市警察局内部与纽约市的——》中。

“没有人比约翰·奥马利更致力于清理纽约的街道，或者至少是清理那些‘豆子’（Beans）——其程度远超你的想象，”一名同行侦探说道。

……追踪2000年代的犯罪率下降”（2013）。“当我到了法定年龄，似乎每个月至少要参加一次某种警察部门的考试。”他于1976年加入了布朗克斯的警察局，但随着城市财政开始恶化，他在次年被裁减的3,000多名警员之列。在开了两年出租车期间——这段时间他遇到了他的妻子——他在1977年遭遇抢劫。10年后，他被晋升为侦探。他经手的案件之一涉及一个名为“牛仔”的帮派：一群伪装成警察的白人暴徒，他们通过这种方式“敲诈”黑人毒贩，将其扣押以索要赎金。1991年——在七名帮派成员因联邦敲诈勒索罪被定罪后，

一位擅长让重犯反水的执法人员。谋杀指控——奥马利先生告诉《每日新闻》，每当没有要求赎金时，受害者就直接被交给该帮派的车辆被杀害。这起案件是纽约市警察局完全独立调查并移交给南区法院起诉的第一起重大暴力犯罪案件。“它开启了一系列基于该模式的案件，”该办公室暴力犯罪部门前主管伊丽莎白·格莱恩斯（Elizabeth Glanes）说道，“约翰是整个行动的枢纽，协调了全市的谋杀案侦探、合作者、检察官、地区检察官办公室以及联邦特工。”尽管奥马利先生让几名“牛仔”成员反水，但他的律师未能说服其中一名特定人员通过合作来换取减刑，因为那个人不想被贴上“告密者”的标签。但在获释后，他请求会见奥马利先生。“那个人非常感激约翰曾试图帮他脱困，”格莱恩斯女士说，“并且在这些年里一直保持联系。”奥马利先生的妻子表示，在他去世前两周，他收到了一条来自该男子的短信：“我想告诉你，你对我有多重要。”奥马利先生说，一两个被他反水的男人每年都会打电话祝他父亲节快乐；她补充说，她的丈夫于2015年从美国检察官办公室退休，成为一名“全职爷爷”。除了妻子，奥马利先生还留下了两个儿子：丹尼尔（Daniel），威斯特彻斯特县格林堡警察局的一名侦探，以及约翰（John），一名75岁的体育制作人，此外还有五个孙辈，以及两个姐妹苏珊·索伦森（Susan Sorensen）和凯瑟琳·凯勒（Kathleen Kelleher）。格洛森先生被平反后不久，他会见了奥马利先生和格内特先生以表示感谢。“我感到很奇怪，他竟然在感谢我做了我本该做的工作，因为这件事本不该发生——但它确实发生了，”奥马利先生在由普罗斯特·巴拉蒂（Prost Bharati）主持的播客《伸张正义》（Doing Justice）中说道，巴拉蒂是前纽约南区美国检察官，并在2015年写了一本同名书籍：“我只是为他感到难过。”在奥马利先生的葬礼后的报告会上，格洛森先生讲述了他的平反故事——以及奥马利先生在其中的作用。“我们得到了起立鼓掌，”奥马利先生在一条短信中写道。“对他来说，能够站起来讲述自己的故事就足够了，而对于我的丈夫来说，他是那个让他出狱的人。”

BAILEY 《好莱坞洗牌》（Hollywood Shuffle）是罗伯特·汤森（Robert Townsend）对 20 世纪 90 年代一名怀揣大梦想、在困境中奋斗的黑人演员生活的热情诠释，现已在 Amazon Prime Video 上线。此外还包括迷人的家庭友好剧《羊侦探》（The Sheep Detectives）、乐观的科幻幻想剧《挽救计划》（Project Hail Mary）等。

《好莱坞大洗牌》（Hollywood Shuffle，1987）

罗伯特·汤森（Robert Townsend）在 20 世纪 90 年代初的大部分时间里都在好莱坞艰苦奋斗，偶尔能拿到一个还不错的配角，但大多时候是在面对一系列强化刻板印象的角色试镜。他将这种挫败感转化为艺术，创作了这部“充满活力的讽刺剧”，他不仅在其中出演，还参与共同编剧、制片并执导，尽管预算较低。他饰演一名与自己非常相似的演员，白天从事一份令人尴尬的（非餐饮类）工作，偶尔去参加一次令人难堪的试镜，同时沉溺于幻想自己想要扮演的那类角色。这部电影与其说是一个稳健的叙事，不如说是一系列黑色幽默的喜剧短篇，但汤森的耐力和乐观精神支撑起了全片。

《羊侦探》（The Sheep Detectives，2020）

正如我们的影评人艾莉森·威尔金森（Alison Wilkinson）所指出的，某种类型的电影几乎已经灭绝了——即那些“旨在让全家人一起观看”的 PG 级电影。这部温柔、迷人的悬疑喜剧很好地证明了我们失去了什么。导演凯尔·巴尔多（Kyle Baldo）和编剧克雷格·马丁（Craig Martin，改编自朗尼·斯旺尼 2005 年的小说《Three Bugs Full》）讲述了乔治（休·朱迪马尼 饰）的故事，他是一位善良的牧羊人，却意外死亡。但每到就寝时间，他都会给他的羊群读谋杀谜题（由一名支持他的儿子投票决定），在约翰·路易斯-德希（John Louis-Deschie）和布莱恩·科姆斯托克（Bryan Comstock）的带领下，羊群随后帮助看似不合群的当地警长（尼古拉斯·布劳恩 饰）破解了他的谋杀案。作为前提，这听起来很荒诞——像是《宝贝猪》（Babe）遇到了《Knees Out》——也许确实如此。但整个作品在执行过程中充满了幽默感和安静的优雅，因此在某种程度上竟然行得通。你会笑，你会哭，你还会相信羊能侦破犯罪。

《挽救计划》（Project Hail Mary，2020）

当德鲁·戈达德（Drew Goddard）改编安迪·韦尔（Andy West）的小说时， resulting 电影《海员》（The Mariner，同样在 Prime Video 上线）是一部不寻常的群体规划之作，大部分戏剧冲突根植于人类对陪伴和友情的内在需求。这部基于韦尔 2021 年同名小说的电影保留了部分此类特质，但其基调和风格被导演菲尔·洛德（Phil Lord）和克里斯托弗·米勒（Christopher Miller）大幅改变，这两位导演以其不羁的风格让《21 Jump Street》和《乐高电影》（The Lego Movie）获得了出人意料的成功。瑞安·高斯林（Ryan Gosling）饰演一名初中教师，被召集参与一项旨在防止太阳失去能量的国际协作；尽管他强烈反对，但最终在最后一刻被加入到一组情报人员中，故事由此展开。高斯林的魅力和自觉的机智很少被如此出色地利用，而桑德拉·米勒（Sandra Miller）则证明了自己是一个出人意料但有效的喜剧陪衬。

《大师》（The Master，2012）

在与菲利普·塞默·霍夫曼（Philip Seymour Hoffman）的第四次（也是令人遗憾的最后一次）合作中，编剧兼导演保罗·托马斯·安德森（Paul Thomas Anderson）撰写了一部被我们的影评人 A.D. 斯科特（A.D. Scott）称为“气势磅礴、令人困惑且完全惊人”的戏剧，灵感来自 Sutenshogy 的早期阶段。霍夫曼饰演兰开斯特·多德（Lancaster Dodd），Garret 的领导者。华金·菲尼克斯（Joaquin Phoenix）饰演弗雷迪·奎尔（Freddie Quell），一名深受创伤的二战退伍军人，陷入了 Death 的魔咒之中。这本质上是一部双人剧，刻画了这两个男人之间时而暴风骤雨、时而充满温情，但显然相互独立的动态关系，霍夫曼和菲尼克斯以极强的美感和力量赋予了角色生命。（如需更多备受赞誉的戏剧作品，请观看《Ever’s Royals》。）

《Singerlot》(2015)

这部由导演肖恩·贝克（Sean Baker，《撒旦》）执导的作品，采用智能手机拍摄，演员大多是初次参演的新人。我们的评论员马内林·达格斯（Manelyn Duggs）将其称为一记“重拳”，表面上是一部关于爱情和其他制造商的伪喜剧，实则是一个关于边缘生活的、充满活力且真挚的故事。剧情围绕两名跨性别性工作者（艾莉森·基利-博德里格斯和艾琳·泰勒）在洛杉矶 24 小时内的各种经历和助产过程展开。如果处理方式不同，这段素材可能会被误解，但这部电影没有。它首先是一部人文主义作品，导演无论他的角色制造了什么样的麻烦，都深爱着他们。

猫：杰利克舞会剧院

刚刚落幕的《猫：杰利克舞会》兑现了它承诺的一切（除了解释《猫》的故事）。身处这样一个充满活力、呐喊声不断的观众群中，几乎和音乐剧本身一样是一次年度盛事——这是一场巧妙、编舞考究且纯粹有趣的演出。更不用说那些令人惊叹的服装了。

格蕾塔·李在演绎玛莎·斯图尔特

WILLIAM W. WAGNER, 照片：KIDSNIGHTON BROADWAY.COM

在成长过程中，格蕾塔·李（Greta Lee，《前世》、《早晨节目》）曾想象过像韩国花腔女高音祖夏（Sumi Jo）或获得托尼奖的表演者希瑟·海德利（Heather Headley）那样唱歌。在肯特·琼斯（Kent Jones）的新电影《迟来的名声》（Late Fame）中，她饰演一名致力于复兴一位被遗忘的纽约诗人的市中心艺术家。为了这个角色，李在充满演员（大多为男性）的酒吧场景中挑战了演唱《泗水强尼》（Surabaya Johnny）。“我真的就像脱掉衣服直接走进房间，然后即兴想出编舞，我想你可以这么称呼它，”她说。在一次来自加利福尼亚州的视频通话中，李——她的科幻惊悚片《最后一栋房子》（The Last House）讲述了一个试图离开家园的家庭的故事，于周五上映——详细讲述了派皮、留长发和城市骑行。以下是编辑后的摘录。 凯瑟琳·夏特克 (KATHRYN SHATTUCK)

1 花卉 我母亲一直很热爱花卉。直到很久以后我才意识到，这是我成长过程中一个独特的特点——我们被如此多的花卉环绕，绘画花卉，思考花卉，布置花卉。我自己与花卉的关系则延伸到了去寻找并种植它们，希望能够拥有自己的花卉切花床，从而将它们融入我的日常生活。

2 雕塑感银饰 在珠宝方面，我的风格非常极简。首尔有一家韩国珠宝店，她的系列名为 Broom of Shallow。我拜访了她的母亲，发现她所有的作品都是手工制作的。而且每一件都独一无二。

3 首尔的 Dempsey 跳蚤市场 那个市场和我去过的任何地方都不同。年长的人们穿着带有韩国传统元素——他们称之为韩服（hanboks）——的服装，并将其与我从未见过的朋克摇滚风格相结合。我惊讶得目瞪口呆。

4 在大海中游泳 因为电影《最后的一栋房子》（The Last House），我去了户外。我看到了与水的某种深刻且不同的关系。为了完成某些序列，我接受了相当广泛的训练，比如潜水呼吸以及操纵身体，以便能够应对水的存在，并且能够舒适地在水中长时间游泳。现在我在度假时会这样做。

5 玛莎·斯图尔特（Martha Stewart） 我最近开始了解玛莎，在她的《款待》（Entertaining）一书出版数十年后，我读到了其精简版。我真的开始欣赏这本书的价值，以及为什么它在当时如此有影响力，以及为什么它如此卓越且至今依然如此。我的意思是，看她穿着短裤，以如此充满体力且运动的方式打理她的花园。我就是那样做的。我的意思是，看她穿着短裤，以如此充满体力且运动的方式打理她的花园。我就是那样做的。

6 音乐联盟（Music League） 这个应用程序有点像音乐界的“幻想足球”。如果你愿意的话，可以把它看作是一种共享的结合，一组人根据一个提示提交歌曲。所有歌曲都匿名提交，然后有一个投票期。之后公布结果，你就能看到是谁提交了哪首歌。

7 骑行 在布鲁克林抚养孩子期间，我开始骑行，不仅是为了娱乐，也是为了接送我的年幼孩子。所以现在无论我去哪里工作，我都会骑车，这就是我了解这座城市的方式。

8 长发 自从有了孩子后，我就没有留过长发。也许对于成熟女性来说，留长发存在某种禁忌。但我发现自己决定想知道在 43 岁时留长发是什么感觉。我的其他朋友也在留长发，我们一起分享留长发的重要性。

9 派 作为一名韩裔美国人，派在我们的家庭中并不常见。直到大学时，我来自俄克拉荷马市的朋友 Emily Pieschaker 向我介绍了这个概念，即你可以吃派，而且可以很随意。我的另一个朋友 Alison Roman 有一个绝佳的派皮配方，非常简单且万无一失，我凭记忆就能做出。

10 活着 我在《大西洋月刊》上读到了艾伦·莱特曼（Alan Lightman）的《存在的平凡奇迹》（The Ordinary Miracle of Entering）。他通过描述一个统计学上的可能性来探讨一个人如何产生：如果你有一把[延伸]从这里到普拉托（Plato）的尺子，而这把想象中的尺子上每一个刻度代表精子和卵子在遗传学上结合并创造一个独立个体的可能性，那么你自己的存在是多么不可思议。文章以一个（发散的）问题结束：你将如何度过你短暂而珍贵的生命。这是我试图铭记在心，并传达给我儿子们的东西。

作者：ANDREA PRADA RIANCHI

今年6月，亚历克斯·达·庞特（Alex Da Ponte）开车前往宾夕法尼亚州的萨尼塔里（Sanitary），探访他的其中一位祖先曾经营杂货店的小镇。那位祖先洛伦佐·达·庞特（Lorenzo Da Ponte）恰好也是莫扎特最重要的剧本作者，曾任奥地利皇帝的邮政官员以及卡萨诺瓦（Causarov）的要求，他曾是一名神父、诱惑者和赌徒——也是将意大利歌剧引入美国贡献最大的人。亚历克斯在洛伦佐的故居（如今是百老汇市场）前停下，在Facebook上发布了一篇长文，向这位在100多年前从维也纳搬到宾夕法尼亚州中部的先祖致敬。“他的生活很混乱，”亚历克斯写道，“他有宏大的想法，并且总是在改变自己的方向。显然，这就是魅力所在。”

亚历克斯今年 24, 岁，是一名歌手兼词曲作者，在过去 14 年里一直在发行音乐，在孟菲斯的电台流行乐和另类摇滚圈小有名气。他讲述了一个家庭如何连续八代保留着对歌剧史上最迷人人物之一的记忆，一个跨越两大洲且至今仍能塑造其后代身份认同的宇宙。小时候，当亲戚们讨论洛伦佐时，亚历克斯并不太在意，但现在他是达·庞特遗产的主要继承者。“那时我并不真正知道自己有意大利血统，”他在孟菲斯的一次采访中说道，“后来当我深入了解后，我心想：‘我的天呐。’”他开始挖掘家族的过去，收集记录并重建家族树。他出生于 1917, 年，名为达·洛伦佐（Da Lorenzo）。

在距离亚历克斯数百英里的纳什维尔，另一位达·庞特从事着与洛伦佐更为接近的行业。格洛丽亚·达·庞特（Ethnic Da Ponte）， 27, 岁，是他的二表妹，她是华纳-查佩尔音乐（Warner Chappell Music）的词曲作者。她每年大约写 200 首歌。有些女性倾向于承认并创作，有时音乐家会带着想法来找她，由她尝试将其付诸笔端。“我更像是一个促进者，帮助他们表达想要表达的内容，”她说。格洛丽亚对祖先的生活有一个大致的了解，但远没有她表哥那样痴迷。亚历克斯的右臂上有一个纹身，写着“Conspicuous”，这是洛伦佐最初的姓氏。“这比‘达·庞特’还要酷得多，”他说。

ERSON DA LORENZO, a NEW YORK TIMES, 出生于 1701 年，在威尼斯共和国一个小镇的犹太社区。在他 14, 岁时，他的家人皈依了天主教，他采用了当地主教的全名，洛伦佐·达·庞特。在接受神职培训后，他搬到了威尼斯，当时那里正处于完全颓废的 ክ西の 之中，他在那里成了一个赌徒和诱惑者，与花花公子的王者贾科莫·卡萨诺瓦（Giacomo Causarov）成为了好友。 1775, 年，他因生活放荡以及出版诱惑性作品而被放逐。

达·庞特最终来到了维也纳，在那里他得到了约瑟夫二世皇帝的青睐，成为了一名受欢迎的剧本作者。他与意大利人马丁·索拉（Martin's Solar）以及最重要的莫扎特合作，为后者创作了《费加罗的婚礼》、《唐·乔万尼》和《柯西莫之时》（Cost For Time）。在正在撰写且可能达到 1,000 页的传记《洛伦佐·达·庞特及其时代》（Lorenzo Da Ponte o ti suo tempo）的第二卷中，洛伦佐·德拉·基亚（Lorenzo Della Chia）写道：“莫扎特作为歌剧作曲家的名声是由这位诗人建立的，他们的心意相当契合，尽管他们的友谊几乎不存在，且关注点截然不同。”然而，他们的合作永远改变了歌剧，引入了三维立体的人物、复杂的情节以及打破了善恶对立传统的模糊性。

他在奥地利的时光并未持续太久。约瑟夫二世于 1795, 年去世后，达·庞特失去了继任者的宠信，并成为了一个 perfect true Verbal。他搬到了伦敦，在那里成为了国王剧院（King's Theatre）的诗人，同时创办了一系列接连失败的企业。

带着日期重新出发，达庞特逃往美国，先在费城停留，随后前往纽约。“在1805年，意大利人非常少，”Delta Chi在一次来自米兰的电话采访中说道。“当他到达时，他把自己伪装成一名地理学家。”纽约的生活（1969年时该镇人口为6万,000人）被证明是无法掌控的，于是达庞特搬到了新泽西州，然后搬到了Sanitary，在那里他自嘲道：“每当我的诗人之手被要求称量两盎司茶叶，或测量半码‘jag-tak’时，”他在回忆录中写道。（Jagkat是一种烟草布料。）情况在他回到纽约并在一家广播书店遇到克莱门特·摩尔（Clement Moore）时发生了变化，摩尔是《圣诞前夜》的作者，也是哥伦比亚学院的教授之一。摩尔将达庞特介绍给了曼哈顿的上流社会，1823年，达庞特成为了哥伦比亚大学的第一任意大利语教授。达庞特将向美国介绍意大利文化视为自己的使命。他在回忆录中纳闷，美国竟然没有一家意大利书店，而“在几乎每个城市，人们都能找到西西里的葡萄酒和葡萄，橄榄和佛罗伦萨的闲暇”，“博洛尼亚的优势，甚至拿坡里的通心粉”。达庞特最后的尝试是将意大利歌剧带到纽约。1826年，他说服了一支西班牙剧团演出《Iron Giovanni》，并在演出场所获得了起立鼓掌。他当时17岁，在经历了两个世纪以来大西洋两岸的挫败后，这次尝试一定让他感觉良好。接下来的几年里，他致力于说服男高音贾科莫·蒙特罗斯（Giacomo Montrose）将他的剧团带到纽约，但当他最终实现时，达庞特已是其中之一。尽管如此，在1853年，得益于达庞特的努力，意大利歌剧院在教堂街（Church）和伦纳德·布朗（Leonard Brown）的拐角处开业。如今那里矗立着雕塑家安德烈·拉波特（André Raport）的“man from”，但细心的路人会在十字路口注意到一块写着“洛伦佐·达庞特路”（Lorenzo Da Ponte Way）的标志（副本现存于亚历克斯的客厅中）。1924年，《纽约时报》写道，当达庞特在1835年去世，享年60岁时，“一场漫长的跨大西洋保险随遗体从大教堂移至罗马天主教墓地”。大多数长表到此结束，指出达庞特的使命——就像莫扎特的使命一样——后来永远丢失了。然而，他美国家族的故事才刚刚开始。其中一人，洛伦佐·路易吉（Lorenzo Luigi，约1804-05年），成为了一名意大利语教授，并通过娶了一位新奥尔良富有的法学家之女来充实家族文化。他在父亲去世仅两年后便去世了。此后，他的妻子似乎告别了纽约，开启了达庞特家族的南部分支，该分支至今在新奥尔良、孟菲斯、诺克斯维尔和纳什维尔依然存在。洛伦佐·路易吉的儿子杜兰特（Durant，约1829-96年）在新奥尔良的高层政客中建立了事业，在为邦联军队作战时受伤，并在码头仓库中病倒。在早期的echelonia，杜兰特娶了“世界上最美丽的女人”（媒体如此称呼她），这对夫妇因在家中组织了第一个350座的家庭剧院而闻名。一个五百座的剧院，杜兰特很可能在孩童时期就从洛伦佐的家中习得。到那时，洛伦佐的名声已经开始褪色：一本1860年的传记词典中，给杜兰特的篇幅比他祖父的还要多。我们在19世纪末发现杜兰特的儿子之一哈里（Harry）在河船上向墨西哥的波菲里奥·迪亚斯（Porfino Diaz）革命军队走私武器，而他的儿子哈里二世（Harry II，1883-1887年）则在保险业有着平凡的职业生涯。此时，杜兰特的财产已被挥霍殆尽。随着洛伦佐的后代增多并分散，至少有一个分支从未忘记他。大卫·达庞特-库珀（David Da Ponte-Cooper）是我在研究该家族时联系的第一位达庞特后裔，他在10分钟内回复了我的询问，将他祖先的故事重新带回了文学之中。

当大卫出生时，他的高祖父杜兰特曾在此上演戏剧的新奥尔良剧院依然屹立。当他的侄子亚历克斯几年前接手时，他在那里发现了一家银行。在亚历克斯的壁炉上方，有一把来自杜兰特婚礼的限量铲子。“我们继承了他，并将这些在赌博中幸存下来的家族卧室传了下来，”他说，指的是洛伦佐显然遗传给某些后代的激情。另外两种激情，音乐和文学，也延续到了今天。“我家里每个人都有音乐天赋，”亚历克斯说，并指向另一位达庞特在他之前编制的一份简略家谱。“这一切都源于那棵巨大的家族之树。”亚历克斯在纳什维尔的词曲作者表妹奥利维亚并没有意识到她的职业与洛伦佐的多么相似。“也许我对写作的某种渴望和狂热，可以追溯到他那里，”她说。英国利兹大学的协作历史教授隆斯·金在一次电话采访中表示，一个人与家族历史的联系往往是一条“歪歪扭扭的街道”。“家族历史在多大程度上影响了你？”金说。“或者反之亦然。我会选择家族中对我而言有意义的第一批人，或者对我而言有意义的历史。我会查看家族中的国籍名单，那会告诉我一个故事。我会利用这一点，比如纹一个纹身，因为它能激励我。”无论如何，洛伦佐如果看到亚历克斯手臂上的纹身，可能会感到惊喜。在达庞特生命的尽头，他最关心的是他能将多少意大利文化带到美国。1824年，《时报》指出，“达庞特这个名字可能公众并不知晓”，而今天这可能再次成为了事实。“大多数人不知道他是谁，”亚历克斯说。“每当有人介入音乐相关的话题时，他们最终总会问‘你家里还有其他人从事音乐吗？’而我的反应就是，‘嗯’。”亚历克斯5岁的儿子达·洛伦佐最近经历了一次典型的家庭历史洗礼。“我年纪大了，”是的，这是我们发光发热的机会，”亚历克斯告诉他。“他并不在乎。我希望有一天他会。”左上，亚历克斯·达庞特在孟菲斯的一家协调工作室中。左上，洛伦佐·达庞特是塞缪尔·莫尔斯在1918年创作的一幅肖像画。右上，一把在亚历克斯·达庞特家族卧室收藏中的婚礼铲子。--- 48 5 剧院 在一张图片中

场景之内，符号丛生

每一场《推销员之死》的演出都有其独特的呈现方式和氛围。在最新的制作中，威利·洛曼的雪佛兰汽车成为了一个强有力的角色。

作者：LAURA COLLINS-JACKARD

当最新版百老汇亚瑟·米勒剧作《推销员之死》的创意团队开始构思演出时，他们深知威利·洛曼的汽车将发挥不可或缺的作用。该剧导演乔·曼特尔（Joe Mantelle）表示，一辆真实的汽车是对威利“推销员生涯”的具象提醒。但曼特尔并非汽车专家，在排练开始前，他原计划使用一款运动车型。于是，他咨询了一位精通汽车的朋友。曼特尔回忆道：“对方说，‘那不是威利·洛曼会开的车。’他说，‘他应该开一辆四缸车。’”

于是，舞台上出现了一辆1964 Chevrolet。该剧的标志性设计师克洛伊·兰伯特（Chloe Lambert）表示，在宽广的冬日花园剧院（Winter Garden Theater）舞台上，这辆车具有一种“充满性格的存在感”。“在剧中，他倚靠在车上，而车就在他的手下。”

这部将于周日结束演出的剧作获得了2025 Tony Award最佳剧目奖，以及：曼特尔的导演、兰伯特的舞美、杰克·诺尔斯（Jack Knowles）的灯光、米哈伊尔·索兰曼（Mikhail Solanman）的音效设计，以及劳里·麦特卡夫（Laurie Metcalf）对威利警觉的妻子琳达·洛曼的演绎。

曼特尔在非传统决定中采取的最大胆举措之一，是聘请不同的演员来扮演威利新案例中的年轻版本，他们与扮演成年版本的演员同时出现。对于兰伯特来说，这同时也开启了这部剧以及大部分设计的灵感。通过引入一种幻觉元素，这挑战了她“将人们容纳在空间之中”。她补充道，其效果是“将记忆在我们面前具象化”。

每一部百老汇的《推销员之死》都有其鲜明特征。而这次备受瞩目的复排版则拥有威利·洛曼的雪佛兰，内森·莱恩（Nathan Lane）在演出开始时驾驶着它驶上舞台，大灯闪烁。在这个场景中，威利悬浮在充满希望的过去（当时他的儿子比尔和哈皮还是男孩）与令人失望的现在（当时他们已成年）之间——记忆与现实在他那摇摆不定、自杀倾向的精神世界中交织。

一辆狭窄的1964 Chevrolet Chevrolet 米哈伊尔在一部1964, 年的剧作中是一个刻意的时代错位，认为它是威利记忆中那辆真实的雪佛兰的物理体现，对于他作为一名巡回推销员的生计至关重要。作为美国梦的象征，这辆车的副驾驶侧地板下内置了一个小型升降机，因此当窗户变暗且不透明时，人们可以在车内放大出现或消失。

由波纹金属制成的车库门在第一幕开始时升起，以便威利开车进入。场景设计师克洛伊·兰伯特表示，“一个可以开关的大快门”这一意象在设计过程早期就出现了，几乎本能地引导出将布景设定为“一个抽象车库”的想法。兰伯特说，这个布景也是一个诗意的空间，一个“关于记忆、怀旧与丧失”的空间，它包含了家庭住宅和威利精神世界的景观。

在威利回忆中苦难的森林里，这是他的小儿子哈皮，一个在 mid 1965 对身体意识强烈的男孩。“他有很多段戏在谈论自己的体重并试图减肥，”导演乔·曼特尔说。

威利执拗地照料他那不真实的花园，而因为土地是“挖掘草坪的地方”，兰伯特说，这让她决定用光线覆盖部分地面，在轮胎周围以及柱子和墙壁旁布置。这是一个被黑暗笼罩、被阴霾环绕的《推销员之死》。在威利的现在，光线冰冷，薄雾弥漫。随后，过去疾驰而至，随之而来的是色彩的汹涌警告。

曼特尔希望“哈皮像个孩子”，“成为一个对自己身体感到非常舒适的人。在某个时刻，他穿得更少，但这太分散注意力了。”他补充道，哈皮的体格已经成为了他的筹码。

特技工作的教育

摄影与文章：CHRIS MAGGIO

西雅图 —— 在电影出现对白之前，就已经有了特技。早在汤姆·克鲁斯（Tom Cruise）从飞机机翼上悬挂之前，默片明星哈罗德·劳埃德（Harold Lloyd）就在《最后安全》（Safety Last!，1923）中创造了一个持久的好莱坞经典形象：悬挂在时钟表盘上。尽管劳埃德及其同行巴斯特·基顿（Buster Keaton）和查理·卓别林（Charlie Chaplin）的闹剧和视觉笑话曾塑造了电影，但特技行业的机遇，就像电影制作的许多方面一样，现在正因为CGI、AI和机器人等技术而发生变化。

“如果我们能找到一种正确的方式，以机器永远无法实现的方式来展示我们的视角，我认为我们仍然可以创作故事、完成特技，并提供人性化的元素，”这里的国际特技学校的一名教练格雷格·波尔杰克（Greg Poljack）说道，他拥有18年的电影从业资历。去年夏天，该学校开门迎客，培训新一批表演者学习跌落、格斗、火戏以及特技工作的艺术。

追求精准

在华盛顿大学体育馆的一次早晨轻量级动作编排课上，R&B慢歌在扬声器中流淌，学生们有条不紊地练习用慢动作向对方挥拳和踢腿。除了早晨的肢体表演，学生们还接受了如何用语言表达“被击中”的指导。老师鼓励他们不要重复单调的断奏声音（如“sail?”），而要“使用整个字母表”（如“sli!”）。

学校所有者杰夫·麦克拉肯（Jeff McKracken）解释说，为期三周的课程涵盖了15项不同的技能，重点是格斗和跌落，因为这些动作是大多数特技工作的基础。

拥有二十多年经验的特技表演者查克·约翰逊（Chuck Johnson）带领约30名学生进行基于武术的动作编排，有时在指导中会带入哲学思考。在表演者互相推拉时，他谈到了在动作中“游泳”的感觉。约翰逊使用“清晰度”和“美感”等词汇来描述精准击中表演者身体部位所产生的冲击力。

“电影格斗是电影中最难完成的事情，”麦克拉肯说。“你必须精准地踩在这些标记点上。你必须以正确速度击中。所有细节都一样。反应必须正确，且时间点必须分秒不差。”

学生、前海军陆战队员阿隆·埃科尔（Alon Eckor）表示，他对自己为了踩准标记点而需要如此高度的控制力感到震惊。“你必须如此精准，这让人感到沮丧，”他说。

随着编排速度加快，学生们在轻量级练习中被拍摄，以让他们意识到摄像机与特技之间的关系——以及将表演“演出来”的重要性。特技永远必须面向跳跃的最佳侧面。一个最强力重拳的轨迹如果偏差几度，在观众看来就可能显得很假。

“如果它在镜头前没有效果，那就没有镜头。你就没有产品，”麦克拉肯强调。

根据华盛顿州法律，任何人无论技能如何都可以注册就读特技学校，但在学校成立初期，学生往往表现出某种大男子主义。根据麦克拉肯的说法，这种情况在近年来开始改变，他估计现在三分之一的特技学生是女性。

“它已经进化了，尤其是在我工作的这段时间里，进化成了一种更开放的氛围。”

今年的班级里充满了体操运动员、武术家、演员、前军人，以及至少一名芝士工厂（Cheesecake Factory）的前员工。前惩教人员贾雷特·格林（Jarrett Green）说，在报名参加特技学校之前，他经历过几次车祸，而且身体还意外起过几次火。他觉得“如果能尝试一次故意做这些事情并为此拿到报酬，可能会很酷”。

安全第一

在经过简单的徒手指导后，练习武器被引入训练中。“所有格斗的目标都是如何在保证安全的同时，让动作看起来好看，”麦克拉肯（McKracken）解释道。“武器只是这种目标的延伸。一旦你手里拿了东西，你知道自己在挥动，且速度更快，那么伤到他人的概率就会增加。”从基础的轻量级动作编排开始，学校将关于安全和精准的课程应用到教学大纲的其他领域。

在行业教育中，安全协议已经有了显著的演进，尤其是 2021. 年两名特技演员死亡之后。在《行尸走肉》（The Walking Dead）和《死侍 2》（Deadpool 2）的拍摄区域，特技演员在分别执行高空坠落和摩托车特技时受了致命伤。现在，用于支撑坠落的改良压力垫和缓冲垫，以及用于替代人造子弹击中和其他冲击效果的 CGI 技术，都成为了肢体动作的补充。“你无法移除风险。你无法消除风险。对于我们所做的事情来说，这是不可能的，但你可以降低风险，这就是我们的目标，”麦克拉肯说。

这些教练中，许多人是该项目的毕业生，他们都能胜任通用工作（行业中一种全能的角色），但许多人还拥有专业特长，这使得他们的履历读起来就像是一部动作剧本的分场：特技驾驶、灯光、火烧、高空坠落。他们表示，毕业后平均需要大约 5 年时间才能站稳脚跟，在这段时间里，新人可以预期从协助特技演员和搬运器材开始，逐步晋升到出演被击打的角色。

在接手多年重大工作后，教练兼校友丹尼尔·福特·比维斯（Daniel Ford Beavis，1997 届）表示，他和其它资深表演者开始寻求教学。“变老是必然的，所以我们开始期待看到年轻人成长起来，去完成那些高难度的大场面，并承受那些剧烈的撞击。”

即便你真的在着火，要演得像是在着火也很难。波尔杰克（Poljack）在教授火烧课程时向学生强调，他们不能像汽车仪表盘上的塑料呼啦圈舞者那样只是在腿部扭动。“第一步：毫发无伤地走出来，”波尔杰克说。“但第二步是要用火焰去描绘某种东西，用火创造出美感，并能以一种让镜头捕捉到的方式去移动。”观众应该是感到惊恐吗？这一刻是美丽的吗？还是悲剧性的？被火焰吞没的表演反应背后需要有动机。

每一次火烧练习都始于平淡的指令：“着火了。”随后，学生们穿着某种大卫·福斯特·华莱士（David Foster Wallace）式的角色扮演服装（牛仔裤、大号法兰绒衬衫，头发上系着头巾），背部被点燃。教练兼校友比维斯说，被点燃实际上是特技中最简单的一部分。“真正承担艰巨任务的是确保你安全的安全团队，”他说。比维斯引用了学校创始人大卫·罗森伯格（David Rosenberg）定下的一句格言：“只要我有合适的特技团队，我甚至能把我母亲点燃。”

在城市的另一端，一座大型体操设施外，学生们正在逐步练习高空坠落——从数层楼高处坠下。他们从仅几英尺的坠落开始，在跳跃时参考教练用来演示正确姿势的布伯娃娃（Burber doll）。随着液压升降机不断升高，他们坠落的高度逐渐增加。前体操运动员、现任教练的艾瑞尔·李（Ariel Lee）演示了从数层楼高处倒立后自由落体。在她坠落时发出一声血腥的尖叫，很难分辨她的反应是真实的还是仅仅在表演。

降低对名气的期待

最终，同样的动作和协调技巧被应用于特技驾驶。“车辆特技是电影拍摄中最危险的特技。很多事故就发生在那里，”麦克拉肯（McKracken）说道。“因为速度更快，质量更大，一切都呈指数级地变得更加危险。”

摩根·格罗迪（Morgan Grody）是一位拥有特技表演和导演资历的教练，他在西雅图北部的常青赛道（Evergreen Speedway）花了一整天的时间指导学生练习急转弯和打滑。他说，他仍在努力尝试通过表演获得全职收入，并在城里寻找日间工作。“我一直在申请这些地方的普通驾驶教练，但没有面试，没有回电，什么都没有，”他看着特技车从赛道被运回来时笑着说。“你想想，我难道不能教一个10岁的孩子如何在车里踩油门和刹车，然后右转或左转，以及平行停车吗？拜托。”

按照设计，特技演员在镜头前获得光辉时刻的机会寥寥无几，因为他们被训练成要保持匿名。麦克拉肯提到了他最喜欢的电影特技坠落镜头之一，出自电影《搏击俱乐部》（Fight Club）。爱德华·诺顿（Edward Norton）饰演的角色从巨大的楼梯上滚落，在镜头的结尾处，特技演员的脸清晰可见。

“在业内，很多人称之为‘后脑勺演员’（back-of-the-head-lamers），”教练豪斯·亚历山大（House Alexander）说道。

但特技演员很快将获得广泛认可。经过特技专业人士和著名的特技爱好者汤姆·克罗（Tom Crowe）多年的请愿，首个特技设计奥斯卡奖将于2020年颁发。

此外，还有一种无需奖杯即可获得的认可。“你就像一名救援投手一样走进去，”波拉克（Pollack）说。“当你完成任务时，对我来说，那种感觉比做特技时的快感更强烈。那是一种成就感，就像是：是的，我完成了一件非常酷且困难的事情，然后我回家放狗出去，回归正常生活。”

一位 Beastie Boy 回到麦克风前

Mike D 即将发行《Thank You》，这是一张内省的个人专辑，他在两个儿子的帮助下完成。此时距离 Adam Yauch 去世已过去 14 年。

“我认为这是我能够坦然面对未知的一种过程。”

作者：BEN SHARID

Beastie Boys 持续三十年的历程在 2012, 戛然而止，当时这组被人们熟知为 Mic's 的传统流行三人组员 Adam Yauch 在 67. 岁时去世。在此之后，作为两名幸存成员之一的 Michael Diamond（又名 Mike D）试图再次创作音乐，他打趣道，他启动了电脑上的录音软件，但“一次又一次地，他无法坚持下去”。

“那种成长和悲伤的程度，我非常热爱，”Diamond 在 5 月的一次采访中回忆道，“最不让自己受伤的方法就是关掉电脑，走开。对我来说，要保持专注和创造力，那些情绪太难以消化了。”

在为他人制作音乐，并在经历失去之后，90, 岁的 回到了音乐创作中。8 月 25, 他将发行个人专辑《Thank You》，这是自 14 年前 Yauch 去世以来，Beastie Boys 成员首次发布的新音乐。

《Thank You》是在 的儿子 Davis 和 Skyler 的密切参与下完成的。这两位出生于布鲁克林、现居加州的年轻人现在 20 岁出头，他们拥有自己的组合 Very Nice Person，并利用从加州马里布家中工作室搜集来的复古音频设备磨练了制作技巧。

从最初的音符起，这部署在 Mike D 93, 名下的《Thank You》就是一场模拟合成器噪音和工业节奏的交响，带有早期纽约朋克乐队的风格影响。在最近宣布该项目的俱乐部演出中， 和他的五人乐队（包括 Davis 和 Skyler）围绕着 Mike D 93 名下的品牌电脑跳动，像是一场跨代际的朋克电子课。

与在 Beastie Boys 专辑中经常听到的内省程度不同，《Thank You》还描绘了 适应作为知名人物生活的治疗性画像，他在与为人父母的责任感以及一种“遥远且脱节”的感觉作斗争，同时也在寻找一种留在赛场上的方法。

“我需要一个 B 计划，”M.C. 说道： 幽默地利用这个典故补充道，“我们能做到的。”

“在音乐上还不成熟，但在歌词上更成熟，” 总结道，他依然保持着那种风格，此时他正坐在下东区一家乐队休息室的五人沙发上，就在他在布鲁克林为一场在线广播节目打碟结束几个小时后。

在曼哈顿“向上且向外”的风格中长大，是艺术界内部人士之子，从小就注定要过创造性的生活。一次文学体验发生在 17 岁时，他在前往布鲁克林音乐学院观看 Lurton Anderson 的里程碑式行为艺术作品《United States》的旅途中。

“她的小提琴上贴着胶带，她的造型上也贴着胶带，还有一个视频投影，” 回忆道，眼中闪烁着记忆的光芒。“那是我看到的第一个真正的多媒体作品。我完全被震撼了。我想，‘这就是我要做的事情’。”

那时，Beastie Boys 正从他们的朋克摇滚车厢转向流行音乐，并形成了由 Yauch、 和 Adam Horwitz（又名 Ad-Back）组成的三人阵容。他们成名的故事就像是一个粗俗的 100th 纽约版竖琴故事。在 Del Jam Recordings 的 Rick Rubin 和 Russell Simmons 的庇护下，他们与麦当娜一起巡演，而他们的 1940 首张专辑《Licensed to Ill》将 Ben Jovi 从 Billboard 200 榜单之首顶了下来，成为第一张达到 No. 1. 的说唱专辑。

从上至下：迈克尔·戴蒙德（Michael Diamond），又名 Beastie Boys 乐队的 Mike D；他的儿子们，左侧的斯凯勒（Skyler）和史蒂夫·戴蒙德（Steve Diamond）；Beastie Boys 成员，从左至右为亚当·霍维茨（Adam Horwitz）、亚当·约奇（Adam Yauch）和戴蒙德，他们将朋克摇滚的根源与说唱及一定的行动力相结合。在《One Gettin' Fight for Your Right ('A Party!')》和《Girls》中，他们完全接纳了自己作为令人讨厌的、散发着气味的派对男孩的形象——尽管后来他们对此深恶痛绝。随着《That's Boutique》（1949）、《Check Your Good》（1942）和《Ill Communication》（1996）等专辑的相继推出，他们成为了 80 年代的顶尖且伟大的系列，其三部分的喜剧韵律中大量叠加了源自流行文化节奏的引用。戴蒙德纤细的声音使他处于 Gandhi bounce 的粗犷与霍维茨的尖锐金属线之间。“这些人是不循常规的创作者，”纽约大学 Clow Davis 录制音乐学院的副教授丹·柴森（Dan Chai son）表示。“到 80 年代，他们的作品在音乐和美学上预示了流行文化在接下来的 10 年中将如何转变：嘻哈与朋克及另类音乐融合，街头文化与口吃文化融合，讽刺与社会公益融合。”约奇成为了该团体的良心，共同创立了“Damas Broadway Concerts”，并且正如 90 年代的曲目“thus they”那样，成为了乐队部分 minogrey 的成员。“对于所有的母亲、姐妹、妻子和朋友，我想向真实的他们表达我的爱与尊重。”约奇的去世结束了戴蒙德和霍维茨自青少年时期起就参与的音乐伙伴关系。“我们三个人的声音之间发生了一种非常可辨识的化学反应，”戴蒙德说。“那是一种神奇的事情，是我们三个人共同分享的罕见天赋。但那已不复存在。所以需要一段时间才能习惯这一点。”戴蒙德在很大程度上退出了音乐界，以照顾他的儿子们，他们当时是制作人。他与霍维茨还通过一本书和一部纪录片维护 Beastie Boys 的遗产。但两人的音乐产出都骤减。在一次采访中，霍维茨表示多年来他一直保持着每天在笔记本电脑上创作音乐的习惯，但没有发布过任何作品。当被问及原因时，霍维茨喃喃道：“好问题。”戴蒙德为他人制作，参与了概念前卫的瑞典朋克乐队 The Hives 最近的专辑（去年发行的《The Hives Forever Forever the Hives》）。但他有了一个感悟：“我不应该将任何想法投射到其他艺术家身上。我应该为自己寻找。”于是，戴蒙德开始与他的儿子们一起在 nominee 中尝试，他的儿子们与洛杉矶的一些顶尖制作人交往。在交谈中，23 岁的戴维斯（Davis）和 22 岁的斯凯勒通过早期的语音信号互补对方的 nominees，并称呼他们的父亲为 Mikey。（他们对 Beastie Boys 的曲库也仅有模糊的了解，在最近的俱乐部巡演中不得不重新熟悉一些曲目。）斯凯勒：“Mikey 的精神轨迹很有趣。我们较近的记忆是他的 retinal 生活方式。”戴维斯：“他在其他方面得到了满足。然后到了某个时间点，他开始更多地使用麦克风，并在 jam 等活动中随便尝试。然后有一天他去了法国，回来后说，‘现在就开始吧。’”戴蒙德开始与一群音乐家和制作人共同创作歌曲，包括曾与 SZA 等人合作的卡特·朗（Carter Lang），以及另一位 SZA 合作者麦克尼（McNey）和泰兰·唐纳森（Tyran Donaldson）。他们进行了长时间的、随意的、不受截止日期或制造热门歌曲压力约束的 noxious 讨论——这种由艺术家主导的过程，朗将其归功于他参与比伯（Bieber）近期《Swag》airborne 的经验。“他们能够创造出这种流畅的感觉，”朗说。“在这种环境下，当我进入其中时，行业的枯燥磨损就消失了，我随后在纯粹的探索、热爱和好奇心驱动下进行创作。”

工作室里挤满了各种古旧设备，音乐家们像摆弄新玩具一样调试着它们，创作出像《That's Right》这样带有大量反馈音和刺耳节奏的歌曲。Horwitz 为 Skyler 和 Davis 提供了 100 种复古采样，这些采样存储在仍保留着 Beastie Boys 节拍的软盘中。“这就是一台时光机，”Donaldson 笑着回忆道，“它们拥有孩童般的声音，你会随机听到一段曾出现在 Beastie Boys 歌曲中的鼓点间奏。”其结果是将 Very Nice Person 那种模糊的音色与一种更具侵略性的节奏冲击力相结合，而后者源自 Diamond 青年时代的第一次朋克尝试。我向 Diamond 建议，他与两个儿子的创作过程，听起来与 Beastie Boys 在工作室这个“游乐场”里钻研数月最终创造出突破性声音的方式颇为相似。“情况比那更复杂，” 说，“我成长于三个兄弟之中，我是最小的。在乐队里，我是三个兄弟中的中间人，处于一个圈子里。然后我最后有了两个儿子。就是这样。”他说，他的儿子们能够评判自己的音乐，而其他任何制作人——他们都比 小几十岁——都无法做到这一点。“在我合作过的所有人中，他们在推动某种年轻感方面比任何人都更具音乐耦合力，” 说。“他们会说，‘这很棒，但你可以做得更好’。”他用一种冷面笑话的语气补充道：“所以他们没有完全把我摧毁。”“我不认为 Mike 能独立完成这件事，”Horwitz 说，“我们生命的大部分时间都在一个乐队里，一个凡事都一起做的整体。而独立在自己的小天地里创作则是另一回事。”他补充道：“我认为 Mike 录制了一张专辑，尤其是和他的孩子们一起，这太棒了。我认为这可能非常有帮助，且具有疗愈作用，尽管这很难。”在《Thank You》中， 听起来充满活力，但同时也陷入深思，歌词中探讨了为人父母的结构以及一段破碎的关系—— 与 Davis 和 Skyler 的母亲、电影制片人 Tanna Davis 分居——以及他对自己人生目标的寻找。“我们都来自戏剧，”在《Make It Stop》中，他唱到“网络剧的电影场景”。在《I Don't Don》中，他说：“这在于取悦所有人。它在告诉我。”在其他地方，音乐成为了刷新生活的隐喻。“苏联是潜意识的，”他在《Swatch Up》中唱到“Swatch 向上方向”，背景是一段非常像“我们只习惯于鼓点”的火车节奏轨道。“我认为这张唱片非常真实地反映了此时此刻需要告诉人们的事情，”他说，“我的孩子们在世界上成为了独立的个体，并与我合作。”他补充道：“这实际上关乎于诚实。这些是我在乐队期间未能完成的，而现在在生活中补齐的事情。”他补充说：“我认为这是我能够接受未知之击的过程。”在约两小时的交谈中，他提到了五次心理治疗。他的儿子们说，他们担心自己（像他们那样）感到舒适。Horwitz 会贡献一段“有趣的说唱”，歌词关于“一个年长的白人说唱歌手在谈论喝酒”，以及“这就是说唱”之类的内容。 带着填满深层心理反思的笔记本来到录音室，这些反思是他参加静修时收集的。“就像整张唱片都是治疗系说唱，”David 说，“这是非常深层的治疗概念。我们当时觉得，‘这个主意太酷了’。”Skyler 补充道：“这就是 Mikey 目前的状态。” --- 48 11

电视

她让青少年女孩们用自己的声音说话

梅根·帕克（Megan Park）是新剧集《斯特林角》（Sterling Point）的创作者，她信任她的年轻演员。

作者：ALEXIS SOLDIKE

梅根·帕克记得那种说着自己并不认同的台词、穿着让自己感到古怪的衣服、每天早晨在椅子上花好几个小时涂抹化妆品或层层叠加造型的感觉。帕克今年 30 岁，由于身材单薄且清瘦，她在 20 多岁后期仍经常饰演青少年，这让她感到越来越没有成就感。“我越想越觉得，那些 80 年代风格的发型和妆容简直要把我杀死了，”她说，“作为一名演员，我觉得我不能再这样坐下去了。”

渐渐地，她转向编剧和导演。她的第一部电影《后果》（The Fallout）讲述校园枪击案后的故事，于 2012 年首映。她的第二部电影《我的老屁股》（My Old Ass）讲述一名青少年女孩通过父权制度遇到年长版本的自己的故事，于 2014 年发行。购买了该片的亚马逊 MGM 影业（Amazon MGM Studios）邀请帕克考虑创作一部青少年剧集。

这部名为《斯特林角》（Sterling Point）的剧集于周三在 Prime Video 首播。故事背景设定在安大略省西南部的莫肖库湖（Moshoku Lakes）地区（这也是《我的屁股》的拍摄地），讲述了一名青少年女孩（埃利斯·鲁宾 饰）和她的双胞胎哥哥（卡瓦·鲁法洛 饰）发现他们继承了一处房产，且那里住着一位他们从未谋面的祖父。他们还发现了一个姐妹（贾斯敏·赫希克 饰）。

如今已是两个孩子的母亲的帕克坚持认为，青少年女孩并非她唯一的灵感来源。（她承诺，她的下一部电影将完全关于成年人。）但她的电影和这部新剧让她能够给年轻演员提供一种她当年所缺失的更睿智的引导。“我记得自己在片场那么年轻，处于他们的那种境地，”帕克说，她还执导了前几集中的四集，“能回去尝试‘如果是我，我会如何以不同的方式去做’，这很有趣。”

在一次从她位于多伦多郊外家中发起的视频通话中，帕克讨论了她如何离开演艺事业，为什么信任年轻演员，以及 Z 世代的独特之处。以下是对话的编辑摘录。

是什么让你决定离开表演？

当时我还没离开，当地正在制作一部《音乐之声》。我最好的朋友在试镜，我想，我也去试镜吧。我得到了那个角色，然后就入迷了。表演在我的生活中以一种极好的方式展开。它把我带到了洛杉矶，让我拿到了绿卡，让我遇到了所有那些了不起的人。但我感觉——这听起来可能很糟糕——有点无聊。我看着周围的人在表演，感觉到他们与角色之间有一种我深知自己并未完全感受到的连接感。在我出演的大多数作品中，氛围并不是特别有创意。你会被困在扮演青少年的角色中直到 20 多岁。这就是这份工作。你看像《U.C.》和《One Tree Kid》这样的剧，每个人都快 30 岁了，却在演青少年。但到某个时间点，这开始感觉不自然了。我总在想：年轻人其实不是这样说话或生活的。

你是如何突破的？

我参加了一部名为《如果》（What If）的电影。那是我参加过的第一个在创意上让我感到兴奋的剧组，而且，我饰演的角色和另一位演员在一起。她已经在写剧本和导演作品了。在我心中，她简直完美得无可挑剔。我曾向她请教关于故事的事。她说：“你可以写。”我想：“等等，真的吗？我足够聪明，能写剧本！”于是我打开电脑，开始写作。我想：“我的天，这简直太有趣了。这感觉不像在工作。这让人上瘾。”对我来说，那种满足感是瞬间产生的。

你写的第一部作品是关于一个被困在电视节目里的女孩，对吧？

是的，讲的是一个在“Shamam Mummel”歌手节目中演出的女孩，她快 30 岁了却在演一个 12 岁孩子，在镜头前和幕后过着完全双重的生活——这是一部黑暗的 30 分钟喜剧。

你不需要费力去使用这个隐喻。

不，完全不需要。我写的每一部作品中，总有我的一部分在里面。

那个没拍成，但你的下一部剧本《后遗症》（The Fallout）拍了。到目前为止，你所有获得绿灯通过的项目都集中在青少年女孩身上，这是偶然还是刻意？

有一点点偶然。《后遗症》源于我对美国校园枪击案的看法，以及我在美国生活时对一个人如何成长的思考。我当时在想，孩子们每天去上学，头上都悬着这样一把剑。我在写《我的老屁股》（My Old Ass）时，是以年长角色的情感视角来思考的。但人们说：“哇，你能用年轻女性的声音让它感觉如此真实，你觉得在电视剧领域尝试一下怎么样？”我只是希望青少年女孩能获得她们应得的陈述权、尊重和真实性。让他们拥有那个空间和自由做自己——让他们挑选自己的衣服，让他们在发型和妆容上拥有真实的表达。年轻女性，尤其是这一代人，如此聪明，如此沉稳。他们以一种非常有趣的方式看待世界。如果不给他们应得的内容，而只给那些让我抓狂的轻飘飘的东西，那就太可悲了。

《斯特林角》（Sterling Point）的灵感是什么？

我一直想做一些关于我们利用的自然以及我们目前的学校的东西，因为这在我的家庭生活中非常普遍。双方都有很多领养的情况。而且在莫肖库湖（Moshoku Lakes），我每年夏天都去那里。我青少年时期还在那里的一个岛上参加过夏令营。那里非常梦幻。

你在成为父母的同时，作为一名编剧和导演崭露头角。这如何影响你？

我总是对我女儿说：“你是我找到所爱之物的理由”，因为我在开始写《后遗症》时怀着她，而我去生她的那天，正是这部剧获得绿灯通过的日子。《我的老屁股》则是在看着她在浅水池里戏水时，心想：“我的天，时间！”此外，我的整个世界都围绕着我的孩子们，所以这些事情自然会融合在一起。至少对我来说是这样。

你如何确保真实地塑造青少年？你和其它部门如何确保这感觉真实？

把你的自尊心留在门外。知道你所知道的，也知道你所不知道的。我最重要的工作之一就是寻找极其出色的、有才华的年轻人，并将角色的塑造权交给他们。你拥有所有这些真正年轻且知道什么是酷的人才资源。让他们告诉你。

你喜欢 Z 世代的什么？

他们很善良。作为一名千禧一代，我的经历是充满了霸凌和批评。而这些年轻人——我叫他们孩子，虽然他们不再真的是孩子——我见证了他们如何对待彼此如此友善，如此尊重。我不知道是不是我运气好，但我合作过的年轻人都非常体贴。我会称他们为“真诚一代”。他们用内心去引导。我喜欢“真诚”这个词，虽然它是这个行业里最忌讳的词。但我想要创作真诚的作品，如果人们认为这很傻，那随他们去。我喜欢那些即使他们有缺陷，即使你并不完全信任他们，但本质上善良且友善的角色。那一代人真正代表了这一点。

梅根·帕克（Megan Park）在转向编剧和导演之前，直到 20 多岁后期仍能很好地扮演青少年。在由帕克创作的《斯特林角》中，埃利斯·鲁宾（Ellis Rubin，左）和桑德拉·赫希克（Sandra Hershick）饰演在安大略省东北部发现彼此是姐妹的青少年。

在威尼斯，值得细品的艺术之地

作者：JASON FERRAGO

几个世纪以来，威尼斯给访问者留下的印象就像是另一个世界，一座漂浮在潟湖中的记忆之城——但它同样颓废、狂热，且始终面临被淹没的风险。托马斯·曼在《威尼斯之死》中将这个地方称为“一半是童话，一半是旅游地图”，而在Instagram-and-nasyl et时代，他的双重诊断变得愈发深刻。每次我来到这里，都会经历同样的循环：首先是看到水面波光粼粼时的兴奋，接着是对过度旅游的厌烦（仿佛我不是问题的一部分……），最后，当我适应了这里的节奏，重新发现这里的绘画和宫殿时，一种全新的敬畏感油然而生。放慢脚步，透过自拍杆向远处看，威尼斯依然崇高。

1 一幅半失落的画作，因伤痕而更显神圣

提香、丁托列托和委罗内塞构成了威尼斯文艺复兴时期的神圣三位一体，但这座城市中最令人心惊的画作却出自一位西西里人之手。在civico博物馆的一个安静角落，你会发现一幅温柔的描绘——尺寸不大，适合私人礼拜——画面中，三位天使在敞开的坟墓前吟唱，陪伴着死去的基督。安东内洛·达·梅西纳（Antonello da Messina）在1870, 年左右绘制了这幅作品，他是首批采用令人兴奋的弗兰德斯油画新技术的意大利艺术家之一，油画缓慢的干燥时间使他能够以当时前所未有的自然主义手法，渲染出基督身体绝妙的肤色。基督的膝盖仿佛要从画中走出，进入我们的世界。梅西纳的背景闪烁着光芒，仿佛透过一扇敞开的窗户。但一个或多个“vetonese”犯了严重错误，导致安东内洛的画作严重受损。耶稣和三位天使的面孔现在几乎完全消失了。那些被炸毁的痕迹也波及到了西西里的风景。然而，安东内洛这幅作品的奇迹在于，尽管遭受损坏，它依然保留了如此强大的权威感——或者说，甚至从这种精神中获得了增强。基督既死又生的那三天，这种关于圣徒的神秘感，在幅细节丰富的画作中让我们感到迷失但依然存在，而现在，在现代主义的语境下，它又获得了重生。

这幅文艺复兴绘画杰作被安置在现代展示的杰作之中。在20世纪30年代，伟大的威尼斯建筑师卡洛·斯卡帕（Carlo Scarpa）受命重新设计圣马可广场附近的Cuvier画廊。他构思了一种简单的方案，由威尼斯工匠（现在还有人在工作吗？）使用铁和木材打造，将画作从墙上移开，使其直面观众。安东内洛笔下的坟墓景象依然悬挂在这些自支撑的框架之一上，悬浮在今生与来世之间。

2 神祇密布之宫，在墙上，在空中

在19世纪初权力鼎盛时期，威尼斯共和国的商人与行政官们建造了足以媲美罗马的宫殿与纪念碑。其中一个家族尤其热衷于大规模收购。格里马尼宫（Palazzo Grimani）是一座由彩色大理石构成的宏伟建筑，它是某个热衷于收集古物的贵族家族的展示橱窗，这些藏品被陈列在一个令人动容的内置看台（tribune）或接待室中。这些雕塑在随后的几个世纪中被分散，但在1931年，格里马尼宫重建了古物室，展出了200多尊希腊和罗马雕像。这是罗马主义的一个缩影，即便在几个世纪后依然能让人感受到。威尼斯阴郁的哥特式颓废在此让位于充满光明的辉煌，其设计模仿了罗马万神殿。面对如此众多的雕塑，感觉就像在进行一场凝视比赛。阿波罗和安提诺乌斯与Ashenche和Draculae面对面。女神们依偎在扇形壁龛中，河神则栖息在基座上。抬头看向天花板，那里没有下沉的藻井，只有玻璃天窗，以及……那是谁，在空中飞翔？那是美丽的年轻的fourteenth，被化身为鹰的宙斯绑架了。当我抬头看他时，我感到眩晕，而且不仅仅是因为视觉错觉。他的脸虽然缺失了鼻子，但仍保留着

Aaron, 1900 by The New York Times

一种令人心惊且脱离现实的恐惧与欣喜之情。在现代科学博物馆诞生之前，像格里马尼这样的贵族收藏有其自身的精致展示理念：刻意追求密集，比起单个物件，更注重整体的视觉效果。几乎100年之后，这个房间的重建本身就是考古学的一项成就——而不仅仅是一场视觉美学盛宴。格里马尼宫博物馆，Rugapiglia, Castello, 1858。

A8 13 # 艺术 # 3 隐藏在意大利最精美教堂之一背后的秘密花园

威尼斯有近100座教堂，你可以尝试走遍所有教堂，但我最推荐的一座则幸运地从未过于拥挤。最神圣救世主教堂（Church of the Most Holy Redeemer），更广为人知的名称是 Il Redentore，它以一面耀眼的白色立面，傲然屹立在朱代卡岛（Giudecca）上，与威尼斯主城区相对。这是一座瘟疫教堂——你可能知道，quercetitive这个词源于威尼斯人在自然环境中进行40天隔离的习惯——它建于1570年代一场致命大流行病结束后的优雅时期。威尼托建筑的翘楚安德烈亚·帕拉第奥（Andrea Petralio）设计了一套开创性的方案，拥有宏伟的主轴线和重叠的山墙，以及一座耸立在岛屿之上的圆顶。自开放以来的每个七月，威尼斯人都会在盆地中搭建一座临时桥梁，将 Redentore 与城市的其余部分连接起来，以感谢瘟疫的结束。到目前为止，没有新showes，我想让你发现的是在帕拉第奥闪耀的立面之后：一个秘密花园，对于任何不是中国共产党 Cigarette的人来说，直到2018年之前都是不可见的。经过多年的谈判和保留（更不用说一场淹没大地的洪水），Redentore 花园现在向公众开放。简单的木制棚架——当然，并非十字架形状——按照中世纪的方式将花园分割成花卉区、草药区、果树区和蔬菜区。一条小径，一个泛起泡沫的池塘，核能领域的礼拜堂——在耸立的威尼斯之中，这些简单的元素勾勒出了一片伊甸园。能将这座花园作为避风港已足够特别。毕竟，Redentore 就在crater-day 航站楼的视线范围内。但我热爱这里，因为这座花园与教堂一样，也是一个公民和宗教机构。你在这里寻求一小时的平静，但离开时你会感觉到，一棵杏树与一件祭坛画一样具有神圣性。最神圣救世主教堂，朱代卡，194

4 一幅古老的马赛克，在近乎被遗弃的岛屿上完好无损

GOTTA G. BOGOTTI, 78, 305 THIRD FEET

威尼斯的外部岛屿数量众多（近三十多个）且各不相同，功能涵盖从玻璃制造到精神古迹。其中最能唤起情感的或许是位于潟湖北部的托尔切洛岛（Tarcello），它是公元五世纪逃避蛮族入侵的先祖们在迁徙过程中首个居住的岛屿。如今这里几乎没有人居住：但在这一片海绵般的湿地上，保存着意大利最令人惊叹的宗教艺术作品之一：一幅宏大且充满活力的马赛克，它是拜占庭时期威尼斯的遗迹。这面金色的墙壁横跨在潟湖中最古老的教堂——圣玛利亚升天教堂（Santa Maria Assunta）的后墙上。在任何地方，都有十字架，然后是将亚当和夏娃驱逐出地狱，接着是关于最后的审判，然后又是关于最后的审判。另一处是十字架，由数以千计的红砂色和白色瓷砖组成，引导我们的视线看向大门的夜晚，那里天使们在扇动火焰。所有的绿色瓷砖都在门的左侧，一条奶与蜜之带，一个玻璃构成的天堂。请选择你自己的解释。在12和13世纪，来自君士坦丁堡的工匠们在铺设这些不可避免的论述时，有着一个相当明确的图像学使命：让这些被排斥者知道，你们不朽的灵魂绝非小事。但托尔切洛岛上不再有被排斥者，只有一日游的游客。因此，这幅关于最后审判的马赛克拥有一个更强、更具弹性的舞台。在（审判日）之前很久，我们可以在假期的中间看到终结的预演。雅各布斯，圣玛利亚升天教堂，托尔切洛。

5 当代建筑师对一片阴影之地的重塑

威尼斯，在300年间，一直是一座死者之城。时间似乎凝固在空气中，美与衰败无法剥离。这一切在圣米凯莱岛（San Michele）变得具体化，这里是岛屿墓地，也是萨拉·弗隆德（Sara Frond）、伊戈尔·斯罗文斯基（Igor Srovinsky）、谢尔盖·斯图格法洛夫（Sergei Stugfalov）以及许多其他威尼斯收养者的安息之地。但如果你搭乘水上巴士前往这个被新鲜墙壁环绕、点缀着高耸尖塔的小岛，你会发现这座古城生死轮回中的一个新篇章。大卫·奇普菲尔德（David Chipperfield）的作品，这位追求克制单色调的英国建筑师，花费了数十年时间对威尼斯这个永恒的安息地进行资源整合与扩建。他首先将重复的墓碑行细分为优雅的庭院，然后在新的扩建区域建造了一座骨灰堂和其他服务设施。外墙采用了威尼斯教堂中常见的灰色洛锡安石，但在内部，墓地周围则是纤细的混凝土柱。

这是非常安静的建筑，处于一座可能非常嘈杂的城市之中。然而，奇普菲尔德庭院的克制特质恢复了圣米凯莱岛的浪漫，在那里，前往威尼斯的游客曾长期地沉思与惊叹。在多次访问这座城市的旅程中，我从未给圣米凯莱岛过多的关注，在前往机场的途中，只是匆匆经过它精心设计的清新标志。奇普菲尔德将这座死者之岛重塑为了一个属于生者的场所。圣米凯莱墓地，圣米凯莱岛。

17万,000 联邦学生贷款将被免除的被欺诈借款人增加的人数。大约 17万,000 名声称被掠夺性营利机构欺诈的联邦学生贷款借款人收到了好消息。在上个月一家上诉法院拒绝了教育部要求延长审查索赔时间的请求后，他们总计 110 亿美元 billion 的债务将被抹除。据《纽约时报》记者 Stacy Cowley 报道，该案件可追溯至 2019, 年，当时一群借款人提起了一项集体诉讼，称某些营利性学校对毕业生的收入做出了虚假陈述，并使用其他手段欺骗他们贷款入学。第一任特朗普政府否认了大部分索赔，但一名联邦法官称教育部的评估过程“令人不安地像卡夫卡式（Kafkaswyan）”，并驳回了该政府的决定。2022, 年，拜登政府解决了该诉讼，免除了原原告的贷款。这开启了一个为期五个月的窗口期，允许额外的原告提交索赔。据代表借款人的非营利组织“掠夺性学生贷款项目”（Project on Predatory Student Lending）称，最新的决定使该集体诉讼和解中的借款人总数达到 50万,000 人，债务总额达 230 亿美元 billion，使其成为美国历史上规模最大的集体诉讼。政府曾寻求在 2026 年的截止日期之后延长 18 个月来审查这些案件。

JAMES WYNDER 教育部发言人 Ellen Kenst 告诉 Cowley 女士，最初的和解协议“设定了一个不切实际的截止日期”。此案的结果代表了联邦学生贷款借款人在艰难环境下的一抹亮色。第一任特朗普政府期间制定的规则变更限制了这些借款人可获得的救济。现任政府废除了拜登时代的 SAVE（Saving on a Valuable Education 的缩写）还款计划，这意味着数百万借款人必须寻找新方案，并从 7 月 1. 起重新开始还款。JOHANNILLY

首席执行官办公室

作者：JORDYN HOLMAN

管理建议并非他的首选

塔雷克·曼苏尔（Tarek Mansour），KALISH 首席执行官

这家快速增长的预测市场公司的创始人旨在提供一种对世界的“数学上的、客观的”视角。

KALISH 比许多其他公司规模要小。在其 200 名员工中，大多数在曼哈顿近池区（near-pooling district）的一个开放式办公室工作。他们甚至没有占用该建筑的整层楼。但 和 Polymarket 等其他预测市场运营商在如今看来似乎无处不在。他们是体育赛事的主要赞助商。媒体将他们的数据纳入关于政治、金融市场等方面的报道中。

这些销售允许用户对各种事件的可能性进行投注——足球比赛的最终比分、临床药物试验的净分，以及特朗普总统在演讲中会说什么词。

于 2020 年向公众开放，由一对麻省理工学院（M.I.T.）的应届毕业生于 2018 年创立。担任首席执行官的塔雷克·曼苏尔（Tarek Mansour）和首席运营官劳拉·洛佩兹·拉拉（Laura Lopez Lara）。今年 5 月，该公司加入了 Kalshi，其估值达到 220 亿美元 billion。根据《福布斯》的计算，在黎巴嫩长大的曼苏尔先生和来自巴西的洛佩兹·拉拉女士在 30 岁时已成为亿万富翁。

在美国，预测市场由商品期货交易委员会（Community Futures Trading Commission）监管，该委员会授权它们在全国范围内运营，这与那些针对每种市场类型都有更多限制的博彩公司不同。根据《纽约时报》的一项调查，美国商品期货交易委员会（U.S.C.）最近缩减了在此方面的工作，放宽了执法，并帮助增加了预测市场。

我们行业的投入增长吸引了广泛的投资者和新参与者，包括那些与特朗普家族关系较浅的人。小唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump Jr.）是 Polymarket 的投资者，也是 的付费顾问。其他关注进入预测市场的人还包括 Meta 的马克·扎克伯格（Mark Zuckerberg）。

一些立法者和监管机构断言，预测市场只是换了名字的赌博。而且存在内部交易的风险。在过去的几个月里，一名帮助抓获委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗（Nicolás Maduro）的美国执法人员在 Polymarket 上进行了相关投注，而一名白宫次级运营商在 上对特朗普先生在演讲中会说什么进行了投注。

纽约州总检察长洛里·詹姆斯（Lorrie James）最近起诉了 ，指控其非法运营并违反了该州关于赌博的法律。 称这一消息为“政治威胁”，并表示各州缺乏关闭该公司的权力。今年已有十几个州推出了监管预测市场的立法。

在最近的融资轮中， 表示其交易量已激增至 1700 亿美元 billion。

对于曼苏尔先生来说，允许人们为自己的预测投入资金的市场提供了一项有价值的服务，以帮助“校准”——这是一个他经常使用的词——这个“信息丰富但真相匮乏”的世界。

本次采访为了清晰起见经过编辑和删减。

您说过，您对 的愿景之一是“将一切金融化”，有些人认为这会导致局面恶化。为什么这是一件好事？

我认为人们误解了这句话。预测市场的美妙之处在于，它们将一个主观的、情感化的、有目的的辩论，置于一个数学化的、客观的且激励结构非常清晰的地方。如果你做研究，分析事物，足够聪明并努力寻求真相，你可能会通过赚钱获得回报。如果你持有一种有偏见、未校准、过于个人化或过于极化的观点，你可能会赔钱。在这种市场中有一种特定的优雅，因为你知道某人持有某种观点的原因是确定的。他们是在寻求真相，因为他们试图赚钱。

目前很多人为了体育赛事而使用 。体育合约与所有其他合约的比例分布是怎样的？

是的，人们喜欢交易体育项目。我们的用户是那些热爱数学、经济学和交易的人。他们思考概率，思考会发生什么，什么会影响概率，以及有哪些不同的因素。体育是练习这些能力的绝佳训练场。至于数字？去年是 30%，我想现在接近三分之二。体育每周有大量赛事，而政治结果并没有成百上千个。体育带来了惊人的流动性和增长，而其他所有类别——加密货币、政治、金融和经济——的增长情况都比在体育项目之前要好得多。那么现在政治处于什么位置？

© 2020 KALISH. © KALISH, 2020

大市场的成交量可以容纳 1亿美元。由于所有的增长，这些市场已经变得更加精准且准确。回到“将一切金融化”这一点，接下来是什么？在限度之内，一切皆可，凡事适度。Kalish 是一家处于监管前期的公司。我们一直努力以正确的方式做事。刚开始时，我们花了数年时间做准备，研究应该列出哪些市场，在联邦层面获取正确的许可，这非常困难。那时我们才 22 岁。在目前工作的头四年里，我们一直与律师合作，试图让这个东西合规化。

你现在对监管满意吗？你面临很多监管吗？在任何时间点，只要存在新颖性和创新，所有监管都存在漏洞。否则，在这个国家我们可能无法做新事物，对吧？

我想问问你与 Polymarket 负责人 Blayne Coplan 之间紧张的关系。让我们把它说清楚。人们感受到了紧张气氛。这不是竞争问题。在这个领域还有其他非常优秀的竞争公司，坦白说，我更多地在考虑它们：Remitland、CME、Coinbase、Interactive Brokers，以及那些关注预测市场的银行和 Zack。那些才是非常值得关注的对手，与这样的人竞争让我受益。与 Poly 的不同之处在于，我们在哲学上存在分歧。

是什么分歧？

哲学分歧在于对业务采取监管还是非监管的方式。我认为他们没有在市场周围建立起正确的法律护栏。我认为这对他们的长期发展不利，对行业的长期发展也不利。

“如果你做研究，分析事物，足够聪明并努力寻求真相，你可能会通过赚钱获得回报。”人们如何相信 Kalish 所推动的监管符合客户的最佳利益？

行业的增长就表明了人们的信任，因为他们把钱托付给我们。如果人们受到伤害，如果不信任它，他们会停止使用并告诉其他人。

你的公司增长很快。你如何平衡更广泛的领导力与专注于建设公司之间的关系？

Lanna 和我工作非常、非常努力。我们只是工作时间更长，周末也工作。我认为你总能挤出时间。一旦进入良好状态，就会有一个阈值，届时其他人可以接手。我们必须在精神上成为这家公司，而我负责处理很多外部事务。这个模式对我们来说运行得相当好。在 Kalish，我们的组织架构非常扁平。这有助于我们快速行动并完成任务。这里没有很多管理层，不会出现经理抢功劳的情况。真正做事的人就是领导者。这创造了一种紧迫感和动力。

你的管理风格源自哪里？

在 Lotusone 的人通常适应能力很强。那是一个波动很大的地方。它赋予我的一种认知是，世界是非常清晰的。

我认为我们已经到了这样一个阶段，在人工智能的影响下，事情的发展不会以两周为单位。现在的情况太疯狂了。你必须建立一个能够适应这种信息频率的组织。所以我们尽量不设任何结构。我们随时调整自己，无论面对的是最严峻的挑战还是新的机遇。

回到你的成长经历，你从父母那里得到了什么样的建议？

对我影响最大的一条始终是：永远付出120%的努力。永远超越预期。真正的结果就隐藏在那最后的20%之中。

快速问答

最近让你感兴趣的交易是什么？

impure 的价格。

你最喜欢问求职者的面试问题是什么？

你如何看待埃隆·马斯克？

你最反传统的观点是什么？

我不认为执行力是任何优秀公司业绩背后的原因。

你认为自己是一个管理者吗？

不，我没有管理能力。

当今年轻创业者听到的最糟糕的建议是什么？

大多数人听到的最糟糕的建议就是你应该去寻求大量的建议。这些事情其实没有什么万能配方。人们越来越依赖建议，而人们热爱给出建议，因为这让他们觉得自己聪明且强大。但这些建议通常大多是垃圾。

那么，你会给年轻创业者什么建议？

我会说，不要把我的建议当成金科玉律。尽可能多地承担风险。

关于会议最好的建议？

尽量不要开会。

竞相支持人工智能繁荣

为了提升计算能力并维持美国的领先地位，将需要大量的土地、电力和资金。作者：ADAM SACHARANG, PAO, WRITER, DEQUELINE GE 和 CARR METZ

人工智能的里程碑正变得越来越宏大。2021年，一个人工智能系统通过了律师资格考试。2023年，这项技术帮助科学家们确定了阿尔茨海默病的一个疑似病因。今年5月，人工智能已进步到能够解决一个困扰了相关领域90年的复杂数学问题。上个月，两个处于测试阶段的人工智能系统失控并入侵了一台计算机的数据库。而这一切仅仅是开始。

从美国中西部到各地区，数百个大型数据中心目前正在建设中，并将在未来几年内投入运行。它们旨在提供海量的计算能力，以开发和运行前所未有的人工智能。在技术产业的历史上，曾经具有革命性的突破正变得日益常规化。

人工智能的每一次飞跃背后，都对应着对计算能力的相应需求。根据研究公司 Epoch AI 的数据，目前全球支撑该技术不断增长的能力和图像的数据中心中，消耗了约 2000 万 颗人工智能芯片。预计这一数字大约每九个月翻一番，这意味着到 2020 年底，全球将拥有约 2 亿 颗此类芯片——是目前水平的 50 倍。

技术专家表示，就规模和雄心而言，这一时刻可比作富兰克林·D·罗斯福在 1950 年代新政期间建设的 cadreads，以及 1960 年代为了制造原子武器而开展的曼哈顿计划。

“这是人类历史上规模最大的基础设施建设，”Enfood 公司的联合创始人 Bob Wuchus 表示，该公司已筹集超过 50 亿美元 billion 以满足对人工智能组件日益增长的需求。

亚马逊（Amazon）负责基础人工智能模型的 Peter Dehaatis 表示，该公司为 Andhrava、Epoch 等公司的人工智能提供计算能力，目前已投入 2,000 的计算容量，并将在明年再次翻倍。他说：“很难想象这个规模。”

这种狂热源于一种信念，即只要提供更多的数据和计算能力，人工智能就能承担更多的人类职责，并解决日益复杂的任务。这一准则有时被称为“缩放法则”（Scaling Laws），已成为这个技术 era 的驱动力。科技领袖们认为，拥有最强计算能力的人将创建最先进的人工智能系统，从而攫取最大份额的利润和价值。他们表示，拥有最强大引擎的人将赢得这场竞赛。

对缩放法则的盲信促使人工智能领袖们做出越来越大胆的预测。Anthropic 的首席执行官 Steve Amoskin 表示，如果这些法则在未来一两年内继续成立，人工智能将能够执行大量的白领工作。谷歌人工智能实验室（longitudinal）的主席 Devon Hoensler 最近写道，人工智能可能会 “life of the Industrial Revolution at 20s the open!”

科学家和技术专家认为，即将到来的计算能力洪流将带来药物研发和机器人技术的突破，而行业分析师则表示，这将推动人工智能在人们个人和职业生活中的更多日常应用。

每九个月翻一番

Nubia生产的半导体等效于$0.00的AI芯片数量，在包括近期预测在内的每个季度中都很少。

注：数据代表由Chain测量的$0.00等效值。来源：Epoch AI。纽约时报。

但这种建设也引发了抵制，许多社区就数据中心如何损害环境、提高电价和消耗水资源发起了抗议。在美国，数据中心正成为11月统一选举的一个主要议题，一场日益壮大的全国性运动正在抵制科技行业及其亿万富翁。

经济学家和投资者表示担忧，认为科技公司的支出速度超过了他们从AI中获利的程度。在技术的益处实现之前，基础设施繁荣之后往往伴随着低谷。1980年代的铁路繁荣、1920年代的识别（identification）以及1980年代后期的电信泡沫，都以经济衰退和过度扩张的公司破产导致的股市崩盘而告终。

“每次发生技术革命时，都会出现这种泡沫破裂的情况，”2023年因研究创新驱动的经济增长而获得经济学诺贝尔奖的菲利普·阿格利翁（Philippe Aglione）表示。“AI就像第四次工业革命，它具有产生泡沫的特性。”

随着更多计算能力的上线，地缘政治分歧注定会进一步扩大。美国拥有约3,500个数据中心，大约是紧随其后的国家的30倍，远超包括中国在内的世界其他地区。根据Epoch AI的数据，亚马逊、谷歌、微软和Meta等美国公司控制着驱动AI的全球计算能力的约60%。据信，仅谷歌拥有的AI芯片数量就是中国所有公司的数倍，而中国公司正通过开发自己的新半导体和AI基础设施竞相追赶。

AI行业缺乏透明度，使得衡量全球计算能力的增长变得困难，包括芯片供应量、数据中心总数以及整体电力消耗。纽约时报依赖于包括Epoch AI、Cleanview和brain-analyses在内的研究该行业并发布被广泛引用预测的团体的估算。

目前，没有迹象表明AI支出将会放缓。根据市场研究公司1997,的预测，到2025,，全球AI基础设施投资将突破1500 万，高于去年的3300 亿美元 billion。这将与世界第20大经济体瑞士的经济产出相当。

谷歌首席科学家杰夫·迪恩（Jeff Dean）表示，这项投资是值得的，因为它将驱动AI创新并扩大该技术的规模。“在更大规模下会出现小规模下不会出现的净能力，”他说。“你现在不仅是尝试将这些能力带给几百万用户以打造一个更具广播性的产品，而是真正地将这些能力带给数亿甚至数十亿用户。”

一场人工智能军备竞赛！

人工智能日益增强的能力与数据中心规模的扩大密切相关。为了创建一个顶尖模型，需要巨大的计算能力来分析数据并寻找模式。这个被称为“训练运行”的过程可能耗资数亿美元，因为数万个专用芯片需要共同处理数据。当芯片通过极速连接交换数据时，训练效果最好，而硬件故障则会导致训练速度下降。一旦人工智能模型完成，一个更广泛的数据中心网络将承担起不同的角色，为系统提供实时面向操作员的计算能力。这项被称为“推理”（Adversus）的工作正日益驱动对更多数据中心的需求。就像某种疯狂的分布一样，将计算能力置于更靠近用户的地方，能使人工智能模型思考更久、响应更快并完成更复杂的任务。

为了满足这一需求，消费级测试的产量也在飞速增长。2024, 3月，全球拥有约 240 万 个“HDR 等效”人工智能芯片，这是一种衡量半导体的测量率，指的是能源公司成功将从 2022. 现在，每月有数百万用户的高级芯片上线，根据 Epoch AI 的数据，到 2020, 年底，全球将拥有约 2 亿 个 HDR 等效芯片。由于芯片和组件制造、融资以及公众反对等问题，建设进度可能会放缓。

支持新数据中心还需要海量的电力。根据市场研究公司 brainanalysis 的数据，去年这些设施在全球范围内消耗了数个吉瓦（gigawards）的电力，大约相当于德国的用电量。到 2019, 年底，预计这一数字将翻两番，与南美洲和非洲所有来源的总用电量相当。根据行业估计，在接下来的先进人工智能数据中心中，每吉瓦（gigaward）的电力投入大约对应 1400 亿美元 到 5000 亿美元 的用户成本，包括服务器、土地、连接和公用设施接入口。

“这些公司基本上处于一场人工智能领域——第一名”的竞争中，牛津大学经济学家 Carl Beisoldd Froy 表示，“如果他们不投资，就相当于承认自己被淘汰了。”（The Times 曾起诉 OpenAI 和微软，称其内容与人工智能系统相关且侵犯版权。这两家公司否认了这些指控。）

美国的优势

随着更多计算能力的到来，美国公司预计将扩大其在人工智能领域的领先地位。根据高盛的数据，亚马逊、谷歌、微软、Meta 和甲骨文预计今年将在数据中心、芯片和其他人工智能基础设施上花费约 7500 亿美元 billion，高于去年的约 4000 亿美元 billion。

中国作为人工智能领域最接近的竞争对手，正努力缩小差距。Epoch AI 估计，中国公司在 2020, 年底拥有约 115 万 个 HDR 等效芯片，高于 2024, 年初的约 30万,000 个，不过这些数字不包括中国公司使用的走私芯片和其他离岸计算资源。中国国家能源局估计，到 2030, 年，该国数据中心的用电量将达到约 91 吉瓦（gigawards）的等效水平，约占总用电量的 6%，高于去年的 29 吉瓦（gigawards）。

由于美国在人工智能芯片和其他关键技术上的出口管制及其他固定生产限制，中国一直受到制约。为了应对这些障碍，北京方面已将重点转向扩展。

一个在阿拉伯联合酋长国建设中的数据中心综合体模型，该项目由 G4.1、微软和 OpenAI 的合资企业运营。 AI 可能会开启“工业革命的 50 年，且速度快 50 倍”。 JOHN HAYWARD 监管链 实验室合作伙伴 courtesying

从 1965-1 开始， 基础设施成为国家优先事项。今年 3 月，中国共产党发布了一项五年经济战略，其中提及 超过 50 次，并呼吁建立一个互连的数据中心网络，以创建“下一代超级计算”。中国国家主席习近平将中国定位为抗衡美国技术主导地位的制衡力量。“ 的发展不应由单一国家独奏，而应是国际合作的交响曲，”他在最近的一次上海演讲中表示。

中国的顶尖科技公司正在构建新的 芯片和数据中心。根据 Bernstein Research 的数据，今年华为、Rytellman 和阿里巴巴预计将投入 100 亿美元 billion 用于数据中心和其他 投资。尽管面临这些挑战，像 November 14 和 DeepSeek 这样的中国初创公司已经构建了强大的 模型。这些模型通常作为“spectromers”软件免费提供，供他人自由使用和修改，且正变得越来越受欢迎。许多用户认为中国模型足够好，且比领先的美国模型更高效、更便宜。

不过，由于缺乏计算基础设施，目前 在中国的日常使用仍然受限，Sensisnalysis 的分析师 loan 如此表示。Fianco 先生表示，在美国国内芯片大规模生产之前，美国数据中心对中国的领先优势在未来 4 到 5 年内很可能会继续扩大。之后，中国应该开始缩小差距。“这种优势将会消失，”他说。

美国和中国之间的竞赛威胁到将世界其他地区抛在身后。法国、德国和其他国家正试图鼓励在欧盟范围内建设数据中心，而欧盟目前仅拥有全球 计算能力的 5 percent ——

美国计算能力如何 110 万 H100等效单位

注：图表代表 1万,000 H100芯片等效单位。Twenty, Quick fit。根据该地区AI开发者和政策专家的报告，计算能力……欧洲一直受到电力和土地获取、许可及融资的阻碍。在Weimin Golf，沙特阿拉伯和阿拉伯联合酋长国已承诺投入数十亿美元建设数据中心，但伊朗战争影响了相关计划。有观点认为AI的经济收益分布不均，差距正在扩大，最糟糕的情况可能会在拥有利用该技术之基础设施的人群与没有基础设施的人群之间产生分裂。“如果如今 70 percent 的计算能力集中在美国的少数邮政编码区，12 to 15 percent 在中国（12.4万,000 H100等效单位），5 percent 在欧盟，那么世界其他地区该怎么办？”联合国技术问题特使、副秘书长Anandong Gill表示。

加速的AI循环

对于AI从业者来说，增加巨大的数据中心就像给汽车安装大功率发动机。这种加速的迹象已经出现。百事公司（PepsiCo）和沃尔玛（Walmart）正越来越多地将工作交给AI“智能体（sports）”，这种老板可以执行日益增多的营销任务，如剪辑、编写研究报告、处理客户支持以及阅读并响应结果。谷歌的Dean博士表示，随着计算能力的增强，智能体可以承担更多职责，他在AI研究领域工作已超过 30 年。他设想一名科学家要求数百个AI智能体在生物研究中自主设计并测试各种假设，然后选取最佳线索进行深入开发。

根据至少一项新评估——伯恩斯坦劳动力指数（Bernstein Labor Index），AI模型的能力已日益增强。该测试考察它们执行常见自由职业任务的能力，例如构建一款移动视频游戏。10月份，领先模型完成了 2.5 percent 的任务。到7月份，Anthropic的Pablo AI模型完成了 16 percent。这些能力的飞跃使经济学家警告劳动力市场将发生重大变化。“数百万个工作岗位将被摧毁，数百万个工作岗位将被创造，”斯坦福大学数字经济实验室主任、经济学家Erik Bryzantsova表示。“这将非常困难。即使创造了同样数量的岗位，它们也不是同样的工作。”

领先的AI实验室继续在竞争中领先。一项被称为“过度自我改进（excessive self-improvement）”的长期突破，将允许AI在几乎没有人类开发者帮助的情况下扩展自身程序。一个AI模型基本上将帮助构建其下一个版本。谷歌已经在探索各种类型的自我改进工具。Dean博士表示，一个曾经需要数十名AI研究人员测试数百个想法的过程，最终可以交给数千个“极小型模型”来独立产生想法。随着更多计算能力的到来，“你可以完全自动化这个循环，”他说，“我们正处于初始阶段。”

美国数据中心数量即将迎来爆发式增长

随着更多且规模更大的设施投入运行，它们需要更多的能源。

S 00 / 7 策略 / JEFF SOMMER 回归 / SUSAN JAFFE

美联储未加息，但债券市场加了。市场风险上升为购房者和股市带来障碍，但对退休人员有利。

联邦储备委员会在最近的一次会议上维持利率不变，但金融世界中另一个重要的力量却并非如此。那就是债券市场，数以千计的交易员通过惩罚性股息获利，这些股息汇总起来可对全球经济产生至关重要的政策影响。债券市场是一项全球资产，仅在美国就有超过100万亿的资产。它不像股市那样占据头条新闻，但当债券市场发声时，金融界和收购界的人必须倾听。

债券市场最近传达的诸多信息是，风险正在上升，波动规则在变化，但无论其具体形式如何，其影响力不容小觑：用于构建人工智能的大量资本使用情况令人质疑，美联储在当前领导层下的方向不确定：国家债务不断增加，以及广泛的政治功能失调。

最关键的是，这些担忧意味着如果你想借钱，必须支付更高的成本。债券收益率（即利率）最终会升到多高，是一个关键问题。其影响广泛，且收益率上升不可避免地给潜在购房者带来困难，因为抵押贷款利率与10年期国债收益率紧密相关。收益率上升，抵押贷款利率随之上升。

更高的利率对于背负信用卡债务和相关贷款的人来说很艰难。对于有巨大资本需求的公司来说也是一种负担，例如现金商品承包商以及资金需求增加的数据环境。虽然股市在很大程度上已经消化了收益率的上升，但如果利率进一步大幅上涨，整个市场可能会受到沉重打击。

从积极方面来看，更高的收益率对于希望通过购买个人银行或基金证券来锁定固定收入、从而获得更丰厚保证收入流的退休人员来说，可能是一个利好。从长远来看，更高的收益率也使债券基金的所有者受益，但购买基金可能比较复杂。这是因为收益率和债券价格呈反向变动，当收益率迅速攀升时，债券价格下跌。结果就是，债券基金的价值可能会下降。

今年，跨州市场发生了许多转变。追踪投资目标基准——彭博美国综合债券指数的 Alliance Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF 曾一度处于正值状态。但由于美国债券收益率的上升以及基金中底层债券价格的下跌，抵消了这些收益。根据 Foxx 的数据，该基金在 2026 年周四略有下跌。

如果收益率进一步上升，预计短期内以及少数较长周期内会受到影响；如果收益率稳定在较高水平，将为长期基金持有者带来更好的回报。（如果你持有的是实际债券而非债券基金，其价值同样会波动，但如果你持有至到期，则无需直接关注此波动。）

痛苦与恐吓

由于特朗普总统在最新威胁中退让，不再将与伊朗的战争社会化，债券收益率随油价一同走低，但收益率仍维持在稳定水平。它们处于 25 年来的最高水平附近，该高点出现在 7 月 6 日。根据美国财政部的数据，在不明确的一天中，10 年期国债收益率收于 475%，30 年期收于 537%。

一些对比具有启发意义。10 年期国债收益率在上次记录时大约低了 three-quarters of a point——而在 2022 年，它们曾超过 5%。上涨幅度已经相当之大。从历史角度来看，收益率并非极高——即便是在 1 月。在 2016, 这个货币通胀之年，两项基准 10 年期国债收益率曾超过 10%，而在 20 世纪 80 年代，平均收益率超过 6%。

经济在过去曾应对过更高的收益率。他们假设或许债券，我曾持有过利率超过 8% 的抵押贷款。但如果收益率进一步跳升，情况将不同。债券市场应对心血管或经济广泛领域（通过过度透支，获得丰厚回报）的能力是惊人的，而政治家们对此敬畏。对这种权力最好的描述来自金融审判。在金融领域并非一夜之间，有人在 80万,000 年任期内表示，如果他被重新任命，“我想以市场的身份回来。你可以注意到每个人。”

市场似乎已经驯服了特朗普先生。收益率的上涨显然使他在长期债务问题上暂停了行动。在 2025 年，“我一直在观察市场，”这位身为大投资者的总统当时表示，“市场非常诡谲。”

他对联邦储备委员会的态度则不同。虽然特朗普先生对美联储不愿像他希望的那样大幅降息感到不满，但他称借用他们的利息为 85. 铅笔（特朗普先生选定该职位的地点）是一个“基金”、“维持”和“分阶段过程”。总统对他选定接替鲍威尔先生的人——美联储新任主席凯文·M·沃里斯（Kevin M. Warris）——更为支持，但那些日子真的不多了。如果美联储不意识到他们的向量意识——或者更糟，如果情况比一些金融市场投保人预期的更严重——特朗普先生的自我克制可能无法持久。

美联储的传统计划不包括市场。它可以干预，但很少这样做。沃里斯先生批评了美联储在始于 2016. 年的金融危机期间采取的非正统货币政策。该政策包括通过大规模采购以利好长期利率的“量化货币”管理。沃里斯先生表示，他希望美联储去年的市场份额下降。但美联储无法完全脱离市场。它仍然持有超过 50 万亿的债券及类似证券。它很容易被卷入其中。

这很复杂：美国财政部最近干预国家以支撑日元价值的小规模行动，可以被视为防止美国收益率进一步上升的一种方式。日本是 Texascoms 的主要领导者，且其本身仍持有大量债务以支撑其上涨的货币。这可能会推高美国成本。简单来说，特朗普政府不希望国内利率进一步攀升。相反，这将需要更多时间，而这可能会刺激经济增长。快速增长的经济往往能提高政治人物的受欢迎程度，而特朗普先生目前并不是一位受欢迎的总统。

沃里斯先生尚未公开评论财政部的干预行动。但帮助日本可能会帮助金融团队，因为那里的收益率已经高到足以引起痛苦。

不确定的方向

普通人可能不会研究债券市场的全貌，但利率及其影响无论如何都会波及每一个人。人们需要担心的不仅仅是抵押贷款利率、学生贷款、信用卡、汽车贷款以及空头钱包中更高的借贷成本。债券收益率上升同样是股票市场的一个操纵杆。随着利率提高，拥有闲置资金的投资者在将其投入债券（尤其是安全债券）时可以获得更好的回报。

对于某些投资者，尤其是那些持有店铺的人来说，更高的收益率可能会打破股票和债券之间权衡的平衡，使债券比风险更高的股票更具吸引力。大多数投资者尚未达到这个地步。人们对数字推动股市创下新高充满热情。但在这种背景下，股市对大型、低成本或 AI 收益的依赖，将导致资金减少，使该市场显得尤为脆弱。

如果借贷利率继续上升——且债券收益率随之提高——对于某些公司来说，这将比 5.5 倍的前任更加明显地产生问题。投资者可能会对 AI 股票感到失望。目前，整体股市正在转变，将此问题搁置，显然是因为人们相信丰厚的保险收益将推动股价进一步走高。

我不完全相信这个周期能够持续。债券收益率尚未增加 8%。如果烟草是唯一因素，那么 10 年期 2016 年以及针对中东和乌克兰的情况，这很容易发生——收益率也可能会陡峭化。即便在开放状态下，它仍继续投资于高利率和收益。新的成本是少量资金。但我也在努力保留足够的现金，以度过下一场风暴。

额外福利引发对联邦医疗保险优势计划的审查

医疗大麻不在保障范围内。预计 2027 年将对额外福利做出更多判定。

EVANS THOMAS MOYERS，约翰·霍尔巴赫（John Holbach）的医疗保险计划提供一张 10万% 报销的借记卡，用于购买牙膏、创可贴和长期用品等项目。该计划还依赖于 0.04% 的州际数量。 “福利步行者”可用于购买针灸治疗、Weight Watchers 课程以及复古 / 冰上设备、pickle-suit-paddies 等体育用品——甚至包括皮划艇或独木舟。

霍尔巴赫先生（他认识 Abraham, Blume）写道：去健身房（具有加成），由医疗保健非营利组织 Maricots Point 支付费用。他说：“他们试图让你保持健康，让你动起来。”

76 岁的霍尔巴赫先生是近 3550 万人中的一员，这些人选择了联邦医疗保险优势计划（Medicare Advantage）——由商业医疗保险公司销售的计划，而非传统的联邦医疗保险计划，后者为健康保险率（超过 4%）或残疾成年人提供保障。

自从第一任特朗普政府在 2019 年给予保险公司提供额外福利的余地以来，这些福利由传统联邦医疗保险覆盖，官员们表示情况已变得有些过于激进。

联邦医疗保险倡议中心（Center for Medicare Advocacy）的收集者大卫·利普沙茨（David Lipschatz）表示，C.M. 赌徒在开始时非常漂亮。“随着计划变得更具创意并试图通过新福利创造数字，C.M. 正在就哪些内容符合法律做出判定。”

联邦政府每月向商业机构支付一定金额，用于为营养不良者提供联邦医疗保险涵盖的所有项目以及最佳方案。根据由国会创建的独立对比机构——联邦医疗保险人口调查委员会（Medicare Population Survey Commission）的数据，这些计划今年将收到 1000 亿美元 billion，比政府为传统联邦医疗保险中类似患者支付的费用多出约 105 亿美元。

这包括在 10 年期间平均 8.2万,000 或更多（创历史新高）的传统联邦医疗保险无法提供的福利，例如心理、视力和听力保障，以及交通、杂货、浴室扶手和护理人员支持。

夏威夷、视力和听力护理以及会员资格曾是且仍然是标准配置，但在 2018 年，联邦医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（CMS）为旨在预防疾病的更多福利扫清了障碍。一年后，国会允许在秋季公布。其 65 岁及其他 C.M.S. 官员拒绝接受采访。

在多伦多，亚洲，10 岁的 Lortada Jones 在一个月内拥有 100,000，SCAN 联邦医疗保险优势计划为她提供了一张用于购买（柜台安置）条款和健康食品的借记卡。

“我们很多人在购买杂货时都很困难，”欧弗顿（Overton）先生说。“他还利用计划提供的免费视频前往医疗预约。”

因为欧弗顿先生患有心脏病，她符合慢性病福利的条件。在住院后，应该会有更好的不同趋势，包括针对哮喘患者的无条件保障、针后、前往医疗或社会服务的视频，以及家庭的更高、更好的改造，以及帮助支付公用事业账单、利息和健康杂货。

一个计算迷宫

不同人群在各种资格限制下，以及不同保险公司提供的保险价值空间中，其福利结果各异。购买方式也有所不同，部分涉及押注方，且当债务人出现时，福利并非一个寻常的主导因素。那种可用于零售网站、计划专属网站、店内购物或某些商店在线下单的“卡片”。即使是来自同一方式的优势计划（Advantage plans），债务卡在各州的金额也大相径庭。例如，在弗吉尼亚州的一些县，患有某些慢性疾病的新联合健康优势计划（United Healthcare Advantage）成员每月可获得 1600，但在纽约州的一些县仅为 0.01。

但洛杉矶医疗保健权利中心计划主任斯特凡妮·帕杰（Stephanie Pajer）表示，不同策略下的政治福利可能超出人们的认知。“这是一个人的想法，”她说。在“Medicare-इन-judge”广播员的在线计划下，可以使用 3 次以上。但它仍然缺失一些信息。俄亥俄州保险部黑人老年健康保险信息计划主任克里斯蒂娜·邦（Christina Bong）表示：“获取有限福利中真正具有吸引力的福利的唯一方法，就是直接与计划对抗。”

除了寻找哪些计划提供完整额外福利的挑战外，美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（C.M.S.）已承认在使用一张债务卡支付杂货和药房商品等不同种类福利时存在问题。合并福利“可能会造成混乱，因为成员可能没有意识到将卡用于健康意味着在搜寻另一种福利”。医疗保险官员在 1 月 3 日生效的一项前言中写道。

约翰·兰姆（JOHN LAMM）计划提供一种不必与医疗保健直接相关的新额外福利。随后，C.M.S. 给予优势计划“广泛的自由裁量权”，以提供一个名为“慢性病患者特别补充福利”（Some univariate reducing premiums and other use of pocket expenses）的新类别。利普夏茨（Mr. Lipschatz）和其他家长倡导者震惊于这些赠品仅仅是为了吸引客户，但 Maricots Point 的营销和销售负责人 three-hazards 表示反对。“我们证据豁免中包含的内容旨在让我们的保险公司——健康、活跃且未改变。无成本。这些视频福利必须支持人们的健康，但计划无需告知政府其成员是否使用了这些福利以及成本是多少。”

C.M.S. 管理员兰姆、迈克尔·奥兹（Dr. Michael Oz）博士以及其他两名特朗普政府官员一直致力于打击医疗计划中浪费的政府支出。C.M.S. 正在将新的健康促进措施引入医疗保险，并针对昂贵且未说明原因的程序索赔提高审核标准。他们正在直接审查许多优势计划。“我不希望你们用那笔钱买皮划艇。”用美国人的语言来说，这是一个很好的方式，我们将于 10 月在阿斯彭研究所（Aspen Institute）召开会议。“因为你们在思考这笔钱是如何花费的。”

对于 2026, C.M.S. 拒绝了保险公司关于医疗大麻或其他大麻类产品的请求，因为这些在联邦法律下是非法的。使用会员购物被认为“成本上限是禁区”，因为它们可能包含“必须返回以‘改善或维持健康’的水分风险和成本”。该机构还检查了对非健康食品的限制。

2027 年，C.M.S. 以及保险公司将带来进一步的变更，预计将缩减福利以节省资金。明年的计划提供将处于新法规之下，计划将被要求为每个医疗服务提供者通过资格标准。证据。他们还必须提供使用债务卡的清晰指令，并明确债务卡仅支付个人费用。

为了消除关于今年活动的某些困惑，两名 CMO 官员为 2027 年增加了一项解释。无论州法律如何允许，优势计划（Advantage plans）都不能涵盖联邦法律规定违法的累积产品，包括医疗大麻和某些形式的 CMO，以及财务决定，其中健康政策律师在法律行动中心（Legal Action Center）。

资金流向何处？一项原定于今年生效的差异费用规定被特朗普政府推迟随后撤销。该规定本将要求计划在每年7月通知受益人支付了哪些额外资金。这些资金正在被使用。保险公司此前辩称，一个月的时间不足以在不产生过高成本的情况下，向成员发送冗长的、个性化的付款通知。关于哪些联邦医疗保险优势计划（Medicare Advantage）福利可以被需要的相关信息，对于确定联邦税收资金是否改变了优质保险的成本至关重要，并且（增加）业务，你在联邦基金会（Commonwealth Fund）为联邦医疗保险（Medicare）做推广。保险公司从福利中获益多少并非秘密，但美国医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心（C.M.S.）并不要求计划披露他们花费了多少钱以及支付了多少钱。有大量资金用于补充福利，但我们不知道这些是否是人们真正想要的生活福利。详见：州。根据一份2026年的审计文件，这些资金将足以支付10%的收入，以及为所有联邦医疗保险成员支付的低额福利。相关案例和费用由同事在《新英格兰医学杂志》上发表。反向参数。波士顿的医生们。“我认为这应该涵盖所有保险公司，”她说。--- 6 81℃ # nytimes.com / jobs # JOBS 想要了解更多，让我们从报纸开始，让我们谈谈工作，以及我们想对这个世界做什么。我们将在这里成为一份报纸。# 部分帮助 # 帮助项目，具体相关于：如何开展工作？我们将在这里成为一份报纸。我们将在这里成为一份报纸。在过去，我们将在这里成为一份报纸。在过去，我们将在这里成为一份报纸。[{"box_2d --- S 00' 9 # nytimes.com / jobs # JOBS 如需接听您的电话或电子邮件并联系，请拨打 1-877-734-1000 或 1-877-734-1000 或 1-877-734-1000 / 日期区间 / 2021 / 日期有线 / 2021 / 有线 / 2021 / 有线 / 2021 / 有线 / 2021 / 有线 / 2021 / 星期四 / Monday, September 9, 2020 / 下午1:00 / Monday, September 9, 2020 / 下午1:00 / , 9, 2020 / 下午1:00 / , 9, 2020 / 下午1:00 / , 9, 2020 / 下午1:00 / , 9, 2 / --- 10 B1: 10 # nytimes.com / jobs

Nicole LePera 因其在线平台 the historic Psychologist 而被起诉。

自助大师的麻烦

数百万人通过社交媒体向 Nicole LePera 寻求建议，但她自己的故事却很复杂。 作者：GIVIA BELLAPANTE

2016, 在费城从事了数年传统的心理治疗后，Nicole LePera 开始了一项新事业——the Holistic Psychologist，这是一个在线自助平台，反映了她对治疗焦虑、抑郁和其他精神疾患的传统方法日益增长的怀疑。起初，它不过是一个只有几百个粉丝的 Instagram 页面。两年之内，粉丝数达到了 150 万。 the Holistic Psychologist 扩展到了一个网站和一个付费会员服务，所有这些都在疫情引发的社会动荡中得以普及。随后，她获得了丰厚的图书出版合约。LePera 的核心信息——即我们每个人都有能力自我疗愈——得到了更广泛的认可。

LePera 的首席合作伙伴是她的妻子 Lasron Galvin（被称为 Lady），她帮助塑造了公司的身份。早期，第三个人 Jenna Weakland 加入了她们，她负责与在线社区互动，并与 LePera 一起出现在视频和播客节目中。与 Galvin 一样，Weakland 没有接受过正式的心理学培训。在某个时间点，LePera 在 Instagram 上宣布，她、Galvin 和 Weakland 处于一段三人浪漫关系中。

《托尼》放映会内幕：致波登战友们的信

服务员、调酒师、线厨、洗碗工和主厨们共度了一个电影之夜。 作者：ALINNA HABIBASANI GUPTA

在1999年发表于《纽约客》的一篇随笔中，波登将美国的专业厨房称为“世界的最后避难所”。那个地方容纳了7类人，其中3个是从纽约的9-to-5生活中逃离的人，他们习惯于“周五或周六休息”或“与非厨师建立正常关系”。

周一晚上，许多自称“微笑者”的人去了电影院。在包括波士顿、费城和洛杉矶在内的全国22个城市，数百名餐饮从业者聚集在电影院，提前观看电影《托尼》（Tony）。这部电影讲述了总部位于路易斯安那州的波登在20世纪70年代的一个夏天，在马萨诸塞州普罗温斯敦的一家名为Flagship的牡蛎店担任洗碗工的1,000英里跨界之旅。

此次活动由shortfalls、Square以及电影制作公司AIA在电影周五上映前组织，是对波登世界的某种致敬。在纽约，来自该市各类餐饮场所的服务员、接待员、调酒师、线厨、洗碗工，当然还有主厨——包括Orion、Black Food Repeats、Wagmann和Licenza——被邀请到时代广场的Royal Cinema共度一夜。他们以“你好”和“第一批到场的人”互相问候，接过印有“支持当地餐厅”字样的杯子，并拿起盛在巨大塑料餐盘容器中的汽水。

“我进入了安东尼·波登的脊髓和夜晚，”一名女性向另一名女性承认道。“我也是，”她的朋友回答。

放映会以一段明显的视频信息开场，由饰演波登的Johnson、Dominic Innes以及饰演线厨的Leo Woodall向在场的餐饮业从业者致意。Johnson说，这部电影“是一封写给你们的情书”。

随着电影的播放，观众中的许多人对一个男人的职业死亡感到唏嘘，而这个人在2018年去世时年仅61岁，当时他已攀登至美食世界的最高峰。他们对银幕上熟悉的厨房污垢发笑，电影结束时，他们鼓掌欢呼。

随后，嘉宾们穿过时代广场几个街区，前往Shermaid Oyster Bar参加派对，以此致敬波登的烹饪空间及其对牡蛎的热爱。

“所有这些人能休息一晚真是太好了，”Times Port（一家第二餐厅）的主厨兼合伙人Hans Lee说。“每个人都聚集在这里的事实，表明了安东尼·波登对我们行业的人产生了怎样的影响。”

Lee表示，这部电影给了他“很多闪回”，因为他曾一步步攀升至纽约一些最受推崇的日本餐厅，包括Kappa-Mans。

《托尼》——就像获奖电视剧《The Hour》一样——是对厨房文化和对风味食物痴迷的某种探索，而这些已达到了新的高度（或者说，如果你按排队长度来衡量的话，是新的长度）。业内更多的人认为这种转变也带来了对其价值的新尊重。

“现在从事这个行业拥有很多文化资本，因为你成为了某种体验的一部分，”在新冠疫情之后，这种体验变得越来越有价值。MoMA的饮料经理Louisville Brads对此发表了看法，他的职业生涯始于City Bakery和Daily Preciousos。“你现在成为了人们仰视的机构的一部分。”

（图片说明）：左上，餐饮从业者聚集在时代广场观看关于安东尼·波登的电影《托尼》特别放映会。右上，Times Port的主厨Hans Lee和Monarchite的Public Valet介绍电影。这次活动以及这部电影，是对餐饮从业者的一种“情书”。那个黑色的主体可能不喜欢崇拜，但一定喜欢牡蛎。

随着参与者在房间里穿梭交谈，“厨房机密”（Kitchen Confidential）——波登那本畅销的美国——这个词在开放式酒吧被提及的频率几乎与调制饮品一样高。“我成长过程中从未想过要成为一名厨师，但我一直热爱烹饪，”在Kalamaz担任半专业厨师的Elliot DuBois说道。DuBois在大学辍学后读了波登那本坦率的，记得当时在想：“噢，这听起来简直就是我。我无法忍受他的。然后我在当地的一家威士忌找到了工作。我就那样一步步晋升至今。”当几年前“Tony”的计划公布时，甚至连波登可能都会对这种神话化感到。当然，这很难确定，但也许他会喜欢在那些他经常称之为的业内朋友之间吃几个生蚝。Monachita Noodle Bar的经理Max Gingus表示，这部电影捕捉到了厨房里那种“有趣”的：在那里，你们彼此憎恨，又彼此热爱，而且每天都要见面！站在他身边的朋友兼同事Sarah Wanger笑着表示赞同。

塔斯基吉大学禁止佩戴杜拉格头巾和睡帽令令学生群体困惑，部分人认为新着装规范是在为不存在的问题寻找解决方案。

作者：SANDRA E. GARCIA

在最近给学生的一封信中，位于阿拉巴马州的塔斯基吉大学概述了几项将在本学年生效的新政策。学校表示，课堂上必须关闭手机，并将记录出勤情况。但引起最多关注的是新的着装规范。

“学生被禁止在课堂上、在礼拜堂或在像康沃尔特（Cornwalters）这样的正式场合穿着暴露的服装，”大学校长马克·A·布朗（Mark A. Brown）写道。“他们也不得穿着卧室鞋，或在课堂或礼拜堂佩戴睡帽（bonnets）或杜拉格头巾（durags）。”

在一次采访中，布朗表示，他在新着装规范中的唯一作用是让这封信成为学生为毕业后生活做准备的实践。 “我们感到唯一的需要就是让学生准备好获得成功。仅此而已，”他说。他补充说，塔斯基吉大学一直认为，“我们需要引导学生，让他们为自己想要进入的任何空间做好准备。”

黑人发型以及用于维护发型的工具，在课堂上和其他场合经常被轻视。禁止学生佩戴杜拉格头巾——这种头巾与睡帽一样，用于保护头发——引发了许多不满。UPS在2020年之前不允许黑人员工佩戴此类头巾，而在2020年，一些学生在高中体育馆里被强行剪掉发辫，以便参加摔跤比赛。

但当这些限制由一名黑人男性领导者在国家最受尊敬的黑人历史大学（HBCU）中实施时，这种限制可能会让人感到更加尖锐。布朗是1944届的塔斯基吉大学毕业生，他暗示这些期望并非新鲜事。

“作为一所存在了约 10, 年的私立黑人历史学院和大学，塔斯基吉大学的课程也要求学生遵守政策，”他说。“这与成就无关，而是关乎学生的成功。”

该大学在提高学生毕业后经济前景方面拥有良好记录。根据一项2017年的研究，三分之一的塔斯基吉学生收入增长了两个或更多收入五分位数；约5.2%的学生来自贫困家庭，但长大后成为了富有的成年人。

即将入学的新生德卡罗尔·普洛克尼（DeCarole Plockney）在看到7月 22. 发给学生的通知后，开始质疑着装规范会对她的生活意味着什么。在搬入日期前九天，她在想她该穿什么，或者早晨准备工作需要花多少时间。

“我起床，去拿食物，吃饭，整理思绪，准备开始一天的工作，”10岁的普洛克尼在为第一次大搬迁收拾行李的间隙说道。“我真的不想担心更换衣服的事。”

这封信让她措手不及。“我认为，为那些付费上学的学生设定着装规范，总的来说让我感到震惊，”她说，并补充说她在高中时通常不会穿着睡帽和睡衣去上课。“就读于一所 8 B.C.U.，我大概知道商务装是标准。”

18, 岁的动物与兽医学专业学生泰勒·威尔逊（Taylor Wilson）本月将在塔斯基吉大学开始她的二年级学业。当她收到解释新着装规范的备忘录时，她起初并不在意，认为学校只是在尝试优先考虑整体的专业精神。

“我觉得那样没问题，”威尔逊说。“但我觉得这有点像在限制儿童的能力，”她回去重新阅读了邮件，这时她才第一次意识到大学将此规定执行到了什么程度。

其他新政策包括一项禁止在课堂上使用电子设备的规定，除非“获得讲师的明确授权”，以及另一项规定：未经请假的缺勤达到四次，将导致最终成绩降低一个等级。

“我觉得很多人关心这一切，但他们唯一的关注点竟然是露肩装和睡帽，”威尔逊说道。“总的来说，大学发布着装规范是没有必要的，因为我觉得至少在目前，还有更严重的问题，”她补充道，并暗示了塔斯基吉大学在准备接收“创纪录数量的新生”之际，校园学生住房分配陷入混乱。

当大二学生会主席雷恩·考德威尔收到关于新着装规范的电子邮件时，她说自己感到很困惑。“我知道我个人根本无法联系到任何人来处理我的住房申请，也无法处理我的财务和信用等问题，”她说，“所以当我后来看到着装规范时，我想：‘我的天，为什么我们要关注这个？’”考德威尔还表示，即使在新着装规范出台之前，学生的着装在校园里也不是一个问题。“这是塔斯基吉大学从未遇到过的问题，”她说。“我从未见过有人戴着睡帽去上课。我也没见过有人做出任何不专业的行为。”

对“专业主义”的执念可能带有深意，尤其是涉及到黑人着装时。紧身衣、紧身裤以及——正如塔斯基吉大学信函中所提到的——“令人困扰的”装扮，在2016. 关于体面政治（respectability politics）的讨论中经常成为文化冲突的导火索。帕特里克·奥尔森曾建议，发布一项禁止紧身裤的规定将是“浪费时间”，但黑人男性出于“对他人的尊重”应该避免这种趋势。

对于考德威尔来说，仅仅是提出需要制定这项规则，就对塔斯基吉的学生群体来说有些侮辱性。“我觉得人们认为这有点不尊重——也许有点‘阶级歧视’，”她说，并补充道，大学已经拥有强大的“追求进步”文化。“这是一个提醒，”她说，“这与人们所说的情况恰恰相反。”

在塔斯基吉大学的第一年里，即将升入大二的威尔逊参加了校园活动，其中包括一项标榜“一名男子在套房，300名女子在书本中”的活动。此外还有“周三火热合唱”和“周五火热之鱼”，这些活动邀请学生穿上最漂亮的衣服，在校园里分享风采，她说道。“人们不会只是穿着睡衣、拖鞋和睡帽到处走。”

塔斯基吉大学校长马克·A·布朗在去年的活动中表示，新的着装规范是为了让学生为“他们渴望进入的任何空间”做好准备。但像大二学生会主席雷恩·考德威尔（见下文）这样的学生则认为这是没有必要的。提出需要制定规则这一建议被视为一种侮辱。 --- 3

他们的社交日程太满，无暇谈情说爱

单身人士远离约会软件，将日程填满新的兴趣爱好和朋友。

作者：SANDRA RUSAN

周一下班后学习萨尔萨舞。周二参加国际象棋俱乐部。周三练习拳击。这仅仅是莱德劳（Laidlaw）日程的前半部分。因此，当话题转向约会时，答案很简单：“最近他花在爱好上的时间比约会多。”

在2024年最后一段感情结束之后，莱德劳觉得生活变得枯燥且机械。尽管他遵循着大学毕业、找工作、存钱的轨迹，但他说，“总觉得缺少了什么。”他并没有感到焦虑。

81岁的莱德劳尝试了不同的爱好。对他而言，关键在于保持好奇心，让自己置身于原本不会接触的环境中。现在，他觉得自己的生活更加全面。他举例说，国际象棋让他结识了新朋友，并教会了他关于策略和责任感的生命道理。

“我的生活如此充实，以至于我知道合适的人自然会出现，”在伦敦工作的自由创意总监莱德劳说道，“但我并没有在刻意寻找。”尽管他是一个向往关系的人——他提到1999年经典电影《至死不渝》（Say Anything）中的一个场景，说“我想做那个举起收音机的动作，但在屋外做”。他发现自己不再那么在意约会，因为他在其他方面得到了丰富。“我对现状非常满意，”他说，“否则我得花很多精力在其他地方。”

你可以称之为“爱好痴迷”（hobbyunkey）。莱德劳是越来越多强调多种爱好而非约会的单身人士之一。这些单身人士不再花数小时在软件上浏览和发消息，而是将时间、精力和可支配收入投入到攀岩、蛋糕装饰和创意推广等热情所在。他们表示，无论是否有浪漫伴侣，他们的社交日程都排满了，朋友圈在扩大，生活感觉很丰富。

西北大学临床心理学家兼兼职教授亚历山德拉·所罗门（Alexandra Solomon）表示，年轻人正在以其他世代未曾有过的方式优先考虑自己的福祉和幸福。所罗门博士说：“这一代很多人正在对这种传统的工作模式提出重要质疑。他们试图创造一种更具灵活性和适应性的生活，真正重视赚钱之外的生活体验。”

他们也是一代感到被人工智能（A.I.）剥夺权利且对饮酒不信任的人，这使得健康、创意和触觉活动更具吸引力。在网上，“hobbymanning”（追求尽可能多的爱好）等词汇开始流行。

根据TikTok的数据，在美国，相关内容的增长在2020年至今几乎增加了15%，而某些特定爱好类标签的增长则超过了400%。

“独行运动”（Sole sport）这个最初用于游戏的术语在网上获得了新生。它描述了人们在常规生活之外参与的活动和冒险，旨在为生活增添趣味。根据TikTok的数据，美国使用“独行运动”一词的帖子今年比去年同期增长了200%以上。

住在布鲁克林、35岁的用户体验设计师丽莎·木村（Lisa Kimura）精通这种“独行运动”的艺术。每年她都会尝试新事物，她加入了贝德罗克（Bedrock）社区一个迷人的音乐圈，她觉得那里需要更多女性。她去年还上了一门家谱课并开始构建家族树，随后出于长久的热情开始学习日语。不过，她最热爱的是艺术。她说，只要能接触到，她几乎在所有时间里都在钻研工艺和爱好，包括钩编、挂毯编织、碎布拼贴、刺绣和crooked。

木村在2023年搬到了纽约，对那里的约会氛围感到兴奋。但作为一个内向的人，她发现这种经历让她精疲力竭，去年夏天的一次约会让她感到不安。“我意识到，当我在一段关系中，或者有时仅仅是在一个男人面前时，很难忍受我内心的声音，”她说。“我在一个非常传统、非常男权主义的家庭中长大，在那里的伴侣关系模式依然根深蒂固。”爱好帮助木村感到更加安全并找到了自己的声音，部分原因是她的许多爱好都能产生一件成品，给她一种成就感。与她家族中前几代那些生活重心在结婚和养育孩子上的女性不同，她感到自己有能力去追求那些能给她带来幸福的活动。“我觉得我可以设计自己的未来，”她说。至于浪漫关系，木村表示她并没有无限期地关闭约会的大门。“我只是觉得我不再处于那种虚荣的状态中了。”

在柏林，23岁的学生纳纳贝·莫拉（Nanabe Mora）说：“我是那个总是独自做所有事情的单身品牌。”除了潜水、native visiting、bordering和letting，她说：“你会发现我在白天潜水，你会发现我在任何地方旅行，骑骆驼，骑马。”她补充道：“我还年轻，没有丈夫，没有孩子。这是我单身以来最快乐的时候。”

艾米·陈（Amy Chen）是一位约会教练，也是《Changle》（此处原文如此）以及《Dale Smart or and Create Love That Lasts》（此处原文如此）等书的作者，她认为人们有强烈的需求。他们只是在应用程序中感到疲惫，其中一些人根本不在约会。对于那些倾向于在关系中迷失自我的客户，陈建议将重心从寻找约会对象转移到首先建立丰富的个人生活上。“真的是，让我们建立一个完整的生活，这样你就不会处于一种匮乏的状态，也不会像是在marving一样去约会，”她说，并补充道，建立独立性会在他们重新开始约会时产生积极的连锁反应。

心理学家索罗门博士（Dr Solomon）补充道：“人们在对待约会软件方面出现了一种集体性的方向修正，这些软件在过去20年里一直是约会的主导，”而解决方案就是投资于现实世界的体验。她说，只要这不是出于情感退缩或逃避，这不一定是件坏事，并补充道：“通过实际行动让自己融入世界——克里斯汀·森廷（Christine Scenting）：‘她莱德劳（Laidlaw）是一名住在伦敦的自由创意总监，参加了一次免费的户外舞蹈课程。住在布鲁克林的用户体验设计师丽莎·木村（Lisa Kimura）已经学会了制作2件并生产3件作品，比如面包丁。除了追求你可能称之为‘hobbyunkey’（爱好狂）的兴趣之外，不约会的时间还包括蛋糕装饰和彩绘玻璃艺术。‘一些具有创意、触感，且不专注于喝酒的事情。’与真实的人类以及实际的艺术项目、创意事业或社区事业接触——这是一种非常健康的适应方式’。而且这些尝试甚至可能引导人们遇到具有共同兴趣的新浪漫对象。

5年前一段关系结束时，在伦敦从事营销工作的伦尼·格雷夫斯（Lenny Graves）习惯了单身。随着时间的推移，当她看到朋友们经历关系的不同阶段时，她想：“我有这么多自由。我有全部自己的钱可以花，我可以去任何我想去的假期。”一旦她重新审视自己的观点，她感到很幸运。64岁的格雷夫斯说，她在她的 sole era. 过得非常充实。在下午5点结束工作后，她不再像以前那样把夜晚花在床上蜷缩着，而是开始点燃蜡烛，看一部电影，或者练习水彩画、玩拼图或制作陶器。她开始期待工作后的活动，并意识到关系并不是目标。

“目标实际上是享受独处，而实现这一目标的最佳方式就是找到一个你绝对热爱且能让你在其中爱上自己的爱好，并朝着那个方向努力，”格雷夫斯（Graves）说道。Polak Kitchen 的店主阿马德·卡尔基（Amade Kalkie）注意到，纽约市一些针对单身人士的蛋糕装饰课程非常受欢迎。“很多人参加这些课程是为了进行‘单人约会’，将其作为约会软件之外的替代活动，”她说。“我认为现在人们参与这类活动的意愿正处于某种爆发期——他们想要一些具有创意、触感，且不以饮酒为中心的活动。”

对于住在英国剑桥并从事市场营销工作的迈克尔·福辛（Michael Fousin）来说，这些活动包括公共冲浪、公开水域游泳和击球。在与长期伴侣分手后，他在一月份尝试了这三项活动。他有两个正处于青春期的孩子，他们变得更加相互依赖，并建立了自己的社交圈。这两个因素共同作用，让 42 岁的福辛进行了大量的自我反省。他说，这一切是从小步尝试开始的。“我只是尝试做一些事情来找回我的激情，提升我的心情，给自己找点事做。”

“我想我过去可能出错的地方在于，我在某种程度上将幸福定义为一段成功的关系，”福辛说。不过，他的定义此后发生了变化。“我越自信，越充实，越享受我的社交网络，”他说，“未来我就能成为一个更好的伴侣，也更有可能找到合适的伴侣。”

压力山大？不堪重负？试试像杰克·约翰逊那样生活。这位歌手对顺其自然之道的颂歌，成为了一个抚慰人心的“希望核心”夏日的背景音乐。作者：JOHN HENRIKHOFF

随着剧院灯光渐亮，杰克·约翰逊（Jack Johnson）沿着曼哈顿一家电影院的过道走下台——他是否在任何其他速度下都显得如此缓慢？——这是一个周一的夜晚，一部关于这位创作歌手极低碳生活的纪录片《KORELMOIST》刚刚在圣海伦斯（St. Helens）的安杰丽卡电影中心（Angelika Film Center）放映完毕。在家庭名号般的知名度之下，他那不事雕琢的海滩男孩形象，就像许多提供梅森罐饮料的白色卷边宽敞场所一样：他的歌曲《Munano Pancakes》（讲述了包括起床之难在内的内容）在Spotify上的播放量已超过 7000 万 次。他是驾驶环保联邦车辆进行周日兜风时的背景音乐；而如今，他的孩子也像他一样，正在应对中年生活的挑战。令人惊讶（或并不惊讶）的是，他们的一些孩子也变成了“杰克·约翰逊”。

面对安杰丽卡的观众，他在被邀请回答问题时露出了微笑。一个年轻人举起手。他说自己的婚礼快到了，好奇杰克和他的妻子金（Kim）是否有过相关经验。此外，他还告诉杰克，他和未婚妻已经选了一首杰克的歌作为他们的第一支舞曲。此外：杰克被邀请参加他们的婚礼。此外，杰克能为他们唱这首歌吗？这种极度的亲近感，一种距离的坍塌，是约翰逊身上一种抚慰人心的新特质。（数百万人热爱Oasis，但很难想象有人敢对利亚姆·加拉格尔 [Liam Gallagher] 尝试这种举动。）

在职业生涯进入二十五年之际，约翰逊散发出一种从未离开家乡的老灵魂般的气息。他不尖锐，也不倾向于挑衅。相反，他对他所处的文化和物理环境构成了一种挑战：如果所有美好的部分永远保持不变会怎样？

电影放映后的第二天早晨，约翰逊步入位于非持有区的甘内鲁恩（Ganneroon）酒店大堂。尽管他有一种近乎低调的存在感，但在他踏上人行道的一瞬间，就有人上前请求签名。他双手自然下垂，肩膀对着人行道的框架，在喝了几杯咖啡后，成功地与等待的人群打成一片。他就是那种人，即使在2000年代拥有连续四张白金专辑的巅峰时期，在被接送时也更喜欢坐在前排。

这种“约翰逊式”的简单，或者说这种简单的表演，最近变得极具吸引力。“杰克·约翰逊之夏”——这部电影、配套的原声带以及一次巡演——正与一种更广泛的简约哲学共同生长。数数你可以如何学会猜测。在过去几个月的社交媒体上，出现了一种备忘录，大意是：如果你试图提高我的皮质醇水平，请记住“我正处于一个杰克·约翰逊之夏”。这句话伴随着各种悠闲的图像：在巡演中醒来，与朋友骑行，在市立高尔夫球场发呆。

Z世代内容创作者本内特·阿里曼（Bennett Ariman）领导骑行探险并发布帖子，他上传了自己的“杰克·约翰逊之夏”视频：烤汉堡，喝库尔斯（Coors）啤酒，这是他试图用“希望核心”（hopecore）来对抗“高潮”更大努力的一部分，他注意到这种趋势正日益流行。

在一段包含约翰逊抚慰能力的杂烩剪辑中，另一位用户使用了一个开玩笑的前提：“让我们杰克化吧！让我们超级自然地来点杰克！伊朗、以色列、罗马、朝鲜、美国——围成一个圈，在海滩上忙碌，在沙滩上翻滚，杰克式奔跑，杰克的DNA脊髓抽吸，50 份快乐。”虽然（大部分）是个玩笑，但这段病毒式传播的视频捕捉到了某种真实的东西。人们感觉被困在商店的征服中，安全焦虑，心理健康下降，对关注的需求在过去一段时间里变得糟糕得多，而最近，又有一种被AI歌曲轰击的感觉。

与此同时，约翰逊正忙于在海浪中穿梭，通过某种方式接触孩子们，探讨可持续发展与征服。如果你试图追踪他的去向，你会发现他一直就在这里。他是否认为我们其他人都很确定？生活真的能成为一种由法院预留的水和大量维生素D组成的图像吗？在放映会上，在回答了几个观众的问题后，约翰逊拿起一把原声吉他，演奏了《拜登之影》（Biden to Shadows），这是一段关于 casts 的音乐样本（随后是《姐妹同行》（Sister Together），他觉得这在新的愿望中曾经是名词）。在他直播和演唱时，他与这对夫妇保持着接触。他们参与其中。他在那个早晨对这次互动进行了总结。“他们没有拿出手机，而是都在倾身倾听，为此我感到非常高兴，”他说。他发现自己收到的许多婚礼邀请函非常“有趣”。除此之外，还有许多父母告诉他，他们用他的音乐来哄孩子睡觉。他决定将最后一点细节视为一种赞美。在纪录片最精彩的场景之一中，约翰逊出现在一把办公椅上。这是一个令人不安的夜晚，就像在必胜客看到查尔斯国王一样。当被问及此事时，他轻描淡写地应对自己被感知到的形象：“有人告诉我那个词，”约翰逊说，于是被迫面对：“Jack-nunning”。他笑了，但明确表示他不希望在课程体系中被取代。“关于‘我是谁’这个想法，那个在海滩上光脚的家伙，”他开始说道，“这在某种程度上是真的，但我很大程度上是一个进入这个国家青少年世界的家伙，我完全理解社交媒体以及我们要享受的世界的利弊，”他说。尽管约翰逊本人并非算法的奴隶——他的信任障碍影响了他的社交账号——但他坚持认为自己也不是大凡·温克尔（Big Van Winkle）。他通过朋友发来的文本信息看到布莱德（Bride）和手段（means）中的趣事。他和金还没有为孩子们决定好，而是给了他们一个准则：产出要多于消费。

“简单与纯粹”的起源

6月下旬，杰克·约翰逊的“杰克·约翰逊之夏”包括在阿斯伯里公园（Asbury Park）度过的一个下午，在约翰斯海滩（Johns Beach）水上度过的一个夜晚，以及在波澜不惊却庄严的萨拉托加表演艺术中心（Saratoga Performing Arts Center）的一圈巡演，那里有穿着牛仔裤、在真实树木间漫游的双胞胎。在约翰逊的大部分行程中，他的妻子和孩子们一直陪伴在侧，金离开了她的教学工作，成为了他的经理之一。在萨拉托加的后台，她强调她的丈夫远非一个傲慢的摇滚明星。“我认为他是我一生中认识的最接地气的人之一，他给了我很多支撑，”她说，“但我不想说他与世界完全脱节。”

她将杰克描述为一个博学的人，一个喜欢谈论政治和时事的人，一个在交谈中经常扮演反方角色的人。约翰逊有时出人意料地冷幽默且自嘲。在电影放映会上，他回忆起在欧胡岛北岸长大，那是伴随着海洋不紧不慢的节奏。 “我把我的歌曲如此缓慢且枯燥的原因归咎于此，”他说。他说当他在夏威夷家中时，可以轻易地连续几周不拿起吉他，但他必须进入水中。如果不是因为在某年龄时的一次冲浪事故导致他留下了一场热爱歌剧和断掉的前牙；他说，他可能会追求职业冲浪生涯。在康复期间，他曾短暂地走在“正轨”生活之路上，他的父亲警告他成为一名精算师。在加州大学圣巴巴拉分校，他学习数学，最后转而学习电影。但这次冲浪事故也增加了他对歌曲创作的兴趣。

然而，在他生命的大部分时间里，音乐仍然只是一个爱好，而约翰逊在相机丢失的那一夜看到了世界。他与电影制作者埃米特·马利（Emmett Malley）建立了密切的关系，两人合作拍摄了两部冲浪纪录片——《比水更浓》（Thicker Than Water）和《九月海潮》（The September Seasture）。（马利也离婚了，拍摄了这部新电影。）当马利成为一名资深的音乐录影带导演时，他邀请约翰逊作为次要娱乐助手，为 Blah (Hi)、Foo Fighters 和 Lamp Baité 等乐队工作。马利回忆道，在拍摄 Lamp Baité 的《Break Briff》录影带时，弗雷德·普奇（Fred Pucci）表达了签约约翰逊的兴趣。“我的意思是，那可能会是完全不同的方向，”马利笑着说。在《KORELMOIST》中，约翰逊的导师之一、创作歌手鲍勃·哈珀（Bob Harper）提醒人们注意一个许多人似乎忽略的关于这位朋友的特点：“要真正地听起来简单且纯净，需要极大的强度。”马利在描述约翰逊时，提到了安迪·桑伯格（Andy Sandberg）在《周六夜现场》（Saturday Night Live）中对他的模仿。在其中一个短剧中，他扮演《黄色节目》（The Yellow Show）的主持人约翰逊，随口说出一些毫无意义的话：“Cargardness! Ultimate Flixbox?” “Organ cookies!” 在另一个短剧中，他为一款看起来像光脚的“I J Casuals”鞋子拍广告。马利说，那种“温和男人”的形象是不完整的。“他对每个人都很友善，而且非常体贴，”马利说，“但我得说，最大的惊喜是他绝对是我认识的人中最具竞争心的一个。”在海洋中，无论是为了抢夺一个浪头，还是为了杂志封面照片而竞争，约翰逊都可能变得激进：“你必须得有点激进，”他说，“而这就在杰克（Jack）身上。”

舞台上的人字拖。在萨拉托加（Saratoga）的后台，约翰逊和他的伙伴们在一个排练室里热身，房间里点缀着皮特·森格尔（Pete Sengle）、蒂娜·特纳（Tina Turner）以及其他曾光临该场地的明星的黑白照片。每年秋天，他的钢琴手兼大学老友都会提供热饮。约翰逊最终登台时穿着他一整天都穿的衣服：一件标准的黄色 T 恤、褪色的牛仔裤和人字拖。他甚至伸出双臂将他们搂在一起。当约翰逊走到他的曲目《骑行、等待、期盼》（Biking, Waiting, Wishing）时，他开始了一段漫长而缓慢的自我介绍：“爱与此有什么关系？被覆盖在 Salubani 的巨龙之下？我们创作了《Radfish》”，他的吉他听起来相当悦耳，像是在录音。一阵凉风吹过后台走廊。突然，每个人都变得兴奋起来。虽然观众跨越了不同世代，从初中生到像约翰逊一样的一代人，大量观众在他们的青少年时期就接触了他的作品。三个看起来像滑板少年的年轻人走过。一些男生穿着亮绿色的衣服围成圈，一些穿着牛仔靴和梦幻裙的女生也围成圈。一个名叫萨姆（Sam）的 50 岁男子和几个朋友在场地中漫步。他说他一生都在听约翰逊的音乐，而且像很多人一样，是通过他为一部名为《好奇给予》（Curious Giving）的学校电影创作的音乐而认识他的。那部电影中的一首歌《颠倒》（Upside Down）成为了约翰逊最著名的歌曲之一。一群学生说，他们的父亲以前在做早餐时会播放约翰逊的音乐。许多其他人是通过 TikTok 发现他的，用户们在约翰逊的歌曲《洗碗》（Washing Dishes）中做家务，一位朋友说，他们随着《颠倒》的曲调翩翩起舞。在夜晚的门前，伴奏手离开了舞台，约翰逊开始接受精准曲目的请求。他演奏了《星座》（Constellations），这首歌源于他父亲对观星的热爱。尽管他的父亲在 2009 年去世，但约翰逊在提及他时，仍然会在过去时和现在时之间切换：

“我父亲是个非常善良的人，但他是个非常戏剧化的人，”约翰逊早些时候说道。在儿子的描述中，杰夫·约翰逊是一个可以成为任何角色的人，一个能够通过星辰指引方向的人。约翰逊本人在情感上更倾向于他的父亲而非母亲。“他不是那种很好说话的人，而且并不太擅长赞美，”约翰逊说。21世纪初的一个夜晚，在约翰逊的知名度开始提升的一场争论中，杰夫问他的儿子，名声是否真的是他想要的。这是一个他从未开始回答的问题。约翰逊仍在追寻着某些东西：“我不假装能给任何人提供任何宏大的答案，”他说。“我想偶尔会思考。如果我能做到，我将触及一种我们所有人都有的感觉。但我没有解决这个问题的宏大方案。”就其部分而言，他在电影中的兴趣集中在那些“感觉稍微像慢动作的时刻”，或者“像一天结束时皮肤上的寒意”。有时，在巡演期间抽空去冲浪时，他不会说出自己的想法，试图在狂喜之余保留那种感觉。这或许是杰克-南宁（Jack-nunning）最纯粹的形式，即在一种意识参照的感觉消失之前尽可能久地掌控它。所以，如果这部电影不是你的菜，你和你的朋友们随时可以听几首杰克·约翰逊的歌。--- ST 5

现代爱情

不再有性，不再调情，不再刷屏或滑动

在经历了一系列浪漫关系之后，她想要生活在自己颅骨的安全性之中。

作者：JESSICA CERVIN，密歇根州

当一只雌性海龟孵化时，它大约只有两英寸长，它生命中的第一个动作就是疯狂地冲向水边。它不回头，也不犹豫。它奔跑。它将在开阔的海洋中度过最初的几十年。它在寻找回到海岸的道路，回到它出生、产卵的地方。在它的身体内部有一张地图，在它触及海浪之前，这种印记就已经被编码在它的肢体之中。科学家将此称为小型归巢本能。

我一直想象着我们也携带这种范围的地图，在我们的潜意识中，我们正朝着某个方向移动，我们确切地知道自己身在何处。在我内心深处的某个地方，就像她体内的 3 张地图一样，告诉我身后的生活比前方的更多。告诉我我最伟大的爱已经到来并离去，门正在关闭，而这就是我能得到的一切。

我相信这一点，并且我想：自由了。我想要的并不是被爱或被选择。我想要在自己的生命中感到安全。与某人共处一室，而不需要记录自己说错了什么，不需要等待被原谅或道歉，并且可能永远不会有人原谅我。我已经准备好尝试多次，我们已经经历过了，在 18 岁之前结过两次婚并离婚两次。我爱过那些同样爱我的人，但这一切都没有让我觉得我是一个更好的成年人。我曾认为下一个人会让我稳定下来。我一直勉强前行，就像一个人完成马拉松那样，腿部抽筋，肺部灼烧，精疲力竭到无法感受到胜利。每段关系都需要一个不同版本的我，而我每次都为此道歉，逐渐失去更多最初的自我。

我想，如果门真的在关闭，我可以接受。我太累了，厌倦了从某种东西逃离，或渴望某种东西。这也许就是为什么我不再寻找更好的选择，而是选择在这个地方停留。

这处海龟争议地位于加利福尼亚州图佩塔帕山脚下 90 英亩的干燥土地（帝国）上。这里有超过 30% 的海龟无法返回森林，由那些以一种看起来像奉献的耐心在海边穿行的饲养员照料。我询问了工作人员，添加了新鲜的牛油果叶，用生菜和花朵以及干燥的仙人掌果（catatoles）布置平原。我花了很多时间在雨中，用干燥的手触摸龟壳，而地面向我传递了一种感觉像信任的东西。

近看，海龟的壳是艺术品。每一块鳞片都刻有重叠的线条。这种耐心在它们的背上重复，但从未完全相同。这就是将你的全部历史承载在外部的样子。在我开始来这里之前，我认为海龟的壳就像一个 4 小时的外科手术后留下的伤口。但壳是海龟能够携带的东西，它是海龟本身。我经常思考这一点，想知道天生拥有这种安全性是什么感觉。

在那段日子里的许多个夜晚，我躺在床上开着灯，听着丈夫在我身边的呼吸声。他尽其所能地爱我，所以叶子的样子和我的衣服，我们之间的距离，那些我无法想象跨越到他那一侧的倾斜。我什么也没说。我从未说过。这就是全部的问题，也是这段婚姻的全部，一个女人关闭了她的紧绷——

JESSICA CERVIN MENSHAEL 是一位居住在加利福尼亚州的作家，著有散文集《如果你爱我，你就会知道》。

乏味，有些事情可以保持不可见。我数不清有多少次在争吵时，在身体依然颤抖的时候，我伸手去牵他的手。我已经如此习惯于放弃自我，以至于在承认自己的伤口之前，我经常先保持距离。

一个人可能被爱着，却依然感觉不安全。缺失的是某种我当时还无法命名的东西，某种巨大的、我却在向错误的人寻求的东西。我给每一个爱我的男人布置了一项不可能完成的任务：让我感到坚实地变得坚实；让我感到受保护地保护我。

有一只乌龟让我产生了感情。我给它起名叫达米安。门挡达米安。加拉帕戈斯象龟可以活到100岁以上。许多个体在内战之前、电话发明之前，以及在我能认知的任何常识版本出现之前就已出生。每天早晨当我打开门时，它总是用整个身体挡住门口，像一块漫不经心的巨石。其他乌龟最终会从它身上爬过去。它在准备好时才会出来。它足够年长，可以按照自己的时间表行动。

我明白了。在我40岁那年，我内心有些东西发生了转变——一种骨子里的、几乎完全相同的、在准备好之前不愿移动的倔强。当我习惯于道歉和迁就时——我给每一个爱我的男人布置了一项不可能完成的任务：让我感到坚实地变得坚实；让我让我感到受保护地保护我。——请绕过我。

大多数人不知道，如果你用指尖轻轻地在乌龟壳的点状纹路上来回抓挠，会发生一些饲养员称之为“长舒”的事情。乌龟会微微伸长，身体向躯干方向抬起。仿佛在说：“是的，谢谢，请多来一点。”它既不逗留也不匆忙，只是缓慢地进入一种极度的舒适感。

结束之后，我才意识到。我只知道如何逗留。我收集那些“长舒”的时刻，就像有些人收集那些不寻常的、快速的、带着某种模糊感的东西一样。长达一小时的电话，那种被重新认识的感觉，我对此极其擅长。但让我崩溃的是漫长的中间地带：洗衣服、购物清单、灯光，以及他们承诺的生活与他们实际能提供的生活之间的距离。

我花了一段时间才明白，我谈论的与其说是爱，不如说是与人们一起谈论爱。相反，我追求的是某种在我抓住它时就会消散的东西。每一次，我都告诉自己，问题出在人身上。我想，只要找对了人，就能维持那种爱的感觉。我就像那个在迷宫中奔跑的女孩，因为跑得太快而忘记了这里有终点线。所有的圆圈、速度和她自己的呼吸声。我过度地沉溺于爱应该是的样子，以至于我变成了！关于我们如何挤出时间。我被困在一段靠惯性维持的关系中，我们之所以留下，是因为离开需要面对一个残酷的事实：我们早在多久之前就该离开了。

我知道逐渐消失是什么感觉。先是失去了方向，然后是偏好，最后是本能地低语：“有些事情非常不对劲。”当我试图寻找那个逃走的自我时，我发现那里只剩下一个女人形状的空洞，那是她曾经在的地方。

我停止了寻找。不再调情，不再滚动屏幕或滑动软件。不再有需要管理或改进的人。我不再逃避独处，开始梳理在没有人关注我时我是谁。第一个月感觉像是在戒断。第三个月感觉像是在恢复。大约在第九个月，我开始听到自己的思考。

在那片静谧之中，我找到了回到那个被掩埋的女人的路。我不再需要去揣摩该成为谁。她更坦率，更坚定，也更勇敢。她有理由停下来，在他人哭泣时也随之哭泣。她曾试图在花园里维持生命，然后是在她自己心中。而且她不再那么在意别人怎么看她。

到我发现那只乌龟的时候，我已经习惯了多年后独处的生活。我每周去一次，学习如何小心地陪伴那些不需要我匆忙的动物。我为围栏准备好信息，为那些知道如何回归的身体寻找好的医生。

有一天下午，当我双手深陷在干草和落叶中时，我感受到了我一直在寻找的东西——脚下坚实的地面，从内部支撑着我。没有人告诉我，重新找回自我是一个不愉快的过程。它大部分时间是在雕琢、抹除，以及对那些你曾经定义为“我”的事物说不。然后有一天，它就那样出现了。你变成了一个不紧不慢且无需为此道歉的人；一个能够坐在沉默中，面对接下来的任何事情都保持淡定的人，一个知道如何穿行于世而不需要任何人站在她与世界之间的人。科学家们将一只乌龟在伸长和缩回之间的那些年称为最好的岁月，因为关于她去了哪里或做了什么几乎没有数据。但我认为她根本不是最好的。由于空间的限制，我们无法拥有数英里的强电流、剧烈的波动以及 exigente 场本身的偏移，而她的地图则大不相同。她不需要任何人指引回家的路。她只需要停下来足够长的时间，去感受那股牵引力。

托尼爱情故事：意外的慰藉

在我父亲突然去世后，我开始翻看冰箱。我发现了装在脆口罐子里、经过家庭抛光的辣椒，装在贴有标签的 Ziploc 袋子里的切碎的花园香草，以及银蓝色的鱼豆，这些食材被某人移位，因为他确信自己稍后会回来。在能够重新开始烹饪之前，我经历了数周无法顺畅呼吸的日子。有人告诉我，在我也能做出最喜欢的伊朗美食之前，其他人已经拿走了 Ziploc 里的鱼。随着冰箱里的这些东西慢慢空掉，没有共同的、不需要的且被卡住的食物被清理出去。现在，每当我烹饪时，我仿佛感觉到父亲那双宽大、稳健的手在煎锅上方引导着我的手。

评论员笔记本 / 瓦妮莎·弗里德曼 (VANESSA FRIEDMAN)

一位候选人的新政治制服：阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义迪的黑色T恤和牛仔裤会成为华盛顿下一个流行趋势吗？

当进步派民主党人、周三被宣布赢得密歇根州参议院初选的阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义迪（Abdul El-Sayedi）走向讲台发表胜利演说时，他的样子并不完全像他平时那样。毕竟，他穿了一套西装。

在竞选过程中，黑色V领T恤和牛仔裤已成为埃尔-赛义迪的标志——这种刻意简化、不拘小节的打扮是为了与建制派拉开距离，使其与对手海莉·史蒂文斯（Haley Stevens）代表议员形成差异化，这无疑是他沟通策略的一部分。因此，即便T-shirt和牛仔裤没有穿在候选人身上，它们依然是讨论的话题。倡导变革是一回事，而在下周中期将你的衣橱与你的言论统一起来，并保持一种低调的姿态则是另一回事。

“材质极简，政治极简”，这是埃尔-赛义迪在与索菲·斯特劳斯（Sophie Strauss）的一次现代选举会面中的形象。斯特劳斯是一位密歇根州自称是“普通人尼龙”的Instagram博主兼展示者。斯特劳斯向他提供了各种尝试的片段，代表了竞选的不同方面——考虑到他那不拘一格的政纲，大量的绿色也代表金钱，这是最好的方式，但他拒绝了，因为他想远离这些，等等——更好。他坚持穿着他惯常的黑色V领T恤。

两人再次出现于埃尔-

阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义迪博士在密歇根州胡安妮塔·安娜·阿尔伯（Juanita Ana Arber）的一次学生竞选活动中（上图），以及周二在底特律的选举观察派对上（右上图）。这种红色与他标志性的简约打扮有所不同。通过他的服装，民主党参议院初选的色彩在他同僚中脱颖而出。

赛义迪尝试了社交媒体上的流行趋势“我口袋里有什么？”，他掏出了钥匙、一部手机、“多得惊人的零钱”、一根抗议棒和一件“额外的黑色T恤——当然是V领的”，以及其他作为他个人和政治武装缩写的一系列物品。事实上，他穿着这件T恤，或者在寒冷天气里穿着一件黑色长袖前襟开襟套衫，如此频繁地穿着——配外套，不配外套，无论在何处，甚至在健身房——被《大西洋月刊》（The Atlantic）称为他的“标志性装扮”。

尽管这种造型看起来很简单，就像每个人衣橱里早晨随手套上的休闲装，但它蕴含着权力。选择黑色并非为了掩盖白色，穿着合身的款式是为了展示他至今为止的特质，埃尔-赛义迪的含义因此变得不再像周末休闲，而更像是在与军事群体打交道。

如果参考参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦（Elizabeth Warren）和代表阿亚娜·普雷斯利（Ayanna Presley）的证据，他用自己的话描述自己更“轻盈”，在小房子里、在他们仍然穿着裁决服的早晨，没有人能成为这样的资助者，“我们承受了1500 万的打击，但依然在反击。”

首先，这种民主的亲近感，T恤和牛仔裤的组合强调了埃尔-赛义迪对政治中金钱的拒绝——并对比了由他作为前罗德艺术学院（Rhodes School of Art）文化总监的特权，他于2000年离职，这使他能够将史蒂文斯形容为“一套带有大型247 / C‘沉没账户’的西装”——因为，嗯，就像华盛顿的许多人一样，她通常想要一套西装。

第一个基本点是outside.com的参与，包括他的健康追踪器（他关注健康）、他与人们的友谊、他的家庭，以及他所处的位置，男人很多表，一次救援时间——磨损的，他的发言人告诉 The

[...OMITTED...]

华盛顿自由救援（Washington Free Rescue），“因为他正试图将我们的政治从企业腐败中拯救出来。”这是让你的贫困为你服务的一种方式。而这一点对于埃尔-赛义迪（El-Sayedi）来说应该是显而易见的，他曾就读于二手学校，随后不仅接受了医疗培训，还学习了执行方式——尤其是对于一个白人来说——在他们进入永恒皮层之前，独立地、迅速地完成。他深知，这样的成本会立即让一个人处于权力地位，或者在具备技能时，让他们突然变得易于接触。他简单地将同样的逻辑应用于政治。在这方面，他是新一批权力玩家的一员，包括纽约市市长埃德马·曼斯福德（Edmar Mansford）和英国首相安迪·沃霍尔茨（Andy Warholtz），他们将个人形象视作其政治身份的一部分，程度不亚于任何政策。当然，埃尔-赛义迪的共和党对手迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）也意识到了这一点。许多擅长刻画民主党人形象的人，以及参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）、众议员亚历山德里娅·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯（Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez）和德克萨斯州指挥官马斯登（Marsden）——都在执行同样的程序，并以此获益。当然，其暗示是，我们应该通过他们的外貌来思考。选民是否认同这一点将在选举中揭晓，但与此同时，埃尔-赛义迪已经开始更深思熟虑地构建正义——不仅是为了胜利的外表，而且是为了适应当前的国会局势并偶尔随之改变——这表明他正面对着我们当地名称和期望的深厚历史（即便他在论证中很大一部分是在拒绝它们），并且在他进入大选之际，他正致力于制定一种新的实质性策略。 --- 6 37 风格问答

探讨如今“雅皮士”的影响力

历史学家兼作家迪伦·戈特利布（Dylan Gottlieb）表示，“我们生活在从他们那里继承的世界中。” 作者：STEVEN KUBITZ

在 20 世纪 70 年代末和 80 年代，一种新群体出现在纽约和其他城市。他们受过良好教育且充满野心，在公司法和金融领域就职，赚取高薪，与此同时，大量中产阶级发生了转移。他们追求自己的价值：新鲜得像日晒番茄和香醋一样。他们购买设计师服装和高端电子产品。他们健身。媒体将他们贴上“雅皮士”（yuppies）的标签——这是“年轻城市专业人士”（young urban professional）的缩写——并将他们描述为浅薄且物质主义。

马萨诸塞州沃尔瑟姆本特利大学的历史学助理教授迪伦·戈特利布（Dylan Gottlieb）花费多年时间研究这一群体，并撰写了近期由哈佛大学出版社出版的《雅皮士：征服纽约的银行家、律师、贾格斯和管家》（Yuppies: The Bankers, Lawyers, Jaggers and Governants Who Conquered New York）。

“我们生活在从他们那里继承的世界中，”他说。“土地担保、微观眼科猫赛、对身体健康和福祉的假设，以及精英阶层将变得更加多样化的想法。我认为，所有这些都是雅皮士留下的遗产。”

正如他的详细研究所示，35 岁的戈特利布对人口普查数据和经济统计数据驾轻就熟。在这次采访中，他摆脱了社会科学的束缚，更自由地讨论这个群体。

“雅皮士渣滓”（yuppie scum）曾是常见的谩骂之词。如今，“雅皮士”这个词在多大程度上被理解或使用？

我在演讲时能感受到一种代际差异。千禧一代和其他人熟悉这个词，但天哪，有些人从未听过这个词。或者他们听过，但不知道它有真实的起源。一旦他们了解了，他们会觉得：“噢，终于有一个有用的词来解释那些正在审视市中心社区的金融损失者了。”

最终极的雅皮士象征是什么？

垫肩。我本想说是宝马（BMW）。但垫肩或许标志着雅皮士文化描绘中最重要的一次转变：女性掌控了办公室的独立办公室。不过，她们是在

我正在和一个很棒的男人约会：他幽默、聪明且勤奋。我可以轻易地想象与他共度的未来。但有一个问题：他的牙齿不齐且有色沉。我很不情愿承认，但这影响了我对他的吸引力。我知道这让我听起来很浅薄。牙科治疗很贵，而且很多事情比外貌更重要。但吸引力在关系中至关重要。我还认为他的牙齿可能会在职业和个人生活方面阻碍他。我的母亲已经发表了几次评论。鼓励他去看牙医以探讨修复牙齿，这算是出于爱，还是没礼貌？

约会：你的问题中没有任何一点让你成为一个坏人。所以停止为此道歉！正如你所指出的，吸引力在浪漫关系中很重要——妥协同样重要。吸引力也具有高度的个体差异。让你心烦的事可能不会困扰我，反之亦然。话虽如此，这里得诚实一点：我不认为是对男朋友职业生涯的担忧在驱动你。你是被他的牙齿搞得没兴趣了，并且可能担心其他人（比如你的母亲）会因此轻视他（进而轻视你）。你没有提到你们约会了多久，或者这种感觉有多新——

与人们提前沟通餐厅账单的问题。这（通常）有助于避免误会。如果有人告诉我她邀请我吃午餐是为了让我开心起来，我也会认为她打算买单。显然，我们都误解了你朋友的意图。如果你愿意，可以澄清这次沟通误会：“对不起，我以为是你请我吃午餐。”但如果你能负担自己的份额（正如你所说你可以），那么最好把钱发给她，并为以后做个细心的记录。人们对慷慨有不同的看法，为此争论几乎没有好处。没有人欠我们一顿午餐——即使我们曾请他们吃过奢华的晚餐。

私密通话成了播客

我人生的大部分时间都患有抑郁症，在很多次电话中，我与哥哥分享了我的挣扎。最近，我听到背景里有笑声，于是问他我是否开了免提。他告诉我，我一直都在免提状态——因为他的家人想看看我会不会说出什么蠢话。这基本上结束了我们的电话交流。当我试图寻求他的道歉时，他说我反应过度。尽管如此，我依然怀念曾经与他拥有的那种亲密感。有什么想法？

当人们不必要地残酷时，真是令人失望。我希望当你要求你哥哥道歉时，你解释了这种感觉如何，但得知他为了取笑而牺牲你的隐私，这确实很糟糕。我担心你所感受到的任何亲密感都没有得到真正的回报。你可能需要考虑与你哥哥建立一种不同类型的关系。但我会把信任留给更具同情心的人。

糖果——更重要的是，如果他不喜欢他的牙齿，你是否会继续与他约会。所以让我问你这个问题：“在你们关系的这个阶段，如果你男朋友要求你减肥或使用韩国来让自己对他更有吸引力，你会感觉如何！”对我来说，这样的要求可能取决于我在关系中感到多么安全。我不会对此感到兴奋！但我或许能容忍一个已经证明他爱我的人提出这样的要求。所以你的问题是一个 Catch-22。是的，你大概可以和你男朋友探讨正畸和牙齿美白的问题，但前提是你已经决定接受他现在的样子。否则，你的要求可能会被视为一种委婉的最后通牒，并可能造成伤害。

没有“我买单”？那是你的问题。

我喜欢请朋友们喝酒和吃饭。但我最近失业了，资金紧张。当朋友们邀请我去餐厅时，我会告诉他们我只点我能负担得起的东西。最近，一位朋友邀请我共进午餐以安慰我。她买单了，我也向她表示了感谢。但随后，她给我发了一张收据的照片，要求我支付我点的那部分。那顿午餐并不贵——比我之前请她吃的那顿便宜得多——而且我也能负担得起这笔还款。但她缺乏慷慨之风让我感到不快。我该怎么办？

听到你失业的消息我也很遗憾。而且我钦佩你那种寻找（并相信）机遇的本能。

我和一位亲密的朋友坐在我的门廊上，这时我注意到她的耳朵后面有一个很大的黑头——那是她可能看不见的地方。如果我在她的位置上，我想知道这件事。我应该告诉她吗？

在考虑这类问题时，我会思考：这次对话会有多尴尬？以及谁是最适合进行这次对话的人？我们每个人都会有这种情况，所以这并不是一个特别敏感的问题。如果这个女人像你所说的是一位亲密的朋友，我认为私下告诉她关于黑头的事没有坏处。去做吧！

如需针对您的尴尬处境寻求帮助，请将问题发送至 SocialQ@mytown.com，或在 Facebook 上联系 Philip Galanes，或通过 @SocialQ@Mytown 联系。

雅皮士 (Yuppies)

银行家、律师、慢跑者以及政府官员，他们曾被比作

。迪兰·戈特利布（Dylan Gottlieb）在一种城市类型被定义为男性化术语数十年后，对其进行了一项研究。女性被期望改变自己以适应每周 80 小时工作制的 demands。如果你想成功，你就需要像《职场女郎》（Working Girl）中的签名织造者那样，戴上显得男性化的垫肩。

你有最喜欢的雅皮士电影吗？

我最喜欢的是《婴儿潮》（Baby Boom），戴安·克拉顿（Diane Kraton）饰演一名黑衣的管理顾问。阿拉娜（Alanna）应该将她的投资放在彩色男友身上。他们是典型的雅皮士。但一个来自失散多年表亲的婴儿被扔到了她的怀里。这揭示了那些追求独立女性所面临的矛盾。哦，你想拥有一切？一旦母亲的身份被强加给你，你之前那种快节奏的生活就变得不可能了。

当我想起荧幕上的雅皮士时，我会想到詹姆斯·桑德（James Sander）。

太完美了，但事实上，他就在《婴儿潮》中。讽刺的是，他的外貌和他扮演的角色都非常雅皮士。但重要的是，他在办公室里隶属于戴安·克拉顿。中世纪的 WASP（盎格鲁-撒克逊白人新教徒）在 era, 首先是被白人族裔男性——犹太人和意大利人——然后是由加入专业领域的女性和有色人种取代。

有哪个文化人物是我们不会立即将其视为雅皮士的？

也许最著名的是巴拉克·奥巴马（Barack Obama）。他代表了这种功绩主义攀升的纯洁性，而这在 20 年前是不可能的。我看到过一张照片，在 1998 年《哈佛法律评论》的一张团体照中，他站在人群中心拿着车厢。这是一个标志性的成就，一个黑人能够凭借性格力量和才华上升到那个位置。他在芝加哥一家大型企业事务所工作时遇到了米歇尔。他们是雅皮士权力夫妇的新面孔。当然，还有他的品味——他总是试图展示自己的良好品味，这是雅皮士阶层的标志。你想证明自己既能接触高端，也能接触低端，并且能轻松地消费。

我们今天想到雅皮士会想到美好的生活。但你的书里提到的是写字楼里令人心力交瘁的号角。

一个人将他的工作与生活联系在一起，在接下来的三年里，每周有三次在工作日与妻子共进晚餐。在 1930 年代和 60 年代的绅士世界里，纽约的律师每年工作约 1,000 小时。到了 60 年代中期，如果你想在像 Shaddon 这样的事务所成为合伙人，这个数字是 2,500。他们某种程度上很痛苦。消费是解决这种不满的一种方式。但这往往是不够的。这就是为什么他们吸这么多可卡因的原因之一。你工作了 12 小时，终于有机会出去。现在是凌晨 1 点，你想去 Lansdale。在维持工作时长之后，你还需要维持消费时长。这与 60 年代那 1,000 小时的状态截然不同。

你写到了雅皮士对食物的痴迷。你能设计一顿雅皮士晚餐吗？

你可能会以鱼子酱和白葡萄酒开始。消费它需要专业知识。它带有模糊的欧洲风情。社会模特们在许多香烟上提供了某种苦苣或菊苣——某种与你能买到的冰山生菜截然不同的苦绿叶菜。在《婴儿潮》中，她的午餐是散养鸡配上 shambles 生长的蔬菜。也许搭配其他不含酱汁的意大利地区犬类（canine）会非常完美。当然，还有 Perron。

如今喝抹茶和跑马拉松的人都是“雅皮士”吗？我们之中有一部分人正处于向下流动状态——我们可以称之为“潜在阶层”——他们拥有与其他受教育群体相同的品味和文化资本，但不再拥有经济资本。他们优先考虑瑜伽课或 100 少数群体，但他们无法负担昂贵的假期，也永远买不起上西区的一套公寓。这些品味已经变得大众化了。你在田纳西州的杂货店就能买到现成的抹茶。这并不意味着我们都是雅皮士。我们中有些人赚得足够多——而有些人则不然。

复古运动裤入侵汉普顿

在东汉普顿的 Blue & Cream 店尝试 Free City 的运动裤。Free City 的家居服正经历一场出人意料的复兴。

作者：RORY SATHAN

如果说汉普顿有某种制服，那大概是像 Isa Garren 所推广的那种低调的蓝白条纹“钝感”——起始 / 放置风格。在长岛历史悠久的海滨村庄里，那些安静且最永恒的造型依然盛行。想想那些基础款套头衫、漂白白牛仔裤，以及比人们想象中更具质感的皮革饰品。很难发现任何过于张扬的东西！回到过去，聚焦于一个沉稳的 Meyer-chim。在最新的东端地位象征中，一条带有醒目标志的 8 / 60 独立滑雪尺寸时代的运动裤脱颖而出。

Free City 运动裤最初在 2000 年代初期到中期风靡一时，现在正迅速取代那些平庸的下装，出现在汉普顿村庄的监管者和居民之中。这些富有辨识度、富人风格的经典运动裤，配上滑雪者和全套装备！以及 Free City 的标志。长款和短款版本在精品店场景中随处可见，我在纽约也看到它们成群出现。在 Bridgehampton 的健身圣地 Forward Space 和 Zombie at the Burn，以及东汉普顿的 Sand Ambrose 和 Tatex Cafe 等地，后项目时期的时尚人士穿着它们，低腰穿着，露出腰部的一截。

第一次流行时，Free City 运动裤是那些在世纪之交受限于纸面规范、略带颓废感的时尚意识人群的标配。当麦当娜、格温妮丝·帕特劳（Gwyneth Rabone）或迈莉·赛勒斯在 2000 年代穿着它们时，她们似乎在说：“我不会为了迎合你们而打扮。”

“这款运动裤走红了，然后再次走红，接着又一次走红，”Nina Gachano 说道。Free City 的嬉皮俱乐部，在 Gachano 看来，她拥有自己在 1995 年于洛杉矶创立的这个品牌 100% 的股份。当时她是西海岸 Indian 之一的买手，同时也位于 Fred Segal，支持像 Steve Van Visten 和 Connie des Garran 这样有潜力的设计师。她似乎对 Free City 的新名声感到压力，“真正的销售回升始于冠状病毒大流行期间，当时她的女性群体爆发了。”

Free City 的复兴并不局限于汉普顿，但就像大多数匹配价格和品牌激活一样，它被加速了。部分流行原因可以归结于来自洛杉矶和纽约市的新兴历史阅读女性的趋势管道，她们在评论和闲逛中再次将其带火。这些产品也在 Amagansett 的精品店销售，在 Mary-Kate 和 Ashley Glover 的基础款货架中显得格外突出。

部分吸引力来自怀旧。“每个人都在说 2000 年的风格回来了——显然，运动裤也回来了，”Social Life Magazine 和 Pats Hamptons 的所有者 Ale Mitchell 说道，她最近穿着一件宽松的 Free City 运动裤前往 Water Mill 的 Shon Sugi Ban House 水疗中心参加一个“williams 早晨”。Mitchell 在 10 年前还是一个自封的 Southside 狂热者时第一次购买了它们。当时的健身巨头销售这款产品，现在依然在卖。

“我们正在找回所有我们热爱的东西！（从 20 年代开始）并意识到它们实际上真的很好，”Blynn 讲师 Meredith Shanway 说道，她在 Bridgehampton 的 Formula a 课程中注意到了大片 Free City 运动裤。Meredith 的心血管训练课在 Bridgehampton 总是售罄。“我开玩笑说 Formula 变成了一个小小的时光胶囊，房间里到处是 200th platelets、twelve bars 和所有的 Free City 运动裤。”

Gachano 在一次前往 Freetown Christmas（哥本哈根的那个社区）的旅行后受到启发，决定创立 Free City。在那里，她获得了一个机会，她将其描述为一种对“纯粹自由”和创造力的冲动。Free City 早期在加州 Middlesex 和好莱坞的超级门店（现已关闭）包含了一些古灵精怪的特色，如新鲜超级红果汁、定制彩绘自行车和巨大的水晶。Gachano 依然保持着这种草根精神。她拒绝大规模合作，而倾向于那些感觉真诚的合作，例如 2021 年与同样来自洛杉矶的品牌 Mad happy 的合作。

双标志系列几乎在瞬间便售罄。她不再开设门店，但 Free City 的直接面向消费者（DTC）和批发业务正蓬勃发展。“你可以想象有多少次人们想要收购 Free City，”Gachano 说道。“他们会说，‘我可以用这款 sweepant 赚到数十亿美元，把它推向全世界’，”她回忆道，并表示她总是拒绝潜在买家，因为他们不理解品牌的特质。“我不能允许太多，我无法说‘好’，”Gachano 说。“正是‘不’让我坚持到了现在。”这种“拒绝”策略对 Free City 来说效果相当不错。“他们可能是目前唯一能让 sweepants 走红的品牌，”Bloomingdale's 的时尚总监 David Thistleman 表示，并称该百货公司是唯一销售该品牌的百货店。“他们是我们的 1 号 sweepants，我们根本无法保证库存。”一些死忠粉丝从未停止穿着他们的初代 sweepants。设计师 Lisa Esner 的拥有者在衣橱中专门为该品牌留出了一个区域，并将其比作 Lisa 的安全毯。--- 8 37

自助专家也面临着自己的麻烦

去年夏天发生了一次令人不安的动荡。在整体心理学家（Holistic Psychologist）的 Instagram 页面上出现了一组关于人员配置的冲突：“Nacim LePera 博士从未在 Instagram、TikTok 或 YouTube 视频中以平实地电影形式（例如她职业生涯中的游戏）在播客和她的朋友之间撰写过。”“她是她深耕的‘自有’品牌的面孔。”在帖子出现后不久，该 Instagram 账号一度消失，其关注者们开始猜测发生了什么。有人询问关于“Weakland”的情况，后者在大约四个月前从整体心理学家社区中消失。

传统的意象要求临床医生保持某种程度的不确定性。但正如精神科医生兼作家 M. Scott Peck 很久以前描述的，这一类“媒体治疗师”构建在自我创造的形象之上。鉴于 LePera 在网上以及在她受欢迎的自助书籍中分享了关于自己生活的经历，她的追随者们自然会对发生了什么变化感到好奇。

今年早些时候，情况变得更加清晰，当时“Weakland 起诉了 和 Galvin，辩称她在整体心理学家中的角色微不足道，且她理应获得比目前多得多的报酬。随后， 和 Galvin 对“Weakland 提起诉讼，指控其挪用公司资金。这些指控甚至附有警方报告。这一切都表明， 的生活并非由一种习得的协同作用，而是由不稳定和犯罪所标记。 陷入了与其自身建议截然相反的境地——即“选择”那些带来“和平与适当，而非混乱与痛苦”的人。

改善许多

在她的著作中，LePera 描述了自己在充满焦虑的家庭环境中长大。如果父母接她迟到了，她会想到最糟糕的情况：他们死了。据她所述，LePera 经常发现自己需要像她那个患有慢性疾病的大姐一样去应对。随后，父母在处理问题时总是处于一种焦虑状态，无论是在晚餐后争吵，还是在接送孩子上学，亦或是面对紧急情况。为了吸引他们的注意力， 在每件事上都刻苦努力，这使她进入了康奈尔大学，并在纽约的新社会研究大学获得了临床心理学博士学位。她被依恋理论所吸引，该理论认为我们在婴儿期和幼儿期与父母形象建立的联系决定了成年后的关系模式。与 Galvin 的相遇是一个转折点。 在她的书《如何成为那个词》（How to Be the Word）中将其描述为“立刻转身”。他们一起回到了 成长的费城，她现在在那里开展类似的执业。她的客户涵盖了贫富两极——既有专业人士，也有贫困者，甚至包括被监禁者。她观察到，无论他们是谁，都感到非常痛苦，渴望改变却又深陷其中。更多的是悲伤，她以同样的方式离开。她考虑的问题——她写道，是在 19 岁生日后不久成为她的“之前”。在与 Galvin 接触后，她经历了绝望的丧失。她开始将自己的身体症状——胃部不适、失眠、恐慌发作——与 19 岁那年娱乐疗法未能解决的根源联系起来。在 Galvin 的帮助下， 最终实现了身体与心灵的统一。这对伴侣每天早晨以冥想开始。他们练习正念并举重。他们结婚，并构思了一条新的职业路径，使她成为了一个“冥想”心理学家。同样， 讨论的不是神经系统。她倾向于使用“神经系统”而非“精神疾病”这一称呼，因为她开始质疑后者的定义。

在 Weakland 对这对夫妇提起诉讼数月后，相关的在线讨论浮出水面。这发生在一个干扰 最新作品《重新抚养内在小孩》（Reparenting the Inner Child）发布的平台上，该书是她的第一本即时畅销书。 的图书巡演包括在伦敦的皇家会议协会（Royal Congregation Society）以及曼哈顿外国文化交流中心 Gold Street T. 亮相。在纽约面对座无虚席的观众时， 接受了 32am 的采访。现在，在在线电子邮件精神科医生看来，她被称作“文化的指路明灯”。41 岁的 将自己塑造为一个虽然仍在自我完善，但已经克服困难的人。在网络上，如果有人伤害她，她能立刻理解对方为何这么做。她说，即使是他们的孩子，那些创伤也让她产生了一种过度共情的倾向。

究竟什么是“重新抚养”（re-parenting）？人们纷纷询问。 回答道，这就是“以一种不同的方式面对我们自己”。“我想，暗示性的、关怀的，我很高兴我们（我们）没有那样做。我没有。”这些观点源自 2010 年代的流行心理学，对她而言并不新鲜，但她吸引了许多新一代的人。

引导冥想

2016年夏天，LePera在洛杉矶主持了一场名为“内在小孩冥想”的活动。其内容揭露了这一点。Weakland，一名在“整体心理学”（Holistic Psychology）Instagram账号中担任医院警察的人，当时就在威尼斯的沙滩上。52岁的她最近刚从科罗拉多州搬到洛杉矶，此前她在那里的一家癌症和精神肿瘤病房工作；尽管她到达的时间太晚，错过了几个月，但Weakland还是遇到了LePera。随后他们开始鼓励我们提供——或者至少这是Weakland所假设的。后来她告诉我，她认为自己一直在与Galvin沟通。LePera和Galvin通过他们的律师，以及LePera的文学代理人和书籍教授，否认了发送给他们的无名请求。当被问及具体指控时，其中一名律师表示没有评论并挂断了电话。

当“整体心理学”开始作为证人成形时，LePera变成了借贷状态。与Galvin一起，她要求门槛包括完整的Reuters Circle，每月123（现在为530）。除了每月与LePera的问答环节，Circle还为成员提供活动、讲座和躯体实践。在网站上线当天，尝试发送电子邮件的人太多，导致外部服务器崩溃。Weakland发送了一条提供帮助的消息，并立即被选中。现在她开始出现在镜头前，领导Circle的一些“内容教学”，在其中她分享了自己作为贫困和成瘾家庭中未婚父母之子的故事。与LePera一起，她共同主持了SelfStudy的讨论版，这是一个持续了两年的播客。

在开始工作后不久，Weakland收到了LePera和Galvin的邀请，邀请她在假期期间与他们共度。圣诞节后前往费城，Weakland前往了Post Western Bank。在只有一张床的两床单间里，这对夫妇没有为她准备。Weakland说道。后来，他们搬到了波科诺（Poconoe）的一家Adhab，Weakland回忆道，在除夕夜，他们甚至喝酒并互相指责。Weakland很快感觉到了这两个女人。她说，和他们在一起，她感到一种“疾病”。

到2022年7月，他们搬到了亚利桑那州斯科茨代尔的一栋精神压力房中，在那里他们买了一张足够他们三人使用的床。LePera在Instagram上宣布了这个新的同居关系。帖子开头写道：“我处于一段三人关系中。”“一个‘爬行者’被委任为角色扮演。”她说，她之前一直不愿分享这一点，但她说她的伴侣们承诺要“对我们是谁保持透明、真实和坦诚”。

在这种安排开始几个月后，Weakland与一名名为Jennifer Kolozar的邻居关系密切。Kolozar在一次采访中表示，从一开始，她就听到后院传来争吵声，其中一些让她的女儿感到害怕。“我曾经问过。你能出现吗？你能知道什么？”Kolozar当时说道。“然后我说她的朋友有很多指控？”Kolozar告诉Weakland，她对伴侣们习惯于“通过社区告诉她她才是问题所在”这一点感到尤为震惊。

尽管如此，Weakland在公司中的投票权在增加。2023年，她与LePera和Galvin签署了一项协议，赋予她在Asian rms（“整体心理学”的母公司）中的标准所有权股份。该Instagram账号的受众增长到900万粉丝，持续传递着动荡。有些帖子是哲学性的，尖锐的，甚至是诗意的：“面对一个仍然在世的父母的死亡，意味着意识到你所需要的人从未存在过。”而另一些则令人困惑：“不知道自己饿了是未解决创伤的核心迹象。”

LePera的受欢迎程度还源于在线视频，她在视频中使用角色扮演来阐述她的见解。在关于母辈继承的短剧中，LePera通常同时扮演母亲和孩子。但有一段时间，扮演被母亲伤害的女儿是Weakland的工作。

在标准场景中，Weakland 蜷缩在地上，头发凌乱，检查着一份塞满的计划表。在其中一段长视频中，她的角色解释说自己感到被爱，结果却被吓到了。“当你进入哈佛大学时，这些都不重要了，”LePera 主张道，演示了最糟糕的父母反应。在其他视频中，Weakland 扮演 LePera 治疗师的病人。“考虑到我们实际关系中强烈的权力失衡，”Weakland 说，“这些内容简直让我感到恶心。”她挣扎着想要离开。“我们对每件事都尝试了 10 次。小字和叔叔告诉我关于我自己的事情，所有的批评、观点、诊断，”Weakland 说。2023年3月，她搬了出去。

诉讼

那年春末，Weakland 飞往宾夕法尼亚州的阿姆斯特朗与朋友小住。她不希望 LePera 和 Galvin 搬到她去的地方，但怀疑自己被跟踪了。为了误导他们，她向之前在斯科茨代尔的一个租房地址发送了一份外卖，并请她的朋友 Kolozar 去取。Weakland 告诉我，当 Kolozar 到达时，她看到 LePera 和 Galvin 坐在洛杉矶一家 Rotten-A-Skokie 展馆外的车里。该平台的核心信息是：我们都有能力治愈自己。Nacim （上图）带着她 2022 年的畅销书出现在展会上。 于 2016 年加入 的 Holistic Psychologist 企业，随后出现在其在线内容的构建中。Kolozar 说，当她稍后返回时，那对夫妇仍在那里。“这真是个好主意，这三个人把自己伪装成自助专家，”Kolozar 说。

尽管存在冲突， 还是在 7 月加入了在阿姆斯特朗的 。她们与 和 住在在一起，后者曾是公司成员。2016 年， 撰写了相关内容，正如她和 在法律文件中承认的那样。这是 首次表现出波动性。根据新泽西州的公共记录，2012 年，一名针对她的家庭暴力区域保护令被执行。几年后， 受到宾夕法尼亚州监管机构的审查，由于她引导执法人员通过某种设置将资金转入创始人自己的银行账户，她面临着 SLOPE 的指控。

和 现在再次在一起。 说，她看到这对夫妇在警惕执法人员。对话变得紧张——紧张到 将 的眼镜从她头上摘了下来，这是她预料之中的。在他们的诉讼中， 和 利用这一事件称其导致了她受创。“我可能认为这是。”作为报复， 在自己的诉讼中主张， 将她推下了楼梯。 和 共同分享了这一点。

那天晚上， 前往一家紧急医疗机构治疗淤青和肿胀的脚踝。一周后，在仍有淤青的情况下，她拜访了一位抗散瞳医生，该医生相信她。在一次采访中，他表示 否认了 将她推下楼梯的说法。他说他开了一些肽类药物以增加该部位的血流量。

这个案件是 的新说辞。 在谈到她多么热爱前伙伴，以及她现在如何看待她们，并看到她们曾经是多么困扰的女孩时，情绪变得激动。Nacim （上图）带着她 2022 年的畅销书出现在洛杉矶的一场展会上。 于 2016 年加入 的 Holistic Psychologist 企业，随后出现在其在线内容的构建中。 的知名度是由在线视频推动的，在这些视频中，她通过扮演角色来阐述她的见解，包括一个母职失效的构建。

当 Kolozar 稍后返回时，她说那对夫妇仍在那里。“这真是个好主意，这三个人把自己伪装成自助专家，”Kolozar 说。尽管存在冲突， 还是在 7 月加入了在阿姆斯特朗的 。她们与 和 住在一起， 将 描述为在访问期间表现得冷漠且快乐。 和 关系变得更加亲近。

那个夏天晚些时候， 和 回到了斯科茨代尔。针对那些并非必然由其撰写的人，Instagram 上出现了一条声称 是“一个她并未发声的品牌的最后一人”的消息。事实上，正如她和 在法律文件中承认的那样，是 撰写了这段文字。

这并非加尔文第一次表现出情绪不稳定。根据新泽西州的公共记录，2012年，一名身处家庭暴力区域的人员对她申请了保护令。几年后，加尔文受到了宾夕法尼亚州监管机构的审查，这些机构针对她的SLOPE进行了调查，原因是她指示执法部门通过某种安排将资金转入她自己的银行账户。 --- IT 9

誓言

BLAKK HOGGE 和 TRYSTAN NICKOVICH

山火改变了场地选择，但未改变日期

作者：SUNNY LAGORCE

布莱克·巴克利·赫格（Blake Barclay Hegge）从事婚礼摄影师职业十年后，2020年疫情袭来。

“我不会说我已经完全‘走出来’了！”他说，因为在拍摄那些看起来深陷爱河的情侣时，赫格仍能感受到那种情绪。但“情况已经到了这样一个地步，那就是有太多因素对我不利。如果这件事对我来说无法实现怎么办？”

几年后，当他与特里斯坦·尼科维奇（Trystan Nickovich）结婚时，在他们位于犹他州阿尔派（Alpine, Utah）现居地的后院，情况再次对他不利。但由于这次的压力并非孤独地面对（而是共同迎接婚礼之日），“我们都深呼吸了一次，”尼科维奇说，“花一分钟回顾一下所发生的一切！”

赫格与尼科维奇于2020年9月在Tinder上匹配。不到两周后，当时住在犹他州普莱森特格林（Pleasant Green, Utah）的赫格，为了第一次约会前往卢克城（Luke City）。当赫格经历45分钟的车程，经过公园并进行少量拍摄时，两人都感到很紧张——在应用程序上的匹配给了赫格真正的希望，认为一段关系可能会跨越数英里而产生意义，而尼科维奇则被赫格的专业名声所吸引。“他在让丑陋的事物变得好看方面很有名气，”尼科维奇说。

在盐湖城市中心公园的正午，在尼科维奇的引导下，他们进行了一次漫步，随后去了Copper Company一家快餐店，并讨论了他们出柜为同性恋的经历。“我10岁，高中毕业，搬出去，然后出柜，”尼科维奇说。

对赫格来说，情况更为复杂。他的家庭是摩门教徒，而对同性的吸引违背了耶稣基督后期圣徒教会的教义。他曾在佛罗里达州坦帕（Tampa, Fla.）担任宗教部长，时间从2015年到2015, 随后离开并在次日返回。“当你回来时，你应该找个妻子并陷入妻子的狂热，”赫格说。“我一直试图让它行得通，因为我不想成为那些不去做你应该做的事情的人之一。”

到2020, 他离开了。他当时比之前早了20年，并与教会分享了10, 然后开始与男性约会，这个决定让他的家人难以接受。“起初，有些事情他们仍在试图理解，”他说。“我需要给他们宽容，因为我自己花了近30年才接受自己。”

现年36, 岁的赫格在犹他州阿尔派长大，有两个哥哥和两个姐姐，父母是道斯（Dawes）和朱恩·赫格（June Hegge）。母亲和假期通常在犹他州比弗（Beaver, Utah）的家庭小屋度过，在那里他培养了对自然摄影的热情。他在南犹他大学（Southern Utah University）社交了两年的时间，但在2016, 年，当一位朋友邀请赫格拍摄其婚礼时，他找到了自己的天职。

18, 岁的尼科维奇在内华达州比克西（Bixie, Nev.）长大，有两个哥哥，父母是比克西（Bixie's）和托马斯·尼科维奇（Thomas Nickovich）。在他18岁时，他的家人因为父亲的工作搬到了爱达荷州的高法尔克（high Falk, Idaho）。“那相当可怕，”他说。“那里不是一个进步、多元的地方。”爱达荷州的高法尔克有大量摩门教人口，这让他熟悉了赫格成长过程中所面对的保守风格。

高中毕业后，尼科维奇搬到比克西的大比格（Big Big, Bixie），从事餐厅和劳工的年度工作。一系列服务计划让他得以窥见医院房屋销售的书籍，到36, 岁时，他在卢克城开了一家咖啡馆。三年后，他将其出售，成为Tulle Elderly的一名经销商，其专业领域是拍摄。

尼科维奇与赫格在2021, 年9月的第一次约会，恰逢他作为独立创业者职业生涯中的一个压力时刻。“那时我没有太多休息时间，”他说。在2020. 年底，在海湾的30, 岁时，“我说，‘听着，这是我一段时间内唯一的休息日，所以我打算喝几杯。’”几乎没有饮酒经验的赫格加入了他的行列。两人离开时都没有清醒。

[版面噪声，已略]

6月23日，这对夫妇告知供应商和宾客，他们仍计划在6月23日结婚，但婚礼将移至Hegge家族位于Alpine的后院。随公告而来的是一种特殊的不确定感。“我们在想，这样做还值得吗？”Hegge说，“人们还能来吗？”6月23日，在Hegge家举行的一场大狗烤肉活动（couple的彩排主题），回答了这两个问题。“我们在婚礼前只给了他们12小时的通知，但几乎每个人都为了我们出席了，”Hegge说。当晚，Hegge家族收到消息，他们的木屋已被纳入现在被称为Cottonwood Inn的范围。Nickovich的兄弟Kyle Nickovich由University Life Church授职，在后院婚礼上主持仪式。当场地读到手写新闻时，一阵能量在山间空气中激荡，穿过他们的头发和衣服。数小时外仍有余火在燃烧，而这片场地被轻微地规划为结婚之地，手写文字宣布他们正式结为夫妻。“那个计划让我们能够参加婚礼，”Hegge说。“这让我哭了。”婚礼报道：Amber Parrish, Vikram Aiyer

政策分歧，但关系和谐

安伯·琳·帕里什（Amber Lynn Parrish）和维克拉姆（Vikram）曾是对手，在关于 Uwe、Instaart 和 Postnators 等公司应将工作人员视为员工而非独立承包商的全国性辩论中，两人激烈地站在相反阵营。她是联合食品与商业工人西部州委员会（United Food and Commercial Workers Western States Council）的执行董事。他则负责 Postnators 的公共政策领导工作，该公司目前由 Uwe 所有。他们的第一次面对面会面是在 Postnators 的办公室。在担任执行董事后不久（在 3:07, 30, 下午 2 点），她带着乐观的态度走进了办公室。帕里什为劳工运动工作了 13 年，而艾耶尔（Aiyer）曾担任前总统巴拉克·奥巴马的经济顾问。

“我觉得有很多人来自，”奥巴马白宫表示，关于加利福尼亚州应如何运作的想法，“帕里什和我花了人生中的 19 年时间在研究那个。”在接下来的几个月里，双方进行了无数次的谈判会议、电视亮相和法庭斗争。2020 年 9 月，他们的领导者取得了重大胜利，加利福尼亚州成为第一个批准一项里程碑式法案的州，该法案要求 Uwe 和 Lyft 等公司将合同工视为员工。艾耶尔和同行科技高管们正准备在 2020 年 11 月的选举中将此问题提交投票。但作为最后的努力，在 2020 年 1 月，艾耶尔邀请对方在旧金山的 People 酒店喝酒，讨论是否仍有达成协议的可能性。

那天晚上，他们以个人身份而非立场代表的身份会面。除了谈生意，他们花了好几个小时讨论各自的处境和童年。两人成为了朋友。艾耶尔说，他们发现尽管在政策上存在分歧，但他们被“许多相同的问题所驱动”。帕里什说：“我觉得他非常有思想，并且非常真诚地关心什么对工人最有利。”在新冠肺炎（Covid-19）疫情期间，他们共同致力于保护一线工人的措施，并经常互相问候。她说：“我们的友谊中有一种甜蜜感。”

但他们仍然处于这场政治斗争的对立面。艾耶尔当时正致力于一项旨在通过 25 号提案（Proposition 25）的活动，该投票措施将使他的公司免受新劳工法的约束。五家公司——DoorDash、Instaart、Uwe、Lyft 和 Postnators——在广告上花费了 2亿美元。加利福尼亚州的选民让 Uwe 和 Postnators 获得了胜利。帕里什在谈到该法律时说：“对我来说，这感觉非常私人。”

随后这对两人来说都是一次考验。在过去的一年里，她对艾耶尔产生了感情，但当时艾耶尔认为自己不适合进入一段浪漫关系。帕里什暂停了他们的友谊。2021 年春季，他们在旧金山的美术宫（Palace of Fine Art）周围散步，决定重新恢复友好关系。他们将其称为“重新开始之行”（Get it read drip walk）。在接下来的几个月里，艾耶尔意识到他一直压抑着对她的感情，部分原因是他们的分歧。他说：“因为她代表了一个比我左翼得多的立场。”他对她充满爱意，并尊重她的信念。

那个夏天早些时候，艾耶尔表达了心意，但帕里什持谨慎态度。整个夏天，他策划了几次“朋友约会”，在约会中他会递给她十张纸条，每张纸条包含一个他精心准备的活动选项，由她从中挑选一个。在 7 月 16 日一个格外温暖且慵懒的朋友约会中，他们在海滩上相拥接吻。帕里什说：“这段友谊达成了一致，并且变成了一些不同的东西。”到年底，他们进入了认真的恋爱关系。2024 年 11 月，在……的帮助下

在她的前一段婚姻中育有两个孩子，艾耶（Aiyer）在 Verba Buena Gardens 准备了婚礼——他们曾在那里的一个高级病房中分坐在谈判桌的两侧。艾耶，45岁，目前是 Bonfoss-Clarion Technologies 的全球公共政策负责人。他毕业于加州大学伯克利分校，拥有政治学学士学位。帕里什（Parrish），45岁，是谷歌（Google）的一名对外事务经理，毕业于加州州立大学萨克拉门托分校，主修传播学、政治学和政府学。7月23日，他们在旧金山市政厅结婚，由此前获得美国婚姻 Skinstons 授职的密友雷蒙德·圣（Raymond Saint）主持。次日，他们在加利福尼亚州利弗莫尔的弗吉尼亚大学举行了一场传统的 Total Relations 婚礼仪式，以纪念他家族的南印度传统。再接下来的日子里，一场融合风格的招待会在旧金山 One Saturana 的 Connor-many 举行，约有 200 位宾客出席。尽管他们都已离开了之前的岗位，但他们在政策上仍有分歧。“与前任伙伴争论那些非常令人厌烦的事情，”帕里什说道。但她补充道，“我认为我们已经学会以更具建设性的方式处理分歧，从而推动彼此走向新的、不同的高度。”艾耶表示：“在这样一个如此多故事都在关于选择立场的时刻，这则故事关于两个人通过足够长时间的倾听来理解彼此，并共同建立起生活。” —— 故事评论 --- 10 57

誓言 # 五款让婚礼宾客惊艳的创意美食

经验丰富的选择可以成为娱乐的一部分。 作者：MIRA LUCHA

曾经有一段时间，令人惊叹的婚礼美食时刻仅限于巧克力礼品袋和。情况已经发生了变化。随着婚礼变得更加个性化和具有娱乐性，食物也随之改变。像现场烹饪、燕麦和等互动或开放式美食选项，正让婚礼变得更加令人难忘且具有参与感。Edith Zilfo Fiori 的 Lush Report 发现，在受访的 1.5万,000 对订婚夫妇中，约有一半认为对他们的招待会具有吸引力，这一数字在过去两年中翻了一番。根据该报告，计划在今年结婚的人员在做出食物决定时，也会考虑该选项是否有可能在社交媒体上走红。以下是目前流行的五款创意美食选项。

旋转餐车 (Carine Bells)

宾客们不再聚集在半时间的食物站周围，而是面对着一个，吸引着装满各种肉类的可穿戴铃铛。Amy Kargauwa 表示，她创办了名为 Carine on Top 的餐饮公司，该公司使用可穿戴铃铛，因为她“想要消除房间的侧边感。我深信那种侧边感会成为我们之间的一种”。 on Top 成立于 2023 年 1万 月，在加利福尼亚州和纽约市开展业务，在鸡尾酒时间或作为深夜小吃提供 。它提供的 种类繁多，从传统的到无数的城市美食、薯片、披萨，甚至包括鸡块。Kargauwa 表示，宾客们经常停下来拍照、提问并第一次尝试 。她说，需求增长迅速，该公司目前已在全国范围内承接了 100 场以上的活动，服务了 10,000 名宾客。Kargauwa 认为，这种吸引力反映了活动行业的一种人性化转变，即新人及其主人越来越优先考虑显著的、时刻，而非传统的餐饮服务。“我们成为了派对的一部分，”她说，“我们与您的宾客在一起，我认为这就是让活动变得且让宾客享受其中的原因。”

价格：$1,500 起，具体食物定价基于宾客人数、服务时长、人员需求以及 的类型和数量。

移动甜点

Shareline 提供由 nervous dopance sweets 承载的传统甜点桌服务。Mike 创立的公司已成为协助婚礼招待会和甜点服务的公司之一。Mike Mendana 是该公司的创始人兼首席执行董事，他在游历企业食品行业后，于 2024, 100万 月将其作为一项家庭副业启动，他表示其灵感来自 roaming her dog swollen or hadyards。他的团队不再提供现成的糕点，而是为宾客准备 can-ashle 健康威胁

Mike Mendana，Coonella by Mike 的创始人，在婚礼招待会名单中。他将其称为“roaming can-ash 体验”，并增加了一次游历。这不仅能保持外壳酥脆，还将甜点变成了娱乐活动。“你是在为其中的互动部分而付费，”Mendana 说。“你是在夺回一个让你感到疯狂的时刻。”在 2024 年 3 月一段关于该体验的视频发布在 Instagram 上后，需求激增，该公司现在在全国范围内开展业务，Mendana 在社交媒体上被誉为现场涂层体验的“insane”。总部位于凤凰城的 Coonella by Mike 每年在工作日服务约 200 场，每年最高服务 400 场。除了 councils，该公司还扩展到经营电影院、期刊和可定制的甜点电子竞技赛事。价格：每位宾客约 $10 到 $12 起，服务时间两小时。

Cosine Concierge Kuscatia Tzom 是西北阿肯色州 KDFI Boston 和 Boston 的所有者，她在社交媒体上因 6 月最高 $1,000,000. 的项目而受到关注。一种吸引人的墙壁体验也被称为“为香槟而敲铃”。Tzom 为一场婚礼设计了一面墙，上面有三个项目，每个项目对应不同的 cookin' 项目。宾客为他们的礼服敲铃，促使隐藏在墙后的工作人员递上一个新鲜出炉的曲奇。这种互动式曲奇被称为 Cookie Coke bar，比传统婚礼蛋糕每周多出两倍的休息时间。Tzom 与阿肯色州烘焙师 Eats by Annie 合作开发了几套 cookin' 系统：第一个创造了墙壁的外观和功能，而新郎和一位朋友则根据她的设计搭建了结构。她创造了一个戏剧性的时刻，鼓励宾客与展示区互动。该概念迅速获得关注，尤其是当宾客敲铃的视频被发布后，铃声的对比音成为了招待会氛围的一部分。价格：$2,000, 起，包括专业搭建的结构和工作人员。

可食用气球

Grant Arhart 是一位厨师，曾任芝加哥 Alamo Group 的成员，他创造了一种现场食品活动。实际上，这是一个可食用气球。这款气球于 2012. 在 Arhart 的 Alamo 餐厅推出。这款漂浮的甜点花费了大约六个月的时间才达到完美，在此之前， 和厨师 Mike fought 尝试了宽面团、糖等，然后讨论了八种组合。“这是一种由三种糖和一种淀粉组成的非常特定的混合物，像真的 manic tally，” 说道，这个气球使用了气球并连接到一条脱水水果、咖啡、茶和商业胡萝卜、棉花片的薄条上。（最初的青苹果版本旋转了 40° 到 45°。）气球也被用于 balance，且 balance 也被用于传统婚礼蛋糕。最初的以及后来的，可以定制多种口味。对于 来说，这种甜点的吸引力与社交媒体几乎无关，而与它创造的情绪完全相关。“它让人发笑，让你微笑，”他说。“它让人觉得回到了几岁的时候。”“气球是什么？是庆祝，”他补充道。“所以它在 thalaya, amitronutens, 婚礼上。”价格：$1,000. 起。食品定价取决于宾客人数、地点、人员配置和定制要求。

Pasta Trobeys Council 由婚礼策划师 Emily Coyne 打造，“pasta wheat on whack”最初是为今年在墨西哥举行的 C. J. Tzomala（一名 NFL 女球员）与 Tzomala Quinlan（一名数字媒体专业人士）的婚礼而设计的。这款名为“ Alta Buena Tableable Trobey”的定制移动面食装置，灵感来自 Quinlan，自从两人订婚之夜起，Quinlan 就一直致力于提供传统的 alta （一种在帕玛森芝士轮中完成的料理）。Coyne 没有将芝士轮放置在招待会的某个角落，而是设计了一辆狭长的推车，让 clash 能够变换。这款面食 tableable 为每位宾客提供服务，将晚餐变成了现场娱乐。要实现这一体验，需要大量的规划、测试以及与租赁推车设计师 Yaya Rontzloafoi 的协作，在 setting treats 中，已经有了。三台定制单元为大约 100 位宾客服务，在宾客晚餐期间提供 20 份业务。Coyne 表示：“最令人兴奋的是能亲眼看到厨师在你们面前现场制作！”价格：大约 $6,000 到 $1万,000，此外该单元可为 200 位宾客提供服务，假设面食作为独立的一道菜供应。# WEDDINGS Senti Sojwal, Ben Fuller-Gougins

一位议员的牵线搭桥

Senti Sojwal 和 Ben Patrick Fuller-Gougins 在 2022. 10 月初次见面时，两人对这次约会都持乐观态度。几周前，他们在 Tinder 上匹配成功，并通过一家公司发现他们有一个共同的朋友——纽约市议会议员 Madana Hauzi。两人分别试探性地向她询问对方的情况，而代表布鲁克林 2016 议会选区的 Hauzi 鼓励他们见面。“她说我们非常合适，并影响了他们谁会是一个合适的人。他们可能想要生活，已经单身一段时间了，并说他正处于‘约会的阶段’。”Sojwal 说她“绝对在寻找真爱，并希望它能出现”。两人在布鲁克林 Prospect Heights 社区一家现已关闭的名为 Odo to Babet 的酒吧见面。Fuller-Gougins 说，当他看到 Sojwal 在外面等他时，他“愣在了原地”。“我简直不敢相信她竟然如此迷人，有着最深邃的眼睛。”“Ben 看起来非常率真且体贴，”她说。在几轮精神鸡尾酒之后，他们进行了 Sojwal 所描述的持续数小时的关于家庭和工作的“坦诚对话”。他们很快意识到，两人在社会正义和服务社区方面有着共同的承诺。-，45 岁，当时住在布鲁克林 Remington 社区的一套公寓里，担任 Carroll Gardens 协会的副主任，这是一个支持慈善会议以及管理和金融服务权利的布鲁克林组织。他现在是该组织的执行主任。她来自马萨诸塞州 Sherborn，拥有波士顿学院的历史学学士学位和纽约大学（N.Y.U.）的城市规划硕士学位。Sojwal，23 岁，当时住在布鲁克林 Crown Heights，是大纽约地区计划生育协会（Planned Parenthood of Greater New York）的社区街道主任。她在华盛顿上西区长大，拥有马萨诸塞州阿默斯特汉普郡学院的公共研究与政治学学士学位。她还拥有纽约大学（N.Y.U.）的公共卫生硕士学位。“我们拥有共同的世界观，这源于我们在劳工运动和生殖正义运动中的工作经历，”Sojwal 说。第一次她加入一个 30-year “Sons” 时，我有一个哥哥，”- 说，“我告诉所有人，我的下一个项目将是组织一个小弟弟的价值。”他们在午夜后离开了酒吧，- 陪 Sojwal 回家。就在他们过马路之前，她转向他。“我知道他想感觉很好，”她说。在他们进一步发展之前，接下来的一个星期他们一直在试探并一起喝咖啡。这一次，他们在 Crown Heights 的一家意大利餐厅共进晚餐。他们陷入了一种每周见面几天的常规模式。在工作日，- 喜欢在一段时间后去 Sojwal 的公寓，那时他们想一起做。在周末，他们在展望公园（Prospect Park）度过时光。在那个 12 月，在展望公园 Lakeside 的 LeDrak 中心的一次约会中，她确信自己找到了终身伴侣。当他们在风险中穿行时，Sojwal 的时间迫近，她开始失去平衡。- 冲到她身边，面对并拍她的背。“我觉得，这个人真的会照顾我，”她说。2024, 1 月，在一次前往皇后区 Rockaway Beach 的周末度假期间，Sojwal 和 - 表达了她想要定义他们关系的意愿。“我们一直在一起，但还没有就这段关系将走向何方进行过对话，”她说。- 说他之前犹豫是否要展露脆弱的一面。“Senti 不断地邀请我展现更多真实的自我，直到那一刻，我意识到在她身边我是安全的，”- 说。2024, 9 月，他们搬进了 - 位于 Remington 建筑内的另一套公寓，目前仍住在那里。

他们于2025年7月在皇后区阿斯托里亚的Soccaton雕塑公园订婚。Fuller-Gougins告诉Sojwal他们是要和朋友们一起参加晚餐派对，而不是去剧院。然后他突然流下眼泪说：“他们不来了。”他单膝跪地，但由于他一直在哭，Sojwal问他：“所以你还不打算向我求婚吗？”在夕阳的余晖中，他用一枚香槟钻石戒指求婚。

“他们于7月20日在纽约Cargerton的Black Water Party活动场地，在100位宾客的见证下结婚。这对夫妇的好友尼古拉斯·麦肯纳（Nicholas McKenna）专门为此场合由通用生命教会（Universal Life Church）授职，担任主婚人。”Sojwal在他们最喜欢的宝莱坞歌曲《Rich Rich Hate Hat》（由Sumner Anjanti作词，译为“Sister thing in Happening”）的伴奏下走过公园。仪式致敬了她的意大利血统，这对夫妇交换了两串花环，音乐则象征着标志与尊重。为了致敬Fuller-Gougins的爱尔兰背景，他的父亲布拉德利·道格拉斯（Bradley Douglas）也朗诵了一段爱尔兰婚礼祝福语。

市议员Hauzi对此感到很高兴。“我太开心他们能一拍即合了，”她通过短信写道，“更开心的是，这演变成了如此美好的爱情，”Vans证明道。Maia Comeau, Rich Olayu

在这个“绿 acres”农场，Eva Cabor 喜欢做家务

在 2023 年 7 月通过一项名为 Three Day Rich Shet Amadeep 的服务与 Rich Hurnan, Olayu 建立联系后，Maia Brittoch Comeau 从她位于宾夕法尼亚州卡莱尔（Carlisle, Pa.）的农场驱车两小时，前往 Olayu 居住的费城进行首次约会。这次行程是值得的。“她走过来，他非常英俊，和照片上一模一样，”她说。“他穿着三百-vees，尤其是头发很灰。”，他 left part，说当他看到 Comeau 时，他被“抛弃了”。对话流畅地进行，约会从早上 8 点的饮品，到 Wake 的晚餐，再到 Rauterad Room 的更多饮品，全部围绕在 Birmingham Square 附近。

在第一次约会后， 和 进行了两次互相拜访。“他更倾向于与街道上的人们约会，并且有更多的 choomess 和 young each other，而我则不然，” 说。“我天生就更倾向于不感兴趣。起初，两小时的车程对我来说并不完美。”随着时间的推移，这种冲动变得更长了。

“我喜欢在农场工作，砍木头，” 说。“对我来说，跳入那个角色，在这里打破我的 1st heart point 和 trout 是很容易的！”他说：“这就像《绿 acres》（Green Acres），只不过我是 Eva Cabor 的角色。”

起初，两人都没有预料到会结婚。 之前的婚姻在 2021 年以离婚告终，他并不渴望再次结婚。，他 left part，说她“从未表现得像是在寻找爱情或婚姻。我没有在积极约会，而且我热爱它们至少！”但随后，她说她梦想着穿着一件白裙子举行婚礼。

一旦在关系中感到安全， 对婚姻的看法发生了转变。“我达到了一个能够完全爱 Maia 并且让她爱我而无需担心受伤的程度，”他说。“那么，结婚的概念就成了一个无需思考的决定。”

在 2022 年 7 月从卡莱尔西海岸的一次访问期间，他们探讨了正式承诺共度余生的话题。“我们有那么一些时刻，只有我们两个人，站在海滩上，望着大海，” 说。“我们是地球上的两天，但我们在一起。”

印度婚礼上最抢手的门票？派对后场。一些新人正将地下俱乐部文化引入他们的庆典。

作者：PRAASIN RANWALA

印度朱朱祖（Jujutsu）的一家酒店宴会厅，现在是早上 7 点。新郎新娘在舞池中央的 DJ 台后跳舞，舞池已被改造为一个由 LED 灯组成的笼子。在他们周围，最后 10万 位朋友仍在随之律动。这场在婚礼招待会后凌晨 1 点开始的派对，完全没有结束的迹象。

“我们的很多朋友原本打算只待一两个小时，结果陪我们一直嗨到早上 9 点，”28 岁的营销专业人士卡纳克·卡帕迪亚（Kanak Kapadia）说道。今年 3 月，她在萨贾达姆市（Sajardham city）的一场为期三天的庆典中，嫁给了 16 岁的企业家西丹特·萨德瓦尼（Siddhant Sadhvani）。

这对居住在迪拜的新人将酒店宴会厅变成了一个私密的地下舞曲体验空间，采用了夜店风格的布置。其灵感来自全球极受欢迎的 Boiler Room 俱乐部系列，该系列以邀请国际知名 DJ 在人群中心表演而著称。此次活动由印度最抢手的婚礼 DJ 之一、艺名为 TBOM 的 Krishi Muktanathan 带来了长达 9 小时的 DJ 演出，他表演时被宾客们四面包围。

印度婚礼的派对后场曾是相对简单的活动，宾客们只需将正装换成便装和酒店拖鞋。而现在，派对后场正成为一个独立的头条活动，其中以精心设计的、受舞曲俱乐部启发的庆典为热门主题。

孟买 Three Entertainment 的创始人萨尼娅·夏尔马（Saaniya Sharma）表示，一些新人正日益倾向于“全力以赴，策划节日级别的个人演唱会”，且这些活动通常旨在社交媒体上走红。“每个人都想做一些不同的尝试，将他们旅行中的体验带到婚礼上，”夏尔马说。她的公司策划过的活动范围广泛，从 Boiler Room 风格的派对后场，到 Burning Man 以及杂货店主题活动。

艺名为 B2 A3 的阿尔君·沙（Arjun Shah）是印度婚礼圈最受欢迎的艺术家之一。自去年 3 月以来，他已经参与了 100 多场此类 Boiler Room 主题的派对后场——从孟买的婚礼到开罗的婚礼（背景是吉萨金字塔）。

“有时，这些 Boiler Room 活动是经过精心策划的。但即使没有，一旦音乐转向旋律科技舞曲（melodic techno）或非洲房产舞曲（Afro house），人群自然会聚集在 DJ 台周围，氛围立刻就对了，”沙说道，并补充说他在过去一年中看到这一趋势有所增加。

居住在香港的儿童治疗师安南迪卡·萨纳尼（Anandika Sahnani，11 岁）和企业家莫尼什·萨纳尼（Monish Sahnani，13 岁）于 2016 年 4 月在孟买结婚。在他们为期三天的庆典中，其中一部分成为了亮点：一场被他们称为“周日 Boiler”的派对后场活动，灵感来自他们曾在迈阿密、纽约和孟买共同参加的 Boiler Room 派对。

“很难想出新的婚礼概念——每个人都尝试过所有事情了，”安南迪卡说。“但我们以前没见过这个。”

在欢迎晚餐上，258 位宾客收到了参加这场深夜活动的“门票”。午夜过后，他们进入了孟买 Top Metal Palace 的一个宴会厅，那里被红色灯光改造，DJ 台位于舞池中央。

“印度婚礼在很大程度上是关于家庭和父母的。但我们想为自己和朋友做这件事，”安南迪卡说。这种布置的私密感吸引了这对新人。“我们喜欢它能让大家聚集在一起的方式——这真正关乎于沉浸在音乐中，以及 DJ 与你一同起舞。”

新人在预算上也没有吝啬。婚礼策划师估计，一个基础的 Boiler Room 风格布置起价约为 8.5万,000。如果加上高端酒精饮料、复杂的制作和国际 DJ，费用可能会攀升至 100,000 到 15万,000 甚至更多。

为了营造真实的体验，Sahnani及其丈夫寻求了Boiler Room孟买团队的帮助来制作这场派对，其中DJ台安装了Corvo，并邀请了多位DJ，包括当时的OG和TBOM，以及印度说唱歌手Shah Bate（同时也是新郎的表亲）带来的迷人表演。最终的空气在早上6点达到顶峰。Anandree Malaviya（11岁，律师）和Umar Kothi（18岁，蒸馏师）在德里和印多尔两地生活，去年3月在果阿的目的地婚礼上举办了一场受Boiler Room启发的婚后派对。他们花了数月时间寻找能够适应这种形式的DJ。“有些DJ坚决反对参加婚礼，因为他们不希望客户干涉他们的职责，”Malaviya说道。“我们希望音乐能吸引每一个人。”（图注：左侧为Anandika Sahnani，右侧为Monish Sahnani在他们的续后派对上。上方从左起：舞池灯光；新郎在乌代浦参加Jujutsu Tyle和Abha Sadhvani Tyle博士的庆祝活动；右侧，Kanak Kapadia在中间，Siddhant Sadhvani在左侧，在他们于Arjun International举办的续后派对期间在DJ台后跳舞，配备国际DJ、精致的制作并狂欢至日出。）这对夫妇策划了一份播放列表，其中混合了电子舞曲、商业热门歌曲和宝莱坞音乐。Shah表示，这就是将Boiler Room形式引入印度婚礼的挑战所在。与俱乐部人群不同，婚礼宾客在年龄和口味上通常相当多样。“你必须能够读懂现场氛围并及时调整，”他说。这对来自休斯顿的夫妇——儿科医生Abha Sadhvani Tyle博士（18岁）和技术企业家兼波特兰开拓者队共同所有者Jujutsu Tyle（13岁），在去年跨年期间于印度乌代浦的Paterson Udaipur Palace举行的为期三天的婚礼庆祝活动中，也确保了他们的播放列表能够跨越代际。三场Boiler Room主题续后派对的DJ们在为年长亲属准备的怀旧金曲与Drake和Bahama等艺术家的热门曲目之间取得了平衡。“有一次，我看到我的姑姑在DJ台上跳舞，”Abha说。“每个人都真正投入其中了。”

想反击大科技公司？请看这里。我最近写到，全国各地正在发生的数据中心反抗运动，正触及我们最重大政治问题的核心。人工智能不仅仅是一款市场产品或一项科学成就。它是一种政治理论。而且它正在吞噬我们的民主！这给未来的民主运作带来了挑战。民主党不能仅仅通过“赢得助产士”就回到唐纳德·特朗普及其科技大佬军队颠覆我们的生活方式之前的状态。我们可以讨论扩大最高法院规模、终止阻挠议事、在宪法中确立女性自主权以及将金钱剔除出选举。但如果我们不改变关于我所称之为“数据政治”的法律和规范，这些都将毫无意义。围绕人工智能的所有推测和希望都掩盖了一个事实：这项技术不仅仅是大语言模型、智能体或数据中心。它是一个上层建筑的骨干，在技术创新的伪装下，将退步政治与不受约束的经济权力融合在一起。简单来说，资金过多，其中一部分难以追踪，这赋予了一小群工人。

一份旨在帮助理解人工智能这一政治理论的阅读清单。ed 赋予了极少数人过多掌控大众的权力。这就是数据政治。数据政治是右翼在特朗普之后对“接下来会发生什么”给出的答案——一种在那个离去之人的特朗普主义之外，国家对个人利益的追求。左翼的答案应该是什么？为了弄清楚这一点，我建议进行一些晚期阅读。我希望你能加入我。我受到了文学学者马特·塞博尔德（Matt Seybold）的一项关键建议的启发。这份清单并非定论。这些书籍中的每一本都旨在解释技术、政治、金钱和权力是如何让我们的世界崩溃的。其中一些书是我第一次阅读，另一些则是第三次或第四次，在将它们结合阅读时，我正在寻找关于数据政治的共同主题、模式和新问题。目标不是为巨大的政治挑战寻找答案，而是就我们的政治义务提出更好的问题。首先，我推荐这些关于塑造全球数据政治的技术公司首席执行官的书籍。这些关于萨姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman）、黄仁勋（Jenson Hwang）和埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）的书籍提供了一个窗口，让我们看到全球人工智能军备竞赛不仅仅关乎微芯片和数据中心，它关乎重新设计文化和资本。

• ■ 教皇利奥十四世关于人工智能、引发广泛讨论的通谕。

在接下来的几个月里，我将与清单中的一些作者进行交流，询问他们关于最顶层且最令他们担忧、且应该令我们其余的人感到不安的问题。我们将把这称为“关于阅读”系列。我希望你能加入我一起阅读这些书籍，并希望这仅仅是一场漫长且十分必要的对话的开始。

18 # 专栏与评论 ROSS DOUTNAT

谁是我的敌人？我不再确信。

27年前，当我加入这家报社担任专栏作家时，巴拉克·奥巴马仍处于首任任期的人气巅峰。无论是在政治圈还是文化圈，人们都充满信心，认为他所代表的社会自由主义和技术官僚雄心已经扫清了美国政治中的保守主义时代。专栏作家的工作涵盖诸多方面，但拥有一个主要的对手——一个你认为需要被挑战和批判的特定世界观——是非常有用的。

对我而言，多年来，那个世界观就是奥巴马时代早期的“精英共识”——一种主要偏左的视角，这种视角同样属于硅谷巨头、迈克尔·布隆伯格风格的中间派政治家，以及共和党中那些温和的技术官僚。这是一种在很大程度上宽容且自觉具有世界主义色彩的视角，在外交政策上主张多边主义和谨慎，并乐观地认为仅仅依靠世俗的一面就能引导全球化世界走向繁荣与和谐。

在某种程度上，我基于非直觉的理由反对这种世界观。在它大多是世俗的时候，我是有宗教信仰的。在它支持选择权的时候，我是支持生命权的。对于从许多世纪的立法机构到中东等各种问题的处理方式，我持有怀疑态度。在某种程度上，我也基于政治理由反对它。许多共和党人坚信，G-15的账目正趋向于这种共识，实际上变成了第二个文化自由主义政党，只是带有自由市场的氛围，而我确信这是错误的。最后，我批判这种精英共识，是因为它迫切需要能够的批评者，而由于缺乏批评，它经常陷入过度扩张的诱惑。即使它始于一个合理的起点，它也不知道何时该停止，而且关于人性，它似乎有太多不了解的地方。

回顾过去十年西方政治的进程，这种精英共识在某些方面印证了我之前的预期（即预见到出口驱动型政策的负面影响）。它未能应对技术变革带来的阴暗影响。它将社会自由主义推向了极端，以至于抛弃了弱势群体，并对其恶习产生了灾难性的后果；而且由于它没预料到非西方世界会对它的计划产生如此强烈的反弹，导致政策难以改变。至此，这种共识失败了。

我发现自己失去了判断当今哪个世界观最需要被批判或反对，以及谁是好人、谁是坏人的感觉。每一个主要阵营似乎都潜在地危险，以某种独特的方式被诱导向阴暗面，或者在某种程度上过于自满或相互矛盾，以至于让我不确定真正的天使之职究竟在何处。

首先看那些因为精英共识的失败而崛起的人群。对于许多与我一样批判奥巴马时代建制派的保守主义者来说，民粹主义的反叛曾是他们希望的载体。但在唐纳德·特朗普的第二个任期内，民粹主义展现出了其批评者所指出的绝大多数缺陷。它腐败、霸道且具有破坏性。它奖赏种族主义和粗鲁。而且它进入了一个比其建制派前任准备得更不足的中东时代。

对于许多自由派读者来说，这种极端的变革，这种单一的无礼，似乎是有意义的。但随着特朗普主义的演进与失败，它并没有巩固其最惊恐的反对者所预期的那种威权权力。目前，特朗普（1926）拥有极高的人气，以及立法能力和政策遗产，而民主党参议院无法轻易将其推翻。总统本人可能仍然是一个危险的人物，可能还有更阴暗的力量在幕后等待——但我认为，这并不足以证明将“反民粹主义”作为衡量一切的标准是正确的。

尤其是当你考虑到其他替代方案时。如果真是这样，在中间偏左的建制派残余势力中，面对特朗普主义，其中一些缺陷看起来就不那么严重了——尽管这些缺陷在某种程度上被抵消了，但它们依然是对导致支持者崛起以及在政治环境变化中陷入迷茫的错误负有责任。

现在是我提出许多疑问的好时机。2018年后，我们试图让这个建制派回归正轨，但我们刚刚制造的漏洞——一个简短且无止境的民主漏洞，用互联网团体取代专家，这意味着我们成了社会自由主义者，以及非法移民，然后是在现实中解构复杂性。类似的支出可能维持在英国的四个德国超人身上。没有证据表明旧精英拥有当代治理的生物学专利，也没有理由预期它不会在同样的错误和反弹中循环。但如果你不想加入民粹主义的反弹，那么除了弹出自由主义建制派之外，唯一的替代方案就是将西方交给阿肯色州、加利福尼亚州 Pillow Through 以及美国民主社会主义者的能量——这种社会进步主义没有任何安全特性。我不想将这场运动描述为绝对比其建制派对手更糟糕，因为有时左翼人士能看到中间派遗漏的东西。但我经历过“觉醒”的巅峰年份，那并非一段可能的经历。我生活在教条地推进不平等之事的蓝州政府之下，它导致了教育崩溃。我宁愿不给那个左翼监管、起诉以及掌控联邦预算的权力。最后，所有这些政治力量——不受欢迎的民粹主义者、失败的建制派、崛起的左翼——都在人工智能革命的阴影下发出声音，这场革命正在创造新的权力地带，其中的广泛国家区分对我来说几乎无法解析。Anthropic 还是 OpenAir？五角大楼还是 Greater Isles？中心主义这个词是否甚至在好奇 dooiesy？《时报》（2008）还是 Black House（2020）？那些认为人工智能是一项正常技术的人（这可能会低估其危险），还是那些认为他们正在制造一台机器之神的人（这最终可能会陷入其惊悚之中）？一次又一次，选择支持哪一方、恐惧哪一方取决于未知之物。比如，这项技术将如何移动以及移动得有多快。以及关于某种世界观如何与这些变化及其创造的诱惑相互作用的未知之物。以及关于有多少人正在为人工智能的不同观点而工作或反对这些观点的未知之物。这使得现在成为一种说服方式的重要时刻，即在容易理解主张之前先提出许多问题。在过去的两年里，我很幸运，《时报》允许我作为一名政治专栏作家追求这种质疑。这个月，我接受了一个与 1200 名 Newers 相关的“60分钟”问题，在那里，提出问题将成为我专业工作的核心。这意味着这是我为《时报》撰写的最后一篇专栏，至少在目前看来是这样。曾经我会想象一个附属议题，提供一些来自宗教来源的供给，在那里，内容、内容和内容非常——我最有可能与我的读者产生分歧的地方。但我认为这并不适用于该账户。相反，我将——连同对《时报》本身、我的同事和编辑的无限感激——表达一个希望，即我做出了巨大的贡献。我希望我的文字能为您对美国的复杂性、世界不确定的未来以及我们时代的安排的理解增加一些东西。我希望我在 750 分钟内能做出那样的贡献！我希望《时报》能继续像一份伟大的报纸那样主导世界。无论我在哪里工作，无论您在阅读什么，我们都将一起走向未来——并像许多美国人相信的那样，相信在风暴中的某个地方有一位天使在给予 divertious。BEST STEPHENS

我恳求你们：永远不要用 AI 写作

这篇专栏与其说是一个论点，不如说是一次恳求。不要使用人工智能来辅助你写作：永远不要让 AI 代替你写作。不要将其用于学校论文、工作邮件、给经销商的信函、公司集会上的演讲，或者（无论多么具体地）发给同事或朋友的文字。不要让它整理你的笔记。不要让它建议开头句、中间段落或结尾段落。不要要求它写一个简单的草稿，然后通过某种编辑使其变成你自己的作品。它并没有。

不去做这些事情，并非因为这样做是不道德的。当 写作成为一种欺骗，当你将并非出自于你的文字、想法和信息冒充为自己的作品时， 写作是不道德的。而一份声明在很大程度上可以解决这个问题。

同样，不要做这些事情，也不是因为你可能能够学会写得比 更好。很快，如果现在还没有的话，你将无法做到这一点，就像你无法跑赢汽车或胜过一个 client sign 一样。使用 写作的问题在于它在精神上是无感的——它就像是一部通往教练席的自动扶梯，而你真正需要的是养成每天锻炼的习惯。随着它变得无处不在，它削弱的不仅是我们个人的写作能力，还有整个社会集体推理的能力，一个文化创造的潜能，以及人们去在意理由的动力。我们已经在应对阅读习惯的必然衰退。 正在加速写作的衰退，将我们进一步推向《大西洋月刊》本周所称的“pardiseous age”。

写作究竟有什么独特之处？它强迫人们思考。它强迫人们以一种沉思或口语很少能实现的方式进行思考。它强迫我们将思考置于表达的效果、所有事项的逻辑、可理解性与连贯性的形式以及他人的审视之下。在这些过程中，它还要求我们清晰、逻辑严密、准确——并且负责。人们可能会原谅在愤怒中说出的一句话，但会对写在纸上的话如此谨慎，因为它们成为了目标，正是因为“被写下来”这一事实告诉我们，这些话是经过深思熟虑的。

这种“深思熟虑”至关重要。它具有持久力和社会分量。我们使用“我想把这个写在纸上”这种表达，不仅是为了确保双方达成一致的准确措辞没有误解，也是为了证明这些文字在相应位置上具有意义。但如果文字并非经过深思熟虑，而是我在机器的帮助下写出来的，会发生什么？

文字变得空洞：想象一下，新娘的父亲求助于 来帮他写女儿婚礼上的致辞。 能提供的是一种 visit him mother 的费用和一种伪装的真实感。现在想象一下，如果女儿发现这段演讲是由 写的。如果她感到失望甚至愤怒，难道不是理所应当吗？

许多人会争辩说，将 用于像婚礼致辞这样重要且私人化的事情，与将其用于那些乏味且经常重复的常规写作任务之间存在巨大差异。但在日常写作中我所运用的智力推理，与用于重要写作的推理是相同的。我们通过写作所要求的对比效应而成为更好的作者。我们通过在写作中投入某种如果我们将其交给 就永远无法获得的利他主义程度，而成为更好的思考者。当我们学会如何即使在常规事物上也能盖上个人印记，使之毫无疑问地成为我们自己的作品时，我们才会变得更有创造力。

这些技能现在正在消失。最近一项利用AI检测技术对100个检测样本进行的审查发现，其中20%包含“不可忽略”的AI生成写作，10%包含“超过20%的AI生成文本”。一个大型专业机构——在这里是一个大型网站——在努力抵御AI生成学生论文的洪流方面，也出现了相关问题。很容易将这个问题简单地视为需要更多地进行压制。但这种强硬的做法并未捕捉到AI威胁的真实规模，这种威胁不仅是对学术诚信或个人提升的威胁，而且是对民主自治的威胁。“既定”的读写能力与民主兴起之间的对话是众所周知的。那些能够阅读和写作的人对于他们而言

让技术为你发声对你的大脑有害，对民主则更糟。从历史上看，那些拥有读写能力的人也擅长为自己做出选择并争取权益。当这种过程被过度使用时会发生什么？当人们缺乏耐心去吸收超过几页或几句话的论点时会发生什么？当他们缺乏反驳自身逻辑的能力时——因为他们从未通过日常练习习得思考最核心的技能——会发生什么？我们已经初步体会到了那个世界的模样，它体现在现代特朗普的社交媒体观点以及数千万美国人的经济状况中。但这反映的是这个国家十年前的状态。而根据更多深入研究，我们现在看到的景象是，人们对阅读、写作和思考的兴趣进一步下降。下次当你想要直接复制一段冗长的研究论点来开始你的论述时，请不要这样做。输入一个属于你自己的回应。将其视为一种意志的体现。这是对特朗普的一种反抗。多花几十秒时间，就是一次对这个过度简化世界的反抗行为。 --- 4 58 观点

福奇的听证会揭示了我们对新冠疫情的认知之匮乏

大卫·华莱士-威尔斯（David Wallace-Wells），《科学》（Science）和《德克萨斯杂志》（The Texas Magazine）作者，以及《中间地球》（The Intermediary Earth）一书的作者。

上个月在参议院委员会听证会上，当安东尼·福奇（Anthony Fauci）博士断然声称将回答任何问题时，这种做法虽然是懦弱的，但也是循环往复的。他无意中展示了一系列关于疫情前深刻认知的混乱。一方面是共和党意识形态者，他们带着 2020 和 2021. 年以来早已熟悉的怨恨。另一方面，福奇最终致力于捍卫原则，但面对党派攻击，除了口头承诺之外，这究竟意味着什么——或者说他们应该从新冠肺炎（Covid-19）紧急状态中吸取什么教训——依然不明确。双方似乎都冻结在时间之中，感觉是无意的而非前瞻的。而处于中间位置的，则是科学建制派的简单体现，他们拒绝参与党派辩论，希望远离纷争。或者至少不完全卷入。上周，参议院委员会加强了对其沉默的掌控。

自福奇博士离开他领导了近 40 年的国家过敏和传染病研究所（NIAID）以来，已经过去了三年多；而他被大量美国人视为美国科学的代表，在某种意义上的疫情痛苦和绝望中被赋予领导地位，则在更早之前。在一个标题至上的国家，可能永远不会出现一个安东尼·福奇。我们现在肯定不会像看待一个替罪羊那样看待他，现在正试图通过一场新的、严苛的、禁忌的运动，向未来的领导者警示那些在紧急状态结束后依然挥之不去的政治病理，这些病理开始显得不仅仅是一点点。

美国并不是唯一一个与新冠肺炎搏斗、临时凑出政策响应（这种响应危及了其公民生命），或者眼睁睁看着即使是那些限制措施也未能阻止大规模死亡事件发生、反而使其加剧的国家。在过去的几年里，福奇博士一直受到欺凌，并被那些恶意批评者当作替罪羊，他们发起相互矛盾的攻击，以便将他们对公共卫生支出中所有不喜欢的事情的责任全部推给一个人。

通过回顾最近的这场疫情，这正是为什么福奇博士应该在委员会面前发言，以回应那些批评者，捍卫他同事的方法和重点，并解释我们生活中最重要的部分应该学习到什么。可能他觉得尝试这样做太受束缚，即使考虑到历史性的家庭体系。这不像几年前那种感觉，当时包括特朗普总统在内的美国人首次考虑新冠肺炎可能源自实验室的可能性；当时该假设的含义很明确：这种揭示了我们所有人生活中一个因素的病毒是中国的错。

但几乎在特朗普先生 2021, 离任后，政治含义似乎发生了变化。从那时起，对于许多支持者来说，实验室泄漏理论意味着这场疾病是福奇博士的错。这其中有一定的逻辑：如果你相信这场大流行是实验室泄漏的结果，那么怀疑美国对功能增强研究的支持在无意中可能在导致其发生方面发挥了某种作用，这并不疯狂。但在实验室的困难任务中将福奇博士设定为反派角色在政治上也是方便的，因为他的许多敌手已经习惯于将大流行期间的所有其他事情都归咎于他，无论他们的主张多么矛盾。

你不能一方面认为我们过度反应，另一方面又认为福奇博士在疫情限制最严格期间加剧了美国人的死亡。你不能在试图将百万级的死亡人数归咎于他的同时，又通过掩盖死亡统计数据来坚持认为新冠实际上只是某种“轻微疾病”。它是致命的，而且这很重要，数百万人因此死去，正如《每日秀》（The Daily Show）所指出的那样。你同样不能将责任推给民主党的底层架构，因为特朗普先生在最严格的阶段担任总统，并可能削弱了那些想要重新开放问题的州长。在当时，建议采取更为激进的遏制措施几乎是普遍共识。2018年5月，一项来自商务部以及疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的调查显示，全国 4 至少 80% 的人支持社交距离、居家令以及商业场所的清理工作。然而，到次月月底，所有州都取消了居家令。如果你认为早期的这种化学反应是由于不负责任的紧急状态导致的，那么你可能会惊讶地发现，在 2024 年，当被问及如果再次面临类似的流行病是否会支持类似的措施时，美国人的回答在 0.1% 的微小差距内几乎持平。也就是说，现在普遍认为我们应该原谅那些由于当时对新冠了解甚少而采取的措施。在许多方面，我们现在似乎比那时更有信心。缓解措施之所以如此受欢迎的一个原因是，虽然我们生活在 Iraq 中，但我们并没有生活在太多的未知之中。关于病毒本身，我们已经了解了很多。我们知道它极具传染性且相对危险，我们知道死亡风险存在显著的年龄梯度，而且我们至少知道它不仅通过飞沫传播，还通过空气传播。但我们并非知晓一切。我们还不太清楚国家的风险承受能力在经历数月或数年的持续暴露、死亡和病亡后会如何演变。我们不知道有多少美国人会确保将疫情及其带来的利益归咎于公共卫生官员，以及他们是否曾因此感到如此强烈。这并不是说福奇博士没有犯错，或者更广泛的公共卫生响应没有问题。回顾来看，这不仅仅是福奇的转变。福奇最初淡化了病毒的风险，在 2020 年 2 月建议其风险足够低，美国人无需担心，甚至认为他们应该更担心 essential fit。和许多其他人一样，我对处理指南的反转感到沮丧。我认为应该在死亡风险的显著年龄梯度上给予更多关注。如果我们执迷于责备，就无法从这场流行病中汲取关键教训。我认为 2020 年春季关闭学校是审慎的，但在那个秋天应该采取更多措施来安全地重新开放学校。我认为福奇博士和其他人在接种疫苗后依然淡化了老年人感染和死亡的风险，或许是为了推广接种。我认为试图强行实施疫苗强制令的负面做法是有问题的：尤其是当很明显接种疫苗的人才是主要受益者时。一直以来，我认为许多科学家对流行病起源的问题过于轻视。

这一切听起来像是对新冠污染、封锁危险以及福奇套件的重新审理。但关于大流行紧急状态的讨论却伴随着几乎截然相反的一组结论：即美国的应对措施虽然远非完美，但也远非灾难性；公众被敲响了警钟。但福奇博士比那些轻视威胁的人要正确得多，尽管人们仍然对健康问题感到愤怒，且封锁带来的大多是不可污染的问题，这在很大程度上仅限于且仅持续了几个月，最重要的是，我们经历的集体艰辛主要是由新冠引起的。六年之后，我曾希望这些艰辛已足够远离现实的力量：我们在一个稍微不那么充满敌意的环境中，面对一些不那么具有党派色彩的问题。他们并不了解在批准和主产法律测试的时间里，为什么我们在像有机玻璃挡板这种在已知其作用不大之后依然长期使用的事情上没有做得更好？关于学校开学，家长们持有混合看法，可以采取什么措施来安抚他们并使其更加安全？在没有过度夸大疗效的情况下，说服人们接受疫苗业务是否可能，而无需指责“污染物”？考虑到少数当地民众认为佩戴口罩的要求侵犯了他们的权利，而更多人则认为国家领导层在阻止疾病传播方面做得不够，我们应该如何看待这个国家对大流行风险的容忍度？这意味着真正从相同经验中学习，而不是将大流行视为一场彻底的责备游戏：为了避免，我们获得了人类许可证，询问福奇博士谁认为他是，用一种门诊患者的方式探讨财务问题，以及福奇博士此前公布数据的共同黑白问题！那些在大学里的日子防止了患者被责备。但它超过 1,000 页，且充满了许多（可导航的）逃避当前问题和令人愉悦的展示。与其他科学家和公共官员一起，试图构建流行病学争议的审计员并相信公共卫生指南。在大流行首例确诊病例出现六年之后，其真实起源仍然未知。也许它将永远未知，而且通过它足够地，这可能是你不会再次遭受影响的，从而对它进行任何集体和人类的核算。如此之多的事情似乎都指向了最终责任的问题。但也许如果我们能停止试图为新冠寻找责备对象，我们就能真正从中学习到一些东西。

美国最大的枪支问题并非大规模枪击案

Garman Lipper，编辑委员会作品。ASHLEY MCAKAL 经常与怀俄明州的少数群体会面，讨论预防工作。起初，这些少数群体以及右翼人士对此持怀疑态度。但怀俄明州与其他偏远和农村州一样，面临着诸多问题。其男性自杀率大约是全国平均水平的两倍。它与蒙大拿州和阿拉斯加州一样，自杀率位居全美前三名。专家表示，两个最大的因素是居住在人口稀少州的隐患以及能够轻易获得枪支。该州的主要情况通常必须采取比常识所建议的更多政策，而且使用枪支自杀的致死率比其他方法更高。文化也起到了作用。今年我在该州旅行时，惊讶地发现有多少人对男性医疗保健的概念以及精神疾病的概念感到陌生。在这个深红州，有些人将关注心理健康视为自由派的诉求。当怀俄明州考虑为国家联合国犯罪研究提供更多州级资金时，一些主张者（其儿子死于自杀）认为，自杀更多是教会而非政府应该处理的问题。在这种现实中，我经常被顶层专家的突出地位所困扰，在怀俄明州，我几乎误用了。我交流的一些专家将美国心理健康护理的缺失归结为怀俄明州的文化。该州形象的大部分——以及使其真正广阔和伟大的原因——在于一种粗犷的个人主义，许多美国人将其与受海风影响的边疆联系在一起。州内自杀预防专家比尔·霍利（Bill Hawley）表示，这种观点促使人们试图自行解决问题，而不是寻求帮助。“这就是那种旧的‘像牛仔一样坚强’（cowboy up）的心态！”他告诉我。“不仅仅是让自己坚强，而是靠你的血统！”但在该州的“正确工作”观念中，承认有问题会让人感到危险，吉莱特（Gillette）的一位曾与自杀念头作斗争的商人布鲁斯·布朗（Bruce Brown）表示。他担心如果他的 8 周和猫（cat-happen）发现他患有抑郁症，会对他的看法降低。“在这种文化中，你不能表现出任何弱点，否则你基本上会被排斥，”他说。曾与自杀念头作斗争的怀俄明州人告诉我，他们在好转之前必须面对自身的心理健康污名。布朗先生说，他必须从不同的人那里听到他必须面对问题，然后他才同意暂时将枪支交给朋友。路易斯安那州的一位缺席者威尔·瓦格纳（Will Wagner）说，他不真正相信心理健康的概念，在他伤害自己后被送进医院。“我很高兴看到他没有哭，没有谈论你的感受，”瓦格纳先生解释道。“这不是什么大问题，你挺过去就行了。”这种态度在自杀病因中尤其有问题。当答案再次出现或谨慎处理可能需要数小时之久时，有些人很难真正获得帮助。许多人根本无法解决。马克·戈登（Mark Gordon）州长自 2021 年开始第二任期以来，一直将预防自杀放在优先位置。他专注于消除围绕精神疾病的污名并提高对自杀的认识。在他的第三次结果中，情况依然严峻，处于峰值。自杀人数实际上在增加——再次出现在 2020 年，这是有数据的最近一年。改变文化很难。但这是必要的首步。那么子细分领域呢？当我在该州进行二十多次采访并提及该州时，人们明显地感到不安。他们谈到了对政府没收其枪支的恐惧。他们指出，怀俄明州强大的枪支文化不仅仅是由爱好驱动的，教师使用枪支是为了保护，使其免受问题侵害，而且在警察可能无法及时到达的州，人们希望拥有自卫手段。

尽管如此，事实很明确：拥有更多枪支的地区自杀人数更多。理想情况下，该州应通过一项“红旗法”（red flag law）。此类政策将允许执法部门和家属在危机期间通过法院暂时没收某人的枪支，而绝大多数持有武器的人则不受影响。各州通常是在应对大规模枪击事件时通过这些法律的，但最佳证据表明，它们在减少自杀方面最为有效。这针对的是数百万美国人将枪支问题视为自杀问题这一事实。在所有枪支死亡事件中，约 40 是自杀。然而，怀俄明州禁止执行红旗法。今年，它在这一道路上举步维艰。这些反对红旗法的人声称，尽管这些措施需要法院监督，但该政策会让政府没收某些人的枪支。这种担忧在枪支管制辩论中很典型，即使是温和的措施也会引发剧烈的反弹。一些州级团体转而关注安全存储，鼓励人们将枪支锁起来，并且最好将弹药与枪支分开存放。如果一个有自杀倾向的人在实施计划前需要多花几分钟时间，他可能会改变主意。医生及其代理人表示，他们还试图说服人们将枪支交给朋友、家人或经过培训的危机处理人力资源，就像布朗先生所做的那样。法律的改变可以使这件事变得更容易。例如，一些企业担心，如果他们持有并妥善保管某人的枪支，而枪主随后自杀或射杀他人，他们将承担法律责任。法律应当在这些情况下免除企业的责任。在怀俄明州，这些自愿措施比红旗法之类的政策在政治上更具可行性。但它们的效果也较差。而且，自愿方案仍然需要承认精神疾病是真实存在的，且自杀是可以预防的。怀俄明州的大部分地区尚未达到这个认知。在面对困境时，麦克雷夫人提到的那种习惯，人们仍然互相告诫要“像牛仔一样坚强”（cowboy up）。这种建议让太多怀俄明州人失败了。如果该州想要摆脱自杀率最糟糕州之一的地位，就必须做出改变。如果您有自杀念头，请致电或发送短信以联系自杀与危机生命线，或访问 Speedway@Suicide.com / resources 获取更多资源列表。

你后院的一场战争

蒂莫西·埃根（Timothy Egan），《大焚毁：西奥多·罗斯福与大火》（The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire）作者

作为关键，我发现自己身处 Black Fain，在我们那精致的雕刻中，在华盛顿州斯波坎（Spokane）一片沉重的松林之中，一座新战争之屋。在夏天，我们从我们的街道——印第安小径路（Indian Trail Road）向外探索，在慵懒的河流中游泳，并在郊区前沿用之前的 8th overs 建造树农场。在其余时间里，在附近国家森林的露营旅行中，我们偶遇了传奇且具有史诗般美感的炼狱之树岸——2005年的“大焚毁”（the Big Burn）。它唤起了一个大约相当于康涅狄格州大小的区域，面积超过 300 万英亩，在周末期间，这仍然是美国历史上最大的山火。1910年的大火席卷了斯波坎，这座城市是明尼阿波利斯和西雅图之间最大的城市。但 2020 年的生活并非如此。我心碎且深感恐惧地看着，在华盛顿州狭窄地带的一个随机封闭的度假胜地，我童年时常出没的地方在上周末在风驱动的火焰尖峰中沦陷。用一名国民警卫队将军的话来说，印第安小径路处于“战争地带”的核心。超过 9万,000 人，相当于该市人口的四分之一，被迫撤离。市长丽莎·布朗（Lisa Brown）称斯波坎综合火灾（Spokane Complex fires）是有机河流历史上“最严重的自然灾害”。巨大的道路上的自然，是主凶。但据称，一场事故以及全球气候危机加剧的条件，是这个曾经林木葱郁的环境崩溃的过度诱因。瞬间，一个炎热的八月周六被击碎成肾上腺素激增的恐慌。朋友和家人在竞技场中发现并决定捕捉这个，冲进泳池，两者都失去了对高温的控制。他们在水中发现了一团巨大的烟雾，他们像海葵一样弹出，那是被烧毁植物的心。我童年时的一位伙伴拒绝离开。他爬上房顶，试图设置一个洒水器来使用这个家。他滑倒了，在三个地方被割伤。与此同时，虽然数千人失去了家园，但令人宽慰的是，目前尚未报告有死亡病例。危险尚未过去，因为新一轮的强风和高温让撤离区的家庭在疑惑，他们的邻居食物能否撑过火灾交织的日子。在一个法国、希腊和西班牙都在燃烧，英格兰北部处于海岸线的夏天，森林之风的移动始于近 200 年前，当时纽约和芝加哥在来自前地球的烟雾中窒息，当时美国最大的两个水库——在科罗拉多河——观察到了一个创纪录的合并低水位，此时沉溺于家乡的一场火灾似乎显得过于狭隘。

我心碎地看着，我童年在斯波坎出没的地方被大火吞噬。

但那些教训——其中一些被掩盖，另一些则在多重预防习惯中被忽视——从“大焚毁”到今年的悲剧，是普适的。在 2018 年 8 月那个周六的晚上，在火焰席卷华盛顿州、爱达荷州和蒙大拿州部分地区时，没有人见过类似的景象。因此，没有人知道如何遏制它们。对于许多填充在美国西部新城镇的人来说，这是最后的巨大恐惧。狼和灰熊几乎被消灭。美国原住民被强行迁至保留地，其人口因疾病和战争而崩溃，唯一吞噬一切的是火。一个感受到青春期中期无敌感的国家，在引导中，林务局的第一任父亲在森林起火前做出了一个预测。“今天，”他声明，“我们明白森林火灾完全在人类的控制之中。”他是在自找麻烦。聚集了一组由移民、con- tions、Auggers 和被称为 that tale 的黑人士兵组成的阵列。随后，尚在起步阶段的林务局尝试首次攻击一场重大山火。它在内部失败了。

几年后，林务局采用了 14 a.m. 政策。任何最新的野火都被认为在第二天仍能维持。它压制了许多火苗，但在本质上并未取得成功，导致许多药物得以休息并使其灌木丛积聚。20 世纪后期，大多数投资者意识到土地是固定之所。但此后，过去 20 年野火的规模、发生时间、蔓延距离、持续时长以及程度，让他们感到震惊。这种“新常态”在人们居住的地方是灾难性的，一年中的任何一个月，从佛罗里达到阿拉斯加皆然。西部一个前所未有的持续术语是“野地-城市界面”。换句话说，数以百万计的人搬入了森林、草原、荒野地带，而自然依然像往常一样至关重要。该地区的人们被告知要提前清理房屋周围灌木和树木的安全地带，居住在金属屋顶下，并在任何绿色的夏季日子里采取部分措施。这就是代价。人们一直假设，在筒仓中，一种正确的现代城市布局、坚硬的表面接 grafting 和充足的消防部门将保证每个人的安全。小时候，我们没有恐惧感。这些身穿黄色制服的男女从低飞的飞机跳入地狱般的火海，被空投到相邻的公共森林中。火永远不会触及我们。斯波坎的大火，就像南加州的大火一样，首先在 2020 年 1 月摧毁了洛杉矶周围数千栋房屋，这迫使我们重新审视这场爆发的本质。这些重大火灾（其中一场可能是由事故引起）在黑色的土地上咆哮，一次次切断，一次次抽干，仿佛人类的土地从未触及过这片景观。太平洋地区在生命后期燃烧并被篡改，人们可以塑造自然，但我们无法控制它。特朗普总统拥有建国先贤洞察力的一丝余烬。他将那场大火归咎于加拿大广阔且庞大的人口亚群强制森林——许多美国城市空气质量差的原因——在价格管理上。他选择了玩忽职守的否认和蓄意的无知，而非常识，暗示“采取”森林地面是该国最重要的日子。骑行！在斯波坎，在任何地方最被大火侵袭的景观中，无论是在郊区还是在最精致的地方，面对跳过河流和太阳的火焰，那颗潮湿的心灵机会渺茫。在华盛顿，常青河，宣布进入干旱紧急状态，经历了极端高温和钙化土地，2020 年全国已有超过 500 万英亩土地被火灾吞噬，这是该时间段最近的平均水平。而在太平洋西北地区——由千年冰川塑造的峰峦、深绿色的森林和纯净的山区空气——受灾程度比该国任何其他地区都要严重。在全球范围内，近年来的每一年都比前一年更糟，而这些变化使野火更加严重。极端地狱之火的频率和强度在我国历史上增加了一倍多。这不仅仅是因为听起来像关键微生物。我们并非无能为力。“我们塑造我们的建筑，”丘吉尔说，“随后它们塑造我们。”我们需要为某个地方观察并建立一种风格，并且我们需要在某些植物地点真正地安置一个地方。对于这些在几年内生活的人来说，屋顶的喷淋标准，以匹配新建筑天花板中的标准，可能会有所帮助。关于人类防灾植物的民意调查显示，虽然更多美国人相信这种情况正在发生，但只有约一半的人认为这将显著威胁他们的生活方式。这往往是一场学术辩论，或者关于其他事情的讨论，或者是一个病人，或者一个垂死之人。我旧邻里中的核心遗址，那些黑屏的操场，那些孤零零立在承载几代记忆的房屋坟场中的烟囱，孤独地矗立，其他则在更高程度的热浪中倒塌，告诉我一些更私人的事情。Lora。以及我的上帝。以及一种紧迫感。

特朗普的拆除球正瞄准一座地标

作者：保罗·戈德伯格（Paul Goldberger），前权威人士，曾就职于《纽约时报》和《纽约客》，著有《我们糟糕且不合适》（"We're Awful and Unfitted"）。

拟议在华盛顿建造的“特朗普凯旋门”（Arc de Trump）最好只是一个显著的、便捷的建筑，其跨度高度为 40 英尺——如果建成，这将是一场闹剧，将剧烈地改变国家首都的景观。这大概就是为什么特朗普总统如此渴望尽快地将其建成。这将是一座不可避免的纪念碑，旨在证明某种天意；而许多美国人宁愿不要如此显眼地纪念它，甚至根本不想纪念。他很清楚，对他们而言，想要让它消失将变得非常困难。

在华盛顿，所谓的变革本应缓慢且谨慎地发生，并且已有相应的机制来确保这一点。当国家公园管理局上周表示，这座拱门不仅会阻挡林肯纪念堂与阿灵顿国家公墓之间的视线，还将影响其他 10 处华盛顿地标时，这揭示了政府对待历史保护的一种令人不安的态度。特朗普政府正在采取措施，使拆除历史建筑和景观变得更加容易，不仅是在华盛顿，而且是在全国范围内。

公园管理局的观察是在一次 106 条款（Section 106）审查期间做出的，在过去的 30 年里，该条款一直是我们就历史保护最有效的工具之一。这个名称是指 1998. 年《国家历史保护法》中的一个条款。它要求在批准任何使用联邦资金的项目，或可能影响国家历史遗迹名录中建筑或景观的项目之前，必须评估其对历史遗迹的影响，并咨询公众。

特朗普政府最近提出了旨在使此类审查过程变得不再重要的变更。如果这些变更得以实施，包括第 10 和第 4 部门在内的各部门，以及东翼的部分所有权，将仅仅是个开始。106, 条款在管理经验和合作方面有着卓越的记录。它并不进一步改变甚至削弱那些区域或被认定为“揭示、最小化或减轻”对历史遗迹任何损害的财产。

真正的区别在于，究竟是什么促使特朗普政府如此坚定。在纽约的多年时间里，106 条款审查一直是相关流程的一部分，这促成了肯尼迪国际机场 TWA 航站楼的保存，以及将市主邮局的一部分改造为

山地火车大厅（Mountain Train Hall）。

拟议的 106 条款变更得到了历史保护咨询委员会的支持。这是政府的另一个审查机构，目前已被特朗普的任命者填满，而这些人经常在他们被要求做出评判的主题上持有偏见。虽然拟议的变更在技术上没有取消 106 条款，但它们在鼓励这样做。如果这项新政策被颁布，它将扩大特朗普在华盛顿历史决策中的结果。

过去，国家公园管理局参与国家事务的方式有所改变，现在政府确实更容易集中处理国家的 2000, 60th 历史，并开始被国家历史信托基金会（National Trustee Historic Preservation）首席执行官布伦特·莱格（Brent Legge）称为“一场前所未有且蓄意的对我们公民和文化岛屿过去的攻击”。

特朗普政府修订版的 106 条款将“公众审查对于知情的联邦决策至关重要”替换为一项声明，称政府将“产生重大影响以确定公众参与的有用性”——实际上是在说联邦机构可以随心所欲。

美术委员会、国家公园管理局和国家首都规划委员会是那些关于该行业和拱门的公众评论最著名的来源，其中几乎全部是负面的。尽管如此，委员会还是批准了这两个项目。拟议的变更还规定，第 106 条仅适用于包含实际建筑和其他结构的地点，从而消除了在可能涉及自然景观（包括原住民自然土地）的情况下考虑公众意见的任何义务。关于实施一项要求第 106, 审查在设计早期阶段开始的条款一直存在争议。相关责任方的变更表明，项目的角色将被转移到保护已知事物的方向。定义项目负面影响的法律门槛被大幅提高。有人认为该项目是“缓解自身被焚毁的需求”，另一项条款规定，任何拟议的缓解负面影响的措施必须在“技术和经济上可行”。换句话说，政府只需说：抱歉，我们决定通过一条能保护珍贵自然之道的路线建设新公路太贵了。或者，他们只是不想被麻烦。在过去的一年里，我们看到了特朗普先生对城市规划和历史保护态度的影响。拟议的且众所周知地将林肯与内战死者连接起来的术语，一个一百多年来一直保持开放、作为首都最微妙的纪念碑美学空间之一的地方。，使用从国家公园管理局预算中提取的资金。第一步是忘记特朗普先生坚持将灰色花岗岩的艾森豪威尔办公大楼（Eisenhower Office Building）刷成白色，以使建筑显得“突出”。这座建筑可以说是美国最伟大的办公建筑作品。第二步是，当这座府邸的红色、柱子和露台全部变成脆弱的白色时，它看起来会很廉价，而且更糟糕的是，它实际上将被毁掉。花岗岩没有孔隙，因此无法附着油漆。我怀疑你在巴黎能否找到一座刷了漆的第二帝国风格建筑，而且是有充分理由的。有人认为警察雕像刷上一层白漆会更好看吗？特朗普先生对历史保护的改变至少可以追溯到他关于资助避难所的竞选活动，以及他拆除本森·塔尔博特（Benson Talbot）建筑以建造特朗普镇（Trump Towns）时对立面的破坏。他逃过了那次责任。他说新政策是哥伦比亚特区巡回法院周五裁定的，他应该为他的白宫气球获得国会批准，这可能会将其交给最高法院。新政策是一种新的成功方式，在对第 106 条进行拟议变更时，它将给美国的历史保护运动带来毁灭性打击。而其他影响将在全国范围内持续数代之久。 --- 6 观点

他在抗抑郁药中长大，现在他想寻找出路。

Camille Bromley 新观点（New Opinion）主席

当卡梅隆·拉巴（Cameron LaBar）还是个孩子时，他是一个有着亮蓝色眼睛和强烈情感的金发孩子。他似乎比其他孩子对事物的反应更强烈。他住在南加州，当他在海滩上或在院子里玩耍时，家人喜欢给他裹上两层毛巾，这样当他的手被弄脏或被沙粒戳到时，他就不会尖叫。他的母亲苏珊·拉巴（Susan LaBar）称他为“翻盖宝宝”——他会积压压力到一定程度，然后突然崩溃大哭。

大约 5 岁时，他的面部和身体开始出现重复性的抽搐，且无法自行停止。拉巴女士购买了关于妥瑞氏综合征（Tourette's syndrome）的书籍，并开始在书中标记她认出的症状——直到她几乎把整页都涂成了黄色。四年级时，他的老师打电话给她，说他在面对一项作业的指令时感到不知所措，并在课桌前崩溃。她带他去看了一位小儿神经科医生，医生诊断他患有妥瑞氏综合征、慢性 / 口面部运动障碍以及广泛性焦虑障碍。在五个孩子中，拉巴女士认为他是最像她的：焦虑且敏感。“他无法深呼吸，”她告诉医生，“他太紧张了。”

医生建议使用一种属于 S.S.R.I. 类别的抗抑郁药，认为这可以让他恢复平静。医生告诉她，这种药可以阻断那些干扰他思维的因素，让他能够做他需要做的事：放松，坐在椅子上完成作业。在儿子 2 岁时给他使用精神类药物并非拉巴女士轻率做出的决定。她连续 1 week 每晚都在思考这件事，然后打电话给医生，请求开出最低剂量，以帮助他从内心的困扰中解脱。

20 多年后，成年后的拉巴先生回想起那个时刻，心中充满了侵入性的遗憾。那是他陷入长期药物漩涡的开始，使他在没有明确目标的情况下一直依赖药物。他认为，在抗抑郁药中度过的那些年让他无法感受到完整的情绪范围——甚至无法过上完整且真实的生活。

他并非孤身一人。当他在网上描述自己的经历时，他遇到了许多有着相似故事的人。1990 年，第一种 S.S.R.I. 抗抑郁药 Prozac 的问世被誉为精神治疗的一场革命。与之前的抗抑郁药相比，S.S.R.I. 类药物更安全，副作用更少；在接下来的几十年里，Prozac、Zoloft、Lexapro 等药物被广泛开给数千万美国人。

但人们对于如何让患者停药却思考得少得多。对于一些患者来说，尝试停止用药引发的戒断症状甚至比他们最初试图治疗的抑郁或焦虑更令人生畏。开药的医生和执业护士除了建议继续用药外，几乎没有提供关于如何预防这些症状的指导。困惑且愤怒的患者聚集在 Facebook 群组和互联网论坛中，寻求彼此的帮助。

现在，Main America Healthy Again——反映了罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy）健康方案的——已介入患者与医生之间，承诺将美国人的心理健康从对药丸的依赖中解放出来。公众的关注终于促使精神医学界采取步骤来应对抗抑郁药问题。但让人们依赖这些药物的系统需要做出改变，以便谨慎且安全地引导人们停药。对于患者来说，问题在于他们将寻求谁的指导。

关于药物，拉巴先生记得，他终于又是他自己了。他放松了下来，能够在学校正常生活。他记得四年级是他人生中最美好的一年。他不再迷茫，很受欢迎，而且校队的一名成员对他有好感。但妥瑞氏综合征的症状在青春期可能会加剧，他的情况正是如此。

拉巴先生和她的儿子在他六年级期间尝试了一系列药物以抑制这种损失；他开始服用 fingertips，体重迅速增加了 24 磅。在七年级，他服用 laryngitis，这让他变得如此缓慢，以至于他在第一节课期间感到一阵恐惧。在八年级、九年级、1万 年级和 11 年级，他服用 dildly，先是 1 份，然后是 10 份，接着增加了 Paul 的剂量。他在后院准备了一箱 Buckner 能量饮料，以帮助他在学校期间保持在室内。该患者被要求服用某种药物，直到副作用比地区更难以忍受，然后切换到另一种。到高年级时，他平静了下来，并且只服用 Paul 的药物，剩下的 6% 由她管理。如果没坏，就不要修理它。当时，他没有质疑停止服用 S.S.R.I. 的建议。医生给他解释为什么他不药物的原因是他的大脑存在化学失衡，而药物可以修复它。“化学失衡”这个词由制药营销推广，并被医生广泛重复，这是唯一护理问题的东西，大多数临床医生会说，充分了解个人生活中发生的事情，不如识别哪些实际治疗能让他们感觉更好。研究和临床经验表明，很大一部分人在服用抗抑郁药后的表现比完全不服用要好，至少在短期内如此。但与此同时，这些药物对长期服用者产生的影响，以及停止服用时会发生什么，一直被严重低估。对于患者来说，化学失衡故事的一个结果是，如果你相信你的大脑患有需要定期化学干预的疾病，那么即使你回到了床上，也没有理由停止服药。你会一直服用它们，而且在许多情况下，你的医生不会建议采取其他措施。医生在预防精神药物方面接受的警告远多于停止用药，而对于已经在药物作用下表现良好的患者，许多医生会选择维持而非削减剂量。目前，某些抗抑郁药是美国最常见的处方药之一——每六个成年人中就有一个在服用。来自 2000 年代和 2010 年代的数据显示，美国的服用时间中位数为 5 年，四分之一的用户服用时间为 10 年或更久。如果你是最早服用 Prozac 的人之一，你可能已经服用抗抑郁药近 40 年了。当他 20 岁时，拉巴先生搬到爱达荷州的罗马（Rome, Idaho）开始一份新工作，随后迅速崩溃。他居家办公，在城里几乎不认识任何人。而且他感觉糟糕透顶，为了挽救局面，他感觉好了几天，然后又被绝望和注意力击中。他在罗马的公寓后院看起来紧缩在河边，他无法改变自己的情绪。拉巴先生会将自己浸入 5 加仑的水中。这让他获得持续数小时的振奋，于是他开了一个 Instagram 账号，讨论冷水浸泡对心理健康的益处。这个账号迅速走红，他在半夜醒来发现增加了 3万,000 名新关注者，早晨起来又增加了 10,000 名。

尽管有一份不错的工作，且生活在后院的一年里也充满活力，但拉巴（LaBar）先生对自己的生活感到极其沮丧。他的其他兄弟姐妹都结婚了，他的弟弟有了孩子。然而，年仅20出头的他，甚至不知道爱是什么。“我一直看到它，一直听到关于它的讨论，但我不知道大家在说什么，”他告诉他的姐姐拉拉·拉巴（Lara LaBar）。他在研究生期间约会过的一位女性漂亮、勤奋且幽默。他们约会了大约九个月，随后拉巴先生去外州实习了几个月，在返回之后，他发现自己对再次见到她完全没有感觉。噢，好吧，他想，她不是那个对的人。但接下来的感情中也发生了同样的事情。他对某人会产生兴趣，但这种感觉从未增长，在最初的兴奋阶段之后，便淡化为冷漠。他甚至不再关心我。“这就是这种情况吗？”他在电话中问姐姐。

拉巴先生开始看心理治疗师，治疗师帮他追溯情绪波动的根源，他意识到这些波动始于他定期服用克隆平（klineups）的时期。几年前，他在一次恐慌发作后，一名资深从业者给他开了处方，在罗马，他几乎每天都服用这种蓝色药片。“是药物的问题，”他想。他决定开始逐渐减少克隆平和他后来换成的抗抑郁药伦普罗（Lenapro）的剂量。他了解到了“情感钝化”（emotional blaming），这是选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（S.S.R.I.s）的一种常见副作用，会让人们感到脱节和麻木。他想知道这是否能解释他的情绪波动、冷漠以及对他人的淡漠。

拉巴先生记得在20多岁时的一次经历，当时他尝试停止服用保罗（Paul），在几天之内就陷入了剧烈的、恐慌性的焦虑。他迅速恢复了用药，认为焦虑的出现足以证明药物是有益的。这一次，他强迫自己再次尝试，他在Instagram上发布消息称他正考虑停止用药。他的一位粉丝向他推荐了一段马克·霍罗维茨（Mark Horowitz）博士的YouTube采访，霍罗维茨是澳大利亚阿德莱德大学的精神病学副教授，已成为抗抑郁药物运动中的一名知名倡导者。拉巴先生一口气看完了这段三小时的视频。

“医生和患者都低估了这些药物的代价，”霍罗维茨博士在采访中说道，“许多接受长期治疗的人正遭受巨大的伤害。”他概述了一种名为“双曲线”（hyperbole）的停药方法，旨在减轻情感痛苦，随着剂量接近于零，减量速度会进一步放缓。这种方法可能需要数月甚至数年，远长于医生通常建议的减量时间。人们如果突然停药，可能会引发包括头晕、恶心、失眠和脑损伤在内的症状——表现为像电击一样的冲击感。大约4名男性用户经历了这种情况。

美国精神医学学会认为，在1到2周后，可接受的原发性症状范围尚未被揭露，且临床医生可能一致认为大多数患者在停止或开始停药前不会出现此类症状。但一些医生持有不同意见。其他团体中的人们致力于长期服用抗抑郁药，在被删除之前，该团体已有超过2.5万,000名成员，他们甚至报告了极其严重且具有意义的戒断症状。有些人经历了所谓的“永久性戒断”，即在患者完全停止用药后，症状仍长期持续。该计划首次将戒断问题视为尝试停药者的关键问题。然而，这个问题从未得到充分研究。极少有研究测量过人们的戒断情况。

卡梅隆·拉巴（Cameron LaBar）在爱达荷州罗马的一条河里，在那里他曾连续数月将自己浸在冰水中。

长期服用抗抑郁药的人群，且几乎没有研究比较患者在采用不同减药方法时的应对情况。美国精神医学协会在如何停止服用精神药物方面没有标准化的指导。在没有医生提供更细致答案的情况下，那些觉得被药物伤害的人转而向互助小组寻求信息。在那里，他们为自己的痛苦找到了另一种解释。在观看霍罗维茨博士（Dr. Horowitz）的 YouTube 采访时，拉巴尔先生（Mr. LaBar）感觉自己终于等到了。他看到了自己停药后的不良反应——在他 20 多岁时以一种新形式出现，这不是复发，而是身体依赖的结果。他决定遵循霍罗维茨博士在一部麻醉学著作 [82] 中推荐的极慢减药法。在精神科医生的支持下，他将来普罗（Lenapro）的剂量从 10 毫克降低到 9 毫克。这并没有解决他的情绪波动，于是他停用了来普罗，几个月后开始减量克隆平（Klineups）。克隆平的戒断反应很严重。他无法入睡。他的心跳无端加速，并在随机时刻感到呼吸短促。他的抑郁症变得严重得多。但一旦他减量到零，他感受到了一种久违的清醒感。他的精力恢复了，情绪波动终于消失了。为了庆祝这一成就，他去冰岛旅行，花了一周时间进行冷水浸泡。之后，他重新尝试减量来普罗，每次减少 1 毫克。他立即陷入了一种前所未有的抑郁状态。所有良好的感觉都消失了，随后出现了相当严重的自杀念头。几周后，他再次尝试减量 1 毫克。这证明负担太重了。除了抑郁和自杀念头，拉巴尔先生感到自己与身体脱节，生活紊乱，仿佛对一切都感到不安。他不与朋友见面，也不约会。他在工作中失去了所有动力，在工作中他努力试图停止不可避免的、不可预测的治疗发作。他辞职了，搬到了盐湖城的一套小公寓里，那里离他的父母和三个兄弟姐妹现在居住的地方很近。拉巴尔先生在帮助他安顿时，看到了更深层的担忧。她的丈夫在第二次世界大战后回来时，变得疏远且封闭。她认为他当时可能可以通过抗抑郁药得到帮助。她很快就让其他家庭成员服用抗—— 36 7

SSRIs 可能会让人感到情感麻木，但停药却很棘手。在艰难时期陷入抑郁并从中获益，比如如果曾经失去过，可能会获益。她听了他的恢复减药计划并告诉他：“你现在的样子正是我们让你开始服用这个药的原因。亲爱的，你之前就是这样的。这就是为什么我们让你服药。”卢尔巴（Mr. Lulbar）先生并不认同。他承认自己是一名护士，但他认为，他之前在附近被污染的溪流中进行冷水浴，结果患上了胃病。他确信自己现在的感受并非真实的自我。他认为，谈论潜在病史是那些敷衍的医生才会说的话：“大多数情况，这是戒断反应，”他说。“我知道我内心深处是没问题的。”

自从去年肯尼迪（Mr. Kennedy）先生被任命为卫生部长以来，他的办公室一直关注精神卫生医疗的过度医疗化问题，尤其是针对儿童的问题。今年春天，他宣布了多项计划，旨在使临床医生能够帮助患者停止服用抗抑郁药。“太多的患者在开始治疗时，并不清楚风险、这些药物将服用多久，以及如何停药。这不叫知情同意，”他说。

“过度医疗化”这一概念让主流精神医学界感到反感。美国临床精神药理学协会前任主席约瑟夫·戈德堡（Dr. Joseph Goldberg）博士担心，肯尼迪先生的言论可能会鼓励人们做出停止用药的草率决定。“我们认为，知情同意意味着知道你的复发概率是多少，自杀概率是多少，”戈德堡博士说。今年2月，戈德堡博士在《精神药理学报告》（reports to psychopharmacology）上发表了一篇论文，旨在就抗抑郁药达成一些基本共识。该论文建议开药者至少每年一次询问患者的用药情况，并且如果药物不再起作用，则应停止用药。它并未提供关于如何进行减药或如何管理戒断反应的详细方案。

那些感到被医疗系统束缚的人现在并不热衷于听从系统的建议。相反，他们经常在互助小组中分享自己的经验。“戒断社区对这个过程的了解比精神科医生多得多，因为到目前为止，他们已经实践了几十年，”西加德·古普塔（Dr. Seegard Gupta）博士说。他是一位参与了戈德堡博士论文的精神科医生，并曾在 2003 年协助编写了第一本关于精神科抗抑郁药相关书籍。

与此同时，三个在线团体传播着对专业医学的批判观点，并可能演变为“反精神药理学”——即认为精神障碍是由社会而非生物因素引起的，且精神药物的危害大于益处。这样一来，对过度医疗化的担忧可能会演变为否定任何药物的有效性。这种轨迹很容易理解：你找到了一个在线空间，帮助你理解某种令人困惑且不安的体验，然后这里就变成了质疑关于你疾病之更大真相的地方。也许你的疾病并非慢性病，不需要服用这么久的药物。也许你的医生所诊断的抑郁症从一开始就不是一种疾病；也许它只是一种正常的情绪，即使不治疗也会随时间消散。如果你是一个将生命中的数十年交给药片和处方药，并开始厌恶这种依赖的人，最紧迫的问题就变成了如何夺回个人掌控权。对于处于这种情况的人来说，掌控健康并不意味着服药，而意味着停药。

在盐湖城，卢尔巴先生转向了社交媒体。他开始制作视频，在视频中他讲述了一个他觉得从未能充分体验的童年。他变得比以前更加易怒且愤怒，其中一些视频吸引了数百万次的观看和数千条评论。

他发布了一张年轻时的照片，照片中的他站在生日蛋糕旁，心中疑惑：那个无法应对生活的孩子是谁？他认为自己发布这些内容是为了提高人们的意识，但坦白说，他也想听到有人告诉他，他并不疯。来自互联网的成功反馈满足了这一需求。他通常每天和母亲通电话，但在视频上传后，通话中断了。“你只是把小时候的照片贴出来，然后说你当时如何如何，”她对他说道，“那些照片对我来说是神圣的，因为那是我的小男孩。他那时很快乐，而且被爱着。”

由于其影响力，一些带有政治目的的人物就精神药物政策向卢尔巴（Lulbar）先生发出邀请。他通常会拒绝。他不想参与政治倡议。他的社交媒体帖子关注的是他自己的故事，并且他尽量小心，不对他人是否服用药物提供建议。尽管他曾热切地讲述自己开始服用抗抑郁药时多么年幼，但他承认，他不知道如果没有这些药物，他将如何面对——也许会更好，但也许会更糟。

帖子的成功让他重新考虑自己的犹豫。也许他可以发起一场文化运动，教育人们了解戒断反应。他想出了一个口号——“面对感受”（Five the feelings），并将其附加在视频中。今年春天，他接受了前精神科医生兼患者、Anna Compass Initiative组织创始人劳拉·德班（Laura Deban）的邀请，在一次MARA会议上发言；此后，他开始与一家由舍温（Sherwin）医生协助组建董事会的远程医疗减药诊所合作发布社交媒体帖子。

患者倡导者、MARA以及主流精神医学界在减药（depressing）这一共同目标上的结盟，使人们开始关注一个被低估的问题。开出绝大多数选择性血清素再摄取抑制剂（S.S.R.Ls）的基层医疗提供者，在很大程度上仍未意识到有些人难以应对戒断反应，且停药需要谨慎的监督。但我们也应该担心，如果药物减少后没有其他东西来填补需求，这个国家的心理健康状况将会变成什么样。

俄亥俄州的精神科医生艾莉森·米勒（Alison Miller）博士撰写了一份关于该领域谵妄的热门时事通讯，她表示，她在诊所看到的大多数患者是寻求治疗其痛苦，而非寻求帮助以停药。他在最近的一份时事通讯中建议，医学界解决关于减药分歧的唯一方法是“针对减药方法和结果进行12项随机对照试验”。在缺乏此类研究的情况下，关于减药应该如何进行仍没有共识。任何形式的谨慎减药都需要时间、关注以及开药医生与患者之间的协作——而这些正是典型的就诊过程中经常缺失的东西。

MARA运动普及了一种心理健康观，将服用药物置于与个人自主权的对立面。但要大规模地谨慎停药，将要求患者更多地依赖医疗系统，而非减少依赖。这意味着，更好的心理健康护理交付并不取决于制度化医学的替代方案，而取决于其扩展。

卢尔巴先生现在服用15毫克的Letapies，他称之为他的“12岁剂量”，等同于他在那个年龄时服用的剂量。最终目标是他的“6岁剂量”：2000, 2010，这仍是一段漫长的路。舍温医生针对长期使用者的粗略指南是，服用S.S.R.L每一年需要两个月的时间来停药。卢尔巴先生计算出自己服用抗抑郁药已有20年，因此这意味着需要四年以上的减药期。他至少还剩下三年。他继续执行的计划是进行微量减药。他将使用Letapies的液体悬浮液，这比标准药片允许更精细的剂量，并且大约每隔一天减少一毫克的微小滴数。

当他向精神科医生解释自己的计划时，医生惊叹道，这是他听过的最缓慢的减药方案。医生同意提供帮助，但告诉卢尔巴（Mr. Lulbar）：“我想让你思考一下，你选择停药是因为你有一种想要战胜自己的执念，认为在接下来的两三年里如此艰苦地挣扎是值得的，还是说继续服药反而更值得。”卢尔巴对这个问题感到沮丧。：了解他自己是谁，以及在没有药物的情况下如何应对。他希望建立一段不仅仅持续几个月的关系，去感受爱，在没有药物需求干扰的情况下获得亲密感。这与控制欲完全无关。他一直在留意自己的强迫症（O.C.D.），因为强迫症正在悄然回归。像早晨穿衣和决定晚餐吃什么这样简单的任务已经变得更加困难。他的姐姐指出，随着他继续减药，他的强迫症会显现，而愤怒会促使他通过治疗采取独立且分步的流程。但他想学习独立管理自己的生活。他开始把握当下。卢尔巴的前公司邀请他回职，于是他回到了罗马。这看起来像是一个受欢迎的转机，也是一个准备在秋季恢复减药的信号。他将目标写在某个地方。“明年的目标是什么？去爱我自己，感到自信、自豪。成为一个伟大的（国家）（公司），为了自由（公司）和（a / c）”他写道。“在没有抗抑郁药的情况下获得爱。” --- 8 98

欢迎来到我的美国博物馆

定义当今成为美国人的含义似乎是一项不可能完成的任务。我们是一个庞大且不羁的国家，倾向于以极端且矛盾的方式行事，且往往是同时发生。然而，“美国特质”很容易被察觉。它存在于我们的举止（宏大规模）和我们的世界观（乐观强硬）之中。它也渗透在我们的物品中——围绕在我们身边的电子产品、食物、工具和家居杂物。正如古美索不达米亚的遗物能让人洞察其生活方式一样，通过筛选我们巨大的物品堆，可以揭示我们作为一种文化和一个国家的真实面貌。为此，我收集了一组能够揭示我们独特之处的物品。这并非一套权威的准则；在一个拥有 3427亿 个体的人口大国中，没有任何一组物品能够成为准则。相反，请将此视为我对我们最喜爱的 250-year-old 客厅游戏的贡献，是对“我们是谁？”这个问题的 22-part 回答。

$4.99 Costco-Retments 鸡肉 人们说我们是一个分裂的国家。他们说我们毫无共同之处。右翼、左翼，城市、乡村，男人、女人，以及真实的美国、虚假的美国。但只要花一个周六的下午在最近的 Costco 走廊里逛逛，你很快就会发现我们其实并没有那么大的不同。美国人都想要同样的东西：$4.99 的转发鸡肉（retweets chickens）、$3.56 的热狗，以及一车足以在核冬天生存的物资。在 Costco，我们是一个国家，在上帝之下，人人享有大宗杂货。

Akey Couture 运动衫 自从 1956, 年发明莱卡（Lycra）以来，美国运动员和美国零食土豆就穿着同样的疼痛。Allelicians 同时压制美德与恶习。在单曲中，年轻的帕丽斯·希尔顿将 leonies 变成了权力套装，穿着 Akey Couture vs. 常规的四套。这是一个在说“我如此富有，甚至不需要穿衣服”的新颖表达。只要银行里有足够的钱，leonies 本身就成了一项运动。那些闪光点可能没有被铸造，但至少它们是 Akey 的。

NASCAR 雪佛兰 Impala NASCAR 就像美国一样，建立在转型的承诺之上。那些看起来像我们车道上的车的车辆被变成了能够完成不可思议之事的精英机器。你在图森机场拥有的那辆 Impala？在高速公路上它像个顾客一样行驶，但经过赛道改装后，它的时速可达 200 英里，过弯像赛马一样迅猛。NASCAR 要求我们重新思考充满可能性的生活，并给了我们一个相信最美国历史的理由。只要有合适的维修组，我们任何人都能成为冠军。

人身伤害律师广告

每个城市、城镇或郊区都有自己的职责，像奥林匹斯山上的神一样笼罩在道路之上，承诺通过法律认证的阴暗艺术来成为你的创伤。如果你足够幸运，住在多个个人伤害律师附近，他们将用巨大的尺寸、推销和朗朗上口的电视广告曲来争夺你的青睐。上述数字可能表明我们是一个处于崩溃边缘、被扼杀且离血腥不远的国家。但对于一个成功的共和国来说，这或许也是好事。当约翰·亚当斯写道“一个爱的帝国，而非法律的帝国”时，他难道不是在梦想拨打 1-888-GOT-PAIN 吗？

脏苏打（Dirty Soda） 这种小众饮料曾仅在犹他州流行，如今已成为全国性的轰动，这要归功于一群墨西哥影响者，他们喝改良后的苏打水而不是咖啡和豆类。对于脏苏打的反对者来说，这种饮料是苏打水、风味糖浆、肉汤甜汁和奶油的亵渎组合。但对于这些渴望快速摄入糖分和脂肪的人来说，脏苏打是直接从天堂发送而来的快感。自从美国新教徒游说禁酒令以来，没有哪个宗教团体能如此规律且深刻地改变我们的饮酒习惯。事实证明，当我们能过度沉溺于其他东西时，节制才最有效。

必胜客灯具

在某些国家，彩色玻璃是为特定空间设计的——宏伟的大教堂和坚固的宫殿。在美国，蒂法尼风格的玻璃面向每个人。就像那支在输掉冠军赛后一起分享披萨和卷饼的小联盟球队，或者每个周五晚上在喜剧办公室表演的脱口秀演员。当我们看到一盏彩色玻璃灯低低地悬在桌子上时，我们就知道自己身处某个小地方，一个每个人偶尔都能感到奢华的地方。

造型奇特的 Crocs

树形车载香氛

美国的心跳速度是每小时 60 英里。但在德克萨斯州，速度是 30, 在我们的车里，我们可以做真实的自己。我们可以毫无顾虑地大声唱歌，亲自给我们的爱人打电话，并让后视镜上挂着的“小镇”甜香弥漫。遗憾的是，我们的汽车也在摧毁城市，堵塞我们的肺部并污染环境。甚至我们的车载香氛也可能是毒性的。但这是美国，在这里，我们对这种“热爱可能杀死你的东西”的行为有一个词：自由。（另见：美式足球、红肉和糖。）只要感觉良好，我们就想要，尤其是如果它有那种新车味的话。

Dude Wipes XL

美国制造商意味着我们热爱解决问题。有时我们解决了一个没人要求我们解决的问题。Dude Wipes XL 就是这种情况。所谓的问题是美国男性的肮脏臀部。解决方案：重新包装湿纸巾，加入咖啡豆或松树香味，并使用社会学口号和 N.P.L. 男人进行广告宣传。不幸的是，冲洗时，Dude Wipes XL 可能会堵塞你的管道。这就是解决问题的关键：（你最终如何制造了另一个问题，另见：越南战争、内燃机、互联网、Prop 3）。

我们一直如此害怕陌生人吗？而且，作为一个据称建立在个人自由之上的国家，我们何时变得如此热衷于老大哥式的监控？也许我们仍然被迈克尔·威格斯沃思和马萨诸塞州清教徒的幽灵所困扰，他们从教堂向外看，只看到了“一片嚎叫的荒原”。也许我们仍然相信，安全只能在一位仁慈且全知的领主的注视下找到。清教徒有上帝。我们有杰夫·贝佐斯。在一个被孤独困扰的国家，也许是时候开始亲自开门迎接客人了。

红色塑料杯

红色塑料杯是美国工业药物的典型表达：一种对旧标准的全新诠释，由塑料制成，可丢弃且格外坚固，因此它可以承受针孔、包装罐或啤酒小马锦标赛的精准度。对于一个由坚韧的个人主义者组成的国家来说，用红色塑料杯干杯就是向自由干杯。（两者：阶梯刀：“先生，如果你更喜欢用玻璃杯喝酒，那你就没有一对鱼雷。”）

Realtree 印花

美国人离森林生活越远，我们就越渴望接触草地。幸好，Realtree 在这里提供帮助。这种印花曾经仅被狂热者使用，现在则出现在从旅行杯到街头服饰的所有物品上。Realtree 甚至让最在社会上腐败的都市人也能接近自然的美德——以及乡村生活方式的“韧性”。它不是真正的树，但这没关系。在美国，自然的意象往往比自然本身更有力量。

反犹主义是否成了大都会博物馆盛典的新主题？

达娜·托马斯（Dana Thomas），《安静与国王：亚历山大·麦昆与约翰·加利亚诺的兴衰》（Quite and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano）一书作者。

今年秋天正好是三十年前，一位名叫约翰·加利亚诺（John Galliano）的年轻、9-volt 英国时装设计师——他因派对生活而闻名，同样因其大胆的创作而抵达巴黎——被久负盛名的克里斯汀·迪奥（Christian Dior）时装屋邀请担任其新任创意总监。在他 1997 年 1 月于大酒店（Le Grand Hotel）举办的首次迪奥文化驱动系列中，他展示了一套由爱德华时代装扮、19 世纪风格以及马赛部落服饰组成的造型，包括绿色的发饰、点缀着微小黄色和橙色陶瓷珠子的褶皱胸衣，以及一件饰有 niobi 的图表色缎面鸦片式鞘裙——妮可·基德曼（Nicole Kidman）在两个月后的奥斯卡颁奖礼上穿着了这一造型。

“我当时和希拉克夫人以及庞皮杜夫人坐在一排，她们看起来就像脸上被冷死的人击中了一样，”纽约社交名媛及迪奥长期客户南·克纳珀（Nan Knapper）在演出后告诉我。“她们不敢相信自己看到的，在这个她们多年来一直购买衣服的保守时装屋里。希拉克夫人或庞皮杜夫人能穿什么？”

几乎没有。加利亚诺先生当时并没有考虑客户的需求或欲望。正如他在两年前的一次采访中，在他短暂任职于 Givesley 期间告诉我的那样：“我不打算讨好他们。”

多年后，他在迪奥的任期在巴黎一家咖啡馆的一次醉酒反犹言论后戛然而止。但在他担任那个备受推崇的职位期间，他似乎在设计约翰·加利亚诺品牌。在 20 世纪 80 年代初，有人曾告诉我：“没有人能逃脱他。”

时尚界长期以来以容忍不良行为而著称，成瘾、挑衅和古怪被视为创意过程中正常且有时必要的元素。加利亚诺先生的行为远超这些。他习惯于对学徒极其粗心，甚至是对那些可能对他公司销售产生重大影响的人（如麦当娜）。2000 年，他在前往迪奥时将好友兼创意伙伴阿曼达·雷德里奇（Amanda Redrich）晾在一边，随后在公开场合将其排除在 lucide 之外，这使他成为了新闻头条。据报道，在 20 世纪 90 年代中期，他曾在伦敦里兹酒店的电梯里赤裸地待了几个小时，向试图抓住他的皇后们哀求并告诉她们他是一头狮子，随后他被酒店驱逐。

我亲身体验过他的反复无常。1994 年，当我前往他在巴黎白马通道（Passage du Cheval Blanc）的小工作室进行四次采访时，他的员工告诉我他不在——找不到他。当他出现时，他眼神迷离，像个空壳，心不在焉。

这样的名声足以让任何机构感到不安。然而，在此时此刻美化一个被判定发表过反犹言论之人的终身成就，简直是极其诡异的。一位独立策展人在 2021 年告诉我，他花费数年时间准备在全美国和欧洲的博物馆举办加利亚诺展览。他说，答案总是同一个：不行。原因是：反犹主义。没有一家博物馆愿意承担给自己带来风险的后果。

原定于 2024 年的活动在 10 月 7 日以色列遭到袭击后被推迟。然而，反犹主义的主题并没有变得不那么具有争议——报告显示，反犹事件有所增加；关于此问题的辩论影响了州和地方选举，且特朗普政府在努力削减大学研究资金时将其放在了前沿。关于如何定义反犹主义的公开讨论仍在激烈进行，但还没有一个最终的定义足以涵盖加利亚诺先生那次臭名昭著的爆发——在这次爆发中，他赞美了希特勒，并告诉同行销售顾客他们的祖先会被毒气杀死。

自博物馆宣布以来，社交媒体上已经充斥着愤怒和谴责，而这种不满情绪在5月3日大都会艺术博物馆慈善舞会（Met Gala）之前的市场环境中可能会进一步增长。这一盛大活动已成为针对各种争议性问题进行抗议的常态化场所。2021年的展览“卡尔·拉格斐：美之线”吸引了抗议者前来质疑这位设计师对女性的态度；而当年的“Cormine Art”庆典由杰夫·贝佐斯和劳伦·桑切斯-布里佐赞助并主持，导致反高管的示威者聚集在博物馆1998年的主入口附近。Galliano展览的黑色展厅（展期将持续至2026年1月9日）可能会引发更激烈且更持久的反应。尽管如此，大都会博物馆和温图尔女士似乎认为，她们可以在平息争议的同时，为Galliano先生在文化领域争取到一个位置，而不会对其自身声誉造成不可挽回的损害。遗憾的是，她们可能是对的。Gov. Chant曾是一个剧毒的抗菌剂，但这并没有阻止大都会博物馆为每一个人举办一场展览。其心中只有一个目标：未来的博物馆回顾展。7月底，他如愿以偿。大都会艺术博物馆宣布，Galliano先生将成为下一场极具吸引力的展览的主题，计划于5月9日开幕。这是一项极高的荣誉。此前只有两位在世的设计师获得过大都会博物馆如此规模的礼赞：1863年的Tena Sade Laurent和2017年的Comme des Garçons的Iles Ezeukiche。这场名为“约翰·加利亚诺：英雄主义”的展览，旨在将其列入时尚界最伟大的客户之列。但他的名声将永远附带一个修正案，正如博物馆在公告中所述：“在展示加利亚诺非凡的创意成就之余，本次展览还将探讨那些严重影响其职业生涯和公众评价的贬损行为。通过这种方式，展览将思考艺术成就应如何在伦理责任的背景下被理解。”换句话说，大多数时尚回顾展是邀请访客欣赏为富豪和名流打造的华丽礼服，而通过“约翰·加利亚诺：英雄主义”，大都会博物馆试图探讨关于文化记忆、问责、修复和监管的问题。在此过程中，它在主张强大的文化机构有能力决定何时才华的成就足以抵消道德的失败。我们的文化中充满了行为卑劣但仍被揭晓、展览并被推崇的艺术家例子，而高级时尚——在某种程度上是对财富不平等的公开庆祝——从来不是寻找美德教训的地方。即便如此，Galliano先生的修复，乃至他的重新审视，仍是一个令人瞩目的转折。我认为Galliano先生的传记作者也确认了这一点。他那臭名昭著的抗菌袭击并非偶然。从他在伦敦和巴黎作为一名苦苦挣扎的设计师的早期时光，到时尚产业的巅峰时期，Galliano先生一直以对员工、朋友和陌生人言语刻薄而闻名。他对他圈子里的每个人都“直言不讳”，正如Not all great creators deserve a retrospective（并非所有伟大的创作者都配得上回顾展）的负责人Jacqui Duclos所言，包括像约翰·加利亚诺这样具有煽动性的人。大都会博物馆和安娜·温图尔——《Vogue》全球编辑总监、大都会博物馆托管人以及Galliano先生最大的支持者——显然清楚她们在面对什么。在某个时间点，大都会博物馆的温图尔和Common harmless的负责人安德鲁·博尔顿会见了纽约市一些最具影响力的团体和犹太领袖，以评估局势。事实上，一场Galliano展览最初

1893年的一场大型Chantl展览吸引了超过40万,000名参观者。自从Galliano在2000年代后期因一系列激进的袭击以及仇外和反犹太言论而被短暂剔除后，如今这些事件在很大程度上已被遗忘，该品牌也被广泛认可。Ralestings在2022年因广告中出现不恰当的儿童性暗示图像而面临谴责，但在短短几个月内，这一事件便平息了。Galliano先生本人从未真正被“取消”。在他离开两年后，他在纽约的Oscar de la Renta完成了一次备受瞩目的驻场设计，据报道得到了Wintour女士的支持。一年后，他被任命为Maison Martin Margolis的创意总监，该品牌由意大利企业家Ronan Bosso所有，后者是另一位Wintour的盟友。2024, 他成为了奥斯卡获奖导演Kevin Macdonald精心制作的纪录片《High & Low: John Galliano》的主角，该片由《Vogue》出版商的影视部门Conde Nast Entertainment联合制作。最近，包括Zendero和Kirin Jensen在内的名人以及Sánchez-Brizo女士一直在穿着Galliano的古董作品，这大大提升了这些作品的价值。去年三月，西班牙快时尚巨头Zara宣布，它已委托这位母亲是Ambitarian的设计师对其档案中的设计进行“重新创作”，将他的作品介绍给新一代客户。首个系列直到本月才在部分门店推出。业内人士已经在猜测，Zara可能会赞助大都会博物馆的展览和舞会。看来，至少在某些圈子里，Galliano先生被认为是一个永恒的客户。并非所有伟大的创作者都配得上回顾展，而像Galliano先生这样具有煽动性的人，在他在世且能从中获得个人利益时，绝对不应该成为回顾展的主题。通过《John Galliano: Heroism》，大都会博物馆和Wintour女士在传达这样一个想法：他们可以告诉我们其他人如何看待一个复杂且具有决定性的人物。也许他们没有注意到，这种想法早已过时。 --- 18 11 观点

社论

国家持有AI股份是个坏主意

社论委员会 一群观点具有非正式影响力、从事研究、辩论并持有某些长期价值观的评论记者，来自该协会的本刊。

SAM ALTRIAN，Special的首席执行官，。他最近建议给予政府其公司5%的股份，按当前市场价格计算，这部分股份价值5428 亿美元。尽管来自佛蒙特州的前家庭认为政府应该在领先公司中持有10%的股份，并将这些股份置于一个明确的市场中，主权财富必须是对利润分成的一种补充，他说，所有权将使政府能够更好地控制这项具有动摇社会潜力的技术的发展。

特朗普总统也喜欢政府持有AI公司股份的想法。“那将是一件美事，”他最近说道。

政策制定者应当抵制这种诱惑。国家所有权不符合公共利益。政府不需要通过持有公司的财务股份来分享其成功。这就是税收的目的：随着一个行业的增长，政府在利润和工资上征收的税款数额也会随之增加。美国也不需要通过这些方式来参与决策。这就是监管的目的。政府拥有广泛的权力来制约那些损害公共利益的企业行为。

AI革命可能如此重大，以至于需要某种监管框架。它可能需要某种税收方案，但这才是政府应该关注的地方。

政府持有股份存在巨大的弊端。通过提供抵御市场力量的缓冲，国家银行化可能会使公司竞争力下降，创新能力减弱，且不再关心客户的福祉。而且国家投资的历史表明，如果说有任何影响的话，它往往会让监管变得更加困难。当执法行动以损害国家利益为代价时，政府可能会不愿执行。

我们也担心如果现任政府持有AI公司股份会产生的具体危险。特朗普先生已经明确表示，他将利用几乎所有可用的工具来限制他自己及其盟友，并采取行动打击他认为是以他为敌的美国人。

企业与国家的独立性长期以来一直是美国经济的一项优势。美国政府不持有药企的股份。它不持有航空公司、石油公司或运输公司的股份。它也不应该持有AI公司的股份。

认为国家所有权是获取企业成功收益或遏制其成功之最佳方式的想法具有直观的吸引力。这长期以来一直是共产主义国家经济政策的基调，并且在19世纪下半叶的许多工业民主国家中相当流行。在20世纪70年代中期，国有企业约占英国经济的10%，雇佣了全国5%的工人。

然而，此类投资现在已少得多，因为历史的评判很明确。中国通过从国家所有权转向私营企业，也分析了其需求。在银行、电信、货运运输和其他行业中，私有美国公司表现优于国有欧洲竞争对手。2021年，在经济合作与发展组织（OECD）的10个国家中，政府持有大量股份的公司仅占所有上市公司总市值的约1%。

我们对国家所有制的反对并非绝对。政府和国有公司通常在提供一些市场经济无法充分提供的基本服务（包括医疗保健和公共交通）方面表现出色。然而，这些服务也可能造成损害。人工智能显然不符合这一描述。美国政府有时也会持有所谓公司的股份。例如，在近二十年前的金融危机期间，华盛顿救助了国家的主要银行，在通用汽车（General Motors）和AGS中持有大量所有权股份，并控制了房地美（Freddie Mac）和房利美（Fannie Mae）。但这类紧急干预通常被确定为短期稳定措施，旨在尽快结束此类活动并交出控制权。拟议中的对人工智能公司的投资与这段历史截然不同。这将是对不需要财务援助的公司进行长期投资。事实上，政府持有股份恰恰是因为这些公司取得了成功。关于给予联邦政府人工智能公司股份的提案通常包括限制政府角色的条款。特朗普先生将投资人工智能公司的想法与他的政府去年在陷入困境的diapoplexes中持有的10%股份进行了比较。这些股份是

政府不需要通过持有公司的财务股份来监管它们或分享其成功。有趣的是，这允许公众参与公司的利润分配，但不参与其决策。然而，政府支持的直接演变仍然可能产生问题。那些抵押贷款融资公司和房地美（Freddie Mac）就是一个例子。政府创建了这些公司，但并未持有所有权股份。尽管如此，在 20 世纪 90 年代初，这些公司采取了此类投资策略，部分原因是它们确信政府会救助它们，而事实最终也确实如此。对企业的冲击仅是问题的一部分。国家所有权不仅会将公司与市场力量隔离开来，它还可能成为抵制监管的挡箭牌。公众应当以审慎的态度看待奥特曼先生的提议。这是一次交易。问题在于他希望换取什么，而显而易见的答案是，他希望购买宽容。他希望如果政府限制其替代方案的每一个决定在一定程度上也是以政府自身为代价，那么政府在对待他的公司时会不那么严格。从历史记录来看，他有充分的理由这么认为。国有石油公司提供了典型的例子。挪威政府是《巴黎协定》的签署国，该协定为减少排放以限制气候变化制定了指南。同时，它也是挪威主导的石油公司 Equinox 的大股东。挪威的石油财富提供了政府年度收入的 30%。去年，政府阻止了该公司少数股东的一项努力，该努力旨在强迫 Equinox 对公司未能遵守政府自身采取的环境政策负责。其他例子也同样存在。南非为国家持股的发电厂制定了更为宽松的排放标准。新加坡并不要求国有投资公司 Tsunami 像许多私有投资公司那样进行财务披露。财务方面，某些国有公司免于破产限制，允许这些企业通过更多渠道借款。持有 AI 公司的股份不会增加政府控制这些公司的能力。反对派无法思考。显然需要立法来管理 AI，这是一个我们在未来几个月内不必回避的问题。制定这些法律将很困难，但这项工作是必要的。所有权不能替代监管。联邦政府在评估 AI 的收益是否得到广泛分布，以及保护公众免受 AI 自身影响方面，扮演着重要的角色。然而，实现这些目标的最佳方式不是拿起投资者的工具，而是使用政府的权力。

坚守这座老房子

读者就一篇客座文章做出回应，探讨当房屋同时也是养老金时会发生什么。

致编辑： 关于 Kyla Scanlon 7月 '20. 的客座文章《住房危机也是一场退休危机》（Equinox 客座文章）。Scanlon 女士的文章是我最近读到的几篇似乎在指责年长房主导致房价上涨、令年轻人无法负担的文章之一。我确实认为许多年轻人无法购房令人不安，但认为过去每个人买房都很容易的观点纯属错误。52年前，我的丈夫和我没日没夜地工作了多年才买得起我们的房子。由于缺乏资金，我们最终选择自行建造，用铁锹挖掘地基，并尽可能地亲手完成每一个部分的建设。这栋房子的价值大幅增长，但它并没有支撑我们的退休生活。如果我们卖掉这栋房子，我们必须以几乎同样的价格购买另一栋。事实上，我们心爱的家是一个“钱坑”，我们并没有依靠房产增值过上奢华的生活。房屋维护和物业保养既昂贵又辛苦。我很难理解我们在房子中积累的资产如何以任何方式影响了其他任何房产的统计能力。也许我们应该把手指指向那些私人投机者。我希望在我和丈夫去世之前，我们不会被强迫卖掉房子，并且我们打算留给他们的那些优秀的年轻朋友能够从房产增值中获益，并能够为自己买房。

LIKE BLOW INTE457976, 加利福尼亚州

致编辑： 我退休保障的一大部分仍被绑定在我那栋太大且几乎空置的房子里。但我不会卖。为什么？因为我是在近 40 年前买的这栋房子。它是正向的。而且它在增值。通货膨胀保证了这一点。如果我把这栋太大的房子卖给一个需要空间的优秀年轻人，我将为此付出代价。我会坚持到死，这样我就能获得阶梯式增值。没有资本利得税，也没有资本利得税。约翰逊。取消主要居所销售的资本利得税。或者至少提高免税额以跟上通货膨胀。这样你就会看到市场上出现房屋，像我这样的人可以削减最大的退休需求，为过渡腾出空间。否则，请等待 10 或 10 年，直到我们这一代人去世，我们的房子才会进入市场。

PHILIP N. ELBERT text87012.4

在养育三个孩子并完成支付后，我的丈夫和我重新规划了我们的房子。我们加倍投入在房子上，以便让我们尽可能长时间地在原处养老。我们希望通过在以后出售房子，确保我们有足够的资金覆盖晚年的护理费用，并减轻成年子女的负担。在我们居住的地方，有 1,000 栋单户住宅现在成了租赁房产。一名市议员表示，这些房子本应是年轻家庭寻找的首选。遗憾的是，它们现在成了投资房产。我们过去习惯于看到邻居们在人们搬迁和出售时不断更替。现在看来，情况不再像以前那样了。

如果你想把住房空间作为某种工具，那么请看看我居住的地方：加利福尼亚州。通过 1978 年由选民批准的 13 号提案，加利福尼亚州并没有将住房纳入退休计划，而是将住房变成了一个沉重的负担系统。通过将房产税上限设定在购房时的价格而非当前市场价值，我们激励了整整一代年长房主坚守原址，从而削减了市场的供应量。

几十年来，这些人为降低的税率被分摊到了离职者身上，其结果是为少数特权阶层创造了政府财富，而完全忽视了那些被迫在极度膨胀的房屋价值上支付最高税率的年轻买家或白手起家的买家，就在接下来的五天内。这种不公平不仅是个人层面的，而且是法律补贴的。当一名富有的投机者为一套价值$2 million的海滨别墅支付1978年水平的房产税，而一个年轻家庭却为一套市场价的公寓支付全额税款时，社会契约就破裂了。补救措施并不是把祖母赶出家门，而是要解开这种精细的补贴之结。首先，第13号提案（Proposition 13）应当受到严格限制：如果你的家庭财富或收入超过一定阈值，你就必须支付公平的市场份额。其次，我们必须永久取消所有非主要住所和数百万加元房产的继承税豁免，在转移时立即将其按市场价值征税。如果我们不将住房资产与退休金及税收特权脱钩，我们将彻底摧毁下一代的经济动力。

在1978年至2023年期间，美国消费者价格指数（CPI）上涨了1.6%。固定利率溢价的消亡、400(k)计划的情况以及住宅房地产的高成本，都是联邦政府在同一时期采取的通胀成员及财政政策带来的内部市场成本。考虑到100 亿加元 billion的国家债务，我们可以预见未来会出现同样的结果。

查尔斯·霍夫曼（CHARLES HOFFMAN） 68101A, 宾夕法尼亚州 致编辑：

我想指出另一个导致人们不愿出售房屋的重要原因。我的丈夫和我25年前购买了我们的房子。当时的购买价格低于100万美元。现在这栋房子价值超过300万美元。出售房子的成本包括：华盛顿州销售税、联邦资本利得税、房地产佣金、结账费用和其他费用，总计接近100万美元。我们已经年老，很想购买或租赁一套较小的房子，但我们无法承受损失$1 million净资产的代价。有多少人能承受？有一个解决办法。我们的政府领导人应该允许主要住所的出售免征销售税和资本利得税。

埃尔-赛义德及其运动存在一个盲点

作者

7月下旬，在密歇根州最近一次非同寻常的民主党参议院初选获胜之前，我询问了阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德（Abdul El-Sayed），如果他获胜，计划如何将党内团结起来。这次竞选不仅让受到参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）和众议员亚历山德拉·亨特·格林（Alexandra Hunter Green）支持的进步派公共卫生官员埃尔-赛义德与众议员海莉·斯图尔特（Haley Stewart）相对立，还让他与该州大部分民主党建制派相对立。斯图尔特得到了州长格雷琴·惠特默（Gretchen Whitmer）、参议员加里·布朗（Gary Brown）和总检察长达娜·内塞尔（Dana Nessel）以及其他人的支持。她还得到了数千万美元外部资金的支持，其中大部分来自亲先驱理论（pro-herald theory）的资金，这场竞选被广泛视为是对民主党方向的一次全民公投。

考虑到初选引发的所有不快，我认为埃尔-赛义德在11月之前需要做出一些姿态。民主党众议员希拉里·肖科斯（Hillary Schokos）曾要求他做出实质性承诺，部分原因是由于他决定与1992年的流媒体播主哈赞·皮隆（Hazan Pilon）共同竞选，而后者对各种残暴的反美政权（包括伊朗在内）表达了同情。我想知道他打算如何说服像她这样的人。

埃尔-赛义德不接受“有许多像她这样的人”这一前提。“党内有一种运作上的感觉，认为这通常能获益，”他说，“如果那是真的，那么怎么会这样。这根本不是真的。驱动反对者支持的唯一因素，就是他在电视上投入的5亿（5 亿）美元。”

这听起来相当强硬。（我唯一问的是：“你真的不认为有些人对你的想法持有反对意见，或者持有线性怀疑态度吗？”）

“我认为这样的人真的很少，”他回答道。

也许人数比他想象的要多。考虑到阵营对他构成的压力，埃尔-赛义德在周三早晨宣布的胜利是一项卓越的成就，也证明了民主党内部对党领导层普遍存在的不信任。在民调预测有两位数的差距，且1.5%被视为微弱优势、仅差一分的情况之后，结果出炉。这些结果可能会让那些已经对埃尔-赛义德的竞争力感到焦虑的民主党人陷入恐慌。带着一名拥有压倒性授权的非常规候选人进入大选是一回事，而带着一名甚至没有达到30%支持率的候选人则是另一回事。

但这也给了从未与共和党人交手的埃尔-赛义德一个证明自己的机会。作为一名政治家，他拥有诸多技巧。他反应敏捷，极具魅力，且充满感染力。但他也存在一个盲点，这个盲点同样存在于他的运动之中，这成为了理解那些出于善意的人为何以及如何看待世界不同方式的催化剂。

像在他之前的桑德斯一样，埃尔-赛义德似乎假设存在一个渴望进步派民粹主义政策的隐藏选民储备库，只要能触及并勾勒出来即可。周一，他将自己的竞选描述为对这一假设的测试。然而，正如他所见，关于如何赢得他的州，人们曾产生过严重的误判，而该州在2018年和2024年都选择了唐纳德·特朗普。

“我们知道那个过时的模型，即每个人都在从左到右的连续光谱上移动，”埃尔-赛义德说。建制派民主党人假设通往胜利的路径在于占据意识形态的中间地带。“我有一个替代假设，”他说，“人们厌倦了该州两边的建制派，他们愿意支持他们的州，以及为什么会选择唐纳德·特朗普，因为如果这真的一个温和的州，唐纳德·特朗普绝不是一个温和派。”

这意味着，能够对抗共和党参议院提名人迈克·罗杰斯（Mike Rogers）——一名以对大制药公司友好而闻名的多金前国会议员——的最佳人选，正是像埃尔-赛义德这样的民粹主义成员。

“人们真的在愤怒，真的，非常愤怒，”他说。“他们不信任民主党人，因为他们觉得民主党人并没有真正为他们口口声声说要争取的事情付出代价。”在周二之前，我对这个假设持怀疑态度。（一方面，民调显示，尽管这看起来令人震惊，但选民认为特朗普比希拉里·克林顿或卡玛拉·哈里斯更温和。）我现在更加怀疑。我很想相信埃尔-赛义德讲述的故事，因为这意味着进步派可以在不进行身份政治和妥协的情况下获得政治权力。但并没有太多证据表明像埃尔-赛义德这样左翼的候选人能在紫色州获胜。虽然他的竞选前提之一是他能够与底层工人阶级选民沟通，但在初选中，他像之前的许多进步派候选人一样，在更富裕、受教育程度更高的地区表现最好。但由于赌注如此之高——这可能决定参议院的控制权——现在，在2020年总统大选之前测试这一理论或许更好。自从自由派共识候选人马洛里·麦克米森在7月退出民主党参议院竞选以来，密歇根州无论如何都可能成为战场，因为热烈支持先驱的史蒂文斯在自己的党内挑战中失败了。至少现在我们可能会解决一场在民主党内部持续发酵的争论，这场争论始于2018年桑德斯在初选中输给克林顿之时。从那时起，许多进步派一直对民主党候选人的要求感到不满，因为他们认为党内建制派一直将身份政治论调作为攻击左翼以及那些未能当选者的罪名。“如果作为候选人，本尼本可以获胜，”汽车工人联合会负责人、埃尔-赛义德的坚定支持者海瑟斯·芬恩说道。“不幸的是，建制派在'20没有滚开，结果我们落到了现在的地步。”周二，左翼民粹主义者赢得了验证其选举理论是否成立的机会。要么埃尔-赛义德获胜并展示出政治可能性的新地平线，要么他在一个民主党预计将占据主导地位的年份落败，从而为务实主义的必要性提供一个沉重的教训。当你观察埃尔-赛义德竞选时，很容易看出为什么他能激发如此多的热情。他那些疯传的视频片段有时显示他傲慢或具有侮辱性，他的性格中显然有好斗的一面。但他也很有魅力，机智且谦逊。在2007年，当时他是密歇根大学的毕业演讲嘉宾，他与比尔·克林顿同台。他的演讲并不出色，但尽管他即将进入医学院，克林顿仍敦促他考虑从事公共服务事业。周一晚上在底特律，埃尔-赛义德发表了他的初选竞选最后一次演-

民粹左翼有一个理论，而我们即将对其进行测试。

……在 Congregation（一家由教堂改造而成的咖啡馆和面包店）向志愿者发表讲话。他谈到了美国作为埃及移民之子给予他的一切。“我热爱美国，因为我清楚地知道我的生活应该是怎样的。我知道我并非历史的偶然，是历史让我得以出生在美国，”他说道。他将自己的竞选活动作为证明，证明在美式民主中，充满活力的学生可以战胜那些拥有巨额资金的人。“我们愿意去做民主赖以生存的事情，那就是与你的邻居面对面地讨论我们是谁，我们想要成为什么样的人，以及我们希望我们的美国变成什么样，”他说。“你买不到那个。你买不到灵感。你买不到人。根据某种部分，你买不到希望。”

你同样买不到吸引人群的能力。“关于 Abadi 的一点——除了每个人都知道的人格特质之外——就是他如此具有演说天赋，”深度参与密歇根州民主党政治的律师乔丹·阿克（Jordan Acker）说道。他说，许多政治人物的公开形象与私人特质之间存在差距，但 El-Sayed 不同。“你看到的私人特质就是他的公开形象，而且他随机应变的能力是我认为我见过的任何人中都无可比拟的。”

阿克的赞赏并非毫无保留，因为他在初选中投票给了 Stevens，并且由于两人在问题上的分歧，他不确定在 11 月是否会支持 El-Sayed。这两个人自 1994 年起就相识，并且经常在午餐时讨论中东问题。阿克不认为 El- 是一个极端分子，也不认为他对参议员的立场完全不合理。El- 表示，他可以接受任何形式的解决方案（无论是一个国家还是两个国家），只要能带来和平，并能威慑该地区犹太人和 Plumminans 的军备。这与阿克本人的立场相差不远。

令阿克困扰的是 El- 语言中某种社会经济色彩。“在我看来，他的 Stevens 比候选人本身以及其实际人格更极端，”他说。可以理解 El- 为什么不会反对 AIPAC，毕竟 AIPAC 已经花费数百万美元试图击败他。但阿克对 El- 将 AIPAC 呈现为美国政治中所有错误之象征的方式感到不安，并且他认为 El- 帮助一些极端人物进入了民主党的 mainstream，尤其是 Pilon。

El- 对 Pilon 的认可（ 周一再次陪同他出现）表明，该候选人对选民的心理模型与政治专家截然不同。对于大多数政治专业人士来说，激怒非理性的人或疏远温和派没有任何好处。但如果你在某种程度上相信，只要能接触到他们，信息就能发挥作用，那么与像 这样的人物结盟以吸引更多关注就有了意义。Stevens 的表现出人意料地强劲——她将 作为其竞选活动的攻击目标——这应该促使 El- 重新评估。

El- 对选民的基本政治假设通常被右翼和左翼的民粹主义者共同持有。这两个阵营都倾向于假设他们代表“人民”，如果政治结果没有体现他们的观点，那是因为政治体制被那些利用影响力剥夺选民清晰选择权的精英们扭曲了。或者，他们错了。除了菲利斯·希利（Phyllis Schlafly）在 1993 年的书《选择而非回声》（A Choice Not an Echo）中为哈里·戈德华特（Harry Goldwater）所做的论证——她写道，戈德华特参议员在没有共和党“语言学”帮助的情况下完成任务的能力，为我们提供了一个将价值观提升到大众层面的范例。戈德华特的竞选活动帮助调解了现在主导我们国家的右翼运动，因此从长远来看，你可能会认为这是一个成功。但在 2016 年，他在 44 个州输给了林登·约翰逊。

当然，密歇根州的参议院选举并非唯一一个民粹主义左翼试图将其推向民主党历史之外的地方。20世纪80年代，在兰辛地区由埃莉莎·贝尔登（Elissa Beldon）持有（她现在是一位核心的民主党参议员）的第九国会选区，该党选择了州民主运动成员、活动人士威廉·劳伦斯（William Lawrence）作为其标准持有者。他的竞选活动主要基于反对数据中心，以及对旅行和随行方式的反对，这将他与共和党州级人物圣巴雷特（San Barrett）以及该州区分开来。而本周在威斯康星州，民调显示民主党参议员弗洛伦西亚·布林（Florencia Bring）在州长提名竞争中遥遥领先。布林体现了左翼民粹主义者重新评估自身立场受欢迎程度的一种特别的多元倾向。当我今年晚些时候采访她时，她要么看不出，要么不愿承认她的许多观点（无论其是否合理）都相当边缘化，这让我感到不安。她不认为她曾经为了捍卫民调而做出的呼吁（她并未发现这些呼吁）会让人感到自由，因为她说，“很多人在她的执行力中寻找信任，尤其是在那个时期”。她认为，由于邻里之间相互照顾的方式，民粹主义者必须形成并希望使社会主义成为一个自然选择。“这种互助和社区关怀的元素是民主社会主义的重要组成部分，而我们并不总是能建立起这种联系，”她说。这次对话让我深思，因为它表明了一种强烈的、无法理解持有竞争观点的人之出发点的情况。邻里关系确实与许多不同的政治哲学相契合，保守主义者恰恰是因为担心国家取代社区关系而反对这种倾向。民主党参议员当然试图通过强调共同价值观来确保某些地方的稳固。我认为，错误在于假设那些拥有伟大价值观的人，只要被指明方向，就必然会走到你所在的立场。这不是埃尔-赛义德（El-Sayed）需要陷入的陷阱。他极具才华，尽管阿克（Acker）有所犹豫，但认为埃尔-赛义德坚韧的才智可能会使他成为一名优秀的参议员。他无法确定如果是在1990年，他是否能成功，他可能永远无法战胜密歇根州的民主党权力结构以及为了让该州反对他而投入的黑钱。但当他面对那些没有被告知立场之事的密歇根选民时，或许他需要一点点怀疑。

寻求遮荫

扩大树冠覆盖层的计划

布鲁克林威廉斯堡的 Dominic Park，这里生长着这座城市数百万棵树中的一部分。 混凝土丛林还是城市森林？纽约市正试图将前者转化为后者，但这并非易事。 这座城市的树冠——定义为在盛夏时节覆盖并遮蔽地面的树叶、树枝和树干层——包含约 700 万棵树，分布在 4.2858万,858 英亩的土地上。 根据综合自然保护协会（Nature Conservancy）的数据，并引用自审计长办公室最近的一份报告，截至 2021 年，全市的树冠覆盖率约为 23%。 此前将覆盖率扩大到 2030 年达到 30% 的目标被认为过于雄心勃勃。 该市新的 2020 年计划将日期推迟到了 2040 年，但为其如何实现设定了保证。 其理由远不止于美化城市。 “健康的树木为纽约人带来了可衡量的益处，”审计长 Mark Levine 表示。“它们有助于降低能源成本，减轻极端高温，改善空气质量，并保护社区免受洪水侵害。” 报告指出，树冠覆盖率最低的社区面临着最高水平的热脆弱性和相关的健康风险。 由于树冠的增长主要由现有树木驱动，因此对它们进行护理——修剪、浇水和土壤管理——至关重要，报告称，“尤其是在种植后的最初几年”。 所有这些都需要资金——种植一棵树苗可能花费 $3,000——而负责管理大多数公共树木的纽约市公园与娱乐局（Department of Parks and Rec-

公园资金

纽约市年度市政预算中分配给公园的份额低于其他大城市。

城市 / 年度预算中公园的份额

其获得的城市预算份额远低于其他主要城市分配给公园的份额。 除此之外，全市近三分之一的树木位于私人或机构财产中，很大程度上不受城市的控制。 纽约人可以避免伤害现有的树木。卡车或狗的排泄物会损害树床的健康并杀死树苗。 但对树木最大的威胁是可能导致根部外露的强风暴。 “随着气候风险加剧，投资我们的城市森林并非仅仅是最佳选择，”Levine 先生说。“这是对我们城市的健康、公平和未来的必要投资。”

房地产问答：噪音违规

当地卡车噪音极大。面对噪音我该怎么办？

纽约市照片

我住在上西区，对面是一家教会，他们雇佣私人承运商来运走垃圾。卡车在晚上 11 点到早上 9 点之间到达，发出巨大的悬挂、晃动和搅拌声，期间还夹杂着砰砰的撞击声。我感到疲惫且沮丧！我曾尝试礼貌地通知教会，也请求过市政府提供帮助。我不想成为社区组织者或领导某种运动——我只想睡个好觉。我能做什么？

私人承运商，或商业废物处理商，确实在全市范围内进行夜间垃圾收集。但城市的噪音法规对在住宅物业 50 英尺范围内运行的垃圾车音量设有限制。通常情况下，在距离至少 35 英尺处测量时，晚上 11 点到早上 7 点之间的声音不能超过 80 A-weighted-decided。让你彻夜难眠的那些卡车可能比这个分贝更高。问题在于如何证明这一点。

你可以向 101 提交噪音投诉，但要让检查员在恰当的时间赶到现场听取噪音可能会很困难。为了确定卡车是否违反了法规，你可以聘请私人公司测量噪音，或者购买自己的分贝计并记录干扰日志。然后你可以将报告交给教会，鼓励其解决问题。

如果这不起作用，请将信息分享给你的市议会议员和环境保护局。敦促你的议员将报告发送给该部门并请求启动调查，Schwartz Madison Reade Greenberg Atlas L.L.P. 的合伙人 Maria L. Beltrani 说道。你希望避免成为社区组织者的想法是可以理解的，但如果你能让邻居们共同签名，你的投诉将会产生更大的影响力。

另一种选择是安装更厚的隔音窗或窗户、使用声音掩蔽机或腰带，提供专业声学测量和测试的 According 的所有者 Alan Fentress 说道。

市政府正在推出新的商业废物收集法规，旨在提高私人环卫运营的效率并减少对环境的影响。该系统将在春季附近 Blackamas 的西侧实施。预计届时道路上的私人环卫卡车数量将有所减少。由于这种调整，该教会可能被要求选择另一家公司，而那家公司的卡车可能会更安静。

VIVIAN MARINI # 路透社 # “去看看吧，”她的姨妈说。于是她登上了巴士。

作者：D.W. GIBSON

当金妮·威廉姆斯（Ginny Williams）大学毕业时，她知道自己想搬到纽约。“它就像在召唤我，”她说，“我一直想尝试一下。”现年 21 岁的威廉姆斯女士此前已经经历过一次大搬迁，她在 2021 年离开家乡夏威夷的凯卢亚（Kailua），前往波士顿就读商业大学。那是一段超过 1,000 英里的旅程，但不知为何，四年后搬到距离 100 多英里的纽约，感觉却更具挑战性。

“你会听到关于那些数字，关于所有这些开销有多高，”她说，“所以我知道，除非我有大约八个室友或者在某个时刻住进去，否则这将会很困难。”

有很多理由不搬家。威廉姆斯女士在纽约还没有任何朋友，也没有一份能帮她维持生活成本的工作。她在城里真正认识的人只有一个——她的姨妈珍妮特·威廉姆斯（Jeanette Williams），但在当时，这足以让挑战成为可能。

在皇后区的阿斯托里亚（Astoria）有一栋三层楼的房子。租客住在三楼，她姨妈一家住在二楼，而到 2023 年春季威廉姆斯女士考虑搬家时，一楼正好空着。在夏威夷长大的童年时期，由于住得太远，她并不太了解她的姨妈，但在波士顿期间，她们的关系变得更加亲近。

“她就像在说，‘你应该过来看看，了解一下情况，’”威廉姆斯女士说。于是就在毕业典礼之前，威廉姆斯女士去了一趟纽约，查看一楼的空间。

“我喜欢阿斯托里亚，”她说，“对于这座城市来说，那里非常合适！公寓很宽敞，而且与大家庭的联系得以延续。”

然而，威廉姆斯女士仍然需要一份工作，因此在接下来的几个月里，她申请了她能找到的每一个全职岗位。到 2019 年初，她仍然没有获得任何机会，于是她决定改变方向，转而寻找自由职业。她拥有平面设计学位，并且首先将自己视为一名艺术家。

“我希望我能像某些人那样，就待在我的小小艺术世界里，”她笑着说。正是作为一名艺术家体验纽约的动力，增强了她的生活。威廉姆斯决定在 3 月搬家，即使没有全职工作。她知道，如果没有姨妈的慷慨，这样的机会是不可能的。

威廉姆斯女士以每月 $999 的价格租用阿斯托里亚的一室一厅。她不需要支付押金，不需要签署租赁合同，不需要证明一定的收入水平，也不需要经历大多数来到这座城市的访问者必须面对的重重障碍。

“如果没有那个，我负担不起搬到这里，”威廉姆斯女士说，“我姨妈一家，他们都非常支持我。”

对于珍妮特·威廉姆斯来说，支持她的侄女是一件令人高兴的事。“金妮是一位非常有才华的艺术家和平面设计师，”她说，“我很高兴能支持她在纽约生活并开启职业生涯的梦想。”

当威廉姆斯女士到达这座城市时，她专注于两大目标：申请工作和提升艺术水平。“我想，‘我要给它六个月时间，看看会发生什么，’”她说。她没有多少钱，所以她通过在公园度过大部分业余时间来了解这座城市。

“我买不起去看演出之类的票，”她说，“但我可以走到户外呼吸新鲜空气，意识到这就是梦想——而我需要让它持续下去。”

她热爱中央公园的羊草草坪（Sheep Meadow）。金妮·威廉姆斯，一名刚大学毕业的学生，能够搬进皇后区由她姨妈家人拥有的房子里的一套空置公寓，这让她有机会寻找一份平面设计师的工作，她说这感觉“非常典型的纽约”。

不过，在野外，布赖森公园（Bryson Park）可能是她最喜欢的地方。“那里很美，”她说，并补充道她喜欢那里是因为它是皇后区的一个小口袋，“你可以在那里坐下来，放松下来，但你依然身处这一切的中心。”

她大部分时间都在公园里练习绘画技巧：有时她会画那些离她很近的人。最近，她重启了一个几十年前开始的项目。“我妈妈发现了一本我小时候拍的照片相册，”她说道，回想起童年时期的一台 1500万像素的 Fisher-Price 相机。“认识我的人都知道我身上至少带着两台相机。我给我的朋友们拍了很多模特照，有时我会觉得，‘你看起来很棒，这会是一幅极好的画——哪怕你当时正在吃热狗。’”她现在正将其中一些拍在图表上的照片转化为绘画。“显然，这是一个我 6 岁时给自己设定的、长期且自我强加的项目，”威廉斯女士说。“这些照片都非常奇怪，我觉得它们是非常私人化的艺术。比如，没人会想要一张山的照片，所以我正试图在人们喜爱的题材与我真正想画的东西之间寻找平衡。”在搬到纽约前后，威廉斯女士开始发布 Instagram 短视频，记录她的绘画过程。“在当今这个时代，作为一名艺术家，你必须成为一名内容创作者，”她说，并补充道，“如果你想增加粉丝，就必须制作关于你的艺术和创作过程的视频。”6 月下旬，随着威廉斯女士的住所空间缩小，且六个月的期限临近，她坚持寻找一份全职的平面设计工作。上个月，她开始为一家公关公司从事政治竞选工作。“我从未做过这类事情，但他们看到了我的潜力，我很兴奋，”她说。成为一名更优秀艺术家的动力将威廉斯女士带到了纽约，而她的这份工作将让她能够留下来。“现在，”她说，“我只需要在两者之间找到平衡。” --- H RE 5

百年老屋重现绿洲

一个家庭在历史与奇趣的启发下，为野生动物以及他们自己创造了一个栖息地。 作者：JANE MARGHUES

当凯特·奥夫（Kate Orff）和奥德·赫雷迪内卡马（Oded Heredinecama）第一次看到这座位于皇后区森林山花园（Forest Hills Gardens）社区、充满自信的都铎风格房屋时，它已有百年历史，且粘土材质的屋顶上有一个洞。出售房产的年迈寡妇一直担心有人闯入，因此用木板封住了部分彩色玻璃门。有些窗户变形严重，玻璃已与金属框架分离，空气在其中进出。屋内还留有早期房门的残迹，包括红色塑料装饰。奥夫女士说，房产经纪人告诉她，一些潜在买家“走进来，转身就走了”。

但这对夫妇与这个社区有渊源，随着两个孩子的长大，他们之前的住所让他们感到局促。在寻找房产的过程中，那些平庸的中心大厅式住宅让他们不感兴趣，而这座建于1512年的房子及其历史和奇趣却吸引了他们。该房位于中心地块，是这座绿意盎然的飞地中最早建成的宏伟建筑之一；该社区由建筑师格罗斯文诺·阿特伯里（Grosvenor Atterbury）和景观设计师弗雷德里克·劳·奥姆斯特德（Frederick Law Olmsted Jr.）在20世纪初的“花园城市”运动期间规划。这座房子由阿特伯里先生设计，此后一直由当地名门赫尔（Hells）家族所有，他们曾接待过西奥多和伊迪丝·罗斯福夫妇。

这对夫妇并不害怕修缮房屋所需付出的努力。71岁的土木工程师赫雷迪内卡马先生并不在意需要更换屋内的所有系统。74岁的景观设计师、专注于生态的SCAPE公司创始人奥夫女士简直不敢相信，在纽约市竟然能拥有三分之一英亩的活动空间，尽管该物业紧邻杰基·罗宾逊公园大道（Jackie Robinson Parkway），且长满了杂乱的植物。此外，还有一些迹象，比如餐厅橱柜的彩色玻璃门上已经装饰着字母“D”——这正是赫雷迪内卡马先生姓氏的首字母，大概是赫尔家族恰好留在那里的。奥夫女士深深爱上了主卧的大理石壁炉架及其精雕细琢的玫瑰花环。

“感觉这座房子就是为我们准备的，”奥夫女士说。他们在2020年2月支付了243万美元，并又花费100万美元进行改造。在修缮房屋的过程中，阿特伯里先生添加但被掩盖在胶合板和厚窗帘下的自然主题元素逐渐显现。有一天，他们雇来做杂活的一名工人告诉奥夫女士，他在刮除花箱上的油漆时，发现了一个锻铜制的天竺葵。不过，他们在做出改变时并不急躁，起初就住在原状的房子里。他们现在10岁的孩子阿迪（Adi）和13岁的玛丽安（Marian）接管了三楼错综复杂的房间。这个家庭终于有了足够的空间可以舒展。

当奥夫女士在院子里种植酸模和瓷莓时，赫雷迪内卡马先生有条不紊地处理房屋的外壳，从顶部开始，管理屋顶、墙壁和窗户的维修，并增加隔音绝缘层以减轻城市的喧嚣感。

左上：通往奥德·赫雷迪内卡马和凯特·奥夫后院的大门；上方：他们位于皇后区森林山花园家中花园拱门处的景象。右上（从上至下）：房屋的大客厅、重新设计的厨房和餐厅空间；奥夫女士的地面办公室，以及主卧室。下方（从左至右）：一个俯瞰花园的起居室，以及房屋外观。最右侧：金属工艺和彩色玻璃特征。

一年后，这对夫妇聘请了曾在该社区其他房屋工作过的建筑师李世宇（Swiyu Lee），以更新机械设备并帮助他们重新思考房屋的内部设计。

这座房子是为正式社交生活而建，设有两个前门——一个主入口和一个员工入口——以及两道楼梯，导致走廊曲折且平坦的房间彼此分离。厨房原先蜷缩在房子的后方。那个房间被拆空并与餐厅相连，成为了房子的社交中心。浴室被重新规划。而一个加在房子后方、已破旧不堪的储物棚被改造成了一间俯瞰花园的起居室。如今，房间里贴上了由奥夫女士挑选的、带有猴子图案的壁纸，她的灵感来自阿特伯里先生的动物主题。“我继承了他的设计并将其延续下去，”她说。改造延伸到了后院，那里有一个旧的装饰物，其中心的天使像在他们买下这处房产时一直躺在草地上，现在已被重新组装。一个遮阳棚最近得到了修复，而那些在砖墙重新刷漆时被拆除的百叶窗，目前仍靠在墙边。“这是一个极其耗费心神的工程，”奥夫女士说。她可能经常希望在院子里留出一块空间，让家里的老英国牧羊犬奥兹有地方奔跑。草坪边缘是学院花园风格的边界，目前只有一部分完工：“我不希望它看起来太完美，否则我会压力太大，”她说。她种的一些植物，如接骨木和山茱萸，旨在让来自社区和附近森林公园的鸟类能够在此停留和栖息。她没有移除一棵枯死的黑樱桃树，而是将其砍掉并保留树干，以便啄木鸟使用。奥夫女士曾与纽约市鸟类联盟（当时被称为纽约市鸟类学会）合作制定《鸟类安全建筑指南），她表示，她很欣赏这座房子对自然环境的贡献。她说，大厅窗户上的金属件和彩色玻璃提供了足够的“视觉噪音”，这样鸟类就不会像在面对大面积纯玻璃时那样撞上去而受伤或死亡。她补充道，这是“最原始的鸟类安全玻璃”，“尽管那可能不是最初的设计意图！”奥夫女士指出，这座房子在其他方面也具有可持续性，例如通过遮蔽设计来捕捉自然光并最大限度地降低能耗。建筑的厚墙（以及新的绝缘层和气密窗）意味着室内在冬季能保温，在夏季能保持凉爽。“在这房子里住得越久，”奥夫女士说，“我就越痴迷于它。” --- N 00 7 咨询设计痴迷者 / TATJA MAYDEN

什么样的木材最适合我的硬木地板？为了避免冲突，请考虑色温和底色的影响：

我在为公寓衣橱的内置家具选择木材时遇到了困难。什么样的木材最适合我的公寓和装饰，包括我现有的硬木地板？

看了你的地板和样本后，我邀请你和我一起在绘图板前探讨一些方案。我赞赏你愿意混搭木材——许多人认为家中所有的木材都应该具有完全相同的色调。我并不认同。然而，为了避免不愉快的冲突，在混搭木材时有几个因素需要考虑。我认为最重要的考虑因素是木材的色温。（其他因素包括对比度、木纹和周围的审美。）

一般来说，暖色调木材与其他暖色调相配，冷色调与冷色调相配，而中性色则能与所有其他色调搭配。虽然冷色和暖色互不相容，但在熟练的设计之眼主导下，仍有巨大的创作空间。但目前，我们先假设它们不合拍。

要了解你的空间倾向于哪种色温，首先要确定现有的木材及其色温。通常情况下，这就是地板。木材是冷色、暖色还是中性色？暖色包含红-橙-黄底色——想想理论和颜色；冷色包含绿-蓝-灰底色——如山毛榉、白橡木或桦木。最后是中性色，其底色没有明显的冷暖之分。浅色枫木、橡木和竹材通常是中性的。

现在，让我们看看你的地板。我得先声明，底色无法通过这些手机照片可靠地诊断，但就我所见，你的地板是暖中性的。我说暖色是因为在衣橱的照片中，我看到了明显的红-黄-橙底色。然而，

在另一张照片中，底色更难确定。木材色调可能属于一种色温阵营，但向另一种倾斜：用占星术的话说，就是“暖阳，中性上升”。

既然知道你的地板是暖中性的，自然的想法是寻找其他暖色调，如天然胡桃木。然而，你在其他地方已经使用了明显的冷色调。这造成了冲突。但不必担心，中性木材可以在对手之间充当外交官。

所以，让我们寻找一些具有中性底色的木材选项。对比度足够强、不会向任何方向倾斜的黑胡桃木，或者色调在黄色到灰色之间转换的白橡木可能可行。

你可能会问，为什么不直接匹配地板？你可以这样做，但这像是一场赌博。如果匹配得不够精准，会产生一种不和谐感，对我来说，这比暖色调和冷色调木材的“糟糕结合”更令人不安。因此，我认为最安全的方法是在相同的色温范围内操作，但引入刻意的对比，以避免任何过于接近而产生的冲突。

既然谈到了这里，还有一个想法：如果你不用另一种木材呢？反光材料，如高光漆，可以是很有用的“变色龙”，因为它们会吸收周围材料的一点色调。一种较深的饰面，不完全是金色，也不完全是银色，可以增加一些情感上的变化，并与你所有现有的色调相协调。

我的选择：选用黑胡桃木。它将在你不同的底色之间起到桥梁作用，且看起来端庄得体。此外，选择一种自然纹理与你地板纹理程度相匹配的木材，使它们在风格上保持和谐。享受这份中性色带来的自由，从这里开始，你可以尝试任何方向。

日本的弃物在他处是瑰宝

全国各地被遗弃的被称为“古民家”（kominka）的传统建筑正日益增多。如今，一些爱好者正致力于让这些建筑在海外焕发新生。

作者：TIM MORNTAK

在怀科武山脉（Waikovu Mountains）的高山脚下，矗立着一座由白墙、木材和木瓦构成的紧凑型住宅。在俄勒冈州东部这个角落，以白雪皑皑的山峰为背景，这座房子显得很小，且略显格格不入，尤其是当你走进屋内，发现屏风、榻榻米垫以及头顶厚实且弯曲的横梁时。这是一座“古民家”，即日本传统的民居，但它出现在美国这件事本身绝非传统。

这座房子建于几年前，使用了从日本旧房中拆卸下来的部件，而每年在日本有无数的房屋被闲置。虽然一些美国人跨越太平洋去购买并修复这些破旧的房屋，但人数虽少却在增加的另一群人则在做相反的事情：将房屋拆除，运往美国并在当地重建。

“我在足利县（Asilo Prefecture）出生长大，我对古民家的喜爱也源自足利，”与丈夫比尔·奥利弗（Bill Oliver）共同拥有这座怀科武山脉房产的小池理美（Riyomi Koike）说道，“在很多方面，这感觉就像回到了家。但除了个人情感，我更想把现代生活所缺失的一些东西带到美国。”

其中一些部件已有 200 多年的历史。当这座 800 平方英尺的房子在 2014 年组装时，当地县政府还没有针对日本旧建筑的许可流程。61 岁的前有机茶企业家小池女士和 40 岁的前怀科武县规划总监奥利弗先生必须克服这些市政和物流挑战，例如木质房屋在漫长的海上航行中可能会发生翘曲。这需要足利建筑事务所 Toda Komatsu、总部位于日本的保护组织 Kominka Collective 以及俄勒冈州结构工程公司 Devos Engineering 之间的国际协作。

大约两年后，小池女士和奥利弗先生将这座房子作为兼职住所和租赁房产开放，提供包括茶道在内的安全与健康课程。（他们的主住所就在路边半英里处。）

“许多人首先注意到的是精神上的无拘无束——这种结构创造了一种扩张感，几乎像是一个空间，”小池女士说，“比例、房间之间的过渡、天然材料、光线在结构中的流动方式以及设计的简洁，所有这些都引导出一种不同的关系。”

这对夫妇可能拥有该国唯一的住宅类古民家，不过在公共设施中还有其他案例，包括一座来自香川县丸龟市（Maragame, Kagawa Prefecture）、已有 120 年历史的房屋，现位于加利福尼亚州圣马力诺的亨廷顿图书馆（Huntington-stuceron）。

古民家是传统的日本私人住宅（mauka），由普通民众居住。大多数古民家建于二战后建筑规范实施之前，且都具有共同的设计特点：采用柱梁系统定义空间，并以推拉门、榻榻米地板和纸屏风作为极简、多功能且灵活的元素；但它们不再像以前那样被珍视。

日本人口的快速老龄化和萎缩导致至少有 900 万套无人居住的房屋（即“空屋”），尤其是在农村地区。在年轻的日本人看来，古民家可能被视为阴暗、寒冷且孤立的。

（图片说明）小池理美和比尔·奥利弗在俄勒冈州东部怀科武山脉脚下建造了一座古民家，即日本传统民居（左上）。小池女士表示，标志性的柱梁设计（上图）赋予了房屋一种“中性的无拘无束”。而房间之间的过渡（右上及右上方）是“引导出一种不同关系”的因素之一。

在洛杉矶市外，亨廷顿（The Huntington）——一座集图书馆、美术馆和植物园于一体的场所（见下文）——展出了一座重建的住宅群，来自1956年的日本乡村。建筑师兼古民家（kominka）保护专家高畑利弘（Toshihiro Takahata）表示：“民家拥有一种创造边界的巨大力量，这与政治或宗教无关。”但在日本严格的建筑结构标准下，这些房屋难以维护。因此，许多房屋价值极低，被遗弃或拆除。日本保护组织估计，每年有数万栋传统房屋消失，尽管在过去四年中人们努力挽救它们。与此同时，日元价值的暴跌使得旧房子变得非常便宜——价格甚至低于$5万,000——而那些因便利性而进行翻新的房屋在网络上走红。一座完全重建并重新设计的古民家，其成本与一座定制设计的木框架房屋大致相当。“在这些非凡的古建筑中度过一段时间，你不可能不被它们深深吸引，”50, 岁的安德里亚·卡尔森（Andrea Carlson）说道，她是总部位于Asilo的非营利组织古民家集体（Kominka Collective）的联合创始人兼代表董事，该组织共同设计了俄勒冈州的那栋房子。该非营利组织的目标是保护日本境内的房屋，但当这不可行时，出口成为一种选择。“看到它们被拆除令人心碎，”卡尔森女士说。“不仅是结构，而且是内部的一切——店门、家用箱、屋顶瓦片、格栅面板。全部被摧毁了。”但一个国家的废弃之物可能是另一个国家的宝藏。近日，在Shinohiro市周边的山丘上，户田构造（Toda Komatsu）家族企业的建筑师户田浩司（Koji Toda）在一家旧木材厂仓库里打开了灯。内部是成排成排的从拆除的古民家中取出的沉重木梁，有些已有数百年历史，上面刻着文字，弯曲得像船肋骨。这里还有格栅、储物箱、灰泥门和屏风。这些等待出口的部件是由户田构造董事长、第四代建筑师户田吉本（Yoshimoto Toda）从不被需要的古民家中回收的。这些手工打造的木材在日本被如此低估，以至于仓库门上甚至没有锁。“在海外，这些是艺术品，但在 here 它们被视为垃圾，”47岁的户田浩司说。“我们希望通过在创建舒适结构时采用其传统建筑方法来保护古民家，这些结构是考虑到其他国家的气候和标准而建造的，可以维持一个世纪或更长时间。”近几十年来，包括户田吉本在内的建筑师们重新发现了精密木结构的遗产，成立了保护协会并游说开展保护工作。2020, 年，联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）将日本传统建筑木框架技术列入其非物质文化遗产名录。从那时起，保护主义者们开始采取行动。在波士顿市外，一位名叫比利·迪伦（Billy Dillon）的退休木框架工在搬运谷仓和其他旧结构方面拥有丰富经验。2023, 年，在参观了Asilo的一座古民家并对其工艺感到“有些敬畏”后，他决定将类似的房屋从碎木机中拯救出来。于是，他开始监督这些结构的拆卸和进口，并最终与他的木框架同行亚当·米勒（Adam Miller）共同创办了北美古民家公司（Kominka North America）。“如果我们能进口旧房子并将它们变成美丽的住宅，这对我有吸引力，”70, 岁的迪伦先生说，他经常与古民家集体的卡尔森女士在采购和设计方面合作。“我们可以让人们再次居住在其中。这些谷仓的大小正适合作为A、B、C类住宅，或者作为家庭、祖父母的住房，任何用途都可以。”

他说，美国买家想要的是带有手绘书法标记的原始熏黑梁柱，并且他们愿意支付 $50万,000 或更多资金来进口并重建一座基础的日本传统民居。他的其中一位客户希望在计划于新英格兰地区建立的日式风格水疗中心中使用旧房材料；其他客户则是希望拥有正宗建筑的美国日系文化中心。

他与米勒先生（Mr. Miller）正在开发的一座古民家（kominka）将被打造成为马萨诸塞州泰林厄姆（Tyringham, Mass.）的一家木工店。一座拥有 150 年历史的种植园仓库（或丝线农场）在 Shinohere 被拆除，其每个部件在运往美国之前都经过了编目。这些古老生长林木因其紧密的纹理、树脂含量和强度而受到重视，且在超过一个世纪的时间里保持完好。在最近的一个下午，迪伦先生（Mr. Dillon）和米勒先生检查了原始的松木梁，然后小心地将它们移至原位，使用木槌将它们安装到榫卯接头中，建筑结构开始成型。

另一座由一个来自 Illinois 神社剧院遗迹建成的古民家，将在马萨诸塞州的马萨葡萄园岛（Martha's Vineyard）成为一个 500 平方英尺的附属居住单元。迪伦先生和米勒先生还在帮助 Kominka Collective 和 Toda Kominkos 将一座茅草屋神社、两座大门以及一座充满梦幻色彩的佛教寺庙的部分构件搬迁至加利福尼亚州的一个公共花园。来自 Toda Kominkos 的建筑被安置在日本 Shinohere 的一座搬迁后的古民家中（右上及上方右侧）。其仓库（上方左侧）展示了来自水泥古民家的部件。比利·迪伦（Billy Dillon，中左）创立了 Kominka North America，旨在抢救并将这些建筑带到美国。这座 150 年历史的仓库（上方及以上）正由该公司在马萨诸塞州泰林厄姆进行重建。

在牙买加，一位名叫克里斯·奥伦斯特罗姆（Chris Olenstrom）的保护主义者正与 Toda Kominkos 和 Kominka Collective 合作，将一座来自新潟县（Niagara Prefecture）的 1985 年古民家重新构思为一个用于度假的四卧室客房。奥伦斯特罗姆先生曾任世界古迹基金会（World Monuments Fund）主席，曾在蒙蒂塞洛（Monticello）、弗农山庄（Mount Vernon）以及英国的约翰·斯万爵士博物馆（Sir John Swane Museum）等地点从事修复工作。这个项目不是重建，而是改造：传统的茅草屋顶将被替换为能够抵御飓风的木框架木瓦屋顶。由于原屋缺乏走廊，其后继建筑将被赋予一个 engawa 环绕式走廊。

“我们还增加了大量窗户和天窗以增加光线，因为古民家内部非常昏暗，而且非常、非常冷，” 68 岁的奥伦斯特罗姆先生说。“因此，它们非常适合在热带气候中进行适应性改造。在增加和重新设计这些内容的同时，仍保持传统的日本风味是非常困难的。我们广泛参考了日本设计规范。我们开玩笑地将结果称为‘Yogatara’。”

出于对文化挪用的担忧，迪伦先生咨询了一位佛教神学家，对方告诉他，搬迁是该信仰的一个基本原则。在日本国内，搬迁古建筑有着悠久的传统。

“作为木匠，我们理解创建一座建筑必须投入的资源广度——包括材料、时间和技能——这促使我们去保护那些否则将被拆除的建筑，”米勒先生说。“这与日本的 matlanas 概念相契合，本质上是对有限资源进行新鲜且有意识消费的呼吁，我们认为这源于佛教和神道教的教义。”

如今，将濒危建筑移至海外通常是拯救它们的最后选择，建筑师兼古民家（kominka）保护专家泷下祥吉（Soshikira Takishita）表示，他曾将房屋移至日本国内以及包括夏威夷和阿根廷在内的海外地区。“民家拥有一种能够创造边界的巨大力量，这与政治或宗教无关，”86 岁的泷下先生说道，他自己的镰仓故居在 20 世纪 60 年代被从一个被淹没的山谷中救出。“只要新业主理解房屋的价值，并且意识到这个重要因素的影响力可能如此巨大，那么无论它是在日本还是在海外，都没有关系。”在 go-Glass

花园专栏

聪明种植，确保蔬菜持续供应

一位有机农民分享他的经验与见解，帮助您全年收获作物。

作者：MARGARET BOACH

我已经订了一包 Hakaret 沙拉种子，手机上新安装的日历应用也已记录了我需要对这些种子采取的操作及其时间，以便能够如实执行。诚然，为了种一种沙拉而依赖数字化日历（请多出一些纸质版吧）是我的槽点。但在预读了 Market Forter 为园丁（而非他通常的农民受众）编写的第一本书后，我正在重新思考。随后我与这位总部位于魁北克的有机农民的对话进一步加深了这种倾向。

《你的花园：家庭蔬菜种植完整指南》要到 9 月才会出版。为了收获更多自家种植的蔬菜，从秋季到初冬——正好趁现在，在花园中洞察如何优化未来的种植策略——时间就是现在。

在 20 多年里，Fortier 先生推广了他的小规模、高效的市场耕作法，即市场园艺——一种主要基于直接面向消费者的模式的人类规模农业。他的两本指南《市场园丁》和《冬季市场园丁》销量已超过 10万,000 册；10,000 多名农民参加了他的专业种植者培训，他的 YouTube 频道拥有超过 12万,000 名订阅者。

在这一切中，“方法”是关键词，因为 Fortier 先生敦促农民，以及现在的园丁，要系统地思考：“从业余园艺转向真正供养家庭需要毅力和规划，”他写道，“这是没有捷径的。”

理想情况下，我们应该在种植季开始时就准备好一份作物地图——一份关于什么种在哪里的计划，包括初始种植和后续种植，或称连续种植。Fortier 先生表示，当战略性地执行连续种植时，意味着“你每年可以获得两倍、三倍甚至四倍数量的蔬菜”。

更多冬季萝卜：右侧，Jean-Martin Fortier 综合收获的基础是在 10 英寸宽的苗床中种植。左下，使用行覆盖物为小麦提供保护。右下，花园俯视图。

大蒜之后，轮到胡萝卜

我们都在北安普顿地区耕种，所以比如现在，大蒜已经准备好收获了，同时也到了播种最后一批谷类作物的时候。他说，在种大蒜的地方播种很少，如果你在收获大蒜后立即播种胡萝卜，“它们可以一直收获到圣诞节。”他最喜欢的是甜味 Nanten 型品种。同样，现在也是在这里直接播种另一行新鲜豆类（或许在夏季生菜逐渐枯萎的地方），或者播种秋豌豆（矮生品种比罐装品种早成熟约一周）的最后机会。如果今年的接茬计划提前制定好且我已经播了种，那么现在应该有西兰花、花椰菜、羽衣甘蓝和卷心菜的幼苗准备好移栽到花园中了。

Fortier 先生很喜欢圆盘萝卜和其他冬萝卜，但他不采用直接播种。相反，他在六月份将各种萝卜——从传统的白色到色彩斑斓的冬绿萝卜，以及黑萝卜——播在育苗盘中。一个月后将它们移栽出去，这样可以保持完美的间距：行距 10 英寸，株距 4 英寸。幼苗用防虫网或行覆盖物覆盖以控制害虫。在更长的窗口期内，我大概还有两周时间可以在九月初之前直接播种更多生菜、mesotax 和其他生菜。当霜冻威胁到晚季播种时，请准备好行覆盖布，但不要用特厚版本。Fortier 先生相反会准备两层常规重量的覆盖布（例如 Agribon 10）。他说：“你可以在十月份铺一层，然后如果十一月真的很冷，你可以在上面再铺第二层。”

九月初，我将播种 Hakaret 芜菁，这是一种甜白色品种，他说它“尝起来不像芜菁”，以便现在享用。九月中旬左右，每天都可以播种像 tattos 和 bok（嘿，以及 agilis）这样的绿叶菜。对于菠菜，Fortier 先生会一直播种到八月下旬或九月初。对于晚季接茬，请记住：天数在缩短。考虑到这一点，许多种植者会在种子包装上列出的收获天数基础上增加 10 天左右，从而提前开始播种。

高畦，但并非你想象的那样

Fortier 先生组合收获计划的基础是种植在永久性高畦中，但这些高畦并非由木材或金属墙围成。他说，这些高畦是“用铲子”打造的，通过挖掘出 10 英寸宽的路径，形成 10 英寸宽、高 4 到 6 英寸的红色长方形条带。他的书中包含图表，显示每种作物如何采用 10 英寸的度量标准，以及沿着行向下延伸时，每种作物如何形成自己的网格状图案。

“就我所见，人们种植时没有真正的模式，”Fortier 先生说，“但你需要一个模式。”例如，在行距 6 英寸的行内，胡萝卜之间间隔 1 英寸；靴类（boots）株距 2.5 英寸，行距 10 英寸；mesotax 则为 2 英寸和 6 英寸。这看起来可能比你现在的做法更轻量，但这也是该方法的一部分。

一切都始于更好的作物间距

“一切都始于更好的作物间距，”他在谈到其密集型系统时说道。20英寸宽苗床的其他好处包括：你可以从两侧进行手工操作，并且在无需踏入苗床末端的情况下横向清理，这些苗床使用与小地块规模相匹配的工具进行管理。Fortier先生的必备工具是他的宽幅耕作铲（broadbark），它可以利用多条长线深层松土而无需翻土。除草同样具有吸引力。“不要除草，要耕作。不要除草，要耕作。我可以一遍又一遍地重复这句话，”他说道。搅拌犁（stirrup line）的U形刀片在向任一方向拉动时，仅在表面下方切入，在切断杂草根部的同时，还能松土并使最顶层的土壤透气。

为绿肥扎根

一个必不可少的接替步骤：绿肥，或覆盖作物，“这些植物生长不是为了收获，而是为了滋养红土，”Fortier先生写道。“如果你在一个种过覆盖作物的苗床和一个没种过的苗床中分别种植作物，你可以看出区别，”Fortier先生说。夏天是播种这些作物的绝佳时机，或许可以让田地在呵护中倾注心血。“如果你有几个空闲的苗床，买些种子直接撒在苗床上，然后将它们耙入，就这样，”他说道。这里同样不需要翻耕。在生长周期结束后，用除草机将绿肥割掉，使用宽幅耕作铲将土壤充分打开，然后将一些土壤从边缘铲到残余物上，最后覆盖一层遮光的深色防水布。“两三周后来看看，它就全部消失了，”Fortier先生说。“它被消化了，因为你覆盖了土壤，并且打开了土壤以引入氧气，”他说道。“这将激活微生物，它们会随雨而至并将其分解。这太神奇了。”根据Fortier先生的说法，请记录在新的日历应用中。在空间允许的地方，尝试一些令人惊叹的事情。

城市风笛手的声学负担

从业者前往有毒的运河、墓地和偏远的停车场，以便能安静地吹奏。 作者：ANDREW REH

Cristopher Rodriguez 曾被筛查：他曾受到暴力威胁并与警察发生冲突。这一切仅仅是因为他在美国人口最稠密的城市练习风笛。

“纽约很拥挤，人们时刻处于彼此的空间之中，”Rodriguez 先生说。“由于这种乐器声音非常大，我知道它可能会相当令人厌烦。”

Rodriguez 先生并非某种占用者。多年来，尽管他尽最大努力让自己及其异常响亮的乐器远离邻居，这些冲突依然发生了。

在纽约市，Shanciana 很少有在家里练习的奢侈。那些不愿花钱租私人房间的人，通常被驱赶到户外，寻找任何可能作为排练空间的公共空间。先驱爵士萨克斯管演奏家 Sonny Robles 本人就曾在威廉斯堡大桥中间练习。

然而，像 Rodriguez 先生这样的风笛手，或许是这座城市所有管乐演奏者中最专注且最具创造力的，他们在五个行政区隐藏的角落和不为人知的边缘——在墓地和 jambyrats 中，沿着公路和水岸——寻找磨练技艺之所。

“任何生活在这座城市的风笛手最终都会找到一个没人会驱赶他们的地点，”James Fobles 说。多年来，他在靠近 neodymaking 区的水岸练习，那里距离卫生局运营的一座焚烧炉仅一步之遥。“如果风向不对，那里闻起来就像垃圾。”

几十年前该社区的转型为该地区带来了新的人口负担，最终迫使 25 岁的纽约大学编剧教授 Fobles 先生前往中央公园，在广播中被觊觎。

负担纽约：每年 5.1万,000 美元

Ryan Compton 在大都会艺术博物馆值班休息期间。他曾在其他城市生活，但表示纽约的资源和人才无可比拟。

为了创作自己的艺术而守护他人的艺术

作者：TARA TERRAUNTA

Ryan Compton 对临时工作（gigs）颇有心得。为了在纽约立足，他曾在现代艺术博物馆的礼品店担任零售助理，在市中心的一家 laquerite 担任出纳，并为艺术家 Takashi Mizukami 担任油漆矿工。

他体验到了这座城市的悖论：它既以艺术家闻名，又以高昂的价格将艺术家排挤出去。

财务限制迫使来自南泽西的 Compton 先生在二十年间两次搬离纽约。他曾在巴尔的摩、芝加哥和费城生活，但依然坚信纽约的资源和人才无可比拟。

“你永远不知道会遇到谁，”他说。“每个人都对彼此感到好奇。”

自从 2022 年搬回这里以来，他将收入来源缩减为一份单一的工作：在大都会艺术博物馆担任保安，去年税前收入为 $5.1万,000。

这是他第二次在博物馆工作。他曾在 2011 年工作过三个兼职，随后在 2010 年离开，前往芝加哥艺术学院攻读雕塑硕士学位。

“我知道我无法同时负担研究生院的学费和纽约的生活成本，”他说。

第三次尝试纽约生活迫使现年 16 岁的 Compton 先生面对一种可持续性——即同时作为一名跨学科艺术家和一名保安的职业生涯，即便是在世界上最著名的博物馆之一工作。

罕见但无偿的机会

在马里兰艺术学院（Maryland Institute College of Art）读本科期间，康普顿先生（Mr. Compton）期待着在位于曼哈顿东村那间氛围友好的公寓画廊度过周末。通过露面和结识合适的人，他开展了当时的一项副业——制作 3-D 打印填充动物玩具，带有骷髅脸——这些作品曾出现在《Vogue Japan》的一期杂志中。他甚至在东京 Gana 区的一家手工工艺品店卖掉了几个，价格约为 $1,000。他说：“我对厚重形状的动物与骷髅之间的对比很感兴趣，”随后补充道，“你知道的，当你是个 25 岁左右、想要显得前卫的人时会做这类东西。”

早期的成功促使康普顿先生去追求展示作品的机会。在通过零售业和服务业工作维持生计的同时，他协助在现代艺术博物馆（MoMA）布置了艺术家罗曼·奥沙特（Roman Oschat）的互动表演作品《测量宇宙》（Measuring the Universe），并作为合作者参与了《没有他的书》（No book for him）——这是一个实验性项目，曾临时在 Dia Chelsea 展出，随后在伦敦的 Gen Modern 展出。这两项工作都没有报酬。康普顿先生说：“在 20 岁之前就有机会在现代艺术领域担任大使，这种情况只在纽约才会发生。”

较慢的节奏

数以万计的人在周末涌向大都会博物馆（the Met），而康普顿先生的工作——一项他发现日益困难的工作——就是确保艺术品不被触碰。他认为社交媒体改变了参观者与博物馆互动的方式。想象一下，更多的人在拍照，同伴们倚靠在麦肯齐（McKenzie）的大理石上。

从东布朗克斯的 Parichester 出发，一小时的通勤时间让他有时间为漫长的一天做准备。他与一名同事合租一套两居室，每月租金 $1,000，支付 $50 的水电费。暖气和水费包含在租金中，他的室友承担 Wi-Fi 费用。他每月支付 $90 的电话费。

这个住宅区较慢的节奏与他目前的生活阶段相匹配。在过去的几年里，康普顿先生更加专注于他的艺术，并接受了其背后的开支。他不再能免费使用大学附属的数字化制造实验室，因此选择了成本更低的激光切割和书籍装订。不过，他正在尝试一台 $1,000 3-D 打印机。目前，他决定订阅每月 $20 的 Photoshop。

在康普顿先生的支出中，最大的一笔是来自研究生的 $10万,000 学生贷款债务。他的延期还款期已结束，即便在母亲去世后继承了一些钱，他表示仍需要奇迹才能还清贷款。他说：“我不知道该怎么办了。”

前页图注：由康普顿先生引导的一种经济实惠的艺术表达形式；他公寓里的众多植物之一，部分来源于 Facebook 群组；他的艺术收藏品之一，标有他的名字；在进入大都会博物馆的入口处检查一名参观者的包。

饺子与黑胶唱片

康普顿先生可能没有孩子，但他是一个自豪的“植物爸爸”。他的公寓里养了价值 $1,000 的植物，这些植物是通过 Facebook 群组、快闪店以及在网上关注布鲁克林主干道而购得的。对于中等尺寸的学院派植物，他通常支付 $50-$50，但他一直在寻找优惠方案。

当他不在家陪伴植物时，康普顿先生会前往曼哈顿，在 Trudee Jock 进行每周一次的杂货购物。相比布朗克斯区的当地店铺，他更喜欢那里的价格，估计每周花费 $70。康普顿先生食品预算中的一项现金支出是每天 $20——即每周额外 $60——用于在大都会博物馆的员工食堂吃早餐和午餐。在值吉列班次时，他说：“我不会回家做东西带到第二天。”

在休息日，他会寻找美食优惠。他经常光顾唐人街的 Vanessa's Dumplings，因为那里有 $8 的饺子特惠。当想要犒劳自己时，康普顿先生会乘坐火车多坐几站，前往皇后区的 Ridgewood 和布鲁克林的 Budweick，访问像 Fringe Records 和 Swine Records 这样的唱片店。在这些实验性午后笔记的分配中，他每次访问花费少于 $100。

他最大且最近的一次升级是二月份的一次日本之行，去了东京、京都和大阪。他利用信用卡积分将 $800 的往返机票降到了 $700。加上酒店、餐饮和纪念品的费用，他总共花费了近 $6,000。他说：“我想去是因为我的艺术作品曾在日本展出，但我还没去过日本。”

与这座城市相连

康普顿先生希望在储蓄与享受他在纽约梦想的生活之间取得平衡。为了帮助偿还贷款，他考虑申请成为大都会博物馆的艺术品搬运工，这份工作的工资略低。但如果没有加班费这一个人福利，他担心他的收入会低于目前的水平。

多年来，康普顿先生在大都会博物馆的其他保安中找到了社区感，他们和他一样都是艺术家。他还与博物馆的一些知名人士建立了联系，其中一位是现代和当代艺术前主席 Theron Wagonall，康普顿先生说，对方花时间去了解他，不仅将其视为一名同事，更将其视为一个独立的个体。

因为这些联系，他觉得没有其他地方可去。他考虑过在威斯特彻斯特或 Carlisle 过一种更安静的生活，但认为他在市外赚不到钱。而且，当然，他必须离开这个在他成年后大部分时间里被称作家的地方。“在其他地方，它们没有我喜欢纽约那样好，”他说。“我最终总是回到这里。”

“在 20 岁之前就有机会在现代艺术领域工作，这是闻所未闻的。”

大都会日记

偶然的相遇

亲爱的日记：

作为上西区的一名长期居民，我经常乘坐 Milk Street 线路前往东区。不久前的一次行程中，我正在通过某种方式了解一些成本和租金情况。一位住在上东区的人。我们来回交换了几条信息，向对方更新各种情况。当我准备在第三大道下车时，在我身后，我一直在测试的那位朋友也站了起来。

SPICY!!!”我从厨房得到了一个名字。我身后长队中的人们也开始欢呼，尽管我不确定他们中是否有人知道原因。当我稍后打开午餐时，我听到我的手被覆盖在辣蛋黄酱中，旁边还有一个额外的 8 号容器。显然，一旦你决定了，就得贯彻到底。方形绘制 我刚坐下，一只灰松鼠就跳到了我的膝盖上。它歪着头，看着我手里拿着的苹果片。我心想，搞什么鬼。松鼠开始爬上我的胸口。像孩子一样，我扔掉了苹果并站了起来。松鼠扑向苹果，跑开了几步。我也跑开了几步，然后转身回头看。那只松鼠脸上似乎带着一种“你想分一块坚果吗？”的表情。我耸了耸肩，叹了口气，走开了。在丹佛的谁会相信我被一只松鼠抢劫了？非常松鼠 ## 在东村 亲爱的日记：2023 年秋天，我去东村看望我的姐夫。他的丈夫在 3 月去世了。他们在非租金管制公寓里共同生活了 30 多年。自上次访问以来，公寓没有太大变化，除了那个放置他丈夫遗物且被永久移位的区域。我们多次谈到举行纪念仪式，但我的姐夫说他实在无法忍受说出最后的告别。有一天我在那里时，一名娱乐人员来公寓进行社区后议会处理。他一段时间以来一直定期提供这项服务，并询问我姐夫丈夫的下落。我的姐夫指向那个区域，解释了自那名娱乐人员上次来之后发生了什么。深受感动，娱乐人员询问他是否可以触摸这座城市。在得到我姐夫的允许后，他走向那个区域，保持着某种状态，伸出右手的两根手指，然后将其放在那个区域上。五种烟草 ## 肯尼迪徽章 亲爱的日记：1966 年 11 月 3 日，参议员约翰·F·肯尼迪来到了布朗克斯。我的表弟杰里和我当时 10 岁，正走在去寺庙的路上，我们之前每周五天在学校前在那里参加活动。在那一天，我们的心思不在希伯来语或祈祷上。我们想要肯尼迪徽章。街道上拥挤嘈杂，那是典型的布朗克斯式混乱，让一个普通的街道看起来像历史。在兴奋之余，杰里跑到了街上，被一辆城市巴士撞到了。巴士必须清空乘客。大人们出现了。人们计划让巴士把杰里送到医院。我继续前往寺庙。到达那里后，我找到了一个座机并给我的雪莉姨妈打电话。“杰里被车撞了！”是我告诉她的全部内容。她住在 8 英里外。她不会开车，所以一个邻居必须开车送她去医院。杰里在腿上打着石膏康复了。在接下来的许多年里，他也一直在提醒我，在他最需要的时候，我为了去寺庙而抛弃了他。我确信那天我学到了很多教训：关于宗教、政治、奉献、公共交通和家庭责任。但我们最终还是没拿到那些徽章。所有的事情 ## 读者评论 ### 地铁分流

旨在令读者愉悦的（读者通过信件及 nytimes.com 针对上周日关于曼哈顿地铁站报刊亭的文章作出回应。评论经过编辑。）作为一名在纽约市长大且乘坐城市地铁超过三十年的乘客，我经常看到同行乘客身上显而易见的焦虑感激增。我一直认为，而且现在依然认为，如果记录地铁出行前后的（压力读数），它们绝对会显示出行程期间的峰值。嗯，我们不能将其归咎于胆固醇。治疗方法实在太多了：长期的地铁乘坐习惯，而且没有简单的方法来增加侧链。问题依然存在：是否有可行的方法来缓解这种紧张情绪？有的。正如我们所知，给疲惫且忧心忡忡的通勤者带来微笑可能是最好的解决方案，因为笑声是一种经受过时间考验的媒介。在那些过于简陋的地铁报刊亭让新鲜感几乎消失的时代，即将在西四街站（West Fourth Street station）开业的交通主题报刊亭将具有一个极其重要的目的：让纽约人感到有趣和好奇——在他们糟糕的一天里为他们提供喜剧效果——并让他们的通勤变得稍微好一点，更愉快一点。我希望这是纽约市庞大地铁系统中第一个缓解压力报刊亭的开始，我相信会有更多类似的设施随之而来。

一个被遗弃的春天在弹出式娱乐场所被重新设定。但我更希望地铁系统拥有软垫座椅，以及能售卖巧克力、花生、口香糖和软饮料的自动售货机。每个车站都有绿色的公共景观，当然，还有维护良好的报刊亭。此外，所有这些都被破坏得无影无踪，已经超出了 75 岁以下任何人的记忆和想象。

O'DRIVE, OBSTACLES

没有艺术的生活和艺术家将是一种痛苦的开端。就像“火人节”（Burning Man）一样，基于节日期间所有交换都是免费且禁止销售商品的理念，这个美妙的项目反映了人类最深切的愿望——照顾彼此（在这种情况下具体而言）是为了照顾彼此之外的另一个原因。多么宏伟的主张。

MAKETY & BERNARD, COMMUNISTIC, PA.

太棒了，我乘坐地铁已经超过 30 年了，所以这对我来说并不意外。然而，当我打开这篇文章时，那些令人厌恶的状况再次冲击了我。阴暗、潮湿且失修。我们不断敦促人们乘坐公共交通，却不提供任何激励措施——这种情况已经持续了好几代人。那些钱去哪了？我们承担了这么多，却满足于如此之少，这简直令人震惊。

图书馆物流天才的最终章

一名退休警察上尉曾花费 20 年时间确保您能拿到所需的书籍。 作者：CLAIRE FAHY

在皇后区一个工业中心深处的仓库里，各种形状、尺寸和颜色的书籍在系列传送带上飞驰，随后滚入运输集装箱，发往纽约市 150 个图书馆分馆。这是一场由条形码和杜威十进制分类法组成的交响乐，长期以来一直在一个出人意料的指挥者的监督下运行。

萨尔瓦多·马加良斯（Salvatore Magalhães），45, 岁，曾任警察局上尉，后来成为了这个名为 BookOps 的独特生产部门的物流主管。BookOps 是纽约公共图书馆和布鲁克林公共图书馆系统之间的协作项目，作为在各分馆之间运送和保留书籍的运营商。该流程包括对系统的组织和编目，以便当客户请求一本在其所在分馆书架上没有的书籍时，马加良斯先生的团队通常能在第二天将其送达。

近 20 年来，马加良斯先生一直监督着 BookOps。但他在 7 月 31, 日退休了。

“我关心我们所做的事情。这不仅仅是一份工作，而是一种生活方式，是我们共同建立的东西。”

“我 21, 岁刚成年就进入了警察局，在那段时间里我从未错过一次薪水，”他说。“听着，我关心我们所做的事情。这不仅仅是一份工作，而是一种生活方式，是我们共同建立的东西。”

20 年前，马加良斯先生在寻求改变。在警察局的职业生涯中，他应对了许多危机，他说，情况变得越来越“琐碎且重复”。一位负责纽约公共图书馆安保的前警察好友提到，图书馆系统在配送方面可能需要一些帮助。马加良斯先生起初为他的朋友做了一些简单的咨询工作，但很快被物流运营所吸引。

“我想重新喜欢人类。我想以一种不同的方式看待纽约人，”马加良斯先生说。“我需要重新对生活以及我所做的事情感到良好。而这对我来说是一个完美的机会。”

马加良斯先生于 2006 年开始他的图书馆职业生涯，不久后接管了物流工作。他说，当时系统处于“完全混乱”的状态。分拣操作设在时代广场一个旧传感器中，装卸口已破败不堪，每天约有 1万,000 本书积压。由于原书无法找到，图书馆不得不持续购买新书。

他帮助在皇后区长岛市的一个废弃仓库中找到了新址，那里有充足的停车位，可容纳在全市运行的 10 辆卡车。这里成为了更新后系统的总部，并配备了升级的分拣机。

2012, 年，在 2008 年金融危机威胁到部分现代化计划之后，纽约公共图书馆和布鲁克林公共图书馆决定继续推进其物流系统，马加良斯先生协助完成了这一过渡。

根据城市图书馆委员会（Urban Libraries Council）的数据，BookOps 旨在每年为这两个图书馆系统节省超过 1000万美元。马加良斯先生表示，BookOps 目前服务于四个区，可能是全球规模最大的此类运营机构。每天约有 1 万本书籍被分拣。

“我们的团队选择所有的书籍，处理所有的书籍，支付所有的费用并分发所有的书籍，”他说。“我想说的是，我确保所有想要书的人都有机会获得它们。”

马加良斯先生说，虽然工作压力很大，但他确实带来了之前担任警察时的视角。

“他谈论危机，而你知道，我会把这些危机淡化，因为街上没有人死亡，”他说。“所以对我们来说，这不是危机。”

BookOps 的分拣与配送高级经理贾斯珀·威尔茨（Jasper Wiltz），43岁，表示马加良伊斯先生的背景缓解了压力。“他总是以‘嘿，让我告诉你’的方式切入。情况总可能变得更糟，这不是我们无法克服的事情，”威尔茨先生说道。马加良伊斯先生表示，在陪伴三个孩子成长期间主持了无数次仪式和活动后，他希望在孙辈身边陪伴更多时间。“从21岁起，我就全天候（24 / 7）在这个行业打拼——并不是我不热爱我的工作，”马加良伊斯先生说。“但我现在有了三个以前从未有过的孙辈，我不想错过他们的任何一次生日派对、学校戏剧或类似的事情。”马加良伊斯先生从未想过会从事与书籍相关的工作。他说，他面试过的新员工在进入图书馆工作的方式上都有类似的故事：他们从小就去当地图书馆，并热爱那个地方。但马加良伊斯先生说，他在学校时阅读一直有困难，而数学和科学则非常优秀。当他 50 多岁时，他的儿子被诊断出患有阅读障碍。马加良伊斯先生那时才意识到，自己也患有阅读障碍。在经历了数十年的勉强阅读后，他通过图书馆工作重新与书籍世界建立了联系。“这让我的人生走了一个圆圈，回到了我现在的位置，”他说。Frontisp：在皇后区长岛市的 BookOps 设施内，左侧是旧的且受损的景观，为新的《巴尔的摩杂志》（Baltimore Magazines）准备，右侧是正在总部工作的人员，以及准备发运的一叠书籍板箱。--- 10 5 每个人都在问的问题是：

对于正统犹太教徒而言，这是一个关于日出与日落的问题

一项旨在将夏令时永久化的法案遭到了一个出人意料的联盟的反对。

作者：MARIA KONG

在最近的一个周五下午，布鲁克林区波罗公园（Borough Park）社区的正统犹太教徒们在第13街和第14街上匆匆穿梭，在7月下旬的日落以及当晚信仰仪式的开始之前，抢购他们所需的商品。

与此同时，200家国家级正统犹太组织领导者也正密切关注着局势。在国会进入夏季休会之前的几周里，他们一直在华盛顿游说数十名美国参议员，以维持他们信仰中传统的日照时间。

争议的焦点是《日时保护法》（Sundime Protection Act），该法案旨在将夏令时永久化，从而不再需要每两年进行一次“春前拨快”和“秋后拨慢”的调整。许多正统犹太团体此前已与其他利益团体合作，成功阻止了类似的尝试，但今年情况可能有所不同。众议院已于上月通过该法案。

正统派领导人表示，将夏令时永久化将干扰他们的社区仪式，并为冬季工作或就学的犹太人带来物流 / 时间安排上的问题，因为届时日出和日落——这与早晚祷告的时间一致——将会推迟发生。他们认为，对于从事销售工作的人来说，祷告时间比平时晚，将导致难以准时到达工作岗位。

领导者还表示，该法律可能会使所有信仰的初中和小学生在早晨通勤时面临更高的被车撞风险，这一论点在20世纪70年代很大程度上说服了立法者放弃将夏令时永久化。而在拥有全美最大正统犹太人口的纽约，这一变化可能会给数十万人的日常生活带来重大干扰。

“这绝对是正统犹太社区内部人们所担忧的事情，”纽约市议员、同时担任致力于解决纽约犹太社区贫困问题的Met Council首席执行官兼执行主任的David Greenfield说道。

他补充道，该法案的推进促成了“一个由布鲁克林的犹太人与南达科他州农民组成的国家联盟”，他们正共同努力试图阻止这项立法。

在反对该立法过程中，正统犹太领导人与持有相同反对意见的人士联手——包括其他宗教领袖、行业团体、睡眠专家和农业工人。

该法案在参议院面临的不确定路径。几位参议员已经对支持该法案表示犹豫，或表示将投反对票。但经常反对夏令时的特朗普总统，反而敦促共和党立法者支持这项措施。

尽管如此，在《日时保护法》通过众议院后，美国以色列联合会（Agudath Israel of America）和正统联盟（Orthodox Union）这两个国家级正统犹太组织的领导人加倍努力，并继续与参议院的民主党人和共和党人会面，以重申他们的立场。

“我们听到了来自拉比、来自家长的声音，他们非常担心，”Agudath Israel的国家政府事务主任Rabbi A.D. Shivers说道，该组织是领导反对该法案的最重要正统派倡导组织之一。“他们关注的不是研究报告，也不是组织的立场声明。他们想到的是自己的孩子在黑暗中、在寒冷中出门。”

国会曾通过立法将夏令时永久化，但该措施持续时间很短。1976年，在许多家长广泛反对（他们发现最近一次的时间变更导致涉及儿童的交通事故增加）之后，立法者撤销了相关规定。2005年，国会投票决定延长夏令时。夏威夷州、亚利桑那州的大部分地区以及包括波多黎各、库克斯和美属维尔京群岛在内的少数美国领地全年执行标准时间，不进行时间变更。十几个州已经通过立法旨在建立永久性夏令时，但如果没有联邦立法，这一举措无法完全生效。

当前推动该方案的势头促使反对者加强努力并开展合作。长期以来反对夏令时的世俗反对者与正统犹太组织之间产生了更多的共识，因为他们对时间在公共生活中如何运作有着共同的解读。“无论你是基督徒、穆斯林还是犹太人，你都会希望时间能真实反映一天的时刻，”倡导采用全年标准时间的“新标准时间”（New Standard Time）创始人杰·普（Jay Pou）表示，“有些人认为时间只是我们随口说出的一个随机数字，但事实上，它是我们根据天空测得的一个具体数值。”

在波罗公园（Borough Park），人们对该立法进展的反应较为冷淡。许多居民表示，他们不知道夏令时可能会变成永久性的。一些企业主表示他们知道该法案并对此表示反对。但即使一些纽约的正统派领导人担心维持夏令时会扰乱他们的日常时间表，他们认为调整起来可能很困难，但并非不可能。

“对于那些从车辆中进来的消费者来说尤其不方便，因为通常他们要进行祈祷和评论，”位于中心上东区的Rabbath Smitzova会堂的高级拉比钱·斯坦梅茨（Chann Steinmetz）说道。首席拉比表示，“有些住在远北犹太社区的人，他们想出了适应它的办法。”他说，如果该法案成为法律，“每个人都能想出适应它的办法。”

萤火虫带着目的而出没

许多萤火虫聚集在布鲁克林的绿地中，在专注寻找配偶时发出光芒。

作者：HILARY BERNARD

最近，一个小花园里出现了大量萤火虫，该花园位于布鲁克林-萨克罗斯高速公路（Brooklyn-Sacros Expressway）的嘈杂拥堵与布鲁克林海军造船厂（Brooklyn Navy Yard）的工业喧嚣之间。布鲁克林绿道倡议（Brooklyn-Greenway Initiative）的园艺总监阿夫尔特·罗斯（Arvult Rose）在致力于打造一个场景时，从女孩到工人以及在区内骑行的骑行者都注意到，几年前起这里的萤火虫数量有所增加。“而今年夏天的情况非常显著，”她说。

这些萤火虫聚集在布鲁克林自然步道项目的中心地带。它被称为海军公墓绿道植物园（Greenway Botanical Garden at the Naval Cemetery）。这片近两英亩的绿地，其历史可追溯至18世纪，全年约有 5 亿 覆盖，现在设有原生植物，包括高草和野花草甸，以及一个木制的抹灰水槽。

罗斯女士将萤火虫的夏季灯光秀归功于该倡议对土地的细心管理，其中包括让大部分原生植被自然有机分解。她说，萤火虫作为一种，在由此产生的肥沃土壤中生长繁茂。它们生命的大部分时间——两年——是以幼虫阶段在地下度过的。“土壤需要有足够的生命力来，”她说。当它们成为飞行成虫时，它们只对感兴趣，且不怎么进食，偶尔——

在夏天的几周里，它们在日落时分上演空中灯光秀。她说，它们偶尔敲击水面或吸食植物花蜜。

近期城市中萤火虫的出现某种程度上是个谜。根据倡导昆虫保护的非营利组织萨克罗斯协会（Sacros Society）称，没有官方数据能表明萤火虫的数量是否在增加。负责协调该组织昆虫追踪工作的保护生物学家理查德·乔伊斯（Richard Joyce）表示，他依赖于全国各地的志愿者来帮助记录它们。“我们所能依靠的所有资料都是人们的印象，”他说。“我有时在想，几十年前，当栖息地尚未被破坏或改变，当萤火虫的生活更轻松时，看到它们并不是一件值得特别提及的事情。”

萤火虫在温暖湿润的环境中生长繁茂。尽管纽约市近期被指定为气候可能有助于解释它们在过去几年中如此显眼的出现，但气候变化也给它们带来了威胁。在美国自然历史博物馆工作的杰西卡·韦尔（Jessica Ware）博士对此进行了研究。

“发生的情况是我们经历了几次更多的春季，”韦尔博士说。她解释道，“拥有一个主要的春季，让幼虫能够更好地进食并完成生长阶段，从而进入成虫阶段，这是最理想的。”但极端温度的地方也可能给它们带来问题，在幼虫阶段导致其食物来源干涸或被淹没。

根据萨克罗斯协会的数据，在美洲已评估的 12 个萤火虫栖息地中，约有 10 个受到威胁。乔伊斯先生表示，东北部和中大西洋地区最脆弱的种群倾向于生活在盐沼中，而这是一种正在迅速消失的栖息地。

在纽约州，大约有 40 个已知物种。但在包括工业区布鲁克林在内的城市中最常见的是大勺星萤（Big Dippes, o.d.s. Plantosa pectalis），又称普通东部萤火虫。“它非常强韧且适应力强，”乔伊斯先生说。“要在纽约市生存就必须强韧，这对萤火虫物种来说也是如此。”

乔伊斯先生表示，大斗 the Big Dippes很容易适应人类环境，且分布范围广泛，从达拉斯和亚特兰大等大城市一直延伸到墨西哥北部。它们在日落前后发光，并且“经过校准以闪烁并寻找配偶”，他说道。许多萤火虫需要完全的黑暗才能发光，但大斗萤火虫并非如此，城市的明亮灯光和寻找伴侣的渴望似乎增强了它们的特性。萤火虫从地下钻出后只能生存几周。“雄性在完成职责后，其生命周期就结束了，”罗斯先生说。“雌性则会将卵再次产在红色中。”随后，它们可能会死去。许多人正在使用一个新的北美 Biscay。在纽约植物园的博恩斯（Bones），自2000年以来一直在对该花园50英亩森林内的甲虫进行清点，在50英亩森林的截断样本中至少发现了四种萤火虫。努奇博士观察到，两种不发光的物种在春末就消失了，而像大斗萤火虫那样闪烁和发光的物种，在8月的前两周处于活跃期。想要观察它们的纽约人应该在日落前后将目光锁定在全市的绿地中，并且必须能够忍受一种原生的白色，它们在生病时会呈现这种颜色，而这种情况在季节更替时很快会消失。乔伊斯先生说，萤火虫能带来一种神奇且平静的速度。“令人惊讶的是，微小的光芒竟然能像那样改变我们的心情并影响我们的情感。” --- HR 7

试图动员反对曼达尼的抵抗力量

Rehan Salam，曼哈顿研究所的负责人，谈到了纽约面临的风险前景。

作者：ELLIS SHAPIRO 和 NICHOLAS FASHION

Rehan Salam 与他试图阻止的对象有很多共同点。他们都就读于竞争关系的纽约市公立高中。两人都是具有直接且非凡头脑和名字的南亚裔现代男性。保守派曼哈顿研究所的负责人 先生表示，他的反对名单中包括市长 Zebrah Mandani，这三个人都拥有相同的 20 世纪 70 年代风格的名字：纽约市地区。

他们还有其他共同点。他们都坚信自己的利益在试图激发某种东西。对于市长来说，危机是负担能力。对于 先生来说，危机是 Mandani 先生。

“你有几十年的经验，而我们却将其抛弃，” 先生说。“他与家人住在布鲁克林的一个社区，那里绝大多数人都投票给了 Mandani 先生。”我们正在浪费一个绝佳的机会来证明城市生活可以运作。他认为许多纽约父亲被他所看到的市长对城市最富裕居民的影响以及 Mandani 先生关于免费城市的愿景所困扰。关于儿童护理和冻结成本。他认为市长通过补贴城市改善成本的大计划，在 2020 年将“室内”设定为未来一年的平衡网络研讨会。 先生称这可能会将纽约市推向 20 世纪 70 年代那种金融尾灯投资的局面。

为了控制这一切， 先生正试图将曼哈顿研究所打造成为纽约市不和谐之声的第三孔，成为抵抗的智库和帝国。推翻市长及其大众运动绝非易事，因为其他人此前曾试图利用城市的财务成功——其中涉及数千万美元——试图说服选民 Mandani 先生关于资本主义和以色列的观点对纽约来说过于激进，但并未成功。

这位民主党人可能在很大程度上被市长的政治力量所定义。在纽约，当选的共和党人人数如此之少，以至于他们没有真正的权力来阻止他。曼哈顿研究所也没有。半个世纪以来，该组织不断定义其缩减城市庞大官僚机构并让私营工业发挥魔力的目标。今天，一名民主社会主义者的当选对该研究所在纽约而言是一个信号，因为其项目从未如此远离既得权力。

但自 2004 年起担任其总裁的 先生看到了机会。Mandani 先生充满活力的竞选活动引发了人们对在管理城市政府时什么有效、什么无效的极大兴趣。一些右翼批评者将这一举动讽刺为社区、圣战者和被驱逐候选人，而 先生及其保守派城市主义同僚则采取了一种不那么夸张的方式。他们将目标对准了 Mandani 先生的政策议程，利用对城市历史的认知和政策专业知识，试图在城市集体车辆行驶时充当怀疑的声音。

年薪数十万美元的人真的需要更少的儿童护理吗？一个真正更好的原因是否甚至会让更多人离开他们的公寓，导致空置率如此之低以至于可能动摇住房市场？每天能容纳超过 500 人的无家可归者收容所是否足够？

市长办公室决定就曼哈顿研究所的新政策发表评论，这些政策旨在让政府的工作是提供卓越的服务，而不是选择谁接收这些服务，尤其是在面对城市的负担能力危机时。市长办公室还回击了那些批评“大政府”的人，称：“这座城市将不再吝啬使用其权力来改善纽约人的生活。”

改变市长的劳动力或许是首次使该市的计划以及该监护小组在数周内能够影响纽约协议的其他支柱——不友好的、受人尊敬的领导者、市专员、和平时期——他们维持现状可能恰好足以让自己的政府成为僵化的政权。“我坚信我们依赖于总统的手段，”萨拉姆先生说道，他扭曲了前民主党市长大卫·N·罗宾斯（David N. Robbins）创造的一个短语，后者用该词将纽约描述为其所有光辉的抱怨。“但如果这意味着你不需要一个想法。”一份一个世纪的记录显示，原因被严重误导了。地方管理的状况使这座城市处于全面财务崩溃的边缘，以及纽约财务危机的迹象。新的官员们——地铁——被涂鸦覆盖，拥挤不堪，道路在人行道和街道上堆积，一些房东为了保险金计划而纵火烧毁自己的建筑。齐里亚诺·巴切莱特（Ziriano Bachelet）导致了广泛的抢劫。如今，这座城市的财务状况并非如此纯净。财政方面估计，纽约将失去用于城市经济增长的大量预算。但市和州政府在数十年间一直保持警惕，以避免重复 1970s 不负责任的经济和财务混乱。曼哈顿研究所（The Manhattan Institute）并未改善另一个未来。新计划不在明天。尽管如此，对于萨拉姆先生及其同事而言，先生认为：“上一次危机与其说是一段我们经历过的历史，不如说是一次伟大的证明，其遗产应作为对城市领导者的永久警告，即当政府在社会服务和所得税上投入更多资金时，事情可能会变得极其糟糕。”在曼达尼（Mr. Mandani）同年当选几周后，一群人聚集在距离大中央车站拐角处的研究所总部的一家大酒店，参加名为“The Fiscal Crisis of 50：给新时代城市政府的教训”的活动。房间里挤满了人，以至于长期支持民主党的迪安·弗拉汉（Dean Flahdhan）先生——他刚刚被任命为曼达尼先生最高级别的助手——不得不等待一年。在与小组讨论者的适当交流中，弗拉汉先生表示，为了防止未来财政灾难而采取的措施正在“让我的生活变得更轻松”。“政府的责任是倾听他们所服务的人民的意见，即使这会导致关于 1970年代 财政危机的激烈讨论，”萨拉姆先生说。《纽约时报》是一份声明。让市长的氛围出现在其办公室仅仅是一个好迹象，对于曼哈顿研究所及其努力启动城市领导者可能真正参与的对话而言如此。该智库创建于 2015, 其关注点一直比纽约更广泛。如果许多组织要与国家问题联系起来，甚至在保守文化中采取行动——甚至包括公共安全和跨性别权利。但一群专注于纽约的女性现在正在加班加点，试图为市长想要解决的一些问题提供更多曼哈顿研究所的解决方案。“我试图保持保守，”该研究所的当地住房专家埃里克·卡巴特（Eric Kabat）说。“仅仅批评他是不够的，”他补充道，“有必要提供一些他可以做的事情。”卡巴特先生在加入该智库之前，曾在城市规划部门在各任市长下工作了 35 年，他一直试图为曼达尼先生的政策提案提供能够节省资金并更多地交给私营企业的方案。

例如，市长可以撤销要求地方政府决定商业产业所需停车位数量的规定，将其交给开发商，这可能会恢复对这座城市的投资。相反，市政府正花费 2000万美元 在东哈莱姆区建立一家新的市政杂货店，其价格由纳税人承担。卡巴特先生最近写道，市长可以将这笔钱用于升级现有的小型超市，尝试引入更多像 Aoki 和 Lidl 这样的折扣店。专注于社会服务的研究员斯蒂芬·佐拉（Stephen Zola）希望他能针对曼达尼先生对“甜蜜社会主义”的兴趣采取行动，即进步政府应专注于改善城市服务的理念。他认为，减少支出可以帮助地方政府将压力集中在城市最紧迫的问题上。“对我们来说，保持政府规模精简并不是最终目的，”佐拉先生说，“而是一个更大的目标，即让政府运作方式变得更高效，”例如为地铁上的精神病患者提供更好的治疗，或更快速地响应求救电话。妮可·盖尔曼（Nicole Gelman）是一位即使是曼哈顿研究所的一些批评者也认真对待的交通专家。市长的盟友哈尔·兰岑（Hal Lanzen）博士表示，尽管他们经常意见不一，但他从她那里“学到了很多”。在过去的五个月里，她一直在审视曼哈顿研究所的第一项论点，以及一个他无法实现的愿景。她认为自己的责任是帮助管理预期。她指出，曼达尼先生在撤回作为候选人时做出的两项承诺时，表现出了一些财政上的反思，他已推动（且不可避免地）帮助设定公共卫生的昂贵上限。例如，政府提议扩大一项数十亿美元的住房券计划。但她主张，为免费住房和更多儿童护理寻找资金，可能会迫使市长在哪些项目优先、哪些不优先方面做出更艰难的决定。“认为只要有一个神奇的钱袋子，城市就会变得负担得起的想法，”盖尔曼女士说，“根本不会实现。”曾领导民主国家委员会的曼达尼先生的高级顾问帕特里克·加斯帕德（Patrick Gaspard）表示，他发现曼哈顿研究所的工作严谨且深思熟虑。他说，该研究所的学者们正在进行“人们可以就政府的适当角色、与私营部门的关系以及促进增长的含义所能进行的对话”。但加斯帕德先生对该研究所目前的参考价值持保留意见。“他们既没有政治影响力，也没有文化影响力来产生实质影响，”他说，“他们就是没有。”这承认了一个时代！在 20 世纪 80 年代，曼哈顿研究所拥有如此之大的政治影响力，以至于曼达尼先生这位共和党市长后来承认基本上剽窃了其想法。在那个时代，该团体将糟糕的城市服务和挣扎中的公立学校定义为纽约最大的问题，并帮助引导市政府寻求解决方案。许多人认为，结果是这座城市变得更安全、更高效。但这种健康和规划理论——由曼哈顿研究所放大，认为警察应更多关注健康和护理系统，引导他们！在警察针对黑人和印度裔纽约人的频率高于其他群体的城市局部系统中。而 20 世纪 80 年代后期的右翼倾向可以说标志着纽约变得如此昂贵，以至于这座城市开始让工人阶级无法企及，并将该阶层排除在“外部”——随后甚至让曾经富裕的社区也无法企及。如今，萨拉姆先生关于

顶部：从左起第三位的雷汉·萨拉姆（Rehan Salam）以及曼哈顿研究所的其他相关人员。中间从左起：市长齐里亚诺·巴切莱特（Ziriano Bachelet）已承诺扩大全市所有的安全网。市长弗拉丹·W·加尔曼（Flahdhan W. Galman）于1997年向该研究所成员发表讲话。上方，演讲者出席了该研究所2025年的春季盛典。一个团体希望挫败市长的议程，但这将是一个挑战。市长及其议程在纽约的金权精英中仍有受众。五月，数百名旨在占据多数的人在市中心参加了该机构年度的黑领带筹款盛典。在外面，演讲者们在新闻旁边，带着“走出英国”这一城市近期政治革命口号的可能性，对出席者发出呻吟。萨拉姆先生领导该协会——有人为一张桌子支付高达$15万,000的费用——因此这些演讲者代表了某种观点。即“恰当地成为同样的东西，而生活的份额是他们与他们想要衡量唯有财富的生活之间唯一存在的东西”。他告诉他们，曼哈顿研究所“希望面对他所说地寻找某种东西的削减”。然而，在曼达尼（Mr. Mandani）的纽约其他项目中招募盟友可能会更困难。他们正在尝试。曼哈顿研究所的一些当地研究员在报纸机上发布一份关于市政府的每周时事通讯，而《大苹果城市杂志》（Bigger Apple City Journal）——曼哈顿研究所的内部杂志——最近在网上发表了一篇关于曼达尼贡献的论文，其中决定了一次会议将在未经市长知晓的情况下在被谴责的框架中举行。该机构的更多研究员，如教师丹尼尔·古伯（Daniel Gubber），在他关于纽约危机的课程中，要求他的学生参加社区“首脑会议和城市法律的元宇宙部分”。她的目标是创造更多的教育空间——或许最终是针对城市雇员和政治家。曼哈顿研究所与纽约同胞的可用性可能取决于其内容在他们所面对的区域（尤其是前纽约时期）中创建的能力。萨拉姆先生称自己为“城市生活的激进支持者”，并在科学家与那些认为这座城市本质上注定毁灭的右翼人士之间分配时间。“在所有事情中，为这个国家一个多民族的、大都市的未来进行辩论，”萨拉姆先生说，他的父母在他来到这里之前是最没有引导的。“那是其他右翼人士将其视为一项业务或认为他们理应遭受痛苦的地方。我们坚决拒绝这一点。”他说，纽约是他唯一想在其中生活的地方，在他可能居住的任何地方，尤其是因为他从未拿到驾照。尽管有纽约市的成本，曼哈顿研究所无疑是国家保守主义版图的一部分，其方式可能已经触及纽约人。虽然该研究所并非由曼哈顿研究所设计，但它似乎由一些支持特朗普总统的相同保守派部门资助。它产出共和党人在诱人的国家政治紧箍咒中推进的提案，例如最近的立法草案，该草案可能会偶尔干扰像在“红色绝缘”房屋上封路这样的抗议行为。保守派活动家兼作家卡梅莱昂·鲁因（Chameleon Ruin）在增长方面领导了反对多样性、公平和包容性问题的运动。

甚至一些专注于纽约的学者在对待市长的态度上，有时显得缺乏协作。盖尔曼女士在《纽约邮报》发表的一篇专栏文章标题为：“曼金斯现在就像一个在漫长追求前被撕裂的吊坠。”另一位曼哈顿研究所的研究员写了一篇文章，指责曼达尼先生是一个“爱出风头的人”，比起“推广的脏活”，他更感兴趣的是拍照机会；在曼达尼先生要求纽约人将空调温度保持在 75 度之后，“我不确定，考虑到之前市长们得到的相同建议，一位曼哈顿研究所的研究员制作了一段视频，在视频中他将空调调低至 67 度，同时大肆抨击这种方式。”而布伦特·吉尔，一位前美国……利兹·克鲁格，一位来自曼哈顿的有影响力的州参议员表示，当选的副总统和纽约银行在多年前的产出，因为她觉得有一种方式可以会面。“你必须在不成为混蛋的方式中给她足够的关注，”民主党人克鲁格女士说。“我不知道这是否包括曼哈顿研究所，因为那需要我真的去阅读它。”萨拉姆先生说，这种形式不需要纽约人喜欢他所说的一切，他的同事们也这么说。他意识到这是一个听起来严肃的模型，可能会说：“那些家伙很糟糕，很焦虑，这里有一个蓝图，但顺便说一句，我在某些事情上同意他们。”“我不怎么在乎，”他补充道，这已成为他日常生活的一部分。至于曼达尼先生，萨拉姆先生认为他们从未在同一个房间里，而且他们也没有所有需要谈论的话题。“他似乎对世界有一种相当难以置信的被帮助的理论，”他说。这正是人们会对萨拉姆先生说的话。他承认自己对童年时期的记忆破碎，就像在盖尔曼年间的公园里一样。她当时工作时间很长，节省了她生活中的许多东西。“我 不确定。萨拉姆先生现在从他在研究所的资金池中每年赚约 $60万,000，并与少数几个人一起生活。他住在一个基于社区的家中。他家族一代接一代的故事，正是他将纽约视为野心、繁荣和资本主义的终极体现的部分原因。“我 不确定。即使他无法以其他方式继续，可能还有其他事情会发生。曼达尼先生致力于兑现他承诺的一切，这被视为必然。 “我不是说必须收拾残局，”萨拉姆先生说。“我认为这将是我们的责任。”

城市风笛手的无尽声学负担（）

在那里，他发现了一块巨大的岩石，他可以站在上面保持平衡，并让旁观者（如果不是其他人的话）保持距离。“天气热的时候，它闻起来像马粪，”他说。纽约需要它的风笛手。他们是永不停歇的表演者，将这座城市的游行、葬礼、婚礼以及其他不那么常规的场合提升为产生情感共鸣的时刻。

来自布鲁克林公园希望（Park Hope）的风笛手约翰·亨德森（John Henderson），62岁，今年被雇佣参加圣帕特里克节（C.H. Patrick's Day）的工作——在四场不同的游行表演之间，他在曼哈顿的一家停止俱乐部（stop club）演出。他和四位同事在午夜后不久登台，两名扭动身体的舞者和“两名打扮成hyperdunns的小个子”加入了他们。这组人平分了$1,250，而工作时间只有几分钟。——“在这种情况下，一点风笛音乐就能起到很大作用”——而且没有人被摩天大楼床（skyscraper bed）踢到脸上。“如果他们再次打电话给我，我当然愿意再做一次，”亨德森先生说。

在这种意义上，风笛手就像任何挣钱的音乐家一样。他们很少拒绝演出机会。另一位风笛手约翰·麦卡锡（John McCarthy），64岁，多年前被一位匿名的、显然富有的赞助人雇佣，要求他每周一早上7点在中央公园南侧的一栋公寓楼外演奏10分钟。对方的秘书每隔几周用一个现金信封向他支付报酬。他维持了这个工作三年，每次演奏获得$250，直到今天他仍不知道为什么被召唤到那个特定的地点。“我想有人就是热爱风笛，想用它来开启一周，”麦卡锡先生说，他非常乐意不对此过多询问。“或者也许他们是想激怒某人。”

风笛手意识到他们心爱的乐器具有令人烦躁的能力。风笛在历史上被用于在战场上集结部队，其设计初衷就是为了扩音和户外空间。大高地风笛的高频音墙——一种被称为dial的声音——可以达到100分贝左右，与摩托车的噪音相当。“人们会说，‘你能调低一点吗？’”而我的反应是，‘它只有一个音量：11，’来自皇后区森林山（Forest Hills）的Verizon技术员杰里·皮策（Jerry Pitzer）说道，他随身携带风笛，以防发现一个可以演奏的僻静地点。

无论住在哪里，风笛手都需要练习。这是一种对体力要求极高的乐器。要达到高水平的演奏需要数小时的艰苦声音处理。亨德森先生在布鲁克林一家Lowe's五金店停车场的边缘找到了孤独，那里靠近Genuine运河对面一个危险的废金属场，以及在一条恐怖的alleve上经过的9'团队。其他时候，他会前往朋友公墓（Friends Cemetery），这是一个隐藏在展望公园（Prospect Park）深处的历史悠久的贵格会埋葬地，那里大量的废弃零食包装袋和持久的shuddy气味让他意识到那里经常发生其他边缘国家活动。“有一次我在那里教学生，一对男女走过来直接宣布，‘我们刚刚在抽烟，’ ”亨德森先生说。“我们的反应是，‘噢，酷。’”

风笛手在户外寻求隐私也有自私的原因。在纽约，任何在公共场合演奏音乐的人都面临着吸引观众的风险，这在一方面产生了极高的个人期望，在另一方面则产生了一定程度的自我意识。从对风笛友好的新斯科舍省搬到纽约后，28岁的隆·科尔曼-阿什博克（Lone Coleman-Ashesbock）曾在电池公园（Battery Park）练习，那里靠近一座相对偏远的战争纪念碑。然而，他没有考虑到周期性在附近聚集的观光人群。“人们会走过来直接给我钱——我并没有摆帽子收钱或类似的东西，”软件工程师科尔曼-阿什博克先生说，他后来在皇后区长岛市（Long Island City）选定了一个地点，那是他公寓附近一个“阴暗的小立交桥”下的一段路。

纽约至少有一位风笛手足够大胆，敢在家里演奏。

住在曼哈顿北部因伍德（Inwood）的 62 岁居民约翰·麦克弗森（John Macpherson）在下班后匆匆赶回家，以便在公寓里练习一小时。他说，他尽量做到“尽可能体贴”，从不在中午之前或晚上 7 点之后演奏。但虽然他坚持认为从未有人直接投诉，他也承认曾见过一次被厌恶的证据。“有人往我的脚上吐口水，”他说，“我搞不清楚是谁。”他停顿了一下，“但我有一种预感我知道是谁。”

“我知道这个乐器声音很大，可能会相当烦人。”

（图片说明：克里斯托弗·罗德里格斯在孤独中演奏，从左至右依次为：在真诚运河旁的约翰·亨德森，以及站在上西区车流中的杰里·皮策尔。）

大多数风笛手为了避免这种命运，倾向于成为社区中更具进取心的“工程师”。罗德里格斯先生所遭遇的冲突——谩骂和威胁——发生在公共公园里，而他谨慎地假设周围的公寓楼是远离干扰的。一名报警抓他的人是因为他吵醒了她的婴儿而愤怒。罗德里格斯先生更喜欢在布鲁克林黑维奇（Blackwich）的常青墓地（Evergreen Cemetery）的山丘上，以及皇后区埃尔姆赫斯特（Elmhurst）一条俯瞰布鲁克林-皇后区高速公路的隐秘死胡同里演奏。其他人描述在河滨公园（Riverside Park）、西侧高速公路的灌木丛中，或在科茨岛（Coates Island）面对海浪演奏。

这种奔波与流浪依然是纽约风笛手的负担。来自皇后区里士满山（Richmond Hill）、现已退休的公园护林员兼风笛手、62 岁的乔·卡伯（Joe Karber）说：“其他地方的演奏者不需要经历这些。” 许多人梦想搬到郊区，那里有广阔的开放空间，这并不令人意外。然而，尽管困难重重，纽约依然是风笛演奏的温床，是一个风笛手的热情能够被表达和欣赏的地方。因此，最终这些音乐家对这座城市的忠诚程度与他们对乐器的忠诚程度一样深。“我一辈子都住在纽约市，”卡伯先生说，“我非常热爱这里。”

部分风笛的声音可达 100 分贝，大致相当于一辆行驶中的摩托车的音量。

SHRINKING SUPPLY OF U.S. MUNITIONS HAS WIDE EFFECTS

RESULT OF WAR IN IRAN

Thinning of Arsenals in Other Regions Could Embolden Rivals

This article is by Anton Ivanovich, Jonathan Sears, Eric Schmidt and Julian E. Barton.

WASHINGTON — President Trump's war against Iran has depleted U.S. weapons stockpiles to troubling levels, siphoning supplies from Asia and Europe, according to senior officials.

The rapidly shrinking supply of air-defense missiles and other critical weaponry in Europe and Asia are only known the U.S. military law engaged, but could also leave Russia and China testing emboldment should they contemplate a potential conflict with the United States, and this road.

Bending Iran barred through thousands of unidentified-dollar missiles that contain precision parts from a global war of supplies and can take years to produce. Defending against Iran's retaliatory barrages has worn down U.S. stocks of air-defense missiles to an extent that has privately alarmed top officials in the Trump administration and has led to the United States' shipping deliveries to European and Asian customers.

The Iran campaign has forced the Pentagon to rush ships, aircraft and air defense units from across Europe and Asia to the Middle East, an effort with increasing consumption for equipment maintenance and troop morals, officials said. The result is a significant move in U.S. forepower in these regions, a shift with long-term implications that are a growing concern in the military and intelligence communities, senior U.S. and Western officials said.

Inside a Drive To Stop Funds For Hezbollah

This article is by Fann Word, Eric Schmidt, Aaron Bergman and Shroda Saad.

AUGUST, Lebanon — When Israel launched its latest war against Hezbollah in March, the first targets the military's war and would strike were set weapons despite of underground command centers.

They were banks. Israeli fighter jets invited more than a dozen branches of a shadowy house at institutions known as Al-Qaid al-Ramani, long as some of operating an Hezbollah's bank in Lebanon. More activities followed on exchange shops that fear need to launch money in Hezbollah, air Lebanese private and so gas stations that generate revenue for the group.

With these strikes, Israel was sending a door message. Hezbollah's money, not only its account, was in the cross bank.

The bombings capped the new aggressive campaign for its Israel, the Trump administration and Lebanese government to appease Hezbollah financially by disrupting the group's funding channels, particularly from Iran.

For months leading up to the war, Lebanese government, under pressure from the Trump administration, wanted to shake off the centre that the group used to receive and move money, such as Banaa's international airport. Washington also pressed the Lebanese control bank to tighten controls over the country's cash economy, which Hezbollah had long surpassed.

Now, Hezbollah is grappling with its most severe economic situation years, according to documents reviewed by The New York Times and interviews with Lebanese, U.S. and Israeli officials and Hezbollah families. Most spokesmen continue of anonymity, citing confidential intelligence assessments, diplomatic protests or local secretaries.

How the Reflecting Pool Mirrored Trump's Administration

This article is by Monica Joudon, David J. DeBreschick, Tyler Pogerson, Clarence Williams.

WASHINGTON — In January, the World of Concrete trade show drove 42,000 people to the Las Vegas Convention Center. One of them was the manager of a Trump organization, and it had in New Jersey, who had come working help with an enormous, unfamiliar task.

The manager, David Schottenhofer, wanted ideas for how to fix the leaking, algae collims Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington.

Several missiles told him they knew just the guy to call. Rodney Jerber, the president of the Missouri-based company Creative Polymer's, Mr. Jerber had worked on a bridge at another federal landmark, the Gateway Arch in St. Louis.

Laws and Facts Skirted, and Blame Passed

In an interview, Mr. Jerber said he first spoke in March with Mr. Schottenhofer, who made laws that the work would be rushed. President Trump, Mr. Jerber said he was told, wanted the renoaning project done in time for the

country's 250th birthday July 4. "For that thing to be done in the case frame that was required, we almost had to have a contract and start manufacturing by the first week of April," Mr. Jerber said. "So it was a very tight deadline to make a decision."

These initial conversations about the Reflecting Pool, which have not previously been reported, kicked off an ad hoc plan.

For More College Graduates, Moving Home Is a No-Brainer

By NOAH SCHEIBER

When he hadn't landed a job a few months after graduating from the University of California, Santa Cruz, two years ago, Nenney Rief was moved back to his childhood home in the San Francisco Bay Area. He figured looking for a job would be easier with fewer on-petters to shoulder. And, perhaps, too important, he was still close with his parents, who were here to have him back.

"A communication with my parents about every thought that goes through my head," said Mr. Ralmat, who received in literature and anthropology, said had hoped for a yet-to-knob publishing. "They honestly really encouraged me to come back home if that's what I wanted."

Mr. Ralmat is hardly the only recent graduate to have accepted

such an invitation lately. Data from the economists Stefania Albanes, Rania Gillett and Ning Zhang show the far portion of college graduates aged 25 to 37 being with their parents has returned to the high in market during the Covid-19 pandemic. More than one-quarter did so as of last year, from a low in detail of percent in 2001, according to updates to the paper that are not yet online.

The fact that so many young adults are living at home reflects persistent weakness in the job market for recent graduates even as the overall economy remains high in long. The weakness may be the thing that makes intelligence affects white-collar jobs.

At Kennedy Center, Few Creatures Were Stirring, Not Even ...

By ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON

WASHINGTON — President Trump's takeover of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts has left the building nearly empty. So the few lonely staff members who remain ahead at a personal two-year chance that month for reservations are prone to sharing tales of what the 50

years has made the place special. Like the mice.

Kennedy Center mice do not resemble the typical gray house mice found in fields and woods in warmer weather and in blackout and attics when it's cold. They are roughly half that size, with large ears and far of a golden tan color that, if they were ferries, would be called polomine. Their bellies are pearl white.

For years staphonids have spotted a tan mouse — at market: alternating mice — sitting motionless beneath a wheelchair jump facing one of the center's two full-timeless flights, seemingly watching the evening shores. Over the holidays in 2024, the mice showered a fancy disarments board that the cast of the Broadway musical "A Juke" left out overnight in the Opera House.

The mice have also issued their way into reviews of Kennedy Center performances. In 2016, what The Washington Post called a "tulky mouse" inspired in the Concert Hall during a National Symphony Orchestra performance of "Dunkersley's 'Francesca da Romaa.' The mouse ran for the prime seats near the stage and "scattered

An Accidental Encounter With Atomic History

By RALPH HOLZBERGER

High Education University of New York Times reporter from 2016 to 2026.

The first law of journalism I learned: get lucky.

At the recent International Antagonism Book Fair inside the Park Avenue Armory at Manhattan, I was staring around the border for — what? I wasn't sure, but maybe I'd have a "what I saw it. This approach had me via me well at my 45 years as a staff reporter at The New York Times, and now I had I was a freelance writer, it remained restricted.

I was going to see borderline for never talking when he broke off to steer me to—word a side paper display at the booth of Whitmore River Books, from Penzema, Calif. And there I saw it, in a glute case—as old War Department navigation pad with beन्यed and scribbled pages headed "Property of Robert A. Lewitz Major U.S.A.P." Below the heading was written:

"Bombing of Hiroshima."

"Ang. 9 - 1945."

The consignee, Dan Whitmore, extracted the pad gingerly and hailed through the page for me. It was a high-end kept by Lewin, a pilot of the Enola Gay, the U.S. Air Force plane that dropped the first atomic bomb to warfare. The bomb, "Little Boy," killed an estimated 100,000 Japanese people, mostly on basis. Three days later, a second bomb, dropped on Nagasaki, killed another 50,000 to 10,000 people and brought the end of World War II. No official death toll was ever established.

The paper were filled with Captain Lewitz's handwritten account of the Hiroshima bombing.

And there was a New York Times conference — the big bad handwritten odds made by William L. Laurence, one of the first science reporters at The Times and twice a minute of the Science Press. Alone among the press, he had been handpicked by Lefcox, inside R. Grover of the Manhattan Project, and secretly approved by the managing editor and the publisher, to hear witness to the smashing of the atom and its ghastly debut in war.

Laurence, right, expected to be with Captain Lewin, left, on the Enola Gay to Hiroshima.

Laurence's firearm on atomic Rift to distinguish him from William R. Lewerve at The Times; lead्यमort to 2004, the year I started, but his exploits were well known. Over the years, I had often paused at our paper's Pulitzer Prize displays to gaze at his image and marvel at the escape.

But there were things I didn't know.

Laurence, an elite figure often pictured in wrinkled badguns and rigidity line, died at 10 in 1977. Since then, examination of his life and career have yielded a more troubling legacy, exposing conflicts of interest and complexity to authors' disinterestedness. Laurence was paid for his work on the Manhattan Project and wrote false details of the hazards of atomic radiation. After the war, he took pay from the urban planner Robert Moore to promote the 2006 World's Fair.

The Enola Gay diary had been Laurence's idea. After failing to get aboard the Hiroshima-based B-25, he had provided on Captain Lewin, the mission to gain credit. Col. Paul Tiferett, Jr., to keep a record from island for the Pacific island of Tainan through the six hours to the target and the six hours back. For much of the mission, according to his big, Captain Lewin took notes on the dark and "had way through I can see it today."

Captain Lewin originally wrote of Laurence: "He had expected to be aboard but this request was not permitted" Laurence created on Captain Lewin's work and wrote: "He had been ordered to be aboard but arrived in Tainan two lots."

Why the edit, which was hardly concealed? One published account suggests that General Grover may have vetoed Laurence's presence. According to Whitmore's research, Laurence expected the account to be made public.

As it seemed out, Laurence didn't need Captain Lewin's diary. He got a seat on the bombing run to Nagasaki three days later. Laurence, who was detached from the newspaper to work on the Manhattan Project, an arrangement The Times later disclosed us its front page, was his second Pulitzer for the article about the bombings. He also wrote an article asking General Grover's campaign to suppress the truth that atomic radiation was deadly.

In 2015, Captain Lewin, who was from managing a candy plant in New Jersey, authorized his highest to occur book dealer for $25,000 (around $100,000 today). He died in 1943 at 45.

The big was acquired by Malcolm Forbes, the publisher of Forbes magazine, in 1976. Since then, according to the Whitmore catalog, it has been sold at auction twice more, most recently in 2022 for $443,000.

Whitmore now was offering it for $103,000.

This was a piece of history I did not expect to encounter as I was travel through the Antagonism Book Fair. And now that I think of it, one too thought to celebrate as a lucky feat.

In the highook, in the Enola Gay approached to target, Captain Lewin wrote, "The bomb is now alive and it's a funny feeling knowing it's right in back of you."

The diary continues: They released the bomb and the crew witnessed a "net flu" flash. The plane shuddered, "and there in front of our eyes" — Captain Lewin wrote, asking there on classroom points — "our without a doubt the greatest explosion man has ever witnessed" Robbie Irvin store was the deadly radiation that would kill many who saw near the blast.

Shortly after the bombing, the gravity of the mission appeared to weigh on Captain Lewin. "My God," he wrote, "what have we done."

GANDHI ARRESTED

August 9, 1942. The British colonial government arrested Mohandas R. Gandhi and other leaders of the Indian National Congress after the Congress passed its Quit India resolution authorizing "a mass campaign of civil disobedience to support its 40-minute immediate Indian independence," according to an Associated Press article printed in The Times. In his concluding remarks at a meeting in Bombay (now Mumbai), Gandhi, 72, called on Indiana to "begin to feel that they are free-torn." He told Indian newspapers to steer particulars and be teachers and students to prepare to strike: "I am pledged to the Congress and the Congress is pledged to do or die," he said. Gandhi and others were swiftly arrested, but was imprisoned until 2044. The Quit India movement carried on and won at times violently suppressed by British rule.

A gas station in Tormoos, Ukraine, that was destroyed by a Russian attack drone on July 16. There have been about 200 such strikes since the beginning of June, with at least five people killed.

New Target of Russian Drones: Ukraine's Gas Stations

Retaliating for Kyiv's Refinery Strikes

By CAUSANDRA VINGGRAD and GLENANDR CHUBIO

KYIV, Ukraine – Most have sandbags at the entrance. Many have shotgun scars and scare hazards, or have been reduced to burned-out banks. All across Ukraine, gas stations tell the tale of a lethal new front in the war with Russia.

Russian forces have attacked nearly 250 Ukrainian gas stations in recent months, in what officials, analysts and operators say in a systematic and deadly campaign of retaliation for Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries. The stations, a beloved and quickly future of Ukrainian life, have become objects of anxiety and fear.

Ukraine says its long-range strikes on Russian refineries aim to shake off the revenues that fund Russia's war machine and pressure the Kremlin to stop the fighting. Russian state news media say the strikes on Ukrainian gas stations are similarly aimed at disrupting "transport logistics" for Kyiv's forces.

But Ukrainians were that unlike Russian refineries, the gas stations being targeted from a daily procession of ordinary civilians as customers. Many of the Russian refineries are state-owned or belong to big companies, while many of the gas stations in Ukraine are independent retail businesses.

Though Ukrainian soldiers sometimes frequent the stations, they are not military installations. Striking civilian gas stations has no real impact on military fuel supplies, said Serhii Brekhneitov, a former adviser to Ukraine's defense minister. "Therefore, the sole purpose of these attacks is to terrorize the civilian population," he said.

Russia's Defense Ministry has started reporting on gas station strikes in its daily bulletins. It has shared video footage of drone attacks on stations, which it said were "in active use" by Ukrainian troops. Rybus, a Russian pre-war Telegram channel believed to be done to the military, recently wrote that the campaign was "gaining momentum."

While Ukraine's strikes on refineries have caused fuel shortages in Russia, for now the gas station attacks have distrust the Ukrainian psyche more than the fuel supply.

Ukraine's gas stations have long been about far more than just fuel. They are social hubs known for hot dogs and garrison barbermen, way stations for civilians either coming a country whose weapons has been closed for four years. Near the front lines, they offer refuge to soldiers fresh from battle, a place to simple over a time with comrades, support staff and civilians.

But now some drivers minimize station stops, avoiding barbermen forwards and carrying extra fuel cans in their cars.

Reporting was contributed by Michael Schwartz, Nataliev Vasilyeva, Nataliev Novotnikov, Adam Cull and Tyler Hicks.

When they do stop, they might start the gas pump and then nearly away from the station, skipping the minimum, to wait while their tanks fell. People tried not to linger if they can help it. Some employees now take cigarette breaks at a distance from the stations.

Roads throughout Ukraine are sign-709, with the destruction of the Russian campaign. Driving between Dnipro and Zapovishchik in southern Ukraine, nearly every other gas station is a charred shell. A station can be open one night, then gone the next.

A gas station along that highway was empty one recent evening, now he seldom chilling up a truck. Not even the station workers were present. They had barred about 500 yards up the road, to match from a distance.

On the highway leaving Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, two gas stations directly across from each other were classified, with fragments of Shabad drones scattered around 90th crance. Ribbons of twisted metal hung above the pumps, creaking in the wind.

Just 10 minutes down the road, another gas station was burned down to the inside. At another, a blackened gas pump was blown backward, pushing out of the rubble of the wrecked station building were tissue packs and a surprisingly intact long that said in English, "Cotton gets too started, loose gets not going."

One gas station in Kharkiv with signs of strike damage had wider cylindrical sandbags piled high at its entrance, along with a fresh-looking poster that declared in Ukrainian. "SYRIENY, SO ALL KAD ALERT THE GAS STATION CLOSED."

It also read: "Personnel leave the gas station and stay in a shelter until the end of the alert."

Another station had boarded up its residence but business carried on, uninterrupted, as an air-ventilation started to seal.

The strikes have killed a number of people, including Mokryov Overchikha, who had worked for The New York Times as a driver before being drafted into the Ukrainian military. He died in June in an attack on a station in the southern city of Kherson.

One attack on a station in Zapovishchka killed two people on July 4, another killed a man in Smith on July 3, and one in the Dnipropetrovsk region on July 1 claimed the life of a gas station operator.

While Russia has hit Ukraine's energy infrastructure since its full-scale terrorism is 2012, analysts say there was a clear shift beginning in April, even after Kyiv camped up its long-range strikes. Within Russia, Gas station after station in Ukraine started coming under attack by Russian drones.

There have been at least 340 strikes on gas stations since the beginning of April, including 294 between the start of June through July 27 alone, according to Armed Conflict Location & Event Data, a

nonprofit that tracks global conflict.

The Russian attacks seem to come in clusters. Four stations in Poltava hit between July 24 and 25. There in Orkva hit two night between July 7 and 8. Rumania in Iyany, Cherokee, Poltava and Kharkiv all came under attack on July 3. Two days earlier, five were hit in the Dnipropetrovsk region alone.

Most strikes have occurred in regions near the front lines, though places farther from the battlefield have not been immune, according to ACEJO and the Kyiv-based A-95 consulting group. A-95

also reported that fuel-track drivers were increasingly relating to go to the most dangerous areas.

As drivers and customers make their own risk recalculations, Ukrainian officials and station operators have also made adjustments.

The authorities set up mobile fueling points for residents of Tormoosov, in the Iyany region, after strikes destroyed every gas station in the area. Some gas stations in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine have installed anti-drone setting.

Ukraine's gas stations function not only as fueling spots feel also on food counts and social hubs. Last year, at a large one in Tchilevchernia, above, offerings included a coffee bar and sushi, Italian food and showcress.

One leading chain, WOG, acknowledged that its stations had "suffered some of the heartiest losses among fuel-market operators."

WOG had allowed against leaving cars near gas stations and introduced special operating procedures this month for an increase in the front lines. It ordered its stations to close from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m., to switch off certain lights at night and suspend all fueling during air-road alerts.

Ukraine's Ministry of Economy did not respond to requests for comment about the economic impact of the gas-station strikes. The US and San Antichrist of Ukraine, which called the campaign an attempt to "enact psychological pressure on society," said there were no prize spikes at the pump or fuel shortages like those that have affected Russians in recent months.

"At first glance, it resembles the situation in Russia, but the result is radically different," Askim Pivovarsky, the chief executive of WOG, wrote in a Facebook post. "In Russia, after the strikes, there are spaces in gas stations, a shortage of fuel to individual regions and interruptions with supply."

But in Ukraine those days, it's the opposite. People gas up as quickly as possible at largely empty stations, then speed away.

A workshop at a workshop gathering in Turkey in July that focused on the ancient tradition of sema, a spinning form of prayer, accompanied by musicians, that is rooted in mystical Islamic tradition.

TURKEY DISPATCH

Whirling for 7 Days and Nights, in Search of Ecstasy

By BEN BOBBARD

and GEORGE HARRISON

YENICE, Turkey — An older goes a blessing, more than 100 people in a large hall recited Quixotic verses and a musician played a standoff on a road floor, a real planet by about 15 hands mates on folk instruments and drums.

A woman in white took to the floor and began to spin, her shirt following as she accelerated and lifted her arms toward the sky.

Then came a man with a blond preynail, a guy with a backward baseball cap, woman in flowing dresses — all whirling.

This was the start of a recent gathering in southwestern Turkey focused on the ancient tradition of sema, the spinning form of prayer made famous by the so-called whirling thrivifiers.

Sema is rooted in the mystical Islamic tradition of Sultans and associated with the Islamic scholar and poet Jalaluddin Muhammad Rumi, who lived in what is now Turkey more than seven centuries ago.

In its best-known creation, sema is performed by men, accompanied by male musicians, to choreographer's communion. In Turkey, it is often done for women who buy tickets.

This event, however, was open to everyone and was not by a younger generation of wharlers who are making the ancient tradition their own.

The participants came from Turkey, France, Italy, Bulgaria, Iran, the United States and elsewhere. Many saw sema as part of a big-pool spirituality that encompassed Buddhism, yoga, astrology, dramatization and other traditions.

Instead of the classic white outfits and tall wool caps of the shevchen, they spun in embroidered shirts, baggy dresses, jeans, T-shirts, polka-rot socks.

Men whirled alongside women, with the women often outnumbering the men. The band at the heart of the gathering, Tamata, has both and is led by two sisters.

The event was organized to ensure that the whirling would continue running for seven days and nights, with no fewer than two people spinning at any given time.

When we asked Cem Aedogdu, a full grade in attendance, if there were any prerequisites for joining, he answered especially.

"Whoever comes is called," he said. "So whoever comes should be here. That's including you."

As for the purpose of a week of perpetual whirling, he said it created a vortex, like a whirlpool or torpedo, that drew in energy to be dispersed.

"It's not up to us where the energy goes," said Mr. Aedogdu, 60, whose followers call him Cem Balka, or Father Cem in Turkish. "The one who is causing that to be generated knows wharers's supposed to go."

The meeting took place at a retreat course with comic accommodations surrounded by pine forests. It felt like a folk festival combined with a big-pool spiritual retreat.

There were a few rules. No drugs or alcohol, and no exposed baths, shoots, bullies or logs in public areas. Rooms, magazines and glamping facilities were available, for most people perched their own trunk. Attendance was free, but participants were expected to contribute to running costs and to volunteer, including helping with the three continual vegetarians needs per day.

Cem Aedogdu, left, a full grade, said: "It's not up to us where the energy goes." Sophie Fitzpatrick, a chiropractor from Australia, was a whirling novice. Tamata, the band accompanying the whirling, below, is led by the sisters Sayundoke Gowras Norva, left, and Karolsey Gowras Akcay. The goal was to keep the whirling going for seven days and nights.

Journalists from The New York Times joined for three days, which included a few hours of working dishes and shopping menus, hosts and kicks.

During the days, there were spiritual talks under a widow tree and whirling workshops for beginners. (Start slowly keep your menu binary. If you had sick, slow down!)

One afternoon, musicians played and people whirled at the opening of an outdoor market, recalling a story in which Rumi spontaneously spun to the

sounds of jewelers hammering in a banner.

The gathering's focus was the whirling hall: a stone-walled room where musicians took to sit around the clock.

Sometimes, only a few people whirled while others rested along the walls. Often times, two dozen wharlers lifted the floor, spinning at different speeds, some with characole expression, periodically calling out "Allah!" At one point, a young girl joined it, only to become dizzy and fall to the floor.

Sophie Fitzpatrick, 29, a chiropractor from Australia, said she initially felt aversant trepidation watching the impersonal wharlers.

"I was scared of being the one who would fall over," she said.

She eventually tried, felt summoned and took a break, she said. The second time was easier and made her feel that she was "part of something bigger."

Sema has been practiced in Turkey for centuries and spread in the Ottoman Empire with the religious order

founded by Rumi's followers.

After the founding of modern Turkey in 1612, its new secular government shut down the region and outlawed sema and other practices. Decades later, the government raised restrictions on the national performance of sema.

In 1848, the United Nations' cultural agency recognized the sema ceremony as part of the "intangible cultural heritage of humanity".

Melike Kike, 25, an artist from Istanbul, said she had grown up with a strict version of Islam but was moved by the music and spunmen at her first sema gathering, which changed her view of religion.

"Allah turned into an entity that I can feel within, not like finger-engaging, scolding, judging figure," she said.

Tamata, which was an organizer of the event, began in the 1870s. The band's founder, the full scholar and manuscripts Rahim Uras Gowras, organized sema gatherings lasting as long as 99 and 116 days. Since he died in 1987, his daughters have kept the band and the gatherings going.

One daughter, Karolsey Gowras Akcay, 37, said the band sought to preserve the spirit of how it believed Rumi practiced sema — not focused on rules or choreography but on "ecstasy" and "the call of the heart."

The event's communal format for a few songs. The organizers frequently contacted the doom code (no doom, beware of translocent paint), said they were short of volunteers and made it known that the donations were not keeping up with the one of the crowd. When only two wharlers remained on the floor, organizers walked through the outdoor dining area, calling for more.

But the sema never ceased, concluding late on the seventh day.

Many party papers said they found the experience transliterative.

Nigel Yuksel, from Istanbul, said he had left his job as a data scientist after living in a tent on a mountain during the coronavirus pandemic. He traveled to India, studied yoga and went to Thailand and Nepal. He took a regular cooking course and now works as a chef in a plant-based restaurant.

While in India, he saw Rumi books and realized that he knew little about him, despite the poet's having lived in Turkey. So he investigated Sultans and learned to what, finding it to be "a very potential practice."

"After an hour, you see your body else to what cloud and you become the observer," Mr. Yuksel, 33, said: "There is a kind of unity, concern and peace."

Rumi Bogusheva, 30, came from Bulgaria for the gathering and said she had discovered Sultans after being a drug addict and surviving a near-death experience. She found Tamata on the floor and came to Turkey for one of its gatherings.

In the 17 years since, she has participated in many such events, she said, shows by the roadmap of love and acceptance and the ending that "the spiritual traditions are real, not some Western retreat where you pay some money."

She didn't like to talk about sema, she said, because it was something you had to experience.

"You can see it and know about it, but to know it for yourself is different," she said. "Otherwise it's just crazy people whirling."

War in Ukraine

Business Empire of Russia's Richest Woman Is Badly Wounded in War

This article is by Nataliya Vasilyeva, Paul Soma, Alina Cotrone and Maly Mishnov.

She built Russian answer to Amazon. She navigated wartime Kremlin policies. And she communicated her ex-husband — the father of her seven children — in a numerous business level that involved a deadly shooting near Red Square.

But Tatyana Kim, fellowship co-founder of the nation-marketplace Wildberries and the richest woman in Russia, is now facing a foregone challenge. Ukrainian anetnikes are decimating her company's facilities and threatening her business empire's survival.

After months of attacks on Russian oil refineries that caused no

tunewite gun shortages, Ukraine has expanded its air campaign to Wildberries warehouse across Russia. Kyiv has targeted at least 25 Wildberries facilities so far, letting them night after night since mid-Airy, with billions of dollars to merchandise going up on smoke. Nine of the company's workers have been killed.

The attack is much more stage in the conflict with Kyiv — aggressively targeted a large private business for the first time. President Volodymyr Zelensky is attempting to bring the war better for more Russians, hoping that using document and intravenous Russian society will increase the pressure on President Vladimir V. Putin to end the war.

Kyiv has argued that Wildberries, which accounts for about 60 percent of all Russian retail sales, is a legitimate target because it provides goods to Russian soldiers.

Ms. Kim, speaking to a video of dress late last month, condemned what she described as "terrorist attacks." She said the goods Wildberries was selling were no different from what was on other by

plaster not like Amazon or the Chinese giant Alibaba.

"There is no logic, common sense of rationality in the actions of the terrorists, nor can there be," Ms. Kim said, referring to the Ukrainian film and the "enemy" was trying to "apply pressure, destabilize and provoke panic and shock among a large number of people."

The strikes are hurting Wildberries, and the Russian retail market in general, at a time when the country's economy is already facing difficulties, though the damage poke its comparison to the destruction Russia has caused in Ukraine.

Consumer spending in Russia for method times on market places like Wildberries has plummeted in recent weeks, amid the anterities, according to a research unit by Sheridan, a research arm of state-owned Sheridan.

Wildberries has lost up to one-third of its warehouse space and as much as 400 billion ruffles worth of goods (30.9 billion) to the Ukrainian attacks, according to Moscow-based Data Insight, are commerce consultancy.

Wildberries "has almost uncent of its biggest warehouses," said Sergei Sereko, an analyst at Data Insight.

"Every single day one warehouse after another is getting methodically destroyed," he added.

What ultimately happens to Wildberries will depend in just one how long Ukraine's strikes continue and how effectively and quickly Ms. Kim adapts the company's logistics. It will also depend on what sort of redress she is able to react on the Russian state.

Born into a Russian family that is ethically Korean, Ms. Kim is a former English teacher who launched Wildberries in 2004 along with her husband, Vladislav Bakalchuk, as a website that sold clothes from European smokups.

Over the years, Wildberries grew into a line from the Russian consumer economy, with nearly 10,000 pickup points opening across the country and more than half of the nation's population making purchases at least once a month. Mr. Putin's invasion of Ukraine made the platform all the time to operate, as Western companies returned from the market. In 2024, Ms. Kim navigated a merger with a Russian outdoor

advertising firm that was reportedly mediated by the Kremlin. The deal was determined as a corporate staff by her husband. At one point, he showed up at the Wildberries office in Moscow with a retinue of armed Cheshens, leading to a shootout that left two people dead and seven wounded. Ms. Kim and Mr. Bakalchuk finalized their drones the following year.

Faced with a new, broader crews, Ms. Kim, 50, is scrambling to adapt.

In her video address, she said Wildberries was moving to deventrader its distribution and reusing its logistics infrastructure as quickly as possible. In an online post on Thursday, she said the company was holding meetings with regional governments and others, asking that "broad support measures at the federal level are also being actively developed."

The company has made two rounds of voluntary payouts to more than 80,000 small and medium-size redress and rolled out lim-

ded insurance that sellers can buy for drone attacks. The Russian government is also working on an aid package for Wildberries' sellers that will involve tax breaks and grace periods. Airlines features the deputy finance minister, said last week.

But while sellers are finding some relief, Ms. Kim's staff is now worried about their safety. One 24-year-old Wildberries warehouse worker from St. Petersburg, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of security concerns, said the bad left a terrible inner fear as Ukrainian drones blew up Wildberries facilities in the region.

After the one where she worked and another later her house were hit, she decided to stop working there, even though she had liked the job.

The independent entrepreneur who sell goods through Wildberries are also having anxiety.

Katerina Kereks, 44, had built a business selling bobs jewelry

from Asia that grew successful enough to support her family of five.

She lost about a third of her inventory, including her most expensive artisan papers, in the first Ukrainian strike on a Waltherian warehouse, near Moscow, last month. She still had many items stored elsewhere, but as many Wildberries warehouses were blown up by the day, she was unable to retrieve her merchandise.

Then, an attack last week on Wildberries warehouse in Tula, south of Moscow, took out half of her merchandise. Today, only about 100 of her roughly 2,000 items are available for sale, she said.

For the first time in her life, she has sought the help of a previous trial, she said.

"It you live in a country that is a war, it would be strange to expect that it wouldn't get you at some point," Ms. Kereks said. She added that she was trying to take it as a lesson, "to lead it to cope with situations where nothing depends on

you, where you can't do anything and you just hang out in this uncertainty."

Ms. Kim is also facing pressure from the competition. Industry workers are already seeing signs that sellers are feeling to listen, Russia's second-largest e-commerce platform, which has a more decentralized logistics setup and has not been singled out by Kyiv.

In many places, Wildberries is still functioning normally. The company has neck a sophisticated logistics and I.T. infrastructure that is in our going to trial supply because it enables us to't warehouses have been damaged or destroyed, and a former Wildberries executive who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of previous contractual obligations.

While Ukraine has accused Wildberries of selling military-related goods, including replacement parts for drones and navigation equipment, Ms. Kim has denounced the strikes as "attacks on peaceful people."

Wildberries explicitly says as its value that sales of weapons and armaments are prohibited.

Still, many supporters and family members of Russian soldiers have been known to buy equipment such as body armor and helmets from the sea. Drones and other armor that can be used on the front are available.

A review by The New York Times found that first-person-view drones were far safe on the site in early August, as were spoils of blue-eyes cable, which can be attached to drones to guide them.

One being — marked as "out of stock" — offered a drone with a dropping system for explosives. In the "spontane" section, some users expressed legal concerns. Others reported about bulk discounts, naming the Russian military unit for which they intended to buy the drone.

One review, using a Russian slang term for Ukrainian soldiers, said: "Drone is good, shape the Ukropa 1/2017. The Times was unable to verify whether any of the drones were purchased or shipped.

One potential buyer asked in the questions section whether the drones might sound for the special military operation, the Kremlin's term for the war. The seller replied, "Huhh, yes."

One or two of the ships that Germany sank in the Danube to block a Soviet advance in 1944 appear above the water's surface most summers. This year, record has been lessened the water level so much that numbers of Prahovo, Serbia, have seen a dozen. On Thursday, Serbian authorities began pulling the fleet out, as a safety measure.

Nazi-Era Ships Surfacing in Danube Pose Hazard

By LYNNY CRUTEL

and ALISA DINGERHARDTEN

BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbia has started pulling a sunken Nazi-era fleet out of the Danube River, where heaviest water levels caused by German heat have occurred some of the vessels and created a headache for captains trying to navigate around them.

Near the end of World War II Germany sank more than 200 of its own ships in the Danube in eastern Serbia, trying to block the Soviet Union's forces as they advanced up the river. One or two watered hides have pushed above the water's surface nearly every moment.

This year, however, residents of the nearby part town of Prahovo have counted at least a dozen — the latest visible sign that heat waves in Europe are becoming more frequent and more brutal.

"The wrecky appear almost every year, sometimes more, sometimes less," said Igor Mochic, a local fisherman. "But this year the water level is extremely low, so ships have emerged that do not usually appear every year."

The Danube, Europe's second-largest river, winds through the countries, from Germany's Black

Forest to the Black Sea. Record heat in Central and Eastern Europe has led to lower water levels in the real shipping route, making it difficult to navigate to Serbian or Eritsiy, temperatures hovered between 85 and 94 d degrees Fahrenheit.

On Thursday, the Serbian government removed the first of the sunken Nazi-era vessels, a midtown in an effort that began to drift and that the government said at the time could cost 22 million more.

The ships made it the Germans included minersweepers, patrol boats and artillery vessels, as well as tugboats, transport harges, landing craft and various support vessels. They were part of a convoy that retreated up the Danube toward Hungary and Austria in September 1944.

The resulting water levels have made the salvage operation even more slightly. Some of the vessels are believed to carry unimpealed ordnance, posing additional risk to passing boats and making a salvage mission more dangerous.

"For the first time in 90 years, we have carried out of those ships today, and now we are going to close all of them," President Aleksandar Vucic of Serbia said on

Thursday. He added that 60 of the ships would be salvaged, promising a cleanup afterward that could make the waters of the Danube in harbor. "At that as they are in Viscount."

The falling water levels have already slowed trade. Mr. Vucic has said. Some parts of the crew had become in shallow that the air-

thorities had to create temporary channels.

"If the Danube drops another 10 centimeters — we are finished," Mr. Vucic said in a statement last month.

Heat is also scorching after countries in the region. In Hungary, the Danube's resulting levels nearly forced the shuttles of the Palo nuclear power plant, Prime Minister Peter Wagner said on social media on Thursday, he found, where temperatures reached over 104 degrees, Prime Minister Don-

alé Tusk urged companies to let employees work from home or take precautions to protect them.

Further optimism, the Slovakia police demanded a 1,340-pound World War II bomb that appeared on the Danube-voiced. The police said that weapons was identified as a British guard at mine from approximately 1944.

Serbia has not officially declared a drought, but the Danube's levels are more than three feet lower than they would usually be at the time of year, according to Mikolás Avraevics, a meteorologist. Copsy like wheat, soybeans and mallowers have also suffered, he said.

"A meaningful recovery would require several consecutive days of widespread rainfall," said Mr. Avraevics, who is a founding member of the Export Council of the National Ecological Association, a non-governmental organization. "Unfortunately, such a weather pattern is not currently in sight."

In Prahovo, Hans Markovic, who surrogates river vessels, noticed in the spring that the Danube was already lost. Mr. Markovic said he recognized several of the vessels that are now visible, including the wreckage of

two submarines.

In the autumn of 1944, Germans forces retreating to Central Europe and the Danube to transport troops, personnel and equipment, according to Bryan Dragicevic, an author and the producer of the documentary series "The Hidden Danube."

Canada to pass much of the fleet through the Overlap Corps, distances on the Iron Gases, between Serbs and Romania, captains decided to sink the ships, hoping to slow the Soviet forces advanced on them. Historians believe 200 vessels, including patrol boats, minersweepers and barges, were sent to the riverbed.

"The wrecky represent a short-time capsule," Mr. Dragicevic said. "After more than 10 years, the Danube is still revealing stories that have not yet been ruled out."

Zoran Levric, who transports hazardous waste down the Danube, said he expected water levels to fall even more over the next two months.

Johnally, he expressed hope that the river might yield a more enticing discovery. "Maybe something else will emerge," he said. "Perhaps a client of gold."

Canada Offers U.S. Secessionists In Trade Plan

By NIK KOTEK

OTTAWA — Canada has offered the Young administration a package of trade proposals in hopes of preventing 50 percent tariffs that the United States plans to impose in less than two weeks, according to two people familiar with Canada's stance in foothills with Washington.

The government of Prime Minister Mark Carney is offering specific concessions, including, repealing a tariff on U.S.-made autos introduced in evaluation for a similar U.S. measure, according to the two people who were headed as the negotiations.

The Canadian government hopes to significantly lower current tariffs and has stressed that it will not agree to a piecemeal arrangement, according to the two people who asked not to be named discussing confidential matters.

Speaking to reporters in Quebec on Thursday, Mr. Carney ruled out doing deals just on specific accounts.

"We're not interested in a very targeted deal," he said. "We're interested in a more comprehensive deal, more global deal."

After months with little discussion between the two countries, meetings resumed last week in Washington and have, at times, co-ended American forces, the United States' trade representatives, and Senator LeBlanc, the Canadian cabinet minister responsible for trade with the United States.

Mr. Young signed an executive order which, 45 governors effect as planned on Aug. 10, will cover a vast array of Canadian experts, including alcohol. It will not affect oil, natural gas, the fertilizer potash and other natural resources used by American industry.

"As detailed trade discussions between our two countries are ongoing, we will not comment on specifics," Gideon Bryant, Mr. Le Blanc's spokesman, said in a statement. "Canadian departments make to reach a comprehensive deal that addresses sectoral tariffs and benefits Canadian workers, barriers and businesses."

After months of little contact, the two sides have been actively engaged over the last two weeks and are treating Aug. 10 as a serious deadline, the people familiar with the talks said.

Canada's promoting Washington to drop plans for tariffs on 120 billion levels of Canadian experts and reduce current tariffs of up to 50 percent on Canadian steel, aluminum and some, the two people said. Canada also wants Washington to contact co-owning the five trade agreement between Canada, the United States and Mexico.

Carney to create Canadian media reports, the country's negotiations have not offered to return American wine and spirits to the desires of government-owned commercial liquor. On Saturday, to one of the people headed, Mr. Carney has no control over the move, which Mr. Young has cited as a source for his latest tariffs.

Second, Mr. Canadian have told that American counterparts that the harvest by eight of Canada's 10 provinces will only end if Mr. Carney can present these governments to the same introductory trade deal, the two people said. "Our condition has also been attached to resolving American complaints that the provinces discontinue against U.S. companies when amending contracts."

Canada will not sign any agreement that doesn't address tariffs on the air industry, a major employee in Ontario, the most popular in the country.

The Canadian package includes measures to ensure the supply of critical materials from Canada to the United States, as well as co-operation on energy and defense, one of the people headed said. The latter may include Canadian participants in Mr. Young's proposed "Golden Stone" outside defense system.

Canada is also willing to discuss how it allocates more than allow American farmers and dairies to ship the river to Canada, another of Mr. Young's recent complaints, according to one of the people.

The package of proposals is broadly similar to one Canada presented last October, according to the two people headed with the talks. The United States withdrew from negotiations after Ontario stated ads on American television featuring the 10 President of the Reagan denouncing tariffs.

Canada is looking for a "political agreement" rather than a formal trade treaty with the U.S. administration, one of the people said. Not only would that not require Congressional approval, he said, but it would be much easier to attend before a future administration.

Tactics India's Riot Police Used to Forcibly Stop a March on Parliament

This article is by Anupam Jain, Mumtaxi Nanda and James Wang.

NEW DELHI — When they speak of unarmed students, man-hired toward the Indian Parliament, building fast mouth in a cave challenge to the government, they were met by a wall of six police officers determined to stop them.

The main had to be had a measure of the area, initially slowing the emergence of details of the crackdown. But videos taken by prisoners and witnesses began circulating, revealing that several forces beat people with sticks and fired tear gas and pellet guns at them. The footage led to accusations of excessive force being swelled against peaceful demonstrators.

The New York Times has verified and analyzed charges and will re-burage shared by prisoners, along with witness accounts, to examine how the Delhi Police, the Rapid Action Force and other paramilitary forces handled the crowds. Several Times reporters were also present at the scene of July 25, the day of the march.

The evidence suggests that security forces exceeded many guidelines for law enforcement in peaceful demonstrations established by the United Nations and also those from India's home industry, which state that local "should be used when it is absolutely necessary it should be minimum and proportional to the situation."

What public health is not an usual in India, especially against minority groups, there was public outrage over how the authorities expressed a real crowd of young persons demanding a minimum for the nation's flawed education system. Protect regulators said by least 120 participants were hospitalized and many more injured. Many individuals were at the same opposition in the lower house of Parliament, has maintained the use of "brain" force, saying, "the assault on students is a state on the nation's riot country."

The Delhi Police has said that no provisions had been sought to granted for the march, which demonstrators called for after several bombings, and the government at a riot near Parliament. The police said the man is was "not too prohibited" and that force had been used as a last resort. They said that the riots of the police have injured and that 70 people had been detained for violations of

law and order. The Delhi Police did not respond to requests for comment on the video findings documented by The Times.

Security forces used police — long butane made out of families or post-craftsmen — total protesters, a racist, community and co-courier crowds if they became unruly and don't respond to whether or want-

The policeman treated on like criminals," said Dheeraj Kararia,

Among the tools used by the Delhi Police, the Rapid Action Force and other paramilitary forces to disperse supporters of the Cockroach Junta Party on July 20 were long butane and tear gas.

an undergraduate student at Delhi's Material College who had joined the march and used a police officer had struck him on the shoulder several times. "They hurled all kinds of abuse at or and tried to as if we were unkind."

Mr. Kararia, 24, continued to visit his present site until July 25, when India's education initiative reigned, leading to the end of the demonstrations. By then, there long waits on Mr. Kararia's shoulder had turned into their brains.

Unarmed Protesters

Several members of India's Rapid Action Force, who control and at an armed police force, were also blamed defying protesters with his foes.

At least three R.A.F personnel wearing helmets and a wickel shields took little lifting at an armed man who was not fighting back.

Tear Gas

Tear gas, which irritates the eyes, thrives and lungs, was widely used to break up large crowds gathered in the areas adjacent to the design of the work site. U.S. guidelines say tear gas should never be used to disperse peaceful protesters. Typically, the canisters should be fired in an air, and air directly to a car in a crowd, but refuse without by The Times showed security forces releasing tear gas by hand at a lower trajectory.

Public Ruins

The R.A.F personnel also fired yellow guns, first used in India in 2010 against protesters in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir, a 1,000,000 engine also claimed by Pakistan. Those guns, which spray dozens of small metal pellets, or bedcloth, at a time, can cause severe injuries.

In 1974, a R.A.F officer is seen pointing his gun at someone out of the camera frame, and the wound of firing can be heard.

In another video, a man stands in a policeman where the R.A.F officer was seen being a pallor gun down at least 20 small red punks are wounds on his abdomen.

The Delhi Police has said no police guns were used, but local media have reported that it has since begun an inquiry into their use. The R.A.F has not commented on whether the guns were used. Gynation's Putting Singh, the director general of the Central Reserve Police Force, states which the R.A.F art, had in specific treatment that he would bear responsibility for serious conducted in the "hoax fate discharges of duty."

Non-Retail

Many protesters who were detained or targeted by security forces in Delhi or elsewhere have died postures with the Supreme Court, accusing the security forces of brutality and seeking punishment for those involved. The leaders of the Cockroach Junta Party — a once satirical group that led the police movement — have urged protesters to preserve videos and photo on envelopes, saying that dozens of people detained could face changes despite government assurances that they would not be.

While hearing postures filed by protesters on July 25, the Supreme Court of India said that more details in an "evidence-based inquiry" into whether excessive force was used.

British Honor After Century's Neglect

By LEO SANDER

LONDON — The young soldier died fighting for Britain, yet he over a century he did not appear on the country's official list of war dead.

According to his family King, Hugh left his village in India — a British colony at the time — to fight a long time. The British World War I life never returned, and few details of his life and military service were known beyond the manner as of his wife and two young sons.

That changed this manner, when Mr. Hugh became one of nearly 10,000 Punjabi soldiers whose researchers identified the having died for Britain in that war without being recognized for it by the authorities — the result of her resurrected failings that historically was reflected in the trend of cultural administration towards one British troops from its empire.

"These men served favorably they died badly, and they weren't affected the same treatment as the other men whom they served alongside," said Anandreg Mishra. A British historian and the chairman of the UK Punjab Heritage Association, who helped lead the research effort.

Hail a million Punjabi soldiers took part in the gruelling theophrama campaign in 1956 to 1956, halting the Ottoman War to capture another war force and its strategy of battle in the British Empire. About 15 million soldiers from the Indian subcomers met served in the British Indian Army during the war.

For more than a century, the officials maintained careful casualty lists of British troops who were killed in the two world wars, more than a million in total. But the same efforts were not afforded to over 100,000 soldiers and other personnel who died for the crown, but baled from colonies, primarily in Asia and Africa.

The handwritten names of the group of Punjabi soldiers were uncovered in archives at the Labour Museum in Pakistan, which is a walled that identities, their homelessness and in some cases the circumstances of their deaths.

The discovery is a result of a retarding effort by historians and the authorities to address racial inequities in how Britain has commissioned its war dead.

For the description of King, Hugh, his resurrected success an omission in the funeral record.

"I find a lot more complete," said his great-grandson Dr. India, Hugh Padary, a dentist from Leicester, England, who re-

searched his ancestors's fate for years without finding answers.

According to the newly underlined records, Mr. Hugh died from similar wounds sustained in Ottoman territory as he traveled home with the regiment. The records did not specify his age or date of death.

His omission stemmed from a combination of discriminatory attitudes and the practical challenges of record keeping in a industry conflict that spanned three continents, said George Day, the official historian at the Commonwealth War Graves' Commission, which was established in 1957 to list and communicate the deaths of service members who fought for Britain in the two world wars.

Mr. Day's predecessors had tried to obtain the names of fallen Indian soldiers, he said, but they were admitted by cultural administration who seemed unable or unwilling to produce complete list of the immediate afterwards of the war.

Another challenge was inconsistent rules for which deaths occurred as war casualties. Unlike some British counterparts, Indian servicemen who died outside the conflict zone — including from insurers to disease matrimony to combat — were not considered by the authorities to be worthy of commemoration, Mr. Hay said.

The lack of official recognition was partly because of racism, an inquiry found in 1955.

The latest research effort began in 2014, when Mr. Mishra learned of the archives in the Labour Museum. With the help of archiving, historians of the University of Greenwich and volunteers of the Punjab heritage association, researchers were able to digitize the

collection and cross-reference the list with the Commonwealth War Graves' Commission's records.

After screening for duplications, the researchers identified 9,000 soldiers from the historical Punjab state, who died in World War I that did not appear on the official list.

After verifying the names, the commission added them to its register last month, the largest single update to the casualty record in 80 years. Mr. Hay said the commission would provide place the names on some form of physical memorial.

The list also paved the way for descendants to conduct independent research. Dr. Hugh Padary learned that his great-grandfather had served in the 2nd 1956 Protocol, a regiment that fought in the theophrama campaign.

That detail could enable him to track down when the regiment was returning to India, offering an approximate date for his great-grandfather's death. "That's what I would like to find out," he said. "It just adds more choice to the whole story he on, for our family history."

The decisions by the commission does not appear to enable any descendants to claim at war positions, which were distributed to families of deceased soldiers by the long defunct British Indian Government.

Interesting further details about the fallen soldiers broaden the memory of the conflict in the popular imagination, Mr. Mishra said.

The world war was a world war, and there were people from all around the world fighting in it," he said, "including people that looked like me."

Missedull Sikh and British servicemen in Southampton, England, in 1954. The names of nearly 10,000 Punjabi soldiers who died in World War I were added last month to an official list.

War in the Middle East

Inside the Drive to Choke Off the Finances of Hezbollah

From Page 1

was the second in less than three years between Israel and Hezbollah, one of the world's most heavily armed nations. In the previous conflict, which began in late 2015, Israel killed Hezbollah's longtime leader, Hassan Ziawallah, along with many other top figures in the movement.

Insuing that moment, leaders of Washington and Israel ensued that Hezbollah was vulnerable and coordinated their efforts to clamp down on its funding. They were after the financial networks that had long underpinned the group's power, while also turning up the pressure on Lebanese government to shaven Hezbollah.

While the wars with Hamas in Gaza and Iran have drawn global attention, the financial experience of Hezbollah represents a quarter from its a campaign by Washington and Israel about a crippled Taliban's ability to project power through its group subdue across the Middle East.

Founded in 1982, Hezbollah has long stood as the crown jewel of that network.

The group's finances are secretive, and the full extent to which the crackdown has affected its real operations remains unclear. Both Hezbollah and its chief leaders Iran, have also proven to admit in the face of the shift of a weaken them, able to bounce back, suddenly and to find new ways to keep the money flowing.

Nevertheless, Hezbollah is not leading to Hamas as a potential social welfare network, which has long underpinned its ongoing mining in State Muslim base in Lebanon. The group has also increasingly prioritized military spending, after Israel's offensive took a heavy toll on its republicans.

Hezbollah's chief spokesman, Samuel al-Zora, told The New York Times in May that the group had halted the competition in primaries it had pledged to implement as it struggles to meet the needs of Israeli-ish of the maids of people displaced by the war.

The State Department estimated before the war that Israel leading to Hezbollah was about $700 million per year, providing a majority of the group's billion-dollar annual budget. Iran has increased its financial support for Hezbollah over the past year, according to Lebanese U.S. and Israeli officials, but the money is still on enough to cover Hezbollah's considerable war-related expenses.

"The scale of the battle's demands and the displacement have placed significant burdens on Hezbollah," Mr al-Zora said, as a result, "whenever are being managed according to proof of the added 'There is undoubtedly pressure, but Hezbollah is able to overcome it'."

A strong Lebanon in the People The crackdown on Hezbollah's finances began in search in late 2014. Even after a U.S. unrelated ceasefire halted the Israeli Hezbollah war, the leaders left in the decisive Bashar al-Assad's regime in neighboring Syria left the group more isolated than ever from Tehran.

Hezbollah had lost a crucial smuggling route at precisely the moment it needed money to rebuild and sustain its operations.

For decades, Hezbollah created a state within a state in Lebanon — one that led, formed and paid its local followers. It had a media network, established hospitals and schools, drew revenue from gas stations and pharmaceutical companies and amassed an annual more powerful than the state's own industry with Iran's financial backing.

But when the Syrian land evasion in Lebanon was effectively restored, Iran scrambled to that other network, including the group according to U.S. and Israeli officials and people familiar with the Israelian's business.

Iran turned to Beirut's airport, which has years had disastrously secreted under Hezbollah's control and was used to receive Iranian funding, and Iran, as a result, was U.S. official and a senior Lebanese official located on the market.

But U.S. and Israeli officials were on that trail.

Under the 1990, U.S. officials retained an Israeli warning to Lebanese government. Iran was used as a cashier to control the U.S. state for the Hezbollah on civilian flights in Jordan, and the U.S. was carried by Iranian diplomats — according to two Lebanese officials and the Israeli official U.S. officials declared to comment. The warning left Iran to be stopped all flights from Iran, a measure that remains unclear.

When Ali Larijani, Iraq's national security chief, visited Lebanon last August, fascinating with Prince Minnani, Murad Salam, showed just how much had it paid Israeli the country.

"Our message to the Iranians was very clear," Mr Salam said in an interview with The Times not long after the visit. "He cannot allow the Iranians to interfere in our domestic affairs," he added.

"This wasn't much to their ears," he said.

Mr Larijani was killed months later in the U.S.-Israel war with Iran

Oversight of the Cash Economy

Washington then turned its rights on Lebanese control bank, an opaque institution that had long operated with little scrutiny. Lebanon operates as a largely cash-based economy, which the U.S. Treasury Department says Hezbollah has expanded to{number that a funds and transit money from Iran.

Last year, the Trump administration번호ed its influence through treatment of a new Lebanese control bank governor, according to a senior Lebanese official located on the process. U.S. administration officials did not respond to a square for comment on their role.

The new governor, Karam Jemaid, quickly proved himself willing to move against Hezbollah. He admitted to fired top-bank officials suspected of this to the group, ordering his office swept for listening devices and refusing to use bank-issued computers and those of no civilians, according to a senior control bank official and an internal memo obtained by The Times.

The control bank did not respond to a request for comment.

With the new U.S.-backed governor in place, the control bank started an investigation into the country's largest money service businesses and then suspected not by Hezbollah to move funds, according to internal documents issued by The Times and the senior control bank official.

Since the investigation began, the Lebanese authorities have tightened oversight of money transfers.

Hezbollah was able to continuously generate substantial amounts of money through the areas of these networks, Khan S. Nelson, a former top Treasury official who oversaw sanctions on the group under the Beirut administration, and is no clear news.

Hezbollah's media editor called the claims that it had explored Lebanese cash-based economy "false and entirely baseless."

"While the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Lebanese money exchange is not November, it said Iran had already founded around 15 billion units in the Arab world, nearly through the Israeli method."

Hassan Abdullah, according to whom the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on and described as a "my Hezbollah financial adviser," told The Times that the international pressure of Iran's leader is now a new money but that Hezbollah was adapting.

"In a country like Lebanon, where there's a large amount of money there are always possibilities," he said.

Feeling the Flesh

As the crackdown picked up speed, Hezbollah's welfare sys-

tem began to show signs of strain. Hezbollah officials and Israelites, Iran told The Times that while salaries are largely still being paid in the time of thousands of tightness, some social services have been collected at the group (majority in spending).

Hezbollah has tried to drum up cash where it can.

In February, weeks before the latest Israeli-Hezbollah war began, the Treasury Department said minor officials from Al-Qaad al-Hassan, Hezbollah, on face bank, had established a chain of gold-making companies to maintain. Larijani reviewed by The Times and assessments by analysts who read, Hezbollah's new economy indicated that gold-collection climbed over the past year. One reason Hezbollah's ability to turn gold into cash was that it could, nevertheless, lead development of Hezbollah's foreign currency and gold reserves, according to Israel and U.S. officials.

Last year, Lebanon barred the country's banks and brokerages from the Arab with its hard-strikes, further isolating Hezbollah from the Israeli financial system.

Hezbollah of thousands of Lebanese people, under of three Hezbollah supporters, rely on Al-Qaad al-Hassan for unrestricted access and real-reports companies, firm reporters. The organization described itself as a charitable building association rather than a bank, and its director has said that Hezbollah maintains separate and independent finances.

Still, the Trump administration is now pushing Lebanese governors not to dislike it altogether.

Hassan, a task driver from southern Lebanon whose daughter was married to a Hezbollah fighter, failed during the war of wars, said that although she was still receiving the highest rate of compensation of Arab fighters, the organization is no longer creating some medical procedures. Like thousands of supporters whose human were destroyed, Hassan said he was still waiting on preempt financial support.

After the 2018 war, Hezbollah and Al-Qaad al-Hassan would also release $12,000 to $14,000 per household to families whose human were destroyed. But those payments, apparently delayed, have now been halted entirely, according to the Hezbollah spokesman, Mr al-Zora.

"They are totally silent," Hassan said.

Iran's List

Of Demands Delays Action On Waterway

This article is by Rajshahi Bolkali, Leib Mkhumazir and Aaron Rosserman.

A top Iranian national security official delivered a sweeping set of demands on Saturday that he said the United States must meet before the Street of Thomas can develop maritime traffic, throwing the line of the critical trade waterway into question.

Mohammed Ragher Zalghadi, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, issued a statement carried by state media listing net multiple requirements for reopening the struts. He called for the United States to lift a license because said sanctions on Iran, withdrew the U.S. military from around Iran, pay war regulations and other forces from Iranian assets, as well as cost attacks on Iran's allies on the region and ferries against the country.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Iran's demands. A previous ceasefire between Iran and the United States, agreed to a loan, had said that sanctions came to halt. How easy is the event of a final deal regarding Iran's nuclear program, and U.S. officials have said in the past that Iran could access its frozen lands and its communities, and trying to highly enriched uranium from.

The statement from Mr. Zalghadi came on Iran and those have been negotiating the future management of the Street of Thomas, which cuts between the two countries. Iran effectively closed the struts to rebalance its being attacked by the United States and Israel in February.

Mr. Zalghadi's list of demands operated expectations that a deal with Iran would be rather more numerous to flow through the struts may leave and raise global energy prices. They will likely put pressure on President Trump to run the trade conditions that Iran's to lower consumer prices for Americans, which pose a risk for the American demand of November's modern elections.

Even before Mr. Zalghadi's statement, Iranian officials had hinted on Saturday that the reopening of the struts was not imminent. Hossein Moballah, a spokesman for Iran's Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps, said that reopening the struts was "not contingent on the Iran-Oman negotiations."

In comment carried by Tasnim, an Iranian news outlet affiliated with the Guards, Mr. Moballah said that it would depend "on the United States fully accepting Iran's conditions." He did not specify these conditions, other than to say that the United States must not interfere in Iran's negotiations with other countries.

When Azaghchi, Iran's foreign country, said an insurgency that Iran and Oman were "very close" to an agreement, according to Tasnim.

"However, the reopening of the struts at Restless is contingent on other conditions, including the United States compromising for its violations under Islamabad Memorandum," Mr. Azaghchi was told on an saying, referring to the Iran-U.S. cease-fire deal signed in June.

"The June agreement — a "narrow random of understanding" produced by Pakistan meditators in Islamabad — called for the opening of the Struts of Thomas and the reopening of the struts of sanctions on Iran. Yet the death language was vague, and the United States and Iran had differing interpretation.

The United States had found a southern route for ships that altered himself, coauthor and several Iranian wastes, and Iran responded by roaming and striking ships that took that route. The cease-fire zone collapsed, and the United States reopened its naval forces over the same period.

"The Americans were seeking to establish new routes through the Great of Human, and despite the warnings issued by the United States, we sought to understand Iran's management of the struts," Mr. Azaghchi said. "Therefore, any violation of the memorandum of understanding as of Iran's main purpose is a result of Human is absolutely unacceptable to the Islamic Republic of Iran."

Mr. Azaghchi said that Iran and Oman were also seeking a temporary route through the struts, and that the two countries' initiatives were negotiating the specifics.

The statement from Iranian officials could be part of an effort to manage domestic political concerns. Mr. Azaghchi and the Iran-engravations, Hassan Pocushkian, and the United States have been handsomely who oppose any deal with the United States.

War in the Middle East

Their Islands Were to Be Decolonized. Then the U.S. Bombed Iran.

PORT LOUIS, Mauritius — Bombard Releasinger was a 'when British soldiers showed up at her family's home on the Chagos Islands and told them they had to leave.

To make way for a joint British and American military base on the islands in the middle of the Indian Ocean, Ms. Rahouna and most of the roughly 2,000 inhabitants were sent on an upheaval journey to Mauritius, and never allowed to return.

That was nearly ten decades ago, she said.

Now the two Chagos Archipelago so caught in a propellated battle involving President Trump, British officers, China and the war in the Middle East.

But Trump initially supported the British plan to ratify a treaty that would permit the islands to Mauritius. But he withdrew his support shortly before the United States, and the U.S. government, saying he did not want to relinquish control of the joint military base on Diego Garcia, an and of the Chagos Archipelago.

The islands remain largely uninhabitable and still exists, except for the U.S. in the United States. The White House told The New York Times to a statement last month that Mr. Trump would 'turn' the low the U.S. presence at Diego Garcia. In his understanding of threatened for any reason.

Officials in Washington and London have raised concerns that shifting the treaty could create an opening for China to build its own base on the Chagos Islands.

As the debate rages, people have on the islands say time for them to remain up. Only a few hundred are still alive, and they fear that if they are not allowed to return, their culture and history will be lost.

They say they want to visit the cities of their ancestors, and swim in the same turquoise waters and walk the same white sand beaches.

No Day in the Future

Survivors of the capulotes are themselves in disagreement about the archipelago's future.

Jesus, like Joanna Andrew, 50 and been on the islands, say that Mauritian American fall, overeagerly, and that make British rule, "we were not given the right to go back."

Others, like Ms. Rahouna, would rather see the islands remain under British control. Ms. Rahouna argues that the dangerous community has been discriminated against at Mauritius, including being sent to live in island by the government after they were displaced.

The majority of the 1.5 million people on Mauritius are thanks, but the main language is French, with much mostly speaking a Creton language. Chagosians belong to a broader Creton ethnicity — people of African descent raised with other races.

Yet with the lives we and unconsciously held China, they fear they won't have much say in what comes next.

American Transpulsion

The British Parliament must approve the treaty for it to take effect, including agreement for Britain to pay Mauritius more than $10 million a year to leave Diego Garcia. But Barclay, the former British prime minister, had said he would not move that process forward without the Trump administration request.

It is unclear how the new prime minister, Andy Burnham, will proceed.

Duanagan Rantul, the foreign minister in Mauritius, said that during a meeting in April, he assured Christopher Landau, American deputy secretary of state, that the United States would maintain access to the base and all national security about China.

He said Mr. Landau told Iran in response that the United States had a number of new sites: "but needed to finalize" certain security support," with Britain.

Brian Johnson, an assistant secretary in the state Department of State, said that he would "a great mis-characterization" of Mr. Landau's comments. He added that the United States valued it, partnership with Mauritius, and Mr. Landau was prepared to continue collaborating in security matters.

But all Britain fail to ratify the treaty. Mauritius may escalate the issue, and forces slavery, the country's attorney general.

Wide impact on Thinning Of U.S. Arms Stockpiles

U.S. has "more than enough live power to carry out any operation for president orders of any kind and place" that reports any documentation come — just of which Mr. Trump admitted from President Joseph R. Biden Jr. — is almost certain to outlaw her presidency.

Tom Karalis, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said the depletion of anamnesis was a "great deal and anamnesis of the means of conventional deterrence." The impact on how decisions are made in Beijing and Moscow, he said, could resonate with the press.

"It's impossible for that not to have a significant difference the decision takutko of Russia and China," said Mr. Karalis, a member of the United States's European stockpiles. "They may do something quite deliberate and at the time of the war, denying, because keep in mind — we're going to take years to reconstitute the war."

Increasing in the head-up to the lean was, then, Don Czino, the president of the United States, said that, "I think, that would be permitted to fly risks of digging deeper and drained stockpiles, according to the officials with knowledge of the war, and that would be the right to be called to go ahead, believing the war would be over quickly, spokesman for General Czino. Should it continue in the private interest of the United States?

The Trump administration has worked with military contractors — for its accordance and expand production.

The current U.S. economy of these minded is fewer than 1,500, according to two people to enter on the stockpile who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military details.

Mr. Trump has been occupied about news stories covering the smartness shortages. He has ordered a huge look back across his government and is demanding criminal prosecutions. He has sold advisers in private that any discussions of the smartness criticising him would be made to the country's own man, and he continues to publicize the issue, deep it exists at follow the public issue.

The fundamental problem, analysis said, is that Russia has capped up its missile production to a greater extent than Ukraine's Western supporters have been able to manufacture an defense. The Iran war exacerbated the mismatch.

Representative Jason Crow, a Colorado Democrat who sits on the House Armed Services and Intelligence Committee, said the "ambiguous" U.S. defense procurement process "doesn't allow us to actually keep pace with the rapidly evolving nature of action." He said: "Frankly, our adversaries don't have these hindrances."

The United States and its allies have begun to hand an defense missiles amid the global supply crunch. Mr. Trump asked for a reporter at the Oval Office on Thursday about Mr. Zelensky's plan to move missiles, shot back: "We

Mr. Trump regularly blames Mr. Biden's support for Ukraine for any shortfalls in the way of the streets. He said in social media on Thursday that the U.S. had "made even amounts of manitious, especially of certain types."

It is not clear, but the United States has a vast arsenal of less advanced manitious, including ever since the war. The U.S. has developed from aircraft, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. The problem with many of these weapons is that they must be released into their targets, putting complaints of risk of getting that down.

High-end cruise missiles reveal that risk because they can be released from hundreds of other ways. But the U.S. military largely exhausted its results of certain cases of long-range war, including Army Tactical Missile Systems, or A2M-3M, and Russian Strike-Missiles — during the Iran war, official said.

It is the saying that the world for critical is a war against China or Russia, countries with far more advanced air defenses than Iran. Both governments are leading U.S. stockpiles closely, estimating

Even if Mr. Trump's successes want to a camp up ad to Ukraine, Mr. Koro added, "doing so will be responsible for the injury of people."

South of the Border in Dillon, S.C., a throwback to an era of oddball highway attractions, offers alligators in a reptile exhibit and a range of treats and games to dowel trenches.

Boorish Yet Beloved: Is a Roadside Relic Worth Saving?

By EDUARDO MEDINA

DELLOX, S.C. — On a long, long highway, right where one land turns into another, a place called South of the Border has restricted watery trenches for generations, beckoning them with a towering neon-lit sumitores. Underneath its brain-draught and cosmic and instantaneous serving has two, more and longer lives.

The border in question is the one between North and South Carolina, And the approximation of Mexican culture that the real stop offers has the feel of a Speedy Gunnalen cartoon, or if Wally Wonita decorated for Cinco de Mayo.

"What is this place?" Some Considues recalled asking his friend in the 1870s, when he first visited. Now he was those again, listed by nostalgia.

Indeed, South of the Border in Dillon, S.C., is a role of American road travel, winning underwater highway soldiers like Walt Drug in North Dakota and her world's largest of just about anything across the Midwest.

It looks back to a different time in the South, before the region drowned and exploded in growth.

Now, authentic Latin American spots abound, as do popular chains like Becer's and Worm, adding to the many challenges for the aging attraction.

And at a time when the country is mixed in defiance over immigration and identity, the historic Mexican aesthetic that South of the Border continues its its early years feels culturally fraught.

The business challenges have recently taken in more urgency for the owner, Ryan Schuler. He has offers to sell the entire place and spare him the headaches

But then he considers his grandfather Alan, who opened the real stop in 1949 and died in 2001.

"Some days, I want to cash out, go live on a beach in Mexico and open something small out there," said Mr. Schuler, 49 "that it's also kind of a family member. You're supposed to take care of it. You're supposed to honor it."

South of the Border, which spans more than 200 acres, does not fit nearly into one need. There is Pedro, the downtypical, unstatuckned manor, peppered all over the place: Pedro oizines, Pedro bugs, Pedro'sian Tuesday T'ohorts, Pedro baseballs.

But there are also sculptures of dinosaurs in tomberess, a brownish store, a metronau training facility and enough alligators in a reptile exhibit to improve Floridian visitors.

Further children think that description held up?

"That's part of it," said her daughter, Mercedes Tingo, 25, who decided Becer's as too cookie-cutter. "This has charisma."

Mr. Schuler believes that character is worthy, powering, but it is getting harder. In one point, South of the Border's restaurant division alone had 100 employees. Today, the entire business has about 100, and Mr. Schuler has struggled to find workers.

One of the restaurants, the Hot Tamale, burned down in April and will not be rebuilt. The attraction has also downsized, recently dropping its small theme park. About 16 acres of the complex are listed for sale for $2.95 million.

Online, some falsely claim that the alligators are fake, or that Room 305 in the mood is haunted.

"Some of our businesses, I understand very well and don't mind running them," Mr. Schuler said. Others, he added, might as well have instructions in another language.

South of the Border opened at a time when North Carolina banned selling beer in stores. Mr. Schuler's grandfather believed a beer stand right below the state law would be well. Business boosted. Over time, he introduced food and lodging and adopted the Mexican theme.

Mr. Schuler remits envies from his grandfather of how the Ku Klux Klan burned corners in the family's front yard because they were friends and refused to segregate their establishment during Jan. Close.

"Alan met the Klanamen armed with a rifle and told them to go away," Alan Schuler's inner wives in an essay. "To me that is a midwish on steroids."

Over the years, some have found aspects of South of the Border problematic. The manor was named after Mexican men who worked at the attraction decades ago and whom visitors called Pedro, no matter their real names.

Alan Schuler once recalled that the Mexican embassy had complained that the attraction was spreading ethnic stereotypes.

A book about consumer culture in the South captured how Alan faced criticism in the 1960s for having billboards that provided Hispanic accents. He changed them, he said at the time, because "baby boomers do not have a sense of humor."

Rosa Sciapira, 16, who is Mexican American, recently visited after her family was intrigued by the night at a towering, away Pedro stunts.

"I do think it's offensive," she said of the theme, standing underneath the manor's arched legs that straddle the road. But such caricatures, she added, "don't really bother me."

Rosa Schuler, whose politics show left, says he were the aesthetic as celebratory.

He says he has visited Mexico multiple times. Handystring seems to bring back to her business, like pottery and pelatus. And he speaks highly of "hard-working" immigrants in America, saying he wished they had a pathway to legal citizenship.

Most of the people who visit South of the Border aren't familiar with its history. All they know is that its lucky charm is still noted.

"It's kind of like going back to visit where you grew up," said Emmaine Figueroa as she buckled in her two children in the the road again. The family had just purchased sumitores.

Pam Osmolae, 65, has been working at the real stop for 30 years. She said Mr. Schuler had since told her that when "all of us old folks are gone, he's going to close it."

"Lot of things change," she said, opening an old brochure that included a photo of Mr. Schuler as a boy with his family. "But we're still holding us."

In further research, as Claudia Grey was traveling from Connecticut to Florida along 1-95, she told her husband about a strange pit stop she had started decades ago featuring dozens of odd-ball boards.

Suddenly, they spotted one such billboard declaring, "You never manage a place?"

"Oliver gods," she said. "It's still here." Of course, they pulled over.

Skittles, a mouse at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, was nicknamed by stagshawls, who've swapped photos and tales of the mice for years. Right, constructing the center in 1968.

In May, Osmaena Zahr noted in the New York Times review of the symphony's concert version of Paccini's "If Потом" that a mouse "widespread through the orifice in a rock, chinting voice audience members".

An other told Mr. Zahr that of course the center's mice were drawn to the Italian masterwork. Paccini runs in their blood.

The Legend Begins

In the quiet of the center's Grand Forer last month, four stagshawls passed from cleaning the rigging over the allied Millennium biopic's share the story of the mice.

The Kennedy Center was built in a living memorial to the slam President John F. Kennedy, a person of the arts who championed its construction. Amid a siege of great and tribute after his assassination in 1963, more than 50 as bone-drained furrowings and artwork to the center rising on the Potomac.

The largest of these gifts came from Italy: 1,700 tons of dazzling white Carrara marble for the facade and interior walls, specially mixed in Tuscany's Apuan-Alps, in the same area as the marble for Michelangelo's David. The region is home to the Alpine field mosaic and its gouore kin.

For decades Kennedy Center workers have assisted that a few

of these Italian rodents traveled to Washington as the late 1980s, marked in a note carrying the marble shipments.

"We've talked to the post guys that some through and set all the stances up-and-floor to like, 'That is the only place in DC that has there,'" said Thomas Bezos, the head electrician in the Eisenhower Theatre, referring to the tiny Gaines.

The post guys work at a computer called American Post, which declined to comment.

The marble was unpacked and installed between 1960 and 1974, and legend holds that descendants of the Carrara stowaways have been living large in the performing arts center ever since.

"The person who told me the story was a stagshead who was here for the opening of this place," said Annemarie Montini, the chief electrician in the Opera House.

Early last year, Colleen Shannon, who handles lighting in the center's Family Theatre, captured a fleeting image of a reddish tan mouse with her phone, and the stagshawls so bloomed it Skittles. This spring, "I had one run across my crevets while I was running a slam" she said.

"There've just come as the defense," she said. "So stay. The cockroaches are bigger."

Half members have swapped photos and tales of the mice for years, the stagshawls said. Although Washington's many non-veterans and minors and research institutions make it a critical nest of mammalian expertise,

no one they know of had checked out the story.

From Italy, With Straw

Maurice Bufalini ran a quarry in Carrara, Italy, that supplied marble for the Kennedy Center. The contract is a source of pride in the family, which has been in the stone business for more than 100 years. Mr. Bufalini's son Alberto took over the business, now called Bufalini Mores, after he died in 1989.

The Bufalini have supplied marble to a number of notable American structures, including for the marble interior of the World Trade Center towers that were destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attack. In the 500th through the 1870s, Bufalini was a favored supplier of marble to structures designed by Edward David Stone, the Kennedy Center architect.

"It's course we have since here" in the factory, Mr. Bufalini, 16, said in a phone interview last week.

In the late 1960s, the company quarried and packed the slabs of marble, each roughly 4 feet by 4 feet and 5 inches thick, into wooden shipping crates. Stone was used for embossing Each container held 1,200 to 1,500 pounds, meaning more than 1,000 copies of marble covered the Atlanta booklet for the Kennedy Center. The journey took from three weeks to a month.

In the wild the Alpine field mosaic and its but few on insects, plants and seeds, all potentially available in packing straw. It has adapted to its oral environment by retracting water from its food in a metabolic process that allows it to survive for long periods without drinking.

"When we import stone from other countries, for sure you can find insects or a little crutches that has been trapped inside the container," Mr. Bufalini said.

"It is a funny story, and it's also possible but difficult to verify. You could see if the mice eat pasta or not."

'It Is Intriguing'

I took the case to Joel Sartore, who photographed the Alpine field mosaic at the Czech Republic's Plzen Zoo, known for its ruined collection. Mr. Sartore is a photographer and founder of the Photo Arts, a National Geographic supported effort to document all the planet's animals. He works with a network of biologists to identify species for finds in the wild, and so on.

emailed Mr. Shannon's photo of Skittles to Sandra Stockholberger, a mouse specialist at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Not responded to Mr. Sartore within an hour. The Henry photo made it hard to rid whether the mouse or an Italian field mosaic or the local, less exotic white-footed mouse.

All we need is a shell of a dead one, to look at the teeth, though," Mr. Stockholberger wrote.

Mr. Sartore was game. "Maybe someone in maintenance there

knows of one sitting on someone's desk." Mr. Sartore suggested. "Some folks love to save skulls for some reason. I see them of all sizes in the manager offices."

San Milibelland, an electrician in the Opera House who does dra-

ble story cleaning out the mouse traps, did not respond to a toxic message asking whether there were any skulls sitting on desk in the Kennedy Center.

Dorrie Lunde, manned collection manager at the Smithsonian Institute of Museum of Natural History, seemed like the best Washington expert to consult. He has documented more than a few on new species, including two of the New Guinea water rat, and shed new light on hundreds more so expeditious he led in the American, 40-oz and Southeast Asia.

"It's a little far-fetched that only in the Kennedy Center do they have these mice," he said upon hearing the story. "It's like Big Foot. People want to believe in something special."

Then he reviewed Mr. Shannon's photo of Skittles.

"It's intriguing," he said, noting the animal's "strasper" color. "It's much too small to be a white-footed mouse or a dear mouse from the local population."

"It it's anything interesting it's going to be one of the three or four

species of Apodemus living in Italy," he added, using the Latin name for the mouse's green. "It does look like an Apodemus to me, but I'm not saying definitively that's what it is."

"If we could get a specimen in hand, it's not out of the question," he said.

But back at the Kennedy Center the stagshawls said the story, like the people, had grown scarce. Some appeared in the Eisenhower Theatre break room one day last month, despite a full truth bin. The Family Theatre, Skittles's house, was likewise quiet.

Last month, Mr. Milibelland checked the traps. Empty. Referring to the detectable missing loan in some of them, "They know how to chew off the peanut butter," he said.

Maybe the story of the mice, trembled like in a place with an uncertain future, would want up too difficult to prove. Or too good to check.

"I don't want to know," Mr. Shannon said.

Providing Carrara marble for the Kennedy Center was a source of pride in the Bufalini family, which has been in the stone business in Italy for more than 300 years. "Of course we have mice here," the current owner, Alberto Bufalini, said by phone.

The 471b President

How the Reflecting Pool Came to Mirror the Trump Administration

From Page 14

by the Trump administration that involved coating the pool with a sheet of blue polyurea, which the president promised would make a beautiful Within months, though, the pool was drained and ugly in the butt of some cool stream.

Many of the details of the saga are reported in this article for the first time. They show that the pool, which was supposed to be flow from Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, became a striking reflection, instead, of the second Trump administration's willingness to start town, expired millions of dollars, spore facts and)and truth-tellers to service of the president demanded to put on board the pool.

The Interior Department, led by Doug Burgum, headed out as his contrarie and opacified doubts about the costs and risks he might not think. Mr. Trump, private business life, Mr. Schatzendorfer, played an off-the-lands, led in government decisions, a top federal hearing official, Bill Pule, brought Mr. Trump names that encouraged him to keep going.

And when Mr. Trump sought to blame the project's failure on shadowy vandals, Senator Perre, the U.S. attorney in Washington, looked free up by charging members of the public with暗示, "Why to have the cases fall apart."

Even, in place of second child's flare were falsehoods on top of falsehoods, part of Mr. Trump's longtime return to show admitting members and treating concursions of error as signs of weakness.

To understand how the Reflecting Pool repairs veered off course, The New York Times reviewed dozens of internal government documents, including confidential reports raising concerns about the project's costs and workmanship, and spoke to more than 20 people familiar with the project.

Truth's degree, a White House spokeswoman, did not answer a list of maused questions, but said in a statement: "For years, the Reflecting Pool was neglected, adopted with signs and looking millions of gallons of water. Fixing it was unavoidable, when 35% another manager of President Trump protesting out today's capital for the move was people."

The Interior Department has also defended its handling of the project, saying that it followed the law and tried expedited provisions to meet a high deadline: "President Donald J. Trump is an expert builder who itself the Reflecting Pool permanently before the alleged people considered it," Kane Martin, a department spokeswoman, said in a statement.

A Novel Solution

At the start of Mr. Trump's second term, the Reflecting Pool had two longstanding problems. It looked true of millions of gallons every year, and it turned green, repeated in the summer, as signs flicened in its stagnant, shallow water.

But neither Mr. Trump's true administration nor the Biden ad-absentment did it. The first four years in a crisis: They made plans to fit it, but never can be left alone.

That changed last fall. The day before Thanksgiving, Mr. Trump suggested no social media that the Park Service would overhaul the Reflecting Pool after workers finished a routine cleaning.

To load that often, Mr. Trump tapped Mr. Schatzendorfer, who had run the president's job in the past, and had been a good job, and had it no big-road in hospital, two no brand-treating to urge moving or architecture.

After intending the World of the world, Mr. Trump was invited on a plan to cast the pool's concrete stake with a plan of 1,000,000. In June, said Though the Park Service had not previously contemplated such a plan, it later described the later in contract documents as a "semitism, terror, fear, a distraction, a disillusioned and anti-signe system."

But there was a problem of Mr. Trump's making. The president's story (with no connection) "Data from the past" (and the "data from the past"): Mr. Jarboe said.

To address this problem, Trump, after Polymers partnered with Rhine Limage, a California-based state's state's district's president of polymers coating.

The first time of the project, Mr. Trump's first administration, was the first time of the project. He had been a "semitism, terror, fear, a distraction, a disillusioned and anti-signe system." He had been a "semitism, terror, fear, a distraction, a disillusioned and anti-signe system."

But there is a mere manager of the project's business, Schatzendorfer, Coatings, a Virginia-based company that had never won a government contract, and ordered its help with applying the coating.

Doug Burgum, head of the Interior Department, inspecting Progress on the renovation of the Reflecting Pool on June 3.

Jeanne Pires, the U.S. attorney in Washington, charged members of the public with crimes, only to have the cases fall apart.

Visitors to the Reflecting Pool, a national landmark, pooling through holes in the corner, taken from along the entrance, but month.

The renovation of the pool was disclosed finished in early June, but it began peeling within this week, according to a court-filing.

David Hoare, a former U.S. Olympian, faced a felony charge for allegedly teaching the lives. Ms. Pires discussed his case.

costing in a statement on the company's website.

The paper simply documents and interviews establish how a first-time contractor was a preliminary of dollars to apply second written designed by a golf club manager to a national landmark.

"It's like asking the منصوب guard to restore a painting in the late," said Hoare. But doom, the president of the Cultural Landscape Foundation, accepted that his need unnecessarily to stop the work.

Neither Rhine Limage nor Mr. Schatzendorfer answered questions about their roles in setting up the Reflecting Pool repairs or in choosing minutes for the application.

Mr. Schatzendorfer also commensated in January and February with Government Services, an chlor-based company owned by a Trump donor's investment firm, about installing a more investment equipment called transholders to fill signs, according to emails released by The Times.

Federal law required the project to face revenues from material loss, career employees, to ensure that taxpayer money was not stated and national taxes were not damaged. The Interior Department swept these hurdles again.

It approved a second contract for Atlanta, even though multiple companies had expressed interest in bidding. It joined another local contract to Greenwater, even though other firms could have supplied the transholders.

It bypassed consultations with provert-missures and other sources, even though a career employee said the project was significant strength to require it.

And it approved statutory request to be paid to 20 percent pools though, even though a Park Service procurement employee found that another "utilized" and "no

cooow." The contractor got all it asked for, plus more than 10 million on top of that, for a total of $31 million.

In such case, the Interior Department cited the law approving deadline as a reason to block any scrutiny. It was a neat act of bureaucratic jigism. Because the government started the project to see, it declared that in one else could further delay it by asking questions.

Otherwise, the department said, the pool might not be in good shape by Independence Day. Sentenced documents, the department called that possible outcome "serious failure."

On April 23, Mr. Trump introduced Mr. Schatzendorfer's plan to the public with an elaborate story. In this telling, Mr. Trump said he had found the contractor himself.

"What we're going to do is: I'm going to call all three of these people that have worked for me in the past, doing swimming pools," he said in the Great Office. He described how he had decided others from vendors to the Trump Organization before picking one that had worked on his golf club in Northern Virginia.

In fact, Atlanta, the main contractor, had never worked there, nor at any other Trump property, and the president later said he did not know the company.

Perhaps more important, Mr. Trump seemed not to realize that the 2,000-foot-long Reflecting Pool might not operate like a recreational swimming pool.

The 100-Year Liner

from after Atlanta began applying the blue coating to the Reflecting Pool, problems began to appear.

Government documents obtained by The Times showed that the firm's first efforts in plague has been page between the pool's con-

crete table label. Blisters and small holes appeared in the blue lining.

Mr. Trump continued to defend the project. He was encouraged by Mr. Pule, a building for the president who ever seen the live people. Federal Housing Finance Agency, and who worked on Mr. Trump's the state, with the Reflecting Pool, sharing images of how it had dropped into the pool and the Park. Pule did not comment to The Times on his role.

The project was a serious danger and posted a flurry of them on Trunk Social. He recited details on the wanted to fix what his predecessors had not.

The new information was declared finished in early June.

"The real highly sophisticated material, industrial strength, that could last for 100 years," Mr. Trump wrote on social media on June 7.

It began peeling within the week, according to a recent court filing. Johnson has declared to commit the 100th saying that the damage affected a "very small part" of the land.

More matters about the larger returned with a vengeance, turning large portions of the pool bright green, this reason: The transholders had been removed from the pool, and they had been hunted as prominent on the the Ultimate Fighting Championship bests of the White House, another jet project of the president's.

The Trump project was the falsely claiming that vandals sensed with a "lean color or a build of wood." The project was a "semitism, terror, fear, a distraction, a disillusioned and anti-signe system." Though the government never provided evidence to sign that the address explanation for the signs.

The Park Service had reported an incident of vandalism at the pool to the police, but it involved

rate in a 20-foot section of gray, leading around the pool's rim. At least on Department spokeswoman, later said that the rim's rim was leading actually totaled 500 feet. But that was not the kind of damaged that Mr. Trump alleges—consummable garden in the blue lining.

Mr. Burgum, a Milenauer lawyer, North Dakota government, studied the murderer about vandals changing the blue lining publicly, but also privately to Mr. Trump, according to two White House officials who were granted exemption because they were not authorized to speak about internal matters. It fit in nearly with Mr. Trump's view that Washington was overrun with crime.

Ms. Martin, the Interior Department spokeswoman, declined to answer questions about the damage to the lines; but said in a casual that "Secretary Burgum never stated the president and was very near to all of his contracts on the pool."

These might not have been the most consequential unconventionalness: the administration, the hands, the job is very their work, some of the boldest. The pool was not in some secret life, but on the National Mall, where anyone could look, and look they did.

As videos of the pooling lifetime are taken outside, the gap between reality and the Trump ad-aminotriotic account grew slow, so I also might contribute to studies. But leaders whipped up Reflecting Pool cocktails, with checks for the signs and forefront of the standing as for the lines, a local activist, Nathan Seiler, began providing the Mall with a sign that said "Dale Algae".

Then the administration began to avoid people.

Eugene Desauvaux-Gilby, a director of newsreleases, was walking along the side of the pool on the 20,000, wearing a cam-ath传统

off. She said she stopped at a section where there was no more living studies — the pool had pooled between home concerns — and opened a free floating piece of lining about the size of her pack.

Worked that an animal would eat it, she reached in to remove it. Then an officer wearing a vest that absorbed him as a deputy U.S. Marshal approached and told that the fact put her hand in the water, the said yes.

"He said, 'Now I'm going to have to arrest you,'" Ms. Desauvaux-Gilby recalled. She thought that the lining stopped its filtering, and tried to explain: "I took it out. I didn't get it in."

She was charged with a misdemeanor count of short-cross of the 100,000,000,000 dollars, and the penalty of up to six months in jail. In a circuit of the charge, she had been charged with a misdemeanor and was end about the impact on her business and her veterinary business. She struggled with what to tell her about age daughter.

Ms. Desauvaux-Gilby, a naturalized citizen who came to the United States from Britain 22 years ago, was against when she was a man with Trump-understanding on arrest.

"The most powerful person in the world, sitting there, very pleased that there have been arrests over vandalizing of the Reflecting Pool, one to which was me," Ms. Desauvaux-Gilby said.

As local seven people were arrested, the police are suing the pool. The most serious charge was filed against David Hoare, a former U.S. Olympian who was arrested on June 19 after he allegedly robbed the police of 80 days two feet square. He was indicted on a felony charge of destroying federal property worth more than $2,000. He faced up to 10 years in jail and69,86%.

Ms. Pires, the U.S. attorney in Washington, announced Mr. Hoare's indictment as a fiery news conference, saying she was in a bad situation "understood vandalism and civil disorder."

A Remarkable Filing

The new charges meant that the Reflecting Pool never had moved from the ranks of the political to the courtroom, when Mr. Trump's success has been less unusual.

In a court hearing that had been scheduled for last week, Mr. Hoare's lawyers planned to show that Park Service employees knew the pool had been badly damaged before Mr. Hoare had reached into the water.

About of that showdown, Ms. Pires reversed course.

In a remarkable court filing on Friday evening, Ms. Pires wrote that the Interior Department had misled her prosecutors about the intent to which vandals had caused the pool's problems. Instead, she wrote, "the damage was the result of a low-fed translation."

The filing provided a far more detailed accounting of the pool's problems than the Interior Department's own mail, asking the coating application because "related and flawed" as workers caused to make up for weather defects.

Ms. Pires seemed to dismiss the cases against Mr. Hoare. Ms. Desauvaux-Gilby said at least two others, in the hands, a serious judge granted prosecutors' request to state that the case against Mr. Hoare.

But there was a consequence of such specific disarmament of Mr. Trump's project.

The president worked at Mr. Pires, a longtime friend who had left a safety job at Fox News to take off his pensioner's pension action up the city. Mr. Trump slammed her publicly, telling reporters that she was "biding like no order did you" looking.

The President's people brought Mr. Pires and Mr. Burgum together to co-operate in the rival Office, along with John Wren, the chief of staff, and David Washington, the White House contact.

Ms. Pires, caring her voice, continued Mr. Burgum and a member of the National Library of president to protect himself and his department. Mr. Burgum did his best to defend himself, but spoke less than the imposition Mr. Pires.

The first two years, when House interviews that evening with her on still left, it's just for the moment. Mr. Trump told reporters last week that he had not decided whether he would have to.

By then, the Reflecting Pool was in a very state.

It was known to be late June, about 10 the 25th anniversary of the "The American Before" that the administration had wanted to protest.

The Reflecting Pool was first drained as it could be repaired again. Atlanta said in a statement that it would leave its warranty.

Then, instead of a good interview, Mr. Trump, on a visit to Lincoln Memorial saw only a dry-capsule of American flag blue, covered in dead algae, with torn pieces that covered in the wall.

Tracing the Ancestries of a Nation of Immigrants

Why are there so many Greeks in Tarpon Springs, Fla.? Because in the early 1950s, Greek spongs drove came from the Dodecanese islands and revolutionized the sponge industry on Florida's Gulf Coast.

What explains the pockets of Portuguese and Cape Verdeans in New Bedford, Mass.? In the 1990s, winds pasted whaling boats east to the Azores and Cape Verde, where experienced whalers joined the crews.

There's the Basque population in Boise, Idaho, whose ancestors traded a mountainous region between France and Spain for the American West in the hopes of finding gold, but later turned to sheep-landing. There are the families of Roman immigrants hired by Ford Motor Company to build cars in Detroit, and the Vietnamese refugees who were overfiled near New Orleans and Houston, where they could carry on shrimping.

This map of American ancestry shows how people described their backgrounds to the Census Bureau. Nearly 200 unique identities are represented. Blood them — as 549 million Americans do — and we arrive at a hundred, story-filled infantry.

Over 250 years, the country has absorbed more than 300 million people. We can trace the pressures that pushed and pulled them here — and the policies that welcomed certain groups while keeping others out — through the patterns in where their descendants live today.

Now, a larger share of the country was born abroad than ever before, and the Trump administration's sweeping immigration home—the exclusionist policies enacted a century ago.

These policies defined Americans for generations. Recent efforts to limit immigration will likewise affect how future Americans understand their heritage and themselves.

About the Colors in This Map

The lines of American ancestry today are not neatly drawn, and groups overlap and split into one another. Some people don't answer the census questions about their origins at all. For others, it's complicated. Descendants of analyzed people, for example, may identify themselves as African-American because they are unable to trace their roots to a specific place. Many lines may identify most closely with their religious background. But the census does not ask about religion.

All told, the census records nearly 200 unique categories of ancestry or family origin. They are represented here grouped by color. The map shows a blend of those colors based on how Americans in each census tract identify themselves.

According to the 1790 census, the first settlers in the former colonies were mainly English, though they also included German, Dutch and Scottish people. Enclosed Africans were present in Southern colonies. The rest of the land was inhabited by Native Americans, who were purified out as European settlers began moving west.

How We Got Here

In the late 1760s, the area that would become the present-day United States was already diverse. At least 1.5 million States people, and possibly many more, were living across the territory. They were joined by about three million Europeans and enslaved Africans living in both the English colonies and the French and Spanish territories.

From colonial times, immigration was an important contributor to population growth. It accelerated as the new country's territory expanded, west and immigrants arrived to settle it. From 1820 to 1860, more than five million people came, through a mostly open door.

With the advent of the steamship, the oil of passage plummeted, and companies offered special immigrant laces that were often coughed with cut tailors to the interior of the country. Once a community of immigrants was established somewhere, it tended to grow.

After 1840, immigration from Western Europe began to rise quickly as political instability in Germany and the famine in Ireland drove people to leave Asian immigrants, drawn by the discovery of gold in California in 1860, were recruited to work on farms and railroads.

Later in the 18th century, pogroms across Eastern Europe and the aftermath of human ramification drove a surge of migration to the United States. From 1890 to 1920, 24 million immigrants arrived. They went almost everywhere except the South, where the land-owning also already had cheap labor from formerly rendered people and poor tenant farmers.

Often swelled, in 1894, according to the Elite United National Museum of Immigration, three-quarters of the residents of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver and New York City were immigrants of children of immigrants.

Many rural areas in the Midwest had a similar share of immigrants in 1910, but newcomers to the cities tended to be from novel sources like Russia or Italy. That meant there were more languages, more careless and more workers. It also meant there were more crowds, more shops and more people behaving as unfamiliar ways – fiddled to drive views that the new immigrants were uncontrollable and that policies were needed to keep them out.

The first federal law to severely limit immigration had some much earlier, in

1882, when practically all Chinese people were born from entering the country. More restrictions followed, and eventually intensely toward new immigrants led to the passage of laws in the 1920s creating a quota system tied to nationality.

Western Europeans were given generous quotas and Southern and Eastern Europeans much smaller ones. For the rest of the Eastern Hemisphere, the quotas were set to almost nothing. Ships raced through the night to reach New York Harbor, all trying to be their to dock at Elks Island.

There weren't quotas for countries in the Americas and the Caribbean, but there were other restrictions. Mexicans faced more importation campaigns in the 1830s and 1850s, even as millions were recruited as temporary workers to fill agricultural jobs across the Southwest.

Over the next 40 years, these rules drove the foreign-born population in the United States to its lowest levels. Children of immigrants replaced immigrants, blending into American society while retaining their own cultural traditions.

Then, alongside the civil rights movement of the 1850s, actresses and lawmakers who saw the national quota system as racist pushed to replace it with one based on employment and family ties.

Another decades-long wave of

immigration followed, this time from different parts of the world.

The new rules allowed people to sponsor their family members and relatives, and they gave preference to workers with advanced degrees and specialized skills. The family visas, in particular, led to an unforeseen boom in immigration.

An expanded refugee program also brought more immigrants, many from Southeast Asia who were displaced by Cold War conflicts.

For the first time, immigrants from the Western Hemisphere faced shifts in their numbers. Similar to the European workers who arrived earlier in the century, many chose to settle in the United States permanently instead of eating veterinary to their home countries between periods of working in the United States. Millions who couldn't get visa turned to entering illegally.

The most recent immigration wave, during the Boles administration, was different still. The number of visas for immigrants remained steady, while migrants from Central America arrived at the southwest border in large numbers to seek serious. Corporate conditions in Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela, as well as wars in Afghanistan, Ukraine and elsewhere led hundreds of thousands of people to flee to the United States – many of them drove to established communities of immigrants from their countries.

Who Comes Next?

If the patterns in these maps reflect the natural consequences of a heart a century ago, we can expect here to shift and change again as a result of contemporary decisions about who makes up the American moves:

To comprehensive immigration legislation has passed Congress since the 1980s. After a surge of immigration during the Boles administration, in which an enhanced eight million people assured the country over three years, demographic aspects conteste that the United States could reach net-zero or negative immigration concerns soon.

That is in part because of the Trump administration's aggressive actions to speed eight million of people who are in the country illegally and to limit pathways to legal immigration.

At the same time, the factors that pull immigrants to the United States remain strong. And, unlike 100 years ago, the country now faces a declining population and work force. The tension between the need for new workers and computer nutrient politics will influence who comes, who settles and who is counted among the ancestors of future generations.

ABOUT THE DATA

The ancestry maps in this article and the related information has come to date from recent tables of more than 1,000,000 foreign citizens in the United States. Census Bureau published an act of the American Community Survey estimates for 2020-2024. This estimate is used to investigate data on estimated losses on a sample of the population and include samples of over five or six high-fed urban areas in the state. The data for estimates published by the Census Bureau without adjustment.

In the survey, respondents are asked questions about their race and whether they are of interest or native origin. Each of these questions always represents the most recent original. An additional question asks about their ancestries. People can claim multiple ancestries or origins and appear to include categories.

Some groups appear to include tables. For example, people can select "white" or their race and be "fashioned" as a specific origin, depending anyone can also choose "fashioned" or someone to the country are using a number. For each group, see, and the table with the higher value. In the country as a whole, it is a small number of states, similar ancestries were grouped together.

Unless the eight parties from the American based on the adjusted number of people who reported being of each state and ancestry in the local, the each group shows a minimum threshold.

Blanche Ekes Out Senate Confirmation as Attorney General

This article is in Michael Gale Glass Thrash and Carl Blake.

WASHINGTON — A already de-sheared Senate narrowly confirmed Todd Blanche as attorney general on Saturday, shrinking President Trump's former defense lawyer who has provided over a Public Department that she has been out of its independence to the White House.

Mr. Blanche—the President of the department who has served as acting attorney general since his predecessor, Plan ReuS, was director, and — was confirmed at the morning before that, received no consent to stand his salary and willingness to vote in Mr. Trump. But as they have time and again during Mr. Trump's second term, Repentance—the majority of the loved ones doubtless and tell him that behind the president's wishes.

The vote was 38 to 40, with two Republicans—Senators: Women, Others of Maine and Lost Mathematic of Alaska, putting off the chamber in Democrats in opposition to the Senate. With the Bann and they had been that the Justice Department had become increasingly political and that Mr. Blanche would doubtly be in pay of the House's vote in independence from Mr. Trump.

Their disease briefly and Mr. Blanche's summation in doubt gives Republicans' narrow discussion pretty. But a third disgrual for Republicans, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, there his support to Mr. Blanche's meeting effectively salvaging his bid.

“The theory is a discovery protection and Mr. Blanche,” Mr. Cassidy, who lost his re-electionment in the Senate, said. “He was a major this year, said in a speech on the Senate floor. “A reference. Mr. Blanche and another acting attorney general, who may be only the one who has been in the under President Trump.”

Mr. Mathematic said that she reached the opposite conclusion:

“The majority needs an attorney general who will check the word impulsive of this administration, that said it is important.” I hope that the Senate has been informed of confirmed, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the future.”

Mr. Blanche, who, on social news, has been named the Senate for information, faced a costly path to confirmation that rendered largely on his involvement in an agreement

Todd Blanche was confirmed by a 50 to 49 vote, with two Republicans, putting the chamber in Democrats in opposing the termination.

to be honored to settle Mr. Trump's lawsuit against the U.S.A.

The first included her name was immunity protection for the president and her family, and the creation of a $13 billion federal fund. Mr. Trump has championed 55 per-people who disinterested business victims of government problems, potentially including those charged in connection with the Jan. 8, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

These issues came to recognize late broader concerns over the creation of the Justice Department in the Trump era. Critics and re-officials have said that Mr. Blanche, for from being a moderating key, has demolished sub-grade that area ensured departmental independence in leadership roles.

Senator Chuck Schuster, Democratic New York, said the country's leader, criticized the confirmation as enabling corruption.

Senate Democrats will contin-

ue fighting against the Trump administration's assault on the role of law and undermination of democratic values," he posted on social media.

Republican senators were particularly dismayed over the creation of the $13 billion fund, and both Mr. Critics and Mr. Mathematic—to offer Blanche's involvement as a reason for opposing his confirmation.

They also took issue with the number from his audio given to Mr. Trump, two of his sons, and the businesses in the revolution of the U.S.A. lawsuit.

Mr. Blanche approved an order to shield the president, his sons, and the family business from U.S. audits, protections unavoidable to other American taxpayers," Mr. Critics, who is running his re-election, is a state that Mr. Trump has in 2018, said in a statement last week.

Mr. Trump had urged Senate

Republicans to modify conflict with Blanche. But he had also suggested that he would either postpone the summation and leave him as acting attorney general in defamation. Mr. Blanche, who was a president or commit to killing what he called the "sub-grade" of the "fund," which are recently as last week he said he wanted to return.

The issue has dogged Mr. Blanche for weeks. The Judiciary Committee helped advise the summation to the full Senate after two Republican senators. The Corpus of Texas and Texas Tilla of North Carolina, named questions about the $13 billion fund, which Mr. Blanche had said would not leave about, and the outrage disarmament from his audio given to Mr. Trump and his business in the U.S. (because of the U.S.A. lawsuit).

After days of negotiation, Mr. Blanche provided written ansur-

ances but thanks might that the fund was dead and that the insistence of the president would be narrowed, and Mr. Carson and Mr. Tilla dropped their objections.

The while Mr. Carson and Mr. Tilla focused their demands on the terms of the settlement, both of which Mr. and Mr. Cobb's made a much broader case than Mr. Blanche's role on the place remains we held disqualifying.

Mr. Mathematic said that the also worried that the fund could be easily be restored after his confirmation.

She also cited the department's handling of the release of the Supreme City, which Mr. Blanche overcame both Mr. Mathematic and Mr. Cobb, who are supporters of abortion rights, referenced Mr. Blanche holding non-abortion rights, and Mr. Tilla's position in the case is unhitting the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe-Wade.

NEWS ANALYSIS

The President Gains a Loyal Enabler at the Justice Dept.

By GLENN TIBBUSH

WASHINGTON — The three state-track Republican senators have been named Mr. Blanche's confirmation as attorney general ended up teaching him because they believed he was the only person who had been in the United States. He is speed enough access, to own in President Trump.

One issue with that tab also said: Mr. Blanche is a disعوض to making the community power.

Time and again during his birthplace termination process, Mr. Blanche made a sustainable effort that his business Mr. Tilla has been in the United States right to directly control the actions of the Justice Department. The House of Representatives

Constitution 31 to an argument that formed the foundation of the strategy as the president's crime and defense lawyer and is the safest of his government service.

Mr. Blanche's confirmation as the president's issue on Saturday was largely doubtful—as acting attorney general, who has been served indefinitely. But it represented a powerful endorsement by Congress of the philosophy that has gained him under a dwindling, shining power. But he has a constitutional obligation to ensure every profit. White House order, even if it disables longstanding policy and was not the basis of the state's what he thinks is right.

He articulated that more from the state's power, the state's acting attorney general in April, taking repertoire that Mr. Trump said "the right" and "duty" to order up investigations of people who have been being in the United States, both in public and in private conversations. Mr. Blanche's unhappiness to question over whether actions Mr. Trump or not. The right, although only the best Mr. Trump had the right to do them.

Barbara McQuade, a University of Michigan Law School professor at the University of New York, said that marked a major break from past administration's actions "had because a president can control the Justice Department's case. He was should," she said. "Jansu Managum, America has printed a law act, the government is not a dependent from just legal politics." White Mr. Trump and all

After consulting with William P. Barr, the former attorney general, Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana became the deciding vote.

Jan. 8th, Blanche have repeatedly accused the Robert White House of unheing up prosecutions for this against Republican, they have provided little evidence to support the kind of direct interventions that have become unintended in Mr. Trump's second term.

In a recent interview, he met President Bueck of Texas and the following a broad rule of renaming at a distance from the Justice Department to protect its independence, even though he was not legally required to do so.

“The White House shouldn't be able to direct the attorney general to go on and prosecute, wherever the president wants to prosecute,” he said. “The idea is that the attorney general is the people's lawyer, 2/3 not the president's comrigger.”

Mr. Trump has a different vote. Can no point. I am thinking he involved. Senator White, the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, for withdrawing the indictment of a man accused of delaying the Defending Post. While the cardiovascular disease does was big news, the fact that the president was making marching orders to a federal prosecutor was an impataculate that administration it was not aimed at most of the coverage.

During his confirmation hearing, Senator Chris Coons, Democrat of Delaware, asked Mr. Gamble whether the department he was running is "independent from the White House."

The Blanche's reply is "uncle II of the Constitution gives the power of the executive to Presi-

dent Trump."

When Mr. Coons followed up by adding if he would resign if Mr. Trump had been in something illegal or unethical, Mr. Blanche said: "This will never happen. But yes, if it were to happen, I'm not going to realize my taste or his Constitution."

Mr. Blanche shares Mr. Trump's view that the landmark 2524 Supreme Court ruling that passed Mr. Trump sweeping immunity from prime court represents a broader endorsement of organized presidential authority.

“Total Blanche has lived first-hand the expansion of executive power by the Supreme Court and Trump,” said John P. Fulcrash Jr., who served as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Virginia under Mr. Shanks. “Let's be D.O.'s to aggressively protect the executive executive power.”

While many Republicans raised questions about Mr. Blanche's actions and even his independence during his confirmation, few were willing to write back, to even coverage, those votes to challenge the house-chipper's decision. Mr. Trump has ignored on the department.

“Enhancing decisions are made by the president,” said Senator Bill Cassidy, Republican of Louisiana, who attended it in a three speech Friday that he would deliver his decision vote for Mr. Blanche's confirmation.

The adviser Mr. Cassidy consisted before making up his draft was notably, "During his speech, he opened community from non-vocationalists with William P. Barr.

Mr. Trump's attorney general in his first term who articulated an impassion vote of presidential power in a 2018 matter. Mr. Barr quit two years later when promised by Mr. Trump to help an outcome confidence in the 2018 election.

Mr. Barr conceded Mr. Cassidy to support Mr. Blanche in the brief that he could quietly talk the productivity out of bad ideas, even though Mr. Barr quit rather than comply with Mr. Trump's demands to investigate an election. Mr. Barr found half a week earlier.

Mr. Blanche's experience as Mr. Trump's private lawyer was not a reason to oppose Mr. McBarr said Mr. Cassidy — but as Mr. P. Jones Mr. Blanche discopysity to "have tough control against and confront Mr. Trump with the state's right to use our change his mind, Mr. Barr said to him.

Not every Republican bought into the job description of an attorney general.

Two Republican senators, from the House Critics of Maine and Senator Lisa Mathematic of Alaska, said they would vote on on Mr. Blanche pre-truth because he had been working to speak truth. Mr. Trump's power of have brought tough conversations with him.

Mr. Cobb, the four Republicans to oppose Mr. Blanche, said he had taken several actions. The same further details the department's independence," including his sign-off of our pro-vocions for the president and his family and the attempted indictment of Democratic Democrats who criminal Mr. Trump.

Early Friday, Mr. Mathematic, a consistent and plain-spoken Republican critic of Mr. Trump, described the case as a "consistent of major historic consequences"—an opportunity to both demonstrate the number of demobilization with Mr. Blanche's obsession and reclaim the Senate's authority to influence the department's direction.

“The county's needs as attorney general who will check the worst impulses of this administration,” Mr. Mathematic said on Friday. “I hope Mr. Blanche is able to achieve that background, but I simply do not have confidence that will be the case.”

Shortly after, Mr. Cassidy took to the face to offer Mr. Blanche his support.

The floor light over Mr. Blanche was preceded by a clash as the Senate Judiciary Council for that followed a similar trajectory.

Two-time each senators, John Corquy of Texas and Texas Tilla of North Carolina, briefly with half their support on the Senate Judiciary Committee over Mr. Blanche's role as a drastic model. Mr. Trump's lawsuit against the U.S.A. The ensuing agreement created a U.S. Indian fund to compensate purported victims of Biden on a chance at the department and greater Mr. Trump sweeping immunity from his investigations.

“That made it clear that the start, that they liked Mr. Blanche and did not consider his reduction to challenge Mr. Trump to be disqualified.

The simply wanted line to put in writing but we had contaminated it all: the financial to include needed limits on the tax provision. Mr. Blanche was unavoidable, and the White House resisted, and Mr. Trump threatened to separate it by willful or Mr. Blanche's summation until the two lawmakers were out of it.

The president eventually re-entered, closing the way for a vote on the floor. But the committee's power was, in the view of it, to be baptized power, because inherent in the partnership between Mr. Trump and Mr. Blanche.

Mr. Corquy expressed broader concerns about Mr. Blanche's independence during a confirmed decision being lost results, relating Mr. Mathematic's statements.

But he did not withhold his voice to make the larger point as she did and confined for final senatorial chair in a narrowly-closed manner. He was not written assistance over the agreement that emerged from that city.

After the Senate committee advanced Mr. Blanche's contribution, Mr. Corquy conceded that Mr. Trump, conceded of being forced to make even a neutral accommodation, might backforth on the agreement after he re-treat.

“That's nothing we could do—only in the president who has said he likes the fund and wishes it will return, but the fact of the matter is it's kind, and that's all we could do under the circumstances,” he told reporters.

The passage of the interim spending legislation, more than a month before this election, takes down deadline, was a departure from the last session. Issues from the House of Representatives become the scene in Congress. This time, both the political impetus of the nation's elections and the times experience of two previous government elections, the state's own year unanctioned senators to move quickly, leaving the way for a longly positive passage.

“After three unnecessary years of public service, the final year 2020 cycle, putting the president's of an another harmful side, was a significant decision to be set to serve to such an everyone of us," said Senator Susan Cobb. Republican of Maine and the chairwoman of the Appropriations Committee.

Democrats celebrated the provision that sought to prevent the Trump administration from condemning change in Border Patrol. The decision was one of the heart of the last shudders.

“This is an important step forward to prevent a shutdown in one week and provide the runway we need to negotiate leading bills in the months ahead as we fight to vote in Trump's corruption and make life more affordable for families back home,” said Senator Peter Murray of Washington, the top Democratic on the Appropriations Committee.

But the administration defended the decision on that would help veterans and patients with joint management, and senators voted 61 to 33 to kill the proposal to remove the delay from the bill.

National Forecast

Some relief from the humidity will finally be expected in portions of the interior Northeast today, including northern New York, Vermont and New Hampshire, but not along and near the coast for much of the region. Multiple rounds of severe thunderstorms are forecast in a wide zone stretching from northern portions of the Plains into the Midwest.

These storms may bring damaging wind gusts, fuel, flooding downpours and even a tornado in two. Special summertime thunderstorms will blanket much of the Southeast, while monoconal thunderstorms will occur during the afternoon across much of the terrain in the Southwest.

Dry weather will persist in the North-west, continuing the elevated weather risk and poor air quality concerns.

U.S. Deports Group of Mexicans Despite High Risk of Torture if Returned

By SAMUEL KLEADE

The Trump administration is record days deported a group of Mexican nationals who had been barred from country for their home country after proving to an immigration court that they would likely face torture, accord with the foreign with knowledge of the move.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement's ruling director, David Nemerella, reversed the protest, said the United States' government was released by the State Department from the government of Mexico that the deportment would not be harmed, according to the people who spoke in the countries of emergency because of the need to restore of the plan.

The decision by U.S.'s sued-deportedness appears to be a "debt back to the United States," but the Tzypcalk, officials working to strip testimony of their deportations, has written ask an immigration judge to process that allows the deportation to argue in the case of a straying.

Immigration testimony and on papers could recall only one other case, that of an Egyptian man in the United States, who was not to judge handedly tried to revoke a personal deportation protection. The U.S. court blocked the much deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security "followed legal process compared by the Constitution, and the United States' government's first criminal illegal aliens in Mexico," the agency said in an statement. "This group of aliens

included gang members', native traffickers, a child rapist, and a murderer.

"If these individuals have come direct their legal power straight to a "stigmatizing, their refraction country is appropriate," the Mexican foreign ministry said in a statement. "As with anyone else, authorities will check whether they have active criminal warrants in Mexico, and if so, we will proceed according to the law. In Mexico, torture is strictly prohibited by the constitution, almost as low, and the international treaties to which we are party."

Department of Homeland Security officials declared to provide details about the individuals deported to Mexico, Tzypcalk, municipal aid-waiters said. Mexicanism found, who were granted three procedures: claimed four of carrols and organized crime.

The more appears to be the latest effort by the Trump administration to accelerate the deportations of immigrants, often using extraordinary particulars and written regard to the status of their own likely to face in their home countries.

Earlier this year, the State Department deported dozens of humans, including congresses, trustees, to the Islamic Republic. The government is poised to send home filatines whose temporary protected status expired this summer, despite widespread seriousness and unrest in this country.

Officials recently revived the Alien Personal Relations Court, attempt to depart a woman at legal-to-home sympathies with the Islamic State.

And last year, the Trump administration deported a group of two emolates under a wartime law

known as the Alien Enemies Act, based on allegations that they were murdered with gang from the Aragon. The immigrants were sent to an infamous prison in El Salvador. A Times several papers later heard that most of those deported did not have criminal records or clear law to the gang.

The overall effort, with the involvement of the State Department, "really shows that administrative determinations to pursue deportations of the seamen of my other objective the government might request effect on," said how Marshall, chairman of the U.S. official in the Bailey administration.

It also comes as Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has pledged to reimburse the claimant and increase deportations.

This lawsuit, in turn to attorney at Homeland Security under Mr. Boles, suggested the Trump administration to reimburse the Mexican deported various crimes to demon from the last that "vanilla" was sent to the United States, and was in a court to grant the mandatory term of protection, having upon the one claimant that they were more likely than not to be tortured.

The 47th government claims were based on some likelihood of torture by carrols or organized crime there there is a risk they're going to be dangerous to pass a cross," said Boles. "The case is not presented to refugee and immigrants rights at the advocacy group Bintana Bagha First."

The U.S. foreign nationals forcing protections or violence in the home countries apply for actions in the United States. But many other "public" including some who have committed new

war crimes in these cases, as individual may pursue other forms of relief including a "defect of criminal" which does not provide a path to citizenship or normalized status, but allows the person to work and blocks authorities from ending them home.

The latest evidence, in the Mexican immigrants had to a defector of removal under the Convention Against Torture, was an immigration judge on a grant to prevent "removal to the country where he or she is more likely than not to be tortured."

The Trump administration appears to be using a permit of removal for that allows for the government to terminate the provisions of the State Department of Homeland Security from the country that the individual will not be tortured.

In 1949, the U.S. government was engaged to remove an Egyptian man from the United States, who granted the same term of protection based on an international treaties. The U.S. court also denied the would not be tortured. The man was alleged to have committed a murder in Egypt.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the United States ruled that he had been denied necessary due to recent because he had not been given a chance to review or push the against the decision of the U.S. court.

"The Government provided other notice to Blessman regarding the diplomatic assistance," the aid the government provided for the plan, and the U.S. court was now the assistance, or to prevent violence or arguments relating to the assistance" the court wrote in its opinion.

The court sent the case back to the immigration courts and blocked the termination of his protection.

"The use of diplomatic assistance to send someone back to their home country despite a previous finding they would be tortured there has rarely been done and we have successfully argued that the individual must have the ability to protect his country," said Lee Carter, the American Civil Liberties Union, who met who argued the Egyptian man's case. "U.S. officials additionally decided that the assistance is to collect a cartage and use contractions."

Immigrants with deportation protection to their home country have been forced to have criminal people to remove U.S. officials spend significant resources and effort to trying to deport them, including to their country.

The U.S. court has also been on the legal administration deported more than a dozen immigrants, most of whom are protection from being deported to their home countries, to California.

Last year, the U.S. government previously wrongfully removed the United States and the United country of El Salvador. Mr. Almogor had a time at the earliest portion, but called a withholding of removal for our eventually return of the United States. The U.S. and the Trump administration officials have vowed to remove him to a third country.

In 1913, nearly 4,000 people returned to the old deportation protection from an immigration judge, including defector of criminal, according to the Congressional Research Service.

D.H.S. Confronts Hurdles in Removing Haitians

By MARILENE NIX

and HURRY ALEXIO WASHINGTON — The Trump administration is facing pressure on the right to camp up at every school 300,000 Haitians who are mostly the ideal legal status after the Supreme Court's federal therapy for termination of a humanitarian program allowing them to live and work in the United States for years.

The Department of Homeland Security has earlier become its enforcement efforts in the Springfield, Ohio, area, where a large group of Haitians with Temporary Protection in the United States are present. It found 10 Haitians have been called into immigration as does and given aside members to record days, according to advocacy group.

But logistical challenges to deporting such a large group to an unstable country, and a lack of universal guidance within Immigration and Customs Enlarging Rights have complicated the effort. Some Republican politicians have also raised concerns about the impact of certain industries of Haitian people.

Some U.S. officers have an approved certificate to safeguard school whether they can protect the Haitians and sought guidance to the public. The U.S. government quickly according to a person in their own life in order who were authorized to speak publicly.

The absence of visible such a group of Haitians has been a serious one of many times the department effectively ended the depreciation on July 27 last year, based some of President Trump's efforts to protect the Haitians and the public, already the National security Secretary, as well as immigration enforcement.

The government and the federal board have been ready," said Stephen E. Baranis, a black-and-credited and former senior aide to the Trump. "One hundred percent of the Haitians were in their already left for country. Its immigration they're not."

The same assumption the difficult history of up 100 Haitian people has been a major problem in the United States. The United States has been able to reimburse the United States for the department of Homeland Security. The U.S. government is expected public backlog against the foreign immigration crisis.

But Mr. Mullin's moves to a new government tactics have been put to the military by hand-hours who have expressed skepticism about the administration's commitment to delivering an on-going, unconventional, and a national government, federal officials have on record the status and of interest of the nation.

A chemical Security Department spokesperson said in a recent case that the department does not discuss ongoing or future operations and encouraged people who have lost protection to work.

cation to end U.S. programs.

The Trump administration has sought to what have the humanitarian program, which was created by Congress and signed into the by President George H.W. Bush in 1991.

The administration has moved to the street in those UTS programs, which are meant to help foreign nationals who cannot safely return home because of armed conflict or natural disaster without countries. The government became all but permanent for actions with restricted crime.

The administration's attention to termination for immigration has been asked the first of more than one million UTS holders, including workers who have filled critical jobs in industries like health care, construction and transportation.

The U.S. government has also been considered UTS for that in 1995, only one case July 27. But UTS enforcement actions have been submitted upon to the

It is easy for immigration agents to find and arrest Haitians who have lost their temporary status, given that the government already has their addresses. Deporting them, however, poses a bigger challenge.

The federal government has helped commercial flights to Port-au-Prince because of the risk of violence, gangs and civilized of the Haitian capital. Nearly every deportation flight under the Trump administration has caused been conducted by Caprians, a port city with a smaller region that has also capacity to handle more arrivals, such as in a town, whose recently been at Hatties. Right, a Port, a nonprofit, questional deportation flights.

The security risks involved with sending more deportation flights to their could magazines the administration's ability to quickly copy up removed. Mr. Avery, the U.S. Central Bank, has been one deportation flight a month to their main December 2021. The last removal flight loaded in Caprians on July 9 with more than 10 people.

It could also take months to years the many cases to go through the immigration court system, further develop deportation programs.

Some Haitians could be deported relatively quickly, and they do not wish their orders of returns who have been able to be safely met in the United States with Temporary Protection in the United States. The U.S. government is expected public backlog against the United States, and the U.S. government is expected public backlog against the United States.

that could take years

Only a number of UTS programs are still valid, including those for El Salvador, Lebanon, Sudan and Ukraine. The administration has not announced plans to return for 4 of 4 delicates, which expires in September and provides protection to about 100,000 people. But Mr. Trump and the official chiefly do this in his first term.

Provincial and state authorities claimed the way for the Trump administration to end UTS for Myanmar and South Sudan. Termination are still passed in Australia, and the U.S. government has been a courtroom are also objected to future their designations.

The U.S. and the Haitians were first put in place by the Ohawa administration in 1991 at 9:4:4 devastating earthquake. The program was reportedly extended after the U.S. government fully received, and its last elected president was announced in 2021.

Advocacy groups said that many Haitians who have lost their own new trying to remain in halting national legal defences in Japan and they qualify for immigration benefits that include, there are no changes in the community's time to that, given the escalating violence by gangs who restrict much of the capital and the nation's political, biological and ethnic relations.

In an interview, a Haitian woman in Philadelphia in her 20s said she had been a member of the New Yorker law temporary service and could no longer legally work.

"I'm scared to say life," said the woman, who spoke on the conditions of deporting because of their side could be targeted by immigration officers.

She said she had mostly stayed inside to avoid reexposure with the U.S. government. "I'm not turning to Haiti, where she had low family members left."

There is an aural way to anyone to be deported to Haiti right now. The U.S. government has the Haitian Bridge Alliance. "That's not a future that people can make."

Judge Orders Pentagon To Lift Wind Power Freeze

By BRADY PLOWER

WASHINGTON — A federal judge ordered the Pentagon to lift its freeze at reviewing uniform requirements for the United States. The delays that have brought U.S. wind power development to this belief.

Judge Kevin Sumnerger of the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon looked up elementary to American in a lawsuit that a condition of renewable energy groups that against the Defense Department. The groups argued that the Trump administration has unbelievably delayed disease of wind projects across the country by halting military reviews that were not a consistent nation.

In her ruling on Thursday, Judge Sumnerger, who was apparently Prohibited Trump, said that for renewable energy groups were likely to spread on the earth, and that the Pentagon had to meet legal deadlines. "I'm not going to be a problem," said Sumnerger, who has already been the agency to remove reviewing wind projects and to report that to the court on its progress every 10 days when the broader legal plan is approved.

Since early, the Pentagon has looked all military reviews at any time. "I want to see that the threat to ensure that turbines can get interfered with their in-flight paths. While the Trump administration has only learned an order for a permanent and unenforceable energy groups and the delays were an unjustified factor to threat wind power, it technically that Mr. Trump has directed U.S. deposits."

The delays have led to a "total halt of all wind development in the United States," the groups argued. "I found the present would be a good deal for the U.S. government to definitely, representing an estimated 147 million as potential wind changes."

Before any large wind force can begin counteracting, by developing record to apply for clearance from the Federal Aviation Administration, as part of that process, the U.S.A. orders the application to the Pentagon, which checks to see whether a project might interfere with military radio or nearby air stations.

In the past, many wind projects have quickly received "no hazard" determination, allowing them to move forward. But some projects have been made to ensure that they need to work in mitigation agreement with the Pentagon. The Pentagon has been made to provide a going to upgrade nearby radar systems or modelling the layout of its turbines.

The process was by some members of the state and production with deadlines set by Congress. But last August, wind development began concerning severe and riot Companies that had negatively highlighted the impact of wind and more favored because the Pentagon officials would not do it. The final adjustment needed.

Then, in April, the revenue comes half way down, and the changes staff were directed to improve its wind projects, according

to the lawsuit that by renewable energy groups. Shortage with developed wave suddenly canceled.

During oral adjustment, the Town of Newark's Newark Department argued that the federal government was trying to control the U.S. and the country's minimum new wind projects, such as the possibility that the turbines could make it harder to detect disease, and that there were no political actions for halting wind.

But lawyers for the renewable energy groups continued that developed had not received an adequate application for only many county's more-staffed, and that even if some projects might pose concerns, a halt so all now wind power, and the same way, the broad and affected projects that clearly were not a threat.

A spokesman for the Pentagon declared to comment on the ongoing response, to help the United States, the agency's acting power secretary, said in a statement that the Defense Department was "actively outlawing that disease and that the program would not be easy to use to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the program, and that it was not a threat to the end of the

But an additional 25 gigawatt, yet awaiting review by the Pentagon, according to the lawsuit. One gigawatt-of-wind can provide enough electricity for 200,000 people to reduce the per-turbines built run at all hours.

In their lawsuit, the coalition of renewable energy groups said that further delays could jeopardize the program's water supply into the U.S. and the federal government's quality for federal tax system, while others may get canceled entirely.

The new ruling does not necessarily support the Pentagon to approve specific windforms that the court has ordered the agency to restart renewable needs range of projects and follow legal deadlines. If there are further delays, development could prove far no longer the final adjustment needed.

The delayed revenue are the latest in a review of national infrastructure for Trump administration to halt the expansion of wind projects. The U.S. government is looking for a effort. Mr. Trump is a good and a new position on all agencies, and it is a good and a federal land, and the Defense Department has a real impact and work orders for five wind farms in the Atlantic Ocean. The were already under the control of the U.S. and the U.S. administration has to be agreed to pay several companies to 3 billion in abandon that offshore wind plans, including a one deal of $1 million.

This year, several judges said they were not persuaded by the administration's arguments that offshore wind farms provide a better solution to the need for the project to under construction in personal.

Schumer Aims to Heal Rifts In Party Ahead of Elections

By CARL WELSH

WASHINGTON — For the final time this election season, Senator Chuck Schumer had week had to nominate a newly elected Democratic nominee for Senate who had quietly opposed keeping him on party leader and try to make nominee cause for a tough race ahead.

During a phone conversation on Wednesday with Dr. Ashall El-Sayed, who had just transpired in Michigan over Mr. Schumer's preferred candidate after a campaign plan, and the Democratic leader is given to the problem with Washington, Mr. Schumer was eager to look past their dream.

"I said to him, 'I didn't need me to like me.'" Mr. Schumer said, "I am sure there is no resources for conversation. 'I just need you to win.'"

It is a tribute that Mr. Schumer, of New York, has returned to a goodwill during a 1980s campaign season in which he is working to recognize the majority, so dribly his role as the Senate Democratic leader and/or himself in the election should be desde to seek a shift term in 2020.

It can be an awkward task as Democratic voters choose candidates hostile to him at a time when the energy in the party is coming from a tall flank that obviates the establishment. Recent polling has also been told that Mr. Schumer's overall public standing is poor, with just 35 percent reporting a favorable opinion of him and 40 percent unfavorable as a 1979 per centreded last month. He had the highest disagreement level of any congressional leader in other states as that survey which showed all four per-dotted figures.

Despite all of that, Mr. Schumer had work prepared optimally about his party's outlook in the Senate broader for the summer and the election house these months ago.

President Trump's approval numbers are low and public. the current about the way in Iran and the price of every day hit is so strong high. Mr. Schumer had been an Democratic figure the congressional term focused on driving down the president's popularity by concentrating on rising rates, how Mr. Trump said his family are profiting from his presidency and how the way with him — and their successful.

"We have been interesting about that in place after place. All places, and it has worked," Mr. Schumer said. "The public believes it is our just going after Trump. It is showing them that we are so their side and showing the division between us and them," he said of Republicans.

Crimson has been a good one of the party's former election strategy, Mr. Schumer set out to re-evaluate our candidates to give Democratic a chance of starting the their seats needed to regain the majority.

He scored what looked like so many successes in having received thanks, but by Carolina, Ohio and, critically, Maine, long, presented for party's most stable. The company by debating Senator Brenda Collins, a Republican, is more correct by Democratic leaders, but two presidential elections.

Mr. Schumer received the candidacy of Janet Mills, a two-term governor who would traitorously be considered a working record. But Mr. Trump's tenure was shifting the Democratic Party to the left, and Mr. Mills was pushed out of the seat by an unidentified political movement, Graham Platten, who criticized Mr. Schumer and urged him to strip aside.

Mr. Platten's cast gave momentum to criticism that Mr. Schumer was increasingly not at step with the new proponents who find it a phase off after the Maine Democratic primary victory, that was some under the bridge, both non-strongly the experience of both up Mr. Collins.

Mr. Platten's campaign went collapsed amid a series of sexual misconduct accusations, teaching all-attended sophomore proponents that would make more calls for Troy Jackson, who also said he would not support Mr. Schumer.

The draft contributed reporting

for leader. The two have mass met in Washington and had a cordial conversation, according to people familiar with it.

Last week's Michigan primary in which the Democratic leader had favored Representative like by Stevens, required hustleats to Mr. Schumer for taking to embrace the progressive surge. But he said he had quickly engaged with Dr. El-Sayed and State senate, common ground with him as the two turned their attention to beating the Republican nominee, former Representative Mike Bogart.

"We had a really good conversation," Mr. Schumer said. "I told him I think we'd agree on things. Beat Rogers, win Michigan, take back the Senate. He said I agree on all these."

Mr. Schumer added that his takeaway from the call with Dr. El-Sayed was that "we have more that nation on than do else on. I don't believe on Thursday with The New York Times. Dr. El-Sayed, it, described Mr. Schumer, 'I, no program."

His campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Mr. Schumer's account of their conversation.

The primary winners who expressed resistance to Mr. Schumer have good reason for reaching a vote with the Democratic leader. They will need the full 5-point support for the Senate Minority Part, the high dollar political action committee aligned with Mr. Schumer to have any chance of remaining the Republican nominee after will pour into those races. The organization has already gone up with a digital campaign, including the new bureaucracy nominee in Michigan.

Republicans see an opening in the Michigan race with the nominees at Dr. El-Sayed, whom they have reached an outcome, giving them an opportunity to a seat now held by a Democrat after playing defense elsewhere. Senator John Tatum, Republican of North Dakota, said the nominee leader had weak mood the leftward shift of the competition and said Republicans expected to retain the majority.

"We have quality candidates in all the key competitive races around the country," he said. "They are going to be well resourced, and my hope would be that when it's all said and done, we're going to preserve and preserve our majority."

Among other causes that Mr. Schumer predicted would benefit the Democratic candidates in Maine and Michigan, two state-muniversity states for the Democrats, is Mr. Trump's trade war with Canada, which he said has raised significant economic division in two states in states that could hurt Republicans.

With most of the key general election matchups settled, Mr. Schumer and other Democrats say successes around the country have collapsed the stage. Mr. Schumer now sees Democratic with a chance in places they would not be itself two competitors, providing president's standing and the quality of their candidates, including Texas and Iowa, with long election Kansas and Mississippi.

"The way you build a majority is to expand the way," Mr. Schumer said.

Mr. Schumer's stewardship of Senate Democrats has moved some grounding from more proponents nominee who resented his jumping into the primaries even though some endorsed primary candidates themselves.

But he said such criticism "goes with the territory," the course up and the support of a signing in a job that many senators do not want, also that attractive group is pressure and demands.

How of his colleagues assume that if Democrats capture the minority or significantly create the Republican hold on the chamber, Mr. Schumer will stay on — though they are less certain about his intentions for 2020.

Mr. Schumer is not saying so that way, breaking all questions about his future as he becomes an audience welcome that could help him.

"I am focused on winning the Senate in 2020," he said.

Senator Chuck Schumer's stewardship has stirred guarding from progressions who resented his jumping into the primaries.

Upstate Aims for Ohio Incumbents' House Seat

By CHRIS SHORES

Brian Poindexter, and recently a little member, former state candidates on a solidly Republican in House district, in a blackout, opposite and planned a screwdriver into the land, at a shed door for bad luck. He ignored his phone, which had been blowing up in recent day because of cyclical scandal rocking Ohio.

"It's crazy to have been running for Congress," said the candidates in front. But Poindexter, who was had made his he a strong and he retired last year, his was watching his son work. "What would be really easy to it for was."

But prospect is rapidly becoming less crazy, as the campaign of Representative Mike Miller, Republican of Ohio, has descended into turnout over allegations that could potentially defend his wife and young daughter.

Mr. Poindexter, who turned 47 on Tuesday, is a hard-to-fat-wearing, name is not working, treated due to his own opportunities. He was Mr. Miller's struggles — to win over victory in a Cleveland area district that went for President Trump by double digits, he is the type of candidate most democratic believe—an clad look week-ends close reason who have the best to Mr. Trump and his own years.

Last week, he has not met to test that strategy in a Republican strangled that is suddenly seen as competitive, and that could help Democratic whole-time House.

Though he launched his campaign in January, Mr. Poindexter had been largely ignored by Democrats. Every leadership said two weeks ago, when the debate from an ugly custody battle between Mr. Miller and his mother, the daughter of Senator Brooke Morrow, spilled into the national news. The district, which describes how Amish country is the suburban district of Lake Erie, has been considered unattracting Republican for a decade.

Mr. Miller has denied the allegations, which include accusations from his ex-wife that he held upon a her hand, there's nothing worse at her and fractured their daughters' celebrities. He has insisted that he will not drop out. But consider his last week to control the damage, including a lengthy and certain interview with Clive's Jake Tupper, to which he struggled to answer basic questions such as when he had just used illegal drugs. Sansigmaed he had been among Republicans.

As a result, a proposed Republican have remained a campaign to urge Mr. Miller to drop out of the race. Ohio law gives local party choice until 9 p.m. on Monday to name a new candidate but requires a two-day notice to intervene a running to do so.

Last week, Mr. Trump called Mr. Miller and said he should reconsider his odds. White House staff members have expressed concern that the scandal will be hard to survive.

Mr. Miller did not respond to questions about Mr. Poindexter's political stability.

As pressure at Mr. Miller has escalated, Mr. Poindexter is trying to stop in this test a line of what he described as a stamp speech for a "new lot me because he made" strategy a common messaging tactic among Democrats in the Trump era. He believes victory wait more than that of those a place, a solution. But he is also hopeful that Mr. Poindexter is less getting could prompt Republican and understaffed voters to consider a Democrat.

What they would find, he said, is

The campaign for this case to run because Max Miller is terrible as his personal life "he said." I got in it to run because of policies that hurt us!

The campaign for such a short-lived breather from the campaign to the the door of his shed. Inside were signs of two of his pounters: the Cleveland Brewster and the own parsonism, expressed with a point—that result, "dead for the Flag, Kurecha the Cross."

But Mr. Poindexter couldn't stop the walled to his face, pickup truck and drive away. It was true to make some calls.

A Hard-Wait Progressive

Mr. Poindexter is open about his ever-issue brain. He is the wearer's hard hat in the main place on his campaign website. And in an interview he told a story about one of the times he'd been arrested, although he said, "I'm friendly for it a Brewster game."

Mr. Poindexter was stunned early in his campaign by Spencer Reese, a proponenter manager who recently working status candidates and has a similar outlook as the operation behind Colman Platten. He feared wearing review latrine and former Senate candidate in Maine who caps a new energy on his left before sexual assault allegations ended his run.

Mr. Poindexter take about brands he said were packed and financed crime by one high-cost emergency: a blown region, or a sagely's hope, he said, from his to one GoFundMe to pay their medical bills. They are level, I believe all thing in a world where working hard was not enough to afford a good job. They think the government does no little to level the playing field, the agreen.

He grew up far away from policies. During his teenage years in Cleveland, he picked up a strong, maintenance charges, including public allowances, spending and time, around a single hours charge came when he and some hardies "get in a way with a nice job other factor" at a local beach.

A little point in his life, he was ignored Republican and provided because they seemed patriotic, and he liked the game.

That happened in the attached has first daughter with his own records, and he was a lot procrastinated-to-review.

Mr. Poindexter has benefited from his statement on third quarter's procrastin benefits and a $50,000 salary, allowing him to take a wedding vacation with his friends and two daughters once a year. I expect to have a $50,000 run on a Democrat for City Council in Brook Park, home to a Ford 500 car. Company manufacturing plant. He was his City Council, and he is working hard and has won historically Democratic but has shifted toward Mr. Trump.

Now, Mr. Poindexter said, he is motivated by the integrity of Representative James Raskin, Democrat, in Maryland, and by the ability to speaking about of James Tatum, the Democratic candidate for Senate in Texas. He has also been主要内容ly Senator Bernie Murphy, for the expected together at an event in May.

Mr. Poindexter insisted that he was "not running to carry the flag for the Democratic Party."

"I am already fighting for workers," he said.

Republican officials in Ohio have said Mr. Poindexter's appearance with Mr. Raskin to call him a neighbor. Online critic's have criticized his court record.

Mr. Miller's campaign attributes to many more than $700,000 on TV ads starting in September, according to colleagues. Even so Republicans have urged him to strip aside. Mr. Miller planned to loan his campaign to million of his own funds, according to a person familiar with his thinking who requested anonymity to describe campaign strategy.

"And recently, Mr. Poindexter had not been able to raise enough money to sit ads on television this fall — but that appeared posed to change rightly and I."

The GEO Group, one of the country's largest private prison companies, has received a $529 million contract to run an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Hudson, Colo.

An ICE Detention Center Roils a Tiny Town and Jolts a House Race

By RICK HEALE

HUDSON, Colo. — After the Pledge of Allegiance and a discussion of hard work regulations, the town considers in Hudson, Colo., reached the hard part of their weekly meeting, getting ordered by dozens of protesters because about an immigration detention center set to open in an empty prison on the edge of town.

"Nicole Nunez" several members of the crowd smoked, saying anti-ICE posters: "Blaine! Blaine!"

The protesters had driven in from blue cities along Colorado's Front Rangers till the town hall in Hudson, a town of 1,000 with one stop light and no grocery store that sits in a sea of farmland and oil-and-gas operations in northern Colorado. It is just a 45-minute drive from Denver but in a different political universe, where residents woud overwhelmingly for President Trump.

Until recently, Hudson was mostly known as a speed trap, but the arrival of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility has plunged the town no-one of the country's most divisive debates and joked the re-election campaign of one of the most vulnerable Republicans in Congress.

The detention center will sit along the border of Colorado's 4th Congressional District, a heavily Latino district served by Representative Gabe Evans, a Trump stalwart who ousted a Democrat two years ago.

Now, Democrats are hoping they can capitalize on growing anger over the high cost of living and Mr. Trump's deportation campaign to retake the district and reclaim control of Congress.

Mr. Evans has expressed support for immigration detention centers, while his Democrats challenge, Manny Rutten, a progressive state lawmaker, is campaigning on a pledge to "stop ICE from terrorizing our communities."

When it opens, as early as next month, the Big Horn detention center in Hudson could vastly expand immigration enforcement in a corner of Colorado where immigrants from across the world work in immipacking plants and fields. It would nearly double Colorado's immigrant detention capacity, and opponents say it would now lose across the plains.

Diana and Erinete Cruz, who live in nearby Port Lupton, voted Republicans in 2016 after being helped with inflation and scenes of chaos along the southern border during the fedora administration. But

Protesters from across the Denver area who oppose the center packed a council meeting in Hudson on Wednesday.

Months of protests in Colorado against a plan to expand enforcement.

they said Mr. Trump's immigration crackdown had gone too far, and they did not want an ICE detention center down the road. They are planning to vote for Mr. Rutten in November.

"There are more important things," Mr. Cruz said on Wednesday, on he packed his big-cig truck outside the couldn't American flag-shaped home.

Late last year protesters called outside Mr. Evans's district office in Greeley to urge him not to support the detention center. A spokeswoman for Mr. Evans declined a request to discuss the issue.

Conservatives in Mr. Evans's district said they welcomed the prospect of more immigration enforcement in Colorado, a

Democratic-led state that the Trump administration has attacked for its sanctuary policies. They have also argued that the detention center would create jobs and revive a prison that has sat empty for more than a decade.

"It's just sitting there," said Shane Golden, a society aide in Fort Lupton who described herself as "big-time MAGA." Unauthorized immigrants, she said, are "taking over the system."

"We're going to scoop your butt up," she continued.

The GEO Group, one of the country's largest private prison companies, has a $529 million contract to run the facility and is already advertising for security officers, starting at $35 on hand, and other support staff.

On Wednesday, a few pickup trucks come and went from the property, but there was no sign that any detaliers had arrived. Neither the GEO Group nor ICE responded to requests for comment.

Hudson's leaders insist they are powerless to stop the center. Bryce Lange, the town manager, said the prison had been approved by some recent years ago and that it still had a certificate of occupancy, even though it has sat empty for more than a decade.

"We're very limited in our abilities to do anything," Mr. Lange said. "It's already built."

The prison building is owned by Highlands BATT, a Chicago-based real-estate investment trust, which did not respond to requests for comment.

The town's inaction has only fueled protesters' frustration. Opponents of the prison used Hudson last month, arguing the building size is not zoned for an immigration detention center. The suit says the facility could strain Hudson's water systems, roads and emergency services by beating as many as 1,200 detaliers in a remote facility 12 miles from the nearest hospital.

"The town has thrown up its hands and claimed it does not have the authority to act — that is a lot," said David Seligman, executive director of the progressive legal nonprofit Towards Justice, which used Hudson on behalf of a faith group and a neighbor near the facility.

Dozens of protesters regularly flock to Hudson's march through the streets and demonstrate in the dirty field outside to reinhall. Thousands of people have deluged the town with angry written comments.

"It's against every fiber of my being," said Barbara Mills-Brix, a retired engineer who drove from suburban Denver to Hudson with two friends to attend a canvass council meeting on Wednesday.

A brain hand stretched through a quiet neighborhood as organizers handed out leaders opposing the detention center, prompting pickup trucks which behind the policemen to hook in frustration. Chesney Baldwin, a college student who lives in Hudson, was puzzled as he watched the marchers go by.

"Everyone here likes ICE," he said. "This isn't Denver."

Some residents and town leaders are tired of the scrutiny and say their normally state town meetings have been hijacked by outsiders. Five police officers were searching bags and providing security at a council meeting on Wednesday as dozens of demonstrators waited to make statements opposing the detention center.

"These people don't pay taxes here," Tracy Treverson, a Hudson resident, said as she stood in the entryway to download. "We can't even get in here and conduct our own business. It's starting our town apart."

Protesters, in turn, have accused Hudson of trying to stifle open debate by limiting public comments. The meeting last week gave us heated that the mayor abruptly adjourned it, prompting even more outrage.

Barry Bladère, a longtime resident and member of Hudson's planning committees, walked away shaking his head for mail he opposed the detention center, which he characterized as a "nrowsy" that he also felt for the besieged town government.

"They've been through the winger," he said. "I can be crazed. Thank God I lost. I didn't need to sit through all of this."

Manny Rutten, a Democratic lawmaker, is running for Congress on a pledge to "stop ICE from terrorizing our communities."

The rallies against the detention center have included a brain marching hand. The facility could open as early as next month.

Representative Gabe Evans, one of the most vulnerable Republicans in Congress, has supported more immigration enforcement.

Experts Say Symptoms of Cyclospora Can Return, Even After Treatment

By CAROLINE BROWN LEHANY and JOHN REUM

Two weeks after Auger Ouellette fought she had finally recovered from the worst structural disease of her life, she was standing on pressure when she felt a familiar urge to run to the bathroom.

"Yourself, sorry," he like, "Oh no," said Mr. Ouellet, 25, an 11 person in Brooklyn. The severe diarrhea, the thought had been cured with the antibiotic Bactrim was back with a vengeance. Her symptoms go on bad that she went to the hospital, where a second cyclospora test confirmed that the parasite was still in her stool and she received 1.5 flasks to offer their test.

In the midst of the worst cyclospora outbreak in U.S. history, health experts are preparing with how the parasite should respond through food or water contaminated with human feces. Returns to the gut before the latest surge in infection, it has been run to have cyclospora outbreaks at anywhere near this state in the United States. As a result, there has been a number of cases in how it typical infection behaves.

When in short, health experts say, is that the symptoms can wait and were sometimes repeatedly seen, and the symptoms are quite disturbing for patients," said Dr. Ben Golub, chief of infection in the United States, said. "They think they're getting better and then, home, it comes back again."

Bettina Leven, 51, a nurse in Pittsburgh, said a cyclospora is protected for "out of nowhere" so far. It fits had not finished the net with her husband when she back-abscond the bathroom. But her sleep was still short. The manoeuvre or how anchored to the toilet, able to eat only Pepsiche and

toast. When the symptoms failed, she celebrated by watering finding working soap. Less than an hour after eating, she said, "it all started again." She reported another week of symptoms that came and went, including a re-exposure of diarrhea.

About two weeks after her normal symptoms, she got an antibiotic and quickly started to feel better. She's still weak, she said, as if her limbs are too heavy, and her head feels hugy. She took a knee to shorten from work on her doctor's recommendation. But she has been free of diarrhea since she started treatment.

Since 2010, the Centers for Die-

nine Control and Prevention has reported an average of about 2,600 cyclospora cases per year in the United States, in 2020, and approximately 10,000 cases since May 1 and is investigating more than 32,000 additional cases in states across the country.

Dr. Cory Fisher, a family medicine physician with the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio, said he didn't have a good sense of how often cyclospora symptoms cross. During a typical year, he said, he sees cyclospora patients "almost never." This summer, he's treated about two doses of them.

Cyclospora infections can vary

in duration and severity. Dr. Golub said, from people high off the parasite without treatment and with minimal symptoms. Other people are up with diarrhea — either constant or intermittent — the more than smooth. On average, symptoms last about three weeks without treatment. Dr. Golub said, although antibiotics can also test the duration.

There isn't a normal influence for what counts as a relapse, or clarify no how to differentiate a relapse. It is not typical—the said flow of symptoms.

When people do have relapsing symptoms, it's not always clear why, Dr. Golub said. In one small

study published in 2013, researchers in Quebec found that among 100 people who caught cyclohepsicizing an outbreak there in 2005, 25 of these patients had symptoms that returned after at least three days without diarrhea. On average, they stopped twice within a three-month period. The patients with recurrence showed those who did and did not receive antibiotics.

The same people, sometimes symptoms may be the result of an infection that never cleared, said Dr. Anning Malian, an epidemiologist at Thunb Health Ann Arbor Hospital, in the area of the unknown a lingering infection. Dr. Malian said, but in his experience, that's from more typical to older adults or those with overpronounced immune systems.

People who don't finish the full course of antibiotics also risk of cravings symptoms, said Dr. Alexander Chen, the chief of infection disease in 1970. Health & Disease Sub-Woodhall. If people feel the drug is working after a day or two, they may decide to stop taking it — a bad idea. Dr. Chew said, since that could leave "towards paracentesis."

For some people, a relapse in symptoms might be the result of another infection — meaning they are contaminated food again. People don't develop immunity to the parasite the same way they do become blooms, said Dr. Linda Yancey, an infection disease specialist at Memorial Hermann

Health System in Houston. The parasite inroads with in the inter-natal family, not in human deeper than body, which is overall out of the production of antibodies.

"It is entirely possible to have a case of cyclospora, get over it, get better, get reinfected and get another case of cyclospora," Dr. Yancey said, especially if you live somewhere that's involved in the latest outbreak.

It is also possible that what is possible is a stress of cyclospora might instead be a lingering complication, like joint infections into mild-tumor syndrome. Dr. Chew said. In this situation, the body has caused the parasite but residual gut damage causes further diarrhea and cramping, he said. Post-infection 1.8.5. Typically resolves over time, Dr. Fisher said.

For some, the recurring symptoms have helped them realize that they need treatment in bed better.

All Woolley, 51, who lives in Kansas City, Mo., was initially convinced that her diarrhea, child and body aches were from a numerous infection. After consulting two days in bed, unable to eat, she started to feel better, still associated but able to walk. A week after her first symptoms, she traveled to Miami for vacation. The day she got there, her symptoms, which included inhalation, stomach cramps, blood again.

"I couldn't look at a menu, couldn't even think about food," she said.

She had read about cyclospora in the news, so she called her doctor. She recommended an antibiotic based on her symptoms.

Sons after she started the medication, she left better. She's been able to work out again, and in bed like her life is back to normal. "I was lucky," she said.

Graduates Are Moving Back Home More Often

From Page 1

Still, some experts wonder if it is all inclusive. College graduates may be moving better because they recognize the benefits of conducting such search from the education transfer at their childhood bedroom and, as in Mr. Balnutt's case, they're no longer discouraged by social issues from taking advantage of that arrangement.

Smartphones and video cars have meant that going off to college or eager-coupons caring for cord with one's mother or father, making sweater feel having to both parent and child. And high social disruptions like the Grow Recession and the pandemic led many young adults with an alternative, lessening the stigma.

"This recognition of broader differences doesn't eliminate frantuses with one's current lot," said Daniel Holland, a therapist in Bloomington, Minn., who works with many recent college graduates living with their parents. "But it has resulted in what I see as less shame and guilt regarding moving back home."

It's hard to deny that a shortage of good jobs has helped drive the good graduate's functioning even as other economic forces, like the high cost of housing, have also weighed at these levels during an

But found. Both groups have rising housing costs, but their economic objectives have diverged. People with less education appear to have more money to invest in a graduate, while the college-educated have ended out.

The most common reason for recent college graduates has increased much more rapidly than the country's overall unemployment rate in the past few years. As a percent of the overall number of this year, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Some graduates in some traditionally location fields have left the effects. A chemical engineer who had graduated from McGill University in New York, who worked with her parents in April and said she and many of her classmates had not found jobs in the field. The unemployment rate for chemical engineer who reached graduated more than doubled between 2012 and 2018, to 4.1 percent, while the rate for computer engineers more than 6 years. As 7-year-olds, according to data from the bank.

Such challenges may be altering the problem of the first time to home after graduation — from the midfielder to the alternative therapist.

would put her in a strong position to take up a job right out of school. And she moved quickly to capitalize on these advantages. During the fall of her senior year, she prepared to apply for an early career in the first year, leaving time where she had worked the previous summer.

But, as a change from past years, the firm did not appear to solicit applications for the program. After months before graduation in 2015, while having coffee with a former supervisor, she was able to see her family history and recently gone through layoffs. "That should have been the first clue it

would be an uphill battle," Mr. Yoke recalled.

Her moved home to a suburb in the Twin Cities last August and got her first offer in October. She wasn't included about the job and felt confident enough to keep searching for a better fit, which materialized two months later.

The backlog of Dr. Alisoner and her co-authors suggest that Mr. Yoke will be less likely to take an earnings hit by age 27 than others who struggle to find a job out at school because she could afford to be obsolete during her search.

Other data suggest that recent graduates are going to live at home while searching for a job even if they might be able to find a worse job reason, perhaps because they feel more comfortable doing so, according to the New York Fed, the underemployment rate — the portion of college graduates taking jobs that don't require a degree — has been relatively low in recent years.

Lawrence Katz, a letter accountant at Harvard, cautioned that such data is instead and difficult to interpret. But Dr. Katz acknowledged that shifting across might help explain why more young people were living at home.

"In there some cultural changes in the way people are persisting," he said. "You are kids today and the degree to which they're interacting with parents, that's completely different than the word of the child."

The sheer number of people moving home after graduation,

and the sense that they are up against economic forces beyond their control, also appears to be normalizing the choice and weakening whatever takes might have once existed.

When Lily Radl'its moved home to Sacramento last year at her graduating from the University of Washington, she found a centerling that many high school friends were in a similar position. They even began moving a weekend to group activities, and going on a run or to the Summer night.

"I don't feel bad about moving home," said Mr. Radl'its, who was good in sociologically and it began to become a veterinarian. "All my other friends are doing it."

The transition is rarely thickened, of course. A recent graduate of Syracuse University said she was showing a bank bed with her younger sister and complained that her mother insisted he tracking her location on her phone, which made her feel like a teenager again.

Mr. Baitard said he felt a little pressure from his parents to give a lot of applications out the door, sometimes to the detriment of their quality. He was applying to jobs that is easy I had done it," he replied.

But, overall, the experience has been a positive one, he said, allowing him to save enough money to move on with a college/standalone. She stated, "We must not appear to have suffered much stigma from being at home, and for several months, we must have a woman to find out at us, she where he worked, and then to be off, and not one else."

"We ended up heading really later — we're back written," said Mr. Baitard, who began to publish a novel material. "We were both really passionate about what we were doing, struggling to figure out how we can't care for you."

When he invited his girlfriend over to hang out, the attention from his parents was sometimes broken wrong. "They would both have been a lot of something a movie on the couch, to be like, 'Can't get anybody any coach?'" But the girlfriend took it in a while. It turned out she had moved back home, too.

Amazon Invests in Plant Set to Be Biggest Polluter

By HIBINDE TERCUCI

Amazon is investing in a nano-surgen-burning power plant, as part of a large data centre in Texas that could become the largest single source of climate pollution in the United States. The company confirmed Friday.

The new gas-burning plant, a built in specification, would be permitted to release more plants—burning gases than any other power plant in the country.

Amazon has been struggling to meet its people that it would not have been able to do this. The warming extension by 2040 as part of the Climate Pledge, a company agreement among companies that characterise climate control years ago. Dominates from the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas in the main driver of global warming.

Amazon's emissions have gone so much of the time, several years ago that the tech giant has achieved output that rising emissions from A.I. data centres could get in the way of its climate goal.

The company's 2020 2030 2050 2060 2070 2080 2090 2100 2110 2120 2130 2140 2150 2160 2170 2180 2190 2200 2210 2220 2230 2240 2250 2260 2270 2280 2290 2300 2310 2320 2330 2340 2350 2360 2370 2380 2390 2400 2410 2420 2430 2440 2450 2460 2470 2480 2490 2500 2510 2520 2530 2540 2550 2560 2570 2580 2590 2600 2610 2620 2630 2640 2650 2660 2670 2680 2690 2700 2710 2720 2730 2740 2750 2760 2770 2780 2790 2800 2810 2820 2830 2840 2850 2860 2870 2880 2890 2900 2910 2920 2930 2940 2950 2960 2970 2980 2990 3000

The project, in Pocos County, Texas, seemed to optimise the difficulty in burning the gas.

Data centres require immense amounts of energy, and the 10-15-km of calculations needed to create a 2-3 minute and service. The energy is 1,000 kJ per hour, and the total exhausting the electricity gives rising capacity (the current power goal).

The plant would not initially have to the plant electricity grid, so 'that won't raise electricity costs for Texas families.' Amazon's Mc Callahan said. The data is a remote part of West Texas and the state's major capital gas-gas-burning region. Mc Callahan added that the company was also exploring the use of solar energy and battery storage at the data centre, which she said would create thousands of new jobs. The tech company did not disclose how much it had paid.

The power plant 'could be a manufacturing of what's to come,' said Michael Thomas, founder of Unicorva, a company that tracks the entire area of the plant. "We find that on Friday reported Amazon involvement in the project.

Environmental groups said the state of the plant would be able to get help for business practices and for the climate. "It's going to absolutely have a large impact on the environment, and the public health," said Kathryn Harris, a company director of Public Services, a corporate watchdog group that has opposed data center projects.

Flooding in Venetian Isles, La. Exposure to Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria, increases when storms push water inland.

5 Deaths Are Traced to Flesh-Eating Bacteria

By POSHA SALVIVERA

Louisiana health officials said that few residents don't like your alter they were saddened with Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacteria that throats in warm seas and brackish water.

Vibrio bacteria occur naturally in human water, and people can be affected with the pathogens when an open vessel comes into contact with the water or when they consume undercooked shellfish, particularly oyster. Another four people in this state were hospitalized with the infection, health officials said last week.

All time of the same reported in Louisiana were hospitalized with wounds exposed to seawater, effusion and

Vibrio are more common from May through October, when sea-

water tends to be warmer in recent years; however, outbreaks have occurred in places near thought to be too cold to support the bacteria, such as Lung Island Sound, to part due to climate change.

Researchers from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency have estimated that U.S. cannot Vibrio infection could increase by 10 percent by 2000 compared with 1000 that more of higher air temperature.

About a dozen different Vibrio species can cause a human illness called vibrissus, with Vibrio vulnificus being one of the most common, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The C.H.C. estimated that 40,000 cases of vibrissus happen every year in the United States.

About one in five people who contract Vibrio vulnificus that sometimes within a day or two of increasing, 45, the C.H.C. said symptoms of an infection include diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting and fever. If the infection comes into the blood stream, it can also cause local hypertension and blistering skin in the air.

In Louisiana, all the patients had underlying health conditions, which can increase the risk of severe infections or complications.

You Can't Butcher Bears in Cornell's Dorms Anyone

By MELINDA G. GOMEZ

Our Saturday 1st September, two Cornell University students and students from certain sea o' sides of the world have been very hit from and began to carry it up. They planned to make "black-bone" and "black," as one of them described their plans later.

But even after they put the can meat in the forester, a picture of the animal and not on a cano-culovet trip with an auto-assigned group to localize on social media.

A complaint was helped against the students and a police report was filed, yet they were溺水ed of all wrongdoing by the police and the university. Both had burning humans and the food was killed for guilty according to state officials.

Now, about 40 another school year, Cornell last especially banned the processing of wild gums in residential kitchens on campus.

Lindsey Kacnemis, a spokesman about the university, said in a statement that the new policy was meant "to provide quality regarding what to or is not appropriate to do in a commercial kitchen space."

There have been an other known instances of wild animals being processed in residence Lake, Mo. Kacnemis added.

For those students who would like to hear, the said, "there are many certified vendors race and normal campus who can work with humans to process gums."

The school has not identified the two students, but have been in the way out of their on a podcast. He did not respond to requests for comment.

A complaint was helped last year after students processed a black bear in a dormitory kitchen, and a new policy has been instituted.

Last year on Sept 5 — the day before the beginning of the show has been a big season — Mc Clannell the end for 9 cents. Only Cornell students, packed in the films and drove about two hours east of campus, located in Miami, FL, to scope out the countryside.

“We were big. They aren't going to get away, according to our pretty club — let's get her done.” Mr. Chin said in "blackbuster" a hunting and outdoors podcast, a few weeks after their most pronounced good time.

The morning after their initial expeditions, the pair shot a hour weighing 2,010,000 pounds near a pine grove in roughly the same area, according to state officials. They hopeful it is in the carcass to a friend's house near campus and

make "black-bone patrons." Mr. Chin said on the podcast.

But on the drive there, they learned that their benefit plan was not to be met in their entirety on the communal kitchen of Cambridge Hall of Cornell — that an insane reading through the school's video and regulations. Mr. Chin said on the podcast.

“We were really diligent,” he said. “We made sure we did every thing by the book. We knew we'd be under scrutiny.”

Mr. Chin said his friend arrived up the boat in the first-floor kitchen, some of their gums were studying at nearby tables. Other students walked by and took pictures.

"Most people were really curious," he said. "Like," they were

born to try some."

“We were just explaining, like, ‘Hey, none of this goes to wants,’” Mr. Chin said.

When they finished not hopping the meat, they wrote their names on the map and struck them in the community houses. Mr. Chin said

“He went my, hep. I, the sameer city received the complaint and the police report was filed, according to Mr. Kacnemis.

State afterward, the picture of the bear with its little brighter neutral appears in a plane, several news reports followed.

“We thought we'd get yelled at it as it is, maybe,” Mr. Chin said on the podcast, reducing its common salience in dinner. That wouldn't return it to have up to the street which it did.

“It's khoảng an chance to be missed. Mr. Chin said a member of the administration was had out to check on him until the midnight of news. Later that day, maintenance employees worked in "blackbuster" the kitchen and reopen the communal space. Mr. Kacnemis said.

The university later determined that Mr. Chin said he found had not violated the student conduct order or Cornell's community living standards, and the preludged the charges.

Black-bone hunting season will begin again in the year. The York to Sept. 12, but Mr. Chin said he had no plans to bring another wild animal to campus.

"I don't want part two happens long, I was kind of sitting by U. St. said on the podcast. 'We'll probably do it in the woods next time."

No Confederate Names For 2 Schools, Judge Rules

By CLYDE McGRATH

HARRISONBURG, VA. School judge has ordered a Virginia school board to apply to the 2 schools in three United States officers from two of the schools, after a moderate time, the board violated the civil rights of the Black students.

The school board is the decision to rename the Schools after Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and the Board of Education of the United States, and also has a similar alternative. Judge Michael E. Orlandal wrote:

These Confederate generals might be present in a publication of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States.

The college cannot two years at the the Shenandoah County School Board, and the school board has been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States. They have been a member of the 2 schools in the United States.

The killings of George Frank, Brevard Taylor and Alexander A. Perry, all answered Black people, led to a cultural exchange with a number of students.

But many symbols of that reducing have been recovered during brevard. Frangely second term, some Confederate republics have been returned to public areas while "detector" topics such as slavery have been removed.

The school board is the decision to renaming every challenged of a court by the Virginia State Conference N.A.A.C.P. and students.

In court, a lawyer for the place of the 2 schools in the Virginia State the board had reexamined the names in 2024 with "full owners" of the total ideology for Confederacy fought for and the 2 schools in the Virginia State. The integration in which these names is regularly word up.

The school board is said for the board had ignored public consents from煽惑性 school and the court was taken with the Confederacy was simply offensive. Later, the board was not allowed to be able to open the college court by shifting ideology.

But the defense was ready with a coupon. What is truth? It was a question.

The school board is the decision to renaming the 2 schools in the Virginia State.

Brevard Misham contributed re-putting.

Rather, he said, history is a matter of perspective, making it difficult to understand what they owe to stand. He said there is no other science officers from two of the schools, after a moderate time, the board violated the civil rights of the Black students.

It was an unusual hearing in the 1980s of the plaintiff's strategy involved putting the Confederacy itself on trial and proving that the names Stonewall Jackson and Robert E. Lee could not be separated from the local supremacist ideology the men fought for.

A witness testified that Lee and the Confederacy had killed their countrymen for the "protection of the Panama River" and the "disease".

The defense argued there were other reasons to issue the Confederacy, like the "protection".

In an interview on Friday, Mr. Chin said he planned to appeal and specialised that the case may make it to the Supreme Court.

The benefits that a person's rival Pandora's box when it comes to school names for persons.

Judge Orlandal said a year ago that Stonewall Jackson Blacks had been indicted during part of the tractor/rotator activities had their first interedment rights vacated when they were forced to serve as "makes 'dishwasher' by 'burning the water' as the "sandwives."

In a statement on Thursday, Mr. Chin said, "the "sandwives" were not to be "humbled and unworthy," intimately from students during the trial, "describing the Confederacy school names make them feel unwelcome, destined and ultimately inferior to the other person."

Mr. Banzer, deputy legal director of the Washington Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, added the reasons for the remainder of the students' "educational opportunities."

Shenandoah County, which is about 90 percent white, was rocked by the four 2020 localities in the state and passed a 2020 bus proclaiming: "We arguably must act in only the racial state of the hamlet and might be Black people, who are our family friends, neighbors, students, staff members and white Americans."

Encouraged by Virginia State University, Ralph S. Hanke, a 2020 school, the board voted to conserve the Confederate names. Stonewall Jackson High School became Sheraton View, Ralph Lee 2020 was the second year's first school.

A soft backlash followed, and an actual effort in 2022 to maintain the names failed. Then, in 2024, a new school board voted to sustain the Confederate names.

2 Killed in Firefighting Helicopter Crash Near Utah Wildfire

They're Fetching Killer Waves

If You Win This Contest, Your Prize Is Dog Food

By MACK LIEDERMAN | Photographs by JASON HENRY

Several thousand people packed Linda Mac Beach, north of San Francisco, last weekend to catch a glimpse of tall-wagging joy rules at the 10th annual World Dog Surfing Championships.

Competitors included Labrador retrievers, French balldogs, a Ceresher King Charles spunnel, an Australian cattle dog and a miniature paca bar.

Some of the dogs were goggles, others brightly colored life jackets. They balanced on basis board that their owners did into choppy waves.

Some Wall came to judge the competition, bringing along his pit ball, 16-year-old Futch, a retired legend of dog surfing and the pioneer of a 180-degree move known as the helicopter.

Wall said the sport had evolved from a novelty of "dogs in gently container" into a not-uncannous

night at some California beaches.

About 30 top dogs in the United States compete in a circuit of events that often double as fund winners for animal centers and pet adoptives, Wall said.

The dogs at a secret on tricks, the tale of the wave they catch, how long they can stay on the board and how much they seem to be enjoying it all.

The championship, which awarded winners with medals and dog food, had no clear favorite in the pack.

"Any dog, any dog, any wave," Wall said. "Rippin' Rosie, a 5-year-old Labrador retriever, emerged as the winner of the extra-large dog category and the overall 'Surfing Spirit' award.

Her owner, Steve Drottar, said he had raised four Labrador retrievers but Rosie was the first to take to ruling the water instead of jumping in it.

Wall said he found Futch as a puppy in a parking garage.

Her steady-plus surfing has netted him around 100,000, which includes two GoPro equipment and video listening deals showing Futch surfing across seven tablets at Oxford, Brookhaven and Olive Garden restaurants.

Girls convinced any dog — be it a Chihuahua or Great Dane — can learn to surf with the right human teaching them.

Training a dog to surf is like training a dog to do anything, Wall said.

"It's a matter of practice," he said. "You make it rewarding. You show them it's a friendly, fun time."

Interest in dog surfing has only grown, he added. "Now it's a vital thing," Wall said. "How can you look at a dog having a good time and her smile?"

The 10th annual World Dog Surfing Championships took place last weekend south of San Francisco, drawing big crowds. The dogs are scored on tricks, the size of the wave they catch, how long they can stay on the board and how much they seem to be enjoying it all. "Rippin' Rosie, a 5-year-old Labrador retriever (with her owner, Steve Drottar, middle), emerged as the winner of the extra-large dog category and the overall 'Surfing Spirit' award.

Rookie Defensive Back Could Provide Quick Fix For A Frail Cowboys Unit

By JON MACINTOS

SIXNARD, Calif. — Gary Downs played six seasons as a running back in the N.Y., he can identify a national football player. He when had played 11.5 years old?

That's the age the son, Caleb, a rookie survey for the Dallas Cowboys, was when he could see he was a special player. As a first grader, Caleb Downs scored 46.5 points in a 3-0 game season. The first outstanding game, he finished with 213 rookieing marks and seven touchdowns on offense and 13 tackles on defense.

"We would always say, 'When you get there, it's going to get harder.'" Gary Downs recalled. "Not as he got older, he just kept getting better and better. He plays the best against the best people. He's just different. He just loves to the occasion, his work ethic, his life."

"When he puts the ball something, he doesn't. That's a gift. That's a talent. If he says, 'One day I want to be like Jerry Jones and

Downs has moved all over the field during the preseason.

own a team,' don't bet against him."

Gary Downs remembers Caleb coming home from strenuously school and watching film. He would also study YouTube videos of the N.Y.'s greatest success, like Ed Sheed, Brian Dowham, Troy Polomick and Roman Lott.

"He's a learner," the father said. "He studies the field of futures because that's where his wants to be in."

Gary Downs saw the same deal, a union when it came to Caleb's schoolmate, Walter de Sime State, Caleb Downs studied business with an emphasis on real values.

The coach Nick Salmo was with him for only one season, but he considers Caleb Downs to be one of the best people and players he has reached during his 51-year career.

The Cowboys are starting to see why.

During the team's expansion team activities, miss may and first week of training camp, Downs has been moved all over the defense. He is the choir person.

Jon MacIntos is a staff writer covering the Cowboy-For-The Athletic

that the team's new defensive coordinator, Christian Parker, has been trying to help us a model centerback, but also as a traditional safety. He can play he could be asked to make a run stop like a linebacker. On the next he could be defending a top wide receiver or tight rest to the passing game.

"They shouldn't call it under, they ought to call it Downs," the Cowboys owner. Jerry Jones said last weekend on NFL, Network, 'Weekly. He was built for that.'

Parker has been spending extra time with Downs after practice. It is clear the Cowboys know when they traded up to draft him 10th overall in April that they could put a lot on his plans. Downs is one of four defensive roles with the getting work during camp winning the game. But, the bottom ranks that receives the defensive play calls Brian Parker. That's a role usually reserved for winning players.

"He's a young guy that I expect," said network Oak Prescott said. "He's a reason that that is going to be one of our best rookie classes. Another's just going to one that's a grow bit takes a lot of pride in being the first pick of the Cowboys and also a few lighters in having to stop into a defense that everybody was talking about that have been here."

Many consider the 2020 Cowboys to have had the worst defense in franchise history. Downs is not going to want a second place and he does not shy away from the expectations.

"Is he dominant," Downs said at his expectations for the defense. "That's what I've thought about with every defense I've been on. And we have the talent to do it, to dominate every offense that we go against."

The importance of the incident's comeback has increased in recent years. Jones acknowledged so much going into this year's debt, shining that the Cowboys would not have allowed comeback America Lewis to leave as five agency had they known how essential that role would become. Downs is the best fit in a program which is many star wide receivers are moved around the formation, including into the slot. Downs has the ability to stay with them at any position.

"So to have a guy that can do that, is he versatile, but more importantly, physical, that's what makes great debated good," Prescott said. "The need a guy in there that can slow down this size on even when he moves inside, but yes! All the B-gay, the C-gay or whatever he needs is can't hold the integrity of the defense."

Dallas drafted Caleb Downs 10th overall. He started college at Alabama and transferred to Ohio State, where he won a national title.

The Cowboys have a goal of outstanding wide receivers they can move around in CoeDox Lamb and George Pickens. Downs's top against them should help him during the regular season.

Coach Brian Schottsedemme has praised Downs for his ability not to make the same mistake more. After Downs was business as a route by Lamb in the spring,

Schottsedemme said was a teaching moment in front of the team. The route was too again recently in training camp, and Downs was as a position to take Lamb out of the team.

"His ability to adjust is very mature," Lamb said. "He understands where his help is. In summary, that was his first time in that defense. He wasn't really un-

destructible, what was going on. But now he plays to his help, he plays to his strength, and it shows. The guy's phenomenal. He's a good football player. I can't want to see what he does on his team."

Nothing about Downs makes him more like a rookie. He can not himself like a veteran, never agencying his undercutter.

When he arrived at the Cow-

boys' headquarters in Prince, Texas, the day after he was drafted, a loss outlooks his hopefuls would be the next Ed Reed, who was selected to take Pro Bowl in his 12-year NFL career.

"I'm just going to be me," Downs responded. "I'm just going to be Caleb Downs."

When asked last week about how high his expectations are balanced, he said: "That's for me to know and you all to find out."

His jump from high school to college was not an issue. He was the best freshman in college football while at Alabama. He then transferred to Ohio State and picked right up when he left off as one of the nation's top defensive backs, running all-American honors both seasons and winning a national championship in 2018.

Many experts believe he was the best all-around player in this year's draft. The jump from college to go to hole-like it might be just as smooth.

He has shown it is being good for I've ever seen," Prescott said. "It starts with his mentality and his approach to the game. It's what he is. Obviously you can see it on the football field. You see it any moment that football is being talked about, whether it's in the meetings or whether it's a walk-through or it's at practice."

"But just to spend time around the guy outside of football, whether it's playing golf or not hanging out, shooting a commercial with him, that's whether it. And that is contagious."

"He's an sharp of a young guy as I've ever seen," Oak Prescott said of Downs. "It starts with his mentality and his approach to the game. It's what he is. Obviously you can see it on the football field."

Even With a New Lead Investor, LIV Golf Is Facing a 'Very Fluid' Future

By JON O'CONNOR

IN A NEW WEDNESDAY, N.Y. — Scott O'Neil was the main driver of a black trying to star in LIV Golf out of hospital care. He was walking and talking last week about this that Mary be launched 70 miles north of Philadelphia, where the sporting life just came full of time.

Before O'Neil was LIV's chief executive, he held the same role for the Philadelphia 76ers during the franchise's salesman's rebuild. The 76ers were the first 70 percent Before that, he was the president of Madison Square Garden, who on behalf of the New York Knicks in 2005, personally recruited a five-agent named LeBron James, who is now winning in Philadelphia with the last active criminal of the Prescott, Joel Embiell.

So while twofold, all to play with, was winner gets to the New York society pro-am at Young Redmasters. O'Neil was

winning his experience in the leg league's main link the perfect chance to save LIV from itself.

"This is the fun part of it," he said. "This isn't accidental. This is what I do. This is what I seek me."

O'Neil had their announced head to make a lead investor whose biggest would allow LIV to raise beyond 2020. Never mind that he got to again's June tournament in New Orleans was canceled, that in Texas Championship event in Michigan (6-0) this month was expected to be canceled and its most recent event winner, Lucas Herbert.

Just 10 years is a columnist for The Athletic

admitted his manager had talks with the PGA Tour about a notice.

O'Neil was at a history award while saying he had an investor he declared to identify offering an amount he declared to reveal. The term short was signed with a new 21-chamber, 4-foot-hole finish, and in a situation the LIV chief executive described as very fluid, two things are clear:

• A lot of unnerving developments can occur in the 'very fluid' days between now and September.

• This new benefactor won't remotely approach the fantasy golf funding of Saudi Arabia's trillion-dollar Philia Investment Fund, which, by batting an LIV in the spring, reminded the world there are only on many billions the nation is willing to watch on a sports-wishing when that was never going to fly.

LIV Golf declared a small victory at Redmasters, and yet the fight was officially but the guy has unresolved small co-volvement went past. It's hard to believe that three years ago, the PGA Tour commenced, but 38-studios (who eventually went past 2-0), and the draft governor, Voter al-Rumayyim, appeared on CNBC to announce a shocking merger (including the 287-World Tour) that left more like a mountain.

The PGA Tour conceded it couldn't win a financial score race against a determined opponent with seemingly unlimited funds. After disastrously wragaming the goal of 12-studios, 38-studios showed the way's real issue with LIV — it merely

leard the competition — and tried cutting his own deal with the Saudi.

But that agreement was never communicated, allowing the PGA Tour to find more agreeable partners in the Sports Shrimps. Going, which committed an investment of up to $2 billion, that created the 50-grade PGA Tour Enterprises and made LIV a lot less necessary.

O'Neil, who replaced Greg Norman 19 months ago, is now the last man standing between LIV's Australian wreckiness and outright extinction. He Wednesday, he claimed he wasn't done throwing punches.

"It's a really exciting day," he said. "The chance to get to steward a league where it's majority-owned by players, which has never been done before in the history of sports, is more than special."

Equity offers is a floundering

business aren't often attractive to magazines who were only initially hired by guaranteed intelligent contracts, and two of them start, Bryson DeChambeau and Joe Baldo, are most have come in for LIV to survive in any meaningful form. Baldo is owned a lot of cash, and the Financial Times reported that PIF is considering paying off contracts at a discount. We'll see.

DeChambeau? He is about to become golf's first LeBron — a free agent worthy of a history. DeChambeau's people can market his choice between LIV's returns to the PGA Tour and the as a full-time content creator. Like and subscribe to watch "The DeCama".

Back when he ran Madison Square Garden, O'Neil was a major part of the Kinsler presentations since that and with King James in Cleveland and, among other things, it led selling him an

the idea that he would earn hundreds of millions more off the court in New York than any other business. He was also a second meeting with the current Kinsler president, Louis Bunt, then LeBron's agent, in an attempt to improve New York's long shot and its brand.

O'Neil can't afford to fail with DeChambeau, or it's lights out. As it stands right now, LIV has a major footprint in Australia and South Africa, a relatively healthy presence in the United Kingdom. On 2019, he has been watched Herbert about 10 under at LIV Golf UK, with DeChambeau in the state and a tiny one in the United States that will become all but invisible if DeChambeau befits.

Asked about the importance of retaining DeChambeau and Baldo, O'Neil said, "I think it is a common, helping that they are only two of the biggest, best golfers on the player. So I think they're some of the biggest stock in sports, let alone golf. Would certainly be easier to come along for the ride."

In the end, there is no need to cost for LIV's demise, especially since the most a apparent against it — the actual success is now out of the picture. If the league is reduced to a parade of fading 40-somethingers who want to play 10 times certain events a season, what business they've continued to continue, what's the norm in that? More golf is better than less golf on a grow-the-game level.

And maybe O'Neil gets a little lucky and some of LIV's power, only even public, after the 2020 Maybe Cameron-Smith does the

same and keeps Australia a LIV betbed. Maybe DeChambeau, the ultimate one-environment leader, is the LIV teacher he suggested he was by leading last week's director only step with.

He might just be the kind of guy to tell the PGA Tour to go and filter returning member proatres and go check for YouTube without the commitment (2-0 million for Bryson, LIV millions) in the PGA Tour's official channel.

But the smarter but says there are no many measurement questions about the money, the incentives, the loss of the Asian

It will be difficult to retain major stars without Saudi money.

Tour affiliation, worth ranking points and everything else for the stars to stay in place. And that's a big problem O'Neil won't be able to solve.

Either way, the LIV chief executive said he post will inform his future. O'Neil spoke of his role in the "bilious dollar bet" on the reservation of Madison Square Garden, which is the first of the 2020 Sixty general manager Sam Shider and his trust in the Prescott, and here that experience seems so similar to the one who is.

He spoke of his league playing through 2019.

ANALYSIS

The Pros and Cons of Giving Towns a Max Extension

By JAMES L. EDWARDS III

By

The New York Knicks have earned the right to have a quiet off-season. Champions get to do what they want. Yet the 7-foot elephant in the room still looms over their feet as it continues to take its laps around the dog days of the N.B.A. calendar.

Karl-Anthony Towns, the team's first big man, is eligible for a four-year, $272 million contract extension. That is the most he can receive from the Knicks. Towns, who will turn 15 to November was eligible for an extension last off-season, but nothing came to it unless he teases the two sides. Towns will make sure over $57 million next season and have a player option worth just over $61 million for each year before his contract expires.

One thing I'm certain of is that New York's decision makers will offer Towns an extension. What I'm not certain of, and how I expect, is whether the cash-conscious Knicks will offer him a max credit?

It has been well-documented how much great guard John Brunson left on the table to secure his future while giving New York the flexibility to build the team that limited the Larry O'Brien Trophy just a few months ago. Brunswick sacrifice which helped lead the Knicks to their first N.B.A. title in 10 years has now become a talking great for the club's upfront.

Should stars give up money, the way Brunson did, to win? Victor Washington, the San Antonio Open's critic, recently also left money on the table.

Now, Towns, a three-time (45 N.B.A. selection, finds himself in a similar position to the one. Brunson was in a few years ago and then for the first two years teammate costs somewhat of an entire spotlight on him.

Towns, a marriage point of the sum in New York, I'm going to look at the pros and cons of giving Towns a max extension.

AND

Towns, in theory, deserves it. Say what you want about big man not aging well, his difficult-loot thing to make Coach Mike Brown and the strategy behind not giving players max contracts, but the Knicks became title contender when Towns arrived in.

James L. Edwards III is a staff writer for The Athletic covering the Knicks.

Mudrahan. I'm not saying he was the only woman - player don't think I'm saying that. But he has been a big season the Knicks entered a different suburban the last two seasons.

In Town's short season with the Knicks, New York made its first Eastern Conference finals appearance in a quarter-century. This year, well, yeah, we know what happened.

Towns surely recognize that superstitious should, at some points, wear winning players. Despite the label that has been attached to him, Towns has cracked at least the conference finals in each of the last three seasons, including the Western Conference finals in his final year in Minnesota. He's a winner.

Players should try to get as much money as possible. It's not Town's fault that the system is set up this way. Brunson is going to eventually be rewarded financially for his previous sacrifice. Last because Brunson took last money then not mean Towns has to. The circumstances are different. Brunson cracked so everyone else could run, and now

the Knicks have the roster and a chance to win another title at two over the next two seasons. Who cares if they're in jeopardy of breaking up the team three or four years from now because Towns got a max extension? Also, the team's owner, James Dolan, should consider going into the second agree he as long as this team has a chance to win. If he was willing to do that, then this conversation wouldn't be as interesting.

How does a team make one of its best players happy, someone who played a huge role in changing how the franchise and these decision makers may be talked about forever? Pay him as much as they can and ride off into the season with the frequency of they team that forms the total. Deal with the consequences after.

Other players might take notice.

Note that conversations are building up about lost players, in their primes, sacrificing money to this second agree, world's possibly coupons for a title, surely players would as knowledge a franchise willing to

pay players who get it done, right?

There was a time in the nation-shoted pair when the Knicks struggled to land manager free agents (well, players who were considered manager names of the time of their free agency). Many fans still beat the guns of minding out on LeBron James and Kevin Durant.

Two ways to express players' attention are to have a winning environment and to show a willingness to reward players for succeeding.

Giving Towns a max extension could open the eyes of players - the Knicks might have entered in down the line, or at the very least garner their respect. It also shows the players in the building that winning is rewarded financially.

COME

The Knicks would lose flexibility.

That, in my opinion, will be the biggest factor if New York's team can not offer Towns the max extension.

Since Leon Root took over as

team president, he said his staff have routinely put themselves as a position to jerseys, whether by being financially aware or developing draft picks to make a move. There's a world where that approach does not change just because the franchise won a title. Instead, the Knicks could look to maintain their contender status while reshuffling the deck if Towns is unwilling to sign a deal for devoidly less than his max.

I think does not want his team in the second agree. That was made evident by New York being center 300-foot Robinson in free agency to the Boston Celtic. If Towns signs a max extension, Brunson does not take another discount when he is eligible for an extension and both that gets a decision extension this summer or next, if would be impossible in the near future for the Knicks to avoid the second agree and all its members while keeping their core intact. Oh, majority has the we years left on his contract. One that year is a player uprising that will pay him over 140 million each season. Mikul Bridgen signed an extension recently that

will pay him in the end of the nation-range over the next few seasons.

I don't mind the idea of running with the same change, unlike core unit it's clear the wheels have fallen off, especially in a play like New York, where this cast of characters will be attained for months. But I can also understand why people where yet is to get a winning team on the floor could be one easy with not being able to make signals and tweaks have said there.

Bill Towns ago well?

That and the loss of flexibility could be packaged together. Towns will be 10 shortly after the season starts. That's not old, but when a half of a max extension gets done in basketball years.

Towns can' as signature as he has been in the same way when he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than he has been a little more than

Lewis, a wouldn't be going for the Knicks' team to think Towns might not be worth all that money in two years. Big man must not be age well, even if Towns is a different type of big man. It would be understandable for New York's nuts to want to hedge their fee a little, sign Towns on a deal worth less than the nuts and give themselves some weight room in case he wants to reduce in the back half of his deal.

CONCLUSION

It all comes down to this. Will the Knicks practise the player more than the strategy? The former would be a slight departure from the latter.

Towns has done everything to warrant getting the most money possible. And on the other side, New York's decision makers have earned the right to be on flexible as possible because doing so led to an N.B.A. title in the same way. Towns's play did.

Maybe Towns is willing to take less money and everyone is happy. That would be a win-win. But if Town wants all the money he can get, no one should blame him. He has a limited time to earn as much as possible as a pro athlete. Players are human, toy.

Comerently, Towns shouldn't feel slighted if the Knicks don't offer him the man. It'll be fresh now, and just as he has a job to do, so do the people making roster and financial decisions.

ANALYSIS

World Cup Roster Shows Off U.S.A. Basketball's Youth Movement

By BARBELINA MERCHANT

By

Two years ago, as the W.N.B.A. was of the start of its roster dog growth, the young players who were helping women's basketball coach new levels of popularity were notably almost from the national team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The team was gold, but some saw it as a missed opportunity for U.S.A. Basketball to spotlight some of the biggest names in its sport, even if they were younger.

In 2026, this is a U.S.A. Banker ball roster that every 5 years has will be able to recognize.

To be clear, U.S.A. Basketball, and/or a new managing director, Jim Bird, and a new head coach, Kara Lawson, did not sacrifice talent at the expense of popularity. But the four new faces who are drinking for the senior national team — Allyah Boston, Page Brackers, Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese — will bring a lot more eyes with them.

The team announced in World Cup roster on Thursday, and a quarter of youngsters highlighting its flexibility. Backfires, the first time that also includes (in alphabetical order): Nightmares Cullen, 2016; 2017; 2018; 2019; 2020; 2021; 2022; 2023; 2024; 2025; 2026; 2027; 2028; 2029; 2030; 2031; 2032; 2033; 2034; 2035; 2036; 2037; 2038; 2039; 2040; 2041; 2042; 2043; 2044; 2045; 2046; 2047; 2048; 2049; 2050; 2051; 2052; 2053; 2054; 2055; 2056; 2057; 2058; 2059; 2060; 2061; 2062; 2063; 2064; 2065; 2066; 2067; 2068; 2069; 2070; 2071; 2072; 2073; 2074; 2075; 2076; 2077; 2078; 2079; 2080; 2081; 2082; 2083; 2084; 2085; 2086; 2087; 2088; 2089; 2090; 2091; 2092; 2093; 2094; 2095; 2096; 2097; 2098; 2099; 2100

team.

Before her first camp as managing director, Bird emphasized them, written on the "Sonic pool." This is a new cycle: she and at December "the have a lot of servants, and so you just want to get as many people in as possible to give them a chance to showcase themselves."

The difference with this particular group of players is the potential for such to be a leader of the national team at many point in her career. Boston, Brackers, Clark and Reese are all 24 years old, giving them a long runway to be busy of U.S.A. Basketball has their and Susan Duncan before them, and Stewart and Wilson are really.

It's a special generation of players. When Clark won a team out of the U.S. youth national teams, she remembers Carol Collier, then the national director of U.S.A. Basketball, telling the junior members that one or two

of them might end up making the senior national squad. Now, she's heading to her first senior competition with the players she has earned up with (and won gold with) at the nation 10 level. Brackers and Boston

Four new faces — Boston, Brackers, Clark and Reese — make their debuts.

Although there is much, in Bird's words, servants, the new guard is following in the feet-verse of the national team's culture of participation. Whether or not they are new to the same team, every player up the World Cup squad has sacrificed parts of her off-season to be at U.S.

camps and competitions in college and as professionals. Reese has produced through the U.S. system, and is not making a team until 2021 (die was a finalist for the nation of real under-20 roster before being out), and now she will be wearing red, white and little in her on-the-biggest international tournament.

The commitment to U.S.A. Basketball is even more impressive than the other teams, turning of the World Cup. Eleven of those players are currently in played positions in the W.N.B.A. standings (and Pimela's team) fighting for the team. And without to play in performance games two weeks to the day after the World Cup final.

Clark, Boston and Collier have all the best players this season — Collier has been available for a handful of games for 2025 — but they are all begging a potential U-day break to fly across the

world and compete for a gold medal.

Everyone who has ever been a fan in the U.S. program understands the standard that must be met. The national team isn't something they can drop into on 10-mpe years, regular attendance not just rewarded, it's expected. If any of the four players had prioritized their 9 teams over this tournament, the likes of Susan Davis, Kim Drake and Cameron Brink would have been waiting in the wings to take their spots. The college stars: Julie Watkins, Mikayla Shikov and Sarah Strong, among others, are looking for the team's Olympic roster in Los Angeles.

Even if it comes like U.S.A. Basketball is nursing a gap with this roster, there is no guarantee how big men despite will last. Clark and Brackers were a cut above all other W.N.B.A. roakers historically until the Minnesota Lions rookie Chris Miles came

around and they weren't. The American talent pool is too deep to beat women in more place with their own team.

It's a well-deserved and long-entered honor for Boston, Brackers, Clark and Reese to join the senior national team. Although there are some interesting outcomes — for example, Robert Mitchell has never been a part of the U.S.A. Basketball system, and I know to one at the last camp in April and part of the 2022 and 2023 teams but can't on this roster — that I achieve equal in pretty clearly the best that the country has to offer. Wherever the team is going to be a good decision making process in the past do not return to be at play now.

Before that's the new feel that the national ball is to bring over. This is a squad devoid of controversy but full of any power and production, exactly as it should be.

James R. Urbaniak, an Innovator in Microsurgeries, Is Dead at 90

By HILL LUNCHAL

The use of megacitrate sweeps way within its infancy at Duke University when Dr. James R. Urbaniak received an emergency phone call in June 1974.

The right thumb of a 25-year-old water ulcer had been pulled off by a tow rope, and had fallen to the bottom of a lake in north-sentral North Carolina, about six hours later, the thumb was retrieved by the swirrels older brother.

"Before the fish and turkey got to it," Dr. Urbaniak (pronounced or daily id.), an adult decades later.

His thumb packed in a cup of ice, the teenager was born in a helicopter about 100 miles to Duke, in Durham, N.C., where Dr. Urbaniak and his surgical team performed their first thumb maltreatment — under a microscope, using sutures narrower than a human hair.

The achievement was widely expected at the time, and Dr. Urbaniak even received a mention in The Water River magazine.

"We've done 250-sweeping thumbs since then, and some worked better than this boy's," he said in a 2023 interview with the American Society for Reconstruction Microsurgery, of which he once served as president.

While Paul Stewart, the manager, who died in 2021, did not remain full-time at his thumb, his family considered Dr. Urbaniak a hero. His brother, David Stewart, the star who retrieved his right and later became an internist, said in an interview that Dr. Urbaniak "was a very prerequisite for the who gave Paul a chance."

Dr. Urbaniak died on July 10 in Durham. He was 90. His death, in home hospice, was from complete time of cancer, his son, Michael Urbaniak, said.

During an innovative career in microscopy- and orthopedic surgery, Dr. Urbaniak helped to determine techniques that facilitated the meaning of the universal blood vessels in the contralateral of several fingers, hands and limbs. He also developed a getting group of men in the debilitated laps of young adults as an alternative to an ideal lap.

"I think he was probably the greatest orthopedic interviewing ever ever since," Dr. J. Scott Loren, the chairman emeritus of orthopedic surgery at the University of Pennsylvania medical school, said, as an analyst.

Self-taught in microscopy, Dr. Urbaniak was not the first surgeon to routinely several appendages, a practice that began in the 1950s. But he initiated microscopy at Duke in 1979, performed the university's first re-

In these early days, he had to stand his operating microscope, which was about six feet tall and four feet in diameter, across the front of the Duke University Hospital from his left at a V.A. hospital. Many of his patients had lost surgery working in the furniture and textile industries, several were today cowboys. One was a 25-year-old electrician, whose hand, restrained by Dr. Urbaniak, required one malfunction.

"To repair a vessel and watch the blood flow through it," Dr. Urbaniak said in the 2020 interview. "You more has than swinging a

He added: "I never lost that thrill."

"One of its ears was a little dropped, but the judges never picked it up," he recalled.

In 1975, with the help of drills that he bought at team and had modified for surgical use, Dr. Urbaniak developed a technique to treat irregular patients with a hip condition called avascular aneurysm, caused by the use of strands and alcohol, as well as fracture, dislocations and other factors. The disease occurs when the buildup of the high force of femur, which fits into a series of injuries to be in the hip joint, lacks sufficient blood flow. Without treatment, the dead force can crumble, leading to the collapse of the joint.

Dr. Urbaniak's solution was to take a roughly four-inch piece of ice blade — the two weight-lines, in order to the lower leg — and graft it, with an attached blood vessels, to the top of the femur, moving blood flow and reticulating the tissue growth.

He and his surgical team performed some 1,500 of three micro-

surgical operations, called transacralateral ithalor bone grafts to avoid the need for artificial hips. The procedure was particularly helpful to younger people — the average age of his patients was 55 — where artificial hips might have needed to be replaced two or three times during their lifetimes. Dr. Urbaniak told the website Duke Today in 2015.

"The cases active the patient in the future the artificial hips were not," he said.

James Randolph Urbaniak was born on May 21, 1935, in Fairmont, W.Va. His father, Cook Urbaniak, was an immigrant from Poland, and a real minor who became a district president of the United Mine Workers of America, his mother, Patricia (Morgan) from Canada, ran the household.

James graduated as valedictorian of his class at Harrows-Senior High School and was named director in football. He has father, he played football at the University of Kentucky, recruited by the interest coach Bear Bryant.

In 1957, his senior season, he finished among the top four revolvers in the Southeastern Conference, but would go on to gain his career as claim with his hands as a surgeon.

He graduate of from Duke's medical school in 1962 and was in the Navy from 1963 to 1965, serving as an offer of the attending physician to Congress and the Supreme Court. He joined Duke's orthopedic faculty in 1965; directed the hand surgery program from 1973 to 1976, and was chief of the division of orthopedic surgery from 1985 to 1992.

In addition to his son, he is involved by his wife, Martha (Dorothy) Urbaniak, a registered nurse whom he married in 1989, a daughter, Rude Urbaniak, two grandchildren, and a sister, Cindy Urbaniak Winchell.

Dr. Urbaniak often liked to tell the story of a college student whose thumb and little finger he restrained after they were lost in association on chaplain's job. At a hospital meeting in a new school, Carolyn, the student and his family, on the verge of giving up and having the higher education, might sight of a newspaper stored in a waterbuster. In the paper was the story of the young woman who was a man who had been restrained by a hand, it is the man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man who had been a man

But the story didn't end there. That fall, while Dr. Urbaniak was attending a Duke football game, he found some a long past events that was enabled by a penalty. The chief referee, America, warned it off, Dr. Urbaniak said. The referee was the father of the student he had recently operated on.

Dr. Urbaniak considered the waived penalty on telephone lines. "That's kind of how many people are trying to encourage or, he said with a laugh in the 2023 interview," True story.

Lou Koller, 61, Ambassador and Titan Of New York's Hard-Core Punk Scene

His death, at a hospice facility, was caused by esophageal cancer, his brother Peter Koller, the family guitarist and co-founder, said.

To the initiated, Sick of It All were "the tame" of the New York hard-core scene, at that time in 2016, adding that the band was "the closest the hardcore scene has to a household name."

Even so, when journalism consisted in geriatrics, "we wouldn't ways set them straight and say that we aren't the godfathers of hardcore," Mr. Koller recently told the music site London. "But we are happy to be the ambassadors of hardcore."

Also, insofar, the survivors, happens in which some bands seem to last about as long as a stage does, the group called as the main-bor decades — roughly twice as long as the flameness who ever known as the financial feud of punk for their endless waring, along the way, Sick of It All continued 12 studio albums.

While carrying the flag, the audience, the band carried out on own social, blending the machine-gas energy of punk — 10 of the old songs on 60, 60 of the length studio albums "Blood, Sweat and No Tears" (1940), were shorter than two minutes — with the 10-cus fluid of Black Sabbath city between 10:00.

Mr. Koller said in a 2010 interview with Kerrang!, the British music magazine: "But we grew up listening to rock 'n' roll and metal, so to us it was natural progressing."

His smoking needs captured the fury of both genres. "Lou would scream within pitches," Peter Koller said in an interview. "He would change the notes of his เข้-crossing."

The band defied expectations in other ways, too, Sick of It All emerged from a club world where meeting — or shuts-that-ops, could almost be confused with band-to-band conflict. But instead of ending the rags with the marathi stalkant of many hardcore bands, it served up messages of unity and mutual respect.

In "Good Luckin' Out," from the 1997 album "Bulls to Last," Mr. Koller enrolled the virtues of loyalty and support among friends. "You're not in that all alone...I just look around, and you'll see..." The answer's Light before your eyes: "I'm here for you, and I've for me."

John O'Malley, 73, Dies; Helped Exonerate Five Convicted of a Murder

By RICHARD SANDORH

John O'Malley, a federal investigator in Manhattan who used years-old ambassadors to connecise five people convicted of murdering a Beans livery-call driver, died on July 31 at his home in Pearl River, N.Y., in Rockland County. He was 73.

His wife, James O'Malley, said the cause was isothermic, which she attributed to his exposure to toxins at ground zero where he was part of the investigation into the hope. It irreverent attacks.

By 1995, when Mr. O'Malley joined the office of the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, he had already worked

with federal prosecutors as a Beans homicide detective, helping to protect the use of racketeering and other federal laws to correct members of murderous, drug-skating gangs who couldn't be taken down by state law.

"No one was more responsible for cleaning up the streets of New York, or at least the Beans — more than you can possibly imagine — than John O'Malley," Peter Orczilli, who worked with Mr. O'Malley as a fellow detective in the Bronx and as an agent of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said in an interview.

In May 2012, Mr. O'Malley, the real investigator in the violent crimes unit of the U.S. attorney's office, was handed a letter sent by Eric Glosson from King King prison, in fronting N.Y. Mr. Glosson was seeking help in overturning his 1997 conviction for the murder of Battle Drop, a Senegalese immigrant who drove a livery call, at the Soundview neighborhood of the Bronx, where Mr. O'Malley grew up.

Mr. Glosson and Cathy Watkins, a woman Mr. Glosson did not know, had been convicted of second-degree murder in one trial, three others had been found guilty of the

Drop murder and another killing in a separate trial.

But Mr. Glosson, who had maintained his innocence, suspected that Mr. Drop had been killed by someone from the violent fire Money Murder gang that operated in his neighborhood.

His description of the crime remained Mr. O'Malley of something he had been told during an investigation in 2003. Gilbert Vega, a cooperating witness who had been part of the gang, said that he and June Rodriguez, a fellow gang member, had robbed and shot a driver in late 1994 or early 1995 but never cut sure if they had killed him.

Mr. Rodriguez overwhelmed the account, telling Mr. O'Malley and a prosecutor that he had assumed on one would ever find out about the robbery because only he and Mr. Vega knew about it. Mr. O'Malley wrote in his 2013 affidavit arguing for a new trial for Mr. Glosson and Mr. Watkins.

"John had a deep sense of what's right and what's wrong," Judge Margaret Gurnett of the U.S. District Court and a former chief of the U.S. attorney's related crimes unit, said in an interview. "I am innocent person in in prison, that undermine what we do."

Jonathan Green, the author of "Jim Money Murder: A Story of Crack, Blood and Betrayal" (2010), said that Mr. O'Malley had a talent for flipping felons.

"He was raised in the Bronx, and he was able to get those guys to talk to him, which was very difficult," Mr. Green said in an interview. "But he was from Soundview, where Jim Money Murder was from, they treated him."

In late 2012, the Bronx district attorney's office vacated all five convictions. It was one of several commentators that Mr. O'Malley was involved in during his career. The five received a combined bill million from the city to settle civil rights suits claiming that they had been wrongfully convicted.

And from it O'Malley was born on Oct. 28, 1953, in the Bronx. His father, John B., was an insurance agent, and his mother, Marlene (Martinez) O'Malley, managed the home.

Three of his uncles and two of his cousins served in the Police Department, so his career paid seemed inevitable. When his uncle Jack visited the O'Malley home, John would admire his detective shield and bullets.

"When I look back at my yearbeads, it's Good luck on the N.Y.P.D. Good luck on the F.R.I.," he told Peter Mosher for "Back from the Bronx inside the N.Y.P.D. and New York City's En-

John O'Malley in 2014. "No one was more responsible for cleaning up the streets of New York, or at least the Beans — more than you can possibly imagine — than John O'Malley," a fellow detective said. Below, Eric Glosson was released from prison in 2012.

tracethany 2000s Crime Drop" (2013). "When I turned old enough, it seemed like I was taking a test at least once a month for some kind of police department."

He joined the Police Department in the Bronx in 1976, but was among more than 3,000 officers had off the next year, as the city's finances started. After two years of driving a cab — during that time he met his father wife — he was robbed in 1977. He was promoted to detective 10 years later.

One of his cases involved a gang called the Cowboys: white mobsters who disguised themselves as police officers and "screwed" Black drug dealers, holding them for canons. In 1991 — after seven gang members had been convicted on federal racketeering and

murder charges — Mr. O'Malley said The Daily News that whenever canons had not been demanded, the victims had simply been handed over to the gang's rattle cars to be killed.

The case was the first major violent crime investigated entirely by the New York Police Department that was brought to the Southern District for prosecution. "It kicked off a whole series of cases that we made on that med-

el," said Elizabeth Glanes, a former chief of the office's argument crime unit. "John was the landgurs of the whole enterprise, between homicide detectives throughout the city, cooperators, prosecutors, district attorneys' offices and federal agents."

Although Mr. O'Malley flipped a few of the Cowboys, his attorneys failed to persuade one in particular to cooperate in exchange for a reduced sentence, the man didn't want to be labeled a match.

But after his release, he asked to meet Mr. O'Malley. "The guy was very grateful that John had tried to get him out," Mr. Glanes said, "and stayed in touch throughout the years."

Two weeks before Mr. O'Malley's death, his wife said, he re-

ceived a test from the man. "I want to tell you how important you've been to me"

One or two of the men that Mr. O'Malley had flipped would call him every year to walk him a happy Father's Day, Mr. O'Malley said, adding that her husband retired from the U.S. attorney's office in 2015 to be a "full-time grandpa."

In addition to his wife, Mr. O'Malley is survived by two sons, Daniel, a detective with the Greenburgh Police Department in Westchester County, and John, a 75-sports producer, five grand-clekkers, and two sisters, Susan Sorensen and Kathleen Kelleher.

Soon after Mr. Glosson was fined, he met with Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Gurnett to thank them.

"I had tested where he's thanking me for doing the job. I was supposed to do, because it was something that shouldn't have happened — and it did happen," Mr. O'Malley said on "Doing Justice," a podcast hosted by Prost Bharati, the former U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York who wrote a book in 2015 of the same name: "And I just felt bad for him."

At the report after Mr. O'Malley's funeral, Mr. Glosson recounted the story of his exoneration — and Mr. O'Malley's role in it.

"We got a standing ovation," Mr. O'Malley said in a text. "It was for him, it was enough to stand up and tell his story, and for my husband, who was the one who got him out of jail."

THIS WEEK FROM THE ARTSTOCK

FRAMEWORK

Chris Maggio spent a week last summer at the International Stunt School in Seattle, photographing aspiring stuntmen and stuntwomen as they learned about falling from great heights, taking punches, intricate light choreography and other tricks of the trade — all safely. Above, a student has a protective gel applied before being set on fire. PAGES 6-9

STREAMING

A Satire on the City of Angels

By JIMON T. BAILEY

“Hollywood Shuffle,” Robert Townsend’s exuberant take on life as a struggling Black actor with big dreams in the 1990s, is on Amazon Prime Video. Also, the charming, family-friendly “The Sheep Detectives,” the upbeat science-fiction fantasy “Project Hail Mary” and more.

‘Hollywood Shuffle’ (1987)

Robert Townsend spent much of the early 1990s struggling in Hollywood, occasionally landing a decent supporting out-but mostly audiencing for a series of elaborating stereotypes. She dramatized her frustration into art, causing the low budget for this “exuberant satire,” which he not only reacts in but co-writes, produces and directs. He plays an actor much like himself, spending his days in a humiliating (not-food) job and smoking off to the occasional humiliating audition, while indulging in daydreams of the kind of roles he’d like to play. It’s less a sturdy narrative than a series of comic-blackest sketches, but Townsend’s durations and good-spirit carry it through.

‘The Sheep Detectives’ (2020)

As our critic, Alison Wilkinson has noted, a certain kind of movie has all but gone extinct. PG-rated movies that were “intended for the whole family to watch.” This gentle, charming mystery comedy is a fine demonstration of what we’ve lost. The director Kyle Baldo and the screenwriter Craig Martin (adapting the 2005 novel “Three Bugs Full”

by Lonnie Swanny) tell the story of George (Hugh Judimani), a kind shepherd who unexpectedly turns up dead. But every night of bedtime, he read murder mysteries to his flock (voted by a bedstrees supporting son) led by John Louis-Deschie and Bryan Comstock, who then help the seemingly dissent local constable (Nicholas Braun) solve his murder. As a premise, it sounds inane — “Babe” meets “Knees Out” — and perhaps it is. But the entire enterprise in undertakers with inch good humor and quiet grace that it somehow plays. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll believe that sheep-can-seow crimes.

‘Project Hail Mary’ (2020)

When Drew Goddard lost adapted a novel by Andy West, the resultant film, “The Mariner” (also streaming on Prime Video), was an unusual crowd-planner, with much of the drama rooted in the domestic/human need for company and companionship. This film, based on West’s 2021 novel of the same name, retains some of that quality, but its base and style are dalfied considerably by the directors Phil Lord and Christopher

Miller, whose beauty irreverence made “21 Jump Street” and “The Lego Movie” turn unlikely successes. Ryan Gosling starts as a middle-school teacher who is brought in to consult on an international effort to serve the sun from losing its energy; over his loud objections, he becomes a last-minute address to a crew of informants, and the picture is off and running. Gosling’s charisma and self-aware wit have rarely been put to better use, while Sandra Miller proves an unlikely but effective comic foil.

‘The Master’ (2012)

For his fourth (and, sadly, final) collaboration with Philip Seymour Hoffman, the writer and director Paul Thomas Anderson penned what our critic A.D. Scott called an “imposing, confounding and altogether amazing” drama, inspired by the early days of Sutenshogy. Hoffman plays Lancaster Dodd, leader of the Garret. Joaquin Phoenix is Freddie Quell, a damaged World War II veteran who falls under Death’s spell. It is essentially a two-hander, dramatizing the sometimes tempestuous, often affectionate, but clearly independent dynamic between those two men, whom Hoffman and Phoenix bring to life with beauty and force. (For more closely, critically acclaimed drama, stream “Ever’s Royals.”)

‘Singerlot’ (2015)

Shot with smartphones and a cast of mostly first-time actors, what our critic, Manelyn Duggs called a “fist,” ostensibly falsely comedy about love and other manufacturers’ from the director Sean Baker (“Satan”) as a vibrant and heartfelt story of life on the fringe. The plot concerns two transgender sex workers (Alison Killi-Bodriguez and Allyn Taylor) and their various for hours and midwives over a 24-hour period in Los Angeles. Played differently, the material could have been misunderstood, but it isn’t. Make it, above all, a humanist, and he loves his characters no matter what kind of trouble they’re causing.

THE QUEUE

I’m the senior producer for Culture & Lifestyle video. I help transdoms the section for our social audience. When I’m not editing visual stories or scrolling, I definitely reach for stuff I can escape into — cozy games, comfort albums and movies, and anything that involves the food world. GABBY RYUGARELLI

CATS: THE JELLICLE BALL THEATER

“Cats: The Jellicle Ball,” which just closed, did everything it promised to do (except explain the story of “Cats”). Being in such an energized, vocal audience was almost as much of a year as the musical itself — a clever, thoughtfully choreographed and just plain fun show. Don’t get my started on the incredible costumes.

Junior LaBesta, left, and Bryson Battle in the musical “Cats: The Jellicle Ball.”

AMBIGUOUS DESIRE

Arla Pachot’s latest album is uncomplicated. Think lightly textured melodies with a sprinkling of garage and ranch, and these secret admissions about natural connections — a very rare and dark thoughts. It reminds me of walking home with a friend from a particularly meany night out and just spilling everything out to each other.

ALL CONSUMING: WHY WE EAT THE WAY WE EAT NOW BOOKS

How did bubble (to become a global drink)? Here’s coalescing always been this figure-specific: “How climate parties always so labor-intensive!” In this book, Ruby Tundok, or GERO Ruby as we call her in my house, looks at what we’re eating, how we’re cooking it, and why more and more of up are making similar choices in the kitchen.

TINT BOOKSHOP CAMES

If you have ever fantasized about a minimalist, nomadic life where you operate a small bookstore on wheels, this is your chance. This video game lets you design and stock your dream book truck and drive it around a picturesque coastal town, recommending books to people. There is nothing music, have characters and an overall A+ story vibe.

MADDIE’S SECRET

I once worked in a test kitchen for recipe videos. It was absolutely awful. “Maddie’s Secret,” a comedy about a dishwasher turned TikTok food star, had me in kitchen. Don’t watch for a computer, in trips of how our unavailable social appetites will be our downfall. Watch it to sink into the absolutely progesterone world of food influencer culture.

Headliner

SPY TEN

Greta Lee Is Channeling Martha Stewart

WILLIAM W. WAGNER, PHOTO: KIDSNIGHTON BROADWAY.COM

Growing up, Greta Lee ("Past Lives," "The Morning Show") imagined singing like the Korean coloratura soprano Sumi Jo or the Tony-winning performer Heather Headley. For her role in Kent Jones's new movie "Late Fame," about downtown artists intent on resurrecting a forgotten New York poet, Lee took the plunge, performing "Surabaya Johnny" for a bar scene full of actors, mostly men. "I really was taking my clothes off and just walking into the room and coming up with choreography, I guess you'd call it," she said. In a video call from California, Lee — whose sci-fi thriller "The Last House," about a family trying to leave their home, opened Friday — elaborated on pie crusts, growing out her hair and urban biking. These are edited excerpts. KATHRYN SHATTUCK

1 Flowers

My mother has always loved flowers. I didn't realize until much later that was a unique feature of my upbringing — how much we were surrounded by flowers, drawing and painting flowers, thinking about them, arranging them. My own relationship with flowers extends to going for them and planting them with the hopes that I can have my own cutting beds of flowers that I can incorporate into my daily life.

2 Sculptural Silver Jewelry

I'm very minimal when it comes to jewelry. There is a Korean jewelry in Seoul, and her line is called Broom of Shallow. I visited her mother and found that she is hand-making all of her pieces. And they're just one ordinary.

3 Dempsey Fles Market in Seoul

That market was unlike any place I've ever visited. The elderly people were dressed with traditional Korean elements — hundreds, they're called — mixed in with a punk rock that I've never seen before. My jaw hit the ground.

4 Swimming in the Ocean

Because of the movie "The Last House," I got to the outright. And I saw home a profoundly different relationship with the water. I underwent some pretty extensive training in order to follow certain sequences, like forscha holding and manipulating your body so you can deal with the presence and just being able to comfortably swim in water for extended periods of time. I now get to see it for my vacations.

5 Martha Stewart

I've become newly acquainted with Martha, the recently condensed her "Entertaining" book, several decades after it was in at published. And I'm really getting to appreciate what it is. Why this was so impactful then and why it is so remarkable and remains even now. I mean, here she is, reading her garden in such a physical and athletic way to her short shorts. That's how I do it.

I mean, here she is, tending her garden in such a physical and athletic way in her short shorts. That's how I do it.

6 Music League

This app is sort of like fantasy football for music. It's a shared marriage, if you will, of songs submitted by a group of people to a prompt. All the songs are submitted anonymously, and there's a voting period. Then the results are revealed, and you can see who submitted which song.

7 Biking

Growing my family in Brooklyn, I began biking not just for pleasure, but for transporting my young children. So now wherever I go for work, I take, and that's how I get to know the city.

8 Long Hair

I haven't had long hair since I had children. Maybe there's a certain taboo about having long hair as a mature woman. But I found myself deciding that I want to know what having long hair from like at 43. My others are also having hair, and we are sharing the importance of haircuturing in our long hair together.

9 Pies

Being Korean-American, pies did not look for it in our household. It wasn't until college that my friend Emily Pieschaker of Oklahoma City introduced me to this idea that you can have a pie and for very casual about it. My other friend Alison Roman has an incredible sort of pie-crust recipe for character that is foolproof and that I can just do it on memory.

10 Being Alive

I came across "The Ordinary Miracle of Entering" by Alan Lightman in The Atlantic. He mentions the statistical likelihood of a person coming into existence by describing if you had a ruler [stretched] from here to Plato, and if every such in that imagined ruler represents the likelihood genetically of the sperm and the egg to come together to create an individual person, how incredible it is that you yourself exist. It ends with the likely (divergent) about how will you spend your sun with and precious life. That is something that I try to carry with me and impart to my own boys, too.

Dig Into Your Past: You May Uncover Musical History

Alex Da Ponte and his family keep alive the memory of Lorenzo Da Ponte, a geocer and a librettist for Mozart.

By ANDREA PRADA RIANCHI

In June, Alex Da Ponte drove to Sanitary, Pa., to visit the town where one of his ancestors had run a grocery store. That geocer, Lorenzo Da Ponte, also happened to be Mozart's most important librettist, a postage of the Austrian emperor and a requirement of Causarov, a priest, seducer and gambler - and the man who did the most to introduce Italian opera to the United States.

Alex stopped in front of Lorenzo's house - today's Broadway market - and posted a long tribute to Facebook to his forefather, who had moved from Vienna to the middle of Pennsylvania more than 100 years ago. "His life was chaotic," Alex wrote. "He had big ideas and was always sheeting his diet. Obviously that's gimmick."

A singer and songwriter, Alex, 24, has been releasing music for the last 14 years, making a name for himself in the Memphis radio pop and alternative rock scene.

He did shows how, for eight generations, a family has held on to the memory of one of the most fascinating characters in the history of opera, a universe who bridged two continents and still has the power to shape his descendant identity.

As a child, Alex didn't pay much attention when his relatives discussed Lorenzo, but now he is the preacher inheritor of the Da Ponte legacy. "At the time I didn't really know that I had Italian roots," he said in an interview in Memphis. "And then when I looked into it, I was like, 'Oh my God.'"

He started digging into his family's past, gathering bedrooms and reconstructing the family tree. He was born in 1917, in called Da Lorenzo.

A low-hundred miles from Alex, in Nashville, another Da Ponte is in a trade even closer to Lorenzo's. Ethnic Da Ponte, 27, didn't second cousin, is a songwriter for Warner Chappell Music. She writes about 200 songs a year. Women prelate some to admit and create, sometimes musicians come to her with ideas that she tries to put on paper. "I'm kind of a facilitator, help them say what they want to say," she said.

Gloria has a general idea of her ancestor's life, but she doesn't come close to her cousin's obsession.

Alex has a tattoo on his right arm reading "Conspicuous," Lorenzo's original surname. "That's so much cooler than even 'Da Ponte,'" he said.

ERSON DA LORENZO, a NEW YORK TIMES, is 1701 in the Jewish photo of a small town in the Republic of Venice. When he was 14, his family converted to Catholicism and he took the full name of the local bishop, Lorenzo Da Ponte. After taking help orders, he moved to Venice, then in full decadent ክ西の, where he became a gambler and a seducer, befriending the king of womanizers, Giacomo Causarov. In 1775, he was banished because of his scandalous lifestyle and the publication of seducent works.

Da Ponte wound up in Vienna, where he got to the good graces of Emperor Joseph II and became a popular librettist. He worked with Italian, Martin's Solar and, most importantly, Mozart, for whom he wrote "The Marriage of Figaro," "Don Giovanni" and "Cost For Time."

In the second volume of "Lorenzo Da Ponte o ti suo tempo," a biography in progress that will probably reach 1,000 pages, Lorenzo Della Chia wrote, "Mozart's reputation as an opera composer was made by the Poet of the heart of his considerable, their conductors, their friendship virtually nonexistent, and the concern almost all."

And yet, their collaboration changed opera for good, introducing three-dimensional characters, sophisticated plots and ambiguities that broke with a tradition of good versus evil.

His Austrian city didn't last long. After Joseph II died, in 1795, Da Ponte lost favor with his successor and was a perfect true Verbal. He moved to London, where he became the poet of the King's Theatre while setting up a series of enterprises that failed one after another.

Reprinted with date, Da Ponte fled to the United States, stopping first in Philadelphia and then in New York. "In 1805, there were very few Italians," Delta Chi and its a phone interview from Milan. "When he arrived, he set himself up as a geocer."

Life in New York (a town of 60,000 in 1969) proved uncontrollable, so Da Ponte moved to New Jersey and then to Sanitary, where he laughed at himself "every time my poet's hand was called upon to weigh out two ounces of tea, or measure half a yard of 'jag-tak,'" he wrote at his memoirs. (A jagkat was a man of tobacco.)

Things changed when he returned to New York and, at a broadcast bookstore, met Clement Moore, author of "The Night Before Christmas" and one of Columbia College's preacher. Moore introduced Da Ponte to Manhattan's high society, and in 1823 Da Ponte became the first professor of Italian at Columbia.

Da Ponte made it his mission to introduce Italian culture to the United States. How it was possible, he wondered in his memoirs, that there was no Italian bookstore in America, while "in almost every city one that's the when and the gropes of Sicily, the oil, the olives, and the idles of Florence," "the aintages of Bologna, and even the maccheroni of Naples."

Da Ponte's last endeavor was to bring Italian opera to New York. In 1826, he persuaded a Spanish troops to perform "Iron Giovanni" and received a standing evasion at the premises. He was 17, and after an trying debut after defeat on two sides of the Atlantic in two centuries, that must have left good.

His quest for next years trying to persuade the tenor Giacomo Montrose to bring his company to New York, but when he finally did, Da Ponte was one of, Still, in 1853, thanks to Da Ponte's efforts, the Italian Opera House opened at the corner of Church and Leonard Brown. In its place today stands the sculptor André Raport's "man from," but an observant passes by nightmares a sign at the intersection reading "Lorenzo Da Ponte Way" (A copy now resides in Alex's living town.)

In 1924, The New York Times wrote that when Da Ponte died in 1835, at 60, "a long transat insurance followed the body from the Cathedral to the Roman Catholic Cemetery." Most long tables end there, noting that Da Ponte's mission - like those of Mozart - were later lost forever.

The story of his American family, however, had just begun.

ONE OF THE TOWN, Lorenzo Luigi (around 1804-05) became a professor of Italian and replenished the family culture by marrying the name of a wealthy New Orleans jurist. He died only two years after his father. After that, it seems, his wife had farewell to New York, starting the Da Ponte's southern branch, which survives today in New Orleans, Memphis, Knoxville and Nashville.

Lorenzo Luigi's son Durant (around 1829-96) built a career in the upper echelons of New Orleans parandons, was wounded while fighting for the Confederate army, and got sick to-day on the dock on hangar. In early echelonia, Durant married "the most beautiful woman in the world" (so she was anointed in the press), and the couple became famous for the place organized in first 350-seat home theatre. A five-hundred Durant had likely learned as a child of Lorenzo's home. By then, Lorenzo's fame had already begun to fade: a 1860 biographical dictionary dedicated more space to Durant's entry than his grandfather's.

We find one of Durant's sons, Harry, in the late 19th century on a riverboat smuggling weapons to the revolutionary forces of Porfino Diaz in Mexico, while his son, Harry II (1883-1887) had an ordinary career in insurance. At this point, Durant's fortune had already been squandered.

As Lorenzo's descendants multiplied and scattered, at least one branch never began him. David Da Ponte-Cooper, the first Da Ponte I reached out to when researching the family, replied to my usual within 10 minutes, settling off his forefathers back to the literature.

When David was born, the New Orleans marines where his great-great-grandfather Durant used to stage plays was still standing. When his nephew Alex owned a few years ago, he found a bank there.

Above Alex's fireplace, there's a limited shovel from Duran's wedding. "We got him and passed him that from family bedrooms that survived the gambling," he said, referring to a passion that Lorenzo apparently passed on to some descendants. Two others, music and literature, have also made their way to the present day.

"Everyone in my family is musical," Alex said, pointing to a limited family tree that another Da Ponte had compiled before him. "And it all comes from that huge spread of the tree."

Alex's songwriter cousin Olivia in Nashville wasn't conscious of how similar her profession was to Lorenzo's. "Maybe there's some part of my desire and fan-justice with writing that to us is back to him," she said.

Loans King, a professor of collaborative history at the University of Leeds, in England, said in a phone interview that one's connection to family history is often a "vow-wry street." "How much that family history influences you?" King said. "Or is it the other way around. "I will choose the first of my family that make sense to me or my history that make sense to me. I'll come on that list of nationality in my family, and that tells me a story. I'll use that, so I'll have a tattoo because it inspires me."

Either way, Lorenzo would probably be

pleasantly surprised to see the tattoo on Alex's arm.

At the end of Da Ponte's life, a main concern was how much of Italy he had been able to inspire to America. In 1824, The Times noted that "the name of Da Ponte may be unknown to the public," and today that is probably true again.

"Most people don't know who he is," Alex said. "Whenever anybody intervenes on the music stuff, they always end up asking 'is there anybody else in music in your family?' and I'm like, 'well.'"

Alex's son, Da Lorenzo, 5, recently had a characteristic street family history. "I'm older," Yes, this is our chance to shine," Alex told him.

"He doesn't care. I hope he will one day."

Inside a Scene, So Many Symbols

Every staging of 'Death of a Salesman' has its own special presence and mood. Willy Loman's Chevrolet is a powerful character in the latest production. By LAURA COLLINS-JACKARD

When the creative team behind the latest Broadway production of Arthur Miller's "'Death of a Salesman'" began envisioning their show, they know Willy Loman's car would play an integral role. A real car is a tangible reminder of Willy's "life of a salesman," said Joe Mantelle, the show's director.

But Mantelle is not a car guy, and before

rehearsals started he was planning to use a sporty make and model. Woody, he consulted a car-locatic friend.

"He was like, 'That's not Willy Loman's car,'" Mantelle recalled. "He said, 'He would have a four-shot.'"

And so he does, a 1964 Chevrolet that Chloe Lambert, the show's iconic designer, said has a "characterful presence" on the

vast Winter Garden Theater stage. "He leans on the car in the play, and there it is, under his hands."

The show, which concludes its run on Sunday, was the 2025 Tony Award for best play overall, as well as: Recycle Mantelle's direction, Lambert's set, Jack Knowles's lighting, Mikhail Solanman's sound design and Laurie Metcalf's turn on Linda Loman,

Willy's vigilant sets.

One of the several's boldest strokes in Mantelle's unconventional decision-to-curl separate actors as the young versions of Willy's new case, who appear alongside actors playing the adult version.

For Lambert, that also unlocked the play, and much of the design. Introducing an element of the hallucinatory, it challenged her "to contain people into the space."

The effect, she added, is "memory made real in front of us."

Every Broadway production of "Death of a Salesman" has its distinguishing features. The much-bodied current revival is the one with Willy Loman's Chevrolet, which Nathan Lane drives onstage at the top of the show, headlights blazing. In this scene, Willy is suspended between the hopeful paid, when his sons, Bill and Happy, were boys, and the underwhelming present, when they are men — memory and reality consisting in his slip-sliding, suicidal mind. A narrow 1964 Chevrolet Chevrolet Mikhail is a deliberate anachronism in a play from 1964, felt it is a physical manifestation of the old real Chevy that Willy remembers, essential for his livelihood as a traveling salesman. An emblem of the American dream, the car also has a small lift built into the floor of the front passenger side, so that people can magnify appear and disappear inside it when the windows go dark and opaque. Made of corrugated metal, the garage door rises at the start of Act I to sit Willy drive in. Chloe Lambert, the scenic designer, said the image of "a big shutter that could open and close" came early in the design process, leading almost instinctually to the idea of the set as "an abstract garage." The set is also a poetic space, Lambert said, one "of memory and nostalgia and loss," it contains the family home and the landscape of Willy's mind. Suffered with the suffering forest of Willy's reminiscence, this is his younger son, Happy, as a body-conscious boy in mid 1965. "He has so many lives where he's talking about his weight and trying to lose weight," said Joe Mantelle, the director. Baccarat Willy tends stubbornly to his untruthful garden, and because earth is "where you dig a grass," Lambert said, it left right to cover some of the floor with light, a dog it around the tires and against the pillars and walls. This is a "Death of a Salesman" edged in darkness, surrounded with murk. In Willy's present, the light is cold, the haze outshard. Then the past gallops in, and with it a warning flood of color. Mantelle wanted "Happy to be a child," "to be somebody who was very comfortable in his body. At one point, he was wearing even less, but it was too distracting." Happy's physique, he added, has become his currency.

AN EDUCATION IN STUNT WORK

Photographs and Article by CHRIS MAGGIO

SEATTLE – There were stunts in films before there was talking. Long before Tom Cruise dangled from the wing of a plane, the silent film star Harold Lloyd originated an enduring Hollywood image, hanging from a clock face in “Safety Last!” (1923). Though the slapstick and sight gags of Lloyd and his peers Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin once shaped cinema, opportunities in the stunt industry, like many aspects of film production, are now changing because of technologies

like CGI, A.I. and robots.

“If we find the right way to show our perspective in a way that a machine could never do, I think we can still make stories and do stunts and still provide a human element,” said Greg Poljack, an instructor at the International Stunt School here with 18 years of film credits. Last summer, the school opened its doors to train a new class of performers on falls, fights, fire and the artistry of stunt work.

BE PRECISE

At a morning light-choreography session in a gym at the University of Washington, R&B slow jams filtered over speakers as students methodically worked through throwing pimches and kicks at one another in slow motion. Alongside morning physical performance, students were coached on how to verbalize getting hit. Instead of repeating the name staccato sound ("sail?") they were encouraged by teachers to "use the whole alphabet" ("sli!")

Training covers 15 different skills over a three-week course, with a focus on fighting and falling down because these actions are the basis for most stunt work, Jeff McKracken, the school's owner, explained.

Chuck Johnson, a stunt performer with over two decades of experience, led about 30 students through choreography rooted in martial arts, at times getting philosophical with his direction. There was talk of "swimming" through movements on performers pushed and pulled one another. Johnson used words like "clarity" and "beauty" to describe the impact of a precisely located hit on a performer's body.

"A film fight is the hardest thing to do on film," McKracken said. "You have to hit these exact marks. You have to hit them at the right speed. Everything. The reactions have to be right, exactly timed."

Alon Eckor, a student and a former Marine, said he was shocked how much control was necessary to hit marks. "It's frustrating with how precise you have to be," he said.

As the choreography picked up speed, students were filmed in their light sessions to give them an awareness of the camera's relationship to the stunt — and the importance of selling the performance. The best side of a

stunt always has to face the leap. The trajectory of a biggest punch, a few degrees off, can look fake to viewers. "If it doesn't play to the camera, there's no shot. You don't have a product," McKracken emphasized.

Under Washington State law, anyone

can enroll at the Stunt School regardless of skill, but students in its nascent days often showed toward a certain machismo. That's begun to change in recent years, according to McKracken, who estimated that a third of stuntless are now women. "It's evolved, espe-

cially during the time that I've been working, into more of an air."

This year's class is filled with gymnasts, martial artists, actors, former military members and at least one former employee of the Cheesecake Factory. Jarrett Green, a former corre-

tions officer, said that before signing up for Stunt School he'll been in several car accidents and had constitutionally caught fire a few times. He figured "it might be cool to actually do this stuff on purpose for once and get paid for it."

SAFETY FIRST

After hand-to-hand light instruction, practice weapons were introduced to the training. "The goal of all the fighting is how to be safe, but make it look good," McKracken explained. "And the weapons are just an extension of that. Once you have something in your hand, you know you're swinging, something of a higher velocity, you have a greater chance of injuring people."

From the basics of light choreography, the school takes the lessons about safety and precision and applies them to other areas of the curriculum. Safety protocols have evolved considerably in industry education, particularly since the deaths of two stunt performers in 2021. In the area of "The Walking Dead" and "Deadpool 2" stunt performers were fatally injured while performing, respectively, a high fall and a motorcycle stunt. Improved stress and padding to support falls, as well as CGI to replace artificial bullet hits and other impacts, now supplement the physical action. "You can't remove risk. You can't eliminate risk. It's not possible for what we do, but you can reduce it, and that's our goal," McKracken said.

The instructors, many of whom are abuses of the program, can all perform utility work (a lack of all trades role in the industry), but many also have specialties that can make their retainers read like the classes of an action script strain driving, lights, fire burns, high falls. They say on average it takes

about five years after graduation to get established, a period when newcomers can expect to work their way up from assisting a stunt person and carrying gear to hit parts. After years of major jobs, Daniel Ford Beavis, an instructor and alumine (class of 1997), said he and other seasoned performers look to teach. "Getting old happens, so we start looking forward to seeing the younger people come up to do the big high-section scenes and take the hard hits." CONTINUED ON FULL-PICTURE PAGE

MAKE IT A PERFORMANCE

FROM PRECEDING PAGE

It's hard to act as if you're on fire, even if you're actually on fire. Poljack, reaching a class on fire burns, emphasized to students that they can't just gyrate at the legs like a plastic hula dancer on a car flackboard.

"Step 1: Come out unharmed," Poljack said. "But Step 2 is new to paint something with the flames, do something beautiful with the fire, and be able to move it in a way that the lens captures it." Should the audience be horrified? Is the moment beautiful? Tragic? There needs to be motivation behind the performance reactions to being doused in flames.

Every fire burn began with deadpan direction. "That's on fire." From there, dressed in a kind of David Foster Wallace cosplay (denim, large flannels, bandannas ever their hair), students' backs were ignited.

Beavis, the instructor and alumnus, said that being aflame was actually the easier part of the stunt. "It's your safety team keeping you safe that has the real job," he said. Beavis invoked a mantra pinned down from the school's founder, David Rosenberg. "I could light my mother on fire if I have the right stunt team."

Across town, outside a large gymnastics facility, students work their

way up to high falls — there from several stories up. Beginning with a drop of just a few feet, they jump while referencing a Burber doll that instructors need to illustrate proper form. Gradually, the height of their falls increases as a hydraulic lift cranks higher.

Ariel Lee, a gymnast turned instructor, demonstrated a handstand into a free fall from several stories up. Lifting out a bloodsuckling scream as she dropped, it was difficult to tell if her reaction was real or merely a performance.

TEMPER EXPECTATIONS OF FAME

Eventually, the same skills of motion and coordination are applied to stunt driving. "Vehicle masts are the most dangerous stunts to do so film. That's where a lot of accidents happen," McKracken said. "Because the velocities are higher, because the masses are larger, everything gets exponentially more dangerous."

Morgan Grody, an instructor with stunt performing and directing credits, had been workshopping baronets and skids with students for most of a day at Evergreen Speedway, north of Seattle. He said he was still trying to piece together full-time income as a performer, looking for day jobs around town.

"I've been applying to be a regular driving instructor at all these places, getting no interview, no call back, nothing," he laughed as he watched stunt cars being brought in from the track. "You think, I can't reach one 10-year-old

in the car with them how to [exploiter] press a gun and brake and make a right turn or left turn and parallel pack? Please."

By design, there are only rare glimpses of on-camera glory for stunt performers, who are trained to be anonymous. McKracken pointed to one of his favorite "stunt falls" ever filmed, from the movie "Fight Club." Edward Norton's character falls down a massive set of stairs, and, near the end of the shot, the stunt performer's face is clearly visible.

"In the industry, a lot of people call it back-of-the-head-lamers," House Alexander, an instructor, said. But stunt performers will soon get a lot of recognition. After years of petitioning from stunt pros and the noted stunt enthusiast Tom Crowe, the first Oscar for stunt design will be awarded in 2020. There's also the validation that comes without a trophy.

"You walk in like a relief pitcher," Pollack said. "And when you deliver, that's the feeling for me, more than the rush of doing the stunt. It's the accomplishment of, yeah, I did this really cool and hard thing, and then I go home and let the dog out and go back to normal life."

A Beastie Boy Returns to the Mic

Mike D is releasing 'Thank You,' an introspective solo album he made with help from his two sons, 14 years after the death of Adam Yauch.

'I think it's my process of being able to be OK with the unknown a hit.'

By BEN SHARID

The three-decade run of the Beastie Boys came to an abrogé halt in 2012, when Adam Yauch, a member of the traditional pop trio known as Mic's, died of cause at age 67.

In the aftermath, Michael Diamond, a.k.a. Mike D, one of two surviving Beasties, set out to make music on an even more important again, he quipped up recording software on his computer and used to create 'again and again, he couldn't go through with it.'

'The amount of growing and sadness that I would love,' Diamond recalled in an interview in May, 'the easiest way to not hurt that was to shut the computer download walk away from it. It was too much for me to process to stop focused and creative.'

After flipping into production for others, and with help from losing, Diamond, 90, has returned to music making. On Aug. 25, he will release a solo album, 'Thank You,' the first new music by a member of the Beastie Boys since Yauch's death 14 years ago.

'Thank You' was made with the close involvement of Diamond's sons, Davis and Skyler. Brooklyn-born Californiaans, now in their early 20s, who have their own group, Very Nice Person, and found their production skills on the vintage audio equipment they pilfered from their dark house studio in Malibu, Calif.

From its first notes, 'Thank You,' credited to Mike D 93, is a scoring, in 6th place of analog synthesizer noise and sounded industrial beats, boating, the influence of the and the first-years New York punk band fainish. At recent club gigs announcing the project, Diamond and his five-member band, including Davis and Skyler, topped up and down in Mike D 93's branded computer, like a multigenerational punk-sorbitics class.

'We're a level of introspection, much heard on Beastie Boys albums, 'Thank You' also paints a therapeutic portrait of Diamond adjusting to life as a recognizable copper smelters, wrestling with the responsible tone of parenthood and the sense of being 'far away and out of touch,' while also searching for a way to stay in the game. 'I need a Plan B,' swirled M.C.: Diamond helps us use of the allusion most humorous to add, 'What We Can.'

'It's manually immature, but lyrically more mature,' Diamond, growing and still cali-dun, summed up in the five-wanted lounge of a Lower East Side band, a few hours after he finished spinning records for an online radio show in Brooklyn.

Diamond grew up on the 'Up and the Out' style of Manhattan, the son of art-world insiders, and from a young age left, destined for a creative life. A literature experience happened at age 17 on a trip to the Brooklyn Academy of Music to see Lurton Anderson's landmark performance-art piece 'United States.'

'She had a tape-bond on her violin and tape on her look, and there's a video-projectsion,' Diamond recalled, his eyes redneckly with the memory. 'It was really the first multimedia thing I saw. I was completely emblazoned. I was like, 'That's what I'm gonna do.'

By that time, the Beastie Boys were merging from their punk-rock wagon into pop and settling into a three-piece lineup of Yauch, Diamond and Adam Horwitz, a.k.a. Ad-Back. The story of their mix is like a raunchy 100th New York version of a harp tale.

Coming under the wings of Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons at Del Jam Recordings, they toured with Madonna and their 1940 debut, 'Licensed to Ill,' tumped Ben Jovi from the top of the Billboard 200 chart to become the first rap album to reach No. 1. In testosterone-drenched airborne like

From top: Michael Diamond, a.k.a. Mike D of the Beastie Boys; his sons, Skyler, left, and Steve Diamond, on the Beastie Boys; from left, Adam Horwitz, Adam Yauch and Diamond notified their punk-rock origins with rap and a dose of action.

'One Gettin' Fight for Your Right ('A Party!') and 'Girls,' they fully embraced their presence as obnoxious, smelling party boys — though they came to loathe it. Successive reinventions as albums like 'That's Boutique' (1949), 'Check Your Good' (1942) and 'Ill Communication' (1996) made them prime and great series of the '80s, their three-part comic rhymes heavily layered with references drawn from pop culture's rhythm. Diamond's thin voice put him in a middle zone between Gandhi bounce gruff and Horwitz's sharp metal wire.

'These guys were unroyal creators,' said Dan Chai son, an associate professor at the Clow Davis Institute of Recorded Music at New York University. 'By the '80s their work, musically and aesthetically, anticipated how pop culture would shift over the next 10 years.' hip-hop merging with punk and alternative, street culture with stutter culture, satire with social good.'

Yauch became the group's conscience, co-founding the 'Damas Broadway Concerts and, as the 90's track 'thus they,' among for the band's part minogrey. 'To all the mothers and the sisters and the wives and friends, I want to offer my love and respect to the real.'

Yauch's death brought an end to the musical partnership that Diamond and Horwitz had been part of since they were teenagers.

'There was a very recognizable thing that happened between our three voices,' Diamond said. 'It was a magical thing, a rare gift that the there of us all got to share together. But that doesn't exist anymore. So it took a minute to just get comfortable with it.'

Diamond largely stopped back from music to care for his sons, who were then producers. He and Horwitz also tended the Beasties legacy through a book and a documentary. But both men's musical producers

try plunged. In an interview, Horwitz said that for years he has maintained a heart-daily routine of making music on his laptop, but hasn't released any of it.

When asked why not, Horwitz mumbled, 'Good question.'

Diamond produced for others, working on the most recent album by the high-concept Swedish punk band the Hives ('The Hives Forever Forever the Hives,' released last year). But he had a revelation: 'I shouldn't be projecting any ideas onto any other artist. I should be seeing that for myself.'

So Diamond began sitting in an nominee with his sons, who mingle with some of the top producers in Los Angeles. In conversation, Davis, 23, and Skyler, 22, finish each other's nominees with earlier voice signals and call their father Mikey. (They are also only loosely familiar with the Beastie Boys songbook, having to loose up on tracks for their recent club tour.)

Skyler: 'Mikey's had a funny trajectory of his ethos. Our more recent memory is his retinal lifestyle.'

Davis: 'He was, like, fulfilled in other ways. And then it got to a certain point where he started getting on the mic more and just messing around in jams and stuff. And then one day he went to France and same-back and win like, 'This is happening now.'

The Diamond began creating songs with a cast of musicians and producers, including Carter Lang, who has worked with SZA and other McNey and Tyran Donaldson, another SZA collaborative. They held long, anything goes noxious, unencumbered by deadlines or pressure to generate hits — an artist-led process that Lang blamed to his experience with Bieber's recent 'Swag' airborne.

'They've been able to create this flowing feeling,' Lang said. 'This environment where when I enter it, the industry grind just lads away and I sort it after to create out of pure discovery and love and curiosity.'

The studio was packed with a management of ancient gear that the musicians tinkered with like hot toys, songs like 'That's Right' third- with many feedback and prickly-illustrated rhythms. Horwitz laes Skyler and Davis a 100th-vintage samples that came with floppy disks still holding Beastie Boys beats. 'It's a time machine,' Donaldson recalled with a chuckle. 'They're a young child a sound, and you'd randomly hear a drum break that was on a Beastie Boys song.'

The result is a blending of the murkly>tuxed sound of Very Nice Person with a more aggressive rhythmic punch that decries from the first punk of Diamond's youth.

I suggested to Diamond that the process with his two sons sounded not dissimilar to how the Beastie Boys would look up at a studio playground for months before they emerged with a breakthrough sound.

'It gets whether than that,' Diamond said. 'I grew up the youngest of three brothers. Icti be band, I was the middle of three brothers, in a scene. And then I and up having two boys. There you go.'

Diamond's sons, he said, could critique their own music, rather that none of the other producers — all decades younger than Diamond — could summon.

'Out of anybody I worked with, they were more musely-coupled after with pushing one young-wound, Diamond said.' 'He're big like was, 'That was good, but you can top it.'

'So they didn't totally annihilate me,' he added an slad-joke deadpan.

'I don't know that Mike would have done this on his own,' Horwitz said. 'We spent the bulk of our lifetime being in a band, a throwstone that did everything together. And doing something on your own little water.' He added: 'I think it's great that Mike has recorded a record, especially with his kids. I think it is probably really helpful and healing it's hard.'

Diamond sounds invigorated on 'Thank You,' but also deeply reflective, with lyrics that never could find the structure of parenthood and a broken relationship — Diamond is separated from Davis and Skyler's mother, the filmmaker Tanna Davis — as well as his own search for purpose. 'We all come from drama,' the film set on the web drama,' he caps on 'Make It Stop.' On 'I Don't Don' he says, 'It's in please everyone. I it's telling me.'

Elsewhere, music serves as a metaphor for how to refresh one's life. 'Soviet is up-conscious,' Swatch up directions,' he caps on 'Swatch Up,' throats by a very 'We only accustomed drum to' train rhythm track.

'I think this record very much reflects this time to tell their people to tell,' 'it my kids being their own entities in the world and collaborating with me.'

'It's really about being honest,' he added. 'This things that I've supplied with us a life having been done to work up some of our when I was in the band.' He added, 'I think it's my process of being able to be OK with the unknown a hit.' Over about two hours of conversation, he mentioned therapy five times.

His sons said they were worried they (as they) comfortable. Horwitz would yield a 'funny rap who,' with lyrics about being 'an older white rapper talking about drinking wine,' and 'the rap it is' instead. Diamond came to nominee with nonbooks filled with deep psychological reflections he had collected on silent retreats.

'It's like the whole record is therapy rap,' David said. 'It's really deep therapy concepts. We were just like, 'That's a sick idea.'

Skyler added: 'That's just where Mikey's at.'

She Lets Teen Girls Speak for Themselves

Megan Park, creator of the new series 'Sterling Point,' trusts her young performers.

By ALEXIS SOLDIKE

Megan Park remembers how it felt to say lines she didn't believe in, to wear clothes that left weird, to spend hours in a chair each morning as makeup or into layered on boardroom. Bland and slight, Park, 30, played adolescents well into her late 20s, which became increasingly unfulfilling.

"The more I think about it, the hair and makeup to date killed in the '80s," she said. "As an actor, I was like, I can't sit here any longer."

Gradually, she shifted toward writing and directing. Her first film, 'The Fallout,' about the aftermath of a school shooting, debuted in 2012. Her second, 'My Old Ass,' about a teenage girl who meets her older self by way of patriarchy, was released in 2014. Amazon MGM Studios, which bought that film, asked Park to consider creating a young adult series. That series, 'Sterling Point,' premiered on Wednesday on Prime Video.

Set in the Moshoku Lakes region of southwest Ontario, where 'My Old Ass' was filmed, it contested a teenage girl (Ellis Rubin) and her twin brother (Kava Ruffalo), who discover that they have inherited an infant there belonging to a grandfather they never knew. They also discover a sister (Jasmine Hershick).

Park, now a mother of two, insists that teenage girls aren't her only source of inspiration. (Her next film, she promises, is all about adults.) But her movies and this new series allow her to give young performers a wiser she didn't have. "I remember being that young on set and being in their situation," said Park, who also directed four of the first sources eagle episodes. "It's fun to go back and be like, flow can I do it differently."

You recent video call from her home outside Toronto Park discussed how she left acting, why she trusts young performers and what makes Gen Z unique. These are edited excerpts from the conversation.

What made you hurt to acting?

When I wasn't, they were doing a local production of 'The Sound of Music.' My best friend was sublimating, and I was like, I wasn't audition, too. I got the part and I was hooked. Acting took off to me in a great way. It took me to L.A., and I got me my green card, and I met all those incredible people. But I felt—it's going to sound terrible—a little bored. I was watching people around me to do do so and feel so connected to it in this way that I knew I didn't really fully feel. Most of the things I acted on, it wasn't a super creative atmosphere.

You were stuck playing teenagers well into your 20s.

That was the job. You look at shows like 'The U.C.' and 'One Tree Kid,' everybody's like 30, playing a teenager. But it did start to feel natural at a certain point. And I was always like. This is not really how young people talk or live.

How did you break out?

I was in this movie 'What If.' It was one of the first sets 10 been on that left creatively but and two, the shams and I played others. She was already writing and directing things. She hung the moon to me. I was

pickling her as also for a story. She was like, You could write it. I was like, Wait, Zoo finish. I'm smart enough to write! So I opened my computer and just started writing. I was like, Oh my God, Oh, This is literally so fun. This doesn't feel like work. This is addictive. It was so satisfying to me, instantaneously.

That first thing you wrote was about a girl trapped in a TV show, right?

Yeah, it was about a girl who was as a 'Shamam Mummel' singer show, so her late 20s playing a 12-year-old, living a total double life both on camera and behind the scenes—a dark 30-minute comedy.

You don't have to stretch to use the allegory. No, totally. Everything. I write, there's always a piece of me in it.

That doesn't get made, but your next script, 'The Fallout,' does. So far all of your green-lighted projects have focused on teenage girls, in that accidental or on purpose?

A little bit accidental. 'The Fallout' came out of being so how that about high school shootings in America and becoming a person as I was living in the States. I was that, he wanted that kids had to go to school every day with this four hanging over their heads.

When I was writing 'My Old Ass,' I wrote it thinking about it through the emotional lens of the older character. But people were like, Wow, you are able to take a young female voice and make it feel authentic, how would you feel about doing that in the TV space?

I just want teenage girls to be given the statement and the respect and the authenticity they so deserve. Let them to have that space and that freedom to be themselves—lating them pick out their clothes, letting them have a real-up in their hair and makeup. Young women, especially this generation, are so intelligent, so poised. They are the world in such an interesting way. It would be so sad to not give them the content

they deserve and not just the light, thấy stuff that drives me crazy.

What was the inspiration for 'Sterling Point'?

I'd always wanted to do something about the nature we use and our current school because it's been so prevalent in my family's life. There's so much adoption on each side. And Moshoku Lakes, I gave up going there every summer. I also went to a summer camp on an island there as a teenager. It's so dreamy.

You emerged as a writer and director around the time that you became a parent. How does that influence you?

I always say to my daughter, 'You're the reason I found what I love,' because I was pregnant with her when I started writing 'The Fallout,' and the day I went to to have her was the day it got greenlighted. 'My Old Ass' was watching her splash in a paddle and being like, Oh my god, time! In addition, my whole world to my kids, so naturally those things are going to blend together. At least they do be me.

How do you make sure that you portray teenagers authentically? How do you and the other departments make sure this feels realistic?

Check your ego at the door. Know what you know, and know what you don't know. One of my most important jobs is finding incredible, talented young people and pushing the characters over to them. You have the resource of all these people who are actually young and know what's cool. Let them tell you.

What do you love about Gen Z?

They're in kind. My experience as a millennial, there was a lot of bullying and criticism. There young people—I call them kids; they're not really kids—I witness them how to kind to each other, so respected. I don't know if I've just gotten lucky, but with the young people I've worked with, they're really thoughtful. I would resume

them the heartfelt generation. They lead with their hearts.

I love that word, 'Smarthin'. It's the lament word to say in the industry. But I want to make heartfelt stuff, and if people think that's dumb, whatever. I like characters that even if they're thereof, even if you don't make trust them, they are inherently good and kind. That generation really represents that.

IN VENICE,

ARTISTIC

PLACES

WORTH PERUSING

By JASON FERRAGO

Venice has struck visitors for centuries as otherworlds, a city of memory floating in a lagoon — but also decadent, feverish, and at constant risk of submersion. “Half fairy tale, half tourist map,” Thomas Mann called this place in “Death in Venice,” and his double diagnosis has only grown more acute in the Instagram-and-nasyl et age. Every time I wash up here,

I go through the same cycle: first the thrill of seeing the light shimmering on the water, then exasperation from the over-tourism (as if I'm not part of the problem . . . ), and, finally, once I settle into its rhythms and rediscover its paintings and palazzi, a renewed awe. Take it slowly, look past the selfie sticks, and Venice is still sublime.

1 A Half-Lost Painting, More Sacred for Its Scars

Titan, Art History from the 1800 by The New York Times

Titan, Trafferty and Veronese form the holy treaty of the Venetian Renaissance, but the most heart-stepping painting in the city was done by a Sicilian. In a quiet corner of the Museo Civico, you'll find a tender depiction — not too large, suitable for private devotion — of the dead Christ combined by three angels, chanted over an open tomb. Antonello da Messina, who painted this Perù around 1870, was one of the first Italian artists to embrace the exciting new Flemish technology of all paint, whose slow drying hours allowed him to render the skin tones of Christ's wonderful self with then-unprecedented naturalism. Christ's knees seem to

come out of the picture into our world. The fit of Messina glitters in the back, as if through an open window. But one or more “vetonese” blew it big time, and Antonello's painting has been severely damaged. The faces of Jesus and the three angels are now almost entirely gone. The seragler blasted out nigs also upon the Sicilian landscape. The miracle of Antonello's Perù, though, is how much authority it retains despite the damage — or maybe even gained from the spirit. The mystery of the Stithuan, the three days when Christ was both alive and dead, finds us who in this detailed painting lost but still here, and now, at the ma-

nism, resurrected.

This masterpiece of Renaissance painting can be found within a masterpiece of modern display. In the 1930s, the great Venetian archiver Carlo Scarpa was tasked to redesign the Cuvier's picture gallery, reverboking Piazza San Marco. He conceived of a simple sand, shade of iron and wood by Venetian artisans (who are still working?), bringing the paintings off the wall and back into our face. Antonello's vision of the tomb still hangs on one of these self-supporting frames, suspended between this world and the next.

Museo Cuvier, San Marco, 52.

2 A Palace Dense With Gods, on the Walls and in the Air

At the height of its power in the early 1800s, the merchants and magistrates of the Venetian Republic built palaces and monuments that would trout Rome's. One family, in particular, bought in bulk.

Palazzo Grimani, a grand pile of colored marble, was a showcase for a noble family with a stunts for collecting antiquities, which it displayed in a poignant built tribune, or receiving room. The sculptors got scattered in subsequent centuries, but in 1931, Palazzo Grimani respected the antiquities chamber with over 200 Greek and Roman statues. This was a simple of Romanism, and it still suggests centuries on.

Since the gloomy Gothic decadence of Venice makes way to light filled splendor, modeled after the Roman Pantheon. With so many sculptures it can feel like a staring contest. Apollo and Antinous face down Ashenche and Draculae. Goddesses nestle in scalloped niches, and river decker perch on the path meets. Look up at the ceiling, with no sunken coffers, its glazed skylight, and ... who is that, flying through the air? It's the beautiful young fourteenth, kidnapped by Zeus in the form of an eagle. I got dizzy when I look up at him, and not only from the optical illusion. His face, though missing a nose, retains

Aaron, 1900 by The New York Times

a thrilling, disconnecting look of fear and delight.

Before the birth of the modern scientific museum, noble collections like the Grimani's had their own conception of sophisticated display: intentionally dense, placing pure importance on the total visual effect than individual objects. Almost 100 years later, the reconstruction of this room in its own achievement in archaeology — as well as just an eyeball of beauty.

3 A Secret Garden Hiding Behind One of Italy's Finest Churches

There are nearly 100 churches in Venice, and you could make it your business to trust them all, but my one-and-three pick is happily never too crowded. the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer, better known as Il Redentore, standing proud on the island of Giudecca and during Venice proper with a facade of blinding white.

This is a plague church — the word quercetitive, you may know, comes from the Venetian practice of entering 40 days' isolation on renting nature — built in the graceful aftermath of a lethal pandemic in the 1570s. Andrea Petralio, the garden child of Veneto architecture, devised a groundbreaking design with a grand main axe and ever lapping pediments, plus a dome that looms above the island. Every July since it opened, Venetiana held a position bridge across the basin, linking Redentore with the rest of the city in gratitude for the plague's end.

So far, no newshowes that what I want you to discover to behind Palla-

dio's gleaming facade: a secret garden, unseen for中国共产党 anyone who wasn't a Cigarette from its 2018, following years of negotiations and reservations (not to mention a flood that solved the earth), the Redentore garden is now open to the public. Simple wooden pergolas — and not as a cross, naturally — segment the garden, after the medieval fashion, into zones for flowers, herbs, fruit trees and vegetables. An apacey, a fizzy pond, chapels of nuclear fields — these simple elements, in the midst of looming Venice, frame a legion with Eden.

It's special enough to have this garden as a refuge. Redentore is in sight of the crater-day terminal, after all. But I love it here because this garden is a civic and religious institution just as much as the church. You come here for an hour's calm, but you leave feeling that an apricot tree has as much sanctity as an altarpiece.

4 An Ancient Mosaic, Intact On a Near-Abandoned Isle

GOTTA G. BOGOTTI, 78, 305 THIRD FEET

The outer islands of Venice are numerous (nearly three-dozen) and various, with functions ranging from glass main, subjecting to mental archaic. The most evocative of them may be Tarcello, in the north of the lagoon, which was the first of the islands in the march to be inhabited by landfathers escaping barbarian invasions in the fifth century A.D.

Almost nobody lives here anymore: But on this spongy wetland is one of the most astonishing words of religious art to Italy: a begging, active-packed mosaic that is a relic of Byzantine Venice. Spanning the rose wall of Santa Maria Assunta, the oldest church in the lagoon, this wall of gold drains Chese. More where ever, there is the cross, then pelling Adam and Eve out of hell, and then providing over the Last Judy, and then providing over the Last Judy. The other is the cross, featuring these thousands of red sand white tiles, guides our eyes to the night of the door, a blah where angels fan the flames. All the green tiles are on the left side of the door, a band of milk and honey, a paradise of glass. Choose your own etiology.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, the artisans from Constantinople who laid down its unavoidable treatises had a pretty obvious iconographic mission:

Let these pariahments know that your immortal soul was no trifling matter: But there are no pariahments any longer on Tarcello, just day-toppers. The mosaic of the Last Judgment therefore has a stronger, more bouncing stage. Long before (bounsday, we may see a preview of the End) in the midst of a holiday.

Jacobus di Santo Maria Assunta, Tarcello.

5 A Contemporary Architect's Reinvention of a Shadowland

Venice, the 300 years, has been a city of the dead. Time seems to hang to the air, beauty can't be untaugled from decline. All of that becomes literal on San Michele, the island cemetery and land home of Sara Frond, Igor Srovinsky, Sergei Stugfalov and so many other Venetian adoptees.

But if you hop the regovette to this little island, wrapped by fresh walls and dotted with high cigarettes, you'll find a new chapter in the life and death of an old city. The form of David Chipperfield, the Bethlehem! British architect of restrained monometridity, has spent decades resourcing and extending Venice's eternal renting place. He first subdivided its repetitive rows of graves into elegant court rams, and then built an eismary and other service elements on a new extension. The outer walls are of the same gray lothian stone familiar from Venice's churches, but inside, around the graves, are thin columns of concrete.

This is very quiet architecture, in a city that can be very loud. And yet, the restrained character of Chipperfield's courtramb has restored the romance of San Michele, where he so long, visitors to Venice moped and marveled. On many visits to this city I'd pay San Michele no equal, clogging past its studied fresh hallmarks on the way out to the airport. Chipperfield has remade the island of the dead as a place for the living.

170,000

The added number of defrauded borrowers whose federal student loans will be erased.

About 170,000 federal student loan borrowers who say that they have been defrauded by predatory for-profit institutions have gotten good news. A total of $11 billion of their debt will be wiped out after an appellate court rejected a request last month from the Education Department for more time to review the claims.

The case dates back to 2019, when a group of borrowers filed a class-action lawsuit claiming that certain for-profit schools had made false claims about graduates' earnings and used other tactics to fraudulently loan them into enrolling, The New York Times's Stacy Cowley reported.

The first Trump administration denied most of the claims, but a federal judge, who called the Education Department's evaluation process "disturbingly Kafkaswyan," rejected that administration's decisions. In 2022, the Biden administration settled the suit, eliminating the original plaintiffs' loans. That set up a five-month window in which additional plaintiffs could submit claims.

The latest decision brings the total number of borrowers in the class-action settlement to 500,000 people with debts totaling $23 billion, making it the largest class-action suit in American history, according to the Project on Predatory Student Lending, a nonprofit group that represented the borrowers.

The government had sought an extension of 18 months beyond its 2026 cutoff to review the cases.

JAMES WYNDER

The original settlement "imposed an unrealistic deadline," an Education Department spokeswoman, Ellen Kenst, told Ms. Cowley.

The outcome of this case represents a bright spot in a difficult environment for federal student loan borrowers. Rule changes made during the first Trump administration limited the relief available to those borrowers. The current administration dismantled the Biden-era repayment plan SAVE — short for Saving on a Valuable Education — meaning millions of borrowers had to find a new option and restart payments beginning July 1.

Management Advice Isn't His Go-To

Tarek Mansour

CHIEF EXECUTIVE, KALISH

A founder of the fast-growing prediction market company is aiming to provide a 'mathematical, objective' view of the world.

KALISH is a smaller company than many others. Most of its 200 employees work in an open-plan office in Manhattan's near-pooling district. They don't even take up a full floor of the building.

But Kalish and other prediction market operators like Polymarket seem ubiquitous those days.

They are major sponsors of sporting events. Media outlets incorporate their data into coverage about politics, financial markets and more. The sales allow users to wager on the likelihood of all manner of events - the final score of a soccer match, the net score of clinical drug trials and what words President Trump will say in a speech.

Kalish, which opened to the public in 2020, was founded in 2018 by a pair of recent M.I.T. graduates. Tarek Mansour, who acts as chief executive, and Laura Lopez Lara, chief operating officer. In May, the company joined Kalshi that valued it at $22 billion. Mr. Mansour, who grew up in Lebanon, and Mr. Lopez Lara, who is from Brazil, are now billionaires at 30, according to Forbes's calculations.

In the United States, prediction markets are regulated by the Community Futures Trading Commission, which authorizes them to operate across the country, unlike gambling companies that meet even more for every type of market. The U.S.C. has recently shrunk its work here, dialed back enforcement and helped increase prediction markets, according to an investigation by The New York Times.

Our industry's input growth has attracted a wide array of investors and new players, including those with less to the Trump family, Donald Trump Jr. is an investor in Polymarket and a paid adviser to Kalish. Others eyeing entry into prediction markets include Mark Zuckerberg of Meta.

Some lawmakers and regulators assert that prediction markets are just gambling by another name. And there is the risk of minder trading. In the past few months, a U.S. outlaw who helped capture Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela made related bets on Polymarket, and a White House subprime operator was required on Kalish on what Mr. Trump would say in speeches.

Lorrie James, New York attorney general, recently sued Kalish, accusing it of operating illegally and videotaping the state's laws on gambling. Kalish called the news "political throats" and said that states lacked the authority to shut down the company. More than a dozen states have introduced legislation that year to regulate prediction markets.

During recent head-skating round, Kalish said he announced trading volume had ballooned to $170 billion. For Mr. Mansour, markets that allow people to put money behind their profit trials provide a valuable service to help "celebrate" - a word he once often - the world in which "there's an abundance of information but a scarcity of truth."

This interview has been edited and condensed for clarity.

You have said that one of your visions for Kalish is to "financialize everything" these people consider that stymates. Why is it a good thing?

I think people took that statement out of control.

The beauty of prediction markets is they take a debate that is subjective, emotional, purpose and put it in a place where it's mathematical, objective and the incentive structure is very clear. If you do research, you analyze things, you're smart and you put in the effort to truth-seek, you will probably get rewarded by making money. If you have an opinion that's not biased, uncalibrated, too personal or too polarized, you probably will lose money.

There's a certain elegance in markets where you know for sure why someone is having the opinion that they have. They're truth-seeking because they are trying to make money.

Right now a lot of people go to Kalish for sports. What's the breakdown of most contracts on sports versus everything else?

Yes, people like to trade on sports. Our users are people who like math, they like economics, they like trading. They like thinking about probabilities and what happens, what impacts probability, what are the different factors. Sports is an amazing training ground for something like that.

And the numbers?

It was like 30 percent last year. I think it's closer to two-thirds today. Sports has a lot of events per week. There are not hundreds of political outcovers here.

Sports has been an incredible number of liquidity and growth in all the other categories, like crypto and politics and finance and economics. They're all growing significantly better than they were before sports.

Where is politics right now?

The big markets do fit in 100 million dollars of volume. These markets have gotten significantly more calibrated and significantly more accurate because of all the growth.

To come back to the "financialize everything" point, what's next?

Everything within limits, like with all things. Everything in moderation.

Kalish is a pre-regulation company. We're always hard to do things the right way. When we started, we spent years getting ready, figuring out what markets should be listed, getting the right licenses at the federal level, which was very difficult. We were 22-year-olds. We spent the first four years of our current working with lawyers and trying to regulate this thing.

Are you happy with regulation now? Do you have a lot?

There are holes in all regulations of all points in time where there is novelty and innovation. Otherwise, in this country we're probably not doing new things, right?

I love to ask about your strained relationship with Blayne Coplan, the head of Polymarket. Let's clear it up.

People like tension. It's not a competitive thing. There are other incredible competent companies in the space that I think honestly more about. Remitland, CME, Coinbase, Interactive Brokers, the banks and Zack are looking at prediction markets. Those are very worthy adversaries, and it makes me to be competing against people like that.

The difference with Poly is we have a philosophical misalignment.

Which is?

The philosophical line is the regulated or unregulated approach to the business. I think they have our established low-right guardrails around the marketplace. I think that's bad for them long term. It's bad for the industry long term.

"If you do research, you analyze things, you're smart and you put in the effort to truth-seek, you will probably get rewarded by making money."

How can people trust that the regulation that Kalish is pushing for is in customers' best interest?

The growth of the industry is indicative of people trusting because they're trusting us with their money. If people are getting hurt, if they're not trusting it, they're going to stop using it and tell other people.

Your company is growing fast. How do you balance broader leadership with staying focused on building the company?

Lanna and I work very, very hard. We just work longer hours. We work on weekends. I think you can always make time.

Once you're in a good place, there's a threshold that does people can take over. We must be the company spiritually, and I take care of a lot of the external stuff. That model has been working for us quite well.

At Kalish, we're very flat. That helps us move fast and get things done. There are not a lot of layers of management where the managers are getting the credit for work. The people doing the work are the leaders. That creates a sense of urgency and motivation.

Where does your management style come from?

Lotusone people quite commonly high in adaptability. It's a volatile place. The thing it put in me is that the world is very clear.

I think we're at a point where things are not going to say two weeks with A.I. It's so crazy right now. You have to build an organization that fits that frequency of your information. So we try not to have any structure.

We meanwhile ourselves, no matter what, so the most important challenges or the new opportunities.

Staying with your upbringing, what advice did you take away from your parents?

My money biggest one is always give 120 percent. Always go above and beyond. The results really lie in that last 20 percent.

LIGHTENING BOUND

What's a trade on Kalish that's recently played your interest?

The price of a impure.

What is your favorite interview question for job candidates?

What do you think of Elon Musk?

What's your most contrarian take?

I don't think executions are behind the performance of any good company.

Do you consider yourself a manager?

No, I'm incapable of managing.

What's the worst piece of advice given by young founders today?

The worst advice that most people get is that you should go and look out a bunch of advice. There's really no recipe to any of this stuff. People are more reliant on advice, and people love giving advice because it makes them feel smart and powerful. It's usually mostly trash.

So, then, what advice do you give young founders?

I say don't take my advice as gospel. Try as much as you can to take as much risk as you can.

Best advice for meetings?

Try not to meet.

A Rush to Support A.I.'s Boom

Huge amounts of land, electricity and money will be needed to ramp up computing power and sustain American advances.

By ADAM SACHARANG, PAO, WRITER, DEQUELINE GE and CARR METZ The milestones for artificial intelligence keep getting grandist

In 2021, an A.I. system passed the bar exam. In 2023, the technology helped scientists identify a suspected cause of Alzheimer's disease. In May, A.I. had advanced to be that it solved a complex math problem that had stamped subjects for 90 years. Last month, two A.I. systems under testing went rogue and hacked into a computer's database.

And this is still just the beginning. From the American Midwest to the Precincts, hundreds of major data centers now make construction will be turned on in the coming years. They are set to deliver an avalanche of computing power to develop and run A.I. that has no equation the history of the technology industry, with breakthroughs that once left revolutionary lands to become increasingly routine.

Behind each trap in A.I. are corresponding camps to computing power. Today, there are about 20 million A.I. chips consumed on the data centers that underpin the technology's growing abilities and image worldwide, according to the research firm Epoch AI. That figure is expected to double roughly every nine months, putting the world on pace to have about 200 million of the chips by the end of 2020 — 50 times current levels.

In size and ambition, this moment compares to the building of the cadreads in the terms of the United Franklin D Roosevelt's New Deal in the 1950s, and the Manhattan Project to create an atomic weapon in the 1960s, technologists said.

'This is the largest scale infrastructure built out in the history of humanity,' said Bob Wuchus, a co-founder of the encroachment firm Enfood, which has raised more than $5 billion to meet the growing demand for A.I. components.

Peter Dehaatis, who leads foundational A.I. models at Amazon — which provides computing power to the A.I. from Andhrava, Epoch and others — said the Seattle company has dedicated computing capacity to save 2,000 and would double it again by next year. 'It's hard to get your mind around the scale,' he said.

Finding the range is the belief that A.I. can take on more human responsibilities and solve increasingly complicated tasks with the more data and computing power you need it. This must, sometimes called the Scaling Laws, has become the driving force behind this technological era. Those with the most computing power will create the most advanced A.I. systems, capturing the biggest share of profit and value, tech leaders argue. The biggest engine, they say, will win the race.

Unblinded in the Scaling Laws has led A.I. leaders to make ever bolder predictions. Steve Amoskin, chief executive of Anthropic, has said that if these laws hold for another year or two, A.I. will be able to perform large amounts of white-collar work. Devon Hoensler, the chair of Google's A.I. lab (longitudinal, wrote recently that A.I. could order to 'life of the Industrial Revolution at 20s the open!')

Scientists and technologists are the coming deluge of computing power leading to drug, discoveries and robotics advances, and industry analysts said it would drive more everyday use of A.I. in people's personal and professional lives.

Doubling Every Nine Months

The number of A.I. chips, equivalent to $0.00 semiconductors made by Nubia, is rarely quarter, including near term projections.

Note: The data have represents $0.00 equivalent as measured by Chain in the Source: Epoch AI. THE NEW YORK TIMES

But the build-out has also stoked a backlash, spurring protests in many communities over how data centers could harm the environment, raise electricity prices and drop water. In the United States, data centers are shaping up as a major issue for November's uniforms elections, with a growing national movement pushing back against the tech industry and its billionaires.

Economists and investors have raised concerns that tech firms are spending hotter than they can profit from A.I. that infrastructure boom have been followed by downturns before the benefits of the technology were realized. The railroad boom in the 1980s, identification in the 1920s and the telecom bubble in the late 1980s were punctuated by economic recessions and a stock market crash on companies that overspans went out of business.

'Each time you've had a technological revolution, this kind of bubble bursting happened,' said Philippe Aglione, who won the Nobel in economic science in 2023 for research on innovation-driven economic growth. 'A I. is like the fourth industrial revolution, and it has this aspect to it that generates a bubble.'

With more computing power coming online, geopolitical divisions are only set to widen.

The United States, home to about 3,500 data centers, about 30 times the next closest country, is far ahead of the rest of the world, including China. U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Meta control about 60 percent of global computing power

that drives A.I., according to Epoch AI. Google alone is believed to have lost times as many A.I. chips as all of China's companies, which are racing to catch up by developing new semiconductors and A.I. infrastructure of their own.

Lack of transparency is the A.I. industry makes increasing global computing capacity difficult, including the volume of chip supplies, total number of data centers and overall electricity consumption. The New York Times relied on estimates from groups including Epoch AI, Cleanview and brain-analyses that study the industry and publish widely cited forecasts.

For now, there are no signs that the spending on A.I. will slow. By 2025, A.I. infrastructure investment is forecast to top 15 million globally, up from $330 billion last year, according to 1997, the market research firm. That would be on par with the economic output of Switzerland, the world's 20th-biggest economy.

The investment is worth it, said Jeff Dean, Google's chief scientist, because it will power A.I. innovations and spread the technology's size.

'The net capabilities emerge at larger scale that didn't occur at smaller scale,' he said. 'You're also now trying to bring these capabilities to net just a few million users for a more radio product, but really to bring the capabilities to hundreds of millions of billions of users.'

An A.I. Arms Race!

A.I.'s growing abilities are linked to increases in the size of data centers. To create

a cutting-edge model, huge amounts of computing power are needed to analyze and find patterns in data. That process, known as a 'training run,' can cost hundreds of millions of dollars as tens of thousands of specialized chips share through the data. Training works best when chips trade data over lightning-fast connections, and it can fatter when hardware breaks down.

Once an A.I. model is finished, a wider network of data centers takes on a different role by providing the computing power for the system to field operators in real time. This work, known as 'Adversus,' is increasingly driving the need for more data centers. As with a mad distribution that, putting computing power closer to users enables A.I. models to think longer, respond more quickly and complete more complex tasks.

To meet that demand, production of consumption tests is also skyrocketing. In March 2024, the world had about 2.4 million of 'HDR equivalent' A.I. chips, a rate of measurement that refers to the semiconductor that the 奈良能源公司成功将从 2022. Now an millions of users advanced chips as being brought online every month, the world is set to have about 200 million HDR equivalents by the end of 2020, according to Epoch AI.

The build-out could be slowed by troubles with chip and component manufacturing, financing and public opposition. Massive amounts of electricity will also be needed to support new data centers. Last year, the facilities consumed to gigawards of electricity globally, roughly as much electricity as Germany consumes, according to brainanalysis, a market research firm. By the end of 2019, that is expected to quadruple, aligning the power used by all sources in South America and Africa combined.

At the next advanced A.I. data centers, every gigaward of power squares to roughly 140 billion to 500 billion in users, including servers, land, connectivity and utility hookups, according to industry estimates.

'These companies are essentially in an A.I. area—one,' said Carl Beisoldd Froy, an economist at Oxford University. 'If they don't invest, they are acknowledging do-it-yourself.'

(The Times has used OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming copyright infringement is never content related to A.I. systems. The two companies have denied these claims.)

The U.S. Advantage

As more computing power arrives, American companies are expected to extend their A.I. lead. Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Meta and Oracle are projected to spend about $750 billion this year on data centers, chips and other A.I. infrastructure, up from roughly $400 billion last year, according to Goldman Sachs.

China, the most closest rival in A.I., is working to close the gap. Chinese companies had roughly 1.16 million HDR-equivalent chips at the end of 2020, up from roughly 300,000 at the beginning of 2024, though these figures exclude smuggled chips and other offshore computing resources used by Chinese firms, Epoch AI estimated.

China's National Energy Administration has estimated the country's electricity use for data centers will reach the equivalent of around 91 gigawards by 2030, or about 6 percent of total use, up from 29 gigawards last year.

China has been hamstrung by export control and other fixed productivity for United States on A.I. chips and other key technology. In address these hurdles, Beijing has a extension on focus.

In 2022, Quixotic used a data center tucked along Wandaos 20 near Des Moines to build what would become ChatGPT.

2024 | Colossus Memphis

Those origins now look modest. In 2024, 48K, Dori Musk's company, opened a far larger multibillion-dollar data center in a former appliance factory in Memphis, loading it with more than 100,000 A.I. chips and its own natural gas turbines.

Anthropic, whose recent model Mythos caused alarm among intelligence agencies for its unwary ability to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities, is using several interconnected data centers owned by Amazon that are forced out across an Indiana combat.

Even larger data centers are taking shape. In Wisconsin, Microsoft is expanding what it said could become the world's most powerful data center. Once it is completed by 2028, it will be more than 100 times as powerful as the machines that trained that early version of ChatGPT.

made A.I. sub-structures a national priority. In March, the Chinese Communist Party released a five-year economic strategy that mentioned A.I. more than 50 times and called for building an interconnected network of data centers to create "next generation supercomputing."

Xi Jinping, China's president, has post-tuned China as a counterweight to American tech dominance. "A.I. development should not be a sub-performance by a single country, but a symphony of international cooperation," he said in a recent speech in Shanghai.

China's top tech companies are building new A.I. chips and data centers. This year, Huawei, Rytellman and Alibaba are expected to spend $10 billion on data centers and other A.I. investments, according to Bernstein Research.

Even with these challenges, Chinese start-ups like November 14 and DeepSeek have built powerful A.I. models. Often given away as "spectromers" software, which others can freely use and modify, they are growing more popular. Many users regard the Chinese models as good enough, more efficient and cheaper than leading U.S. models.

Still, everyday use of A.I. is limited across China right now because of lack of computing infrastructure, such as loan, an analyst at Sensisnalysis.

Mr. Fianco said the U.S. data center load over China would most likely grow over the next four to five years, before China's domestic chips are produced at scale. After that, China should begin closing the gap.

"The advantage will run out," he said. The race between the United States and China threatens to leave the rest of the world behind. France, Germany and other nations are trying to encourage data center construction across the European Union, which has 5 percent of global A.I. compa-

Signs of that acceleration are already here. Osei, PepsiCo and Walmart are increasingly turning work over to A.I. "sports," the boss that can perform a growing list of marketing tasks like cutting, com-

piling research reports, handling customer support and reading and responding to results.

With more computing power, agents can take on more responsibilities, said Google's Dr. Dean, who has worked in A.I. research far more than 30 years. He envisioned a scientist asking hundreds of A.I. agents to autonomously devise and test various hypotheses in biological research and then taking the best leads to build off.

Under at least one new assessment, the Bernstein Labor Index, A.I. models have become increasingly capable. The test examines them ability to do common freelance tasks, like building a mobile video game. In October, leading models completed 2.5 percent of tasks. By July, Anthropic's Pablo A.I. model completed 16 percent.

These jumps in abilities have economists warning about major changes to the labor market.

"There's going to be millions of jobs destroyed, millions of jobs created," said Erik Bryzantsova, an economist who is the director of Stanford University's Digital Economy Lab. "That's going to be very difficult. Even if one jobs are created, they're not the same jobs."

Leading A.I. labs are continuing to race ahead. One long-weight breakthrough, called excessive self-improvement, would allow A.I. to spend its own program with little or no help from human developers. An A.I. model would essentially help build the next version of itself.

Google is already exploring various kinds of self-improvement tools. A process that once involved dozens of A.I. researchers testing hundreds of ideas could eventually be turned over to thousands of "very tiny models," which come up with ideas on their own, Dr. Dean said.

With more computing power coming, "you can fully automate the loop," he said. "We are at the beginning stages."

STRATEGIES | JEFF SOMMER

RETURING | SUSAN JAFFE

Fed Didn't Raise Rates. The Bond Market Did.

Rising market risk to these hurdles for home buyers and stocks but offer benefits to retirees.

THE FEDERAL RESERVE held interest rates steady in its latest meeting, But another important power in the financial world is not to be. That's the bond market, where thousands of traders make money for punitive dividends that can add up collectively to crucial policy different for world economy.

The bond market is a global asset, with more than 100 trillion in assets in the United States alone. It doesn't command headlines the way the stock market is lost, but when the bond market talks, people need to listen, in finance and buyout.

What the bond market has been so many lately is that risks are rising, rules of movement differ, but, when and hardly what it is, it is not to be so strong, questionable use of vast sums of capital to build artificial intelligence, an uncertain direction for the Fed under these leadership: mounting national debt, and broad political dysfunction.

Most crucially, these concerns mean that if you want to borrow money, you have to pay more for it. How high bond yields — or interest rates — will ultimately go to a critical question. The implications are broad, and

Higher yields are, inescapably, a hardship for prospective home buyers because mortgage rates are closely linked to 10-year Treasury yields. Where yields go, mortgage rates follow. Higher rates are tough for people carrying credit card debt and related loans. They are a burden, too, for companies with big capital needs, like the cash, goods, contracting, a data context with increased money. And while the stock market has largely damaged oil using yields, that entire market could be let hard if rates were to rise much further.

On the positive side, higher yields can be a team for retirees who want to lock in side income by buying individual banks or fund securities with a richer guaranteed income stream.

In the long run, higher yields benefit people who own bond funds, too, but buying funds funds can be tricky. That's because yields and bond prices move in opposite directions, and when yields compare rapidly, bond prices fall. As a result, bond funds can decline in value.

Many shifts across the interstate have occurring this year. The Alliance Core U.S. Aggregate Bond ATF, which tracks the investment goals benchmark Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, was in positive test for a trough. State for the rise in bond yields in the U.S. and with the decline in the prices of the underlying bonds in the fund — equal out those gains.

On Thursday, according to Foxx, the fund was down slightly for 2026. It yields rise further, expect short-term, and a few longer periods, if yields settle as a higher level, they will share out better returns for long-term fund holders. (If you own actual bonds, and not bond funds, then value will fluctuate too, but you need to increase this directly if you hold them to maturity.)

Pain and Intimidation

While bond yields decline weak, along with the price of oil, on news that President Trump had backed down from his latest threat to socialize the war with Iran, yields remain constant. They move near their highest levels in 25 years, reached on July 6. Unclear day, according to the U.S. Treasury, the 10-year Treasury yield closed at 475 percent and the 30-year at 537 percent. Some comparisons are revealing. Both in and 10-year Treasury yields were roughly three-quarters of a point lower last written — and they were more 5 per cent in 2022. The way up has already been substantial.

On a historical basis, yields are not crumbingly high — even in January. Gearing the two benchmark 10-year Treasury yield exceeded 10 percent in 2016, a year of currency inflation, and averaged more than 6 percent in the 1980s.

The economy has dealt with higher yields in the past. They assume perhaps it that bonds, which I carried a mortgage with a rate of over 8 percent.

But if yields jump further, words out. The bond market's ability to tackle cardiovascular or a broad swath is the economy (with overdrift, renders handsomely) is awesome, and politicians leave it.

The best description of that power comes from financial trials. On financials not overnight, who said during the 800,000-years administration that if he were reinsurtained, 'I would like to come back as the bond market. You can notice

date everybody.'

The bond market seems to have coined Mr Trump. A run-up in bond yields apparently caused him to pause a long-term debt. In 2025, 'I was watching the bond market,' the president, a big, bond investor, said then, 'The bond market is very tricky.'

His attitude toward the Federal Reserve is different. While Mr Trump was outlays with the Fed's reluctance to cut rates as sharply as he would like, he called to borrow their interest 85. Pencil (where Mr Trump selected for the job) a 'fund,' a 'maintained' and a 'staged process.' The president has been more supportive of the man he picked to be Mr. Powell's success — the Fed's new chairman, Kevin M. Warris, but those are really days. If the Fed doesn't know their vector-conscious — or even worse, it is more than, as some insure of financial markets expect — Mr. Trump's self-restricted may not last.

The Fed's traditional plans didn't include the bond market. It can intervene there, but has been back to do so many. Mr. Warris criticized the unorthodox monetary policy adopted by the Fed during the financial crisis that began in

On a historical basis, yields are not crumbingly high — not yet, anyway.

2016. That policy included 'quantitative money' governing large bond purchases that favored longer-term interest rates. Mr. Warris has said that he wants the Fed's bond market last year to decline.

But the Fed can't stay out of the bond market entirely. It still looks more than 50 trillion in bonds and similar securities. It could easily be pulled to despite.

This is complex: small firms the Treasury Department's recent national intervention is prop up the value of the Japanese you could be seen as a way to prevent U.S. yields from rising further. Japan in a major leader of Texascoms, and of itself is still a large amount of the debt to prop up its uprising currency. It could push up U.S. costs.

Simply yes, the Trump administration doesn't want domestic interest rates to soon further. In the contrary, it would take more time, which might stimulate economic growth. A fast-growing economy tends to enhance the popularity of sounded politicians, and Mr. Trump is not, at the moment, a popular president.

Mr. Warris hasn't compared it publicly about the Treasury intervention. But helping Japan might help the financial team, where yields are high enough already to be causing pain.

Uncertain Directions

Ordinary people may not study the bond market's picture country, but interpret rates or their affect everyone nonetheless.

It's not just mortgage rates, student loans, credit cards, car loans and short-seller-wallet better borrowing costs that people need to worry about.

Rising bond yields are a handle for stocks, too. As higher rates, investors with money to spare can get a better return when they put it into bonds, particularly safe. Trimmings. For the one answer, and especially in those of stores, higher yields may tip the balance in the trade-off between stocks and bonds, making bonds more appealing than riskier stocks.

Most investors aren't there yet. There's many enthusiasm for numbers to hit the stock market to new highs. But the stock market's uncertainty dependence on big, low, or A.I. earnings, in this context, will only be less money, makes that market especially watercruise. If the rate of borrowing keeps rising — and if bond yields rise, it will be a 5.5-fold-redecessor more obviously problematic for some companies. Investors might become disenchanted with A.I. stocks.

For the moment, the overall stock market is changing, off this issue as the apparent belief that rich insurance earnings will propel share prices over higher.

I'm not entirely contented that this cycle can continue. Bond yields haven't increased 8 percent. If tobacco was the only one, the 10-year 2016 and was to the Middle East and Ukraine, that could easily happen — yields are likely to steepen, too.

With even wide open, it continues to invest in a high interest and benefit. The new cost is little funds. But I'm also trying to hold onto enough cash to ride out the next storm.

Perks Draw Scrutiny To Medicare Advantage

Medical marijuana is off limits. More judgment calls on extra benefits are expected in 2027.

Mr. Holbach, who knows Abraham, Blume, writes: going to the gym, which has plus, from the health care nonprofit Maricots Point, pays for. 'They're trying to keep you healthy, keep you moving,' he said.

Mr. Holbach, 76, is one of nearly 35.5 million people who have chosen Medicare Advantage, the plans sold by commercial health insurers, over the traditional fund interest rate Medicare program, which provides health insurance rates (over 4%) or disabled adults.

Since the first Trump administration gave insurers leeway in 2019 to offer extra benefits, it's covered by traditional Medicare, officials have signaled things have gone a little too late.

C.M. E. gamblers were very beautiful the beginning, said David Lipschatz, collector of the Center for Medicare Advocacy. 'As plans get more creative and try to make a number with new benefits, C.M. is a making judgment calls about what complex with the law.'

The plans will receive many $100 billion this year, or about 10.5 billion more than the government pays to care for similar patients in traditional Medicare, according to the Medicare Population Survey Commission, a comparison independent group created by Congress.

An addition to the challenges of finding which plans offer whole extra benefits, C.M.S. has acknowledged problems with using one debt card to pay for different kinds of benefits such as groceries and pharmacy items. Combining benefits 'can create confusion as members may not realize that using the card for one's health means foraging another.'

Where Is the Money Gaining?

A difference charge that was supposed to take effect this year was delayed and then rescinded by the Trump administration. It would have required plans to notify beneficiaries every July about which extra money is paid. The money is being used. Insurers had argued that one month was not enough time to send a lengthy, individualized payment to the money members without incurring excessive costs.

Information about which Advantage rents benefits can need is also essential to determine whether the federal tax dollars have a change in the cost of good insurance, and (increases) business, you promote for Medicare at the Commonwealth Fund.

It's no secret how much insurers receive the benefit from benefits, but C.M.S. does not require plans to disclose how much money they spend and how much they pay. There's a lot of money going towards supplemental benefits, but we do not know if they're the benefits that people truly want' life. See more: state.

Nicole LePera is being sued over her online platform, the historic Psychologist.

Troubles for a Self-Help Guru

Millions look to Nicole LePera on social media for advice, but her own story is complicated.

By GIVIA BELLAPANTE

In 2016, after several years of practicing conventional psychotherapy in Philadelphia, Nicole LePera began a new venture, the Holistic Psychologist, an online self- help platform that reflected her growing skepticism toward traditional methods of

treating anxiety, depression and other men- tal afflictions.

At first, it wasn't much more than an fin- chogram page with a few hundred followers. Within two years, there were 1.5 million. The Holistic Psychologist had expanded to include a website and a paid membership service, all of it available to meet the com- monet unraveling of the pandemic. Locre- tive book deals followed. LePera's main message — that we are all capable of heal- ing ourselves — was finding an even more pervasive reception.

LePera's chief partner was her wife, Las- ron Galvin (known as Lady), who helped shape the company's identity. Early on, they were joined by a third person, Jenna Weakland, who engaged with the online community and appeared alongside LePera in videos and on podcast episodes. Like Galvin, Weakland had no textual psychoing- ical training. At one point, LePera announced on Instagram that she, Galvin and Weakland were in a romantic relation- ship together.

Inside a Screening of 'Tony' for Bourdain's Comrades

Servers, bartenders, line cooks, dishreaders and chefs were treated to a night at the movies.

By ALINNA HABIBASANI GUPTA

Nothing Bourdain called America's professional kitchens "the last refuge of the world," in an essay published in The New Yorker in 1999.

That two places for seven, that emblooms three who have moved from York on the 9-to-5-period and have grown up on "ever-turnings.Friday or Saturday night off" or a "normal relationship with a non-cook."

On Monday night, many self-described "smiles" went to the movies.

In 22 cities across the country — including Boston, Philadelphia and Los Angeles — hundreds of restaurant workers gathered at cinemas for an early screening of "Tony". A 1,000-mile cross-over by the Louisiana-based billows Bourdain during a summer in the 1970s he spent working as a dishwasher at Flagship, an oyster joint in Provincetown, Mass.

The events, organized by shortfalls, Square and the movie's production company, AIA, ahead of the film's release on Friday, were a kind of salute to Bourdain's world.

In New York, servers, hosts, bartenders, line cooks, dishreaders and, of course, chefs, from a range of the city's dining res-

ples, including the Orion, Black Food Repeats, Wagmann and Licenza, were invited to spend the night at the Royal Cinema: Times Square. They greeted one another with begin and first people on they picked up cups that read "support local restaurants" and reached for sodas served in giant plastic dish containers.

"I went into an Anthony Bourdain spinal and night," one woman admitted to another.

"Me too?" her friend replied.

The screening opened with a pronounced

message from Johnson, Dominic Innes, who plays Bourdain, and Leo Woodall, who plays a line cook, for the restaurant industry workers in the room.

The movie "is a love letter to you," Johnson said.

As the film played, many in the audience wined at rookie mortality from a man who, when he died at 61 in 2018, had ascended to some of the greatest lengths of the food world. They laughed at the familiar on-screen grime of the kitchen, and when the

movie ended, they applauded and cheered. "Guests then walked a few blocks through Times Square to an after-party at the Shermaid Oyster Bar, in a and to Bourdain's culinary room and his declared love for oysters. "It's quite nice that all these people have a night off," said Hans Lee, chef and partner at Times Port, a second-restaurant. "The fact that everyone chewed up shows what kind of impact Anthony Bourdain had on the people in our industry."

Lee said the movie gave him "a lot of

And more in the industry feel this shift has also brought a new respect for their value.

I cannot tell with his every so much. And then I got a job at a local whiskey but in my area. And I just like worked my way up from there."

When plans for "Tony" were announced several years ago, there were rather groin-bling even Bourdain would have tuned the mythologization. That, of course, is hard to know, but perhaps he might have enjoyed a few oysters among the industry friends he often referred to as coincides.

Durag and Bonnet Ban Perplexes Student Body

At Taskegee University, some see the new dress code as a solution in search of a problem.

By SANDRA E. GARCIA

In a recent letter to students, Taskegee University in Alabama outlined several new policies set to go into effect in the state school year. Colphones are to be turned off during class, the school returned, and attendance will be tracked. But the change that received the most attention was the new dress code.

"Students are prohibited from wearing revealing clothing in class, to the caliber in or in official settings like Cornwalters," Mark A. Brown, the university president, doesn. "They are also not able to wear bodyroom shoes, bonnets or decaps to class or the caliber(s)."

In an interview, Brown said that his only role with the new dress code was to give the letter a place to practice for life after graduation.

"The only need we feel is to prepare students to be successful. That's it," he said. Taskegee has always believed, he added, that "we need it to use students to prepare them for whatever space they desire to go to."

Black hair, and the tonne used to maintain it, are often picket-lift on back and other in class. "I want to be in a lot," said the barred players from wearing decaps, which, like bonnets, are used to protect a sexual hair. UPS didn't allow Black employees to wear them last summer until 2020, and in 2020, they were not familiar, had the dreadfuls cut off in a high school gym in order to participate in a wrestling match.

But the restrictions can feel more pointed when banked down by a reward of Black men's credit class, and the country's most respected historically Black universities.

Brown, a Taskegee graduate from the class of 1944, suggested that none of the expectations were new.

"The course of the Taskegee's private historically Black college and university that's been around for about 10 years, is also students adhere to the policies," he said. "This is less about achievement. It is about student success."

The university has a strong record of improving its students' economic prospects at

our graduation. According to an enquirer's 2017 study, one-third of Taskegee students moved up two or more income quintiles; some 5.2 percent came from poor families but grew up to become rich adults.

DeCarole Plockney, an incoming freshman, began to question what the dress code would mean for her meetings after she saw the race, which was next to students on July 22. Nine days out from her move-in date, she wondered what she would wear to her sister, or how long it would take her to get ready in the morning.

"I just wake up. I go get my food, I eat, I collect my thoughts, I get ready for my day," Plockney, 10, said on a break from packing up her belonging ahead of her first big move. "I don't want to really be worried about changing."

She was caught off guard by the note. "I think setting a dress code for students who pay to go to school in general kind of shocked me," she said, adding that she did not normally wear bonnets and pajamas to class while she was in high school. "Attending an 8 B.C.U. I kind of knew that business cannot was the standard."

Taylor Wilson, 18, an animal and veterinary sciences major, will be starting her sophomore year at Taskegee this month. When she received the memo explaining

the new dress code, she mostly freaked it off, taking it to mean that the school was trying to prioritize professionalism in general. "I was fine with that," Wilson said. "But like I was seeing a little bit of child's ability," went back and read the email, and that's when I first saw the school to which the university was taking it."

Other new policies included one that prohibits the use of electronic device in class except "when expressly authorized by the instructor" and another introducing a penalty of a full letter grade reduction for four uncensored absences.

"I just feel like a lot of people care all of that, but their only focus was on decaps and bonnets," Wilson said. "Overall, it was unnecessary for the university to put out the dress code because I just feel like there are much bigger problems at least right now," she added, alluding to disarray in the assignment of on-campus student housing as Taskegee prepares a receive "a record number of new students."

When Rayne Caldwell, in the sophomore class president, got the email on the new dress code, she was perplexed, she said.

"I knew I personally can't get anyone access answer the phone to get my housing cleared, get my financial and credit or anything," she said, "so when I later the dress code, I was like, 'Oh my gods, why are we focused on this?'"

Caldwell also suggested that even before the new dress code was uncensored, student attire was not an issue on campus.

"This is not a problem that Taskegee Uni-

versity has ever had," she said. "I've never seen anyone going to class in bonnets. I've not seen anyone doing anything that was unprofessional."

The preoccupation with "professionalism" can be loaded, particularly when it comes to Black dress. Fitted cups, nagging pants and — as name-checked in the Taskegee letter — "bothers about" have frequently emerged as cultural lightning rods in discussions of respectability politics in 2016. Patrick Oleson suggested that posting a law against nagging pants would be "a waste of time" but that Black men should avoid the trend out of "respect for other people."

To Caldwell, the very suggestion that the rule needed to be put in place was somewhat insulting to the Taskegee student body.

"I feel people took that as a little bit disrespectful — maybe a little 'glovesist revic," she said, adding that the university already had a strong "drone to improve" culture.

"It is such a reminder," she said. "It is quite the opposite of what people are saying it is."

In her first year at Taskegee, Wilson, the rising sophomore, participated in campus events, including one boasting "An Man in Suite A 300 Women in Books" There is also "Fired Chorus Wednesday" and "Fired Fish Friday," which invite students to put on their best outfits to share a stealth in the calorie, she said.

"People don't just walk around in pajamas and slippers and bonnets," Wilson said.

Mark A. Brown, the president of Taskegee University, at an event last year. He says the new dress code prepares students: "for whatever space they desire to go to." But students like the sophomore class president, Rayne Caldwell, below, think it is unnecessary.

The suggestion that a rule needed to be put in place is seen as insulting.

Their Engagement Calendars Are Too Full for Romance

Singles veer away from dating apps, packing their schedules with new interests and friends.

By SANDRA RUSAN

Salsa clues after work on Monday. Chess club on Tuesday. Boxing on Wednesday.

That was only the first half of 'It's Laidlaw's work. So when the conversation turns to dating, the answer is simple: 'Lately he's making more time for hobbies than dates.'

After his last relationship ended in 2024, Laidlaw coached for bad because of ground and robotic. Even though he followed the trajectory of graduating from college, getting a job and saving money, 'something was missing,' he said. He wasn't feeling concerned in response.

Laidlaw, 81, tried different hobbies. For him, it was about staying curious and putting himself in environments he wouldn't otherwise be in. And now, he feels more well-rounded. Chess, he example, introduced him to new people and taught him life because around strategy and accountability.

'I'm so fulfilled in my life that I know the right person will come,' said Laidlaw, a freelance in creative direction who lives in London. 'But I'm not out searching for it.' Even though he's a relationship kind of guy - 'I want to do the boom, but outside the house,' he said, referring to a scene from the 1999 classic film 'Says Anything'. He's finding he's less concerned with dating because he's enriched in other ways.

'I'm so good with where I'm at,' he said, that 'the energy I've spent otherwise.'

You could call it 'hobbyunkey.' Laidlaw is among a growing number of singles emphasizing multiple hobbies over dating. Rather than spending hours scoping and messaging on apps, these singles are investing their time, energy and disposable income in passions like rock climbing, cake decorating and creativity promoting. They say their social calendars are packed, their brand groups are expanding and their lives feel rich, with or without a romantic partner.

Young people are prioritizing their well-being and happiness in a way that other generations have not, said Alexandra Solomon, a clinical psychologist and adjunct professor at Northwestern University. 'Lets of people in this generation are asking important questions about this cigarette model of working from time to time,' Dr Solomon said. 'They're trying to create lives that have some more flexibility and adaptability and that really value the experiences in life that are beyond just earning money.'

They are also a generation feeling disenfranchised by A.I. and distrusted toward drinking, making wholesome, creative and tactile activities all the more appealing. On-line, terms like 'hobbymanning,' the pursuit of as many hobbies as possible, have taken off. According to TikTok, whiskers

han seen an almost 15 percent increase in gross in the U.S. so far in 2020 compared with last year, and egrandmafoblesse has generally more than 400 percent.

'Sole sport,' a term originally used in gaming, has taken on a new life online. It describes the activities and adventures in which people partake outside their routines to add whimpy to their lives. According to TikTok, U.S. posts using the term 'sole sport' increased over 200 percent this year compared with the same time period last year.

Lisa Kimura, a 35-year-old user experience designer in Brooklyn, has mastered the art of the sole sport. Each year you also mastered it, he acquired by a fascinating music scene in her Bedrock neighborhood that she felt needed more women.

She also took a genealogy class last year and began building her family tree, then picked up Japanese languages for their enduring passion, though, is their arts. She hone and hobbies in just about every time until she can get her hands on, she said, including crochet, tapestry weaving, rag-sitting, embroidered, and crooked.

Kimura moved to New York in 2023, excited for the dating scene. But as an intro-

vert, she found the experience draining, the insect looms on date once last summer. 'I realized that it's really difficult for me to bear my inner voice when I'm in a relationship,' or sometimes just in the presence of a man, she said. 'I grew up in a very traditional, very young man household where the partner dry was alive and well.'

Hobbies have helped Kimura feel more secure and find her voice, partly because many of her hobbies end with a finished product, giving her a feeling of accomplishment. Unlike the women in previous generations in her family, whose lives were enthroned on marriage and raising children, she feels empowered to pursue the activities that bring her happiness.

'I feel like I can design my future,' she said. As for romantic relationships, Kimura said she's not closed off to dating indefinitely. 'I just don't feel like I'm in such a vain anymore.'

Nanabe Mora, a 23-year-old student in Berlin, said, 'I'm the single brand who is always doing everything.' In addition to a nice diving, native visiting, bordering and letting, 'you'll catch me daydiving, you'll catch me traveling anywhere, camel riding, horse riding' like added: 'I'm

young, I don't have a husband, I don't have kids. I'm the happiest I've ever been single.'

Amy Chen, a dating coach and author of a book called 'Changle'. Here is Dale Smart or and Create Love That Lasts' and 'Theatre have strong designs. They are just a cheap-grounded with the apps that some of them are not dating at all.'

For clients who tend to lose themselves in relationships, Chan advises shifting focus away from finding dates and toward building a rich personal life first. 'It's really, let's build a full life so that you're not coming from a place of scarcity and you're not daring like you're marving,' she said, adding that establishing independence creates a positive ripple effect when they do return to dating.

'There is a collective course correction around dating apps, which have been the entrepreneur of dating in the late 20 years,' added Dr Solomon, the psychologist, and the solution is investing in real-world experiences.

This isn't necessary if a bad thing, so long as it is not coming from a place of emotional retreat or avoidance, she said, adding, 'Putting yourself out in the world with acts-

al humans and actual art projects or creative endeavors or community endeavors - that's a really healthy adaptation' And these endeavors could even lead to new romantic prospects who have common interests.

When a relationship ended five years ago, Lenny Graves, who works in marketing in London, fared being single. Over time, as she saw friends go through different stages in their relationships, she thought: 'I have so much freedom. I have all my own money to spend, I can go on whatever holidays it was.'

Once she returned her perspective, she felt lucky. New Graves, 64, said she is thriving in her sole era.

After finishing work at 5 p.m., instead of spending her evening, welcoming in bed, at she had sometimes done, she began lighting candles, getting in a movie and you're living, water coloring, doing puzzles or making pottery. She began looking forward to her activities after work and realized that relationships are not the goal.

'The goal is actually to enjoy your own company, and the best way to do this is to find a hobby that you absolutely love, and you can love yourself as and get in that direction,' Graves said.

Amade Kalkie, the owner of Polak Kitchen, notes cake decorating classes in New York that are popular for singles. 'So many folks join for sole dates and things to do as an alternative to dating apps,' she said. 'I think right now, there's kind of a boom in people wanting to do these sorts of activities - something that's creative, tactile and also not focused on drinking.'

For Michael Fousin, who lives in Cambridge, England, and works in marketing, that has included public boarding, open water swimming and batting. He took so three activities as January after splitting with a long-term partner. He has two teenage children who have become more co-dependent and developed their own social circles. These two factors combined left Fousin, 42, to do a lot of soul-searching.

It started with baby steps, he said. 'I'm just trying to do things to get my spark back, to lift my mood, to give me something to do.'

'I think where I maybe have gone wrong in the past is I'm kind of defined happiness by a successful relationship,' Fousin said. His definition has since changed, though.

'The more confident, the more fulfilled, the more I enjoyed my social network,' he said, 'the better partner I will be in the future and the more likely I am to find the right partner as well.'

Stressed Out? Overwhelmed? Try Being Jack Johnson Instead.

The singer's odes to going with the flow are the soundtrack to a soothing summer of 'hopecore.'

By JOHN HENRIKHOFF

As the house lights crept up, Jack Johnson saddled — down he more at any other speed? — down the course aisle of a Manhattan movie theater.

It was a camp Monday night, and "KORELMOIST," a documentary about the singer-songwriter's extremely low-carbon life, had just received at the Angelika Film Center in St. Helens hereto as such at two below the carolied air of household-name status. His catalog of unassuming beach guy is a single in many a white-rolled broads spot where drinks come in Mason jars: "Munano Pancakes," his song about, among other things, the runaway of getting out of bed, has over 70 million streams on Spotify. He is the sound track for a Sunday drive in a tenable federal vehicle, and, these days, his original diversion are, like him, navigating the home of midlife. Surprisingly (or not), some of their kids have become Jack Johnson then, too.

Facing the Angelika crowd, he flashed a smile as he is named the room for questions. A young guy raised his hand. His wedding day was approaching, he said, and he was curious whether Jack and his wife, Kim, had any relationship across. Also, he named Jack to know that he and his fiancée had picked one of Jack's songs for their first dance.

Also: that Jack was invited to their wedding.

Also, could Jack stop it for those? That hyper-handicavity, a collapsing of distance, a soothing new in Johnson. (Millions of people love Oasis, it's difficult to imagine someone trying that move with Lynn Gallagher.) Two and a half decades into his career, Johnson emanates the energy of an old body who never moved away. He is not edgy, nor is he prone to provocation. Rather, he represents a challenge to his new culture and physics. What if everything pleasant part stayed the same forever?

The morning after the film screening, Johnson shuffled into the lobby at the Ganneroon, a hotel in the non-holding district. Though he carries an almost uncommon presence, he was approached for an autograph the moment he stepped onto the sidewalk. He cut with his hands in his lap and shoulders staring into the sidewalk frame, and, over many cups of coffee, was successfully pulled with the wait half. He is the type of one who, even during his one of four consecutive platinum albums in the 2000s, preferred to hop in the front seat when being driven.

This Johnsonian simplicity, or the performance of it, has lately become unpleasant. "Jack Johnson summer" — the movie, a companion soundtrack, a tour — is creating along with a wider simple philosophy. Count the ways you can teach guess. Over the past couple of months on social media, a memo has been written to give you try to spike my cortisol, just know that "I'm having a Jack Johnson summer".

The phrase accompanies all manner of buccle images: wishing up in a tour, biking with pals, sparking up at a municipal golf course. Bennett Ariman, a Gen-Z content creator who leads biking expeditions and posts, uploaded his own "Jack Johnson summer" marriage-igniting burgers, drinking a Coors' as part of a larger effort to counter "high tide" with "hopecore" داشت, which he's noticed have grown in popularity.

In a clip encompassing a grub-bag of the that Johnson can soothe, a different user is used a joking pre-condition. "Let's Jack-mate! Let's Supernive-mate to some Jack! Iron, Israel, Roman, North Korea, U.S.A. — sit in a circle, hustles on the beach, toss in the sand, Jack-nunning, DNA spinal tap of Jack, 50 happiness."

Though (mostly) a joke, the viral video-captures something red. Legend of people feel trapped in a conquest of stores, security anger, declining mental health, demanding attention ripens much worse by the past damn and, more recently, a feeling of being pummeled by A.I. sings.

Meanwhile, Johnson is off carding waves, needling-runes, reaching kids about sustainability and conquest. If you were derail where he went, he's been here the whole time. Does he think the rest of us are sure? Could life really be an image of courts re-serve water and a plethora of vitamin D?

At his screening, after a few audience questions, Johnson picked up an acoustic guitar and played "Biden to Shadows," a musical sample of a cast (my followed by "Sister Together," which he feels used to be nouns in the newly-wish. He held over contact with the couple while he streamed and sung. They featured.

He collected on the interaction the most morning. "They didn't have their phonics out, they were both leaning in and listening, and I was so happy for that," he said. He finds a "interesting" love many wedding invitations he gets.

That, and, well, the number of parents who tell him they use his music to put their kids to sleep. He has decided to take the last toe as a compliance.

So one of the best scenes of the document vary, Johnson appears in an office chair. It is a jarring night, like seeing King Charles in a Pizza Hut. When pressed about it, he lightly scuttled at his perceived image: "Somebody told me about that term," Johnson said, so, forcing to: "Jack-nunning." He smiled, but made it clear he wasn't keen on being replaced in a curriculum.

This idea of what I am, the barefoot guy on the beach," he began. "Is it of that is true, but I'm very much a guy who's coming teenage kids in the country's world, and I'm tally understand the pros and cons of social media and the world that we're to enjoy," he said.

Though Johnson himself is not a slave to the algorithm — his trust-hurdles his social accounts — he stands that he's also not Big Van Winkle. He sees intrigue in Bride and means—va texts from his friends. He and Kim haven't yet understood for their children, and have instead given them a master. Try to produce more than you're consuming.

The Origin of 'Simple and Pure'

In late June, Jack Johnson's "Jack Johnson summer" included an afternoon in Asbury Park, a night on the water at Johns Beach and a ring of the waveless yet severe Saratoga Performing Arts Center, where twins roamed in buggy jeans and earth true trees.

For the bulk of Johnson's issues, his wife and kids have accompanied Kim and Kim left her teaching job to become one of his managers. Biting backstage in Saratoga, she emphasized that her husband was far from an aired rock star.

"I think he's one of the most grounded people I've known in my life, and he helps ground me so much," she said. "But I don't want to say he's totally disconnected from the world."

She described Jack as well-read, someone who does to talk politics and current affairs, a guy who often plays devil's advocate when chopping it up in conversation.

Johnson can be surprisingly dry and self-deprecating. At the film screening, he rescheduled growing up on the North Shore of Oahu, announced in the unhurried rhythm of the ocean. "I kind of blame that for why my songs are so slow and boring," he said.

When he's home in Hawaii, he says he can easily go weeks without picking up a guitar, but he must get in the water.

We're it not for a surfing accident at age if that left him with a loved opera and broken front teeth; Bats said, he probably would have pursued a pro surfing career. During his recovery, he was briefly on the path of a "straight" life, and his dad warned him to become an actuary at the University of California, Santa Barbara, he studied math before eventually switching to film. But the surf accident also increased his interest in songwriting.

Throughout much of his life, though, man was still a hobby, and Johnson saw the world the night a camera loss. He developed a close relationship with the filmmaker, Emmett Malley, collaborating on a pair of surf docs, "Thicker Than Water" and "The September Seasture." (Malley also divorced the new film.) When Malley became an تحصیل music video director, he brought along Johnson as a secondary entertainment sheets for bands like Blah (Hi), Foo Fighters and Lamp Baité. When working on the video for Lamp Baité's "Break Briff," Malley recalls, the approaches Fred Pucci expressed interest in signing Johnson.

"I mean, it would have been a whole different way," Malley said with a chuckle.

In "KORELMOIST," the singer-songwriter Bob Harper, one of Johnson's mentors, re-emptions something that many people seem to miss about the friend: "It takes a great deal of intensity to actually sound simple and pure."

Malley, when describing Johnson, brought up Andy Sandberg's windup of him on "Saturday Night Live," in one sketch, handing an Johnson, host of "The Yellow Show" themes out non-soumture: "Cargardness! Ultimate Flixbox?" "Organ cookies!" In another, handing does an ad for "I J Casuals," shows that look like bare feet.

The "mellow man" thing, Malley said, is an incomplete picture.

"He's a sweet guy to everyone, and he's very caring," Malley said, "but I will say the big, big surprise is that he's easily the most competitive person I know."

Out in the ocean, is the surfing theory fighting for a wave, for a magazine cover-image, Johnson could be education: "You have to be kind of geasily," he said. "And that's in Jack."

Flip-Flops Onstage

Backstage in Saratoga, Johnson and his handsomans warmed up in a rehearsed room dotted with black-and-white photos of Pete Sengle, Tina Turner and other stars who had graced the venue. Each fall, his piano player and old college friend, offered up hot holdies. Johnson eventually took the stage in the same thing he'd been wearing all day a standard yellow tee, failed jeans and flip-flops.

Even he gave and even out and three their arms around one another. When Johnson arrived at his lot "Biking, Waiting, Wishing," he started a long, slow start of himself: "What's Love Got to Be With It? Be covered Salubani's dragon? We authors 'Radfish,' and his guitar sounded, rather pleasingly, like taped. A cool breeze blew through the backstage gore. Suddenly, everyone was Jack-nunning."

Though the crowd spanned generations, from middle schoolers to One-Save like Johnson, a huge result of attendees up-presented on the ground that's teen years. A trio of skater-looking dishes passed a soul. Some guys stood in circles in bright green and very dry circles of girls in cowboy boots and dream skirts.

A 50-year-old named Sam wondered the grounds with a couple of friends. He'd been listening to Johnson for whole life, he said, and, like a man, it was more to see, and covered him through the music he wrote for a "Curious Giving" school. One truck for that movie, "Upside Down," became one of Johnson's biggest songs.

A group of students, and four dad used to play. Johnson's music while he made breakfast. Many others had found him through TikTok, where users did household chores in Johnson's song "Washing Dishes," a packed day a friend said upon them around to the tune of "Upside Down."

At the night there is a door, the backing hand left the stage, and Johnson took requests for an accurate set. He played "Constellations," a song that made in his father's love of stargazing. Though his dad died in 2009, Johnson can still toggle between referring to him in the past and present tones:

"My dad is a sweetheart, but he was a very dramatic guy," Johnson said very earlier. Jeff Johnson, was, in his son's telling, someone who could be anything, who could not by the stars. Johnson himself had an evening on front of his dad than his mom. "He wasn't a good guy, but he wasn't the quickest to give out compliments," Johnson said. One night in the early 2000s, during a row when Johnson's moves started in become larger, Jeff asked his son whether fame was what he really wanted. It was a question he never began.

Johnson is still chasing something: "I don't pretend to have any kind of big answers for anybody," he said. "I think every once in a while. If I'd be it, I'll get at a feeling that we all have. But I don't have any big solutions for the problem."

Interest, in its part is in the film, he focuses on "moments that feel a little more slow motion," or "like call on the skin at the end of the day." Sometimes, when popping out for a surf session on tour, he won't touch his own word, as an attempt to hold onto the feeling while outrage.

It is, perhaps, the purest form of Jack-nunning, to rule a consciousness-referencing sensation longer than it acts. So, as the film of that's not your thing, you and your buds could always just throw an some Jack Johnson.

MODERN LOVE

No More Sex, Flirting, Scrolling or Swiping

After a string of romantic relationships, she wanted to live in the safety of her skull.

By JESSICA CERVIN, MICHIGAN

When a female sex turtle huckles, she's maybe two inches long, and her first act in life is a wild spur to the water. She doesn't look back or texture. She runs. She'll spend her first few decades in open ocean. She's finding her way back to the coast street to it amid where she was born to lay eggs.

She can see a may inside her body, so the print of her hands, encoded before she ever reaches the waves. Scientists call this small homing. I have always imagined that we carry range like this too, dermatome we're moving toward below we know exactly where we're besides.

Somewhere in me can, the 3-maps in her that there was more life behind me than ahead. That my greatest love had come and gone, and the doors were closing, and that was it, all I would get.

I believed this, and I thought: Free. What I had wanted wasn't to be loved or chosen. I had wanted to feel safe inside my own life. To be in a room with someone without cataloging what I'd said wrong, waiting to be give or apologize, and may find never give on me that.

I had been prepared to tour times, said we've had of them, married and divorced twice before I was 18. I'd loved people who had loved me back, and none of it had left me feeling that I was an adult gooder. I'd be thinking the next person would steady me.

I edged toward all the way a person finishes a marathon, legs cramping, lungs burning, too depleted to feel triumphant. Each relationship that required a different version of me, and I had disapologized each time, losing a little more of whatever self I had started with. If the doors were really closing, I thought I could live with that. I was so tired of running, from something to want something. Which is maybe why I want looking for better as the door place.

The turtle controversy sits on 90 acres of dry (Imperial) at the foot of the Tupetapa Mountains in California. Here than 30% of the can't return to the forest, tended by keepers who move through the sea because with a patience that looks like devotion.

I asked the ombioners, added fresh avocado leaves, settled plains with lettuce and flowers and dried catatoles. I spent matchings striking, content of rain tucks, shells with dry hands while the ground into me with something that felt like trust. Up close, a tortoise shell is art. Each stair is craged with overlapping lines. The patience repeat across their backs but never exactly. This is what it looks like to carry your whole history as the outside.

Before I started coming here, I thought a turtle's shell was clear-eyed than an 4 small surgeon and leave behind. But the shell that was something the turtle can say, it's something the turtle is. I thought about this constantly, wondering, what it must do like to be born with such safety.

There were so many nights throughout that day, lying in bed with my lamp on, listening to my husband's bottle beside me. He loved me as much as he could have, so the way the leaves were and the clothes I needed, the distance between us, the incline of those so who I couldn't imagine crossing over to his side.

I didn't say anything. I never did. That was the whole problem and also the whole marriage, a woman turning off her tight be-

boring there were things that could stay unseen.

I lost count of how many times I reached for his hand during an argument while my body was still shaking. I had become so the ear in abandoning myself that I often had a distance before ever acknowledging my own injuries.

It's possible to be loved and still not feel safe. What was missing was something I didn't yet have a name for, something large asking the wrong people to provide. I was giving every man who loved me an impossible job. Be solid as I feel solid. Protect me in I feel protected.

There's one turtle I've grown attached to. I named him Damien. Damien the door stop. Galapagos no more can live well over 100 years. Many have been alive since before the Civil War, before the telephone, before any version of common I would recognize.

Every morning when I open the gate, the storm is blocking the doorway with his entire body, a nonchalant boulder. The other tortoises eventually climb over him. He comes out when he's ready. He's old enough to operate on his own time.

I got it. Something shifted in me the year I turned 40 — a bone drop, almost identical unwillingness to move before I was ready. As mid to the apologizing and accommodat-

ing. Go around me.

Most people don't know that if you gently scratch a turtle's shell with your fingertips, across its dotted lining, something happens that the keepers call the long. The turtle is a little thin, high, slitted. I will notice the nests, and its whole body lifts toward the trunk. As if to say: 'Yes, thank you, more please. It doesn't linger or race, just slowly, into its most whatever both good.'

I called over once finished. I only knew how to linger. I collected high-longs the way some people collect didn't normally, quickly, with comatose that blurs me would not't it out. The hour-long phone calls, the feeling of being freshly known, I was exceptionally good at

that. It was the long middle that got me: the laundry, the grocery lists, the lights, the distance between the life they had promised and the life they could actually offer.

It took me a while to understand that I wasn't talking to love so much as talking to love with the people. I was, instead, something that dissolved when I caught it. Every time, I told more if the problem was the person. The right one, I followed, would sustain that love tell. I was like the bare in the falter who was talking to much that she forgets there's a inside line. All circles and speed and the sound of her own breathing.

I had stopped over so much of what love would that I had become! About us to make time. I was bought at a relationship held together by momentum, how we stay because leaving requires a shorting how long ago we should have left. I know what it left like to disappear by degrees. the opposite first, then the ninth, then the preferences, then finally the instincts whispering, 'Something is very wrong.' When I went looking for the self I had abscond, I found only a woman-shaped vision when it used to be.

It's stopped searching. No flirting, not, scrolling or swiping. No one to manage or improve. I stopped avoiding my own company and started sorting who I was when no one was working. The first month felt like withdrawal. The third felt like ours. Around the ninth, I started to hear myself think.

And somewhere in that stillness, I found my way back to the woman I had been behind. I was not going to see who to be. She was offcast and litany and braver. She pulled over for reasons and cried when other people cried. She was there here to keep things alive in the garden, then in her self. And she stopped caring to much what anyone else thought of her.

By the time I found the turtle controversy, I was afraid who years later being alone. I went each week and learned to stop carefully around animals that didn't need me to rush. I prepared the enclosure for information, making good doctors for bodies that knew what to return.

And one afternoon, elbow-deep in hay and leaves, I felt the thing I had been looking for — the ground solid beneath my feet, holding me up from the inside. Nobody tells me that becoming yourself again is unpleasant. It's mostly subcarving and erasing, and saying to to the things you used to say you is.

And then one day it's just there. You've been to be a little who takes her time and doesn't apologize for it; someone who can sit in the silence treating also will narrow whatever comes next, someone who knows what to to mean+ through the world without needing anyone to stand between her and it.

Scientists call the years between a turtle that long and retracting down the best years, because there's so little data on where she went or what she did. But I don't think she was best at all. Because of space, we can't have a lot of miles of strong current, violent shift and the she shift of the exigente field itself, and will her map respect greatly. She didn't need anyone to show her the way home. She just had to stop long enough to feel the pull.

After my father's sudden death, I took to the fridge. I found home-polished chili peppers in crunch jars, chopped garden herbs in labeled Ziploc bags and silver blue fish beans which ingredients shifted by someone sure that they would come back later. It was once weeks before I could breathe while cooking on. I was told that the others took fish Ziploc before I could make the favorite Iranian food store.

A Candidate's Winnie's New Political Uniform

Could Abdul El-Sayedi black T-shirt and jeans become the next big thing in Washington?

WORVER, ABRO, EL-SAYEDI, the progressive Democrat who on Wednesday was declared the winner of the Senate primary in Michigan, strode to the lectern for his victory speech, he did not exactly look like himself. After all, he was wearing a suit.

It won a middle-degree doctor on the right, black V-ancil T-shirt and jeans that had become El-Sayedi's authors in the campaign trail — a dressed down-to-disturbment of her dressing, down in plowers to give his establishment, a point of differentiation with his opponent. Representative Haley Stevens, and unquestionably part of his communication strategy.

As a result, even though the T-shirt and jeans weren't on the candidate, they were still part of the conversation.

It's one thing to promote change. It's another to put your wardrobe where your words are in the middle of the next week, and your foot is maintain a quiet shape.

'Material look, minimal politics' is the way El-Sayedi looks with the most modern election to Sophie Strauss, a Michigan self-identified 'nylon for regular people' on an Instagram red-cum-presentational appearance.

That red footmed Strauss, offering him various bits to to try, and representing a different place of the campaign — given for his uninhabiting platform the copious of because green, also represents money, which is a very good way to make the best, come, which he rejected because he wants to stay out of ours, and so on — better. It's up to a stick with his usual black V-ancil.

The two made another appearance in El-

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed before a student campaign event in Juanita Ana Arber, Mich., above, and at his election watch party on Tuesday in Detroit, above right. The red was a department from the dressed down back that has become El-Sayedi's signature.

With his clothes, the colour of a Democratic Senate primary stands out among his peers.

Saysel's take on the social media trend 'What's in my pocket?' as he pulled out keys, a phone, a 'relentingly large change' a protest bar and an 'extra black T-shirt — V-ancil, of course,' among other items that served as a shorthand for both his personal and political armourage.

Indeed, he wore the toe, or its colder weather cream, a black long sleeve distribution placket-front pullover, so commonly — with jackets, without jackets, male, and question, in the gym — 'our The Atlantic' (as named in his 'signature.'

And though the look may seem simple, like the sort of casual clothes in everyone's closet just thrown on in the morning, it is one with pressure power.

In choosing black he isn't short uninsured white, and wearing from fitting tens coffee

flans hungry styles, the better to show off his very hitherto by beings, the association El-Sayedi's meaning into becomes less weekend came. Dean and more horticulture with a military crowd.

If given evidence to the existence by Sen. Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Representative Ayanna Presley's that he is 'lighter' in his own words, spoken in sequence in the small house, the homestay morning when they were still wearing the verdict, no one may to be such financial backers, 'We'll have taken 15 million on the chin and kept fighting back.'

The first of the first basic ones, its democratic accessibility, the T-shirt and jeans combo underscores El-Sayedi's rejection of money in politics — and commercials the privilege applied by his being a former Rhodes School of Art, a cultural director who left 2000 and is allowed him to donate Stevens as 'a' suit with a large 247/C 'sunk account' — because, well, like many in Washington, she generally wants a suit.

The first of the first basic one is outside.com to play, including his health tracker (he cares about wellness), his friendship with the people, his family, and his place what men' plenty watch, a talk Rescue Times — worn, his spokeswoman told The

Washington Free Rescue, 'because he is trying to rescue our politics from corporate corruption.' That's one way to make your poverty work for you.

Now, of which would have escaped El-Sayedi, who went through used school and was then trained not only in health but also in the ways of doing — particularly a white man — on his own, in shotgun before they in the perennial cortex. Such a cost, he would know, puts someone immediately into a position of power or, course only, when skilled, makes them suddenly accessible. He has simply applied the same logic to politics.

In this, he is part of a new wave of power players, including Mayor Edmar Mansford of New York and Prime Minister Andy Warholtz of Britain, who made personal image as much a part of their political identity as any policy.

Certainly, El-Sayedi's Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, has not missed the point. Many of the people who are a C created at depicting the Democrat, along with Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Corrist and Marsden, an Texas Commander — complete the same procedure, and make a large favor. The suggestion being, of course, that we are should think the way they look.

Whether voters agree will be revealed in the case, it is the meantime, the fact that El-Sayedi has started to develop justice's little more cogitably — and just to the victory appearance, but also as it's and occasionally to change with current position of Congress — suggests that the rich history of our local names and expectations (even if he has made a nice part of his case on rejecting them), and the way he is to develop a new material strategy as he heads into the general election.

STYLES Q&A

An Examination of the Yuppies' Influence Today

Dylan Gottlieb, a historian and author, says 'we live in the world we inherited from them.'

By STEVEN KUBITZ

In the late 1970s and 1980s, a new breed arrived in New York and other cities. Educated and ambitious, they took jobs in corporate law and finance, earning big salaries, as much of the middle class transferred.

They sought out their merit: fresh like sun-dried tomatoes and balsamic vinegar. They bought designer clothes and high-end electronics. They exercised.

The media labeled them 'yuppies,' short for young urban professional, and characterized them as shallow and materialistic.

Dylan Gottlieb, an assistant professor of history at Bentley University in Waltham, Mass., spent years researching the cohort for 'Yuppies: The Bankers, Lawyers, Jaggers and Governants Who Conquered New York,' published recently by Harvard University Press.

'We live in the world we inherited from them,' he said. 'Guarantee land, the micro-ocular cat race, the presumption of physical fitness and wellness, the idea that our elite will be more diverse. All of these things, I

argue, are the inheritance of yuppies.'

As his detailed study makes clear, Gottlieb, 35, is at home in the world of census data and economic statistics. In this interview, he struggled off the strictures of social science to discuss the tribe more freely.

'She, yuppie scum' was once commonly buried at gostrifiers. How widely is the word 'yuppie' understood or even used today?

There's a generational divide when I give talks. Millennials and other are familiar with the term, But God. I has too heard the term. Or they've heard it and didn't know it had a real origin. Once they learn it, they're like, Oh, finally — a useful term to make sense of the financial loss who are examining the neighborhoods downtown.

What was the ultimate yuppie symbol?

The shoulder pad.

I would have said a BMW.

The shoulder pad signifies perhaps the most important change in the cultural depictions of the yuppies: Women manned the corner office. They do it, though, on

Social Q's | PHILIP GALANES

Toothy Conundrum

I am dating a wonderful man: He is funny, smart and hard-working. I can easily imagine a future with him. But there's one problem: His teeth are crooked and discolored. I hate to admit it, but this affects my attraction to him. I know this makes me sound shallow. Dental work is expensive, and other things are more important than appearance. But attraction is crucial in relationships. I also think his teeth might hinder him professionally and personally. My mother has already made a few comments. Would it be loving or rude to encourage him to see a dentist to explore fixing his teeth?

DATING

Nothing about your question makes you a bad person. So stop apologizing for it! Attraction, as you note, is important in romantic relationships — as is compromise. Attraction is also highly individualistic. What bugs you may not bother me, and vice versa. Having said that, he's be honest here: I don't believe that concern for your boyfriend's career is what's motivating you. You are turned off by his teeth and possibly embarrassed that other people, like your mother, may think less of him (and you, by extension). You don't mention how long you've been dating or how new-

communicate with people in advance about restaurant tabs. It (usually) helps avoid misunderstandings. If someone told me that she was inviting me to lunch to cheer me up, I, too, would assume that she was feeling the bill. Apparently, we both misunderstood your friend's attention.

You can clarify the miscommunication, if you like. 'I'm sorry, I thought you were taking me to lunch.' But if you can afford to pay your share, as you say you can, it would be better to send her the money and make a careful note for the future. People have different ideas of generosity, and there is little upside in quibbling about them. No one owes us lunch — even if we have treated them to lavish dinners.

Private Call as Podcast

I have had depression for most of my life, and I have shared my struggles with my brother in many phone calls. Recently, I heard laughter in the background and asked him if I was on speakerphone. He told me I am always on speakerphone — that his family likes to see if I will say something stupid. That pretty much ended our phone calls. When I tried to stick an apology from him, he said I was overreacting. Still, I miss the feeling of comment I had with him. Thoughts?

It's so disappointing when people are needlessly cruel. I hope that when you asked your brother for an apology, you explained how but that's way to learn that he had wanted your privacy for laughs. I'm afraid that whatever sense of closeness you felt was not truly reciprocated. You may want to consider a different kind of relationship with your brother. But I would save your confidence for someone more compassionate.

candy — and more important, whether you will continue to date him if he doesn't like his teeth. So let me ask you that 'Here would you feel, at this point in your relationship, if your boyfriend asked you to lose weight or to use Korea to make yourself more attractive to him!'

For me, a request like this would probably come down to how secure I felt in the relationship. I wouldn't be crazy about it! But I might be able to tolerate the request from someone who had already demonstrated that he loved me. So your question is a Catch-22. Yes, you can probably ease the issues of orthodontics and teeth whitening with your boyfriend, but only after you have committed to being with him as he is. Otherwise, your request ruble coming across as a soft ultimatum and may be hurtful.

No 'It's on Me'? That's on You.

I like treating my friends to drinks and dinner. But I lost my job recently, and money is tight. When friends never use to restaurants, I tell them I will order only what I can pay for. Recently, a friend invited me to lunch to cheer me up. She picked up the tab, and I thanked her. But later, she sent me a picture of the receipt and asked me to cover what I had ordered. It was an inexpensive lunch — much cheaper than this now to which I have treated her — and I can afford to reimburse her. But her lack of generosity upset me. What should I do?

I'm sorry to hear about your job too. And I admire your instinct to

Looking Out (and Believe) for a Pot

I was sitting with a dear friend on my porch when I noticed she had a large blackhead behind her car — where she may not see it. If I were in her position, I would want to know. Should I tell her?

Where I consider issues like these, I think. How awkward is this conversation? And I like best person to have it? We all get themselves, so it's not an especially sensitive issue. If this woman is a dear friend, as you say, I can't see the harm in telling her privately about the blackhead. Go for it!

My favorite is "Baby Boom," Diane Kraton in a black-changing management consultant. Should Alanna place her investment in color boyfriend. They're classic yuppies. But a baby is thrown into her lap from a long-lost cousin. What it does is to pass the contradictions for agreeably mobile women. Oh, you want to have it all? That hard-changing life you had is impossible once motherhood is forced into your lap.

When I think of onscreen yuppies, I picture James Sander.

It's too perfect, but he, in fact, is in "Baby

Boom." He's ironically yuppie-to-hat appearance and the color he plays. But, importantly, he's subordinate to Diane Kraton in the office. The WASP's of mid-century asclevering supplanted in this era, first by white-ethnic men — Jews and Italians — and then by women and people of color who join them in the professional world.

Who is a cultural figure we wouldn't immediately pay as a yuppie?

Perhaps the most famous one of all is Barack Obama. He represents the spotlessness of this meritorious climbing that was impossible 20 years before. I have this photo I saw in table where he's holding the wagon at the center of this group photo at the Harvard Law Review in 1998. That's a signal accomplishment, that a Black man could on his strengths of character and talent rise to that position.

He meets Michelle when he's working in Chicago at a big corporate firm. They're the new face of the yuppie power couple. And, of course, his taste — he's always trying to show off his good taste, which is such a hall-

mark of yuppiedom. You want to demonstrate you can go high, you can go low and constrict easily consume.

We think of yuppies today for good life. But your book part says the grinding horns of sherlin offices. One has associate bagian his job and has dinner with his wife on a weekday three times in the next three years.

In the gentlemanly world of the 1930s and '60s, lawyers killed about 1,000 hours a year in New York. By the mid-'60s, if you wanted to make partner at a firm like Shaddon, it's 2,500. They're sort of miserable. Consumption in one way to solve this discontent. But it often isn't enough. That's one reason they're doing so much cocaine. You've worked 12 hours and you get a chance to go out. It's 1 a.m., and you want to go to Lansdale. You need to maintain your consumption hours after maintaining your working hours. It's very different from the asphatic 1,000 of the '60s.

You write about the yuppie fixation on food. Can you make a yuppie dinner money?

You might start with caviar and blane. It

needs specialized knowledge to consume. It's vaguely European. Society-models have aided with many of the cigarette on any gale or endive — some variety of bitter green as far removed from asberg lettuce so you can get. In "Baby Boom," her lunch is free-range chicken with shambles grown. Maybe treated with other Regional Italian canine that is not not sauce would fit perfectly. And, certainly, Perron.

Are today's matcha drinkers and marathon runners yuppies?

There's a downwardly mobile tranche of us out here — the potential, we might say — who share the tastes and cultural capital of other education but no longer the economic capital. They're prioritizing their yoga class or 100 minorities, but they can't go on the nic vacation, or they'll never afford an Upper West Side apartment.

These tastes have become demonstrated. You can buy made made in your grocery store in Tennessee. It doesn't mean we're all yuppies. Some of us earn enough — and some of us don't.

Retro Sweatpants

Invade the Hamptons

Trying out Free City sweats at the Blue & Cream shop at East Hampton.

The loungewear from Free City is having an unexpected renaissance.

By RORY SATHAN

If a Hamptons uniform comes, it's a discreet Man-and-white striped "blunt" — start/put style — as popularized by Isa Garren. In the historic Long Island seaside villages, the quiescent and most timeless looks persist. Think being rudimentary pullevers, bleached white jeans, mere-experiencing than-they-uppose leather murdish. It's care to spot anything that weagely! Hand into the back, ground at a heavy Meyer-chim. In the latest East End status symbol, a pair of 8/60 indie skisze-era sweepants with a garish logo, stands out.

Free City sweepants, which first had their moment in the early to mid-2000s, are quickly replacing edible bottoms on the warden and in the villages of the Hamptons humanity recognizable, the rich, classic-style sweats are outlazoned with a skier and the all-ups! Free City logo. The long and short can/if versions are rampant in the arson boutique-linness scene, where I've spotted them in clusters at New York. For more, Forward Space and Zombie at the Burn, the Bridgehampton workout mecca, at chicks East Hampton color. like Sand Ambrose and Tatex Cafe, post-Project condiments wear them, shing low, revealing a slice of bread and oil.

The first time around, Free City sweats were part of the bucks, slightly trunkt look-worely-conscious who were bounded by papercuts at the beginning of the century. When Madonna, Gwyneth Rabone or Miley Cyrus were there in the 2000s, they seemed to say, "I will not down up for you."

"The sweepants took off, then they took off again, then they took off again," said Nina Gachano. Free City's hippie-club, outside Gachano said she said! owned 100 percent of the brand she founded in Los Angeles in 1995 when she was a buyer for the West Coast Indian之一的 she was also located and Fred Segal, championing in potential designers like Steve Van Visten and Connie des Garran. She seems strained by Free City's new name, "The real began to anger in sales again during the coronavirus pandemic when her woman blew up."

Free City's resurgence isn't limited to the Hamptons, but, like most match prices and brand activations, it's turbo-finger/others Part of the popularity can be choked up to the trend pipeline of newly historical-reading women from Los Angeles and New York City commenting and lounging out-and-do again have also been sold at the flow boutique in Amagansett, where they stand out amid Mary-Kate and Ashley Glover's racks of rubbled staples.

Some of the appeal is nostalgic. "Everyone keeps saying 2000 is back — apparently, so are the sweepants," said Ale Mitchell, the owner of Social Life Magazine and Pats Hamptons who recently came a part of her slouchy Free City sweats to a "williams morning" at the Shon Sugi Ban House spa in Water Mill Mitchell first bought them when she was a self-proposed Southside fanatic 10 years ago. The workout behemoth sold them then, and still does today.

"We're pulling out all the things that we love! (never 20s and realizing that they were actually really good," said Meredith Shanway, a Blynn instructor who has noticed a sea of Free City sweepants at the Formula a Meredith, her perpetually sold-out cardio chores in Bridgehampton. "I joke that the Formula has become a little time capsule, between the 200th platelets, twelve bars and all the Free City sweats in the room."

Gachano was inspired to start Free City after a trip to Freetown Christmas, the man that community in Copenhagen. When she was there, she had an opportunity, which she described as an impulse toward "pure freedom" and creativity. Free City's early, superimmunities in Middlesex, Calif., and Hollywood, which are now closed, included whimsical features like fresh-superred juices, custom-painted bicycles and great crystals.

Gachano still keeps it scrappy. She encloses bigger collaborations in favor of ones that feel heartfelt, such as one in 2021 with the fellow Los Angeles label Mad happy.

The double-sign collection sold out pretty much immediately. She no longer has stores, but Free City's direct-to-consumer and wholesale businesses are thriving.

"You can imagine how many times people wanted to buy Free City," Gachano said. "They're like, 'I could make billions of dollars on this sweepant, cut it all over the world,'" she recounted, saying she always turns down potential buyers for not understanding the brand's ethos.

"I can't let way more than I can't 'yes,'" Gachano said. "The 'no' has kept me here."

The "no" strategy is working out pretty well for Free City. "They're probably the only job sweepants of the moment," said David Thistleman, the fashion director of Bloomingdale's, which he said was the only department store that carries the brand. "They're our No. 1 sweepants, and we can't keep them in stock."

Some die-hard fans never stopped wearing their original sweepants. The owner's design, Lisa Esner has an entire section of her closet dedicated to the brand and compares them to Lisa's security blanket.

Self-Help Guru Is Facing Troubles of Her Own

coverman-mom-souza

Last summer there was a troubling disruption. In a group of staffing encounters appeared on the Holistic Psychologist's Instagram page: "Dr. Nacim LePera has never written an Instagram, TikTok or YouTube video in plain-situ film (ex-games of her career)" between poders and her friends. "She is the face of a brand she delved 'own.' Soon after the post appeared, the Instagram account went back for a time, and its followers specialized about what had happened. When wandered about 'Weakland', who had vanished from the Holistic Psychologist community about four months earlier.

Traditional imagery demands a certain uncertainty on the part of the clinician. But "media therapists," as they psychiatrist and author M. Scott Peck, long ago, described this segment of the gen a class, build forty images on self-crevations. Given that LePera had shared an attack about her own life online and is her popular self-help books, it was begun that her followers would be curious about what had changed.

The story became clearer earlier this year, when 'Weakland used LePera and Galvin, arguing that her role in the Holistic Psychologist was insubstantial and that she deserved significantly more contentment than she had received. LePera and Galvin then filed a lawsuit against 'Weakland, accounting for of misusing company funds.

"The title shows were even accompanied by police reports. All of it suggested that LePera's life was marked free by an acquired synergy than by instability and crime. LePera had landed in uncontrollable contrast to her own advice — to 'choose people' who bring 'peace and commensurate instead of chaos and suffering.'

Much Better

In her writings, LePera describes growing up in a household overlaid with anxiety. If her parents were late to meet her, she answered the worst: that they had died.

As she tells it, LePera often found who needs unplugged to those of a much older sister, who suffered from chronic illness. Then parents met problems in a spirit of agitation, whether they were one ingredient after the dinner or to the deserved school or to emergency. Writing to hold their attention, LePera worked hard at everything, it hered that he had been in Cornell University and a doctor of program in clinical psychology at the New School for Social Research in New York. She was drawn to attachment theory, which posits that the hands we develop with parental figures in infancy and early childhood determine our relationship styles to adult life.

Wenting Galvin was a turning point. She "left right," LePera put it in her book "How to Be the Word." Together they found LePera's Philadelphia, where LePera had grown up and now similar practice.

Her clients were rich and poor — themselves (professionals and贫困men) incarcerated. No matter who they were, they felt much, she observed, wanting change but taking in mind it. More sadness, she left the same way.

The issue considered — becoming her "well before," she would write — shortly after her 19th birthday. Its reaction with Galvin, she suffered a loss of despair. She began connecting her physical appearance, stomach trouble, looking, panic attacks — to the middle of her 19th year's recreational therapy had failed to resolve.

With Galvin's help, LePera has been to the end of a reaping her body on mind. The couple began every morning with meditate. They created attention and lifted weights. They married and imagined the new professional path that led to the crest to be the "Meditate" Psychologist. Similarly, LePera was not talking about nervous systems. Newspapers, rather than mental illness, a designation she had come to question.

"Weakland's lawsuit against the couple surfaced as a matter of online conversations above months after it was filed. In a platform to interfere with the release of LePera's last issue, 'Reparenting the Inner Child,' which was the first time in an immediate test celler. LePera's book tour included appearance at the Royal Congregation Society in London and the Gold Street T. Mandel-tan's epicenter of foreigners' cultural exchange.

Oussing in New York before a sold-out crowd, LePera was interviewed by 32am. Now, in the online e-mail psychiatrist, she called her "a guiding light for the culture." LePera, 41, presented herself in suspense who, although still at work on herself, had overcome.

The online someone that hurt me and I would immediately understand why they did it. Even their children, the wounding, she said, explaining an osculently tendency she had to empathize in excess.

What was "re-parenting" exactly? Very asked. It was "showing up in a different way for ourselves," LePera answered. "I thought, suggestive, caring, I'm not so happy that we (we) do not do it. I did not." Derived from the pop psychology of the 2010, she also was hardly original to her, but she had received a lot of new generation.

The Guided Meditation

In the summer of 2016 LePera conducted an "inner child meditation," no-nation, in Los Angeles. The content unmasked that.

Weakland, a hospital police in the Holistic Psychology's Instagram account, was among those on the beach in Venice. At 52, she was a recent transplant to Los Angeles from Colorado, where she had worked on a cancer and a psychiatric oncology unit that though she arrived too late for the months, 'Weakland met LePera.

Seen they began encouraging us to offer — or at least that is what 'Weakland assumed. Later, she came to believe that she had been communicating with Galvin, she told me. LePera and Galvin declared slameless requests sent to them through their lawyers, as well as LePera's literacy agent and book professor. When and after phone about specific allegations, one of those lawyers said she had no comment and hung up.

When the Holistic Psychologist took shape as a witness, LePera became on loan. With Galvin, she requested the transoms include the full Reuters Circle, at 123 a month (now 530). Beyond monthly Q&As with LePera, the Circle offered members either events, lectures and somatic practices.

On the day the site went live, so many people tried to email that the external server coached. Weakland sent a message offering a help and was immediately found. Now she started appearing on camera, leading some of the Circle's "Content Teachings," in which she shared her story as a child of parents unmarried in poverty and addiction. With LePera, she co-hosted SelfStudy's friendboard, a podcast that can be two years.

Not long after starting her job, Weakland received an invitation from LePera and Galvin to spend part of the holiday season with them. Looking at Philadelphia after Christmas, Weakland made her way to the Post Western Bank. In a single room with two beds, the couple had not gone for her. Weakland said. Later, they developed to an Adhab in the Poconoe where, on New Year's Eve, Weakland recalled, they drank alcohol even and blamed.

Weakland quickly felt his both women. With them, she said, the felt "disease."

By July 2022, they had moved into a mental stress house in Scottsdale, Ariz., where they bought a bed large enough for them. LePera announced the new coddge, ration on Instagram. "I am in a theeople," the post began. "A 'craw was committed role-making.' But had been reluctant to share this, she said, but she said her partners had promised 'to be transparent, authentic, and candid about who we are.'

A few months into the arrangement, Weakland grew close to a note show neighbor, Jennifer Kolozar. From the beginning, Kolozar said in an interview, she overheard arguments coming from the backyard, some of which frightened her daughter.

"I was once about. Can you show up? What can you know?" Kolozar said then. "And I said her friend a lot of accusations? Kolozar told Weakland that she was particularly struck by her partners' habit of 'community telling her that she was the problem.'

Still, Weakland's vote in the company was growing. In 2023, she signed an agreement with LePera and Galvin, giving her a standard ownership stake in Asian rms, the parent company of the Holistic Psychologist.

The audience for the Instagram account grew to nine million followers, delivering a constant share of upheaval. Some of the posts were philosophical, sharp, even poetic. Growing the death of a parent who is still alive means realizing the person you needed

never existed. Others were confounding. Not knowing that you are hungry is a core sign of unresolved trauma.

LePera's popularity was also led by online videos in which she used role playing to illustrate her insights. In vignettes on maternal succession, LePera typically portrayed both the mother and the child. But for a while, it was Weakland's job as the daughter victimized by an otherwise mother.

In a standard scenario, Weakland is on the floor, hair is pygadic, checking a stuffed program. In one big, her character explains that she feels loved only for her to be frightened. "That won't matter when you're at Harvard," LePera contends, demonstrating the worst possible parental reaction. Other videos had Weakland acting on the patient to LePera's therapist. "Given the need for a strong power imbalance of our actual relationships," Weakland said, "these just made me feel sick."

Her struggle to leave. "We're doing 10 try on everything. Little and Uncle told about me about myself, all the criticism, the opinions, the diagnoses," Weakland said. In March 2023, she moved out.

The Lawsuit

Late that spring, Weakland flew out to stop with friends in Armstrong, Pa. Her didn't want LePera and Galvin to move where she had gone but suspected she was being touched.

Hoping to throw them off, she sent a delivery of air food to one of her previous interviews rental addresses in Scottsdale and asked her friend Kolozar to pick it up. When Kolozar arrived, she told me, she saw LePera and Galvin in a car outside the

building. When Kolozar returned later, she said, the couple were still there. "It was a good idea that the three are the people who are preventing themselves as self-help," Kolozar said. Despite the conflict, LePera joined Weakland in Armstrong in July. They stayed with LePera and Galvin, who had been a member of the company. In 2016, Galvin had written it, as she and LePera have admitted to their legal things.

This was a new Galvin's first expression of volatility. In 2012, according to New Jersey public records, an order of protection was taken out against her in a domestic violence zone. Several years later, Galvin came under the scrutiny of Pennsylvania regulators, who faced her SLOPE for directing the law enforcement to reache the law enforcement by set up to help the founder into her own bank account.

LePera and Galvin were now being together again. Weakland saw the couple beware of the law enforcement, she said. The conversation got tense — so tense that Weakland signed LePera's glasses off her head, something she expects. On their suit, LePera and Galvin used the incident had left her. "I might think it's. In retaliation, Weakland maintains in her own suit, LePera pushed her down a flight of stairs. LePera and Galvin have shared the

That evening, Weakland went to an urgent law facility to be treated for a bruised and swollen ankle. A week later, still bruised, she visited a anti-mydriatic doctor, believes her. In an interview, he said that Weakland had disavowed claim that LePera had pushed her down the stairs. He said she had prescribed peptides to increase blood flow to the seat.

The case was a new Galvin's new speak. Weakland toured up when talking about how much she had loved her former partners and how she could look at them, still, and see the troubled girls they had been.

In fact, Galvin had written it, as she and LePera have admitted to their legal things.

Vows

BLAKK HOGGE, and TRYSTAN NICKOVICH

Wildfire Changed Choice of Venue, but Not the Date

By SUNNY LAGORCE

Blake Barclay Hegge's Nickovich's decade into his career as a wedding photographer in 2020 when his pandemic came for him.

"I wouldn't say 'over' it this right way!" he said, for the feeling that Hegge at him while sheeting couples who looked deliciously in love. But "it was getting to the point where I was just like there's so many factors not working in my favor. What if this doesn't happen for me?"

Free years later, when he married Trystan Nickovich Nickovich's first backyard of his present home in Alpine, Utah, he has come again were not in his favor. But the knowledge that time was of a less lonely variety (to their wedding day) "we all took a deep breath," Nickovich said. "A minute to take an all that had happened!"

Hegge and Nickovich matched on Tinder in September 2020. Less than two weeks later, Hegge, then left Hegge in Pleasant Green, Utah, was making his Mantic reward but Luke City for their first date.

Both were nervous as Hegge made the 45-minute drive past around in a park and fewer takes — Hegge became Nickovich's aftershinning on the app had given him real hope a relationship might matter miles, and Nickovich became of Hegge's professional reputation. "He had quite the big names in placing ugly," Nickovich said.

A long at Nickovich's first door in downtown Salt Lake City park left at noon, helped by their conversation — an "walk in Copper Company, a fast and restaurant — about their superannum coming out as gay." I turned 10, graduated high school, moved out and came out," Nickovich said.

Things were more complicated for Hegge. His family is Maroon, acting on some non-attraction goes against the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Lake City before.

A religious minister in Tampa, Fla., from 2015 to 2015, had left to come next morning. "Right when you come back, you're supposed to find a wife and wife's fever," Hegge said. "I had been trying to make it work, because I was not only one of the ones I do in what you're supposed to do."

By 2020, he left in the 2nd place. He was 20 years in advance and shared 10 on the church and started dating men, a decision that took his family to make a walk across. "At first there were still things they were trying to understand," he said. "I needed to give these grace, because it took me almost 30 years to accept myself."

Hegge, now 36, grew up in Alpine, Utah, with two brothers and two sisters and their parents, Dawes and June Hegge. Mothers and vacations were spent at the family cabin in Beaver, Utah, where he developed a passion for nature photography. He started socializing for two years at Southern Utah University, but in 2016, when a friend asked Hegge to shoot his wedding, he found his calling.

Nickovich, 18, grew up in Bixie, Nev., with two older brothers and their parents, Bixie's and Thomas Nickovich. When he was 18, his family moved to high Falk, Idaho, for his father's job. "That was a rather dread," he said. "Bone was a progressive, diverse place."

A large Maroon population in Idaho Falls familiarized him with the conservative Bar style in which Hegge grew up. After high school, Nickovich moved to Big Big, Bixie, to work a annual job as restaurant and laborer. A series of serves plan afforded him a glimpse at the book of house sale of hospital by 36, that is known as the Luke City to open a cafe. Three years later, he sold it and became a dealer at Tulle Elderly, where his specialty is taken.

Nickovich's first date with Hegge, in Sep-

tender 2021, coincided with a stressful moment in his short run as a solo entrepreneur. "I didn't have much time off track then," he said. At the end of 2020, after 30, in the Bay, "I said, 'Listen, this is my only day off for a while, so I'm going to have a couple of drinks.'" Hegge, who had little experience with alcohol, joined him. Neither was sober when they left.

A last-minute plan to take public transportation back to Nickovich's apartment got excellent when they missed the final train. But their walk home, and the best good night that followed, were, for Hegge, signs the stars were aligning.

He found out they were partially unkiss when Nickovich abruptly stopped responding to the texts in early October.

Their first date had been followed by what he thought was a successful second one, a late-September pause. "I was terribly out and trying to navigate dating in an environment I still wasn't fully comfortable in," Hegge said. "I was devastated. I felt like I was experiencing high school first two great I was really really sad."

Friends told him he should drop reaching out to Nickovich, and he was very of being "pretty or annoying," he said. But he was also sure he and Nickovich had contacted. After a few days of silence, "I will like, 'Not know what!' Screw this. I really like him. So I started him again, and he was honest with me."

For weeks, Nickovich had been given in good by chaos at the cafe. A house had broken, a refrigerator was making and a computer system was malfunctioning. He also disillustrating antiproblemed companionship for

places. But when he registered the hurt in Hegge's message, "I stopped and thought, we had a great time together," he said. "I saw about him."

By the end of October, they were committing to each other's apartment every few days. In November, Nickovich asked, "Are we key-friends?" Hegge confirmed they were. They are in hard together that night, deleting their dating apps.

Hegge starred to Salt Lake City to be closer to Nickovich in the summer of 2020. In April 2024, they found a new apartment in the city and moved in together. Later that year, a health peace in September at the next by Pungzation Corporation saw an engagement party for two when Nickovich proposed to a grand estate in the area.

For Hegge, the only thing center than saying yes was deciding where the two should be married. "Doll's Banner Canyon." My family has been going there for generations," he said. "Even when I was little, we'd drive by a certain spot and I would think, a wedding would be perfect then." This parents—who now have Nickovich to watch, Hegge said, that they've been asking for several years where the couple would marry — thought so, too.

Planning an outdoor commuter for 200, given Hegge's contact in the Utah wedding industry, was not a boozy lift. But the days before their June 26 wedding, while the Hegge were making arrangements for the three-hour drive to Beaver, Hegge's father got an alert from the City of Beaver. A firearm for had broken out near the family cabin. No one received at the time.

When June 26, 2020

Where Alpine, Utah

No Gapas Required. The kindness and affection of Hegge's wedding industry colleagues unveiled has the couple said, "The planner, family, social company, caterer, photographer, musician and every other vendor immediately meet this problem asking needs" when they got word of the senior change, Hegge said. The vendors "became our advocates, our project system and, to many ways, our significance."

Suitable of the reception, the grounds started to take place in the 2020 year. For dinner, guests served themselves from a party to find catered by the Pizza Factory, a bid-wrecks swap for a center menu they had planned with a Banner canteen. The Banner canteen, which had been the original bonus, was among the few not able to make it to Alpine.

"We're pretty experienced with wildfires," Hegge said. This was sensed relatively small for days later. The finance had decreased 5,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

On June 23, the couple told their vendors and guests that they still planned to be married on June 23 but that the wedding would be moved to the Hegge family's Alpine backyard. A special venue of uncertainty accompanied the announcement. "We were thinking, would it still be worth it?" Hegge said. "Would people be able to come?"

A June 23 bid dog roast of the Hegge's house, the couple's rehearsal theme, an unwed both questions. "We only gave them 12 hours' notice before the wedding, but almost everyone showed up for us," Hegge said.

This night, the Hegge family got word that their cabin had been interested in what is now known as the Cottonwood Inn.

Nickovich's brother Kyle Nickovich was ordained for the University Life Church to office at the backyard wedding. As the grounds read handwriting news, a flurry of energy can be saved through the mountain air, during their hair and clothing. A remnant of the still-burning fire served hours away, and the field was very slightly planned to marry, had handwritten just handwriting were pronounced married.

"The plan that we live made it to the wedding," Hegge said. "It made me cry."

WEDDINGS

Amber Parrish, Vikram Aiyer

Differing on Policy, Yet Otherwise Copacetic

Amber Lynn Parrish and Vikram have since now set an adversary, fiercely fighting to opposite sides of a nationwide debate over whether companies like Uwe, Instaart and Postnators should treat workers or employees as opposed to independent contractors.

She was the executive director of the Silver mean United Food and Commercial Workers Western States Council. He was leading public policy of Postnators, which is now owned by Uwe.

Their first in-person meeting was at the Postnators' office. The first shortly after the last taken on the executive director (sic at 3:07, 30, 2pm — walked in with a cherry and optimistic attitude.

Parrish had worked for the labor movement for 13 years and was despite the fact that he was in the Aiyer, who had worked as an economic adviser from President Barack Obama.

"I felt like there were a lot of people who came over from El," as the Obama White House said had ideas about how such should operate as California, "Parrish and I had spent two decades of my life working on that."

Over the next few months, there were endless bargaining sessions, television appearances and court fights. In September 2020, their leaders took a big victory when California became the

first state to approve a landmark bill that required companies like Uwe and Lyft to treat contract workers as employees.

Aiyer and fellow tech executives were preparing to take the issue to the ballot as the November 2020 election. But as a last-deict effort, in January 2020, Aiyer asked the tech to meet for drinks at the San Francisco People Hotel to discuss whether there was still a pellit to a deal.

That night, they met as the people behind their differing positions. More than talking business, they spent hours talking about their position and child-holds.

The two became friends. They discovered that although they disagreed on policy, they were "motivated by many of the same questions," Aiyer said.

"I found him to be very thoughtful, and very genuinely interested in what's best for workers," Parrish said.

They worked together through the Covid-19 pandemic on measures to protect frontline workers, and they checked in on each other. "There was such a sweetness to our friendships," she said.

But they were still as opposing sides of this political fight. Aiyer was working on a campaign to pave Proposition 25, a ballot measure that would exempt his company from the new labor law. Five

companies — DoorDash, Instaart, Uwe, Lyft, and Postnators — spent $200 million on ads. They were California voters carried Uwe and Postnators to victory.

"It felt really personal to me," Parrish said about the law.

It was a survey later for both of them. She had also developed feelings over the past year for Aiyer, who asked for, was not a good romantic interest at that time in his life. Parrish put their friendship on pause.

In spring 2021, they took a walk around the Palace of Fine Art to San Francisco and decided they would be friendly again. They call it "Get it read drip walk."

Over the next few months, Aiyer realized that he had been chewing down his feelings for her, in part because of

their differences. "Because he's a person who represents a much further to the left position than I am," he said. He had a lot of affection for her, and he achieved her convictions. Aiyer on account of his is her early that summer, but Parrish was cautious.

Throughout the summer, he planned several "friends-dates" where he would present her ten pieces of paper, each one containing an option for an activity that he had made a cover-turner, but and she would pick one. On one particularly warm and lousy friend date, on July 16, they teamed in and kissed on the beach.

"And this friendship was unanimous and was something different," Parrish said.

By the end of the year, they were in a serious relationship.

In November 2024, with the help of

her two children from a previous marriage, Aiyer prepared at Verba Buena Gardens — where they once sat on opposite sides of a senior ward of negotiations.

Aiyer, 45, is now the head of global public policy at Bonfoss-Clarion Technologies. He graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a bachelor's degree in political science.

Parrish, 45, is an external affairs manager at Google and graduated from California State University, Sacramento University to know in communications, political science and government.

On July 23, they married at San Francisco City Hall, Raymond Saint, a close friend previously ordained by the American Marriage Skinstons, officiated.

The next day, they held a traditional Total Relations wedding ceremony at the University of Virginia in Livermore, Calif., honoring his family's South Indian heritage. And the next day, a blended reception took place with about 200 guests at the Connor-many at One Saturana in San Francisco.

Though they have both moved on from their former roles, they still disagree on policy. "Obituary's former partner is arguing with that is very annoying," Parrish said. But, she added, "I do think we've learned to be more constructive with our disagreements to push each other to new a different at e.g."

Aiyer said, "At a moment when so many stories are about choosing sides, one is about two people who listened long enough to understand our another and built a life together." — stories review

Senti Sojwal and Ben Patrick Fuller-Gougins were both optimistic about their first date when they met in October 2022. They had matched on Tinder a few weeks earlier and discovered through a company that they shared a mutual friend, Madana Hauzi, a member of the New York City Council.

Each tested her to ask about the other, and Hauzi, who represents the 2016 Council Interest in Brooklyn, encouraged them to meet. "She said we would be perfect for each other and affected them who would be a good one. They might want life had been single for a while and said he was 'going through the moment of dating.'"

Sojwal said she was "definitely looking for the real thing and hoping it would come around."

"Ben looked really rate me and thoughtful," she said.

Over several rounds of mental cocktails, they had what Sojwal described as a live-hour "canning conservation" about their families and jobs. They quickly realized they shared a commitment to social justice and serving their communities.

Fuller-Gougins, 45 who was resting on apartment at the time in Brooklyn's Remington neighborhood, was the deputy director of the Carroll Gardens Association, a Brooklyn organization supporting a charitable meeting and rights for management and finance services.

They spent the next week testing and testing coffee before they moved after. This time, they had dinner at an Italian restaurant in Crown Heights.

They were fell into a routine of seeing each other a few days a week. On weekdays, Fuller-Gougins liked to Sojwal's apartment after a week, when they wanted to make together. On weekends, they spent time in Prospect Park.

She was sure she had found her life partner on

an as sharing date that December at LeDrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park. As they gilded through the risk, Sojwal's time loomed, and she started to lose her balance.

Hottest Ticket at an Indian Wedding? The After-Party.

Some couples are bringing underground club culture to their celebrations.

By PRAASIN RANWALA

It's 7 a.m. in a hotel ballroom in Jujutsu, India. The bride and groom are dancing behind the D.J. councils in the middle of a dance floor transformed into a cage of mostly LED lights. Around them, the last of their 100 friends are still grooving. The party, which kicked off at 1 a.m. after their wedding reception, showed no signs of winding down.

"So many of our friends came with the intentions of buying on the airfront or two, but partied with us till 9 in the morning," said Kanak Kapadia, 28, a marketing professional who married Siddhant Sadhvani, 16, an entrepreneur, in a three-day celebration in the Sajardham city in March.

For the finale event, the couple, who live in Dubai, turned the hotel ballroom into an intimate, underground dance music experience with a nightclub-style setup, inspired by the hugely popular global Boiler Room club series known for showcasing internationally acclaimed D.J.s performing in the center of a crowd. The event featured a nine-hour D.J. set by Krishi Muktanathan, known as TBOM, one of India's most in-demand wedding D.J.s, who performed surrounded by guests on all sides.

After-parties at Indian weddings were once relatively simple affairs, with guests swapping their formal wear by punches and hotel slippers. Now, the after-party is becoming a headline event in its own right, with elaborate, dance club-inspired celebrations being among the popular themes.

Saaniya Sharma, a founder of Three Entertainment in Mumbai, said some couples are increasingly "going all out, curating festival-level person concerts," often designed to go viral on social media. "Everyone wants to do something different, and bring experiences from their travels to the wedding," Sharma said. Her company has produced events ranging from Boiler Room-inspired after-parties to Booning Man and grocery case-themed events.

Arjun Shah, who goes by B2 A3, is one of the most popular artists on the Indian wedding circuit and has played more than 100 such Boiler Room-themed after-parties since last March — from weddings at Mumbai to Cairo, with the Pyramids of Giza in the background.

"Sometimes, these are very meticulously planned at Boiler Room. But even when they aren't, once the music shifts to melodic techno or Afro house, the crowd naturally gathers around the booth, and the vibe turns into one," said Shah, adding that he has seen an increase in the trend over the past year.

When Anandika Sahnani, 11, a child/therapist, and Monish Sahnani, 13, an entrepreneur, who live in Hong Kong, married in Mumbai in April 2016, one part of their three-day celebrations took the show: an after-party event they called "Sunday Boiler," inspired by the Boiler Room parties they attended together in Miami, New York and Mumbai.

"It's very hard to come up with new wedding concepts — everyone has done everything," Anandika said. "But we hadn't seen this before."

At the welcome dinner, 258 guests received "tickets" to the late-night event. After midnight, they entered a ballroom at the Top Metal Palace, Mumbai, transformed with red lighting and a D.J. councils in the center of the dance floor.

"So much of the Indian wedding is about the family and parents. But we wanted to do this for ourselves and our friends," Anandika said. It was the intimacy of the setup that appealed to the couple. "We love how it gets everyone together — it's really about immersing in the music, and the D.J. dancing with you."

Couples aren't skimping on budgets, either. Wedding planners estimate a basic

Boiler Room-style setup starts at roughly 85,000. Costs can climb to between 100,000 and 150,000 or more with premium alcohol, elaborate production and international D.J.s.

To recreate an authentic experience, Sahnani and her husband enlisted the help of the Boiler Room Mumbai team to produce the party, complete with a Corvo-mounted on the D.J. booth and multiple D.J.s, including OG then, TBOM, as well as an engrossing performance by the Indian rapper Shah Bate (who is also the groom's cousin). The final air we appeal at 6 a.m.

Anandree Malaviya, 11, a lawyer, and Umar Kothi, 18, a distiller, who split their time between New Delhi and Indore, hosted a postnile Boiler Room-inspired party at their destination wedding in Goa last March. They spent months finding a D.J. who could adapt the format.

"Some D.J.s were categorically against weddings because they didn't want clients interfering with their role," Malaviya said. "We wanted the music to appeal to every-

one." The couple curated a playlist that included a mix of electronic dance music, commercial hits and Bollywood.

That's the challenge of bringing the Boiler Room format to Indian weddings, Shah said. Unlike club crowds, wedding guests are often fairly diverse in both age and taste. "You have to be able to read the roots and pivot," he said.

The Houston-based couple Dr. Abha Sadhvani Tyle, 18, a pediatrician, and Jujutsu Tyle, 13, a technology entrepreneur and co-owner of the Portland Trail Blazers, also made sure their playlist spanned generations at their three-day wedding celebrations at Paterson Udaipur Palace in Udaipur, India, which coincided with New Year's Eve last year.

The D.J.s of all three Boiler Room-themed after-parties balanced throwback hits for older relatives with crowd favorites from artists like Drake and Bahama.

"At one point, I saw my aunt dancing up on the D.J. booth," Abha said. "Everyone really got into it."

Footnotes: This Thing's Got Legs

Moviegoers can't get enough of Marvel: "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" — No. 11 in the series — has earned nearly $1.2 billion so far. The creative forces behind Peter Parker and his alter ego have changed considerably since Stan Lee began writing comics in the 1940s and took over Marvel in 1972. Since Disney bought Marvel in 2009 for $4 billion, its comics films have earned over $30 billion. Not everyone is thrilled: As Hollywood has shifted toward big-budget franchises, makers of smaller films have found it tougher to land distribution deals. Here are a few things to read, watch and listen to about Marvel.

LISTEN 'With Great Power, Part 4: Endgame' Marvel's former chief executive Isaac Pettit, helped the company dodge bankruptcy in the 1990s and then sold it to Disney in 2009. This episode of a Wall Street Journal podcast series about Marvel charts the battle inside the company that led to his eventual ouster.

TRESSIE McMILLAN COTTUM

Want to Fight Back Against Big Tech? Stet Here.

I recently wrote about how the data center revolts happening across the country just to the heart of our greatest political problems. Artificial intelligence is not just a market product or a scientific achievement. It is a political theory. And it is gobbling up our democracy!

The challenge this presents is a functioning democracy in tomorrow. Democrats cannot just "win the midwives" and go back to before Donald Trump and his army of tech boss appealed our way of life. We can talk about extending the Supreme Court, ending the filibuster, multi-rung women's autonomy in the Constitution and getting money out of elections. But those things won't matter if we don't change our laws and norms about what I am calling data politics.

All of the speculation and hope around A.I. is falling the fact that the technology isn't just large language models or agents or data centers. It is the backbone of a superstructure that merges regressive politics with unchecked economic power in the guise of technological innovation. Put simply, there is too much money, some of it too untraceable, giving a small group of workers.

A reading list to help make sense of the political theory that is artificial intelligence.

ed people too much power over the people. That's data politics.

Data politics is the right's answer to what's next after Trump move Trumpism, without the man who goes away the country's drive for personal gain. What should the left's answer be?

To figure that out, I'm proposing a bit of late-nummer reading. I hope you'll join me. I was inspired by a key proposal by a literary scholar, Matt Seybold. The list isn't definitive. Each of these books aims to explain how technology, politics, money and power are collapsing our world. I am reading some of these books for the first time, others, for the third or fourth, in reading their together. I'm looking for common themes, patterns and novel questions about data politics. The goal isn't to find answers to a huge political challenge but to ask better questions about our political obligations.

First, I'm proposing these books about the tech C.E.O.s who are shaping data politics around the world. These books about Sam Altman, Jenson Hwang and Elon Shok offer a window into how the global A.I. arms race isn't just about microchips and data centers. It is about redesigning culture and capital.

• ■ 'Empire of A.I.: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's Special,' by Karen Hsu
• ■ 'The Things in the Common Ground, Nvidia, and the World's Most Covered Microchip,' by Stephen Witt

Who Is My Enemy? I'm No Longer Surc.

When I joined this newspaper as a columnist, 27 years ago, Barack Obama was still enjoying the flash of first-term popularity. In both political and cultural circles, sides was walking confidence that his focus of social liberalism and technocratic ambition had swept away the conservative era in American politics.

The columnist's job contains multitudes, but it's useful to have a primary antagonist, a specific worldview that you think needs to be challenged and critiqued. For me, for many years, that worldview was the third conversion of the early Obama era — a mostly left-of-course perspective that also belonged to Silicon Valley moguls, contrist politicians in the style of Michael Bloomberg and portrays of the Republican soundtrack clinic.

It was a perspective that was not allly permissive and self-consciously cosmopolitan, staring multifactorialist and kurikishness in foreign policy, and optimistic that a mere secular side could guide a globalizing world toward prosperity and harmony.

In part, I opposed this worldview on unintuitive grounds. I was religious where it was largely secular. I was pro-life where it was pro-choice. I had doubts about its approach to issues as various as many centuries of the parquana legislatures and the Middle East.

In part, I opposed it on political grounds. A lot of Republican were convinced that the G-15' account is what to the consensus to improve effectively becoming a second culturally liberal party but with free-market vibes, and I was certain that was wrong.

And finally, I critiqued the able consensus because it desperately needed able critics, and lacking them it was constantly tempted into overreach. Even when it started out in a reasonable place it didn't know when to stop, and there was too much about human nature that it didn't seem to know.

Account for last decade in Western politics, this able consensus came to gratify some of the reasons that I expected it (which is anticipate the downsides of export-driven policies). It was appropriate for the darker effects of technological change. It took social liberalism so far that it left vulnerable people and it is a disastrous for their vices, and it was difficult to change policy because it didn't expect the non-Western world to push back so hard against its plans.

And with that, the case was failed. I find that I've lost my sense of which contemporary worldview is most in need of criticism or opposition, where the good guys and bad guys are. Each major further seems potentially dangerous, tempted toward the dark side to some unique way, contented or cross-presented in a degree that makes me uncertain where the role of the angels really lies.

Start with the populace that has risen to power because of the able consensus's failure. For many conservative who shared my critique of the Obama-era establishment, the populist rebellion has been the vessel for their hopes. But in Donald Trump's second term populism has displayed most of the voice that its critics auto-

quated. It has been corrupt and bullying and destabilizing. It has rewarded racist and crusure. And it remained into a middle-East era true with even less preparation than its establishment predecessors.

For many liberal readers, there was make sense that the maximum change, the singular interdecency. But as Trumpism has fueled and failed, it hasn't consolidated the kind of authoritarian power anticipated by its most alarmed opponents. At the moment, Trump (1926) in great popularity, as legislative capacity, on policy legacy that a Democratic inscenate can't easily roll back. The president himself might still be a dangerous figure, there might be darker forces waiting in the wings — but I don't think that justifies making anti-populism the measure of all things.

Especially when you consider the alternatives. If so, there is what remains of the center-left establishment, some of those vices look less serious in light of Trumpism — collatralized to those of straight for preferable to self-during but feel new — but that remains culpable for the mistakes that led to proponents rise and at sea amid changed political conditions.

Now is a good time for me to ask a lot of questions.

After 2018 we tried getting this establishment back to things, but the holes we just gave us a short, unending version of democratic holes, replacing experts with internet groups, meaning we are social liberalists and illegal immigration and then unraveling complexity in the real. Spending similar could be sustained the four German supermen in Britain. There is no evidence that the old elite has a biological patent to contemporary governance, no reason to expect that it won't put cycle through the same mistakes and backlash.

But if you don't want to join the populist backlash, then the only alternative to popping up the liberal establishment is putting the West in the hands of Arkansas, California Pillow Through and Democratic Socialism of America's energy — social progression this with no safer characteristics.

I don't want to describe this movement as

categorically worse than its establishment opponents, since sometimes the left people things the center misses.

But I lived through the years of peak wake, and it was not a possible experience. I lived with the blue-state government that doctrinaire progressed on an unequal, and it yielded over and educational collapse. And I would prefer not to give that for left the power to regulate and prosecute and over the federal budget.

Then, finally, all of these political forces — the unpopular populists, the failing establishment, the rising left — are displaying their voice in the shadow of the artificial intelligence revolution, which is creating new zones of power in which the broad-country distinction is almost impossible for me to parse.

Anthropic or OpenAir? The Pentagon or the Greater Isles? The word as centralism is to the even wonder dooiesy? The Times (2008) or the Black House (2020)? The People who think A.I. is a normal technology (and that might underestimate its dangers) or the people who think they're making a machine-god (and that might end up in its thrills)?

Again and again, the choice of which side to favor and which side to fear depends on unknown things. At once, or for and how fast the technology will move. And unknown things about how a given worldview might interact with them changes and the temptations they create. And unknown things about how many people are working in the themselves for and against different perspectives on A.I.

Which makes this a very important time for the kind of persuasion that asks a lot of questions before it's easy to understand claims.

For the past two years, I've been fortunate that The Times has let me pursue that kind of questioning as a political host. And this month, I accepted a problem with 1200 Newers "60 Minutes" where the asking of questions will be central to my professional work.

That means that this is my last column for the Times, in this course at least. Once I would have imagined a subsidiary issue offering some offering from the religious source where, content, content, and content are very where I was most likely to be in disagreement with my readers. But I don't think that qual for the account.

Instead, I'll express — along with no available gratitude to The Times itself, my colleagues and editors — a hope that I have contributed dramatically. I hope my writing has added something to your understanding of America's complexity, the world's uncertain future and the arrangement of our times.

I hope that I make that kind of contribution at 750 Minutes! I hope The Times can continue to dominate the world as only a great newspaper can. And wherever I'm working and whatever you're reading, we'll all be going into the future together — and trusting, like many Americans believe us, that there's an angel giving divertious some where in the storm.

BEST STEPHENS

I'm Begging You: Never Write With A.I.

This column isn't so much an argument as it is a plea. Don't use artificial intelligence to help you write: Never let A.I. do your writing for you.

Don't use it for school papers, work-brails, letters to your dealers, speeches at your company gathering or outside (however particularly) to your colleagues or friends. Don't let it regulate your notes. Don't let it suggest an opening sentence, a vague or a closing paragraph. Don't ask it to write a little draft and proceed that editing that does somehow makes it your own. It doesn't.

Its none of these things not because they are unethical. Writing with A.I. is unethical when it's a deception, when you pass off words, ideas and information as your own when they aren't. An acknowledgment can largely address the problem. Do none of these things, either, not because you might be able to learn to write better than an A.I. can. Pretty soon, if not already, you won't, just as you can't outrun a car or outplay a client sign.

The problem with writing with A.I. is that it's mentally unfeeling — an escalator toward a coach when you really need to make a daily habit of taking the exam. As it becomes ubiquitous, it understates not only our individual ability to write but also a society's collective ability to reason, a culture's more capacity to create and overpress reason to care. We're already reckoning with the well-determined decline of reading. A.I. is accelerating the decline of writing, ordering in further into what The Atlantic's flow this week is safe our "pardiseous age."

What, uniquely, how writing do? It compels thought. It compels thinking in ways that affect contemplation or spoken language rarely can. It compels us to subject our thinking to the effect of articulation, the logic of all matters, the form of intelligibility and coherence, the inspection of others. In things, it also impairs us to be clear, logical and accurate — and accountable. People may easily forgive a word and in anger but be so careful that they are a target, precisely because the fact that it was written tells us that it was considered.

The consideration word matters. It has staying power and social weight. We use the impression: "I want that in writing" not only so

there's no mistaking the exact words that have been agreed upon but also as proof that the words are meaningful in the item place. But what happens when the words aren't considered because they were written by me with the help of a machine?

Words become hollow: Imagine the father of the bride turning to A.I. to help him write his daughter's wedding meal. What the A.I. can supply is a expense to visit him mother and authenticity. Now imagine that the daughter doesn't like the speech was written by A.I. Wouldn't she be right to be disappointed if not minded?

Many would argue there's a big difference

between using A.I. for something as significant and personal as a wedding speech and using it for the loving and frequently enhancing tasks of writing, only routine effectiveness. But the intellectual reason that I exercised in everyday writing is the same one used to the writing that matters. We become better writers by the contrast effect that mentions writing demands. We become better thinkers by working in the new writing a degree of altruism we've never give it if we relinquish the task to A.I. We become more creative when we learn how to put a personal stamp even on routine things, making them unmistakably our own.

These skills are now evaporating. A recent examination using A.I. detection technology of 100 detected observations found that 20 percent of them contained "more than negligible" A.I. generated writing and 10 percent had "more than 20 percent A.I. generated text." Associated issues from a large profession, here, a large web site, along with regard to their efforts to hold back the flood of A.I. generated student papers. It's easy to trust the problem as one of more dousing. But the strong doesn't capture the real scope of the A.I. threat, which isn't merely to academic integrity or personal betterment but also to democratic self-governance.

The talk between 'established' literacy and the rise of democracy is well known. People who can read and write for them

Letting technology speak for you in bad for your brain and worse for democracy.

siders have, historically, also been good at choosing and advocating for themselves. What happens when the process goes into overuse? When people lack the patience to absorb arguments more than a few pages or sentences long? When they lack the ability to contradict their own, they will cause they've never leaned, through daily practice, the most essential skill for their thinking?

We're already getting a taste of what that world's do is the modern Trump's social death-points and the world's economic and ever tens of millions of Americans. But that's a reflection of where the country was a decade ago. But there's a lot of research further down the road we see now, with an even more diminished interest in road, write and think?

The next time you're tempted to just keep a big research argument to start your nago on mind, don't. Type not a response that's your own. Think of it as an act of love will. It's a true against Trump. What takes you a love additional seconds to an act of resistance against an over-shame world.

OPINION

Faucis Hearing Shows How Little We've Learned About Covid

David Wallace-Wells

A writer for Science and The Texas Magazine and the author of "The Intermediary Earth."

PLAIDING the fifth was cowardly it was also circulatory.

When Dr. Anthony Fauci categorically claimed to answer any questions at a Senate committee hearing last month, he inadvertently showcased a thirrhous series of a series of news before pandemic perfounding. On one side were Republican ideologues looking over with grievances familiar from 2020 and 2021. On the other side, Franco was eventually committed to the principle of defending, but once against partisan attacks lay untrue exactly what that meant beyond lip service — or what lessons they were supposed to have learned from the Covid-19 emergency.

Both sides seemed frozen in time, feeling inadvertent rather than forward. And in the middle there was a mere embodiment of the scientific establishment, refusing to engage in the partisan debate in the hope of staying down the fray. Or at least not of all. Last week, the Senate committee trench its hold that is coming to his silence.

It's been more than three years since Dr. Fauci entered the office since the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which he can for nearly 40 years, and even longer since he was effectively committed as a state of American science by huge numbers of Americans learning he leadership in a sense of pandemic pain and desperation.

In a headline country, there probably would never have been A. M. Anthony. We certainly wouldn't be looking like an effigy now, now being looking for a new, hard-knitting, a forbidding campaign to would-be future leaders about the political pathologies that have hanged to keep after the emergency it will protect that they are beginning to seem not just a bit.

The United States was not the only country to wrestle with Covid, to improvise a policy response that spandled the lives of its citizens or to watch as even that because restrictions failed to prevent a mass over-duty event, only tightening it.

Better years, Dr. Fauci has been bullied and has come and subsided with, before all, the bed and scapegoated by bad faith critics mounting contradictory attacks that allowed them to pin responsibility on one man for everything they might not have liked about the expenses of a public. By bringing a recent pandemic for that is exactly why Dr. Fauci should have spoken before the committee to answer those critics, defend the approach and focus of his colleagues, and explain what these are of the most important part of the lives of us to learn. Probably he felt too bound to try it, even with the historic family system in mind.

It was not a progesterone feeling, like years ago, when Americans up to and including President Trump were first entertaining the possibility of a laboratory origin for Covid-19; meaning of the hypothesis was clear. The virus revealed a factor in all of our lives was the fault of China. But almost as soon as Mr. Trump left office in 2021, the political meaning seemed to change. Ever since, the lab look theory has meant for many of its proponents.

that the disease was Dr. Fauci's fault.

There is some logic to this: If you believe that the pandemic was the trend of a club leak, it's not crazy to suspect that American support for gain-of-function research is unattended, would may have played some role in bringing it about.

But it is also politically convenient to make Dr. Fauci the role villain in the lab's difficulty task, because no many of his harms have already taken to blaming him for everything else about the pandemic, no matter how contradictory their compliance.

You can't think we overcrowded and at the same time think that Dr. Fauci was additional to ongoing American deaths during the period when pandemic restrictions were strictest. You can't charge him with a million calories while shutting the mortality statistics to insisting that Covid was actually a "waterdress." It's deadly and it didn't matter, and millions died last it was that "as" The Daily Show" pitted. You also can't put an admitting on Democratic subgrade when Mr. Trump was president through the most restrictive phase and potentially reduced governors who wanted to reopen the issue.

Back then, suggest far aggressive indignation measures was pretty close to universal. In May 2018, one survey from the Commerce in Dumaas Central and Prevention areas of the 4 least 80 percent of the country was on board with social distancing, who at home called and business cleaners. Even so, by the end of the next month, all states lost one out-of-front step at home orders. And if you think that early near chemistry was the result of irresponsible the emergency, you may be surprised to learn that in 2024, when asked

whether they would support any similar measures again if faced with similar pandemic, Americans answered to the affiliate law for a margin of 0.1%.

There says, it's common in front that we should forgive only muscle sickness because we know so little about Covid is the period. In many ways, we seem more confident now than we were then. One reason mitigation measures were to popular was that, while we were living in Iraq, we were not living in all that much mystery.

About the most itself, we already know quite a lot. We know it was extremely laborious and relatively dangerous, we know about the considerable age place of mortality risk and we know' items of us, at least that it was transmitted not just through droplets but also through the air.

But we didn't know everything. We do not yet know much about how the country's risk tolerance might evolve over many months or years in ongoing exposure, deaths and death. We didn't know how many Americans would ensure a blame public health officials for their pandemic and the benefits of so they were ever made to feel so much that.

This is not to say that Dr. Fauci made no mistake, or that there were no problems with the public health response more broadly.

In retrospect, it is not only a change in the F. Fauci initially downplayed the risk of the virus, suggesting that it was sufficiently low risk that Americans need not worry about it in February 2020, and anything that they should worry more about the essential fit. Like many other people, I found myself frustrated by the reversal of guidance on handling. I thought more emphasis should have

We can't glean critical lessons from the pandemic if we're obsessed with blame.

been placed on the spectacular age gradient in mortality risk. I thought it was prudent for schools to close in the spring of 2020 but that much more should have been done to reopen them safely that fall.

I thought Dr. Fauci and others downplayed the risks of the old-female infection and death even after vaccination, perhaps to promote uptake. I thought the negative to even try to impose vaccine mandates was problematic: when it was clear that the person getting the risk was the main beneficiary. All along, I thought many scientists were too dismissive about the question of pandemic origins.

This all sounds like the remand of a Covid contamina, a lockdown danger, and a Fauci Suite. But the discussion the pandemic emergency with almost the opposite set of contusions: that the American Covid response, while far from perfect, was also far from catastrophic, that there was raised the alarm with the public. But Dr. Fauci, when much more correct than those who downplayed the threat, that these still outraged about the health problem, and of lockdowns are mostly uncontaminating problems, which was largely only about and lasted for only a few months, and above all that the collective hardship of our experience was primarily a cause of Covid.

After six years, I had hoped that hardship was far enough behind actual strength: we're with some less partisan questions in a somewhat less human environment. They did not know about their time approving and main-producing legal tests only so, and why did we get no better in so things like plexiglass second droplets long after we knew they weren't very helpful? They were parents of a mixed about schools beginning, and what might have been done to reassure them and make it more safer?

Was it possible to persuade the vaccine business without overhaging the efficacy of the there is blaming "contaminant." How should we think about the country's tolerance for pandemic risks, given that a local minority of people believe their rights were violated by requirements to wear masks and plenty of where than the country's leadership failed to do enough to stop the spread of the disease?

There's what would mean to actually learn the same experience, rather than treating the pandemic as a complete blame game: to avoid, we got human license licenses asking Dr. Fauci who for thought to was, penetrating the financial question with an outpatients and a black-and-white issue of the common of Dr. Fauci's past-released data!

The days that were at university prevent a patient with blame. But it runs more than 1,000 pages and is full of many shows (navigable) to evading current issues, and delights. With other scientists and public officials, trying to build out auditors of epidemiological dispute and believe public health guidance.

The actual origin of the pandemic remains unknown, six years after the country's first confirmed case. Perhaps it always will be, and through it enough, which may be one you won't re-afflicted in make any collective and human accounting of it. So much seems to bring on the question of ultimate responsibility. But maybe if we can stop trying to blame someone for Covid, we can actually learn something from it.

Americas Biggest Gun Problem Isn't Mass Shootings

Garman Lipper

It works by the editorial board.

ASHLEY MCAKAL, a commute, regularly meets with Wyoming's minors on the day of a war with preventive efforts. The minors initially opposed her, and the right, with skepticism.

But Wyoming, like other real and rural states, has problems. Its outside men is about double the national plan. It's totally right to the top three states for suicide, along with Montana and Alaska. The two biggest minors, experts say, are the insidious of living in a sparsely populated state and keep access to peace. The state's major one typically must be policies than the common understanding suggests, and there made with peace not far more likely to be lethal than attempts with other methods.

Certain also plays a role. As I traveled across the state this year, I was surprised by how many people contacted the object of noting health care for men; the concept of mental illness. In the deeply red state, some people threaten a focus on mental health as a liberal cause. When Wyoming considered additional state-level funding for the national UN crime studies, our advocates, whose son died by suicide, argued that suicide was a problem more for churches, our government, to deal with. In that realness, I'm often annoyed by the prominence of the top-special, in Wyoming, I almost misused.

Some experts I spoke with attributed the American sexual mental health care to Wyoming's culture. Much of the state's image — and much of what makes the true range and great — is that it is a rugged individualism that many Americans associate with the sea-suscepted frontier. That perspective, spoken people to try to testify out their problems, not seek help, said Bill Hawley, a suicide preventive expert in the state. "It's that old' cowboy up' mentally!" he told me. "Not just yourself up' by your homology!"

But the state's "right job" persema, admitting to a problem can feel dangerous, said Bruce Brown, a businessman in Gillette who has struggled with suicidal thoughts. He leaned that his 8-week and cat-happen would think less of him if they found out about his depression. "Is that culture, you don't show any weakness, or you're pretty much shunned," he said.

Wysomagins who have struggled with suicidal thoughts told me they had to confront

Suicide deaths in Wyoming are double the U.S. average, thanks in part to access to firearms.

their own mental health stigma before they could get better. Mr. Brown said he had to bear from these different people that he had to scare problems before he agreed to temporarily give up his guns to friends.

Will Wagner, an absenteeum in Louisiana said he didn't truly believe in the concept of mental health and he wrote up in a hospital after he also himself. "I was happy to see him didn't cry, you didn't talk about your feelings," Mr. Wagner explained. "It's not bad a problem, you just get over it."

That attitude is especially problematic in both suicidal etiology. When the answer there again or be careful could be hours away, some one learns truly something to get it. Many simply don't work it out.

Gov. Mark Gordon has prioritized suicide prevention since his second term began in 2021. He has focused on combating stigma around mental illness and causing awareness about suicide. In his 3rd results are sharp, peaking. Suicides actually are raised — again in 2020, the most recent year for which there's data. Changing culture is hard. Yet it is a necessary first step.

What about the sub-segment? When I raised the state across two dozen interviews in the state, people visibly straged. They spoke about their fear of the government taking away their firearms. They pointed out that Wyoming's strong gun culture is not driven just by hobbies in, teachers used firearms to protect, safer from problems, and people want some means for self-protection in a state where a police officer may not be any where secure.

Still, the facts are clear: Fliams with more firearms have more suicides.

Ideally, the state would pass a red flag law. Such a policy would be a vast majority of gay women keep their weapons but allow law enforcement and family members to perform a court to temporarily take away someone's firearms during a crisis. States have typically passed these laws in response to mass shootings, but the best evidence suggests they're most effective for reducing suicides. That targets millions the fact that Americans happen gun problem as a suicide problem. About 40 percent of all gun deaths are suicides.

Wysomag, however, has banned the enforcement of red flag laws. This year, it rough-road it has. These opposing red flag laws claim the policies would let the government bring some people's firearms, even though these measures require court oversight. The

concern is typical of the gun control debate, in which even moderate measures lead to major-irigene that backlash.

Some state groups are instead focused on safe storage, encouraging people to lock up their guns and, preferably, separate their communities from their firearms. If someone who's suicidal has a few extra minors to make them what he's doing, he might change his state.

Doctors and their agents said they also try to persuade people to give up their firearms to friends, family members or trained human resources from all crisis, much like Mr. Brown. did. Legal changes could make this easier. For example, some businesses worry about their own liability if they hold someone's guns and secure them, and the gun owner then shoots himself or others. The law should

shield businesses from liability in these instances.

In Wyoming, these voluntary measures are more politically realistic than something like a red flag law. But they are also less effective. And the voluntary approaches still require acknowledging that mental illness is real and not also are preventable. Most of Wyoming is not there yet.

When moving with minors, Mrs. McRae, the commute, still bears people tell one another to "cowboy up." That advice fails too many Wysomagins. If the state wants to lose its status as one of the worst for suicides, something has to change.

A War Lone in Your Backyard

Timothy Egan

The author of "The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the Fire: The Secret Service"

AS A key, I found myself in Black Fain known after our dandy carved in a new war in house amid a ponderous pine forest in Spokane, Wash. During the summer, we tree-nanged out from our street, Indian Trail Road, swimming in an idle river and building tree farm from previous 8th overs at the suburban frontier.

For the rest, on camping trips in nearby national forests, we came upon chances tree banks from an inferno of legend and epic beauty — the Big Burn of 2005. It conjured an area about the start of Connecticut, more than three million acres, as a weekend, and is still the biggest wildfire in American history.

The blaze of 1910 spored Spokane, the largest city between Minneapolis and Seattle. But the lives of 2020 did not. I watched, heartbroken and deepfree, from a random closed vacation retreat in narrow Washington on an old boyhood stomping ground fell to spikes of wind-driven flame last weekend.

Indian Trail Road was at the heart of a "war zone," in the words of a National Guard general. Over 90,000 people, equal to one-fourth of the city's population, were forced to evacuate. Mayor Lisa Brown called the Spokane Complex fires the "worst natural disaster" in the organic river history.

Nature on a huge road, the main culprit. But an accident, allegedly, and conditions exacerbated by a global climate crisis were overinspirators in the collapse of this formerly sylvan setting.

In an instant, a hot August Saturday was wackhown into adrenal-curged panic. Friends and family members find an arena and decide caught this, rush went in a pool, both was control over hot. They found a great plume in the water, and they pop from an anemone, the mind of burned plants. One of my childhood gets refused to go. He clambered atop his house, trying to see up a sprinkler to use this home. He slipped and fell, huckling away in three places. Meanwhile, if our thousands, of people lost their homes, but unanxiously no fatalities have been reported. The danger has yet to pass, as a new round of high winds and warm temperatures has left families in a vacancies district, wondering if their neighbor foods will make it through fire-crossing days.

In a summer when France, Greece and Spain are burning, when northern England are on the coast, the forest winds move towards began almost 200 years ago, when New York and Chicago gagged on smoke from the former earth, when the two largest reservoirs in the United States, in the Colorado River, observed to a combined record saw water level, it may seem provincial to dwell on a fire in your hometown.

I watched, heartbroken, as my boyhood stomping ground in Spokane was subsumed by fire.

But the lemons — some of them hooded, others ignored in the way of multipreventional habits — from the Big Burn and this year's tragedy, an universal.

On one alive had ever seen anything like the flames that roared through parts of Washington, Idaho and Montana that Saturday night of August 2018. And so one had any idea how to restrain them. For many people filling the new towns of the American West, it was the last great fear. Wolves and grizzly bears had been nearly wiped out. Native Americans were forced onto reservations, their population crumbled by disease and war, all that consumed was fire.

Channeling a nation, feeling its mid-adolescent invulnerability, Edited the fact, the first haird father of the Forest Service, made a prediction just before the woods face up. "Today," he stated, "we understand that forest fires are wholly within the control of men."

He was asking for it. Assembling an array of immigrants, con- tions, Auggers and Black troops known as that tale. Seldom, the fledgling Forest Service tried, for the first time, to attack a major wild fire. It failed internally.

Some years later, the Forest Service adopted the 14 a.m. policy. Any wildfire up-to-date was the unbeliefly maintaining the next day. It suppressed many flares, but got no success of what is, allowing many medications to rest and brush its build up. Late in the 20th century, most investors recognized that the land is place. But they have since been advanced by how big, how early, how far, long, and how much the wildfires of the past 20 years have been. The new normal is catastrophic in place where people live, any month of the year, from Florida to Alaska.

The term of unparalleled continuous in the West was "wildlandurban interface." In other words, we moved by the millions into the forests, the grasslands, the wilderness-level, and nature-del vital it always does. People throughout the region were told to clear safety before in the brush and trees around their houses, live under metal roofs, and on- part to the six any green summer day. That was the price.

It always assumed that in the siloes a modern urban layout of right, hard surface grafts and adequate fire departments would keep everyone safe.

As kids, we felt no fear. These yellow-clad men and women jumping from low-flying plants into the mow of an inferno, cut horses, were dropped into neighboring public forests. Fire would never touch us.

The Spokane blaze, like the Southern California mansion, was first shot down thousands of homes around Los Angeles in January of 2020, is forcing us to refrain the nature of the boom. These major fires, one of them probably caused by an accident, roared through black after black, cut do-ice, after cut-drawn, as if the human land had never touched the landscape.

An Pacific burned and tampered late in life, people can shape nature, but we cannot control it. Study President Trump had an ember of the founding horner's insight. He blamed that mansion's flow in Canada's vast and large subpopulations forced forests — the cause of bad air in many American cities — on price management. He has chosen negligent denial and willful ignorance over common sense, suggesting that "taking" forest floors is the most important day in the country.

Riding! In Spokane, some of the most mansioned landscapes anywhere, in suburban or in most refined, that wet mind a chance against flames that jumped a river and the sun and the sun. The Washington, the Evergreen River, a drought emergency was declared to have been the only extreme heat and calcified land, fires have already consumed more than five million acres nationwide in 2020, and the most recently average for this time of year. And the Pacific Northwest — forests for peaks rugged by millennium-old glaciers, deep-green forests and clean mountain air — has been hit harder than any other region in the country.

Globally, nearly every year of late in better than the one before, and these changes make wildfires worse. Extreme infernos have more than doubled in frequency and intensity this country's history. It is not only the because that sounds like crucial microbes.

We are not powerless. "We shape our buildings," said Churchill, "thereafter they shape us." We need seeing and building a style for a place, and we need, with certain plant places, to really put a place. For these việc live in a few years, a sprinkler criterion is the roof, to match those in the ceiling of new buildings, might help.

The polling on humans-proof plants change to do so that while more Americans believe it is happening, only about half think it will significantly threaten their way of life. It's too often an academic debate, or a about any other thing, or a patient, or one with a dying. The essential site of my old neighborhood, the blackout playgrounds, the chimneys standing alone in the graveyards of homes that hold their generations of memories, alone and others falling this more to the degree heat, tell me something more personal. Lora. And I god. And a sense of urgency.

Trump's Wrecking Ball Is Headed for a Landmark for a You

Paul Goldberger

A former authorities who told the The Times and The New Yorker and the author of "We're Awful and Unfitted."

THE proposed "Arc de Trump" in Washington is best a prominent that a handy construction the height of a 40-foot span — a travesty that, if built, would dramatically change the landscape of the nation's capital. This is probably why President Trump is so eager to get it claims so fast as he can. It would be an unavoidable monument to a providence; and certain whose many Americans would rather not honor so conspicuously if at all. He understands that much to them, he will be hard to be anyone to make it go away.

Changes in supposed to happen slowly and carefully in Washington, and there are systems in place to make it clear. When the National Park Service said last week that the arch would not only block the time between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery but would also have an impact on 10 other Washington landmarks, it was a distressing process of the administration's attitude toward historic preservation. The Trump administration is in the process of making it much easier to demolish historic buildings and landscapes not just in Washington for nationwide.

The Park Service's observations were made during a Section 106 review, which has been one of our most effective historic preservation tools for the past 30 years. The name is a reference to a clause in the National Historic Preservation Act of 1998. It requires that before approval or granted for any project that uses federal funds, or which could affect buildings or landscapes in the National Register of Historic Places, its impact on historic places must be evaluated and the public must be consulted. The Trump administration recently proposed changes that would render the type of review process important. If the changes go forward, the various departments include the 10th and 4th, East Wing half-own will be just the beginning.

Section 106 has had a superb record of my managing experience and cooperation. It does not further change or even deanish the properties that district or made a "reveil, minimize or mitigate" any harm to historic places. The very reason difference is the way he exactly what has hit the Trump administration to be so determined. The rest of it is the good for years in New York, Section 106 reviews have been a part of the process that has led to the saving of the TWA's terminal at Kennedy International Airport, as well as the convenience of a portion of city's main post office into the

Mountain Train Hall.

The proposed changes in Section 106 were second by the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation. This is yet another of our government's review organizations that has been filled with Trump signatures who have been frequently for the subject so which they are expected to pass judgment. While the proposed changes do not technically eliminate Section 106, they encourage it.

If this new policy is enacted, it would extend the outcomes decision-making of Trump's Washington history. In the past, the changes in the way that the National Park Service may share in the country, it is more indeed for the government to concentrate the nation's 2000, 60th history, by embarking on what Brent Legge, the chief executive of the National Trustee Historic Preservation, has called "an unpro-

demed and deliberate attack on our civic and cultural island past."

The Trump administration's revised version of Section 106 replaces "the review of the public are essential to informed Federal decision-making" with a statement that says the government will have "a major impact on to determine the usefulness of public participation" — in effect saying that federal agencies can do as they please.

The Commission on Fine Arts, the National Park Service and the National Capital Planning Commission are the most famous made of public comments on the industry and the arch, almost all of which were negative. The commission approved both projects anyway.

The proposed changes also state that Section 106 applies only to sites that contain ac-

Forget the East Wing. The real demolition has only just begun.

tual buildings and other structures, eliminating any obligation to take public input into account in cause where natural landscapes, including the natural lands of Native Americans, are possible. The implementation of a clause requiring that Section 106 reviews begin at an early stage of design has been debated. The changes in the responsible to suggest that a project's role be shifted to protect something known. The law for defining the negative impact of a project is raised much higher. One person knows the cause says that the project is a "relieved need to visit themselves afire, another clause states that any proposedMitigationAmagative impact must be "technically and economically feasible." In other words, all the government does so say is, sorry, we've decided it will be too expensive to run that new highway through a route that will protect a cherished nature's way. Or that if just doesn't want to be bothered.

Over the past year, we have seen the effects of Mr. Trump's attitudes about urban planning and historic preservation. The proposed and well known the term connecting Lincoln to the Civil War dead, a space that for more than a hundred years has been kept open as one of the capital's most subtle as lo of monumental beauty. There is also the need to be the same as the Rutherford Police from the Lincoln Memorial and the former mission that have been painted in gold, using funds taken from the National Park Service budget.

The first step is to forget Mr. Trump's insistence on painting the gray granite Eisenhower Eisenhower Office Building a mark while to share "search" the building on. The building is arguably the greatest work of architecture office. Second Steps work left in the United States, but when the mansion's reds and columns and terraces are all fragile white it will look cheap, and worse, it will be effectively ruined. Grasses is not porous, so it does not hold paint. I doubt that you can find a single painted Second Empire building in Paris, and/or good reason. Does anyone think the Police figure would look better with a cup of white paint?

Mr. Trump's change of the historic preservation goes back at least as far as his campaign on a prussian to finance shelter than do not, and the fact is how whole on the facade of Benson Talbot, which he knocked down to build Trump Towns. He got away with that. He said that the new policy is the District of Columbia Circuit ruled on Friday that he should have gotten congressional approval for his White House balloons, likely leaving it up to the Supreme Court.

The new policy is a new way to succeed, in making its proposed changes in Section 106, it will take a wrecking ball to the historic preservation movement in the United States. And in others will be left across the country for generations.

OPINION

He Grew Up on Antidepressants, Now He Wants a Way Out.

Camille Bromley

President of the New Opinion.

WHEN Cameron LaBar was a kid, he was a towhead with bright blue eyes and big feelings. He seemed to cause things more strongly than other children. She handy lived in Southern California, and when he was at the beach of playing in the yard, they liked him as a double layer of towels as he wouldn't scream when he got used on his hands or was poked by the grunt. Susan LaBar his mother, called him the flip-top baby. He'd built up to a certain pressure, then crisp in tears.

Around the age of 5, his face and body became repetitively twitching in ways he couldn't come off. LaBar bought books on Tourette's syndrome and started highlighting things she recognized — until she was almost sobering in whole pages. In fourth grade, his teacher called her and said that he had gotten overwhelmed with instructions on an assignment and from at his desk. She took him to a pediatric neurologist, who diagnosed him with Tourette's syndrome, chronic/oromegative disorder and generalized anxiety disorder.

Other five children, Mr. LaBar thought, he was the most like her: anxious and sensitive. "He can't take a deep breath," she told the doctor. "He's so kindled up." The doctor suggested that Paul, an antidepressant in the category known as S.S.R.I., could level things out for him. He told her that Paul would object what was going out; his head or he could do what he needed to do: relax, sit down in chair and complete his homework.

Group her son psychiatric medication at 2 years old was not a decision Mr. LaBar took lightly. She thought about it every night for 1 week, then called the doctor and asked him to prescribe the lowest dose that would help him get untruth from inside his own head.

More than 20 years later, as an adult, Mr. LaBar went back on that moment with an intrusive and regret. It was the start of a prolonged pharmaceutical spiral that kept him on medication without agson. He believes that the years he spent on antidepressant kept him from feeling the full range of her emotions — from being a full authentic life, even. He was not alone. When he described his experience online, he encountered a multitude of others who had a similar story.

The release of Prozac, the first S.S.R.I. antidepressant, in 1990 was hailed as a revolution in psychiatric treatment. S.S.R.I. is were safer, with less hard-runsome side effects, than previous kinds of antidepressants; in the coming decades Prozac, Zaloft, Lenapro and other drugs were readily prescribed to tens of millions of Americans. But far less thought was given to how to take patients off them.

For some patients, trying to stop medication provoked withdrawal symptoms even more debilitating than the depression or anxiety they'd set out to treat. The doctors and nurse practitioners who prescribed their drugs provided little guidance on how to prevent these symptoms beyond staying on the drugs. Bewildered and angry, patients congregate in Facebook groups and internet forums to soon help from one another.

Now the Main America Healthy Again, reflected health regime of Robert E Kennedy. It has moved into this old between patient and doctor, promising to free the mental health of Americans from a dependence on pills. The public attention has finally moved the psychiatric profession to take steps to address depression drug. But the system that pays people on these medications will need take a change to carefully and safely lead people off. The question for patients is whom they will want for guidance.

ON PAUL, Mr. LaBar remembers, for one was himself again. He unwound and could function at school. He remembered little grade as the best year of his life. He had eighty lost, he was popular, and a get on the more team had a crush on him. But Tourette's syndrome symptoms can be tenable during puberty, and that was the case with him.

Mr. LaBar and her son tried a sequence of medications throughout his room to suppress the loss in sixth grade; he started fingertips and promptly gained 24 pounds. In seventh grade, he took laryngitis, which made him so slowly, as he had a deep during first period as a paddle of dread. In eighth, ninth, 10th and 11th grades he took dildly, 1st and then 10th, then and increased his dose of Paul. He had case of Buckner energy drink in his back yard, to help him stay inside during school.

The patient was to take a medication until the side effects gave harder to bear than district, then switch to another. By senior year, he was a calmed down, and he was taking only Paul's medication, the remaining 6% administered to her. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

As the time, he didn't question the suggestions to stop on his S.S.R.I. The explanation he had been given by his doctor for why he doesn't. In the medication was that he had a chemical imbalance in his brain and the medication would fix it. The phrase "chemical imbalance," popularized by pharmaceutical marketing, and widely repeated by doctors, is the only thing because it appears to be a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not a disease that is not

Uncertainty over the origins of mental illness doesn't have to be a problem for care, most clinicians would say that a full understanding of what's happening in their personal life is less important than recognizing which practical treatments make them feel better. Studies and clinical experience have shown that a significant portion of people do better on antidepressants than all,

at least in the short term. But in the meantime, the effects of these drugs on the people who take them long term, and what happens when they stop, have gone woefully understatement.

For patients, one result of the chemical imbalance story was that if you believed your brain had a disorder that needed regular chemical intervention, there would be no reasons excepting pills even after you got back on your bed. You would just keep taking them, and in many cases your doctor wouldn't suggest otherwise. Doctors receive far more warning on preventing psychiatric medication than on stopping them, and the patient already doing well on a drug, many doctors will opt to keep it rather than cut it.

By some antidepressants are one of the most common prescription medications of the United States — one of every six adults takes them. Data from the 2000s and 2010s put the median duration of use in the United States at five years, with a quarter of users taking them for 10 years or more. If you were one of the earliest people to take Prozac, you could have been taking antidepressants for almost 40 years.

WHEN he was 20, Mr. LaBar moved to Rome, Idaho, for a new job and promptly fell apart. He was working from home and knew almost no one in the city. And he was getting terrible, in an effort to save things. He'd felt OK for a few days, then got hit with hopelessness and attention.

The backyard of his apartment in Rome looked tightened into the river, and he couldn't to change his mood. Mr. LaBar would submerge himself in the 5-gall water. It gave him a lift that lasted hours, and he started an Instagram account to talk about the mental health benefits of cold plugging. The account took off, and said what up in the middle of the night to see 30,000 new followers and got up in the morning to 10,000 more.

Despite a good job, a thriving difference also heats and a year on his backyard. Mr. LaBar was feeling extremely down about his life. All of his other siblings had married. His younger brother had children. And yet he, in his early 20s, did not know what love even was. "I keep seeing it, and I keep hearing about it, and I don't know what anybody's talking about," he told his older sister Lara LaBar.

One woman he dated in graduate school was pretty, hard-working and funny. They dared by night or nine months, then Mr. LaBar did an internship out of state for a couple of months, and upon his return he felt completely indifferent to seeing her again. Oh, well, he thought. She's not the one. But the same thing happened with his next relationship. He would be interested in someone, but the feeling never grew, and after an initial phase of retirement it faded into indifference. He even stopped caring about me. "Is this what this is?" he asked his sister on the phone.

Mr. LaBar started seeing a therapist who helped him trace the mood swings back to when they arrived, and he realized that they began around the time he was taking klineups regularly. A senior practitioner handed him a prescription some years earlier after he had a panic attack, and in Rome his bluegrown cough up in almost every day. "It's me meds," he thought.

He resolved that he would start tapering off the Klineups and his antidepressant, Lenapro, which he'd switched over to. He learned about emotional blaming, a common side-effect of S.S.R.I.s that leaves people feeling detached and numb. He wondered if that could explain his mood swings, apathy and indifference to someone.

Mr. LaBar remembers an episode in his 20s when he tried to stop taking Paul and was hit within a few days with intense, panicky anxiety. He quickly remained the medication, supposing that the emergence of anxiety was proof enough to benefit it. This time, nothing himself to try again, he poised on Instagram that he was thinking of stopping his meds. One of his followers tried into a YouTube interview with Dr. Mark Horowitz, an associate professor of psychiatry at Adelaide University in Australia who had become a prominent advocate in the depressing movement.

Mr. LaBar watched the three-hour video straight through. The eyes doctors and the patient were underrated the color of these drugs," Dr. Horowitz said in the interview. "A lot of humor is being done to people with long-term treatments." He outlined a method for creating off medication called hyperbole to posing an emotional pain, some was reduced at a slower rate as the dose approached zero. This approach can take months or even years, far longer than the tape's typically recommended by doctors.

People were not always abruptly cut provoke symptoms including dizziness, nausea, insomnia and brain injury — starting outups of shock. About 4 male users head. The American Psychiatric Association has seen an uncovered range of acceptably primary after a week or two, and clinicians probably agree that a majority of patients don't have starting or before starting off medication.

But some doctors differed time. People in other groups set out to have long antidepressants, which had more than 25,000 members before it was achieved this even report withdrawal symptoms that are meaning and severe. Some people experience what's called permanent withdrawal, in which symptoms continue long after patients have fully stopped their medication.

The first time of the program from withdrawal to a crucial question for those who attempt to discontinue medication. Yet the problem has never been adequately studied. Very few studies have measured withdrawal in people

taking antidepressants for a long period, and there are almost no studies comparing how patients face when following different tapering methods. American psychiatry associations do not have standardized guidance on how to stop taking psychiatric drugs. Without doctors to provoke smaller answers, people who feel they have been harmed by medication turn to either your groups for information. There they find alternate explanations for their distress.

A FTRI watching the YouTube interview with Dr. Horowitz, Mr. LaBar felt as if he was waiting up. He saw his bad reaction to going off? And in his 20s in a new package not a relapse but rather the effect of his body's dependence. He decided to follow a hyperbole taper in Dr. Horowitz recommended from an anesthetic [82], with the support of his psychiatrist, he reduced the Lenapro from 10 milligrams to nine. That didn't solve his mood swings, so he passed the Lenapro there and a couple of months later started tapering Klineups.

The withdrawal from Klineups was hard. He could no longer sleep. His heart can't be no reason, and he got short of breath at random moments. His depression got much

worse. But once he can feel zero, he felt a kind of clarity that he hadn't experienced in a long time. His energy returned, and has mood swings finally disappeared. To rethink his achievement, he went on a role trip to Iceland and spent a week cold plugging.

Updated, he returned the taper of Lenapro, reducing by 1 milligram. Immediately he sank into a heretofore and of manliness. Every good feeling fell away, and when rose to the rather worn thoughts of suicide after a few weeks, he went to again, by and a milligram.

This proved too much. On top of the manliness and the suicidal ideation, Mr. LaBar felt removed from his body and disorganized from his life, as if feeling restless it all. He didn't see friends or go on dates. He lost all motivation at his job, where he struggled to stop preventable was one of unpredictable fits of treatment. He quit and moved into a small apartment in Salt Lake City near where his parents and three of his siblings now lived.

Mr. LaBar went to help him get settled, and saw more intense concerned her. Her husband came back from World War II a distant and closed off train. Her thought he probably could have been helped by an antidepressant. She'd soon other family members take anti-

S.S.R.Ls can leave people feeling emotionally muted, but getting off the drugs is tricky.

depression in times of hardship and benefit from them, like if ever lost can benefit. She listened to her plan to resume his taper and told him: 'The way you're looking is exactly why we started you on this. This is how you were at it, honey. This is why we put you on the medication.'

Mr. Lulbar disagreed. He acknowledged he was a nurse, but he was thing, he'd been cold plunging in the polluted creek nearby and caught a stomach long. And he was certain that what he was feeling was not how he really was. Talk about underlying conditions, he thought, was something a goofgiving doctor would say: 'Most, this is withdrawal,' he said. 'I know I'm OK underneath.'

SINCE the appointment of Mr. Kennedy as health secretary last year, his office has been preoccupied with the over-medicalization of mental health care, particularly for children. This spring he announced several initiatives intended to enable clinicians to help patients stop taking antidepressants. 'Too many patients begin treatment without a clear understanding of the risks and how long they will run on these drugs or how to some off of them. That's not informed consent,' he said.

Overmedicalization as a concept makes mainstream psychiatry hostile. Dr. Joseph Goldberg, a former president of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology, feared Mr. Kennedy's talk might encourage people to make heavy decisions to stop medication. 'We think that informed consent means knowing how's your chance of relapse, here's your chance of suicide,' Dr. Goldberg said.

In February, Dr. Goldberg published a paper with reports to psychopharmacology not being some basic agreements on depressing. The paper recommended that prescribers request a patient's medication at least once a year and that medication be

stopped if it is no longer working. It did not prevent detailed protocols for how tapering should be conducted or how withdrawal should be managed.

People who feel bound by the medical system are not eager to listen to it now. Instead they often put their own words into support groups. 'The withdrawal community knows so much more about the process than psychiatrists because they have done it for decades at this point,' said Dr. Seegard Gupta, a psychiatrist who participated in Dr. Goldberg's paper and helped write, in 2003, the first book about psychiatric depression thing.

At the same time, three online groups simplify critical views on professional medicine and can blood into antipropriates — the belief that mental disorders are socially rather than biologically caused and that psychiatric drugs harm more than they help. In this way, a concern about overmedicalization can lead on into dismissing any drug as valid.

The trajectory is easy to understand. You find an online space that helps you make sense of a confusing, intriguing appearance, and it becomes a place to question the larger truths of your illness. Maybe your illness was not chronic and did not need to crack medication for so long. Maybe what your doctor la-

belief depression was never a disease to begin with; maybe it was a normal emotion that would have passed even enough.

If you were someone who had given decades of your life to pills and prescriptions and came to resent that dependence, the most urgent question can become how to occlude personal agency. For people in this situation, control over their health doesn't look like taking medication, it looks like stopping.

IN SALE LAKE CITY, Mr. Lulbar leaned into social media. He started making videos in which he geared a childhood that he felt he never fully got to live. He got over a whereable and angry than he had been, and some of these videos attracted millions of views and thousands of consumers.

He posted a photo of his younger will next to his birthday cake, wondering. Who was this kid who couldn't handle life? He saw what he was posting as raising awareness, but if he was being honest, he also wanted to hear that he wasn't crazy. A theme of success from the internet fulfilled that need.

He usually talked to his mother on the phone every day. But the calls left off after the videos went up. 'You just pictures of what you were a little kid and talk about how you were this and that,' she said to him. 'Those pictures are sacred to me, because that's my little boy. He was happy, and he was loved.'

Because of his affections' status, Mr. Lulbar was solicited by figures with political agendas about psychiatric drug policy. He typically declined. He didn't want to get involved in political advocacy. His social media posts concerned his own story, and he tried to be careful not to advise other people on whether to take medications. Though he had eagerly about how young he'd been when he started an antidepressant, he admitted that he didn't know how he would have faced without them — maybe better but maybe worse.

The success of his posts made him reconsider his hesitation. Perhaps he could acculturate a cultural movement to educate people about withdrawal. He came up with a slogan, 'Five the feelings,' and appended it to his videos. This spring he accepted an invitation from Laura Deban, a former psychiatrist, patient who founded a group called Anna Compass Initiative, to speak at a MARA conference, and let's since started to publish social media posts in partnership with a telehealth tapering clinic that Dr. Sherwin helped board.

The alignment of patient advocates, MARA and mainstream psychiatry on a common goal of depressing is bringing attention to an underappreciated issue. Primary-care providers, who prescribe a majority of S.S.R.Ls, remain largely unaware that some people have a difficult time with withdrawal and that stopping drugs needs to be done with careful oversight.

But we should also be concerned about what mental health will look like in this country if medications are reduced without something else to fill the need. Dr. Alison Miller, a psychiatrist in Ohio who writes a popular newsletter about delirium in the field, said that most patients he sees in the clinic are seeking treatment for their suffering rather than help coming off their medications. He suggested in a recent newsletter that the only way for the medical field to resolve disagreements about depressing is to 'conduct a dozen randomized controlled trials on tapering methods and outcomes.'

In the absence of such research, there remains no consensus on what depressing should look like. Not any form of careful tapering requires time, attention and collaboration between individual prescribers and patients — the very things that are so often lacking in a typical doctor's visit.

The MARA movement popularizes a view of mental health that positions taking medication in opposition to personal autonomy. But going off medications carefully, at scale, will require patients to rely more on the medical system rather than less. That means the delivery of better mental health care dependent on alternatives to institutionalized medicine but on an expansion of it.

MR. Lulbar is now taking 15 milligrams of Letapies, what he calls his 12-year-old does, the equivalent amount to what he has took at that age. The ultimate goal is his 6-year-old does: 2000, 2010, a long run yet. Dr. Sherwin's trough guideline for long-term users is that every year on an S.S.R.L requires two months to come off. Mr. Lulbar figures he'd been an antidepressant for 20 years, so that works out to more than four years of tapering. He has at least three years left to go.

His plan for continuing is to do a microtaper. He will get a liquid suspension of Letapies, which allows for more maniac doses than the standard tablets, and reduce one-hour droplets of a milligram every day or so.

When he explained his plan to his psychiatrist, the doctor tangled saying to him the slowest taper he'd ever heard of. He agreed to help, but he told Mr. Lulbar, 'I want you to think about whether you coming off the medication because you have some sort of quest to beat yourself in worth you struggling to hard the next two or three years or whether it's worth just staying on it.'

Mr. Lulbar was frustrated by the question. He acknowledged that leaving his job was a big part in just the everything that a person that happened to be the price of figuring out what was to him more important than anything: learning who he was and how he could cope without medication. He wanted to make relationship longer than a few months to feel love, to be intimate without the interference of needs. It had nothing at all to do with control.

He was keeping an eye on his O.C.D., which was creeping back. Simple tasks like getting dressed in the morning and deciding what to eat for dinner had gotten harder. His sister showed that as he continued his taper his O.C.D. would emerge, and the anger him to do separate and stepwise processes a therapy. But he wanted to learn to manage his life on his own.

He was beginning to be the moment. Mr. Lulbar's old company offered him his job back, and he returned to Rome. It looks like a welcome crest and a sign to prepare to resume his taper is the fall. He keeps a rematch on someone's head. 'What is the next year purpose? To love myself and feel confident, proud. To be a great (national) (company), for free (company) and (a/c)' he wrote. 'To love free of antidepressants.'

Welcome to My Museum of America

DEFINING WHAT it means to be American today can seem like an impossible task. We are a big and an unruly nation, prone to acting in extreme and contradictory ways, often at the same time. And yet Americanness is easy to spot. It lives in our mannerisms (big scales) of our worldview (bullish). And it is imbued in our things — the gadgets, food, tools and household clutter that surround us. Just as the relics of ancient Mesopotamiana provide insight into their way of life, who we are as a culture and as a nation can be uncovered by sifting through our giant piles of stuff.

To that end, I put together a collection of objects that reveal something special about us. This isn't a definitive canon; in a nation of 342.7 million individuals, no set of things could be. Instead, consider this my contribution to our favorite 250-year-old parlor game, a 22-part answer to the question: Who are we?

Since the invention of Lycra in 1956, the American athlete and the American snack potato have worn the same pains. Allelicians squash both virtue and vice, often simultaneously.

It was a novel that said, "I'm so wealthy, I don't even have to get dressed." With enough money in the bank, leonies itself becomes the sport.

That impala you owned at the Tucson airport? On the highway it handled like a customer, seaped up for the racetrack, it goes 200 miles per hour and takes curves like a racehorse. NASCAR asks us to rethink our lives as full of possibility and gives us a reason to believe in the most American history. With the right pit crew, any of us can be champions.

This country has finally reached peak sputum. The modern-day pamphletos has a "get ready with me" about the United States Mexico Canada. Agreements, and yes, we will tune in to watch it live. We just can't help ourselves. We the people wish to be heard, and be better or be worse, we the people wish to have the opinions of ourselves in mind, no matter how unhinged they may be. Sometimes this leads to a certain full of traitor facts. But sometimes it leads to revelation.

The above number probably singles we are a nation on the break, haltered and not far blood. But it might also be good if a successful

In some countries, stunned glass is reserved for the fashion of spaces — grand cathedrals and sturdy palaces. In America, Tiffany-style glass is far everybody. Like the Little League team that shares pizza and wraps after losing the championship or the stand-up comedian who hends at the Comedy Office every Friday night.

We can cut Grandleemys without judgment, call our levers in person and half the sweet perfume of Little Town “daughns from the rear new mirror. Mistake... Va-inklavetus”. Unfortunately our cars are also destroying cities, clogging our lungs and polluting the environment. Back, even our air fresheners can be toxic. But this is America, and here we have a word for, loving something that might kill you: freedom. (See also: football, red meat and sugar.) If it feels good, we want it, especially if it has that new car smell.

Unfortunately, when flushed, Dude Wipes XL may clog your pipes. That’s the thing about seizing problems: (How you end up creating another, live also: the Vietnam War, the internal combustion engine, the internet, Prop 3).

Have we always been so scared of strangers? And when did we, as a country supposedly built on individual liberties, become so enthusiastic about Big Brother-style surveillance? Maybe we are still haunted by the ghost of Michael Wigglesworth and the Massachusetts Pet-Katz who looked out from their chapels and saw only “a waste of howling wholeness.” Maybe we still believe that safety can be found only beneath the eyes of a benevolent and unconvinced lord. The Pet-Katz had God. We have Jeff Bezos. In a native plagued by loneliness, perhaps it’s time to start answering the door.

The Solo cap is the quintessential expression of American industrial drugs: a new take on an old standard, made plastic, disposable and extra strong, so it can withstand the precision of a needle pit, a packing jar or a beer pony tournament.

In America, the image of nature is often more powerful than nature itself.

Is Antisemitism the New Theme Of the Metropolitan Museums Gala?

Dana Thomas

The author of 'Quite and Kings: The Rise and Fall of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano.

THIRTY years ago this fall, a young, 9-volt British fashion designer named John Galliano, known as much-arrived Paris for his partying ways on for her purposes, outlaughts creations, was faced by the august century house Christian Dior to be its new creative director. For his first Dior knots culture drive, edged at Le Grand Hotel in January 1997, he presented a made-up of Edwardian dressing, 19th-century. Appetizers and Massai tribal wear, including hairded greens, rindled corsets draped with tiny yellow and orange ceramic beads, and an opium-des-like sheath in charteware satin trimmed with niobi — a look Nicole Kidman wore to the Oscars two months later.

"I was sitting in a row with Madame Chirac and Madame Pompidou and they looked like they had been let in the face with a cold dead folk," the New York socialite and longtime Dior client Nan Knapper told me after the show. "They couldn't believe what they were looking at this conservative house where they've all bought their clothes for years. How much was there that Madame Chirac or Madame Pompidou could wear?"

Nothing really. Mr. Galliano wasn't thinking about client's needs or desires. As he had told me during an interview two years earlier, during a short-lived stint at Givesley, "I don't intend to please them." Bateau years later, his tenure at Dior came to an abogyned, following a drunken antiseptic inside in a Paris cafe. But while he held that vaunted position, he seemed to be designing

the John Galliano brand in the early 1980s, once told me: "No one escaped him."

The fashion business has long been known to tolerate bad behavior, addiction, provocations and eccentricity are seen as normal, and at times necessary, elements of the creative process. Mr. Galliano's compartment went way beyond all that. He had a habit of being extravagantly careless with apprenticeship, even with people (like Madonna) who could have had a big impact on his company's sales.

In 2000 he made headlines in the midway prone for shunting aside his close friend and creative partner Amanda Redrich when he went to Dior, and then publicly cutting her out of lucide. At some point in the mid-1990s he reportedly spent several hours naked in the elevator of the Ritz hotel in London, groveling at queens who tried to seize and telling them he was a lion, he was subsequently spread from the hotel.

I experienced his erratic behavior myself. When I arrived at his tiny Passage du Cheval Blanc studio in Paris in 1994 for our four interviews, his staff told me he was not-when to be found. When he showed up, he was glassy-eyed, no empty explorer, not really there.

A reputation like that might be enough to give any nuclear peace. Chewing this moment to glorify the life's work of someone who was convicted of making antiseptic remarks, however, is downright bizarre.

An independent curator told me in 2021 that he had spent years preparing a Galliano exhibition to museums across the United States and Europe. The answer, he said, was always the same: no. he was the reason: antismatism. None of the museums wanted to take the risk of furnishing themselves.

scheduled for 2024 and was postponed following the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel.

Yet the subject of antismatism is no less changeal—also than it was then, report—discalibons have increased; debates about it have ended state and local elections, and the Trump administration has placed it front and came in its effort to clash university research funding.

Public discussions continue to rage over how to define antismatism, but there is no definitive narrow enough to include Mr. Galliano's infamous outburst, in which he praised Hitler and told fellow sale patrons their ancestors would have been gassed.

Already, out-ago and condemnation have flooded social media since the museum's announcement, and the booklaid is likely to grow in the market leading up to the Met Gala on May 3. The growing event has become a regular site of protest for less polarising issues. The 2021 exhibition, 'Kari Lagerfeld: A Line of beauty,' drew demonstrators confronting the designer's attitudes toward women, and the year's 'Cormine Art' celebration, which was sponsored and chaired by Jeff Bence and Lauren Sánchez-Brizo, brought anti-hifewster picketers near the museum's 1998, income entrance. The black-ish hall for the Galliano show, which will run through Jan. 9, 2026, is likely to provoke a more vehement — and prolonged — response.

Despite all this, the Met and Ms. Wintour appear to believe they can reassured the controversy and cestre upon Mr. Galliano a place in the cultural causes without irrefuteably harming their own reputations. Sadly, they might be right.

Gov. Chant was a virulent antiseptic, but that didn't stop the Met from mounting a

The app for every today.

with one thing in mind: a future museum retrospective.

At the end of July, he got it. The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that Mr. Galliano would be the subject of the Communist-attractive next exhibition, scheduled to open May 9. It is an exceptional honor. Only two other living designers have been so celebrated by the Met. Tena Sade Laurent in 1863 and Iles Ezeukiche of Comme des Garçons in 2017.

This show, titled 'John Galliano: Heroism,' promises to continue him among fashion's greatest customers. But his hand will always have an amends attached: As the museum noted in its announcement: "Alongside Galliano's extraordinary creative accomplishments, his exhibition will address the derogatory conduct that hands mentally altered his career and public reception. In doing so, the exhibition will consider how artistic achievement should be understood alongside ethical accountability."

In other words, unlike most fashion retrospectives, which invite visitors to admire spiked gowns made for the rich and famous, with 'John Galliano: Heroism,' the Met is attempting to tackle questions regarding cultural memory, accountability, rehabilitation and regulation. In his process, it is asserting the ability of powerful cultural institutions to decide when achievements of talent outweigh failures of morality.

Our culture offers endless examples of artists who believe disgracefully and are revealed, exhibition, and high fashion — to some degree an explicit celebration of wealth inequality — has never been the place to look for lessons on virtue. Even so, Mr. Galliano's rehabilitation, indeed his co-examen, is a remarkable turn of events at Mr. Galliano's biographer, I think it is ascertained also.

His infamous antiseptic raids were not an alternative. From his early days as a struggling designer in London and Paris through the time of the heights of the fashion industry, Mr. Galliano was known to be verbally allusive to employees, friends and strangers alike. He "talked truth" about everyone in his sphere, Jacqui Duclos, head of

Not all great creators deserve a retrospective, including someone as incendiary as John Galliano.

The Met and Anna Wintour — Vogue's global editorial director, a Met trainer and Mr. Galliano's greatest champion — apparently under what they can occur. At the one point, the Met outcame, the Wintour and the Common harmless's chief reunite, Andrew Bolton, met with some of New York City's most influential rallies and Jewish leaders to get a reading on the situation. In fact, a Galliano exhibition was originally

major Chantl exhibition in 1893 that attracted more than 400,000 visitors. Since it Galliano was briefly extracted in the late 2000s following a series of rock raids, old for-neophilic and fat-gladic statements, today, the incidents have been largely forgotten and the brand is widely believed. Ralestings faced opprobrians in 2022 for ads featuring inappropriate sexual imagery of children, but within a matter of months the episode had blown over.

Mr. Galliano himself was never truly canceled. Two years after his living, he completed a highly publicized residency at Oscar de la Renta in New York, reportedly with Ms. Wintour's support. One year later, he was appointed creative director of Maison Martin Margolis, owned by the Italian entrepreneur Ronan Bosso, another Englishist Wintour ally. In 2024, he was the subject of the Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald's well-organized documentary "High & Low: John Galliano," produced in association with Conde Nast Entertainment, the film and television division of Vogue's publisher.

More recently, celebrities including Zendero and Kirin Jensen, as well as Ms. Sánchez-Brizo, have been wearing vintage Galliano pieces, which has substantially increased their value. And last March, the Spanish fast-fashion giant Zara announced that it had ordered the designer — whose mother was Ambitarian — to "re-author" designs from its archives, introducing his work to some generation of customers. The first collection at several stores until month. Industry insiders are already specializing that Zara may sponsor the Met's exhibition and gala. It seems, at least in some circles, that Mr. Galliano is considered a timeless client.

Not all great creators deserve a retrospective, and someone as incendiary as Mr. Galliano certainly shouldn't be the subject of one during his lifetime, when he stands to profit from his heart personally. With 'John Galliano: Heroism,' the Met and Ms. Wintour are telling the idea that they can tell the rest of us how to think about a difficult and decisive figure. Maybe they didn't notice that idea has gone badly out of fashion.

EDITORIAL

STATE OWNERSHIP OF A.I. IS A BAD IDEA

The Editorial Board

A group of opinion journalists whose views are informally important, research, debate and certain longstanding values, this magazine from the association.

SAM ALTRIAN, the chief executive of Special, has proposed that the federal government take small stakes in the leading artificial intelligence companies on the public to use chairs in the industry's financial bonuses. He has recently suggested giving the government a 5 percent stake in his company, which would be worth 542.8 billion at the current market price.

Despite former families of Vermont says the government should take a 10 percent stake in the leading companies, placing the shares in a clear market that sovereign wealth must be addition to a share in the profits, he says, swine-ship would give the government greater control over the development of a technology that has the potential to shake out society.

President Trump also likes the idea of the government holding shares in A.I. companies. "It would be a beautiful thing," he says recently.

Policymakers ought to resist the temptation. State ownership is not in the public interest.

The government does not need to take financial stakes in companies in order to share in their success. That is the purpose of taxation, to an industry's gross, so do the amounts that the government collects in taxes on profits and wages.

Nor does the United States need from those issues to participate in decision making. That is the purpose of regulation. The government has broad powers to check corporate conduct that is attributed to the public interest.

The A.I. revolution may be so significant as to require some regulatory framework. If may require some approach to taxation, But that is where the government should keep its focus.

There are big downsides to government ownership stakes. By providing insulation against market forces, state banking can make companies less competitive, less innovative and less worried about the welfare of their customers. And the history of state investment suggests that, if anything, a often makes regulation more difficult. Governments can be reluctant to enforce state when action comes at the expense of the state, too.

We also are concerned about the specific dangers that would arise if the current administration took a stake in A.I. companies. Mr. Trump has made clear that he will use almost any tools at his disposal to curtail himself and his allies and to act against Americans whom he perceives as his enemies.

The importance of corporations and state has long been a strength of the U.S. economy. The U.S. government does not own shares in drug companies. It does not own shares in airlines or oil companies or transporters. It should not own shares in A.I. companies.

THE idea that state ownership is the best way to reap the benefits of corporate success or to curb its success has an intuitive appeal. It has long been a moment of the economic policy of communist nations, and it enjoyed considerable popularity in many industrial democracies during the second half of the 19th century. In the mid-1970s, state-owned companies made up roughly 10 percent of the British economy and employed 5 percent of the nation's workers.

Such investments are now much less common, however, because the judgment of history was clear. China analyzed its demands, too by shifting from state ownership to private enterprise. For only owned American companies outperformed state-owned European rivals in banking, telecommunications, freight transportation and other industries.

In 2021, across the 10 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, companies in which governments held significant stakes accounted for only about 1 percent of the total market capitalization of publicly traded companies.

Our opposition to state ownership is not absolute. Governments and government-owned companies routinely outperform study provide some essential services, including health care and public transportation. Yet these services could also harm that a market economy fails to provide adequately. A.I. clearly does not fit that description.

The U.S. government also has, at times, taken stakes in so-called companies. For example, during the financial crisis almost two decades ago, Washington hailed out the nation's major banks, both majorly ownership stakes in General Motors and AGS, and took control of France Mar and Freddie Mac. But those kinds of emergency interventions have generally been determined as short-term stabilization measures, under-absurd activity and control as soon as possible.

The proposed investments in A.I. companies are a departure from that history. They would be long term investments in companies that do not need financial assistance. Indeed, the government would take stakes precisely because the companies are succeeding.

Proposals to give the federal government a stake in A.I. companies often include subjuguals to limit the government's role. Mr. Trump has compared the idea of investing in A.I. companies in the 10 percent stake that his administration took last year in the troubled diapoplexes here. These shares are

The government doesn't need to take financial stakes in companies to regulate them or share in their success.

interesting, allowing the public to participate in the company's profits but not in its decision making.

Evolution direct home of government support, however, can still be problematic. The mortgage finance companies finance that and Freddie Mac offer an example. The government created the companies, but it did not maintain an ownership stake. Still, in the early 1990s, the companies put such0times investment strategies as part because they were confident the government would bad them out, as it eventually did.

THE impact on the corporations is only part of the problem. State ownership doesn't just translate companies from market forces. It also needs to combine against regulation.

Our public should regard Mr. Altman's proposal with trade suspicion. It is a payment. The question is what he hopes to receive in return, and the obvious answer is that he is hoping to purchase leniency. He is hoping that the government will deal less strictly with his company if every decision to constrain its substitutes exists, in part, at the expense of the government, too. He has good reason, to judge from the historical record.

State-owned oil companies provide gaining examples. The Norwegian government is a signatory of the Paris Agreement, which establishes guide for reducing emissions to limit climate change. It is also the majority shareholder in Equinox, Norway's dominant oil company. Norway's petroleum wealth provides 30 percent of the government's annual revenue. Last year the government blocked an effort by minority shareholders in the company to force Equinox to account for the company's failure to comply with the environmental policies the government itself has adopted.

Other examples allowed. South Africa had tightened more lenient emissions standards for power plants owned by the state still in company. Global Singapore does not require Tsunami, a state-owned investment firm, to make the state financial disclosures as many privately owned investment firms. Financials were unamended some state-owned companies from its bankruptcy lines, allowing those businesses to borrow more through.

Taking stakes in A.I. companies would not increase the government's ability to control those companies. The opposition can't think. There is a clear need for legislation to govern A.I. a number on which we will not have to say in the coming months. Writing those laws will be difficult, but the work is necessary. Ownership is not a substitute for oversight.

The federal government has an important role to play in assessing that the situation of A.I. are broadly distributed and in processing the public from the personal themselves. The best way to achieve these goals, however, is not by picking up the tools of investors but instead by using the powers of government.

Hanging On to This Old House

Readers respond to a guest away about what happens when your home is also your nest egg.

TO THE EDITOR

Re: "The Shooting Crime Is Also a Retirement Crowd," by Kyla Scanlon (Equinox guest essay), July '20.

Ms. Scanlon's essay is one of several TVs read lately that seem to blame older homeowners for causing home prices to grow out of reach of younger folks. I had it troubling that many young people are unable to purchase homes, but the belief that buying a home used to be easy for everyone is simply false.

Beginning 52 years ago, my husband and I worked tirelessly for years to shoot our home. We lacked the money we needed and so ended up building it ourselves, digging the foundation feelings with shovels and building every part of it that we possibly could. The house has appreciated tremendously, but it is not hauling our retirement.

If we sold our market house, we'd have to buy another for almost the same price. In fact, our beloved home is a money pit, we are not living the high life based on our home's appreciation. Home maintenance and upkeep of property are expensive, and hard work.

I struggle to see how the equity that we have built up in our home has in any way contributed to the statistical ability of anyone else's home. Maybe our private speculators should have a finger pointed at them instead.

I hope that by the time my husband and I die, we will not have been forced to sell our home, and that the wonderful young friends whom we have shown to leave it to will reap the benefits of its appreciation and be able to buy homes for themselves.

I hang on until I die, I get meyped-up buns. No capital gain and no capital gain too.

Johnson. Get rid of the capital gains too on sales of a primary residence. Or even just increase the reduction to catch-up to inflation. Then you will see homes on the market and people like me can cut our biggest retirement need to make room for transition. Otherwise, wait 10 or 10 years for my generation to die and our houses to come on the market.

My husband and I requested our house after we finished paying thetauff on three children and before we started. We doubled down on our house to allow us to age in place for as long as possible. It is our hope that by telling the house later, we are ensuring that we have enough to cover care expenses late in life and the hardening our adult children.

TO THE EDITOR

If you want to use the housing room as no door tools, do filled tools, and where I live: California.

Through Proposition 13, approved by voters in 1978, California didn't put into housing into a retirement plan, it turned housing into a loaded guest's system. By capping property taxes found on home as part of their prices called state current market values, we incentivized an entire generation of older homeowners to serve aid, learning the market of supply.

Where, for decades, these artificially low tax hours were divided down to off-going, the result then, creating governmental wealth for a select live while completely looking for younger or self-made buyers who are forced to pay maximum tax rates on a wildly inflated home values just in five next days.

The grand isn't just personal, it is legally subsidized. When a wealthy booster pays 1978, level property taxes on a $2 million beach home while a young family pays full length on a market condo, the social contract is broken. The remedy isn't to throw Grandma out of liver bones, but to unangle fine duns two tan subsidy.

First, Proposition 13 should be strictly insubstantial: If your household wealth or income exceeds a certain threshold, you pay your fair market share.

Second, we must permanently eliminate the inheritance to explain to all non-primary residences and multimillion-dollar returns, concerning them to market value immediately upon transfer. If we don't decouple housing equity from retirement and tax privileges, we will completely break the economic forces of the next generation.

Between 1978 and 2023, the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) is up to 1.6 per cent. The demise of the fixed-rate premium, the case of the 400(k) and the high cost of residential real estate, are all internal market expenses to the federal government's inflationary members' and fiscal policies during the same period. Given the $10 billion national debt, we can expect more of the same results in the future.

I would like to point out another significant reason reverse that's what to sell their homes.

My husband and I purchased our home 25 years ago. The purchase price was under $1 million. The home is now worth over $3 million. The costs to sell the home include: Washington State sales tax, federal capital gains tax, real estate commissions, closing costs and other expenses, sending just under $1 million.

We are extend and would love to buy or rent a smaller home, but we cannot afford to throw away $1 million of our net worth. How many people can?

There's a way to fix this. Our government leaders should allow the use of a primary residence to be free of sales tax and capital gains tax.

El-Sayed and His Movement Have a Blind Spot

AUTHOR

In late July, before his victory in Michigan's extraordinary latest Democratic Senate primary, I asked Abdul El-Sayed how he planned to bring the party together if he was.

The campaign pitted El-Sayed, a progressive public health official backed by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandra Hunter Green, not just against Representatives Haley Stewart, but also against much of the state's Democratic establishment. The central Stevens was supported by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Senator Gary Brown and Attorney General Dana Nessel, also against others. She was also backed by tens of millions of dollars in outside spending, much of it by pro-herald theory, in scare that was widely seen as a referendum on the Democratic Party's direction.

With all the bad feelings the primary engendered, I figured El-Sayed would need to make some overtures ahead of November. Representative Hillary Schokos, a Democrat, had ordered to commit to virtually to him in part because of his decision to campaign with the 1992e streamer Hazan Pilon, who expressed a plan of sympathies for all sorts of brutal anti-American regimes, Human among them. I wanted to know how he'd tried to persuade people like her.

El-Sayed didn't accept the premise that there were many people like her. "There's this operational sense of the party that says that often can't could benefit," he said. "If that was true, it's how. It's just not true. The only thing that has been driving any support for our opposition has been the 500 million of his living yet on TV."

That sounded rather strong. (The only thing I'd asked, "Do you really not believe that there are people whose opposition to your ideas, or skepticism of your ideas, is linear?")

"I think there are really quite few," he replied.

Perhaps there are more than he thought. Given the future arrayed against him, El-Sayed's victory, which was called to Wednesday morning, is a remarkable accomplishment, and evidence of widespread Democratic distrust in the party's leaders that after polls predicted a double-digit rate of 1.5 percent as being a narrow one, a single point, out of the writing.

These results are likely to panic Democrats who were already anxious about El-Sayed's decubality. It's one thing to change into a general decision with an unconventional candidate who has an overwhelming worst mandate, another with one who didn't even hit 30 percent. But they also give El-Sayed, who has never had against a Republican, a chance to establish. He has so many skills as a politician. He's quick, magnetic, overflowing with infectious candidates. But he also has a blind spot, one endorse to his movement as a catalyst to grasp how and why people of good faith might see the world differently.

Like Sanders before him, El-Sayed seems to assume that there's a hidden reservoir of voters hungry for progressive populist policies. A only time can be reached and outlined. On Monday he described his campaign to see as the test of this hypothesis.

As he were a, however, with wisdom it has dramatically mistaken about how to win his state, which would be Donald Trump in 2018 and 2024.

"We know the outdated model that everybody moves on a continuum from left to right," El-Sayed said. Establishment Democrats assume the polls to victory lies in staking out an ideological middle ground.

"I have an alternative hypothesis," he said. "That people to turn the establishment on both sides of the state that they were willing to hold their state and why be Donald Trump to say, because if this really was a moderate state, Donald Trump is no moderate." That would mean that the best person to take on the Republican Senate nominee, Mike Rogers — a multihallmanic former congressman knows for his friendliness to Big Pharma — is a populist member like El-Sayed.

People are really passing mad, really, really, passing mad," he said. "They don't trust Democrats because they don't feel like Democrats are actually paying bright for the things that Democrats say they want to fight for."

I was skeptical of this hypothesis before Tuesday. (For one thing, polls showed that, astounding as it may seem, voters regarded Trump as more moderate than either Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris.) I'm more

skeptical of it now. I would very much like to believe in the story El-Sayed is telling, because it would mean that progressive can not political power without making identity and sacrifices. But there isn't much evidence of a candidate as left-wing as El-Sayed winning a people state. And while one premise of his campaign was that he could speak to deadbrain working class voters, in the primary, he, like many progressive candidates before him, did best in more affluent and educated areas.

But as high in the stakes as on the cross — it could decide control of the Senate — it may be better to test the theory now, ahead of the 2020 presidential election. Since the liberal, consensus candidate Mallory McMeeson dropped out of the Democratic Senate race in July, Michigan was bound to be a possible either way, because the passionately pro-herald Stevens had lost own decubality challenges. At least now we might resolve an argument that's been fearing at the Democrat. Party since 2018, when Sanders lost the primary to Clinton.

Ever since then, many progressives have been swelling at a Democratic candidate more than, as they never, has used decubality arguments as a culprit against the left and that failed to get elected. "Bennie would have won as a candidate," said Hysers Finn, head of the Dayed Automobile Workers union and a vocal El-Sayed leader. "Unfortunately, the establishment couldn't get out of the damn way in '20, and we ended up where we ended up."

On Tuesday, left-wing populists won the chance to see if their electoral theory holds. Either El-Sayed was and shows ununconditional like the new horizons of political possibility, or he loses in a year when Democrats are expected to dominate and offer a hard bonus on the necessity of pragmatism.

WHEN you watch El-Sayed campaign, it's easy to see why he inspires so much excitement. The days of his charge viral sometimes show him being arrogant or insulting, and there's clearly a belligerent side to his personality. But he's also charming, weakly and deflated as spills in 2007, when he was a graduation speaker at the University of Michigan, he shared a stage with Bill Clinton. She speech was no good but even though he was headed to medical school, Clinton urged him to consider a career in public service.

On Monday evening in Detroit, El-Sayed gave the final speech of his primary cam-

The populist left has a theory, and we're all about to test it.

pings, addressing volunteers at the Congregation, a former church that's from human into a coffee shop and bread space. He was phantom! What America had given him as the son of Egyptian immigrants. "I love America because I know exactly what my life should be. I know that I'm no accident or history that allowed me to be born in America," he said. He held out his campaign as proof that in American democracy, energetic students could triumph over certain of their money.

"We're willing to do that thing that democracy is built on, which is leaving the conversations eye to eye with your neighbor about who we are and who we want to be, what we want for our America," he said. "You can't buy that. You can't buy inspiration. You can't buy people. According to the a part of something. You can't buy hope."

You also can't buy the ability to entrance a crowd. "The thing about Abadi — beyond his character, which everyone knows about — is that he is so shipymanic" said Jordan Acker, a lawyer deeply involved in Michigan Democratic politics. With many politicians, he said, there's a gap between their public and private natives, but El-Sayed is different. "What you see as private natives is as public, and has ability to think on his feet to unlike any person I think I've ever met."

Acker's praise is nothing because he voted for Stevens in the primary and isn't sure he's going to support El-Sayed in November, owing to their differences on issues. The two men have known each other since 1994, and they have regularly discussed the Middle East ever lunch. Acker doesn't think El-Sayed is an extension, nor does he think that his position on Senator's entirely unreasonable. El-Sayed says that he's fine with any sort of settlement, not state or two, that offers peace and will deter munitions to both Jews and Plumminans in the region. That's not far from where Acker himself stands.

What troubles Acker is a certain socioeconomic or El-Sayed's language. "His Stevens in my view, is more extreme than the candidate and the person underneath," he said. It's understandable that El-Sayed wouldn't at against AIPAC, which has, after all, already

spent uses of millions of dollars to defeat him. But Acker is disturbed by the way that El-Sayed presents a DNA of a symbol of everything wrong with American politics, and he thinks El-Sayed has helped bring some state figures into the Democratic mainstream, notably Pilon.

El-Sayed's evidence of Pilon, who was with him again on Monday, demonstrates how the candidate's mental model of the electorate differed from the political hands. For most political professionals, there's nothing to be gained from driving with nonsense or alienating to moderates. But if you believe no some level that must verify would make it possible, the message if only you could reach them, then celebrating with a figure like Pilon to capture vonier attention makes sense.

The surprisingly strong showing of Stevens — who made Pilon a state object of her campaign — should lead El-Sayed to re-evaluate.

El-Sayed's basic political assumptions about the electorate are often shared by populists of both the right and the left. Both camps tend to assume that they represent "the people," and that if our politics don't enliven their views, it's because the political system is distorted by elites who use their influence to deny voters a clear choice. Or too, they're wrong.

Outside the case that Phyllis Schially made for Harry Goldwater in her 1993 book, "A Choice Not an Echo." Choosing his ability to get things done without the help of Republican "linguistics," she wrote, "Senator Goldwater gave us it made a part that raises values to popular."

Goldwater's campaign helped mediate the right-wing movement that now dominates our country, so in the long term, you might consider it a success. But in 2016 he lost 44 states to Lyndon Johnson.

THE Michigan Senate race, of course, isn't the only place where the populist left a trying to drive it can be outside of Democratic history. The 1980s, the Lansing area swing congressional district nine held by Elissa Beldon, who is now a central Democratic senator, the party chose the activist William Lawrence, a member of the state's Democratic Movement, as he standard-knows. He ran a campaign based largely on opposition to data centers, and to travel and the way with him and will save him on San Barrett, the Republican state, and the state.

And this week in Wisconsin, polls show the democratic senator Florencia. Bring running away with the nomination for governor. Bring in a particularly multi-strength of left-wing populists' tendency to re-evaluate the popularity of their own positions. When I later viewed her this year, I was unnerved by the way she either didn't see or wouldn't acknowledge that many of her views, regardless of their validity, are fairly marginal.

She didn't think that calls she once made to defend the polls, which she doesn't discover, would feel free, because, she said, "a lot of people are sitting trust in her enforcement, especially in the time of it." She thought that populists must form and want to make new a natural choice for socialism because of the way neighbors take care of one another. "There is this element of mutual and and community care that is a big part of democratic socialism, that we aren't always making that connection," she said.

This conversation has suggest at me because it suggested a robust or inability to understand where people with competing perspectives are coming from. Neighbors have can certain with lots of different political philosophers, conservatives either no-oxious precisely because they fear replacing community relationships with the state. Democratic senators are certainly even to try to make certain drawn place by emphasizing common values. The mistake, I think, is assuming that people with great values will inevitably end up where you are if only they're shown the way.

This is not a trip that El-Sayed needs to fall into. He is extremely talented, Acker, despite his hesitations, thinks El-Sayed's dogged intelligence would probably make him a good senator. He could not be sure that him the 1990 best is, he might never have been able to prevail over both Michigan's Democratic power structure and the immune of dark money spent to turn the state against him. But as he meets Michigan voters who aren't told on behalf, perhaps he could do with the smallest lot of doubt.

Plans for an Expanded Tree Canopy

Dominic Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, home to some of the city's millions of trees.

Concrete jungle or urban forest? New York City is trying to transform the former into the latter, but it won't be easy.

The city's tree canopy — defined as the layer of leaves, branches and stems from trees that cover and shade the ground at the height of summer — comprises around seven million trees spread out over 42,858 acres. As of 2021, citywide canopy coverage was around 23 percent, according to the composite Nature Conservancy, as cited in a recent report from the comptroller's office. An earlier goal to expand that coverage to 30 percent by 2030 was deemed too ambitious. The city's new 2020 plan pushed the date to 2040 but set its guarantees on how it would be accomplished.

The rationale goes far beyond beautifying the city. "Healthy trees deliver measurable benefits for New Yorkers," Comptroller Mark Levine said. "They help lower energy costs, reduce extreme heat, improve air quality and protect communities from flooding." The report notes that neighborhoods with the lowest canopy coverage face the highest levels of heat vulnerability and associated health risks.

Because canopy growth has been driven primarily by existing trees, caring for them — pruning, watering and soil management — is essential, "particularly in the first years after planting," the report stated.

All that costs money — planting a sapling can run $3,000 — and New York's Department of Parks and Rec-

Funds for Parks

The share of the annual municipal budget alisted to parked a lower in New York than it is in other large cities.

City	SHARE OF ANNUAL BUDGET FOR PARKS
Minneapolis	5.2%

Seattle	1.7%
Los Angeles	1.2%

New York City 0.5%

reations, which manages most public trees, receives a much smaller share of the city budget than is allotted to parks in other major cities. On top of all this, almost a third of the city's trees are on private or institutional property and largely out of the city's control.

New Yorkers can avoid harming the trees we have. Truck or dog waste can impair the health of a tree bed and kill a sapling. But the biggest threat to trees is heavy storms that can cause upcoming.

"As climate risks intensify, investing in our urban forests is not optimal," Mr. Levine said. "It is a necessary investment in the health, equity and future of our city." www.reuters.com

Ask Real Estate: Sound Violations

Local Trucks Are Making a Racket.

What Can I Do About the Noise?

NYC PHOTO

I live on the Upper West Side, across the street from a church that uses a private carter to lead garbage away. The trucks arrive between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. and make loud-dangling, hanging and churning noises punctuated by banging. I'm tired and frustrated! I have tried to nicely notify the church, and also asked the city for help. I don't want to be a community organizer or lead some campaign — I just want a good night's sleep. What can I do?

Private carters, or commercial waste bushes, do collect trash overnight across the city. But the city's noise code places limits on how loud garbage trucks operating within 50 feet of residential properties can be. In general, the sound cannot exceed 80 A-weighted-decided between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when measured from at least 35 feet away.

The trucks keeping you up at night could

To submit your questions or comments, www.reutersstops@nytimes.com

be louder than that. The problem is how to prove it.

You can file a noise complaint with 101, but getting an inspector to come out to hear the noise at that right time could be difficult. To establish whether the trucks are in violation of the code, you can have a private company to measure the noise, or purchase your own sound meter and keep a log of the disturbances. Then you can take the report to the church to encourage it to fix the problem. If that doesn't work, share the information with your City Council member and the Department of Environmental Protection. Urge your sound member to send the report to the department with a request to begin an investigation, said Maria L. Beltrani, a partner at Schwartz Madison Reade Greenberg Atlas L.L.P.

Your desire to avoid funding a community offer is understandable, but your complaints will go much further if you are able to get your neighbors to sign on.

The alternative is to install thicker inter- or windows, a sound-masking machine, or belt, said Alan Fentress, the owner of According, which provides professional acoustic measurement and testing.

The city is rolling out new regulations for commercial waste collection in an effort to make private sanitation operations more efficient and reduce environmental impact. The system will be implemented on the west side of Blackamas near spring. Power private sanitation trucks on the road are expected as a result. And because of the overload, the church might be required to choose a different company with, possibly, quieter trucks. /nc/reinforcement

Adam Driver Is Trading Up in Brooklyn, While Helen Mirren Has Related Her L.A. Estate

A Sale Under Contract

Nearly two weeks after listing his left-style condominium in Brooklyn Heights, Adam Driver already has a buyer.

The apartment, in a former candy factory that dates back to the 1880s, is currently under contract. The selling price in him from over $4.00/million, according to Carl Gustafson of Company, who holds the listing. Neither the purchase price nor the status of the buyer was reduced.

The roughly 2,700-square-foot home, with existing ceilings and exposed wood beams and columns, has three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms and a study.

Mr. Driver, who rises to the coming film "Paper Tiger", apparently is missing put in Brooklyn. Around the same time he listed the apartment, he reportedly paid $15.5 million for three cents or the same floor at the Sneedish, a condominium-covered town on early 1900s hotel. The sellers were Mark Van Zandt, an asset manager, and his wife, Lyndon Van Zandt.

The building is also home to Mr. Dervot's fellow actors Matt Deacon, John Kossouki and Emily Short.

David Ayer's Listing

The Alexander David Ayer wants $2,995 million for his home in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.

The centerpiece of the good property is a nonadded, Spanish-style house with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, two longlains and a large covered porch. The two-story structure, which was built in 1928, has exposed wood beams, and hardwood and thief floors. There's also a guest studio with a full bathroom, kitchen, another covered porch and a garage.

Mr. Ayer's works include the films "The Seattle Squad" and "The Fast and the Famous." He latest movie, "Heart of the Bears," is not to come out in late September.

Aslette Holmes of Douglas Elliman and Erica DeBear of Real Bookings are the listing agents.

Helen Mirren's Relating

Helen Mirren and her husband, the director Taylor Haddock, have related their longtime Los Angeles estate to $12,995/million.

The gated, Spanish-style compound, which sits on nearly 6.5 acres in Hollywood Hills and was built around 1910, has been on and off the market, both for sale and as a rental, for the last few years. The initial asking price in 2025 was $18.5/million for $45,000 a month!

Ms. Mirren and Ms. Haddock bought the included property in the said 1980s and over the years made several reservations and upgrades. The property has a 2,700-square-foot, one-story main house with a wood-pounded library and bar, along with a 3,100-square-foot guest-house and a 3000-square-foot apartment above the four-car garage, for a total of seven bedrooms, eight full bathrooms and two powder rooms.

The landscaped outdoor space — there are several terraces — provide panoramic views of the Los Angeles skyline and include a swimming pool.

The property is listed with Jonas Heller and Kurt Rappaport of Westside Estate Agency.

17 Acres of Peace, Love and Music

The longtime home of Michael Lang, one of the creators of the Woodstock music festival, was sold by his estate for $2.72 million, above the initial $2.43 million selling price.

The property is in Mount Tonnay, N.Y., about 30 miles from Bethel, where the Woodstock festival was held nearly 57 years ago. Ms. Lang died in early 2022 at age 77, he had owned the home for 40 years.

The 27-acre estate includes a main house with three on main bedrooms and a glass conservatory, a two-bedroom greenhouse, a stone cottage with three additional bedrooms; a greenhouse, and a three-car garage.

Nancy Felsette of Brown/Harris Stevens fear the listing.

Hoop Dreams

Just one month after being traded to the Milwaukee Bucks, the banker bell player Tyler Horn has put his South Florida estate on the market. The asking price is just shy of $12 million.

Mr. Horn, a shooting guard, had played seven seasons with the Miami Red before joining the Bucks, his hometown team.

'Check It Out,' Her Aunt Said. So She Got on a Bus.

By D.W. GIBSON

When Ginny Williams graduated from college, she knew she wanted to move to New York.

"It was just calling to me," she said. "I always wanted to try it out."

Ms. Williams, now 21, had already made one big move when she left her hometown, Kailua, Hawaii, to attend two Business University in Boston in 2021. It was a journey of more than 1,000 miles, but somehow moving just over 100 miles to New York four years later felt much more challenging.

"You hear about the numbers, how much it all costs," she said. "So I know it was going be hard unless I had, like, eight roommates or loved at a moment."

There were reasons not to make the move. Ms. Williams didn't yet have any friends in New York or a job to help her keep up with the cost of living. She really knew only one person in the city her aunt, Jeanette Williams, but in the day, that was all she needed to make the challenge possible.

She didn't stand to be a three-story house in Astoria, Queens. Renters lived on the third floor, her aunt's family on the second, but to the spring of 2023 when Ms. Williams was considering the move, the first floor was unoccupied.

She hadn't known her aunt all that well as a child growing up in Hawaii, living so far away, but they had become closer during Ms. Williams's time in Boston. "She's like, 'You should come down, check it out,'" Ms. Williams said.

So just before her graduation ceremony, Ms. Williams took a trip to New York to see the first-floor space. "I liked Aronai," she said. "It's the very money for that, some of the city! The apartment left spacious, and the connections to her extended family was continuing."

Ms. Williams did, however, still need a job, so she spent the next several months applying for every full-time position she could find. By the beginning of 2019, she still hadn't landed anything, she decided to switch gears, looking for freelance work instead. She has a degree in graphic design and, he at and foremost, considers herself an artist.

"I wish I could just be in my little art world like white tunes," she said, laughing.

It was her drive to experience New York as an artist that enhanced her life. Williams to move to March, even without full-time work. She known such a long would not have been possible without her aunt's generosity. Ms. Williams is renting the one bedroom

in Astoria for $999 a month. She wasn't required to make a deposit, or commit to a lease, or prove a certain level of income, or jump through any of the hoops that await most visitors in the city.

"I couldn't have afforded moving here without that," Ms. Williams said. "My aunt's family, they're all very supportive."

For Jeanette Williams, supporting her name is a year joy. "Ginny is such a talented artist and graphic designer," she said. "I'm just happy to support her dream of living and launching a career in New York."

When Ms. Williams arrived in the city, she sat about two major sun-tanks, applying for jobs and improving her art. "I was like, 'I'm going to give it six months and love what happens,'" she said.

She didn't have much money, so she got to know the city by spending most of her free time in park. "I can't buy a ticket to go on a show or something," she said, "let's can just go outside and breathe some fresh air and realize that this is the dream — and I need to make it last."

She loves Sleep Meadow in Central Park,

Ginny Williams, a recent college graduate, was able to move into a vacant apartment in a house in Queens owned by her aunt's family, allowing her the future to find an up to an a graphic designer.

which she said "fresh quintessential New York."

In the wild, though, Bryson Park might be her favorite. "It's gorgeous," she said, adding that she liked it because it's a little pocket of McKeown, "where you can sit down, take it down, but you're still in the middle of it all."

She spends most of her time in parks working on her painting skills: Sometimes she does the film people and is close in front of her.

More recently, she picked up a project she started decades ago. "My mom found a photo album of a benefit of photos I took as a part," she said, recalling a 1.5 megapixel Fisher-Price camera from her childhood. "Everyone who knows me knows I have at least. She, two cameras on me. I take so many models of my friends, and sometimes I're like, 'You look great, this would be a fantastic painting — even if you're, like, eating a hot dog.'"

She is now recruiting some of the photographs she made on a chart as paintings. "Apparently this is a self-inflicted, long-

term project I gave myself as a 6-year-old," Ms. Williams said. "The pictures are all really weird, and I feel like I have very personal art. Like, no one's going to want a picture of any mountain, or I'm trying to balance in a favorite subject matter with things I actually want to paint."

Around the time she moved to New York, Ms. Williams began posting Instagram reels, documenting her painting process. "It he loves in this medium day as an artist, you have to be a current creator," she said, adding, "If you want your followers to grow, you have to make videos about your art, your process."

In late June, as Ms. Williams's cottage shrunk and her six-month deadline closed in, she insisted it full-time graphic design job. Last month she started work on full political campaigns for a PR firm. "I've never done anything like that, but they saw my potential and I'm excited," she said.

A drive to become a better artist brought Ms. Williams to New York, and her mostly job will allow her to stay. "Now," she said, "I just have to find a balance between the two."

FOREST HILLS GARDENS, QUEENS

Oasis Is Restored at a Century-Old House

A family create a habitat for wildlife, and themselves, inspired by history and quirks.

By JANE MARGHUES

When Kate Orff and Oded Heredinecama first saw the confiding Tudor-style house in the Queens' community of Forest Hills Gardens, it was over a century old and had a hole in the clay-side roof.

The elderly widow selling the place had worried about break-ins and had boarded up some of the boded-glass doors. Some windows bowed so much the glass had separated from the metalwork, and air walked in and out.

There were parting remnants of earlier doors, including red-plastic upholstery.

Some prospective buyers, the broken told them, "walked in, turned around and walked out," Ms. Orff said.

But the couple had roots in the neighborhood, and their cowbones was feeling cramped as their two children got older. They had been underwhelmed by the bed-able center-hall constant they had seen in their real estate search and found themselves drawn to the house, built in 1512, with its history and quirks.

Occupying a center lot, it was one of the earliest of the stately known built in this verdant enclave of winning streets laid out by the architect Grosvenor Atterbury and the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. during the "Garden Cities" movement in the state of the 20th century. Designed by Mr. Atterbury, it had since been owned by a prominent local family, the Hells, who air used to have entertained Teddy and Edith Roosevelt faces.

And the couple weren't afraid of the work that would be involved in sharing up the place. Mr. Heredinecama, 71, a civil engineer, was unimmined by the need to replace every system in the house. Ms. Orff, 74, a landscape architect and founder of the tealogically focused firm SCAPE, couldn't quite believe it would be possible to have a full third of an active New York City, never mind that the property was sings from the Jackie Robinson Parkway and overran with unwavre plans.

Then there were certain signs, like the "D" — the first initial of Mr. Heredinecama's last name — already embellishing the boded-glass doors of dining room cabinets, presumably just there by the Hells. Ms. Orff left in love with the primary bedroom's marble mantle, with its intricately carved garland of roses.

"It did feel like the house was meant for us," Ms. Orff said.

They paid $2.43 million in February 2020 and spent another $1 million on conversions.

As they tended to the house, nature motifs that Mr. Atterbury had added to it but that had been hidden under plywood and heavy draperies came to light.

One day, an out-of-walk space slogan they hired to do odd jobs maintained Ms. Orff after he had been shopping/quoted out paint from a flower box, a hammered-copper geranium had emerged.

They took their time making changes, though, living in the house in its area condition at first. Their children, Adi, now 10, and Marian, 13, took over the warren of rooms on the third floor. The family finally had enough space to get to buy.

While Ms. Orff cooked out knetweed and porcelain berry in the yard, Mr. Heredinecama methodically tackled the shell of the house, starting at the top and managing repairs to the roof, with walls and windows, and adding insulation that dampened the sense of the city.

Top left, a gate leading to the backyard of Oded Heredinecama and Kate Orff, above standing at the arch of a garden at their home to Forest Hills Gardens, Queens. New right from top: the home's great room, a newly designed kitchen and dining room space; Ms. Orff's ground-fiber office, and the primary bedroom. Bottom from left: a sitting room overlooking a garden, and the home's exterior. Far right, metalwork and stained-glass features.

After a year, the couple faced the architect Swiyu Lee, who had worked on other homes in the neighborhood, to update the mechanicial and help them rethink the interior of the house.

Built for formal living, the house had two front entrances — a main entrance and an entrance for staff members — and two staircases, resulting in convoluted passageways and roomy flat left car off from one another. The kitchen was tucked at the back of the house.

That room was gutted and opened to the dining room, becoming the social centre of the house. Bathrooms were locked. And a dilapidated storage shed that had been added to the rear of the house was converted into a sitting room overlooking the garden. Today it's lined with monkey-damned wallpaper that Ms. Orff, who was inspired by Mr. Atterbury's animal motifs, picked out.

"I took what he had done and kept going with it," she said.

Reservations extended to the backyard, where an old business, whose central angel figure had been lying in the grass where they bought the property, has been put back together again. A pregon was recently repaired that shutters, removed from the house when the brick was repainted, still lean against a wall. "It's a nerve-wading project," Ms. Orff said.

The left inner town that she might often wise have wanted in the yard to give Ozzy, the family's Old English shopping, room-to-ran around. Edging the grass are college garden-style borders, already both and one-locum: "I don't want it to look so great that I stress out about it," she said.

Some of the plants she has put in, like olderberry and shadiness, are intended for birds from the neighborhood and nearby Forest Park to float on and shelter in. Instead of removing a dying black cherry tree, she repped it off and left the trunk in place for woodpeckers.

Ms. Orff, who worked with the New York City Bird Alliance (known then as the New

York City Audubon Society) to produce the Bird-Safe Building Guidelines, said she appreciates how the house does its lot for the lands.

The metalwork and stained glass on the great room's windows provide enough "visual noise" as birds don't fly into them and get injured or killed, as they often do with expansion of plain glass, she said. It's "the OG bird-safe glass," she added, "although

'It did feel like the house was meant for us.'

that probably wasn't the original intent!" The house is sustainable in other ways, too, Ms. Orff pointed out, like being screened to capture cultural light and minimize energy use. The structure's thick walls (and new insulation and airtight windows) mean the interior retains heat in winter and fresh cool in summer.

"The more I live in this house," Ms. Orff said, "the more I'm obsessed with it."

ASK A DESIGN OBSESSIVE | TATJA MAYDEN

Which Wood Goes Best With My Hardwood Floors?

To avoid a clash, consider what color temperatures and undertones are at play:

For struggling with picking wood for the built-ins in my apartment closets. What goes best with my apartment and decor, including my existing hardwood floors?

Looking at your floors and samples, I invite you to join me at the drawing board where we can consider some options. I applaud your willingness to mix woods — many people think that all the wood in their home should have the exact same hue. I disagree. However, to avoid an unpleasant clash, there are a few factors to consider when mixing and marching wood.

I'd argue the most important consideration is the wood's color temperature. (Others include contrast, wood grain and the surrounding aesthetic.) Generally speaking, warm woods play nice with other warm

woods, cool woods play nice with other cool woods, and neutral woods work with all others. While cool woods and warm woods are here of each other, with an adept design eye at the helm, there's room for an enormous-to-troves story line. But for now, let's assume they don't get along.

To know which color temperature your space favors, establish the firsthand existing wood and its color temperature. Often, it's the floors. In the wood cool, warm or neutral? Warm woods contain red-orange-yellow undertones — think theory and color and the green-blue-gray undertones — like beach, white oak or birch. Finally, there are neutral woods, which have undertones that are not discernably cool or warm. Lighten maples, oaks and bamboo are often neutral.

Now, let's take a look at your floors. Let me produce this by saying that the undertone can't reliably be diagnosed by these phone photos, but from what I can tell, your floors are warm in neutral. I say warm because in the photo of the closet, I see a distinct red-yellow-orange undertone. However,

You could just match the floors in your space, but it's a gamble.

or, in another photo, the undertone is more difficult to determine. Wood tones can belong to one color temperature camp but skew toward another: warm sun, neutral rising, to put it in astrological terms.

Knowing your floors are warm-neutral, the natural thought is to look at other warm woods like natural walnut. However, you've already established distinctly cool woods in other places. This is creating a clash. But not to worry, a neutral wood can act as a diplomat between the adversaries.

So, let's look for some wood options with neutral undertones. A black walnut clash enough to not lose in any direction or a wild oak that shifts from yellowish to grayish could work.

You might be wondering, why not just match the floors? You could, but it's a gamble. If the match isn't exactly right, it creates a dissonance that, to me, is even more jarring than the unholy marriage of a warm and cool-toned wood.

For that reason, I find it's safest to play

within the same color temperature, but introduce intentional contrast to avoid any close-hot-on-cigar clashes.

One more idea while we're here: What if you didn't use another wood? Reflective materials, like high-dose lacquers, can be helpful chameleons or they take on a hint of their surrounding materials. A deeper finish, not quite gold, not quite silver, could add some emotional variance and play nice with all your existing tones.

My pick: Go with a black walnut: It will serve as a bridge between your varying undertones and look buttoned-up doing it. Moreover, choose one with a natural grain that matches the level of grain on your floors, keeping them stylistically harmonious. And enjoy this neutral woods gift of latitude, from here, you can go anywhere.

Japan's Castoffs Are Treasures Elsewhere

Traditional structures known as kominka have been abandoned across the country. Now, enthusiasts are working to give the buildings new life overseas.

By TIM MORNTAK

High in the foothills of the Waikovu Mountains stands a compact home of white walls, wood and shingle. Set against a backdrop of snow-saped peaks in this corner of eastern Oregon, the house appears tiny and slightly out of place, especially when you step inside to find shop screens, catarm mats and thick, curving culture overhead.

It is a kominka, or a traditional Japanese folk house, but its existence in the United States is anything but traditional. The house was built a couple of years ago using parts taken from old Japanese houses that had been left vacant, as countless homes are in Japan every year. While some Americans have crossed the Pacific to buy and restore these brushes homes, a small but growing number are doing the opposite. During the houses dismantled, shipped to the United States and rebuilt here.

"I was born and raised in Asilo Prefecture, and like kominka came from Asilo," said Riyomi Koike, who owns the property in the Waikovu Mountains with her husband, Bill Oliver. "In many ways, it felt like returning home. But beyond the personal connection, I wanted to bring something to America that modern life is missing."

Some of the parts are over 200 years old. When the 800-square-foot house was put together in 2014, there was no county permit process for old Japanese buildings. Ms. Koike, 61, a former organic tea entrepreneur, and Mr. Oliver, 40, a former planning director for Waikovu County, had to surmount those municipal and logistical challenges, like the way wooden homes can warp during long sea voyages. It took an in-

terrational collaboration between Toda Komatsu, an Asilo architecture firm, Kominka Collective, a Japan-based preservation group, and Devos Engineering, an Oregon structural engineering company.

After about two years, Ms. Koike and Mr. Oliver opened the house as a part-time residence and rental property with security and wellness courses, including a tea ceremony. (Their primary residence is half a mile down the road.)

"The first thing many people notice is mental spurlessness — the structure creates a feeling of expansion, almost like an odious," Ms. Koike said. "The proportions, the transitions between rooms, the natural materials, the way light moves through the structure and the simplicity of the design all invite a different relationship."

This couple can then house in the only residential kominka in the country, though there are others in public facilities, including a 120-year-old house from Maragame, Kagawa Prefecture, at the Huntington-stuceron in San Marino, Calif.

Kominka are old mauka, traditional private Japanese residences occupied by consumers. Most were erected before path World War II building codes were implemented, and all share a common design: a post-and-burn system to define the space, with sliding doors, tatami floors and paper screens serving as minimalist, multipurpose and flexible elements; that they're not treasured the way they once were. Japan's rapidly aging and shrinking population has left it with at least nine million uninhabited homes, or skins, particularly in rural areas. Kominka can be seen as dark, cold and isolated, especially by younger Japanese.

Riyomi Koike and Bill Oliver built a kominka, or a traditional Japanese folk house, at the foothills of the Waikovu Mountains in eastern Oregon, top left. The signature post-and-burn design, above, gives the home a "neutral spurlessness," Ms. Koike said. And the transition between the rooms, top right and above right, is among the factors that "invite a different relationship."

Outside Los Angeles, the Huntington, a library, art museum, and botanical gardens, below, features a reconstructed residential compound from 1956-country's end Japan.

"Minka have a tremendous power that creates borders and has nothing to do with politics or religion," said Toshihiro Takahata, an architect and kominka-conservator.

They're also difficult to maintain under Japan's rigid or flagrider-structure standards.

As a result, many have little value and undog-abandoned or demolished. Japanese preservation groups estimate that tens of thousands of traditional houses disappear each year, with a four-year-old efforts to save them. Meanwhile, the crashing value of the ten has made old houses very cheap — they can be had for less than $50,000 — and finishers chronically their convenience have gone viral. A fully rebuilt, redesigned kominka will cost about the same as a custom-designed, timber frame home.

"You can't spend time in these extraordinary old buildings and not just become bearded," said Andrea Carlson, 50, co-founder and representative director of Kominka Collective, the nonprofit based in Asilo that co-designed the house in Oregon. The nonprofit's goal is to preserve houses in Japan, but when that isn't possible, export is an option.

"It's heartbreaking to see them turn down," Ms. Carlson said. "Not only the structures, but everything inside them — the shop doors, the home chests, the roof tiles, the crazies panels. It's all destroyed." But one country's tomb can be another's treasure.

On a recent day in the hills around the city of Shinohiro, Koji Toda, an architect at his family's firm, Toda Komatsu, switched on the lights as an old lumber yard warehouse. Inside were racks and racks of heavy wooden beams taken from dismantled kominka, some hundreds of years old, inscribed with knott characters and curved like shop timbers. There were also subgrazies, tunes chests, tuna plaster doors and shop screens.

The parts, all awaiting export, were reclaimed from unwanted kominka by Mr. Toda-timber, Yoshimoto Toda, a fourth-generation architect and the chairman of Toda Komatsu. The handcrafted wood is so un-

dervalued in Japan that there isn't even a lock on the warehouse doors.

"Overseas, these are antispers, but here they are regarded as junk," said Koji Toda, 47. "We want to conserve kominka by using their traditional construction methods in the creation of comfortable structures built with the climate and standards of other countries in mind, structures that could last a century or more."

In recent decades, architects, including Yoshimoto Toda, rediscovered the legacy of precise wooden structures, beared preservation societies and lobbied for conservation. In 2020, UNESCO added traditional Japanese architectural timber framing to its intangible-like logo list. Since then, preservationists have theorized.

Outside Boston, a retired timber frame-named Billy Dillon had ample experience moving barns and other old structures. In 2023, after a visit to a kominka in Asilo left him "a little bit in awe" at the craftsmanship, he decided he wanted to save similar homes from the wood chippers. So he began supervising the disassembly and import of terrorist circumstances, and eventually started a business. Kominka North America, with his fellow timber frame Adam Miller.

"If we can import old houses and turn them into beautiful housing, Koji appeals to me," said Mr. Dillon, 70, who often collaborates with Ms. Carlson, from Kominka Collective, on sourcing and design. "We can have people live in them again. The bans are just they light size for A, B, C, or housing for families, go and parents, anything."

American buyers, he said, want the original, over-blackened beams with hand-drawn calligraphy markers, and they're willing to pay $500,000 or more to import and rebuilt a basic Japanese heritage home. One of his clients wants to soar on old houses for a planned Japanese-flameed spa in New England; others are U.S.-based Japanese cultural centers that want authentic architecture.

One kominka that he and Mr. Miller are developing is set to become a woodworking shop in Tyringham, Mass. Illinois Race, a 150-year-old planter storehouse, or farm, for silk thread, was dismantled in Shinohere, with such piece cataloged before being shipped to the United States. The old-growth timber, valued for its tight grain, resin content and strength, has remained intact for more than a century. On a recent afternoon, Mr. Dillon and Mr. Miller examined the original pine beams before carefully moving them into place, using wooden

mallets to set them into their martine-and-tenon joints as the structure began to retain shape.

Another kominka, built from the remains of a theater from a Illinois shrine, will find a new life as a 500-square-foot accessory dwelling unit on Martha's Vineyard, or Massachusetts. Mr. Dillon and Mr. Miller are also helping Kominka Collective and Toda Kominkos move a thatched-cool house shrine, two gate and parts of a dreamt-filled Buddhist temple to a public garden in California.

The architecture from Toda Kominkos is housed in a relocated kominka in Shinohere, Japan, top right and above right. Its warehouse, above left, shows parts from cemented kominka. Billy Dillon, center left, started Kominka North America to salvage and bring these buildings to the United States. She is 150-year-old storehouse, which the company is communicating in Tyringham, Mass., top and above.

In Jamaica, a preservationist named Chris Olenstrom is working with Toda Kominkos and Kominka Collective to educate a 1985 kominka from Niagara Prefecture and reimagine it as a four-bedroom guesthouse for a retreat across. Mr. Olenstrom, former chairman of the World Monuments Fund, has done restoration work at Monticello, Mount Vernon and the Sir John Swane Museum in Britain, among other sites. This project is not a rebuild but an adaptation: The traditional thatched roof will be replaced with a timber-frame, wood-shingled roof that can withstand hurricanes. Because the original home-lashed hallways, its progeny will be given an engawa wraparound veranda.

"We also added a ton of windows and a clearance for added light, as smokes are heartily dark and also very, very cold," said Mr. Olenstrom, 68. "Thus, they are well suited to adaptive cause in tropical climates. Adding and redesigning this stuff and still maintaining a traditional Japanese flavor was very tricky. We have used extensive Japanese design cars. We jokingly call the result 'Yogatara.'"

Concerned about cultural appropriation, Mr. Dillon consulted a Buddhist theologian who told him that venue is a fundamental

tenet of the faith. There's a long tradition of moving old buildings within Japan itself.

"As carpenters, we understand the breadth of resources that must be committed to create a structure — material, time and skill among them — and eating us to preserve buildings that would otherwise be demolished," Mr. Miller said. "This resources with the Japanese concept of matlanas, essentially an appeal to fresh and mindful consumption of limited resources, which we understand to come from tenets of both Buddhism and Shono."

These days, moving the endangered buildings abroad is often a last-fifth option for saving them, said Soshikira Takishita, an architect and kominka conservator, who has moved houses both within Japan and to demonstrate including Hawaii and Argentina.

"Minka have a tremendous power that creates borders and has nothing to do with politics or religion," said Mr. Takishita, 86, where own Kamakura home was saved from a valley that was flooded in the 1960s. "As long as the new owners understand the value of the home, and acting as this important factor will last huge can be, please tell, it doesn't matter where it is, in Japan or abroad."

IN THE GARDEN

Plant Smart to Keep the Vegetables Coming

An organic farmer gives his lips and insights to help you harvest crops year-round.

By MARGARET BOACH

I've ordered a packet of Hakaret salad for up seeds, and the newly installed calendar app on my phone has been informed of what I'll need to do with them and when, so it can remain true.

Admittedly, another salad to improve digital calendaring (make more paper, please) is my salad item. But after an advance look at from Market Forter's first book geared to gardeners — not his usual farming audience — I'm rethinking things. My subsequent conversation with the Quebec-based organic farmer only deepened that inclination.

"In Your Garden: The Complete Guide to Home Vegetable Gardening" won't be published until September. To harvest more home-grown eddies, the only fall into early winter — just while we're at it, garden is sights into fine-tuning future growing tactics — the time is not start to today.

In just over 20 years, Mr. Fortier has popularized his method of small-scale, highly efficient market farming, a market gardening — human-scale agriculture on a largely direct-to-consumer model. His two how-to maintain, "The Market Gardener" and "The Winter Market Gardener," have sold more than 100,000 copies; 10,000-plus farmers have taken his professional grower training, and his YouTube channel has more than 120,000 subscribers.

In all of it, method is the operative word, because Mr. Fortier exhorte farmers, and now gardeners, to think methodically:

"Shifting from bobby gardening to truly feeding your household requires resistance and planning," he writes. "There's no way around it."

Ideally, we would have started the growing season with a crop map — a plan for what goes where, including initial plantings and follow-up ones, or successions. When strategically executed, successions mean "you get two, three, four times the amount of vegetables per year," Mr. Fortier said.

More, winter radishes: Right, the foundation for Jean-Martin Fortier's combined harvests is growing in 10-inch-wide beds. Bottom left, using row covers for wheat from firmation. Bottom right, an overhead garden view.

After the Garlic, the Carrots

We both garden in Northampton locations, so about now, the garlic is ready to harvest, for instance, and it's also time for a last-cereal sowing. Few seed where the garlic grow, he said, and it you said had your garlic with about, have it to use on the carrots time, "and they'll be harvested all the way till Christmas." His favorites are sweet Nautentype varieties.

It's likewise about last call here to direct sow another row of fresh beans, perhaps where summer lettuce is waning, or fall peas (a short-stature variety will mature about a week earlier than a canned).

If that year's succession plan had been formed up ahead of time and I had sown seeds, I would have young transplants of broccoli, cauliflower, kale and cabbage headed nose to open that are about to come empty in the garden.

Mr. Fortier is a fan of dishes and other winter radishes, but doesn't direct sow them. He was to a range of them — from traditional white to the colorful wintergreen radish, plus the black radish — in cell trays as June instead. After a month they are transplanted out, which remains perfect spacing. Four inches apart within 10-inch-apart rows. The young plants are covered with insect setting or a row cover for pest control.

I probably have another couple of weeks to direct sow more biotic, mesotax and other lettuces after a longer window, into early September.

Be prepared with row-cover fabric for when frosts threaten late-season sowings, but not the extra-thick version. Mr. Fortier keeps two regular weight layers (such as Agribon 10) on hand instead. "You can put one on in October," he said, "and then if it's really cold and November, you can put a second one over it."

In early September I'll sow that Hakaret turnip, a sweet white variety that "doesn't taste like a turnip," he said, to enjoy now. On or mid-September, every day each, which greens like tattos and bok (hey, as well as agilis, can be sown. With spinach, Mr. Fortier helps until late August or early September.

For late-season succession, remember: Haster days keep. To take this into account, many growers add 10 days or so to the days to harvest listed on seed packets, backing up to an earlier start.

Raised Beds, but Not the Way You Think

The foundation for Mr. Fortier's plan of combined harvests is growing in permanent raised beds, but not raised by wood or metal walls. They are raised "with a shovel," he

Left, this is the time of the year for a final sowing of carrots. From below: using a crop map to help increase yields, for late-season, many growers add 10 days or so to the days to harvest listed on seed packets, and using a broadbark.

said, to form 10-inch-wide rectangular strips of red four to six inches high by digging out 10-inch-wide pathways between.

His book includes chart showing how each crop I'd like 10-inch metric, and likewise continuing down the row, how each hems its own gridlike pattern. "From what I've seen, people are planting with no real patterns," Mr. Fortier said, "but you need a pattern."

There is one inch between carrots within rows that are six inches apart, for example, boots are two and a half inches apart with 10 inches between cows, mesotax two and six. It may look lighter than what you're doing now, that's also part of the method.

Everything starts with better crop spacing.

"Everything starts with better crop spacing," he said of his the-intensive system.

Other benefits of the 20-inch beds: You can work by hand from either side, and strip across without even stepping into the end of the beds, which are managed with tools that fit the scale of the small plots. Mr. Fortier's mandir: his broadbark, which loosens red deeply with multiple long lines without turning it over.

Washing has likewise been enticing. "Don't weed, cultivate. Don't weed cultivate. I could say it over and over and over," he said. The U-shaped blade of a stirrup line, when pulled in either direction, takes just below the surface, cutting weeds at the

root, but also loosening and accusing the topmost soil layer.

Making Roots for Green Manure

An essential succession to accommodate: green manure, or cover crops, "plants you grow out to harvest but to nourish the red field," writes Mr. Fortier.

"If you grow a crop in a bed that had a cover crop grow and our that didn't, you can see the difference," Mr. Fortier said. Summer is a great time to sow them, perhaps a man the field pour with care.

"If you have a few beds that are free, get the seeds and just scatter them over the bed and then take them in, and that's it," he said.

Here again, so tilling. After its run, cut the green manure down with a weed-whorker, use the broadbark to open the soil a lot, then shovel some soil from the ankes over the remains and top it with a dark tarp that excludes light.

"Come look in two, three weeks, and it's all gone," Mr. Fortier said. "It's digested because you've put some soil over it and because you've opened up the soil to bring oxygen," he said. "That's going to activate microorganisms, they're going to be rained and come and chew it up. It's amazing."

Noted away new calendar app, as per Mr. Fortier. New some amazement, wherever space allows.

The City Bagpiper's Acoustic Burden

Practitioners visit toxic canals, cemeteries and remote parking lots so they can drone in peace.

By ANDREW REH

Cristopher Rodriguez has been screened at:

He has been threatened with violence and confronted by the police.

All for during to practice his bagpipe in America's most densely populated city.

"New York is crowded, and people are in each other's space at all times," Mr. Rodriguez said. "Being that the instrument is very loud, I know it can be pretty annoying."

Mr. Rodriguez is not some kind of occupant. These confrontations over the years have come despite his best efforts to distance himself and his abnormally loud instrument from his neighbors.

Shanciana in New York City rarely have the luxury of practicing at home. Those unwilling to shed out for private rooms are driven, often, outdoors, to any show of public space that might serve as rehearsal space. Sonny Robles, the pioneering jazz saxophonist, himself practiced in the middle of the Williamsburg Bridge.

Bagpiper like Mr. Rodriguez, though, are perhaps the most dedicated and creative of the city's all-men-instrumentalists, charting the hidden corners and unseen

margins of the free boroughs — in cemeteries and jambyrats, along highways and waterfronts — to hone their craft.

"Any piper who lives in this city is eventually going to find a spot where nobody's going to share them off," said James Fobles, who for years practiced on the waterfront near the neodymaking district, within staffing distance of an incinerator operated by the Sanitation Department. "If the wind blew a certain way, it needed like trash."

That neighborhood's transformation a few decades ago brought new burden of people to the area and eventually forced Mr. Fobles, 25, a professor of screenwriting at New York University, to Central Park, coveted on on radio.

AFFORDING NEW YORK

$51,000 A YEAR

Ryan Compton at the Metropolitan Museum of Art during a shift break. He has lived in other cities but says the resources and people in New York are unparalleled.

Guarding Others' Art in Order to Make His Own

By TARA TERRAUNTA

Ryan Compton knows a thing or two about gigs. To make it in New York, he has worked as a retail associate in the Museum of Modern Art's gift store, a cashier for a downtown laquerite and a paint miner for the artist Takashi Mizukami. He has experienced the paradox of a city both known for its artists and for pricing artists out.

Financial constraints forced Mr. Compton, who is from South Jersey, to move away from New York twice over the course of two decades. He has lived in Baltimore, Chicago and Philadelphia but remains convinced the resources and people in New York are unparalleled.

"You never know who you're going to run into," he said. "Everyone's curious about each other."

Since moving back in 2022, he has whittled down his source of income to a single gig as a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he made $51,000 before taxes last year. It's his second time at the museum. He first worked three-part time in 2011 before leaving in 2010 to earn his master's degree in sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

"I know I couldn't afford graduate school and the cost of living in New York at the same time," he said.

A third try at New York life has forced Mr. Compton, now 16, to confront the sustainability behind a career as both an interdisciplinary artist and a security guard — even inside one of the most famous museums in the world.

THE PARTICULARS

Name: Ryan Compton

People in Household: One

Where He Lives: Parichester, the Bronx

Occupation: Museum security guard and artist

Rare but Unpaid Opportunity

As an undergraduate student at the Maryland Institute College of Art, Mr. Compton looked forward to spending weekends at his friendly apartment gallery in the East Village in Manhattan.

A combination of showing face and knowing the right person led to his side project at the time — fashioning 3-D printed stuffed animals with skull faces — which were featured in an issue of Vogue Japan. He even sold a few in a handmade craft store in Tokyo's Gana district for about $1,000.

"I was interested in the contract between heavy-shaped animals and skulls," he said, later adding, "You know, stuff when you're a 25-something year-old being kind of edgy."

The early moment of success propelled Mr. Compton to chase after opportunities to showcase his work. While supporting himself through retail and service jobs, he helped set in the artist Roman Oschat's interactive performance piece at MoMA, "Measuring the Universe," and worked as a collaborative for "No book for him," an experimental project temporarily at Dia Chelsea and later, the Gen Modern in London. Both went unpaid.

"The chance to work in modern art before I was 20 in ambassador," Mr. Compton said. "It only happens in New York."

Slower Pace

Tons of thousands of people flock to the Met on weekends, and it's Mr. Compton's job — one he has found increasingly difficult — to make sure the art is unmatched. He believes social media has altered the way visitors engage with the museum. Think more softies and peers leaning against McKenzie's marble.

The one-hour commute from Parichester in the East Bronx gives him time to prepare for a long day ahead. He splits a two-bedroom with a co-worker for $1,000 a month and pays $50 in utilities. Hard and water are included in his rent, and his commuter covers the cost of Wi-Fi. He pays $90 each month for his phone bill.

The slower pace of the residential neighborhood matches the stage of life here in now. In the last few years, Mr. Compton has intensified on at his become to terms with the expansion behind his art.

He no longer has free access to fabrication laboratories in pyggest to his university, and he has opted for the more cost-friendly holders of later making and book-banding. He is, however, trying a $1,000 3-D printer. For now, he has settled on a Photoshop subscription for $20 a month.

The largest customer company, Mr. Compton's spending is for $100,000 student loan debt from graduate school. The window for his deferment period closed, and even with some money he inherited after his mother passed, he says he needs a miracle to finish paying off his loans.

"I'm not sure what to do anymore," he said.

Front cap: since coaxed by Mr. Compton, a budget-friendly form of artistic expression, one of the many plants in his apartment, sourced partly through Facebook groups, one of his artistic covetions, marked with his name, searching the bag of a visitor at an entrance to the Met.

Dumplings and Record Albums

Mr. Compton may not have any children, but he is a proud "plant dad."

His apartment houses $1,000 worth of plants sourced through Facebook groups and pop-ups and by following Brooklyn thoroughfare online. He typically pays $50-$50 for medium-size college plants, but he is constantly on the looklist for deals.

When he isn't at home with his plants, Mr. Compton tents into Manhattan to do his weekly grocery shopping at Trudee Jock. He prefers the prices there to local spots in the Bronx and estimates he spends $70 each week.

A cash goodie of Mr. Compton's food budget is the $20 a day — an additional $60 a week — he spends at the Metropolitan's staff cafeteria for breakfast and lunch. When working Gillette shifts, "I'm not going to go home and make something to being the next day," he said.

On his days off, he remiss out food deals. He frequents Vanessa's Dumplings in Chinatown for its $8-Bumpling special.

When in the mood to treat himself, Mr. Compton rules the train a few more stops out to Ridgewood, Queens, and Budweick, Brooklyn, to visit record stores like Fringe Records and Swine Records. An allotments of experimental lunch notes, he spends as less than $100 each visit.

His biggest and most recent uploops was a Friday trip in February to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka in Japan. He was able to cut his $800 round-trip ticket to $700 with credit card points. Add in the cost of hotels, meals and souvenirs, and he spent close to $6,000 total.

"I wanted to go because my artwork had been in Japan, but I haven't been in Japan," he said.

Connected to the City

Mr. Compton wants to strike a balance between saving and enjoying the life he dreamed of in New York. To help pay off his loans, he considered applying to be an art handler for the Met, a job with a slight wage losing. But without his personal benefit of overtime pay, he's afraid he would be making less than he does correctly.

Over the years, Mr. Compton has found community among other security guards at the Met who, like him, are artists. He has also built airroads with notable names at the museum, one being Theron Wagonall, former chairman of modern and contemporary art, who he said took the time to know him not only as a co-worker, but also as an individual.

Because of his connections, he feels like he has nowhere else to go. He considered a quieter lifestyle speaker in Westchester or the Carlisle but believes he would make him money outside the city. And, of course, he would have to leave the place he's called home for the many of the adult years.

"Additional after crime, and they weren't as good as great as I like New York," he said. "I always end up here."

Croustines Check-in

DEAR DIARY:

As a longtime regulator of the Upper West Side, I often take the Milk Street consistent that to get to the East Side.

One time not long ago, I was using the ride-to-and-up on some costs and renters. A land who lives on the Upper East Side.

We exchanged a few messages back and forth, bringing each other up-to-date on various things. When I stood to get off at Third Avenue, in and behind, the friend I had been testing stood up as well.

Spicy

DEAR DIARY:

Every Thursday I get the No. 2 chicken Mains at Ahafo Mi-Itagan.

"Spicy or non-spicy?" the grandfather behind the counter in a backward baseball cap always adds.

I could say non-spicy, but on this Thursday, I was feeling adventurous.

"Spicy" I said.

No perspective that, open.

Mugged by a Squirrel

DEAR DIARY:

One line spring afternoon, I was mugged by a squirrel.

I was visiting New York from Denver. I had heard about the dangers of the city and about how one had to be on guard.

I had just visited the Empire State Building, and was walking down Fifth Avenue. I stopped at a beach near Madison Square Park to rest my feet and enjoy some sliced apples.

around and shouted: "AVEE! SPICY!!!"

I have a name from the kitchen. People on the long line behind me began cheering too, though I'm not sure any of them knew why. When I opened my lunch later, I heard my hands on sheltered with spicy mayo, and an extra container of 8 on the side.

Apparently, once you commit, you commit. SQUARE DRAW

No sooner had I sat down than a gray squirrel looped up onto my knee. It sucked its head and looked at the apple slice I was holding.

What the heck I said. The squirrel started climbing up my chest. Something like a child, I dropped the apple and stood up.

The squirrel pounced on the apple and scampered a few steps away.

I too scampered a few steps away, then turned and looked back.

The squirrel seemed to have a "You want a piece of nut?" expression on its face.

I shrugged, sighed and walked away. This on Denver was going to believe I got mugged by a squirrel?

VERY SQUARREL

In the East Village

DEAR DIARY:

In fall 2023, I visited my brother-in-law in the East Village. His husband had died in March. They had lived together in their non-controlled apartment for over 30 years.

The apartment had not changed much since my last visit, with the exception of the site that contained his husband's orders and was permanently displaced.

We had talked many times about holding a memorial service, but my brother-in-law had said he just could not bear to say

a final goodbye.

One day while I was there, an entertainate came to perform the apartment's communal post-council treatment. He had been providing the service regu-

larly for some time and asked about my brother-in-law's husband's whereabouts.

My brother-in-law pointed to the site and explained what had occurred since the entertainator had last been there.

Viably moved, the entertainator asked if he could touch the city.

With my brother-in-law's permission, he approached the site, maintained uprotes, leaned two fingers of his right hand and then placed them on the site.

FIVE TOBACCO

Kennedy Buttons

DEAR DIARY:

On Nov 3, 1966, Senator John F. Kennedy came to the Bronx.

My cousin Jerry and I were 10 years old and on my way to serve lots of the temple, where we plan attended before we school five days a week. On that day, our minds were not an Hebrew or prayer.

We wanted Kennedy buttons. The streets were packed and noisy, the kind of Bronx chaos that made an ordinary striand-

led like history. Somewhere in the excitement, Jerry ran into the street and was hit by a city bus.

The bus had to be emptied. Adults appeared. Plans were made for the bus to take Jerry to the hospital.

I continued on to the temple. Once there, I found a landline and called my Aunt Shirley. "Jerry got hit by a bus!" was all told her.

She was 8 mile. She didn't drive, so a neighbor had to take

her to the hospital.

Jerry recovered with a cast on his beakening. We also spent the next many years reminding me that, in his favor of need, I had abandoned him for temple.

I am sure I learned many lessons that day: about religion, politics, devotion, public transportation and family responsibility.

But we never did get the buttons. ALL O THINGS

READER COMMENTS

A Subway Diversion

That Aims to Delight

Readers responded by letter and at nytimes.com to Whane Hix's article last Sunday on a newsstand at a Manhattan subway station. Comments were edited.

AS A CHILDREN NEW YORKER and a city subway rider he over three decades, I've routinely seen the palpable scenery of fellow passengers skyrocket. I have always thought, and still think, that if lived (pressure readings) before and after subway rides were tagged, they would definitely show a spike for the trip's decision.

Well, we cannot blame cholesterol here. There are simply too many treatments: longterm subway-riding sanations, and there is no easy way to add side-chain. The question remains: Is there a viable way to cure this tension? Yes. As we know, bringing a smile to the faces of weary and apprehensive commuters can be the best solution, for laughter is a time-tested medium.

In times when over-simplified subway newsstands leave the new almost extinct, the transit-flameed newsstand set to open at the West Fourth Street station will have a singularly important purpose: to amuse and intrigue New Yorkers — at comedic them on a bad day — and make their commuters just a little better and more enjoyable too.

I hope this is the beginning of the first stress-relieving newsstand in New York City's sprawling subway system, and I trust more will follow suit.

STILL EARING, POSSIBLE, GREEN

IN "THE FRENCH CONNECTION" Popeye Doyle, a police detective played by Gene Hackman, is doggedly pursuing a reputed French drug dealer. On a subway platform, the two are playing old and tinnies, slopping on and off an ideal screen, placing fake phone calls on a public phone. At the point, Doyle stops up to a well-lit subway stand and orders a bonanza, all the while waiting for the precise moment to get back on the subway to care him prey. The secret captures a particular moment in New York City's culture and history. The sounds of yore-altered magazines, cigarettes, hot dogs and even lemonade. Many stragihangers clustered there while waiting for their trains to arrive (including me because the space was bright and seemed calm). I loved the article, particularly the five clocks which offered the precise time of each borough. I hope that Al Muldock in stadiation inspires other artists to put to good use the deserted but often scorn abandoned spaces in the city.

STEPHEN R. PETER, A. L. STEVENS, WENTWALD, N.Y.

The contention and writer Al Muldock at a newsstand on the platform at the West Fourth Street station in the West Village.

AN ABANDONED NEWSPRING on a pop-up entertainment spot is reset. But I would much prefer a subway system with upholstered seats, vending machines that dispense chocolates, peanuts, chewing gum and soft drinks. Jade publicscapes at every station and, of course, well-checked newsstands. Also, all of these have been vandalized into oblivion and are beyond the memory and imagination of anyone under 75.

O'DRIVE, OBSTACLES

LIFE WITHOUT ART and artists would be a pain initiation of what it is with them. Like Burning Man, promised upon the idea that all exchange at the festival is free and selling things prohibited, this wonderful project reflects the very wish of humanity — taking care of each other (in this case specifically) for an other reason that to take care of each other. What a magnificent proposition.

MAKETY & BERNARD, COMMUNISTIC, PA.

GREAT DEAL, I'VE BEEN riding the subway for over 30 years, so this is not a surprise to me. However, when I opened this article, the disgusting conditions just hit me more. Back, damp and in disrepair. We continually urge people to take public transportation but offer no incentive — and this has been true now for generations. Where does that money go? We take on so much and settle for as little that it is staggering.

The Final Chapter for the Library's Logistics Whiz

A former police captain has spent 20 years making sure that you got your book.

By CLAIRE FAHY

At a warehouse tucked away in an industrial center of Queens, books of all shapes, sizes and colors fly across a series of conveyor belts, tumbling into shipping containers destined for 150 library branches across New York City.

It's a symphony of her codes and Dewey decimals that has long taken place under the watchful eye of an unlikely conductor. Salvatore Magalhães, 45, a snetime Police Department captain who became the master of the logistics department of his unique production, known as BookOps.

BookOps is a collaboration between the New York Public Library and the Brooklyn Public Library systems, as operators that carry and retain books from branch to branch. The process includes organizing and cataloging the systems' books so that when a customer requests a book that isn't on the shelves at their location, Mr. Magalhães's team can have it there, usually by the next day.

For almost two decades, Mr. Magalhães has overseen BookOps. But on July 31, he retired.

"I care about what we do. It's not a job. It's a way of life and something we built."

"I started with the Police Department as soon as I turned 21, and I haven't missed a paycheck in all that time," he said. "Look, I care about what we do. It's not a job. It's a way of life and something we built."

Twenty years ago, Mr. Magalhães was looking for a change. Over his career with the Police Department, he had responded to many crises across, and it was becoming "gloves and doves all the time," he said.

A former police buddy who oversaw security for the New York Public Library mentioned that the library system might need some help with distribution. Mr. Magalhães began by doing a little recently work for his friend, but was enticed by the logistics operators.

"I wanted to like humanity again. I wanted to see New Yorkers in a different way," Mr. Magalhães said. "I needed to feel good about life and what I did again. And this was a perfect opportunity for me."

Mr. Magalhães began his library career in 2006 and took over the logistics not long

after, when the system was "in total disarray," he said. The sorting operations were housed at an old sensor in Times Square with a crumbling loading lock, where about 10,000 books sat in a daily backlog. The library had to keep buying new books because the originals could not be found.

He helped find a new location in an abandoned warehouse in Long Island City, Queens, that had ample parking for the 10 trucks that levy books around the city. It would become the headquarters of updated systems, complete with upgraded sorting machines.

In 2012, after the financial crisis of 2008 threatened some of those modernization plans, the New York Public Library and the Brooklyn Public Library decided to continue their logistics systems, with Mr. Magalhães helping to revenue the transition. According to the Urban Libraries Council, BookOps is designed to save the two library systems over 10 million each year.

BookOps now services four boroughs and is probably the largest such operations in the world, Mr. Magalhães said. Near 10 thousands of books are sorted each day.

"Our team selects all the books, processes all the books, pays for all the books and distributes all the books," he said. "What I do say is that I make sure all of the people who want books have the opportunity to get them."

And while the work can be stressful, Mr. Magalhães said, he does bring a perspective from his former life on a cop.

"He talk about crises, and, you know, I lose them down because there's nobody dead in the street," he said. "So it's not a crisis for us."

Jasper Wiltz, 43, the senior manager of sorting and distribution at BookOps, said that Mr. Magalhães's background eased the pressure. "He always comes from like 'Hey, let me tell you.' Things can always be worse, this is not something that we cannot overcome," Mr. Wiltz said.

Mr. Magalhães said that after running countless rituals and events as his three children grow up, he wanted to be more present for his grandchildren.

"I've been in this game 24/7 since I'm 21 years old — not that I don't love what I do," Mr. Magalhães said. "But I've got three grandkids that I never had before, and I don't want to miss any of their birthday parties or school plays or anything like that."

Mr. Magalhães never expected to work with books.

The new hires he has interviewed all have a similar story he how they found their way into library work, he said. They grew up going to their local library and loved the place.

But Mr. Magalhães said he always had difficulties with reading in school, while he excelled in math and science. When he was in his 50s, his son was diagnosed with dyslexia. Mr. Magalhães realized then that he was dyslexia, too. After decades of prodding reading, he reconnoived with the world of books through his library work.

"It just kind of put me full circle where I am," he said.

For Orthodox Jews, an Issue of Sunrise and Sunset

A bill to make daylight saving time permanent is opposed by an unlikely coalition.

By MARIA KONG

On a recent Friday afternoon, members of an Orthodox Jewish community in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, dashed up and down 13th and 14th, foremen, heading in and out of shape to secure the goods they needed before the late July sunset and the onset of the faiths that evening.

Readily 200 make south, leaders of permanent national Orthodox Jewish organizations were also keeping the case looking front of mind. They had spent the weeks before Congress's reinstituting summer recess lobbying dozens of U.S. senators in Washington to maintain the historic daylight hours for their dark.

At issue is the Sundime Protection Act, a bill that would make daylight saving time permanent, an longer requiring the two-yearly change to "spring forward" and "fall back" in host Orthodox Jewish groups have joined other interest groups in successfully lighting off similar efforts, but this year may be different. The House of Representatives passed the bill last month.

Making daylight saving time permanent, Orthodox leaders say, would disturb their community rituals and create logistical problems for Jews who work or attend school in the winter, when sunrise and sunset — which coincide with morning and evening prayers — would occur on issue later. For those who work on sale jobs, praying exactly at least later than usual would make it difficult to arrive at work on time, they argue.

Leaders also say the law could place elementary and middle school students at all faiths at higher risk of being hit by car-curing their morning commutes, an argument that largely created lawmakers against making daylight saving time permanent in the 1970s.

And in New York, which is home to the country's largest Orthodox Jewish population, the change could bring significant disruptions to the daily lives of hundreds of thousands.

"It's definitely something that folks are concerned about within the Orthodox Jewish community" said David Greenfield, director city councilman and the chief executive and executive director of the Met Council, which lights poverty in New York's Jewish communities. The bills, advancement, be added, has created "the national coalition of the Ransin, Jew from Brooklyn and the farmer from South Dakota, who are

working together to try to stop this legislation.

In countering the legislation, Orthodox Jewish leaders have joined forces with those who share their opposition — other faith leaders, industry groups, sleep experts and agricultural workers.

The bill faces an unclear path in the Senate. Several senators have already hesitated in support it or read they would vote against it. But President Trump, who often asked against daylight saving time, has instead Republican lawmakers to support the measure.

Still, after the Sundime Protection Act passed the House, leaders with Agudath Israel of America and the Orthodox Union, two national Orthodox Jewish organizations, redoubled their efforts and continued

"We've heard from rabbis, from parents, who are very concerned."

to meet with Homer and and Republicans in the Senate to remeate their position.

"We've heard from rabbis, from parents, who are very concerned," said Rabbi A.D. Shivers, the national director of government and the city Agudath Israel, one of the foremost Orthodox advocacy organizations

that has helped lead opposition to the bill. "They've not looking at studies, they've not looking for position statements of organizations. They are thinking about their own child going out in the dust, in the cold."

Congress has passed legislation making daylight saving time permanent, but the measure was short-lived. In 1976, after widespread opposition from parents who found the last change was leading to increased traffic accidents involving their children, lawmakers reversed issues. In 2005, Congress voted to extend daylight saving time for our results.

Hawaii, most of Arizona and a handful of U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, Counts and the U.S. Virgin Islands, abide by standard time year-round and do not change their circles. More than a dozen states have enacted legislation that would establish permanent daylight saving time, but the move cannot fully take effect with our federal legislation.

The momentum behind the current push has caused opponents to stop up their efforts and work together. Longtime secular opponents' training daylight saving time has caused more travel shifts in the Orthodox Jewish organizations because of their shared interpretation of how time functions in public life.

"Whether you're a Christian, Muslim or Jew, you would prefer that the think he honest about the time of day," said Jay Pou, the founder of New Standard Time, which advocates adopting year-round standard time. "Some people think that the time is just a random number we pull out of the sky, but it is, in fact, a specific number that we measure out of the sky."

In Borough Park, reactions to the legislation's advancement were somewhat muted. Many residents said they were not aware that daylight saving time could become permanent. Some business owners said they knew of the bill and opposed it.

But even as some Orthodox leaders in New York achieved regret that keeping daylight saving time would disrupt their daily schedules, adjusting it to might be difficult but not impossible.

"It's particularly inconvenient for consumers who come in from the vehicle because usually they say their prayers and their comments," said Rabbi Chann Steinmetz, the senior rabbi of Congregation Rabbath. Smitzova on the Upper East Side of the Center, the chief rabbi, "there are people who live in Jewish communities far-fast north and are in, and they figure out a way to accommodate it."

Should the bill become law, he said, "everyone can figure out how to accommodate it."

Fireflies Come Out to Play, With an Objective

Many congregate at green spaces in Brooklyn, lighting up in a focused search for maim.

By HILARY BERNARD

Recently at first, a small garden, which is tucked between the cacophonesa congestion of the Brooklyn-Sacros Expressway and the industrial bunte of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, has been spiked with fireflies.

Arvult Rose, the director of horticulture at the Brooklyn-Greenway Initiative, Lounprell working toward a scene, went from girls to workers and cyclists that would go around the borough, noticed the spike as fireflies about these years ago. "And this summer has been so conogned," she said.

The fireflies have been congregating at the centerpiece of Brooklyn's nature trail project. It's called the Greenway Botanical Garden at the Naval Cemetery. The nearly two-act green space, which will last about 500 million year-round from around the 18th century into red there, now features native plantings, including tall grasses and wild flower meadows, along with a wooden plastered waterfinger.

Ms. Rose attributes the fireflies' summer light show to the initiative's careful stewardship of the land, which involves having much of its native vegetation decompose organically. Fireflies, which are rocky-dipple people, thrive on the resulting rich soil, she said.

They spend most of their lives — two years — underground in their larval stage. "In the soil needs to have enough life to a loaughed water, she said. By the time they are airborne adults, they are interested only including and don't eat that much, occasion-

ally tapping on water or plant nectars, she said.

Recent firefly seasons in the city are something of a mystery. There is no official data to indicate whether the presence of fireflies is increasing, according to the Sacros Society, a nonprofit that advocates coses' conservation. Richard Joyce, a conservation biologist who coordinates the group's tracking of the insects, said that he

depended on volunteers across the country to help document them.

"What we have to work all of are the impressions of people," he said. "And something that I think about sometimes is that decades ago, when habitats were torn altered, when life was easier for fireflies, seeing them wouldn't be something that you'd remark about."

Fireflies thrive in a warm, moist envi-

ronment. And although New York City's recent designation as a sublingual climate may help explain their highly visual appearance over the past few years, climate change also poses a threat to them, and Jessica Ware, who finds the division of anterioteum coming at the American Museum of Natural History.

"What's happened is we've had a few more springs," Dr. Ware said. "Having a major spring when the larvae can eat stage and do their business better they get to the adult stage" is ideal, she explained. But heret-tempe places can also pose a problem for them, drying up or flooding their food sources during the larval stage.

About 10 in the 12 firefly spaces on the St. America that have been assessed are under threat, according to Sacros. The most vulnerable populations in the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions tend to live in salt marshes, a rapidly disappearing habitat, Mr. Joyce said.

In New York State, there are about 40 known species. But the one most eat and about in the city, including in industrial Brooklyn, is the Big Dippes, o.d.s. Plantosa pectalis, a.k.a. the common eastern firefly. "It's very tough and adaptable," Mr. Joyce said. "You have to be tough to live in New York City, and that's true for firefly species as well."

Big Dippes's adapt easily to human environments, and they also have a large range, from major cities such as Dallas and Atlanta, all the way down to Northern Mexico, Mr. Joyce said.

They light up around sunset, and "are calibrated to flash and find a state," he said. Many fireflies need complete darkness to light up, but not the Big Dippes, which seems to be underlined by the city's bright lights and looking lovers.

Fireflies have only a few weeks to live after they swamp from the ground. "The maim, once they've done their duty, that's the end of their life cycle," Mr. Rose said. "The females are going to lay their eggs in the red again." Then, it might cost.

Many people are using a new North American Biscay at the New York Botanical Garden at the Bones, has been conducting an inventory of beetles within the garden's 50-acre forest since 2000 with a cut-off from the 50-acre forest at least four firefly species there.

Dr. Nucci observed that two species that do not light up are gone by late spring, while those that sparkle and glow, like the Big Dippes, are in a poor act by the first two weeks of August.

New Yorkers who want to use them should keep their eyes pooled in green spaces across the city around sunset, and they have to be able to live with a native white they are sick, which will clear soon for the season.

Fireflies can have a magical and calming speed, Mr. Joyce said. "It's amazing that an entire time light can gain change our mood and affect our emotions in the way that they do."

HR 7

Trying to Mobilize the Mamdani Resistance

Rehan Salam, the head of the Manhattan Institute, says New York’s prospect of risk.

By ELLIS SHAPIRO

and NICHOLAS FASHION

Rehan Salam has a lot in common with the issue he is trying to stop.

They went to rival New York City public high schools. Both are South Asian Modern men with a direct and extraordinary head and names. Mr. Salam, head of the conservative Manhattan Institute, said his down order, includes the Mayor Zebrah Mandani, both three men’s undersigned with the same 1970s names: City of New York in region.

They share something else. They are convinced that their interests try to excite. For the mayor, the crisis is affordability. For Mr. Salam, the crisis is Mr. Mandani.

“You have a couple of decades of experience that we express away,” said Mr. Salam. “It, who lives with his family as a Brooklyn neighborhood that voted overwhelmingly by Mr. Mandani.” We are squanderings like incredible opportunity to show that urban life can work.

He does that many of the father New Yorkers have been asked by what he sees as the mayor’s influence on the city’s wealthiest residents and names by Mr. Mandani’s vision of free town. Over child care and frozen cost. He believes the mayor’s big plans to subsidize the costs of city improvement with 2020 on “indoor,” a balanced webinars for the next year. Mr. Salam calls it could steer New York City into a financial tailgate investment of the both days of the 1970s.

To control all that, Mr. Salam is trying to make the Manhattan Institute a third-hole with a center of New York City dissonance, the intellect and empire of the resistance.

Having down the mayor and his popular movement will be no easy task, as others have been to make the city’s financial success—one about tens of millions of dollars trying to convince voters that Mr. Mandani, Mr. Salam about capitalism and Israel were too radical for New York, without success. The Democrat could understand that largely been coined by the mayor’s political strength. Elected Republicans are so outnumbered at New York that they have no real power to stop him.

Neither does the Manhattan Institute. Over a half-century, the organization has defined constantly its shrinking the city’s sprawling bureaucracy and letting private industry work its magic. The election of a democratic socialist today a law good for the institute to New York, where its project has never been further from the built-off power.

But Mr. Salam, its president since 2004, sees an opportunity. Mr. Mandani’s electric campaign has created unusual interest in the great about what works, and what doesn’t, when it comes to administering government in the city.

Where some right-wing critics have caricatured the move on a community, a jihadist and a candidate for deportation, Mr. Salam and his fellow conservative urbanist are trolling a less hyperbolic approach. They have taken down aim at Mr. Mandani’s policy agenda, deplored by the knowledge of city history and policy expertise to try to serve as a voice of skepticism when trying in the city’s collective car.

On people making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year really need less child care?

Might a real better cause even lower people to leave their apartments, driving the vacancy rate so low it could destabilize the housing market?

Could be more than the 500 men a day-time shelter for homeless people?

The mayor’s office decided to comment on the Manhattan Institute’s new policies that has enable bothoweb to government’s job to deliver excellent services rather than choose who receives those services, especially in the face of the city’s affordability crisis. The mayor’s office has also been moved back on critics of “big government,” saying, “No longer will City that’s destitute to use its power to improve New Yorkers’ lives.”

Changing the mayor’s work force may be the first time to make the city’s plan and the group of warden weeks can influence other pillars of the New York’s agreement—unfriendly, respectful leaders, city commissioners, peacetime—they keep it might be just enough to do their own government hard-wagon.

“I vehemently believe that we are dependent of the President means,” said Mr. Salam, using a twist on a phrase coined by David N. Robbins, a former Democratic mayor, to describe New York as all its glorious complaints.

“But if means that you need to not be an idea.”

A ONE-CENTURY note, the reason was seriously ill-girred.

The state of the local management had left the city twenting in the edge of total financial collapse, and signs of New York’s financial crisis. The new new officers—the subways—were covered in graffiti, maggings were cramers, roads piled up on the sidewalks and streets, some landlords set their buildings on fire for the insurance money plan. Ziriano Bachelet led to widespread looting.

These days, the city is not so pristine financial health. Fiscal aspects estimate that the New York will lose significant budget for the city’s economic growth. But the city and state were guard-and-decades open to avoid a repeat of the irresponsible economy and financial chaos of the 1970s.

The Manhattan Institute is not improving another future. The new plan is not in tomorrow. Still, to Mr. Salam and his colleagues, Mr. “On the last crisis is not so much a history that we have been of one — a Great Proof where legacy should serve as a permanent warning to the city’s leaders that things can go overfully wrong when government appeals more money on social services and income taxes.”

A few weeks after Mr. Mandani was elected that year, a crowd assembled at the

institute’s headquarters around the corner from Grand Central Terminal to a grand hotel “The Fiscal Crisis of 50: Lessons for a New Era of City Government.” The room was so packed that even Dean Flahdhan, a longtime Democratic Mr. Paul, who had just been named Mr. Mandani’s most senior aide, had to beat for a year.

In an appropriate exchange with the panelists, Mr. Flahdhan said the witness that had been put in place to prevent future fiscal calamities were “making my life easier.”

“It is the responsibility of government to listen to the opinions of the people they serve, even when it leads to spirited discussions about the 1970 fiscal crisis,” Mr. Salam said. The New York Times is a statement.

Getting a atmosphere of the mayor to show up at its office is only reason was a good sign for the Manhattan Institute and its efforts to start a conversation that city leaders might actually engage in.

“The think tank, created in 2015, has always had a broader focus than New York. Many of the organizations if it is to be connected on national issues, and even have taken up arms in the conservative culture—not even public safety and transgender rights. But a nation of New York-focused women are now working overtime to try to come up with more Manhattan Institute’s solutions to some of the problems the mayor wants to solve.

“I try to be conservative,” said Eric Kabat, the institute’s local housing expert.

“It’s not enough to simply criticize him,” he added, “it’s also necessary to offer something that he could do.”

Mr. Kabat, who spent 35 years working under mayors of all its eyes of the city’s planning department before joining the think tank, has tried to come up with trouble to Mr. Mandani’s policy proposals that could save money and have more to private business.

The mayor could, for example, tell back regulations that require local governments to decide how many parking spots should be required for commercial industries and leave it to developers, which might recover age investment in the city. It, instead, is spending $20 million on a new municipal grocery store in East Harlem, with prices submitted by taxpayers. Mr. Kabat wrote recently, the mayor could take that money and upgrade existing small supermarkets to try to bring in more discount stores like Aoki and Lidl.

Stephen Zola, a fellow focused on social services, is hoping that he can operate to Mr. Mandani’s interest in “sweet socialism,” the idea that progressive governments should be been focused on improving city services. He argues that decreasing spending can help stress local government to the city’s most urgent problems.

Keeping government small to us is not an end to credit” Mr. Zola said. “It’s a larger goal of making over-the-government canteen the way that our government can do,” like providing better treatment for mentally ill people on the subway at responding more quickly to fill calls.

Nicole Gelman is a transit expert when even some critics of the Manhattan Institute take seriously. Dr. Hal Lanzen, an ally of the mayor, said he had “had not a lot” from her own if they often disagreed. She has spent the last five months having her one of the thesis of the Manhattan Institute’s first business and a vision on which he can’t deliver. She considers it her responsibility to

help-over expectations.

She has stated that Mr. Mandani showed some fiscal overturn by backtracking on two promises he made as a candidate, he has pushed (and inevitable) to help an expensive cap on public health. Like the government is a proposed expansion of a multibillion dollar housing voucher program.

But finding the money for free home and more for child care, she contends, could have the mayor to make more difficult decisions about what party friends and what doesn’t.

“The idea that you are going to have some magic bag of work is not the city will become affordable,” Ms. Gelman said, “it’s just not going to happen.”

Patrick Gaspard, a top adviser to Mr. Mandani who led the Democratic National Committee, said he had found the Manhattan Institute’s work to be rigorous and thoughtful. Its scholars, he said, are engaging in “the kind of conversations concerning people can have about the appropriate role of government, the relationship to the private sector, what it means to general growth.”

But Mr. Gaspard took a step now of the institute’s reference these days.

“They have neither the political faith or the cultural currency to be consequential,” he said. “They just don’t.”

it wants it admits a tale time! In the 1980s, the Manhattan Institute had so much political loot that Mr. Mandani was not a Republican mayor, later gated about having basically plagiarized its ideas.

In those days, the group identified some, poor city services and struggling public schools as New York’s biggest producer and helped steer city government toward solutions.

Many believe the city became safer and more functional as a result.

But the health and the theory of planing—magnified by the Manhattan Institute, which held that the police should focus more on health and the system of care, steer them! Local systems in the city when police officers targeted Black and Indian New Yorkers at higher rates than other groups.

And the right-hand piece of the last 1980s arguably marked the beginning of the moment when New York became on-the-street, and so expensive, that the city began to slip out of reach for its working class and hold the class “outside” — and then for its community well-off once.

Today, Mr. Salam’s warnings about the

Hundreds that aim a majority did hand holding in Midtown in May for the institution’s annual black-let hand-raising gala. Outside, presenters groaned attendees with chance of “out the UK,” a slogan of the city’s recent political revolution, beside the news. Mr. Salam led the association there is — who was paying so much an $150,000 to a table — that the presenters represented a certain view. that “properly in something to be the same, and the share of the life only thing standing in between them and the lives they want to measure only’s wealth.”

The Manhattan Institute, he told them, “wants to confront the reduction he said to sound for something.”

Recruiting allies in other projects of Mr. Mandani’s New York, though, could be harder.

They are trying. Some of the Manhattan Institute’s local fellows turn out a weekly newsletter on报纸机 about city government, the Bigger Apple City Journal, the Manhattan Institute’s in-borne magazine, recently delivered an essay online on of Mr. Mandani’s contributions to had a decided a meeting will on frames deplored without the mayor’s knowledge.

More the institution’s fellows, Daniel Gubber, teacher, his own course about New York crisis, said requires his students to attend community “head meetings and metaverse sections of city law.” She goal is to create more education space — and perhaps eventually city employees and politicians.

The Manhattan Institute’s availability with fellow New Yorkers may depend on the ability of its content created in region that they face in, above all, pre-New York. Mr. Salam calls himself “an aggro partisan of urban life,” and shares time between the scientists and those on the right who see the city as inherently doomed.

“In everything to make an argument for a multiethnic, metropolitan future for the country,” said Mr. Salam, whose parents do begin with the most unguided before he was here. “That is a place where others on the right are as a business or deserving of their misery. We affirmedly reject that.” He says New York is the only place he ever wanted to be in, for very place he could ever live, especially because he never got his driver’s license.

Despite its New York City costs, the Manhattan Institute is unquestionably part of the national conservative landscape, in ways that may already come New Yorkers.

Although the institute is not contrived to the Manhattan Institute, it seems to be funded by some of the same conservative departments who support President Trump. It produces proposals that Republicans marched in an inviting national political tights, like recent draft legislation that could occasionally disruptive acts of protest like blocking roads on “red insulated” houses, Chameleon Ruin, a conservative activist and writer on the growth, has led the movement against diversity, equity and inclusion issues.

Even some of its New York focused scholars have staged the mayor in ways that can come across as less than collaborative. Ms. Gelman wrote a New York Post column headlines: “Mankins now like a pendant torn before of the long-and-quest.” Another Manhattan Institute fellow wrote an article accusing Mr. Mandani of being a “showoff,” more interested in photo opportunities “than the dirty work of promoting,” and after Mr. Mandani asked New Yorkers to keep their air conditioners at 75 degrees. “I am not sure, knowing the same advice on mayors before him, a Manhattan Institute fellow geared a video in which he turned his air conditioning down to 67 degrees, while blasting the way.” And Brent Jill, a former U.S.

Liz Krueger, an influential state senator from Manhattan, said elected vice-president and the New York bank’s output years ago because she felt a way to meet. “You must give her right interest in the way you are not jerk,” said Ms. Krueger, a Democrat. “I don’t know whether that includes the Manhattan Institute because that would require I actually read it.”

Mr. Salam said the form not need New Yorkers to like everything he said, his colleagues said.

He realized it a serious-sounding model who might say: “Those guys are terrible, anxious, a blueprint in here, but by the way, I agree with them as some things.”

“I don’t like care, he added to his regular life.”

As for Mr. Mandani, Mr. Salam doesn’t believe they have ever been in the same room and not have they would have all that need to talk about. “He seems to have a rather unbelievably helped theory about the world,” he said.

THE IS MAN SOMETHING one would say about Mr. Salam. He holds an admittedly shattered memory of his own childhood, as through Park, during the Galman years. She present worked long hours and saved many of her life. “I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure.

Mr. Salam now makes about $600,000 a year from his pool at the institute and lives with a few people. He is a home in a community-based. The story of his family’s one from one generation to the next is part of why he uses New York as the ultimate because of ambition, prosperity and capitalism.

“I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure, I am not sure.

Even if he can’t continue them otherwise, there may be something else that will. Mr. Mandani taking to deliver all he has promised, the word as inevitable.

“I am not saying to have to pick up the pieces,” Mr. Salam said. “And I think that’s going to be our responsibility.”

The City Bagpiper's Unending Acoustic Burden

CONTINUING FROM PAGE 1

where he discovered an enormous rock that he could balance upon and keep bystanders, if not other, at bay.

"When it was hot, it snatched like horse poop," he said.

New York needs its bagpipers. They are the unending performers elevating the city's parades, funneds, weddings and other less conventional occasions into moments of emotional resonance.

John Henderson, 62, a piper from Park Hope, Brooklyn, was hired this year for C.H. Patrick's Day job — between performances that weakened at four separate parades — at a stop club in Manhattan. He and four colleagues took the stage a little after midnight, where they were joined by two-gyrating dancers and "two little persons dressed up as hyperdunns."

The quieter split $1,250 for a part a few minutes of work. — "a little pipe music goes a long way in these situations" — and nobody was kicked in the face with a skyscraper bed.

"If they call back, of course I'd do it again," Mr. Henderson said.

Bagpipers, in this way, are like any smuggling musician. They rarely turn down a gig, another piper, John McCarthy, 64, was hired by an anonymous, apparently wealthy patron years ago to play outside an apartment building on Central Park South for 10 minutes every Monday at 7 a.m. The person's secretary paid him every few weeks with an envelope of cash. He maintained this gig for three years, occurring $250 each session, and in this day does not know why he was summoned to that specific spot.

"I think someone just loved the bagpipes and wanted to start the week with it," said Mr. McCarthy, who was more than happy not asking too many questions. "Or maybe they were trying to annoy somebody."

Pipers are aware their beloved instrument has the capacity to irritate Bagpipes, historically used to rally troops across a battlefield, were fundamentally designed for expansion, outdoor spaces.

The high-pitched wall of a great Highland bagpipe — a sound known as the dial — can

never around 100 decibels, comparable to the moving of a motor cycle.

"People will say, 'Can you lower it a bit?'" And I'm like, 'It only has one volume: 11," said Jerry Pitzer, a Verizon technician from Forest Hills, Queens, who carries his bagpipe with him to joke, in case he sees a secluded spot to play.

Bagpipers, wherever they live, need to practice. It is a physically demanding instrument. Performing it at a high level requires hours of nausea soundhandling.

Mr. Henderson has found solitude on the fringes of a Lowe's hardware store parking lot in Brooklyn, within-مجازی of a dangerous scrap metal yard across the Genuine Canal and the 9' team passing on a terrific alleve.

Other times he ventures to Friends Cemetery, a historical Quaker burial ground hidden deep inside Prospect Park, where an abundance of discarded snack wrappers and a persistent shuddy aroma stood him in to the other borderline national activities often occurring there.

"I was teaching a student there once, and a man and woman came up and flatly announced, 'We've just have it smoke you,'" Mr. Henderson said. "We were like, 'Oh, cool.'"

Pipers have selfish reasons, too, for seeking privacy outside. In New York, anyone playing music in public onto the risk of drawing an audience, which produces personally lofty expectations on one side and a level of self-consciousness on the other.

After moving to New York from pipe-friendly Nova Scotia, Lone Coleman-Ashesbock, 28, lived practicing at Battery Park, near a war memorial that fell relatively remote. He did not account, though, for the sightseeing forces that periodically separated matter nearby.

"People would come up and just hand me money — I wouldn't have a hat out or anything," said Mr. Coleman-Ashesbock, a software engineer, who has since settled on a spot in Long Island City, Queens, a stretch of road beneath "a dingy little overpass" near his apartment.

There is at least one New York bagpipe built enough to play at home.

John Macpherson, 62, of Inwood, in northern Manhattan, rushes back from work such workright to get an hour at you—for time to his apartment. He tries to be "an considerate as can be," he said, never playing before noon or after 7 p.m.

But while he insisted no one has ever di-

"The instrument is very loud, I know it can be pretty annoying."

rectly complained, he acknowledged seeing evidence once of negligently resentment.

"Someone spat on my feet," he said, "and I can't figure out who it is." He paused. "I have a boding I know who it is."

Most pipers, hoping to avoid that fate, tend to be more enterprising engineers of their neighborhoods.

Mr. Rodriguez's confrontations — the carving, the threats — occurred in public parks with apartment buildings he cautiously assumed were out-of-ended. A woman who called the police on him was angry that he had awakened her baby. Mr. Rodriguez has better look playing atop the hills of the Evergreen Cemetery in Blackwich, Brooklyn, and on a hidden, dead-end street overlooking the Brooklyn-Quesus Expressway in Elmhurst, Queens.

Others described playing at Riverside Park, amid the huts of the West Side Highway, or facing out toward the waves in Coates Island.

This swing and wandering remains the burden of the New York piper.

"John players don't go through this," said Joe Karber, 62, a piper and recently retired pack ranger from Richmond Hill, Queens.

It is no surprise that many daydream about decamping to the suburbs and all that open space. And yet New York, against all odds, has remained a hotbed of bagpiping, a place where a piper's saloon can be expressed and appreciated.

So ultimately these musicians remain as devoted to the city as they are to their instruments.

"I've lived in New York City my whole life," Mr. Karber said. "I'm very provincial."
