“Transforming Spaces” is a series about women driving change in sometimes unexpected places. It takes a lot of people to make a movie.

And when those costumes come off and things start to get a bit steamy? That’s where Jessica Steinrock comes in. Ms. Steinrock is an intimacy coordinator — or intimacy director, when she’s working on theater and live performance — who facilitates the production of scenes involving…

In the immediate months of November and December, a resurgence of vegetable price inflation is likely to push up food and headline inflation,” Das said. In its meeting held between December 6-8, the MPC left benchmark lending rates unchanged at 6.50 per cent for the fifth consecutive…

Now, he said in an interview Thursday, while he remains critical of the law, “it’s not that simple.” Idaho, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah and Virginia have expanded Medicaid in the past six years. And the most unpopular piece of the law — the individual mandate penalty for people who don’t purchase insurance — is gone, as are the taxes on health plans and medical devices Republicans spent years railing against. Benedic Ippolito, a senior fellow at the conservative American Enterprise Institute who specializes in health care, said the impact of these changes is evident in…

For the past several years, Ms. Jones has been developing one central philosophy: Because Black women have historically been concentrated in low-paid caregiving jobs, which are often excluded from labor laws and benefits like Social Security, they have accumulated less wealth and experienced worse health outcomes. Furthermore, Ms. Jones argues, helping Black women — through measures like raising wages in care professions and canceling more student debt — is the best way to construct an economy that functions better for everyone. In 2020, she gave her narrative a name, “Black Women Best.” She came up with it while working for…

Recently, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) reclassified India’s exchange rate regime to ‘stable’ from ‘floating’. However, the Reserve Bank of India has said that such a reclassification is incorrect. What would the reclassification mean for future RBI actions? Gayatri Nayak finds out: What does the IMF classification mean? The IMF has said that the RBI has followed a stable exchange by restricting volatility from December 2022 to October 2023 through its currency market interventions rather than letting the rupee be determined by market conditions, which should ideally happen in a system given its stated exchange-rate policy. What is RBI’s stated…

While there is a national debate as to whether Yorkshire puddings should even be on Christmas dinner, they’re a great addition to a Sunday roast. Traditionally served as an appetiser, says Historic UK, the British pudding was originally served with gravy before the main meal. Nowadays, a Yorkshire pudding for an appetiser would seem rather preposterous. But, not too far along from the 18th Century, a Yorkshire pudding was seen as a filling starter. A starter that would fill you up so that you don’t have enough room to eat too much expensive meat. Gordon Ramsay’s Recipe Makes: eight large…

Santa’s Village had become a ghost town, closed for nearly two decades. Rides had been auctioned off, much of its electrical equipment was stolen and bark beetle-infested trees — destined for an incinerator — had once taken up residence in its parking lot.

The LBX is a premium-focused B-segment car, and for a new arrival in late 2023 it’s fairly novel: there’s no electric version planned, and by expanding into a smaller market, Lexus has bucked the ongoing trend of cars growing to the point that they barely fit on British roads any more. (We will conveniently forget the new supersized LM MPV for now…) That puts the LBX into an intriguing spot in the market: its nearest direct rivals are probably the Audi Q2, which will be retired next year, and the DS 3, which hardly sells. It’s bigger than the Mini…

An insurer who covers the enormous cost of the therapy won’t necessarily gain savings later when patients no longer need other treatment options: pain medication, blood transfusions and bone marrow transplants. At the same time, the long-term safety profile of the gene-editing therapy, Casgevy, is unknown. What’s Casgevy? It’s a one-time gene therapy that modifies the stem cells of patients with severe sickle cell disease using CRISPR, a Nobel Prize-winning technology created 11 years ago. Regulators approved the therapy in the U.K. in November, and its…

If you’re drawn to the V40 by Volvo’s reputation for practical, comfortable transport, you’ll probably be quietly impressed by what you find. That it didn’t lead the class on space is perhaps a slight shame, but it’s not a major surprise, given the car’s average outward dimensions. The V40 offers passenger accommodation levels and usable boot space that’s as generous as the most practical hatchbacks of the day, but no better. But the air of simplicity and unpretentiousness that characterises the cabin is much more appealing than its sheer size. This is a car entirely devoted to everyday use. The driver’s…

‘It’s a problem’ These primary care and hospital challenges have their own ripple effects.

With many of the best-insured patients traveling out of town, it’s harder to attract physicians who might give people a reason with good insurance to stay. “Basically, that keeps out the possibility of some new gastroenterologist coming…

In the intricate dance of romantic relationships, an intriguing yet often distressing pattern emerges – the “Blame Game” dynamic.

The answer lies in our attachment system – an intricate framework shaped by our earliest experiences and influences, leading us to employ strategies we believe will best meet our emotional needs.

The emerging strategy aims to prevent abortion rights groups from notching their third, and largest, set of ballot measure victories since Roe v. Wade was overturned. And while conservatives celebrated the fall of Roe for returning the question of abortion rights to the people, these efforts are seen as an implicit admission that anti-abortion groups don’t believe they can win at the ballot box — even in red states — and that the best way to keep restrictions on the procedure is to keep voters from weighing in directly. The actions follow abortion-rights victories in Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio,…

But Mehta had not foreseen the pink bollworm attack that hit cotton output in northern India this year.

I can still remember how gobsmacked I was when I first laid eyes on Little Nightmares from Tarsier Studios. It was a trailer from one of the game’s very early reveals, 7 or 8 years ago, and during some manner of gaming event that I can’t quite recall. E3? Gamescom? Who knows.

The lighting, the depth-of-field trickery, the overall aesthetic of Little Nightmares was something that just spoke to me, and…

A little over three years have passed since McDonald’s sent out an email to thousands of its restaurant owners around the world that abruptly cut short the future of a three-person startup called Kytch—and with it, perhaps one of McDonald’s best chances for fixing its famously out-of-order ice cream machines. Until then, Kytch had been selling McDonald’s restaurant owners a popular Internet-connected gadget designed to attach to their notoriously fragile and often broken soft-serve McFlurry dispensers, manufactured by McDonald’s equipment partner Taylor. The Kytch device would essentially hack into the ice cream machine’s internals, monitor its operations, and send diagnostic…

The trouble is, I was travelling when I heard it and noted it and now can’t find the quote. But by gum it makes me cross, the sort of nonsense talked by people who apparently have never left London to know what life is like elsewhere.

Item ticked off, then, but it’s not very festive. I think I’ll revisit this another time. I have thoughts…
