It was the fashion industry’s return to a beloved venue, one that was (even prior to the makeover) designed to handle large crowds and intense traffic. In short, it works, like it always did.

    wheat import: India has no plans to import wheat for now: Piyush Goyal

    January 12, 2024 - By

    How to visit the Huntington’s ancient Japanese Shoya House

    January 4, 2024 - By 

    It’s hard to say what’s cooler about the Japanese shōya house at the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens — the centuries-old wood structure that was once the center of a small farming village in Marugame, Japan, or the backstory of how it got to its new home at the Huntington’s Japanese Garden. The shōya house’s original conical ceramic roof tiles had to be broken to move the structure. They were recreated by Japanese craftspeople, complete with a sprouting seed design. (Jason Armond / Los Angeles Times) The journey took nearly eight years of negotiations, bureaucratic wrangling and skilled…

    Cons: Can’t match the Porsche in the corners, firm and noisy ride The GLC 63 Coupe’s biggest enemy is its five-door sibling because that car offers the same performance from the same intoxicating V8 engine. But if you’re smitten by the swoopy, divisive styling of the coupe, the car’s desirability will be almost unmatchable. It’s packed with the luxurious perceived cabin quality you’d expect from Mercedes-AMG and it also beats the Porsche Macan Turbo to 62mph by half a second – although it can’t match that car’s dynamic abilities. Its firm, noisy ride will limit its appeal to less enthusiastic drivers.…

    global financial markets: India’s no longer ‘fragile’, can weather global market volatility

    January 4, 2024 - By 

    The roiling of global financial markets has always led to worries on the currency front back home given the high current account deficit. This year though, any volatility resulting from global spillovers may not lead to runaway depreciation of the rupee as the narrowing deficit has made the local unit resilient, say economists. The rise in exports post-pandemic has given India’s current account the necessary buffer, particularly since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, notes a report by Barclays Capital. Despite the steep surge in commodities such as crude oil, natural gas, vegetable oil, and fertilisers on which…

    Why Democrats can’t rely on abortion ballot initiatives to help them win

    January 4, 2024 - By 

    Those initiatives are likely to draw some support from Republican voters. The POLITICO analysis of data from five states that have held abortion referendums since 2022 shows varied levels of crossover voting, with a decisive share of voters in some states backing both Republican candidates and abortion rights. That underscores the ambiguity for 2024, when a handful of states will have abortion rights on the same ballot as GOP candidates who support abortion restrictions. And although abortion referendums drew relatively high turnout for off-year elections, 2024 is the first test of the phenomenon in a presidential election year, when millions…

    “Careful weighing of the ingredients is the key to success,” said Mary Berry of her Florentine bites. A Florentine biscuit is a thin, crispy cookie made from a base of nuts and fruits. The British baker favours almonds and walnuts for her take on the “luxurious” biscuit, and cranberries or cherries for that punch of flavour. Once baked, melted chocolate is drizzled over the warm, soft and chewy Florentine. “Try making these chewy, luxurious biscuits at home,” Mary Berry said, adding that you will need a sugar thermometer and three baking trays.
