☆ Opinion | No, ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ Is Not ‘the Worst’
  + stars: | 2024-02-08 | by ( John Mcwhorter | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Gershwin intended the rhapsody to fuse the respective powers of classical music and jazz. In the article I cited above, “The Worst Masterpiece: ‘Rhapsody in Blue’ at 100,” Iverson offers an intriguing take: that “Rhapsody in Blue,” while having its charms, is just too square to merit being played as often as it is. He believes the rhapsody isn’t truly jazzy enough, and specifically that it only lightly dwells in African-based rhythm. But to Gershwin, the rhapsody was precisely what it needed to be. I resolved, if possible, to kill that misconception with one sturdy blow.” So while the rhapsody certainly has its foot-tapping sections, it also sails, rests, jolts and soars.

☆ Russia doesn't know what to do with the $1 billion in rupees it is amassing in India each month
  + stars: | 2023-06-01 | by ( Huileng Tan | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Russia's amassing $1 billion worth of Indian rupees each month that it's struggling to use. India has been buying Russian oil using rupees as Moscow has been shut out of the USD-denominated global payments system. And it's not like Russia can send the rupees back home either because India has restrictions over capital flows by foreign investors — the country is looking at $2 to $3 billion worth of rupees stuck in India every quarter. India and Russia are now trying to work out how Russia can use its mounting rupee stash. Another option under discussion is having Russia channel the rupees into Indian infrastructure projects in exchange for equity stakes, per the media outlet.

☆ India-China border clash video shows troops fighting with sticks and bricks
  + stars: | 2022-12-14 | by ( Jessie Yeung | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Though they’re separated by barbed wire, the footage appears to show Indian troops beating the Chinese soldiers with makeshift weapons, including what look like wooden sticks and metal pipes. In several instances, Indian soldiers can be seen throwing bricks or stones. Many of the Chinese soldiers, gathered on the other side of the wire, also appear to be holding long sticks or batons. Speaking to lawmakers on Tuesday, India’s defense minister accused Chinese troops of trying to cross the LAC, saying they were trying to “unilaterally” change the status quo. Later that evening in a statement posted online, the Chinese military’s Western Theater Command accused Indian troops of “illegally” crossing into the Chinese side of the border.
☆ Cercetătorii au descoperit veriga lipsă care poate explica erele glaciare de pe Pământ

Cercetătorii au sugerat că, în mod paradoxal, în anumite condiții chiar topirea aisbergurilor din Antarctica ar putea juca un rol important și în apariției epocilor glaciare. La rândul său, acest lucru creează condiții pentru instalarea epocilor glaciare. „Am fost uimiți să constatăm că această mișcare a fost prezentă la începutul fiecărei ere glaciare în ultimii 1,6 milioane de ani. Rezultatele noastre oferă veriga lipsă a modului în care Antarctica și Oceanul Sudic au reacționat la ciclurile sistemului climatic asociate orbitei noastre în jurul Soarelui”, a spus și profesorul Ian Hall, coautor al studiului și unui dintre coordonatorii expediției IODP. Cu toate acestea, din cauza încălzirii climei provocate de industrializare, cercetătorii sugerează că ritmul natural al ciclurilor epocii glaciare poate fi perturbat.
