☆ Fires Are the Sum of Our Choices

In early February, the deadliest South American wildfires in a century swept through Valparaiso, Chile, killing more than a hundred people. In the United States, mercifully little land burned — only 2.6 million acres, which was less than half the recent average. But in Canada, fires ate through more than twice as much forest as the country’s previous modern record, the total burn scar large enough that more than half the world’s countries could fit inside. In Greece, one fire forced the country’s largest-ever evacuation, and another became the largest fire in the history of the European Union. And in the United States, especially, you increasingly hear a somewhat contrarian explanation that emphasizes fire suppression rather than warming.

Up to 450,000 people are expected to be in Vegas by Super Bowl weekend, and this influx of people has caused the city's hotel prices to surge. When big events come to town, whether it be the Super Bowl or Taylor Swift's Eras Tour , cities tend to get an economic boost . These economic impacts don't stop at cities' boundaries: surrounding areas like Boulder City could see an uptick in visitors and spending as well. He expects a similar — if not bigger impact — during Super Bowl week. An individual familiar with the airport's operations told the Las Vegas Review-Journal in a late January story that the airport's bookings around Super Bowl weekend were almost full to capacity.

☆ Torah Scrolls That Survived the Nazis Now Fuel Faith Around the World

Since the Congregation Bonai Shalom in Boulder, Colo., was founded in 1981, one of its several Torahs has been taken from the ark each Sabbath, and on other holy days, and read to members of the congregation. In August, another, particularly special Torah arrived at the temple, one of some 1,400 scrolls whose survival during the Holocaust has inspired Jewish congregations around the world. Confiscated by the Nazis as they purged synagogues and communities throughout Bohemia and Moravia, the Torah scrolls were shipped to the Jewish Museum in Prague. The scrolls were rescued from Prague years after World War II and have become part of a sprawling inventory of faith administered by a London trust that loans the Torahs out to synagogues, universities, hospitals and other institutions in 25 countries.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — If Taylor Swift is jetting from her upcoming Tokyo concert to Las Vegas to see boyfriend Travis Kelce play in the Super Bowl the next day, she'd better already have a place to park her plane. “Oh, they’re full,” said Rick Breitenfeldt, FAA spokesman for his sixth Super Bowl. Commercial airlines have added flights and the Las Vegas airport reported Wednesday it handled a record 57.6 million passengers in 2023. Due to time zone differences, if she flies out at midnight, it will be 7 a.m. Saturday in Las Vegas. Hayes said aircraft parking fees during Super Bowl weekend at Harry Reid International were unchanged from the standard rate.

The authors said these new and unusual fossil trees not only bear a surprising shape reminiscent of a Dr. Seuss illustration, they reveal clues about a period of life on Earth of which we know little. Few tree fossils that date back to Earth’s earliest forests have ever been found, according to Gastaldo. Most ancient tree specimens are relatively small, he noted, and often discovered in the form of a fossilized trunk with a stump or root system attached. Wilf noted via email that the “unusual” new fossil tree was a relic of a time period from which there are almost no tree fossils. The peculiar set of tree fossils presents proof of a “failed experiment of science and evolution,” Stimson added.

One strategy, known as buying "subject-to," allowed her to bypass a down payment and inherit a relatively low interest rate for her second property. According to Casey, subject-to deals aren't all that common, mostly because of a lack of understanding about how they work, even among real estate professionals. He can take that money from the escrow if she misses a mortgage payment. "I don't necessarily care about the purchase price; I care about your interest rate. I care about not having to put down a down payment, Casey continued.

☆ GoFundMe Is Remaking Disaster Aid. It Largely Helps the Wealthy.
▼ + stars: | 2024-01-29 | by ( Christopher Flavelle | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

As climate-fueled disasters destroy more American homes, the crowdfunding platform GoFundMe has exploded in popularity. Its appeal is simple: People can provide cash directly to survivors, which is quicker than insurance and often more generous than government aid. But new research suggests that cash sent through GoFundMe disproportionately benefits the wealthy rather than those who most need help. They found that those with household incomes above $150,000 received 28 percent more money, on average, than those with incomes below $75,000. The authors concluded that the explanation largely revolves around social networks: Wealthier disaster survivors tend to be connected to more people, and those people often have more money to give.

It would be decades before Colorado became one of the first two states in the country to legalize recreational cannabis, but on campus, James never worried. “The worst that would happen is they would tell us to put it away, or they might take it from us, and that was the end of it,” Ms. James recalled of the campus police.
