Black Travelers: Explore Culture, Adventure & Connection Fall has long been treated as the season when travelers can expect lower prices after the summer rush, but Expedia’s latest data shows that those bargains are no longer automatic. The company’s 2026 Autumn Travel Outlook found that hotel prices in some destinations remain higher after summer, even as other places become substantially cheaper. The differences are large enough that choosing the right destination and travel date can change a fall trip’s cost. Expedia compared hotel and vacation rental prices, flight prices, and lodging searches for travel between September 1 and November 30,…
Global Black Voices: News from around the World US President Donald Trump has asked Apple to change the name of Lake Ontario to ‘Lake America’ on its maps app, his administration’s interior chief said on Monday. This news comes days after Trump signed an executive order over the body of water now in the spotlight amid his escalating trade war with Canada. Interior Secretary Doug Burgum told Fox’s Mornings with Maria programme that Trump “reached out to Apple directly”. He said he was confident the Lake America name could be seen on its platform soon. Apple did not immediately comment in response.…
Scientific research & Exploration: Explore the World Via Research Study and Innovation The common description for why rainfall creates rust is that water lugs dissolved salts and acids to a surface, constant drumming of raindrops abrades whatever protective covering is on it, and oxygen does the remainder. Almost all our tools to stop this– paints, polymer films, or oxide layers– are constructed around this idea. Yet we have actually obviously been missing out on something crucial concerning the rainfall. A brand-new research study led by Zhongyuan Ni, Rüdiger Berger, and Hans-Jürgen Butt at the Max Planck Institute for Polymer Research…
Health Watch: Wellness, Research & Healthy Living Tips BUNIA, Congo — Congo’s authorities said Monday that the fastest-growing Ebola outbreak in history has topped 6,000 cases with 2,911 deaths.More than 1,360 people have recovered from the virus, in what authorities said was an “encouraging” development.The outbreak in eastern Congo is spreading under extremely difficult conditions, fueled by insecurity, displacement, a health workers’ strike and intense population movements.

Business Insights: Global Markets, Strategy & Economic Trends Walk through a department store at the end of a season and the signs tell a familiar story: 40% off! 60% off! Clearance! Retailers often treat these markdowns as a tactical problem, the result of the wrong product, the wrong promotion, or bad weather effects. But they are better understood as confessions. They reveal the downsides of the traditional retailing model. The retailer acted as a merchant, committed to inventory before demand was known, absorbed the risk of being wrong, and then paid for that error in margin erosion and brand equity…
Game On: Sports News, Highlights & Commentary So this friend’s argument was that, yes, athlete nepo babies still have to be legitimately great. But they may also have been given genetic, financial, educational, and professional advantages from birth that most aspiring athletes could never dream of having. That, he said, sounds a whole lot like nepotism to him. Read the full story from the original source
Fresh from the Kitchen: Recipes & Food Inspiration Beautiful Soul, by now you probably have the Labor Day headliners covered. The ribs. The BBQ chicken. The potato salad somebody will inspect before committing it to their plate (IYKYK)! The mac and cheese… And banana pudding? She doesn’t need an introduction. But sometimes a menu doesn’t need another headliner. It needs that one little something you hadn’t thought about yet. Maybe something fresh. Maybe something cold. Maybe another vegetable. Maybe something you can make ahead. Or maybe a recipe that gives everybody a break from the same cookout plate they’ve been eating all…
Glow & Grow: Black Beauty, Haircare, and Skincare Tips Country music icon Dolly Parton’s passing yesterday (August 25) set the world (yes, the world) into mourning. She was more than a singer — she was a movement in her own right, who used her platform to support racial justice, literacy and medical research, while also championing Black artists and investing in our communities. She was also a beauty icon. She spent more than six decades pairing her musical genius and songwriting with larger-than-life blonde wigs, bedazzled costumes, bold makeup and long nails. Our beauty choices often tell stories about who…
Faith & Reflection: Voices from the Black Church and Beyond (RNS) — Young people are supposed to be the happiest among us. Increasingly, they are not. Today’s epidemic of youth despair shows a departure from decades of previous research. Historically, youth and adolescents tended to score higher on markers of wellbeing. Middle-age people — who carry the stressors associated with being parents, having a mortgage and caring for aging parents — have always tended to report lower levels of flourishing. Senior adults completed the U-shaped wellbeing curve as they reported higher levels of flourishing. Now data confirms that the left…
