September 25, 2022214 Views

Fall is one of the best times to visit Virginia – a brief chill in the morning air makes way to warm, sunny afternoons.

Visitors to the new terminal at Orlando International Airport may want to wear sunscreen, shades and a floppy hat. Sun rays beaming through the windows of its soaring ceilings don’t just peck at the passing passengers — they practically smooch them as if they were spending a day at the beach. Accompanied by realistic-looking fake indoor palm trees, gigantic LED screens depicting underwater springs and skylight views of blue skies and billowing clouds, Terminal C lets passengers know they have arrived in Florida. And that’s the point, as the world’s seventh-busiest airport makes a $2.8 billion bet when the 1.8 million-square-foot (167,225-square-meter) terminal opens to the public this week that Florida’s tourism is moving well beyond the pandemic slowdown and has a bright future. ...

Museums in New York that exhibit artworks looted by Nazis during the Holocaust are now required by law to let the public know about those dark chapters in their provenance through placards displayed with the stolen objects. At least 600,000 pieces of art were looted from Jewish people before and during World War II, according to experts. Some of that plunder wound up in the world’s great museums. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a law in August requiring museums to put up signs identifying pieces looted by the Nazis from 1933 through 1945. A 15th century work from the Netherlands, "Crib of the Infant Jesus"—a 1974 gift from Ruth Blumka to the Metropolitan Museum of Art—is shown on exhibition at the museum Thursday, Sept. 1, 2022, in New York.

Autumn color forecast looks promising for leaf watchers this year

AWARA MUSAFIR BUREAU

September 16, 2022203 Views

All signs are pointing to a vibrant season of autumn color this year, thanks to plenty of summer and early fall rain, says a Virginia Tech tree physiology expert. “We have plenty of moisture in the soil and the trees should be in great shape for a colorful display in the beautiful state of Virginia,” says John Seiler, a forestry professor who specializes in environmental stress effects on woody plant physiology. Seiler looks at weather patterns and the moisture in soil to predict peak autumn color. He says that rain levels can also impact the variety of color, but clear days in October are vital for a vivid display. “Rainy weather patterns are keeping trees in Virginia healthy, which should prolong the fall color season and make leaf color more vivid,” says Seiler. “We do, ho...

100 years after compact, Colorado River nearing crisis point

September 12, 2022464 Views

The intensifying crisis facing the Colorado River amounts to what is fundamentally a math problem. The 40 million people who depend on the river to fill up a glass of water at the dinner table or wash their clothes or grow food across millions of acres use significantly more each year than actually flows through the banks of the Colorado. In fact, first sliced up 100 years ago in a document known as the Colorado River Compact, the calculation of who gets what amount of that water may never have been balanced. Fisherman on a boat float on the Colorado River, June 27, 2021, near Burns, Colo. (Hugh Carey/The Colorado Sun via AP) “The framers of the compact — and water leaders since then — have always either known or had access to the information that the allocations they were mak...

Spotty fall colors likely in New England amid drought

AWARA MUSAFIR BUREAU

September 9, 2022228 Views

This summer’s drought is expected to cause a patchy array of fall color starting earlier in the leaf-peeping haven of New England, U.S. while the autumn colors are likely to be muted and not last as long in the drought- and heat-stricken areas of the south. In New England, experts anticipate the season, which typically peaks in October, to be more spread out with some trees changing earlier or even browning and dropping leaves because of the drought. Other places, like Texas, could see colors emerging later in the fall due to warm temperatures. “We will still have brilliant colors in New England because of the fact that we have so many different kinds of trees and they’re growing on kind of ridges, and kind of slopes and wetlands,” said Richard Primack, a professor of plant ecology ...
