However, the seventh graders who scored as well or better than high schoolers, Stanley found, had off-the-charts aptitude in quantitative, logical, and spatial reasoning.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

Buying old properties can be quite a gamble. Sometimes, it needs a lot of renovation and other times, it turns out to be a treasure trove full of interesting items from the bygone eras. A young couple from the United Kingdom were not expecting to find a bunch of historical artifacts when they were renovating their 165-year-old Victorian home. 26-year-old Milly and her boyfriend Louis, 27, had acquired the keys to an archaic building in March 2024. Located in South Wales, the property was unoccupied for over 5 years and when they moved in, the couple realized they needed to work on the villa before they could call it home. But as they started clearing out the villa, they found an array of items that dated back to the time before WWII.

When it comes to clothes, one writer realizes now more than ever how expansive and connected fashion truly is, especially as he's been studying abroad in England. Upon moving to England, I hadn’t really thought about my Black identity beyond the American context. As I embarked on this new journey, it was important to me to make sure I owned clothes designed by Black British designers when I arrived. On the flight to Manchester, my new home, I wore a design by Nicholas Daley, who is of Scottish and Jamaican descent. The blue pleated track pants made of cotton twill with a jacquard trim along the side seams were a gift to myself for being accepted into my Ph.D. program.
