Hurricane Milton Leaves A Trail Of Destruction Across Florida
Hurricane Milton Leaves A Trail Of Destruction Across Florida Catastrophic flooding and power outages affect millions as state struggles to cope with the aftermathHurricane Milton has swept through Florida with devastating effects, leaving millions without power and causing significant damage. With winds reaching up to 120 mph at landfall, Milton struck near Siesta Key on the west coast, delivering torrential rains and deadly tornadoes across the state. The National Hurricane Center classified Milton as a Category 3 hurricane upon its arrival, emphasizing the urgent need for evacuation among low-lying areas and barrier islands. The landfall of Hurricane Milton has acted as both a wake-up call and stark reminder of the impact of climate change on storm activities and the frequency of catastrophic events for states routinely experiencing hurricane threats. While the floodwaters recede, and reports of damages continue to develop, it is clear the scars left by Hurricane Milton will remain embedded across communities within this pivotal time.

Interest rates will be higher in the future, especially if Trump is president
The Fed sets interest rates for the immediate future. And for two reasons, interest rates are likely to be higher, perhaps much higher, in the coming decade than in the prior one. That would suggest that the economy has become less vulnerable to higher interest rates. There’s no good way to predict the impact, if any, on U.S. interest rates. Higher inflation would aggravate the deficit’s impact on interest rates; lower inflation, a demand for bonds by an aging population or panicked investors would soften it.

In Tokyo, the Taro Nasu gallery focuses on conceptual art
When I stepped into the Taro Nasu gallery, I commented that it felt quite spacious — at least, more so than I had expected. "Maybe for Tokyo,” said Masako Hosoi, the gallery’s director. "But Taro is always trying to make his gallery as small as possible, that’s his theory,” she said, referring to the owner, Taro Nasu, who is also a director. "We can’t be a big gallery just like those in London, Paris, Berlin. We can’t compete with them.”The Taro Nasu gallery is on the upper level of a four-story building in the heart of Roppongi, an entertainment and business district in Tokyo known for its museums and galleries.

A New York Times Correspondent on His Family and the Chinese Imperium
Growing up around Washington, D.C., Edward Wong didn’t know about his father’s past in the People’s Liberation Army. As an adult, he probed those secrets over decades, including during his nine years as a New York Times correspondent and bureau chief in China, when he reported widely across the country, including in the frontier regions where his father had served. He talks about researching his father’s role in the air force and the army of the 1950s, the initial military occupation of Xinjiang, and the reconstitution of the Qing Empire under Communist rule from Mao to Xi. This public lecture is organized by the 21st Century China Center at the UC San Diego School of Global Policy and Strategy. For more information on China activities, please visit china.ucsd.edu.
