‘In the Pamir Mountains, there’s salted yak milk every morning for breakfast. You stay warm at night on the floor in the yurt burning yak dung in the furnace’ My parents and grandparents migrated to the US from Afghanistan in 1979, just a few weeks before the Soviets invaded. I grew up in Los Angeles, but would visit my grandfather in Virginia once a year. He would always make photographs and film little interviews. It was his enthusiasm in capturing moments of our everyday lives that sparked my interest in documenting the world around me. I was six when 9/11 happened. From that point on, the domestic and global perception of my motherland was always driven by the negative connotations drawn from the headlines – terrorism, war, images of sandstorms, guns and desperation. But at home in LA, I would see the beauty of our culture, the food, the handicrafts, the art we had on the walls, the music and poetry, and the stories, artifacts and photographs my parents had from their time in Afghanistan. Their photographs from the 60s and 70s showcased the country at a time when it flourished. One day, I told myself, I’m going to make a project that shows the world another side of this incomplete story. Continue reading...

Andy/iStock via Getty Images Prime Medicine ( PRME ) added ~8% in the premarket on Wednesday after an arbitration tribunal sided with the gene editing company in connection with a previously disclosed dispute with its rival Beam Therapeutics ( BEAM ). The dispute arose after Beam ( BEAM ), in a case filed with the American Arbitration Association, alleged that Prime ( PRME ) breached a 2019 collaboration and license agreement by developing PM647, an investigational gene-editing drug. In a press release on Wednesday, the company said the tribunal determined that the treatment targeted at a genetic disorder called alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency “is within Prime Medicine’s “Field” as defined by the agreement.” The tribunal added that the company is therefore not liable for any monetary damages, as it has not breached the agreement. “We are pleased with the Tribunal’s decision, which paves the way for PM647 to advance into the clinic and positions us to fully realize PM647’s potential for patients,” Prime ( PRME ) CEO Allan Reine said.

Market strategist Ed Yardeni said the rupture in the ceasefire between the US and Iran risks sparking a fresh acceleration in price growth, which in turn could compel the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. “Inflation concerns are back in play and as a result of that, the Fed is back in play,” Yardeni said Wednesday on Bloomberg Television’s Surveillance . “Not only has the Fed pivoted to tig...
Market strategist Ed Yardeni said the rupture in the ceasefire between the US and Iran risks sparking a fresh acceleration in price growth, which in turn could compel the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates. “Inflation concerns are back in play and as a result of that, the Fed is back in play,” Yardeni said Wednesday on Bloomberg Television’s Surveillance . “Not only has the Fed pivoted to tightening, but they may actually have to tighten.” The comments by the president and founder of Yardeni Research followed President Donald Trump’s warning that the tentative ceasefire with Iran may be over, raising the prospect of an end to peace negotiations and a potential renewal of fighting. Trump commented after the US launched a fresh wave of strikes against the Islamic Republic and revoked a waiver that allowed the sale of Iranian oil. Crude spiked higher, global stocks fell and US Treasuries hit session lows. Brent crude, the global benchmark, had recently erased its wartime gains as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz picked up. But on Wednesday, prices surged past $79 a barrel in intraday trading , the highest level in more than two weeks as Iran also said that the US attacks and the block on oil sales had rendered last month’s interim peace deal “ineffective.” “This is a geopolitical crisis that just won’t go away, won’t end,” Yardeni said. “We’re back to square one, in some ways, back to where we were in March.” Yardeni said even as the US labor market seems stable, “all bets could be off here depending on what happens with the Middle East. The consumer has been doing just great,” he said. But risks remain “if we get another spike in gasoline prices.” Fed policymakers have generally sought to look past energy prices as transitory. Still, that pressure has squeezed consumers and contributed to the consumer price index climbing to a three-year high in May . Average gasoline prices were below $3 a gallon before the US and Israel launched their strikes against...

Love them or hate them, the versatile sandal is back – just choose the right ones and wear them the Copenhagen way The flip-flop is an essential text of summer style. The Dalai Lama wears flip-flops. Surfers wear flip-flops. They are a beach classic, a staple of campsite shower blocks, non-negotiable after a pedicure. Like a pair of blue jeans or a cloth tote bag, they have a utility that transcends fashion. But when flip-flops step out of their lane – when they become a fashion shoe, a public-facing shoe – rather than a shoe you leave by the back door – they raise hackles. Every single time we get a heatwave, a lively debate about whether flip-flops are acceptable in the office follows, without ever being resolved. When Jennifer Lawrence wore flip-flops under her Dior gown on the Cannes red carpet in 2023, there was an outcry over the perceived flouting of the film festival’s “elegant footwear” policy.
