Image
US funding cuts will lead to an additional 2,000 new HIV infections each day and over six million further deaths over the next four years, the UNAids chief has warned.

UNAids Executive Director Winnie Byanyima said the US government's decision to pause foreign aid - which included funding for HIV programmes - was already having devastating consequences.

The 7 Wonders of New Jersey: From Natural Marvels to a Majestic Refinery

Image
The Seven Marvels of the Early World encompassed a temple, lighthouse, statue, mausoleum, and gardens. The Seven Wonders of New Jersey are far more impressive; they feature a temple even grander than the Temple of Artemis, and we have so many lighthouses that we couldn't settle for just one. The same goes for our gardens and statues. Our seven wonders form quite a varied list: the state’s most awe-inspiring (or hair-raising) bridge; a refinery you can tour by car; and the peak representing the state’s tallest spot. Several deserving entries did not make the cut: the George Washington Bridge, Eagle Rock Reservation, Island Beach State Park, Lucy the Elephant, Delaware Water Gap, The Great Swamp, Mount Mitchill, Palisades Interstate Park, and the Trenton Makes the World Takes sign (Alright, I admit my local bias is showing here).

Five Books That Transport You to Brand-New Realms

An entire cosmos can fit inside a solitary mind. However, the barriers separating individual thoughts typically remain insurmountable outside of literature. It falls upon writers to connect their readers' experiences with the inner worlds of their characters so seamlessly that audiences develop an intimate understanding of these realms, regardless of how outlandish they might be. Regardless of where this narrative unfolds, skillfully crafted tales can transport readers from everyday realities into wholly different universes. Initially, such settings might seem incomprehensible or bizarre due to vastly differing viewpoints. Nevertheless, through the power of storytelling, we learn to identify and empathize with these unfamiliar terrains—even though something solid and clear-cut for us could appear nebulous and dreamlike to others. Encountering a different world involves multiple dimensions. This could be an imagined realm or just a fleeting look into an alternate existence. Al...
