By MONIKA SCISLOWSKA and VANESSA GERA (Associated Press)WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy won new pledges of deeper cooperation on a state visit to Poland on Wednesday as the neighbors sought to forge a tighter relationship in defiance of Russia’s full-scale war against Kyiv that has reshaped international alliances.Polish President Andrzej Duda said his country has provided four Soviet-designed MiG-29 fighter jets to Ukraine to help it beat back the Kremlin’s assault. Four more are in the process of being handed over and another six are being prepared, he said.Zelenskyy said at a news conference with Duda that his government would “extend a hearty welcome” to Polish businesses seeking to help Ukraine’s postwar rebuilding, which the World Bank has estimated could cost $411 billion. He met later with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and said he would sign agreements on developing Ukrainian infrastructure.Poland heaped m...

Wallie the Sensei Brings Wisdom to the Roxy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:31 GMT

Wallie the Sensei Brings Wisdom to the Roxy: One of our first music interviews of this year was with rising Compton rapper Wallie the Sensei, and for good reason. His Here 2 Stay release gave us a great start to 2023.“My city is the reason I am who I’ve become, even outside of music,” he told us. “The way I dress, how I talk and my overall experiences as a man. The music is only giving you a small feel of how it really is growin’ up here. It’s a much smaller place than what people think it is. From the way of life to the slang, everything is different. I’m a product of where I’m from.” Later in the same feature, he said, “My last project was me expressing where I was at the moment; I just kinda laid everything out how I was feeling. This mixtape mechanically shows how I evolved as an artist. It has me experimenting. My recording process when I dropped my first project took me 2-4 hours per song, but now I can crack out records anywhere between 30 minutes – 1 hour while doing even mo...

Feeling Sexy? Beware of New Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea Strain

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:31 GMT

Just when you thought catching cooties isn’t all that scary anymore, they’re back and one strain is quite difficult to get rid of! There’s a newly-observed, drug-resistant gonorrhea strain that doesn’t respond to common antibiotics and it can become a problem.How This Drug-Resistant Gonorrhea Strain Could Become a Global Concern:We can’t help it — it’s natural to crave sex. However, having sex these days is riskier than ever. Because more people can catch the drug-resistant strain of Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Experts from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control say that this strain of STD is difficult to treat with antibiotics like Tetracycline, Ciprofloxacin, Cefixime, Ceftriaxone, Cefotaxime, and Azithromycin. Unfortunately, there isn’t a vaccine against this type of Sexually-Transmitted Disease either.An antibiotic-resistant STD can become a huge problem in the future because Neisseria gonorrhoeae might eventually become almost impossible to treat with the resou...

If you’re familiar with nature, you probably already know what a cocklebur is — and South Korean researchers recently learned about its new benefit to the skin!Will Cocklebur Be A Part of My Anti-Aging Regimen?Every so often, new skincare ingredients become popular for their anti-aging benefits; we witnessed the trend where people recommended the use of retinol, hyaluronic acid, snail slime, vitamin C, niacinamide, etc. Recently, however, Myongji University researchers discovered that the cocklebur — a type of weed that grows in some parts of Central Asia, Southern Europe, and China — is said to also have anti-aging properties.The researchers from South Korea used a 3D tissue model (with cell structures that are similar to human skin) for the experiment. They then applied cocklebur fruit extracts and found that the col...

UNBINGED is here to help you weed through it all, with reviews of the latest shows that highlight what we love, what we hate and what we love to hate-watch, too.It has been said that the medium through which we choose to communicate might hold as much value as the message itself. So where does that leave streaming content hoping to make a statement? The hottest new shows seem to be driven by an important message, but will folks stick around to learn something or gain insight  if they’re indifferent to the story or characters?

(Un)Reality: Arts Calendar April 6-12

Artists engage with the nature of reality, the balance of theory and history, and how to infuse tradition with new life; the bookstore lets you sleep over, a photographer goes chasing waterfalls, literary soul mates communicate across time; the state poet laureate, a guided walk along a particularly interesting stretch of the river, a campy film classic gets a new live reading.Enrique Agudo at Vellum LAThursday, April 6Enrique Agudo: Ipseity at Vellum LA.

Recipes: Creme caramel, panna cotta and other delicious desserts for spring

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 16:12:31 GMT

Whether it’s an Easter feast or a springtime party, my menus often conclude with a dessert of coconut cake or strawberry shortcakes. Winners, indeed. But a sweet, recent eat-athon at my house changed my plans.In decades, past crème caramel was a frequent treat at my home. It’s a tradition that has mostly fallen by the wayside, for me, but a recent spring dinner party left me with the most delightful leftovers: a generous half portion stored in the fridge. My daughter and granddaughter stopped in for a quick visit, and the two of them, bit by bit, bowl by bowl, polished it off. Glee filled their faces. Sweet bliss.Ah, crème caramel, that eggy caramel custard that bakes atop a layer of caramel. It’s baked in a bain-marie — the baking dish nestled into a hot water bath in the oven — then chilled and inverted onto a serving dish. The result: a welcome puddle of caramelized sugar coats the surface of the luscious custard.It’s known as flan in Spanish-s...
