If at First You Don't Succeed at Love, Try an Instagram DM (The New York Times)
When Carly Stein and Oliver Kremer matched on Hinge, they didn't make it past the messaging stage before she ghosted. But he persisted.
Stein said. Stein won. Kremer requested the microphone and performed the song in tribute to his brother, Leo Kremer, 41, who is the former bassist for the band. “It was like enchanted forest woodland vibes with ivy and lights going all across the top,” Mr. Stein said of the ambience, with string musicians and vintage velvet furniture. “We talk a lot about the ripple effects of our love,” Ms. “I would like to begin by inviting you to close your eyes and place both hands on your heart as we take a moment to come to ground, centering ourselves, invoking the source of living love, setting intentions for today’s ceremony,” she said. “I knew Carly wanted to be proposed to in nature, and I found this amazing hike,” he said. Kremer said. “While I was traveling, we FaceTimed or spoke on the phone every day.” “I had a feeling I needed to meet her before I met her.” “I was just really work focused.”

The trees are ancient, but they’re also intensely feeling the impact of man-made climate change. Ray: The vast majority of prescribed burns go as planned, and nobody gets hurt. Ray: Agencies like the Forest Service are already aiming to burn much more each year than they used to. They bring forests back to an earlier state, in which low-intensity fires ripped through quite regularly, clearing out brush and giving the ecosystem a chance to regenerate. What do we know about whether they work in the present day? My colleague, Raymond Zhong, was in the area earlier this year, following scientists at Blodgett Forest Research Station.
A Filmmaker Explores David Bowie's Life and Gets Clarity on His Own (The New York Times)
With the epic “Moonage Daydream,” Brett Morgen contended with a chameleonic star whose approach to living helped him refocus after a heart attack.
It was a message that he tried to convey in the film. “Brett Morgen has created a stunning testament to David’s lasting influence on the world,” they said in a statement delivered through a representative. “Or should we do it more in the spirit of Bowie, which may be a little more adventurous?” And they said, “Well, that’s your problem.” (He employed Paul Massey, who shared an Oscar for sound mixing on “Bohemian Rhapsody” — which Morgen said he watched 14 or 15 times — for “Moonage Daydream.”) “Should we go more toward ‘Bohemian Rhapsody,’” the 2018 Queen biopic, “and create a kind of populist singalong?” he asked. He had first pitched Bowie directly on making a hybrid nonfiction film in 2007, when the artist was already wondering how to showcase his archives, but the timing and scope wasn’t right, Morgen said. “I was sitting alone in this building, making a film about an artist whose stock in trade is isolation, and how to channel it creatively,” he said. The song, written when Bowie was around 22, ends with a repeated lyric: “I want to live.” He flatlined and was in a coma for a week, he said in a phone interview. “I felt very confident that the through line of David’s artistic life was chaos and fragmentation,” Morgen said. Not all that dissimilar — but he was creating the storms for himself.” Suddenly, the script for his film, already three years in the making, began flowing. And a lot of songs that he wrote happened during some of his trips across America.” When Morgen arrived, he took a cab to the train station and hopped aboard an Amtrak, heading west.
For Florida A&M, Getting on the Field Is Just One of Many Problems (The New York Times)

Faddoul, the punter, could not immediately register for classes because of a graduation hold — even though he has photos of himself accepting his diploma at a commencement ceremony in May. “This school is too great in so many other areas for this to be the black eye of this university.” This summer, an influx of 34 new football players and 24 players who needed summer school credits to maintain their eligibility overwhelmed the school’s skeleton compliance staff.

On a recent night after practice, Simmons told his players he expected the same effort in the classroom that they had shown on the field.
