E.U. Urges Nations to Require Negative Covid Tests for Travelers From China
BRUSSELS — The European Union on Wednesday “strongly encouraged” its 27 member nations to require a negative Covid-19 test for travelers boarding flights from China to the region, amid a surge in coronavirus cases in the country and Beijing’s lifting of its draconian travel restrictions.

Consumption of Marijuana Edibles Surges Among Children, Study Finds
The accidental consumption of marijuana edibles, such as brownies and gummies, among children under the age of 6 has surged in recent years as more states have legalized the recreational use of pot, a new study has found.

The Cheetahs Made a Kill. Then the Safari Trucks Swarmed In.
The video surfaced online around October. Filmed from a distance, it shows an antelope grazing on the African plain. Suddenly, two cheetahs race toward it and the antelope takes off, running toward the camera. But the cats are too fast. They converge on it and bring it down. They begin to feed. Almost at that…

A Celebratory Afghan Dish Dripping With Sunshine
With norinj pilau, he does the work of washing, drying and peeling the oranges, leaving behind as much of the white pith as he can. Then he cuts the peels into skinny strips using a razor blade and brings them to a boil three times, as if performing a task in a fairy tale. Each…
I’m Worried About a Fancy Cat in This Frigid Weather. Help!
Over the summer, a Bengal cat appeared on our back porch. (Bengals are an expensive breed of domestic cat that resemble tiny leopards.) It was meowing urgently and was much too thin. I could see its ribs. It had no identification, so I fed it a can of salmon because it wasn’t clear whether anyone…
How Luxury Rental Services Are Changing Our Relationship With Fashion
I first learned about fashion rental services through the classic yet divisive 2008 film, Sex and the City: The Movie. Jennifer Hudson’s Louise (from St. Louis) dropped the deets on her designer bag with the oft-quoted line, “It’s rented; Bag Borrow or Steal—it’s like Netflix for purses.” Nearly 15 years have passed since the movie…
