Myron Hubbard Hunt (February 27, 1868 – May 26, 1952) was an American architect whose numerous projects include many noted landmarks in Southern California; most notably, the Rose Bowl Stadium, where the University of Michigan Football team appears routinely on New Year’s Day. Hunt was elected a Fellow in the American Institute of Architects in 1908.
A conversation with Bjorn Lomborg, a visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution, the president of the Copenhagen Consensus Center, and one of the foremost climate experts in the world today. His new book — “False Alarm: How Climate Change Panic Costs Us Trillions, Hurts the Poor, and Fails to Fix the Planet” — is an argument for treating climate as a serious problem but not an extinction-level event requiring such severe and drastic steps as rewiring a large part of the culture and the economy.

Randall Thompson’s “Frostiana” is a choral cycle based on the poems of Robert Frost. The cycle consists of settings for mixed chorus and piano, and it was premiered in 1959. “Frostiana” was commissioned to celebrate the bicentennial of the town of Amherst, Massachusetts, and it features seven of Frost’s poems set to music by Thompson.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” is one of the poems included in the “Frostiana” cycle. The composition captures the reflective and contemplative mood of Frost’s poem, where the narrator pauses to admire the beauty of a snowy evening in a quiet forest. Randall Thompson’s musical setting adds another layer to Frost’s words, enhancing the emotional impact of the poem.
Thompson’s approach in “Frostiana” is characterized by its accessibility and tonal clarity. His settings aim to convey the meaning and atmosphere of Frost’s poetry through the expressive power of choral music. The entire “Frostiana” cycle is a celebration of both Thompson’s skill as a composer and Frost’s enduring contribution to American literature.
“Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”
By Robert FrostThis is one of my favourite English poems. It is vivid, melancholic, and wistful. The imagery and the final lines have stuck with me for years.

The University was founded by George Pepperdine, a successful businessman who found his fortune in the automobile industry (founding Western Auto) and became a philanthropist.

The Malibu campus of Pepperdine University is situated on approximately 830 acres on the Pacific Ocean. Student enrollment runs about 8000; undergraduate and graduate.
“Whether we are scientists or engineers, homemakers or business leaders, we must all assume responsibility not only for the kind of jobs we do but also for the kind of people we are.
Education in a Christian environment helps develop and mold tomorrow’s leaders.”
— George Pepperdine (1886-1962)
Diwali, the Festival of Lights celebrated in India, features a delightful array of traditional foods. Sweets like ‘gulab jamun,’ deep-fried dough soaked in sugar syrup, and ‘jalebi,’ spiral-shaped saffron-scented pastries, are ubiquitous. ‘Ladoo,’ sweet gram flour balls, and ‘barfi,’ a milk-based fudge, are also popular. Savory treats include ‘namkeen’ like ‘chakli’ and ‘mathri,’ crispy snacks, along with ‘samosas’ and ‘pakoras,’ fried dumplings filled with various fillings.
Families often exchange these delectable creations and offer them as offerings to deities, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and the spirit of togetherness during this joyous festival.
