Is it a sign of the a-jaw-calypse? Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, the New York area has seemingly been under siege from a veritable sharknado in 2026 — with a spike in sightings and close encounters of the big fish kind. This month alone, authorities have temporarily red-flagged or shuttered beaches from Long Island to The Rockaways, where an alleged “swarm” of suspected bull sharks, typically found in warmer climes than ours, was spotted offshore. Meanwhile, just a couple of weekends ago, a swimmer was savaged off Jones Beach by a suspected…

California Pizza Kitchen, with their nearly 50 locations across the Golden State and 200 world-wide, actually owe their name to Rhode Island. Rick Rosenfield and Larry Flax, who launched the first CPK in Beverly Hills in 1985, were considering more typical Italian restaurant-sounding names when they had dinner with a couple from Providence. “They said, well, ‘With those other names, if you open in Providence, it would just be another Italian restaurant,’” Rosenfield recalled. “But if you open a California Pizza Kitchen in Providence, we want to go see what you fruits and nuts are up to.” And that was…

A year ago, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Donald Trump struck a trade deal in Turnberry, Scotland, shaking hands under the spotlight of the world’s media after weeks of trade disputes. Defended by the Commission as the best deal it could secure, the agreement imposed 15 percent US tariffs on imports from the EU, while the EU committed to removing its duties on most US industrial products. The Europeans also pledged to invest €520 billion in the US and purchase €700 billion in US energy by 2028, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), oil and nuclear…

Co-legislators struck a deal on 15 June to update air passenger rights. The Parliament approved it on 7 July (646 to 12), and the Council on 13 July. The Commission first proposed updating the rules in 2013, but negotiations failed due to differing views among co-legislators over the level of protection. In June, the Parliament effectively won the battle by rejecting the Council’s attempt to water down protections. It kept most rights for flight disruptions while securing clearer reimbursement procedures, greater price transparency and a ban of no-show flights. While airlines’ representatives consider it a missed opportunity, MEP Andrey Novakov…
