Sandra Jaffe, Cofounder of New Orleans Institution Preservation Hall, Dies at 83

By opening Preservation Hall, Jaffe played a major role in preserving the unique blend of African, Caribbean, and European music known as jazz, for which New Orleans is famous for today. The famous jazz auditorium also helped to integrate the city by welcoming all audiences and artists regardless of their race during a time when the South was largely segregated. After 60 years in business, Preservation Hall remains an integral part of New Orleans' culture.

Stunning NHow Hotel in Berlin overlooking the Molecule Man

Source: Stunning NHow Hotel in Berlin overlooking the Molecule Man The NHow Hotel in Berlin, the second of the NH Hotels Group (the first is in Milan), aimed primarily at business travelers, displays a warm, vibrant atmosphere that invites guests to take advantage of its amazing properties. Located at the Osthafen of the Spree, the NHow Berlin is on the border between the artist districts of Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. This amazing result was possible thanks to the collaboration between German architect Sergei Tchoban and Egyptian designer Karim Rashid. Opened in November 2010, the boutique hotel captures design, art and music in its vibrant lifestyle. Overlooking the river, the hotel offers a provocative view of the metal sculpture Molecule Man, designed by American artist Jonathan Borofsky, allowing you to experience both the surrounding public art scene and the intriguing interiors of the welcoming property.

Source: Our view: 2016 Lexus NX 200t Editor’s note: This review was written in July 2014 for the 2015 Lexus NX 200t. In terms of content, little has changed in this year’s model. To see what’s new for 2016, click here or see a side-by-side comparison of the two model years. As compact luxury SUVs, the 2015 Lexus NX combines enough driving fun and passenger comfort to deserve a look, but anyone with serious cargo needs should look elsewhere or stick with the brand’s popular RX. As badge engineering, Toyota’s luxury division has more hits than misses. The mid-size sedan ES feels significantly better than a Toyota Camry; the GX bears little resemblance to its Toyota 4Runner sibling, inside or out. And so it goes with the NX, a car that Lexus calls “loosely related to the RAV4,” Toyota’s popular small SUV. Still, Lexus insists the NX is 90 percent composite and a 20 percent stiffer structure. In fact, the two seem like distant cousins ​​at most. The NX hits US showrooms in December a...

Best One-Piece Swimsuits You Can Buy In 2022

Source: Best One-Piece Swimsuits You Can Buy In 2022 “Best swimsuit ever!” That’s just one example of the fanfare over this classic black one-piece swimsuit. And since we know it’s from Athleta, we’re inclined to ask, “What kick-butt activities can we tackle in this versatile marvel?” So what’s the answer? Well, pretty much anything considering it’s strategically made to dry exceptionally quickly. It’s also worth noting that reviews say this one-piece suit does both when you’re deciding between an athletic suit and one with a shapewear silhouette. “You don’t need to buy a tummy tuck suit as this suit’s ruffles get the job done in an easy and stylish way,” gushed one customer, while another went straight to the point with “Loose weight!” But in the end, remember that a slimming feature is all well and good but largely unnecessary because you are beautiful. And we stand by it, especially since Alicia Keys agrees, which is one of the reasons she partnered with Athleta (via People). I...
