In 1986 I pitched an expedition to Guinness World Records, from my hometown of Minnesota to Argentina. The final expedition I did for Guinness World Records, from Tunisia to South Africa, included a back-breaking stretch across the Congo. It became the first of what we’d go on to call the Blue Zones. Even now, I try to live like the people I met in the Blue Zones. Blue Zones Kitchen One Pot Meals by Dan Buettner is out on September 2 in the US, and September 8 in the UK.

(Reuters) -British motorists can now lease a Tesla (TSLA) electric vehicle for just over half of what they would have paid a year ago, The Times reported on Monday, citing industry sources. Tesla has been forced to offer discounts of up to 40% to car leasing companies to shift more units, the report said. The discounts are also due to the lack of storage space for Tesla vehicles in the UK, the report said. Tesla's July sales in the UK fell about 60% to 987 units in July, according to the latest data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). Battery electric vehicles are now projected to account for 23.8% of new registrations in 2025, slightly up from SMMT's previous forecast of 23.5%.

There are not enough reservoirs and leaks from those already built plus pipes send water levels plunging. Prickend Pond is at the lowest point of the common, and water travels there through ditches and drains. In 1960, a pipe was laid from Rush Pond to Prickend Pond so that water might flow from one to the other. But in recent years the water in Rush Pond has not been high enough to reach the overflow.

President Trump told European leaders after his meeting with President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Friday in Alaska that he supported a plan to end the war in Ukraine by ceding unconquered territory to the Russian invaders, rather than try for a cease-fire, according to two senior European officials who were briefed on the call. Mr. Trump will discuss that plan with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Monday at the White House, and there were discussions on Saturday about whether other European officials would join him, the officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss private talks. After his meeting with Mr. Putin, Mr. Trump has dropped his demand for an immediate cease-fire and believes a rapid peace treaty can be negotiated, so long as Mr. Zelensky agrees to cede the rest of the Donbas region to Russia, even those areas not occupied by Russian troops. Mr. Zelensky and the European leaders have strongly opposed such a concession of unoccupied land, which also contains important defensive lines and is mineral rich. Ukrainian officials have said that a final deal cannot involve Kyiv agreeing to cede any Ukrainian sovereign territory permanently, which would violate the Ukrainian Constitution.
