‘I Want a Home’: ‘Sentimental Value’ and Art as a Search for Connection
Reading time: about 6 minutesThis review contains spoilers for Sentimental Value and mentions of depression and suicide. Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value received nine nominations for this year’s Academy Awards — the most any Norwegian film has received — including Best Picture and four acting nominations. A centerpiece of the film is the family house, which Agnes presently lives in with her husband and young son Erik. In a later meeting with Nora, Rachel admits she still doesn’t understand this action. Maybe there is a way forward out of these cycles and their residual pain, and maybe Gustav is looking for a way out too.

‘Lasers and Photonics’: The Class Where Building a Laser Is Part of the Lesson
Reading time: about 5 minutesIn their first semester, some Cornell engineering students don’t just learn about lasers in class — they build them. This hands-on intensity is exactly what stood out to students in ENGRI 1100: “Lasers and Photonics.”“I didn’t really know anything about applied and engineering physics. “And then I saw that in this class we were able to build the nitrogen laser and we did it over six weeks. In the construction lab, students build their own nitrogen laser system, which uses nitrogen gas to produce pulses of ultraviolet light. Early labs explore physical phenomena, such as the reflection of polarized light— light where waves vibrate in a singular direction, rather than all directions.

Rifat powers Odommo to victory in CCDM T20
DHAKA, Jan 27, 2026 (BSS) - A fluent half-century from opener Rifat Sanjid Shihab gave Odommo a winning start to the CCDM T20 Challenge Cup as they edged Odityo team past by four wickets at National Cricket Ground in Purbachal, Dhaka today. Shadat Hridoy claimed 3-13 to play an important bowling, which eventually enabled Odommo to restrict Oditiyo for a meager 125-7. Rifat Sanjid then hit 35 ball-52 with six fours and two sixes to anchor the chase, guiding the side to victory in 19.1 overs as Odommo reached 131-6. He almost single-handedly crafted the chase amid the wickets tumbling around him as Oditiyo sensed a victory by defending the paltry total. After taking three wickets with the bowling, Hridoy made 18 for second-best individual knock for Odommo.

PayPal shows interest in Bangladesh: Lutfey Siddiqi
"On the sidelines of the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting last week in Davos, Switzerland, I held a meeting with PayPal . Siddiqi was briefing the media about his engagements in the WEF meeting in Davos at the Foreign Service Academy here this afternoon. Siddiqi said that discussions between Bangladesh authorities and PayPal were ongoing for many years, although for various reasons the company had not previously been willing to engage in here. Siddiqi said during the WEF meeting in Davos, he joined 18 to 20 pre-scheduled bilateral meetings at ministerial or head-of-government level. Siddiqi said the meeting with Scott Bessent focused on reciprocal tariff negotiations between Bangladesh and the United States.

The Home Adviser urged the host countries to send back what he termed militants and fascists to Bangladesh.

Annual Supervisors Workshop: After six years of watching, I’m sitting this one out
Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn Share on WhatsApp Share via Email Share via SMS Copy LinkFor the past six years, I have attended Nevada County’s annual three-day Board of Supervisors “workshop” as a citizen observer. The County presents this workshop as a strategic planning session where Board objectives for the coming year are shaped. Year after year, the same objectives reappear: homelessness, housing, economic development, broadband, emergency preparedness, climate resilience, cannabis regulation. There is no presentation from the Sheriff’s Department, despite ongoing discussions about homelessness, public safety impacts, and emergency response. By consolidating objectives and making them countywide priorities, the annual workshop could shift from managing presentations to producing results.

Yousuf questions ICC governance: Cricket must be ruled by principles, not influence
Pakistani batting legend Mohammad Yousuf has issued a scathing critique of the International Cricket Council (ICC), accusing the global body of compromising the sport's integrity by ignoring Bangladesh's “legitimate security concerns” regarding the T20 World Cup in India. Yousuf’s comments come days after the ICC officially replaced Bangladesh with Scotland following the BCB's refusal to play in India due to safety fears. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday night, the former captain highlighted the sheer magnitude of the Bangladeshi fanbase to underscore the ICC's strategic blunder. “In a sport that relies globally on viewership, ignoring the legitimate security concerns of Bangladesh raises serious questions about consistency and governance,” Yousuf wrote. Cricket must be governed by principles, not influence.”Yousuf joins a growing chorus of former Pakistani greats, including Shahid Afridi and Jason Gillespie, in condemning the decision.
