F1 Schedule Continues to Grow With New Races

There are more Formula 1 races than ever, and next season there will be even more, with 24 races, the most in the sport’s history.This year’s Formula 1 schedule, at 23 events, should have set the record, but the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was canceled because of the extreme rainfall that devastated the region. That event, at the Imola circuit in Italy, will return on May 19, 2024, and will be the seventh race of the year.Also returning to the calendar is the Chinese Grand Prix, which was last held at the Shanghai International Circuit in 2019. Formula 1 and the Chinese race’s promoter have a contract through 2025, and next year’s Grand Prix will be on April 21, the season’s fifth race.“Now there’s a lot of people really into racing and Formula 1 who can’t wait to go back there — also myself...
Will Restart of Student Loan Payments Be the Last Straw for Consumers?

Will Restart of Student Loan Payments Be the Last Straw for Consumers?

Mykail James has a plan for when payments on her roughly $75,000 in student loans restart next month. She’ll cut back on her “fun budget” — money reserved for travel and concerts — and she expects to limit her holiday spending.“With the holidays coming up — I have a really big family — we will definitely be scaling back how much we’re spending on Christmas and how many things we can afford,” Ms. James said. “It’s just going to be a tighter income overall.”In October, roughly 27 million borrowers like Ms. James will once again be on the hook for repaying their federal student loans after a three-year hiatus. President Biden tried to use his executive powers to forgive about $400 billion in student debt last year, but the Supreme Court overruled that decision in June, and payments kick in ag...

Three Shots for Fall: What You Need to Know

Most Americans have had one or more shots of the flu and Covid vaccines. New this year are the first shots to protect older adults and infants from respiratory syncytial virus, a lesser-known threat whose toll in hospitalizations and deaths may rival that of the flu.Federal health officials are hoping that widespread adoption of these immunizations will head off another “tripledemic” of respiratory illnesses, like the one seen last winter. For people with insurance, all of the vaccines should be available at no cost.“This is an embarrassment of riches,” said Dr. Ofer Levy, director of the precision vaccines program at Boston Children’s Hospital and an adviser to the Food and Drug Administration.Here’s what he and other experts say about who should receive which immunizations, and when.What...

U.A.W. Prepares for Partial Strike Against Detroit Automakers on Friday

Barely 24 hours before the contract deadline, the United Auto Workers leader said Wednesday that his members were prepared for a strike against the three Detroit automakers — first at a limited number of factories, with the walkout expanding if talks remain bogged down.The U.A.W. president, Shawn Fain, also ruled out any extension of the existing four-year contracts with General Motors, Ford Motor and Stellantis after they expire on Thursday night. “September 14 is a deadline, not a reference point,” he declared in an address to union members on Facebook Live.He said the initial strike locations would be “limited and targeted,” and would be communicated to members on Thursday night ahead of a Friday walkout.This tactic — a departure from the union’s usual strategy of staging an all-out str...

The Fine Art of Naming a Group Chat

Ashley Kozich, 30, who works for a community foundation and lives in Fort Lauderdale, has a group chat with her eight best friends she met as a student at the University of Mississippi. In the last year a lot of them have had babies, so they now highlight the most recently born as the group photo.But the group name it here to stay: “The Sorry People.” “In college we were a really rowdy group of girls, and we would cause chaos and trouble wherever we went,” Ms. Kozich said. “In the mornings we would have to go on these apology tours and say sorry for whatever we did.”The name, she said, has developed a life of its own. “It’s been our name for over 10 years, and people ask us, ‘How are the Sorry People?’” she said. “I don’t think we could be called anything else.”Indeed, many names that star...

Matt Olson Ties Braves Season Record for Home Runs With 51

On Tuesday night, Matt Olson tied the Braves’ franchise record for home runs in a season, with 51. Trivia time: Whose record did he tie?Easy one, right? Hank Aaron.Only that’s the wrong answer: Hank Aaron, the longtime home run king, never hit 50 home runs in a season.The right answer, as surprising as it seems, isn’t Aaron or one of his fellow Hall of Famers such as Eddie Mathews and Chipper Jones. Olson, in fact, tied the record set by Andruw Jones, the slick-fielding center fielder, who hit 51 in 2005.That Aaron could get to 755 home runs, breaking Babe Ruth’s mark of 714 and holding that record until Barry Bonds came along, without ever hitting more than 47 in a single season is surely one of the most incredible statistics in the game. Instead, Aaron got to his whopping career total wi...
