Lifestyle Recipe by Stephanie NassPhoto courtesy of Stockton Johnson Lifestyle I was determined to create a pasta-derived dessert to surprise and delight. I thought of cannoli, a dessert beloved by my family, best bought on Arthur Avenue in the Bronx or Mulberry Street in Lower Manhattan. It occurred to me that rigatoni’s wide tubular shape is similar to cannoli. Bam! Fried rigatoni could become the cannoli tube, filled with sweetened ricotta and cocoa powder. Makes about 30 cannoli; serves 8 ½ pound of rigatoni Kosher salt Vegetable oil 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 cup whole milk ricotta 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar graham crackers, crumbled Instructions: Cook the rigatoni in a pot of salted boiling water according to the package instructions. Once tender, drain the pasta. Set aside pieces that have broken. Blot the winners dry with paper towels. Roll them in about a tablespoon of oil...

Perhaps your boat, RV or snowmobiles needs an off-season home? How about a spacious workshop? Something generically called fabric structures are worth considering. They’re made by a handful of companies, it’s a mature technology that’s been around since the early 1990s, and I’m putting one up now. This approach offers unique advantages over a regular frame building, as I’ve discovered. THIS CONTENT IS RESERVED FOR SUBSCRIBERS ONLY Subscribe now to read the latest news in your city and across Canada.Exclusive articles from Elizabeth Payne, David Pugliese, Andrew Duffy, Bruce Deachman and others.

August 12, 2025 AI ecosystems are moving fast, and smart leaders are considering all options when it comes to staying competitive. Amit Joshi is a professor at IMD Business School, and he argues that leaders should be looking to Chinese technology as a possible way to power up their strategies and growth. The adoption comes with some risks that leaders must be aware of, Joshi explains, but a careful combination of multiple AI tools could be the answer. He also explains just how far Chinese AI platforms have come since the arrival of DeepSeek, what makes them different, and examples of how companies are integrating them into their tech stacks the right way. Joshi is coauthor of the HBR article...

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things, from single-celled bacteria to plants and animals containing vast numbers of them. Cells have adapted for a wide variety of settings and functions. Nerve cells in humans and animals, for example, have long, thin extensions that rapidly transmit signals, while rigid, blocky cells support the structure of plants. Cell biology is the study of cell structure, function, and behavior. For humans, scientists in this field explore the mechanisms of diseases from bone loss to cancer and work on developing treatments. Cell-based experiments on The International Space Station help identify how spaceflight affects people and other living systems, with applications for future space exploration and life on Earth. Recent experiments have revealed that individual animal cells react to the effects of gravity, but how they do so is largely...
