As wildfires burn in Canada, an ‘unprecedented’ blanket of smoke hangs over Minnesota – The haze contains hundreds of pollutants, said Daniel Dix, a supervisor of the Minnesota Pollution and Control Agency’s air quality team. These can have severe health impacts, particularly among older adults, teenagers and children, and especially to those with conditions such as asthma. “These levels of particulates can be very irritating to the respiratory system, and they can also have impacts for people with heart disease as well,” said Jessie Schmool, an epidemiologist at the Minnesota Department of Health. And as the majority of the state enters into the air quality index’s red and purple categories, which denote unhealthy and very unhealthy levels respectively, between Saturday and Monday, state officials urge everyone — regardless of their age and health — to limit their air exposure.

A cookbook from Bengal chronicles an alternative history of women – The book features many simple recipes that can still be found in many Bengali homes—torkaris, chechkris, jhols and jhals sit comfortably throughout the 100-page book. Most of these recipes in the book are Bengali home-style dishes, possibly reflecting the kind of food that Indira Debi and Purnima Thakur ate on an everyday basis. However, since they were members of a cosmopolitan and influential family, it is not surprising to see dishes that extend beyond traditional Bengali cuisine. While there are jhols (a word typically used to denote dishes with light gravies) and jhals (a word used to describe dishes with spicy gravies), there are several vegetarian as well as meat dishes that Thakur refers to as ‘curry’, a term that is a departure from the Bengali culinary lexicon.
