After 10 years in the NHL, there are some areas where Max Domi just is what he is, but here are things the Maple Leafs should ask him to work on.

Try to think of anyone who owns two expensive things of more wildly different value than Terry Pegula of the Buffalo Bills and Sabres.

The 2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs season is coming fast but before the games truly matter, we at Editor In Leaf are taking a look at one player everyday until the puck is dropped, and what we could expect from them this time around.

EIOPA has published a new set of Guidelines on diversity considerations for the boards of directors of (re)insurers, effective from 30 January 2027.

The central Arctic is experiencing warming up to four times faster than the global average. This Arctic amplification is accompanied by large deviations in climate projections, making anticipation of high-impact, near-term regional biodiversity and climate change difficult. Several atmospheric processes contribute simultaneously to Arctic amplification and biodiversity change yet remain largely unstudied, not least because of the difficulty to access the central Arctic Ocean and conduct year-round studies. This article introduces the near- to mid-term objectives of the Tara Polar Station scoping group on “atmosphere-biosphere interactions,” with a focus on identifying and quantifying the origin and genetic composition of local and long-range transported biogenic particles that can impact biodiversity and cloud formation, the role of the stratified boundary layer on vertical fluxes of cloud seeds, bioaerosols and nutrients, and the impact of clouds on atmospheric light transmission. The Tara Polar Station is a fortified research vessel built to drift in the Arctic sea ice throughout the next 20 years in ten Tara Polaris expeditions, each lasting one and a half years. The platform allows for year-round interdisciplinary studies targeted at understanding the central Arctic Ocean ecosystem functioning, biodiversity, and climate change at the ocean-ice-atmosphere nexus. This scoping group will deploy novel and automated instruments for in situ, real-time vertical and remote sensing observations of aerosols, clouds, and radiation. The link between the biosphere and atmosphere will be investigated specifically through bio- and chemo-molecular sampling of air, clouds, ice, and water. We expect the early Tara Polaris expeditions to deliver insights that can be implemented into models for improved scenarios of Arctic change, in particular for the next few decades when we expect a regime shift in summer sea-ice presence.

The issues raised in Hayley's blog are important and its recommendations are sound. But in the current moment, we need to be clear that not all international volunteering is voluntourism.

Artists Jackie Hoving and Norm Paris led a communal Drawing Meetup in the Main Gallery at The Church in Sag Harbor. The program took place during the exhibition Here & There: The Church’s First Churchennial. Participants of all skill levels were invited to sketch the space, fellow guests, or moments of inspiration. The experience encouraged quiet observation and presence. The recurring series reflected The Church’s mission to foster creativity and community on the East End through accessible, artist-led gatherings.
