Green is the New Black (Green Chickpeas With Black Rice and Green Tahini Dressing)
Whether it's red beans and rice or rice and chickpeas, beans and rice is the most important dish in the world. Here nutty-flavored, nutrient-dense black rice changes it up from basic brown, so do sweet green chickpeas instead of the standard blonde ones The parsley-infused tahini dressing has a bold flavor and adds a designery pale green accent to a dish that may be served hot or -- to beat the summer heat -- at room temperature.
For black rice:
1 cup black rice
2-1/2 cups water or vegetable broth
sea salt to taste
juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
In a large pot set on high heat, bring water or broth to boil. Pour in the rice. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 30 minutes. Grains will swell and become tender but retaining some chew. Drain off any remaining cooking liquid. Add sea salt to taste and lemon juice, Set aside.
For the green chickpeas:
2 cups green chickpeas, thawed (you can also use the standard blonde ones)
1 handful each mint, cilantro and flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
2-3 tablespoons green tahini dressing (recipe below)
sea salt to taste
Pour 1-1/2 cups of the chickpeas into a large bowl, reserving the remaining 1/2 cup for garnish. Add the chopped herbs to the bowl, mix together and add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the green tahini dressing. Season with sea salt.
For the green tahini dressing:
1/4 c lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1/2 cup tahini
1/2 cup water
1 cup flat-leaf Italian parsley, tightly packed (about 1/2 bunch)
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
pinch turmeric (if desired)
Whizz everything together in a blender or food processor until thick, creamy and smooth. Cover and refrigerate. Dressing will thicken as it chills. Thin with another 3-4 tablespoons of water, if desired.
Makes 1-1/2 cups, or 8 to 10 servings. Dressing keeps covered and chilled for a week.
To assemble:
Mound dressed chickpeas atop black rice, garnishing with the 1/2 cup of plain chickpeas for an extra pop. Pour remaining green tahini dressing in a bowl to drizzle on top, if desired.
Serves 4 to 6.

The purpose of this research, carried out at Argonne National Laboratory, was to learn how to control visible and near-visible light on the nanoscale (nanophotonics) with future generations of optical and electronic devices in mind.

A new way of fixing inactive proteins has been discovered in algae that uses chloroplast extracts and light to release an interrupting sequence from a protein. Many proteins contain extra sequences, called insertions, that can disrupt their function. This research demonstrates that the algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has the necessary toolkit to repair proteins by removing these insertions. This repair system may have applications in agriculture and biotechnology because it could potentially be harnessed to enable proteins to become active only in the light.

Christian Boltanski, Damián Ortega and Alice Neel impress in this year's strongly international show, while Inverleith House celebrates in style
A vision of bright reeds shimmers across the lake on the tiny island. Each is tied with a label and capped with a ceramic bell. Simple strips of Perspex, these labels appear white, then silver, then barely visible in the breeze, resembling the leaves of the willow tree above. The silvery music of the bells is the sonic equivalent of the shivering labels.
It is a beautiful sight, a son et lumiere for the Lothian landscape that doubles as a commemoration of the limitless dead. For Animitas, by the great French artist Christian Boltanski, takes its title from the Chilean roadside shrines honouring ancestral souls. Boltanski's labels are nameless, however, as if to embrace all the dead of the world. His installation murmurs now in the Scottish air, releasing its song, but those currents pass freely all over the globe.
The most beautiful gallery in Edinburgh if not Britain is Inverleith House in the botanic gardens
Alice Neel remains without precedent as a portraitist of marvellously awkward insights

Sometimes, the sum of dumb decisions can equal a great one.
For at least a decade, the Corporation of London tried to erase or partly erase a group of buildings known as the Smithfield General Market and replace it with commercial development. Part of their motive was to raise enough money to cover their liabilities for maintaining underground railway tunnels that passed underneath, so they and their developer partners stacked up their schemes with as much valuable volume as they could. Those schemes then came crashing down under the scrutiny of two public inquiries.
The chance is there to make a museum exceptional in Britain and the world, like none other

With 2004's espionage sequel The Bourne Supremacy, director Paul Greengrass changed the face of popcorn thrillers, combining the docudrama grit of Bloody Sunday with super-slick thrills that left the Bond franchise in the dust. So successful were the Bourne movies that when Greengrass and leading man Matt Damon walked away from the Robert Ludlum-inspired series after the perfect ending of 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum, the studio cooked up The Bourne Legacy, an empty actioner with a gaping hole where its star and soul should be, idly trading on the memory of past glories.
Now, after reuniting on 2010's underrated Green Zone, Damon and Greengrass are back with Jason Bourne, a breathlessly confident thriller with a self-consciously modern edge that casts its antihero adrift in a post-Snowden world of surveillance and social media. Replete with heated exchanges about the pay-off between personal privacy and public order, the new movie (written by Greengrass and his long-term editor, Christopher Rouse) combines fist-fighting with cyber-stalking in impressively ruthless fashion, barrelling through its contemporary landscape like a cinematic bull in a rolling-news china shop.
Damon injects a much needed air of humanity. His speech may be sparse, but his body is expressively talkative

“Vasek and Honza, two pupils of an elementary school in a small village, artfully move through the expositions of the Brno fair. They collect many leaflets, thoroughly inspect everything and constantly gorge themselves with various delicacies, which gives Vasek a bad stomach. The next day, however, everything is all right. These two boys, whose overactive imaginations keep them far from the top of the class, tell their classmates about their adventures, both real and made-up. In their dreamed-up world, there is an automatic machine which can fulfill one wish to everybody.” NFA.cz on IMDb

When you sign up though, you'll need to supply a valid school, student name, and birthdate, though oddly enough, not a .edu email address.
Just note that you'll only be able to stream out of market games, so you'll need an antenna to watch anything on your local Fox or CBS affiliate, and it won't get you access to nationally televised games on NBC or ESPN.

HBO's Westworld premieres on Oct. 2 at 9 p.m., just shy of two years after it was first announced in 2014.
The series is inspired by the late Michael Crichton's 1973 film in which a future-world amusement park's lifelike robots malfunction and start murdering guests. The HBO take, created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, expands on that premise in a way that touches on current tech trends.
Nolan explained in a prepared statement that he'd like the show to ask the question, "If you could be completely immersed in a fantasy, one in which you could do whatever you wanted, would you discover things about yourself that you didn't want to know?" Read more...
