Pineapple and ham belong together

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:36:44 GMT

By Eric Kim, The New York TimesHiwa Rosario is celebrating Easter a week early this year. The actual holiday weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for her business, Farm to Jar Hawaii. She’ll be setting up shop at Ward Centre in Honolulu to sell her coveted pineapple glazes, which her customers buy to deck out their holiday hams. The balanced combination of tangy, sweet fruit and salty, savory pork is, she said, “a perfect union.”Pineapple and ham belong together — on Easter tables and, yes, on pizza. They look alike, too: When scored for roasting, the ham’s diamond pattern mimics the pineapple’s quilted peel, nature’s manifestation of the golden spiral.Early 20th-century recipes for ham with pineapple — like the ones that appeared in women’s magazine ads for Hawaiian Pineapple Co., now known as Dole — are still beloved today. Rosy ham, bejeweled with rings of canned pineapple, whole cloves and maraschino cherries, is a classic. But that doesn’t mean it’s not d...

Diversity and interculturalism in government communication

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 07:36:44 GMT

Multilingualism plays a crucial role in intercultural communication and understanding, as it allows individuals to bridge cultural divides by using multiple languages in their everyday lives. Developing effective language strategies is important for governments to promote successful intercultural communication, writes Ipek Tekdemir (pictured, below), a political analyst and strategic communication advisor, working in the European Parliament.The impact of globalization, digitalization, and mass media will only further increase the importance of multilingualism in the future. However, there is ongoing debate about how much individuals can protect their own language and culture against dominant societies that are economically and politically stronger.Multilingualism, identity, and culture are closely linked, and an individual's use of a second language may cause their own culture to be assimilated. As such, it is important to maintain and celebrate one's own culture, while also embraci...

His net worth increased more than $50 billion in the past year to $211 billion.This shouldn’t come as a surprise to Musk, whose position wobbled on the Forbes’ “Real-Time Billionaire’s” list, which is updated daily, for the past several months.

Forbes explained that his wealth had fallen because his $44 billion Twitter purchase funded by Tesla shares scared investors and sent Tesla stock sinking sharply last year.
