...typically stuffy. Suits gather at the circular bar and the ambiance is, well, avian: mallard duck colors, dark, paneled wood and forest green walls. The place oozes elegant opulence, a throwback to the rich history of its home at the Willard Intercontinental Hotel, the "residence of presidents." A steady stream of mainstay figures in American history - Abraham Lincoln, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Bill Clinton, Aretha Franklin, Elizabeth Taylor and Barack Obama, to name a few - have tread the halls of the Willard and frequented the Round Robin...
...entire lives are now one long, chaotic stream of existence: waiting in line each morning to fill up containers with water from the only working tap on the ground floor of our building; baking homemade bread from the depleting supply of flour we managed to obtain a few days into the offensive; turning on the power generator for 30 to 50 minutes in the evening to charge phones and watch the news.

Improperly disposed of, the lead, mercury and other toxic materials inside e-waste can leak from landfills. (See pictures of China's electronic waste village...

Hamas leaders insist that their political and security infrastructure remains intact, and they believe the steady stream of images of bloodshed and destruction in Gaza will be their most effective weapon against the Israeli invasion. Israel destroyed Hamas' TV station early in the bombing campaign, but the fact that it is still broadcasting by means unknown suggests that the organization, just like Israel, has placed a premium...
