• White-Lord House // 1811
    buildingsofnewengland.com
    The White-Lord House at 31 North Washington Square in Salem, Massachusetts, is one of a row of stately brick, Federal style mansions built for wealthy 19th century merchants overlooking the bucolic Salem Common. This house was built in 1811 for merchant Stephen White by master mason Joshua Upham (1784-1858), adjacent to his brothers mansion across the street. It was later the home of merchant John W. Rogers from 1831 to 1844 and merchant Thomas P. Pingree from 1844 to 1858 before it was acquired by Nathaniel Lord in 1858 and members of the family continued to occupy the house for the next ninety years. George R. Lord (1817-1891) was a lawyer and assistant Clerk of the Courts. The exterior of the White-Lord House has changed little beyond the switch to the two-over-two sash windows sometime in the latter half of the 19th century.

    LONDON, ENGLAND - MARCH 22: Sean Brady punches Leon Edwards of Jamaica in a welterweight fight ... More during the UFC Fight Night event at The O2 on March 22, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by Jeff Bottari/Zuffa LLC)Zuffa LLCUFC London wont win any awards for most action-packed event of the year, but Sean Brady did put on a dominant display in the main event.Brady defeated Leon Edwards via fourth-round submission to cap off a massive performance. Bradys pressure and grappling were too much for Edwards. Here is a look at the finish.Brady seemed to take the blueprint established by Belal Muhammad in July 2024 and built on it to secure the finish. Edwards looked completely defeated midway through the third round when he inexplicably and unsuccessfully shot for a takedown.The move seemed to seal his fate, as Brady took top control and dominated another round. Brady could rise to No. 1 in the welterweight division, though Muhammad is already scheduled to defend his title against Jack Della Maddalena in May.Brady could challenge the winner especially if Shavkat Rakhmonov isnt ready to come back from his injury. If nothing else, Brady secured one of four performance bonuses with his dominant win.The event drew 18,583 at the O2 Arena in London. The live gate was $4.71 million, which is the highest-grossing Fight Night event in the promotions history.Here is a look at the four fighters who earned performance bonuses.Shauna BannonAlexia ThainariaKevin HollandSean BradyIn the co-main event, Carlos Ulberg won a unanimous decision over former UFC champion Jan Blachowicz. The fight was less than thrilling, but the victory for Ulberg which was spurred on by a slight edge in leg kicks has pushed him to a point where he is on the cusp of a title shot.Here is a look at all of the results and highlights of every finish.Main Card ResultsWelterweight Bout: Sean Brady def. Leon Edwards via fourth-round submission (guillotine)Light Heavyweight Bout: Carlos Ulberg def. Jan Bachowicz via unanimous decision (29-28x3)Welterweight Bout: Kevin Holland def. Gunnar Nelson via unanimous decision (29-28x3)Womens Strawweight Bout: Alexia Thainara def. Molly McCann via submission (rear-naked choke)Lightweight Bout: Chris Duncan def. Jordan Vucenic via second-round submission (guillotine)Finally, we got to see another finish. Duncan continued to jump the gilly and he finally got the submission finish.Featherweight Bout: Nathaniel Wood def. Morgan Charrire via unanimous decision (30-27x3)UFC Fight Night London Preliminary Card ResultsLightweight Bout: Chris Padilla def. Jai Herbert via split decision (29-28x2, 28-29)Flyweight Bout: Loneer Kavanagh def. Felipe dos Santos via unanimous decision (29-28x3)Heavyweight Bout: Marcin Tybura def. Mick Parkin via unanimous decision (29-28x3)Middleweight Bout: Christian Leroy Duncan def. Andre Pulyaev via unanimous decision (30-27x2, 30-26)Womens Strawweight Bout: Shauna Bannon def. Puja Tomar via second-round submissionBannon scored the only finish of the prelims, but she had to eat a head kick first.Bannon came up with the amazing comeback to secure the submission win.Bantamweight Bout: Caolan Loughran def. Nathan Fletcher via split decision (29-28x2, 28-29)Lightweight Bout: Kaue Fernandes def. Guram Kutateladze via unanimous decision (30-27x3)This was the first UFC event since August 2024 that didnt have a single KO or TKO victory. It would have been interesting to hear what UFC President Dana White had to say about that distinction. However, the promotion sent Executive Vice President David Shaw to meet the media instead of White.As it is, most fans are looking forward to next weeks event in Mexico City, which is headlined by Brandon Moreno vs. Steve Erceg.

  • Apples Stealthy Move Reveals Stunning MacBook Air Deal
    www.forbes.com
    New Apple MacBook Air computers are displayed following the keynote presentation of Apple's World ... More Wide Developer Conference (AP Photo/Noah Berger)Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.Apples recent launch of the M4 MacBook Air not only introduced the macOS consumer laptop to the Apple Silicon M4 chipset, but also brought the entry-level price down to $999. For those looking for a better deal, Apple has one.. you just need to ask Walmart.The Apple Store page for the MacBook Air only features models equipped with the latest M4 chips; the other options have been removed from sale and put out to pasture.ExceptWalmarts MacBook AirAlongside last years launch of the M3-powered MacBook Air, the company continued manufacturing new M1 MacBook Air units. Rather than sell them through the Apple Store, they instead went on sale at Walmart. These were the lowest specs of MacBook Air possible, 2020s Apple Silicon M1 chipset, 256 GB of storage and 8 GB of RAM.Why Walmart and not Apple? Many suspect that the price tag was the reason. At a consumer-friendly $699, this was the cheapest new MacBook Air, bar none. Given that Apple has been steadfast at keeping the lowest list price at $999 on its website and rarely mentions the $100 educational discount, having a MacBook for $699 would strip away much of the allure of luxury it has built up.With the recent M4 MacBook Air launch, Walmarts offer has been updated. While the specs remain lowthis is still the 8/256 option on the M1 MacBook Airthe sticker price has dropped to $649. The lowest-priced MacBook Air Apple currently offers is through its refurbished store. Thats an M3 MacBook Air with 16 GB of memory and 256 GB of storage for $759.A Value For Money MacBook AirLast year, the M1 Air was probably the best-performing laptop at the $699 mark if you could put up with the quirks of macOS and be happy to walk into Apples private ecosystem. One year later, the competition has caught up, and a $50 discount may not be enough to stay ahead of the specs/price balance. However, its clear that the stealthy relationship between Walmart and Apple has been successful and will continue into 2025.Now read the latest MacBook Air, iPhone and iPad headlines in Forbes weekly Apple Loop news digest...

  • Minecraft Vibrant Visuals makes the game look more like you imagine
    www.digitaltrends.com
    Minecraft LIVE March 2025: VIBRANT VISUALSMinecraft first added RTX support around five years ago, and now it is finally getting an official update that takes advantage of the feature. The new Vibrant Visuals update is not out just yet, but it will be soon for both the Java and Bedrock versions, although it will most likely come to Bedrock first.Recommended VideosThe update brings quite a few changes to the way lighting works in-game. Not only will certain enemys eyes glow (like Spiders and Enderman), but youll also get light shining through the windows of your base. Water will have reflective properties, and light will filter down through the water and give the world beneath the waves a more murky, ethereal look.Please enable Javascript to view this contentAnother big change is the addition of proper shadows. Theyre now pixellated and line up with existing blocks in a way that makes sense for the aesthetic of the game world.Ray tracing alone makes a huge difference in Minecraft. Matthew Smith / Digital TrendsThe update is backward compatible with all existing worlds, too all you have to do is enable it in settings. If you have a favorite world (and at this point, who doesnt?) just log in, pick the right time of day, and flip on Vibrant Visuals to see how the light makes your builds look. The update runs locally, so you can enable it on multiplayer servers even if your friends rigs cant handle the graphical demand. They wont see it, but you will.Mojang was quick to point out that despite the upgrade, the game still looks and feels likeMinecraft. This wont affect how it plays, and it wont take away from the familiar comfort of the game. Vibrant Visuals is an upgrade, but not a total overhaul. The team says there are plenty of fan-made mods out there that completely transform howMinecraft looks, and that players are more than welcome to utilize those if they want to take the graphics a step further.Theres not a firm release date, but according to a GameSpot interview, its coming very, very soon.Editors Recommendations
