Before & After: Dated '80s Oak Cabinets Get an Airy Green Makeover (the Transformation Is Dramatic!)
ABOUT THIS BEFORE & AFTER HOME TYPE: House PROJECT TYPE: Kitchen STYLE: Traditional SKILL LEVEL: Professional RENTAL FRIENDLY: No 'If you trust the process, you will get what you want,' Jennifer Tampasis of Jennifer Lynn Interiors says. Her recent kitchen project she tackled for a couple who had never worked with an interior designer proves just that. Her renovation of the 1989 Poughkeepsie, New York, kitchen made it optimized for storage, set up for hosting, and, most importantly, a place the homeowners, a family of four, can spend quality time. While any remodel, especially in the kitchen, can be a major financial undertaking, the homeowners were confident that the options Jennifer presented would stand the test of time. 'We wanted a perfect kitchen for us, but we honestly had no idea how to put that together. It was like we knew what we wanted in our heads, but we didn't know how to put that down on paper,' the owners say. Jennifer looked to their other spaces, especially the living room, which can be seen from the kitchen, for inspiration. 'It was a dark green, but instead of dark, we went with a paler color,' she says. 'We wanted it to feel bright.' The previously cramped kitchen, with dark wood cabinetry, yellow walls, and a separate dining set, was transformed into a classic space with her help. The new kitchen is painted in Benjamin Moore colors: the island is colored with Heather Gray, a shade with sage undertones, and the cabinets are clad in Chantilly Lace. New light fixtures from Hudson Valley Lighting Group warm up the room, too. The renovation was straightforward, but the impact is striking — and the kitchen is significantly more functional. 'They had a lot on their counters before and wanted it to feel less cluttered,' Jennifer says. 'When you walk into the kitchen first thing in the morning, what do you do? It was really about understanding how they function,' Jennifer explains. Storage for small appliances like their tea kettle and blender was key, while a long central island serves for prep, hosting, and more. 'By some magic, Jennifer extracted the design from our heads, creating the perfect color scheme and layout without our ability to articulate our desires to her directly,' the owners say. 'It was a totally fascinating experience.' And the appreciation was mutual: 'We want all of our clients to be like them,' Jennifer says. One standout is the hydration center, a recent signature of the designer, who first came across the idea at The Kitchen and Bath Industry Show (KBIS). Not only are hydration stations becoming trendy, but they also help busy families by centralizing access to water and beverages. The homeowners' original butcher block island was repurposed into shelving for the station. 'She picked up on the fact that I was proud of the butcher block, which I had installed during the pandemic, and recognized the beauty in the cherry wood it was made from,' the owners say. Another favorite feature is the floating table, an idea Jennifer developed in collaboration with the contractor. The round table extends beyond the island, and while the homeowners had some initial doubts, it has allowed them to maximize their space without the need for a formal dining room. The table accommodates everyone comfortably and is a unique feature that visitors always post originally appeared on The Kitchn.

Scenes From the ‘No Kings' Rallies and the Military Parade
To the Editor: Re 'Military Might, Protest Power' (front page, June 15): Thirty-three years ago this month, I was interrogated by the secret police in China when my year of teaching English was ending. At that time, I had no knowledge about my rights as a U.S. citizen, so I didn't know to demand them. Later, however, I realized that being a U.S. citizen afforded me rights in another country. This truth gave me confidence and calm from that day on. Today I no longer have such confidence. But what makes it so much worse is that my rights are being trampled in the United States, the country of my birth. The only hope I have is in my fellow citizens in the recent (and future!) 'No Kings' marches who are standing up against the tyranny of this administration. Elena YeePoughkeepsie, N.Y. To the Editor: So you ask: 'What good does protesting do? You're just preaching to the choir.' As I was protesting with a small crowd in Milton, Mass., and cars were driving by, I started yelling 'Honk!' and waving my sign. I realized that the actual words on my rain-soaked sign (or anyone's signs) did not matter. When people drove by in cars, I'd make eye contact and wave, and then maybe get a shy smile back or a big thumbs-up. When people honked, I'd pump a fist in circles to get them to keep it up. So many people of different races smiled back, with the surprised look of someone who isn't used to getting smiles and waves from a stranger. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Quantum Leap: IBM, Vodafone, and Oxford Stocks Move Closer to the $1T Quantum Market
Imagine building the internet of tomorrow not with cables and concrete but with the light-bending logic of quantum physics. This month, several key players have taken bold steps toward making that future a reality. From network optimization to educational outreach and strategic business shifts, the quantum landscape is brewing a long-lasting momentum. In this roundup, we look at how IBM (IBM), Vodafone (VOD), ORCA Computing, Oxford Instruments (GB:OXIG), and regional initiatives are shaping what's next. Confident Investing Starts Here: IBM's Ambitious Roadmap Let's begin with IBM, which has revealed its most ambitious quantum roadmap to date. The company plans to build the world's first large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer, named Quantum Starling, by 2029. The system will use 200 logical qubits and be capable of running 100 million quantum operations. IBM says the project is built on a modular design using qLDPC error correction, which drastically cuts physical qubit requirements by 90%. The system will later serve as the foundation for Quantum Blue Jay, scaling to 2,000 logical qubits and 1 billion operations. A new data center in Poughkeepsie, NY, will house the effort, positioning IBM to compete directly with Google (GOOG) (GOOGL), Amazon Web Services (AMZN), PsiQuantum, and others in the race toward scalable quantum computing. Vodafone and ORCA Join Forces Vodafone and ORCA Computing have joined forces to tackle one of telecom's most stubborn challenges: how to design and expand networks efficiently. The collaboration will use ORCA's PT-2 photonic quantum system to improve fibre routing and base station placement, aiming to lower infrastructure costs and boost performance. Early testing through the UK's Quantum Technology Access Programme has already demonstrated success in solving the Steiner Tree Problem, a classic optimization challenge. Vodafone plans to implement the system across its global network, including undersea cables and its new satellite broadband service. Summer Sprint 2025 In the education space, South Carolina Quantum has launched Summer Sprint 2025, a regional initiative offering free access to leading quantum learning platforms through early August. The goal is to enhance quantum literacy among professionals, educators, and students across the Southeastern United States. Participants can explore platforms such as Q-CTRL's Black Opal, qBraid's qBook, and Classiq's development environment for high-level quantum algorithms. Feedback will guide future curriculum strategies tailored to local talent needs and accessibility gaps, making this a testbed for national quantum education models. Oxford Instruments Sells NanoScience Division Meanwhile, Oxford Instruments (GB:OXIG) is refocusing its business by divesting its quantum-focused NanoScience division. The unit, which generated £59 million in revenue in FY25, will be sold to Quantum Design International for up to £60 million. The deal allows Oxford to concentrate on its core markets of materials analysis, semiconductors, and life sciences. A £50 million share buyback is planned using proceeds from the sale, signaling confidence in its growth strategy. Regulatory approval is expected by Q3 of FY2025/26. Last Word Quantum computing is moving fast from lab theory to real-world impact. Whether it's IBM's push for scalable systems, Vodafone's use of quantum to shape global infrastructure, or regional investments in education and talent, the space is steadily building the tools for a radically different digital future.
