Okay, so jeans will probably remain a firm fixture in my wardrobe this summer, but after months of wearing little else, I’m more than ready to shake up my style a bit. And it would appear I’m not the only one who feels that way. If last year was the year of the tailored trouser, then 2023 is absolutely the year of the skirt—I needed only to look to my Instagram feed for proof. Right now, skirts are a recurring theme on the platform, with many of my favourite dressers beginning to embrace the warm, early days of summer with some truly…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope’s image of Herbig-Haro 211ESA/Webb, NASA, CSA, Tom Ray This newborn star is blasting out a pair of extraordinary jets. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) captured this image of a Herbig-Haro object, which forms when a young star spews powerful winds that smash into surrounding gas and dust at supersonic speeds. The object, called Herbig-Haro 211 (HH 211), is located about 1000 light years away from Earth in the constellation Perseus. This makes it one of the nearest Herbig-Haro objects we know of. The new image is far more detailed than any that astronomers have…

A suspiciously high number of people guess the Wordle word on their first tryEmre Akkoyun/Shutterstock Thousands of people are probably cheating to solve the daily word-guessing game Wordle on the first try – and many more players remain surprisingly loyal to their favourite words. Wordle, now owned by The New York Times, challenges people to guess a five-letter word within six tries and has about 2 million English-language players alone. But every day, far more Wordle players solve the puzzle on their first turn than would be expected by chance, says James Dilger … Read The Full Article Here

What do you do next when you’re the best-selling author of a popular series like the Eve Ronin books?

“The crux of this exhibition is the marriage of Christian Lacroix’s couture legacy with his passion for the theatre. These costumes exemplify his level of mastery through unimaginable attention to detail,” says Gomes. “[They] have the same technique and skill level as those shown on the runway, manifesting in these layered, textural pieces that emphasize Peer Gynt’s fantasy world. Whether the costumes are lavishly embellished or aged and dyed, Lacroix achieves this in a realistic, well-done way.” Read The Full Article Here

Tangled microplastic fibres from clothing, seen with an electron microscope in false colourSTEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Microplastics may float higher in Earth’s atmosphere than previously thought, posing a risk that they might release chemicals that damage the ozone layer. Small fragments of plastic can travel long distances on air currents, settling in remote locations, but there isn’t good data on just how far they can move. Most simulations assume that the microplastics are small spheres, but they can actually take a variety of irregular shapes, from kinked fibres to tangled complexes with … Read The Full Article Here

You may know by now that we’re big advocates of buying quality over quantity, and well-made shoes do last longer, look better and are likely to be more comfortable. However, because sandals get so battered so quickly (not to mention they become dirty when you’re walking around a city like London every day), I would say this is one shoe type that you can legitimately spend less on and not feel like you’re compromising on style. Like always, make sure you are purchasing wisely. Are your chosen sandals versatile, stylish, comfortable and likely to look just as current next year? All of these…

Engineers at the University of Cincinnati have developed a new device that can warn consumers about early risks of tooth decay from diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Gingivitis, the earliest form of gum disease, is caused by bacteria. But not just any bacteria. The problem for researchers was getting a device to single out the particular type responsible for the disease, said Andrew Steckl, an Ohio Eminent Scholar and distinguished research professor in UC’s College of Engineering and Applied Science. “It’s been quite the challenge to get to the point where we can detect this toxin created by the…

If you’re using alkaline batteries, remove them from the flashlight if it’s going to sit unused for a long time, otherwise they’ll leak and cause problems. Store them near the flashlight so you can easily find them. Try taping the batteries to the flashlight barrel.Pro tip: The best-performing flashlights are built specifically to use lithium-ion batteries or have nonremovable rechargeable batteries, which won’t do you any good if the power is out for a long time. Rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) AA batteries maintain their performance better over the lifetime of the battery, whereas alkalines’ performance drops off more as they…

Researchers have demonstrated a method to detect the vibrations of a mobile phone’s earpiece and decipher what the person on the other side of the call was saying with up to 83 percent accuracy. The team at Pennsylvania State University used an off-the-shelf automotive radar sensor and a novel processing approach to reveal this significant security concern.”As technology becomes more reliable and robust over time, the misuse of such sensing technologies by adversaries becomes probable,” said Suryoday Basak, a doctoral candidate at Penn State.”Our demonstration of this kind of exploitation contributes to the pool of scientific literature that broadly says,…

The Last Professional by Ed Davis When describing The Last Professional (Artemesia Publishing, LLC) by Ed Davis, Jerry Cimino, Founder of the Beat Museum in San Francisco, had this to say: “Davis has done for American railroads what Kerouac did for American highways and Steinbeck did for American nomads.”  High praise — and well-deserved, given that the novel was named the 2022 American Fiction Award thriller winner. It’s amazing that all this can happen writing about a fraternity of tramps, what Davis calls a “brotherhood of travelers who emerged with the coming of the great iron roads and who held…
