Add high winds—gusts of up to 80 miles per hour drove the flames a mile a minute across Lahaina—and all it takes is a single spark to ignite a fast-moving blaze. “There’s no firefighting capabilities for structure-to-structure urban fire in winds like that,” says Cova. “Once one structure catches on fire, if the wind’s blowing like that, it becomes like a blowtorch against the neighboring home.”These winds across Maui were dry as well, helping to suck the remaining moisture out of vegetation to turn it into fuel. That fuel seems to have been invasive grasses that European colonizers brought when…

Harvestment can remove one of their own legs to escape a predatorErin Powell Losing a leg early in life makes a male harvestman much more likely to grow up into a sneaker than into a fighter. Young male harvestmen (Forsteropsalis pureora) – sometimes known as daddy longlegs – regularly mature into slim, meek adults if they lose a leg. Researchers think this may be because missing limbs make it more difficult to gather the food required to grow into a brawny, belligerent arachnid. Males of many harvestmen species have evolved weaponry such as leg … Read The Full Article Here

A lot goes into being elected into a political office, and few can hack it. It is a huge financial burden that becomes bigger when every aspect of someone’s life is scrutinized, from their career to marriage. For a billionaire, the financial part is not a big deal because of the billionaire part. And since they tend to roll in the same circles, a billionaire is almost guaranteed support from his filthy rich friends. Whoever said money couldn’t solve all your problems must have been on to something because it can’t stop your marriage from appearing like a sham to…

Skillet frontman John Cooper recently chatted with Loudwire Nights (Aug. 10) about performing at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and what it’s like touring with Theory of a Deadman.”It’s been a really, really good year, I can’t over-exaggerate it,” Cooper told host Chuck Armstrong. “We started the year with the Rock Resurrection run with Theory, who we hadn’t toured with since 2012. It’s just cool to be back doing it again with people that you did it with 10 years ago.”Cooper explained that touring with a “veteran” band like Theory of a Deadman makes life on the road a little easier…

“Itwas a scary story to write, but I think I’d have to pull out of the Author’s Guild if I were afraid to take risks.”  After 85 novels — 74 of them New York Times bestsellers — Sandra Brown has certainly earned the right to be fearless. But with her latest novel, Out of Nowhere — an emotional powerhouse that deftly tackles one of our current society’s biggest controversies and tragedies — Brown admits she feared the topic might alienate readers, even some of her long-standing fans.  The story kicks off with a mass shooting at a Texas county fair.…

By Natalie Michie Date July 18, 2023 Picture your face a few decades from now. Maybe you have crow’s feet and pronounced under-eye bags. Your hair might have gone grey. You likely have some dark spots and hyperpigmentation. We’re taught to be scared of that inevitable transformation. But what if we embraced it instead? RELATED: Are Women Not Allowed to Age? On TikTok, the “Aging” filter — which has over 10 billion views on the app — uses artificial intelligence to predict…

You’re going to be sleeping for roughly 23 years of your life on average, so it makes sense to give some thought to what you’re lying on. Unfortunately, mattresses often have questionable materials in them. Everything from formaldehyde and TCEP (a flame retardant) to phthalates can end up in nonorganic mattresses. How much these substances impact you isn’t scientifically settled, but one way to avoid possible harm is to get a mattress made from natural, organic materials. As a bonus, these mattresses are usually less ecologically harmful. Most ecofriendly mattresses are made of a combination of wool, natural latex, and…

Winter Kills has one of the very best casts of any 1970s thriller: Jeff Bridges, John Huston, Belinda Bauer, Anthony Perkins, Eli Wallach, Sterling Hayden, Dorothy Malone, Ralph Meeker, Toshiro Mifune and even Elizabeth Taylor in a brief, silent cameo. It’s based on a novel by Richard Condon, whose work had already inspired three previous films, including The Manchurian Candidate. And Winter Kills explores (and satirizes) the myriad conspiracy theories around the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, a source of endless fascination amongst the American people, then and now.So why have most people reading this never seen (and maybe never even heard of) Winter Kills until…

Ahead of construction of a luxury hotel, archaeologists working at a site near the Vatican unearthed the ruins of a private theater where the notoriously cruel Roman emperor Nero once prepared for his public appearances. The whereabouts of the first-century-C.E. theater, which is described in Roman writings, were unknown until now. The researchers who made the discovery think Nero—who, along with being infamous for persecuting Christians, fancied himself a great performer—sang, acted and performed poetry on the theater’s stage many times. “Although we have no evidence that this could have happened, [Roman writers] Pliny the Elder and Tacitus recall how…

Since moving out of London, I’ve become entirely dependent on Instagram to see what women in the world’s coolest fashion capital are wearing right now. I didn’t realise quite how important my organic street style–spotting opportunities were when our work lives were “normal” and I was spending a great portion of my week trekking around town for meetings, events and press appointments. Just by some sort of magical, natural osmosis, I was absorbing the style beat of the city and intuitively gaining insight into what women were wearing in real time. It has always fed into my editorial work, and since moving, I’ve definitely…

Whalefall by Daniel Kraus What’s it About? “The Martian” meets “127 Hours” in this scientifically accurate thriller about a scuba diver who’s been swallowed by an eighty-foot, sixty-ton sperm whale and has only one hour to escape before his oxygen runs out. How far would you go to gain closure? I’m willing to bet it wouldn’t compare to the length Jay Gardiner goes in Daniel Kraus’ new thriller, Whalefall (MTV Books). Jay is 17 and his father Mitt passed some time ago. Due to rocky circumstances, at the time of his death they hadn’t spoken in over a year. Jay…

Humanity has a long track record of making big changes with little forethought. From fossil fuels to AI, plastics to pesticides, we love innovating away our problems, only to find we’ve created different ones. So it can be refreshing to hear about cases where we’ve taken a step back to deliberate before committing to a drastic new idea, like carbon dioxide removal. With carbon emissions continuing to climb, many scientists, environmentalists and policy-makers have advocated taking action to directly remove carbon from the atmosphere. They argue that these geoengineering approaches are necessary to avoid catastrophic changes to our land, air…

The week we dreaded finally came, and it was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. Since John Aniston’s death in November of 2022, fans knew that Days of Our Lives would eventually have to write his iconic character out. And on Days of Our Lives during the week of 8-14-23, Victor’s family learned he had perished in a plane crash, sending shockwaves of grief and guilt throughout most of Salem. I was skeptical of the idea of Victor dying in a plane crash. It seemed unnecessary, considering the character had suffered several strokes, and it seemed more likely he’d have…
