A new study by University of Maryland Economist Louis Preonas provides empirical evidence that railroads are likely to cut transportation prices to prop up coal-fired plants if U.S. climate policies further disadvantage coal in favor of less carbon-intensive energy sources. One strategy being considered to help reduce the country’s contribution to global climate change is a tax or fee on greenhouse gas emissions by coal-burning power plants. The hope is that such fees will reduce competitiveness of coal-fired energy and consumers will chose lower-emission options at a competitive cost. The new study, published September 7, 2023, in The Review of…
There are some big changes at Starz, and it’s bad news for four shows. Variety reported Monday evening that the premium cabler has canceled Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting and is scrapping The Venery of Samantha Bird ahead of its premiere. Heels, Run the World, and Blindspotting lasted for two seasons on the premium cabler, but it seems that the trio didn’t have enough interest to sustain additional seasons. The highest profile of the three shows was Heels, which starred Stephen Amell as Jack Spade, a man who inherited the league from his father. However, he struggled to keep…

It’s been over three years since news first broke of a new Goosebumps TV series, based on the popular series of horror books for kids by author R.L. Stine. In the book series’ ’90s heyday, a TV series was also produced, which ran for 74 episodes across four seasons. More recently, Goosebumps became a pair of live-action horror movies for kids. (The first of the two, which stars Jack Black, is actually really good.)Finally, three years later, we’ve got the new show. It will premiere on Disney+ and Hulu on October 13 (a Friday, of course), with the 10-episode season’s first five episodes. New installments…

Scientists have created an artificial intelligence (AI) program that can detect alien life in physical samples — though they aren’t sure exactly how it works.The new machine-learning algorithm — trained using living cells, fossils, meteorites and lab-made chemicals — can distinguish between samples of biological and nonbiological origin 90% of the time, according to the scientists who built it. Yet the algorithm’s inner workings remain a mystery.The scientists say the new test could be used almost immediately. It would scan for life on Mars by crunching through data on Martian rocks collected by the Curiosity rover, as well as potentially…
“It’s really refreshing to see them take this on and not wait for a series of insight forums or a commission that’s going to spend two years and talk to a bunch of experts to essentially create this same list,” Lenhart says.But she’s unsure how any new AI oversight body could host the broad range of technical and legal knowledge required to oversee technology used in many areas from self-driving cars to health care to housing. “That’s where I get a bit stuck on the licensing regime idea,” Lenhart says.The idea of using licenses to restrict who can develop powerful…
Perennially, there are new shows based on idiosyncratic characters. For whatever reason, the characters are usually quite eccentric, and a narrative is built around them using a particular idea as the central plot point. This format has been central to many shows, and the trick is to write compelling characters, and the more ambiguous they are, the better. The Irrational Season 1 Episode 1 introduced Dr. Alec Mercer, a behavioral science professor who dabbles in crime fighting in his free time and not as a vigilante. The cold open went straight to the point, ensuring we got the idea behind the…

This week’s episode of Star Wars: Ahsoka is titled “Fallen Jedi.” And that title has a lot of potential readings, given the events of this week’s show. It could refer to Baylan Skoll, a former Jedi who is now working to bring back Thrawn from another galaxy. Or it could refer to Ahsoka — she literally falls off a cliff in this episode. (Uh, spoiler alert.) It could refer to Sabine, because she chooses to side with Baylan and the bad guys during a crucial moment in this episode. And, of course, it could refer to this week’s big surprise guest…

So how exactly is this type of bob haircut different this time around? Firstly, we’re seeing a far softer graduation in those long-to-short layers, and this style is cropping up in a whole range of hair lengths. Chloë Grace Moretz’s shoulder-skimming bob above has longer face-framing pieces, whilst Sabrina Elba has elegantly tucked those longer layers behind her ears in the cropped hairstyle below.

Photography by Getty Images They’re not new. They’re not particularly groundbreaking. But the power of headbands cannot be understated. Here’s where to get yours. By Natalie Michie Date August 16, 2023 I’m not saying headbands are magical. But I’m not not saying that, either. You see, the age-old accessory is so much more than an individual item — it’s a loose concept rich with possibility and shape-shifting powers. It can punctuate a preppy statement, add intentionality to an athleisure outing, and complement a coquettish aesthetic. It’s no wonder that as fashion veers toward minimalism, the ostensibly simple add-on is absolutely…
“It’s not as effective,” said Fennell. “It’s just an alert because you opened the backseat door.” She explained that if you stop and get gas on your journey, and don’t open the backseat again, the reminder won’t go off, even though there’s still someone in your backseat. It also confuses parents. “They think it will detect the presence of your child, and it doesn’t,” she continued. By comparison, the Doona is an aftermarket accessory that parents can add themselves. But child passenger safety technicians, such as Michelle Pratt from Safe in the Seat, recommends against using products like these. “When it…
What happens when we actually die — when our heart stops and all electrical activity “flatlines” in our brain?Humans have been asking this question since time immemorial. It’s a tough one because the dead do not normally ping back to us about the nature of their experiences. Religious texts are capable of supplying a multitude of explanations. But scientists have not given up on providing their own set of answers, and they are making some strides in better understanding the brain’s process of transitioning from life to death.Most recently, this has become possible because of research that has monitored the brains of people…
