Vinyl’s biggest selling point isn’t the sound. It’s the physical experience: shiny, delicate records; liner notes writ large; covers you want to frame and hang on your wall; and the way the stylus spins across the jagged surface, reproducing your favorite artists’ music as if by magic.Maybe you’ve always been interested in building a setup for listening to LPs and 45s, but you don’t know where to start. Maybe you’re like WIRED reviews editor Julian Chokkattu, who owned a record but no turntable to play it on. Maybe you’re just looking for an upgrade. No problem: There are tons of…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Flinders University’s Dr. Ashokkumar Manoharan collaborated with Associate Professor Christina Scott-Young (RMIT University, Melbourne), and Professor Anthony McDonnell (Cork University Business School, Ireland) to create a framework that creates an effective industry brand. “Industry talent branding: a collaborative and strategic approach to reducing hospitality’s talent challenge” has been published in the International Journal of Contemporary Hospitality Management. Based on brand equity theory, signaling theory and employer branding literature, this framework places an onus on sector-wide cooperation to form a consistent brand that all hospitality employers and employees can clearly understand. The researchers say there is merit…
California rockers Kyng are back with the song “Haunting Visions,” their first new electric music in seven years. The new tune comes as the band continues work on its upcoming fourth studio album. “Haunting Visions” features a mix of stoner metal and heavy rock. In describing the song, Kyng said in a collective statement, “‘Haunting Visions’ is a story about a Vietnam veteran whose entire humanity was, for lack of a better word, transformed into an unrecognizable being. We jokingly claim that it’s ‘based on true events (sort of)’ because, although the mental transformation in fact happened, it’s not a…

As tensions continue to rise across American political lines, one particularly incendiary topic is the discussion of the US legal system. Many advocates have brought to light the way the prison-industrial complex plays a major role in the racism and subjugation of Black Americans. And while the US legal system’s crimes are slowly being brought to public awareness — the 2019 Netflix drama When They See Us, educating many about the Central Park Five, for example — stories of false imprisonment and mistreatment are not merely a thing of the past. As racism within the legal system continues to the…
Brie Larson has delivered countless phenomenal performances throughout her career, but something tells us we’re getting her finest work on Lessons in Chemistry. Apple TV+ shared the official trailer for the highly-anticipated limited series on Thursday morning, showing Larson as Elizabeth Zott.

Researchers at the Center for Functional Nanomaterials (CFN), a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility at DOE’s Brookhaven National Laboratory, and Northrop Grumman, a multinational aerospace and defense technology company, have found a way to maintain valley polarization at room temperature using novel materials and techniques. This discovery could lead to devices that store and process information in novel ways using this technology without the need to keep them at ultra-low temperatures. Their research was recently published in Nature Communications. One of the paths being explored to achieve these devices is a relatively new field called…

Jimmy Fallon’s appeal as a talk-show host is based on his innate likability. He seems to get along with everyone, and always be in a sunny mood. That sort of life-of-the-party quality is invaluable on television, and it’s propelled Fallon from Saturday Night Live to movies to hosting NBC’s Late Night and then on to the crown jewel of the talk show world: The Tonight Show, which Fallon has hosted since 2014.Of course, how someone presents themselves on TV isn’t necessarily how they carry themselves when the cameras are off. And a new report in Rolling Stone alleges that The Tonight Show under Fallon has been a “toxic workplace…
Suicide is the 11th leading cause of death in the United States, with an average of 132 suicides per day and over 1.6 million attempts per year. Falling within the middle of September (dubbed National Suicide Prevention Month by the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) September 10 marks the beginning of National Suicide Prevention Week. While suicide prevention is important every day of the year, this week and month mark a moment dedicated to creating awareness and inspiring people to learn how they can play a role in their communities to help save lives. According to the AFSP, one of…
Despite a primary diet of gas and dust, black holes will consume anything that comes too close — meaning moons, planets and even stars are on the cosmic menu. But does this mean black holes greedily suck in everything around them, like cosmic vacuum cleaners, as commonly imagined?The answer is no. To feed and grow, black holes actually need a little luck, and a big, bright disk of matter around them.”Often we think of black holes as sucking matter in, like a vacuum cleaner. But that isn’t a great way to think about black holes,” John Regan, a Royal Society…
There are a lot of sci-fi tropes out there ripe for reimagining, and Star Trek: Lower Decks Season 4 Episode 3 does a solid job of defying our expectations on three fronts as the show continues to mine canon for schtick. From the titular benevolent world-managing AI to Boimler’s first mission command to Beta Shift’s first rite of passage as lieutenants (junior grade), we bear witness to multiple moments of near disaster. And that single fatality. The most exciting development is the introduction of the Anomaly Storage Room, a literal treasure trove of potential catastrophes. I’m unsure why the Cerritos…

Scientific research depends on collaboration between researchers and institutions. But over the past decade, there has been a surge of large-scale research projects involving extraordinarily large numbers of researchers, from dozens to hundreds, all working on a common project. Examples of this trend include ManyBabies, centred on infant cognition and development, and ManyManys, focused on comparative cognition and behaviour across animal taxa. These kinds of projects, known as big team science (BTS), benefit from pooled human and material resources and draw on diverse data sets to gird studies with a robustness not found in smaller ones. However, as exciting as…

The Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill currently working its way through the UK Parliament could see Meta (as well as Alphabet) labeled as holding Strategic Market Status (SMS) and therefore asked to financially contribute to content creators to ensure fair competition in the digital market. The amount paid would be decided under arbitration, with the Competition and Markets Authority issuing fines for companies who refuse to pay. Similar systems are under consideration in Malaysia, New Zealand, and the US; the EU already has a law in place that has led Google to sign revenue-sharing deals with more than 300…

Sign up to receive it for free in your inbox every month. There are a lot of different kinds of uncertainty in science. Sometimes the uncertainty comes from having very little data. For instance, we know very little about the first couple million years of hominin evolution, because from that time period we have only a few specimens: the 7-million-year-old Sahelanthropus tchadensis, the 6-million-year-old Orrorin tugenensis and … Read The Full Article Here
“Born This Way” has long been recognized as an LGBT anthem, but its writer Lady Gaga doubled-down on its empowering message Thursday night (August 31st), specifically dedicating it to her transgender audience. Mother Monster just kicked off her “Lady Gaga Jazz & Piano” residency in Las Vegas, which includes some jazz standards as well as jazz-ified versions of Gaga hits. Right before she tore into “Born This Way,” she spoke out against recent attacks on trans rights in the US. “I’ve got something to say about trans rights in this country,” she said as she started the tune. “You got something…

In a barium mine in the foothills of the Atlas mountains, a miner makes a ghoulish discovery: a near-complete human skull embedded in the sediment. Archaeologists called in to investigate find that the skull is old, but not that old. It is filed away and largely forgotten. Hinxton, UK, 2019.

ThirdLove Form Seamless Shortie ($9, originally $16) Modeled after men’s briefs, boy shorts take on a more rectangular shape than most panties. While similar to the hipster, the key difference is that they have a lower-cut leg. In fact, some styles’ legs extend a short way down the thigh. When to wear them: When fitted properly and made from the right fabric, boy shorts can actually serve the same function as a thong in being worn under formfitting clothes without visible panty lines. Longer cotton boy shorts, however, can even be worn as loungewear or pajamas. This particular style from…
