There are a few things worth thinking about when you’re shopping for a portable charger.Capacity: The capacity of a power bank is measured in milliampere-hours (mAh), but this can be a little misleading because the amount of power you get out depends on the cable you use, the device you are charging, and the charging method (Qi wireless charging is less efficient). You will never get the maximum capacity. We try to provide an estimate of what you’ll get in terms of charges for devices.Charging speeds and standards: The charging rate for devices like smartphones is measured in watts (W),…

In fact, some of your favorite Disney movies feature quick appearances from other movies’ characters. It’s all about keeping your eyes peeled.Luckily for you, we’ve done the hard work of tracking down these cameos in some of the most popular Disney films. Once you see them, you won’t be able…

The French take vacationing seriously, so it makes sense they spend as little time as possible choosing what to wear whilst wiling away days by the pool. But that kind of preparation takes skill, and much like a Parisian’s capsule wardrobe, holiday packing errs on the side of simple and streamlined. Parisian women tend to forgo makeup in favour of a few basics such as sunscreen (of course), lipstick and perhaps a little mascara—and the same goes for their clothing choices.They opt for minimum fuss so they can maximise time spent recharging batteries. Holiday packing can always seem a bit…

Beryllium is toxic and hard to work withBjorn Wylezich/Alamy A metallic bond between two beryllium atoms has been forged for the first time in the lab. The development could pave the way for the creation of new materials. “Going back 100 years, chemists have been striving to understand how elements bond together, but there are still gaps in what we know. Beryllium is element number four in the periodic table, yet no one managed to bond two of these metal atoms together,” says Simon Aldridge at the University of Oxford. That is, until now. Together with Josef Boronski, also at…

Prime VideoTom Clancy’s Jack RyanJohn Krasinski is back in the office—not Dunder Mifflin, but CIA headquarters at Langley, where Jack Ryan begins the fourth and final season of the global espionage series as the CIA’s new deputy director. It doesn’t take him long, of course, to get out in the field, but the minefields are even trickier this time, as he roots out corruption within the agency that reveals black ops that are tied to a dangerous alliance between a Mexican drug cartel and a terrorist triad based in Burma. You might need a map to keep track of all…

Nothing goes better with the new Taylor Swift album than a little bit of snitching. At least, that’s what the FBI Washington Field wants you to think, based on a recent tweet the organization put out. Taking timely cues from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), the FBI shared an image Monday that appears to riff on Miss Swift’s latest release, boasting a faux tracklist in shades of purple reminiscent of the album art. But these so-called “tracks” have some interesting titles: “Terrorism (FBI’s Version),” “Cybercrime (FBI’s Version),” and “Weapons of Mass Destruction (FBI’s Version),” to name a few. “Justice is better than…

CLIMATEWIRE | Mountaintops across the Northern Hemisphere are transforming as rainy downpours replace snowfall, raising the risk of floods and landslides. The change has been happening for decades, a new study finds, and it is expected to get worse as global temperatures rise. “This is not a far-off problem projected to occur in the future, but the data is showing us this already,” said lead study author Mohammed Ombadi, a postdoctoral research fellow specializing in environmental data science at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, weren’t a surprise to Ombadi. It’s well-known that warmer air can hold…

Sure, there are pretty pieces in every H&M and Zara category, but that makes their respective websites a bit of a trap where appearances can easily lull you.

While everyone has their own personal style, I do believe I’ve managed to curate an edit of the best Zara and H&M fashion items that won’t date for anyone.

The end of Physical will be here before we know it. Apple TV+ went public with the key art and trailer for Physical Season 3 on Wednesday, and we have plenty of questions. The trailer welcomes Zooey Deschanel to the cast as Kelly Kilmartin, and it’s clear from the get-go that Rose Byrne’s Sheila is not destined to be BFFs with her — far from it, actually. “Set in the idyllic but fragile beach paradise of 1980s San Diego, Physical follows Sheila Rubin (Byrne) as she transforms from quietly tortured housewife to dominant fitness entrepreneur,” the logline for the final…

Rimrock Draw Rockshelter in southeastern Oregon, where the 18,000-year-old teeth and tools were unearthed. (Image credit: Greg Shine/BLM; (CC BY 2.0))Stone tools and the teeth of an extinct camel and bison discovered in central Oregon show that people were living in North America 18,250 years ago, new research finds. Although this is not the earliest date for human occupation of the Americas that has been proposed, the finding, which is not yet published in a peer-reviewed study, appears to be thousands of years older than any other archaeological site in Oregon.Archaeologists made the discovery at the site of Rimrock Draw,…

Documents show police are advised to pursue “additional and independent investigative means and methods” to obtain evidence collected through use of a cell-site simulator, though suggestions provided by the FBI on how this could be accomplished were redacted by the bureau. The power of judges to toss evidence seized in contravention of a defendant’s rights is, the Supreme Court wrote in 1968, the only true defense Americans have against police misconduct. Without it, then-chief justice Earl Warren wrote, “the constitutional guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures would be a mere ‘form of words.’”Under the US system, Warren said,  “evidentiary rulings provide…

An inclusive review of decades’ worth of data reveals new insight into menopause and aging in women of color, suggesting Black and Hispanic women are likely to experience menopause measurably earlier than those who are white. The researchers say the difference is possibly caused by the grinding daily stresses of racism. The study, published on Thursday in the International Journal of Epidemiology, pulls data from one of the largest, longest-running efforts to understand the health of women as they age and experience menopause. Launched in 1994, the ongoing project, known as the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN),…

The scene is straight out of Boots Riley’s madcap moviemaking handbook. In a city where Black residents have been steadily priced out, the two of us sit—Riley wearing one of his signature hats, me hatless—swapping stories over lunch as rock music drains from the speakers. This is Oakland, the director’s longtime home, and perhaps our talk wouldn’t feel so surreal if it weren’t the exact kind of thing Riley, impresario of all things Black and bizarre, would write into one of his scripts.

A day after Ozzy Osbourne announced that he was bowing out of the Power Trip festival in Indio, California, fellow legendary metal act Judas Priest have been named his replacement. In revealing that he isn’t physically ready to play the October gig, Ozzy stated, “The band that will be replacing me on Power Trip will be announced shortly. They are personal friends of mine and I can promise that you will not be disappointed.” That led to wide speculation that Judas Priest would be filling the slot, as Osbourne and Priest frontman Rob Halford are very close friends.

According to WHO guidelines, if a doctor conscientiously objects to providing an abortion, then that country’s health system must refer a patient to an alternative health care provider. But mandatory referrals are a poor fix and conscientiously objecting health care professionals are also often reluctant to reliably refer patients to someone who will provide necessary care. Hoctor says this systemic failure to ensure backup providers is one of the main reasons behind poor access in certain European countries, including Italy.Conscientious objection is on the rise in some countries, especially in Croatia, Romania, and Slovakia. Others, including Sweden, Finland, and Bulgaria,…
