Methylphenidate, often sold under the brand name Ritalin, can be prescribed to people with ADHDTurtle Rock Scientific/Science Source/Science Photo Library Some people try to get a mental boost by taking medicines that are designed to treat ADHD or to counter sleeping disorders, even though they don’t have these conditions. But that may not be such a smart move, as the drugs worsened the performance of people who didn’t have these conditions in a complex problem-solving task. The drugs involved include two stimulants: methylphenidate, often sold under the brand name Ritalin, and dextroamphetamine. These are both often prescribed to improve concentration…

Of course, any designer handbag purchase is a big one, and maybe you like the idea of rationalising the price by thinking about its eventual resale yield. Still, perhaps this shouldn’t be your priority, says Ceanne Fernandes-Wong, the CEO and co-founder of Cocoon, the UK’s first membership subscription service for luxury bags. “Buy a bag you love. If you’re lusting after a vintage Chanel Diana, don’t buy a Caviar Flap bag just because you think it will have a better resale value. Chances are if you’re truly lusting after a bag, you will want to keep it for years to…

CBS is making some changes to its fall schedule in the wake of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes. First up, the network hopes to expose Yellowstone to a bigger audience than before. Yellowstone will make its broadcast debut by airing as part of the network’s Sunday slate, paired up with 60 Minutes and Big Brother. Yes, Big Brother is airing later in the fall this season and will also air later in the evening on Sundays. For some reason, the network is banishing fresh episodes to 10 p.m. on that night. Obviously, 60 Minutes will serve as a better lead-in…
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A new study shows that current trends in environmental degradation will lead to large economic losses in the coming decades, hitting the poorest countries hardest. But there is hope: investing in nature can turn those losses into gains. Researchers from the University of Minnesota and Purdue University published their findings in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The team developed a first-of-its-kind, global earth-economy model to capture interactions between the economy and the environment. Crucially, these interactions include how nature benefits humans by pollinating crops, providing timber, storing carbon, and providing catch for marine fisheries,…
Competition for jobs is fierce in China right now. After he graduated from college with a business major earlier this year, David struggled to find work. There were too many applicants for every position, and, he says, “even if you find a job, the pay is not as great as previous years, and you have to work long hours.”After David—who asked for anonymity to talk freely about his business—saw some videos on Weibo and WeChat about ChatGPT, the generative artificial intelligence chatbot released to great fanfare late last year by the US tech company OpenAI, he was struck with an…
Fall Out Boy have released an updated version of Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” his No. 1 hit single from 1989 that runs down a list of proper nouns ripped from the historic headlines. The band attempts to pick up where Joel left off by referencing moments from 1989 to 2023.Among the side-by-side couplets are Rodney King and deep fakes, Twilight and “Michael Jackson dies,” Kim Jong-un and Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man, as well as Meghan Markle and George Floyd. The words “what more do I have to say” are the counterpart to “World Trade second plane.”…

[Music] Lee Billings: This is Cosmos, Quickly. I am Lee Billings. Gravitational waves—ripples in the fabric of space time first predicted by Einstein more than a century ago—are one of astronomy’s hottest topics ever since their first direct detection in 2015. Most gravitational waves in astronomers catalogs have come from pairs of colliding middleweight black holes. Other sources should exist, however, chief among them mergers of supermassive black holes weighing millions to billions of suns. But these giant collisions make correspondingly huge gravitational waves so big, in fact, that their wavelengths are larger than our entire solar system and measurable in light…

We can always trust Captain Jason Chambers and Chief Stewardess Aesha Scott to deliver great TV. The pair were the sole holdovers from Below Deck Down Under Season 1 on Below Deck Down Under Season 2 Episode 1, which focused on everyone trying to get the charter season off without a hitch. It’s a shame Tumi Mhlongo wasn’t also kept because she was a breath of fresh air during the stellar freshman season. It wouldn’t be Below Deck without some form of drama, and truthfully, things got wild quicker than most other seasons in franchise history. That’s to be expected…
With the rise of extreme weather events, which are becoming more frequent in our warming climate, accurate predictions are becoming more critical for all of us, from farmers to city-dwellers to businesses around the world. To date, climate models have failed to accurately predict precipitation intensity, particularly extremes. While in nature, precipitation can be very varied, with many extremes of precipitation, climate models predict a smaller variance in precipitation with a bias toward light rain. Missing piece in current algorithms: cloud organization Researchers have been working to develop algorithms that will improve prediction accuracy but, as Columbia Engineering climate scientists…
The Texas ruling also conflicted with one made the same day by a judge in Washington state, directing US authorities to preserve mifepristone access in 17 states and the District of Columbia.Meanwhile, new suits have been filed in an effort to maintain mifepristone access, including a pair of unrelated suits challenging state restrictions in North Carolina and West Virginia. GenBioPro, the primary US manufacturer of generic mifepristone, is the plaintiff in the West Virginia suit, and is also suing the FDA, arguing that the regulatory body should not comply if the courts order mifepristone off the market.Even information about abortion…

Trying to nail the perfect, natural-looking glow is certainly no mean feat. Trust me. I’ve been trying to suss it out for years. It seems some people are just born with a radiant complexion that oozes luminosity and health. In a bid to replicate this glow, I have tried virtually every single highlighting makeup product under the sun, and I am yet to find a formula that doesn’t give the game away somehow. Whether it’s chunky bits of glitter or my lack of ability to apply it to the most natural-looking places, I have been forced to admit defeat when it comes to…

Plutonium-239 rained down from the atmosphere and settled in sediments across the planet. (Image credit: Galerie Bilderwelt/Getty Images)Nuclear weapons testing in the 1950s and early 1960s left the first obvious and indelible marks of “overwhelming” human activity on Earth, and these events may signal the beginning of a new geological epoch known as the Anthropocene, geologists say. Fallout from these tests snowed down from the atmosphere and became trapped in the earth as layers of sediment rich in a radioactive form of plutonium, called plutonium-239. Scientists argue that blankets of plutonium-239-rich sediment at the bottom of a small lake in Canada present…
We often hear about the negative impacts of social media on our wellbeing, but we don’t usually think of it the other way round – whereby how we feel may impact how we use social media. In a recent study, my colleagues and I investigated the relationship between social media use and wellbeing in more than 7,000 adults across four years, using survey responses from the longitudinal New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study.We found social media use and wellbeing impact each other. Poorer wellbeing – specifically higher psychological distress and lower life satisfaction – predicted higher social media use one…
Wholesome alert! And while wholesome is the last thing you might expect from an extreme metal and grindcore festival, that’s exactly what you got when the security for the Czech Republic’s Obscene Extreme Festival led a group of youngsters through their first ever stage diving experiences.It’s should be noted that Obscene Extreme has made an effort to be more child friendly, even going so far as to open a children’s entertainment area with a pair of teepees with volunteers working the children’s corner. But what caught our attention was the totally adorable video posted from the youngster’s first stage diving…

In most adults, learning and thinking plateau and then begin to decline after age 30 or 40. People start to perform worse in tests of cognitive abilities such as processing speed, the rate at which someone does a mental task. The slide becomes steeper after 60 years of age. These changes are often ascribed to normal aging. But what if instead they represent something more like the “summer slide” that schoolchildren experience? Every year teachers and parents observe how summer vacations lead some children’s academic progress to backslide. During the COVID pandemic, many students missed the equivalent of at least…
I’ve found that wide-leg cropped trousers works like magic in terms of creating a well-proportioned look. The key is to find the right balance between the width of the leg and the crop, ensuring a sleek but still wide-leg silhouette. The cropped length also allows for a chic shoe moment, too, as your footwear will be on full display.But really, as is the case with traditional wide-leg trousers, beauty of wide-leg cropped trousers lies in their versatility. They can be dressed up or down, making them perfect for various occasions. Pair them with a fitted blouse and heels for an…
