A UBC Okanagan researcher is cautioning that a person’s poor eating habits established during post-secondary studies can contribute to future health issues including obesity, respiratory illnesses and depression. Dr. Joan Bottorff, a Professor with UBCO’s School of Nursing, is one of several international researchers who published a multi-site study looking at the eating habits of university students. Almost 12,000 medical students from 31 universities in China participated in the study that aimed to determine the association between eating behaviours, obesity and various diseases. The point, says Dr. Bottorff, is that many poor eating habits begin at university and can continue…

If there was a phrase that could summarize Warrior Season 3 Episode 4, it’s the common, almost cliché saying, “You play with fire, you get burnt.” Many characters played with fire, and when it burned them, the pain was nothing like they had ever experienced. The search for the fake money plates brought the cops to the doors of the Hop Wei, where they wasted no time in raining hell on the place. It led to an eventful night for Yan Mi as she crossed more than one boundary, many of which she had never envisioned herself crossing. Elsewhere, Mai Ling’s…

Earth’s axis has shifted due to human activityShutterstock / Fisherss Over the course of about two decades, humans pumped enough water out of the ground that we shifted Earth’s poles by almost a metre. This is equivalent to the polar drift caused by melting Greenland ice over the same period. “Most people would go about their lives and wouldn’t be aware of [Earth’s] wobbles or the drift,” says Clark Wilson at the University of Texas at Austin. He and his colleagues modelled how changes in the distribution of water around the planet have affected the drifting of the poles. Some…
It was how this was always going to end. The Raymond Reddington task force was now not what it was when it was started long ago on The Blacklist Season 1. They were a group of people with almost nothing in common chosen to pursue a common goal in one of the opaquest operations ever. They had grown, evolved, made mistakes, learned, and formed bonds throughout the years. Yet, if one was to compare and contrast the Task Force from ten years ago and how it is currently, one would notice that these people had changed. This change displeased Arthur…
Earth’s solid inner core may not be solid after all — at least not all the way through. Instead, it’s a hodgepodge patchwork of solid and liquid that reaches all the way to the center.New research based on the faint echoes of earthquake waves bouncing back to Earth’s surface from the depths of the planet suggests that the inner core is more varied than previously appreciated. The findings indicate that the inner core, which grows about a millimeter (0.04 inch) each year as the liquid outer core solidifies, may have grown faster during earlier times in Earth’s history. What’s more,…

When a fashion brand sees a spike in popularity (or, let’s be honest, goes big on its paid advertising), it’s usually quite obvious. It typically starts out on the feeds of industry heavy hitters before trickling down the sartorial food chain, and before you know it, you can’t scroll through Instagram without seeing an *insert buzzy It brand* buy. But every now and then, a name comes along that manages to work its way into the wardrobes of the fashion elite without a song and dance. This season, it was all about Raey.

Like many fans this week, you may have noticed something odd about the opening credits of Secret Invasion, Marvel’s new show. Amidst all the Skrull green, there is something very … Midjourney about the whole thing. If you got that sense, you weren’t wrong: Those credits were made with the help of artificial intelligence.The idea, Secret Invasion’s executive producer Ali Selim told Polygon this week, was to make something that reflected the show’s theme of aliens hiding among us. “When we reached out to the AI vendors, that was part of it—it just came right out of shape-shifting, Skrull-world identity,…

Summer is heating up, and so are our screens. This week of television gave us the perfect distraction from the heat. We happily stayed indoors to watch all of the hot, new releases. On streaming, Netflix pulled through giving us new seasons and series. From wrestlers on Muscles & Mayhem to witches on The Witcher, you’re bound to be either knocked out or enchanted by the stories that unfold. Hulu (with episodes streaming the next day) brought back every generation, like the college kids on grown-ish to grandparents and grandkids on Generation Gap; there is something for all ages. We…
Since its discovery in 2008, the skeleton of a high-ranking individual buried inside a tomb in the Iberian Peninsula between 3,200 and 2,200 years ago was thought to be the remains of a man. However, a new analysis reveals that this person was actually a woman.Archaeologists in Spain dubbed the woman the “Ivory Lady” based on the bounty of grave goods found alongside her skeleton, including an ivory tusk surrounding her skull, flint, an ostrich eggshell, amber and a rock crystal dagger, according to a study published Thursday (July 6) in the journal Scientific Reports.For more than a decade, archaeologists…

If, even after spotting peplum silhouettes in nearly every autumn/winter 2023 collection throughout fashion month, you’re still not convinced that they’re worth giving a second chance to, the news I’m about to share with you is bound to put you over the edge. After all, I’ve yet to come across a fashion item worn by Kate Middleton that didn’t go absolutely viral, and no matter how controversial peplum is, the hatred around it doesn’t come close to balancing out the influential abilities of the Princess of Wales. If you haven’t already guessed, Middleton was spotted earlier today wearing a peplum Erdem blazer…
As the pixels settle after Apple’s meticulously planned rollout of its Vision Pro headset, battle lines have solidified in the war for a new reality. Multiple tech powers—and some rising upstarts—are developing headsets and other gizmos to digitally augment or replace the world our raw senses perceive. But there’s a clear split in philosophy over the role these mixed-reality devices will play.Suddenly, that schism matters. Only a year ago—in those palmy days when we weren’t fixated on AI writing our essays and maybe wiping out humanity—tech’s big obsession was the metaverse. Every company seemed to have a strategy for this…
Evan Peters, the actor best known for his portrayal of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, has landed his next role opposite Jared Leto in Disney’s long-in-the-works Tron 3. Helmed by veteran Disney director Joachim Rønning (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), the movie is titled Tron: Ares. Its script, written by Jesse Wigutow and Jack Thorne, is said to focus on “the emergence of a sentient program that crosses over into the human world that is not ready for contact.” According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peters’ role in the film is currently unknown, though two of…

According to TVLine, Chavez will take a temporary leave of absence from GH to shoot Monsters, though it’s unclear when the latter show will start filming, given the ongoing writers’ strike.

Archaeologists in Iceland have unearthed the country’s oldest known drawing: a scratched-out piece of “Viking graffiti” that looks like a partly drawn boat.The researchers found the graffiti in the remains of a longhouse, said Bjarni F. Einarsson, an archaeologist and manager at his private company Fornleifafræðistofan (The Archaeological Office) and the project’s excavation leader. The scribble was engraved on a 1-inch-wide (2.5 centimeters) reddish clay stone and dates to shortly after A.D. 800.The ship isn’t complete, which is typical of Viking boat graffiti, Einarsson said. But the carving shows a sail with vertical lines, a rope from the sail to…
When I first saw the Uniqlo crossbody trending on TikTok, I figured it was simple, sleek and useful. When I bought it, I realised there was much more to it than first meets the eye. Firstly, the rounded shape and soft construction are perfect for running errands, going to work and basically any plans you have. Secondly, you’ll find two pockets inside to keep the essentials (read: lip balm) close to hand. Finally, and most importantly, the size is incredibly deceptive. As someone who tends to overpack for even a simple coffee run, I can say this bag fits far more than you’d ever guess. Things…

The Pitch: For an indoor ’90s kid, no weekend was complete without watching incredibly buff people in spandex beat up brave challengers inside Gladiator Arena — the showmanship, the inventive games, and the strong personalities of American Gladiators were perfect Saturday morning entertainment (once the cartoons were over). Of course, indoor ’90s kids had no idea that behind the scenes, life for the American Gladiators had its ups and downs, something that the new documentary series Muscles & Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators explores over five episodes. While billed as “unauthorized,” the Netflix series is anchored by interviews…
