On a warm Thursday evening, our neighborhood bike caravan—parents, kids, and three electric bikes—rolls into the weekly roller disco night. A friend skates toward us, eating a vegan ice cream Chipwich, as we lock up and get ready. My 8-year-old hops off the back of my bike and thrusts her foot out for me to help put her skates on. A DJ in a tie-dye tent blasts music from my childhood.“Do you know who this is, sweetie?” I say as I lace up my daughter’s quads and pull the Impala Barbie skates out of my bike box. She shakes her…

Omega-3 fatty acids, which are abundant in fish and fish oil supplements, appear promising for maintaining lung health, according to new evidence from a large, multi-faceted study in healthy adults supported by the National Institutes of Health. The study provides the strongest evidence to date of this association and underscores the importance of including omega-3 fatty acids in the diet, especially given that many Americans do not meet current guidelines. Funded largely by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of NIH, the study results were published in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. “We…

EJ wasn’t kidding. Dimitri and Gwen’s hasty marriage will likely end up in a courtroom sooner rather than later. A drunk Leo accidentally told Tripp about his affair, while Dimitri fantasized about him while having birthday sex with his new bride. Please tell us that Gwen showing up at Leo’s door at the end of Days of Our Lives during the week of 7-31-23 means this story is almost over! We should be so lucky. This annoying story is just beginning. Leo and Dimitri have had several close encounters and have gotten out of them by outwitting suspicious people (which…
View of the North Atlantic Ocean from Newfoundland, CanadaShutterstock/EB Adventure Photography For more than three months, sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic have been higher than any on record during this time of the year. This may be related to the combined effects of climate change, developing El Niño conditions and a lack of Saharan dust. Temperatures in the North Atlantic tend to rise in summer, peaking in late August or early September. On 5 March, average temperature reached 19.9°C, surpassing the previous record set in 2020 by 0.1°C, according to data presented by researchers at the University of…
Although I occasionally dabble with tan, red, and white, I’d still say that 90% of my shoe collection is made up of black footwear. The reason for this? Versatility. Seldom will I wear an outfit black shoes don’t look good with. I find that when I wear pastel and lighter tones, black sandals give my look the edge I so crave. As for busier ensembles, they act as the perfect neutraliser. And in summer, even with the gorgeous array of colours on standby, I always come back to black shoes. This is particularly handy in 2023, where all of summer’s top sandal…
The researchers’ analysis says they found six kinds of security vulnerabilities across all three satellites and 13 vulnerabilities in total. Among these vulnerabilities were “unprotected telecommand interfaces,” which satellite operators on the ground use to communicate with the vehicles when they are in orbit. “Oftentimes, they lack access protection in the first place,” says Willbold, who is also presenting the research at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas next month. “They’re essentially not checking anything.”As well as the vulnerabilities within the satellites’ software, Willbold says, the team found an issue in a code library that appears to be…

The new Mission: Impossible movie is so massive they split it into two parts. Dead Reckoning Part One debuts in theaters later this month, while Part Two follows next year. And then, that’s it, right? That’s how you close out a series that has been going on for nearly 30 years now.That is not it. And it’s certainly not what producer/star Tom Cruise has in mind for Mission: Impossible. Amidst the global press tour for Dead Reckoning Part One, Cruise told The Sydney Morning Herald that his ambition is to carry on as super spy Ethan Hunt for at least another two decades, in order to put him in the same category…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Magni? As a recovering theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein and Marie Curie have always been among my heroes, and I have long been curious about the true nature of genius. Two of my protagonists are genetic clones of these great scientists. They are among the Magni, great thinkers who walk the earth again, unaware of their own identities. A question that intrigues me is whether the uniqueness of a person’s great achievements in life reflects the uniqueness of the person―their intellect, their imagination? And how important is nurture versus…
The writers and actors strikes have already made 2023 an historic year for the TV and film industry. But more than anything, the past few months have been filled with shows that will also long be remembered. Now that we’re in the peak of the summer, the TV Insider staff is looking back on shows that have come out this year and pinpointing our favorites. While several selections are the final seasons of long-beloved shows (can you believe Succession and Barry ended the same night?) and brand new titles, we’ve been delighted by the handful of shows that have avoided…
Plastic waste is a problem on our beaches. Hence, it is largely removed in a coordinated manner within a few weeks. However, it can litter other coasts of the world for many months to years due to unregulated waste disposal. Often the garbage on the beach is simply burned and a special form of plastic waste is created: so-called plastiglomerate. This “rock” is made up of natural components, such as coral fragments, held together by the melted and reconsolidated plastic. A new study by a German-Indonesian research team at Kiel University has now demonstrated, using field samples from Indonesia, that…
PHOTOGRAPHY by Getty Images It’s more than a meme. It’s a lifestyle. By Natalie Michie Date July 21, 2023 Every now and again, conflicting worlds collide. Two things that very much do not belong together overlap against all odds, and it inexplicably works. Such is the case with the cinematic consolidation of Barbie and Oppenheimer, both released to theatres on July 21. Barbenheimer, as it’s known, is an ideological expression of opposites attract. And as it dominates pop culture, the world is better off. RELATED: What To Wear to the Barbie Movie On paper, these two films have absolutely nothing in…
5G has been officially launched in India. As telecom operators rush to make 5G available across different parts of the country, smartphone brands are also introducing multiple devices, across multiple price points that support the next-generation network. Even before 5G rolled out in India, a plethora of smartphone options were available for consumers to choose from, especially under Rs. 20,000. One such recent option was the iQoo Z6 Lite 5G, which went on sale in early September. This smartphone is priced under Rs. 15,000 and it is the company’s most affordable 5G smartphone currently in India.The iQoo Z6 Lite 5G is…
As we know, there are more subgenres of rock and metal than we can actually count, but is that a good thing? Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante thinks metalheads are too focused on genre, which sometimes makes them resistant to a band’s evolution.Spiritbox’s Eternal Blue came out in late 2021, and we loved it so much that we named it our Album of the Year. Since then, the group has released a 3-track EP titled Rotoscope, and another track earlier this year called “The Void.” Both releases were a bit of a sonic departure from Eternal Blue, but especially “The Void,” which sees LaPlante using clean vocals throughout…
When last we saw Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick, he was flying around in real planes thousands of feet in the air as part of that film’s incredible dogfight sequences. How could you possibly top that?You fly without a plane, of course.That brings us to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, where Cruise drives a motorcycle off a mountain and then parachutes into the gorge below. The camera zooms behind Cruise as he drives right off the edge of this enormous precipice and then cranes down to watch him fall. Then the camera seems to be sailing through the air right next to Cruise — at one point, there…
We can process and store new information as we sleepDmitriy Bilous/Tetra images RF/Getty Images Listening to foreign recordings and their translations while you sleep could help you learn a new language, although the extent of the benefit appears modest. Knowing that our brains are always active, Flavio Schmidig, previously at the University of Bern in Switzerland, and his colleagues wanted to see if they could exploit this to help people memorise foreign words while they slept. First, they monitored the brain activity of 30 German speakers while they spent one night in a sleep lab. … Read The Full Article…

There are changes at the wheel of NBC’s Days of Our Lives. In the wake of misconduct allegations leveled against Albert Alarr and a petition from over 25 staffers on the show, the co-EP has been fired, effective immediately. Series producer Janet Drucker has been elevated to fill the void left by Alarr’s departure. “Effective immediately, Janet Drucker will be elevated to co-executive producer of Days of Our Lives, replacing Albert Alarr, who will be exiting his role,” Ken Corday wrote in an email to staff, Deadline reports. “Moving forward, we will be implementing additional HR protocols, including an increased…
Some insects have symbiotic relationships with microbesChris Hellier / Alamy Stock Photo Insects make up half of all animals on the planet and much of their evolutionary success appears to be linked to the microbes they host inside their bodies. Not only have these bacteria led to insects with ecologically unique diets – from blood-slurping bed bugs to wood-nibbling mites – but they have also played a key role in the variety across insect species. “The microbes themselves are the real driving mechanism behind that process of diversification,” says Lee Henry at Queen Mary University of London.

I have attempted many times to become a Hydration Queen, all of them futile. I spend my day chugging coffee, realize I’m thirsty somewhere around 3 pm, spend 20 minutes at the sink pouring glass after glass of water down my throat, and still end up dehydrated.I’ve purchased water bottles in the past, but my ADHD brain never remembers to refill them once they’ve run dry. A few weeks ago, in the midst of a heat wave, my partner and I stopped to grab some new drivers before hitting the disc golf course. There, in an endcap at our local…

The following post contains SPOILERS for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Like, the ending of the movie. It also spoils that Indiana Jones is in it. Sorry.One expects a certain amount of supernatural goingson at the end of an Indiana Jones movie. The newest film in the series though, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, takes a really big swing.The whole film is a chase for the object of the title, supposedly created by the ancient mathematician Archimedes. (The object, or at least an object like it without supernatural powers, is real by the way.) A former Nazi played by Mads Mikkelsen…

This season hurts. Sometimes it hurts in a good way and other times terribly, and The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 2 Episode 6 had a shit ton of both. Belly and the gang begrudgingly made peace with losing the house and opted to have a farewell party. But we all know teen parties never go according to plan. Some of the fun highlights got quickly overshadowed by the Fisher Brothers still struggling with their grief over Susannah, the loss of the house, and their feelings for Belly. And respectfully, Steven and Taylor continued to carry this season on their…
The majority of older adults with cognitive impairment are still driving, despite concerns raised by caregivers and others, a Michigan Medicine study in a South Texas community finds. Researchers assessed more than 600 adults over 65 years old in Nueces County, Texas, who had cognitive assessment scores that indicated a likelihood of impairment. Of those people with cognitive impairment, 61.4% were current drivers, and around one-third of all caregivers had concerns about their care-recipient driving. The results are published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society. “It is likely appropriate that some with mild cognitive impairment are still driving,…
