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…

Never come between a pair of ride-or-die BFFs. They will make sure revenge is felt if they ever feel betrayed. Megan and Isabella held Luke accountable for his lies on Cruel Summer Season 2 Episode 8. Prepare yourselves, Cruel Summer fans! We’ve made it to the cabin, and the tension has skyrocketed. This thrilling murder mystery is starting its roller-coaster highs toward the climax. “Confess Your Sins” was a chapter carried by how strong Winter 1999 became. We’ve waited most of Cruel Summer Season 2 to get to this moment, so the stakes were high. (And the early action delivered!)…
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…

Forget the writer’s strike or the latest actor’s strike, Hollywood faces a bigger problem: two-parters. Every other movie this year abruptly ends in the middle of a scene, forcing audiences to wait another year or two for the conclusion. It’s a frustrating tactic designed to extract more money from our pockets. Fast X started the summer trend, abruptly cutting to black during a final action sequence that shows Dom and his kid facing a wall of flames. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse surprisingly rolls the credits after building up to an epic finale, leaving viewers waiting until at least March 2024.…
When the weather gets warmer, it’s fun to mix things up with your nail colours. Wave goodbye to the dark-red, brown, and black polishes of the winter months and the pretty pastels of spring.

If you’re a fan of an eye-catching mani, then now’s the time for your nails to shine (quite literally).Of course, that’s not to say you can’t wear dark colours in the warmer months and bright colours in colder seasons, but there’s something that just screams summer when you’ve got a fun, bold manicure.

Rubbing newborns delivered via C-section with a gauze placed in their mothers’ vaginas may improve their developmentAntonio Hugo/Getty Images Transferring vaginal bacteria to newborns delivered via Caesarean section appears to benefit their early development. This is based on the results of a small study, however, and on mothers reporting their child’s milestones. Further research is therefore required before this practice can be recommended. Among babies born vaginally, their early gut microbiome tends to be rich in bacteria from their mothers’ vaginas, while that of those born via C-section is often dominated by bacteria from their mothers’ skin, the environment and…

Honda can collect information about your vehicle (such as fuel levels, tire pressure, and battery charge status); trip log information (such as when you start and end a journey); and airbag system status.

Driver behavior information can include pedal position, engine speed, and steering angle, among other things.There’s also “on-board data,” which is information that is generated by your car…

If you have been in the path of the smoke from wildfires in Canada this month—or if you’ve been caught up in wildfire smoke before—you may have experienced feelings of anxiety and claustrophobia as the skies turned an apocalyptic orange. It’s a common reaction and an understandable one, says Thomas Joseph Doherty, a licensed psychologist in Portland, Ore., who takes an environmental approach to mental health. “It looks troubling; it feels troubling,” Doherty says, “the smell, the haze.” As wildfire season wears on, many more people may end up under a smoky haze, making it important to be aware of…
