Emerging From the Dark by Terence Ang Many people have no idea about a stroke and its consequences. Terence Ang was one such person – and never bothered to learn about it. “I had the misconception,” he says, “that it only happened to old people. And as long as I maintained a clean bill of health, I was safe. How wrong I was.” Since then, Ang has become something of an evangelist for the disease, having written two books on the subject, spoken at a major international conference and doing what he can to educate people on the effects and…

Japanese police warned that the cyberattack group sends phishing emails to employees of a crypto firm, pretending to be an executive of the company.In the public advisory statement issued on October 14, Japan’s National Police Agency (NPA) and Financial…
I HAVE seen my future and it is full of beans, both literally and metaphorically. As well as upping my bean count, there will be a lot of vegetables, no meat, long periods of hunger and hardly any alcohol. But in return for this dietary discipline, my future will also be significantly longer and sprightlier. I am 52 and, on my current diet, can expect to live another 29 years. But if I change now, I could gain an extra decade and live in good health into my 90s. This “longevity diet” isn’t just the latest fad, it is the…

Photography via LIAM DANIEL/NETFLIX Queen Charlotte’s natural curls reign supreme. By Lauren Knowles Date May 17, 2023 With the arrival of Netflix’s Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, we’ve been once again swept up into a Bridgerton fantasy — one in which the tale of Queen Charlotte’s ascension to the throne is accompanied by all the enchanting elements of pomp, pageantry, and risqué romance that we love about the original series. Only this time, the Queen and her natural hair help to propel the story in a way we hadn’t yet experienced in a period drama before. This prequel winds back the clock…
These problems come from the top. Machine learning research is overwhelmingly male and white, a demographic world away from the diverse communities it purports to help. And Big Tech firms don’t just offer online diversions—they hold enormous amounts of power to shape events in the real world.Birhane and others have branded this “digital colonialism”—arguing that the power of Big Tech rivals the old colonial empires. Its harms will not affect us all equally, she argues: As technology is exported to the global south, it carries embedded Western norms and philosophies along with it. It’s sold as a way of helping…
WHETHER it is a bracing sea breeze, the gentle lapping of waves or the glint of sunshine on a rippling surface, there is something deeply restorative about being in or near water. The Victorians knew this, prescribing sea air as a treatment for melancholy. So did the French, who, for centuries, sent people with ailments to natural springs. Now scientists are catching up. We recognise the benefits of being out in nature more keenly than ever these days. Hundreds of studies that catalogue the positive effects are being translated into health policies and urban redevelopment projects that aim to nudge…

So as Pike would say as the new season blasts off, “Hit It!” However, there’s another captain with a familiar name that will show this season: Kirk! But it’s not the Captain James Kirk we remember; that one…
Ultrafast laser physicists from the attoworld team at LMU and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics have gained new insights into the dynamics of electrons in solids immediately after photoinjection. A laser pulse hits an electron in a solid. If it receives enough energy from the light wave, it can then move freely through a solid. This phenomenon, which scientists have been exploring since the beginnings of quantum mechanics, is called photoinjection. There are still open questions about how the relevant processes unfold in time. Laser physicists of the attoworld team of LMU and the Max Planck Institute of…
In an interview with the Sunday Times, model Hailey Bieber opened up about her desire to have kids with her husband Justin Bieber, and what’s holding her back. The 26-year-old says she’s quite torn about the decision because of how any children they have will be in the spotlight.

It’s enough that people say things about my husband…

Examples of factors that affect the forest landscape and should be considered inregeneration decisions. From abiotic factors like sun radiation, precipitation, wind, and frost, to biotic risks such as browsing, insect feeding, and vegetation competition.

HBO shows tend to hit the headlines for all the right reasons, but something about The Idol keeps courting controversy. The latest drama stems from a Page Six report stating that the show is not expected to return to HBO. “This was never meant to be a long-running show, it was always … a limited series,” a source told the gossip site, adding that the door is not 100 percent closed. “The door is definitely still open — it’s definitely not a decision [yet].” “At this point, this is normal in our process … we’re only two episodes in.” The…
Right now, it’s safe to say my style is built solely on comfort. Working from home more often has meant leaving the house less. Living in Scotland and being the sort of person who feels the chill in even the slightest of breezes means that when I do venture out, staying warm is the goal, and making my outfits more practical has become an increased priority. Aside from the odd dress or skirt-and-jumper combination, I’ve spent more time than I’d like to admit in joggers this year—and not fancy ones at that. Comfortable they may be, but wearing them day in and day out made me…
