BookTrib is proud to present to our readers the Writers, Ink podcast, a show about the business of writing. J.K. Rowling was nearly homeless when she wrote the first Harry Potter book.

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today proposed a landmark set of pollution regulations that could spark an electric-vehicle revolution and drive down greenhouse-gas emissions. Under the rules, electric vehicles could account for an estimated 67% of new US passenger-car sales by 2032 and additional gains for larger vehicles — a major feat for a country where transportation is the largest source of greenhouse-gas emissions. “These actions will accelerate the ongoing transition to a clean-vehicle future, tackle the climate crisis and improve our air quality for communities across the country,” EPA administrator Michael Regan said during a press conference. The rules, which…
Photography by Getty Images From design elements for the visually impaired to undergarment fasteners for wheelchair users, here are seven labels making fashion more inclusive. By Natalie Michie Date April 4, 2023 Fashion has long touted its efforts to be more inclusive. But one group that disproportionately gets left out of the conversation is those with disabilities. While nearly 22 per cent of the Canadian population is part of this community, clothing catered to access needs is still not an industry norm. Nevertheless, awareness and demand for accessible clothing are on the rise. Adaptive fashion — made for people with…

An AI can generate more natural-sounding synthetic speech by including pausesShutterstock/PrinceOfLove Generating speech with different rhythms and pauses makes it sound more human-like, according to an assessment of an artificial intelligence trained on speech taken from YouTube and podcasts.

Photography courtesy of HBO Money talks and wealth whispers, as they say. By Jennifer Berry Date April 4, 2023 What’s the opposite of a ludicrously capacious bag? A stunningly exorbitant chapeau like the ones Kendall Roy routinely wears, of course. On the HBO darling Succession, now in its fourth and final season, both the dialogue and the wardrobe have a blink-and-you-miss-it quality that means if you get up for a glass of water, you might not catch zingers like Tom Wambsgan’s decimation of cousin Greg’s date’s “gargantuan” Burberry tote — and the obscenely expensive yet seemingly anonymous luxury items worn…
It’s not exactly easy for a gaming monitor to stand out. Once you hit a few key specs—at least 1440p, 120 Hz, 0.1-ms response time, and a few others—just about any display will do. Some companies combat this by improving their color reproduction or cranking those specs even higher. Then there’s BenQ, which decided to make this ludicrously large 48-inch model I’ve spent a few weeks testing.As a display, the BenQ Mobiuz OLED gaming monitor—specifically model EX480UZ—is impressive. On a spec sheet, it ticks all the boxes you’d want while playing games. It has a 4K OLED panel, a 120-Hz…
Scientists recently boosted the resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to 64 million times higher than normal. They used the technique to take captivating, high-definition images of a mouse brain, showing the organ like never before. While the swirly, psychedelic images are that of a rodent’s brain, the research team thinks humans could be next to undergo one of these newly enhanced brain scans. The technology could help doctors detect changes to the human brain that occur due to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, as well as changes linked to healthy aging. The mouse scan was shared as part of a…

Though we have been deep in the current wave of book bans for over two years, new groups and organizations continue organizing campaigns to raise awareness of the situation. There are so many big and small groups doing good work on the issue, and they have done tremendous work in not only ensuring that people know about book bans but that they have access to resources, tools, and support to take action.

But a growing number of researchers say that overlooks another key contributor: inflammation, which is linked to the background activity of the immune system. This week, research showed that in people taking…
