Shopping for basics is admittedly not the most exciting thing in the world, but they’re some of the most important wardrobe purchases you can make. And since you wear them so often, you’ll probably need to replace them more often than other items in your wardrobe, which means that you need them to be affordable. Enter H&M.You may first think of H&M as a source for trend-led pieces, but I’m happy to tell you that the brand also stocks amazing basics. We love the selection of denim, T-shirts, blazers and tanks, in particular, and I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve nipped in on…

Hassold says that his grandmother was a victim of an impersonation scam in the mid-2000s when attackers called and pretended to be him, persuading her to send them $1,500.“With my grandmother, the scammer didn’t say who was calling initially, they just started talking about how they had been arrested while attending a music festival in Canada and needed her to send money for bail. Her response was ‘Crane, is that you?’ and then they had exactly what they needed,” he says. “Scammers are essentially priming their victims into believing what they want them to believe.”As with many social engineering scams,…

In the winter, I love to sit in front of the fireplace show on Netflix and cuddle up with a good audiobook. I sip warm tea while listening to something like Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May, narrated by Rebecca Lee. Lee’s soothing voice with May’s comforting words is just the ticket for seasonal blues. Sometimes, though, I want a story to whisk me away to the polar north, like the full cast performance of Philip…

Illustration of the early ichthyopterygian whose remains were found in SpitsbergenEsther van Hulsen The oldest fossils of an ichthyosaur ever found indicate that these fish-like reptiles evolved earlier than we thought – perhaps even before the world’s worst mass extinction, which hit 252 million years ago. Ichthyosaurs were among the reptile lineages that proliferated in the wake of the end-Permian mass extinction, along with the dinosaurs. It was thought that they evolved from land-dwelling ancestors after the mass extinction. The new fossils are 11 vertebrae and 15 bone fragments found in Spitsbergen, a Norwegian island in the Arctic.

Are you a zebra fish? If not, you are missing out on something: the ability to see infrared light, the thermal radiation beyond the scope of human vision given off by everything around you.Fortunately for those without the Cyp27c1 enzyme that allows zebra fish to see infrared light, thermal cameras—like the $550 FLIR One Edge Pro—can capture otherwise invisible infrared light, and in doing so show us how warm or cool the things around us are. That’s a handy trick for lots of reasons: Zebra fish can see food in the dark, homeowners can see where the heat is escaping from their…

[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Succession, Season 4 Episode 2, “Rehearsal.”] “I want to know that we’re killing the opposition; slitting their throats,” Logan Roy (Brian Cox) yells from the bullpen of ATN, riling up his version of a crew (read: white people in businesswear). “You’re fucking pirates.” This week’s episode of Succession picks up shortly after the tight, simmering introduction last week’s premiere brought us, upping the ante in a few ways. Even so, this season feels like it’s still on the on-ramp — we’re clearly gearing up for bigger events, and the restraint exhibited by Jesse…

Mathematics is the language that lets us describe the universe. Galileo Galilei was already convinced of that in the 16th century. But even everyday phenomena such as the melting of an ice cube in a glass of water can lead to equations that are so complex that they overwhelm those with high levels of mathematical expertise. That has not stopped Argentine mathematician Luis Caffarelli from devoting himself to precisely such problems during his research career, however. The Norwegian Academy of Sciences and Letters has now honored Caffarelli with this year’s Abel Prize, the highest honor in mathematics. Caffarelli was born…

CLIMATEWIRE | The president of one of the world’s largest insurance brokers warned Wednesday that climate change is destabilizing the insurance industry, driving up prices and pushing insurers out of high-risk markets. Aon PLC President Eric Andersen told a Senate committee that climate change is injecting uncertainty into an industry built on risk prediction and has created “a crisis of confidence around the ability to predict loss.” Reinsurance companies, which help insurers pay catastrophic losses, “have been withdrawing from high-risk areas, around wildfire and flood in particular,” Andersen told the Senate Budget Committee. He added, “Just as the U.S. economy was…

Consequences.It’s rare that a franchise gets better with each installment — or that a franchise keeps making more and more money as it goes on. Both are arguably true in the case of John Wick: Chapter 4, the great action franchise of our era. And it’s inarguably true that the latest film, John Wick: Chapter 4, had the biggest opening weekend of any film in the series so far.Debuting in about 3,800 theaters last weekend, the movie grossed a whopping $73.5 million. That easily beats the opening weekend of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which opened with $56.8 million in ticket sales back in 2019.…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Gothic Revival? I’ve always been a fan of classic, gothic stories like Frankenstein, Dracula, Jekyll & Hyde, House of Usher, and such. Sometime last year I came across a reference to Mary Shelley and the Villa Diodati and started poking around, refreshing my memory of that fascinating story. I re-watched the mid-80s movie Gothic with Natasha Richardson and Gabriel Byrne. I remember liking it in college, but it was quite bad. I can’t say it was unwatchable, because I watched it. Twice! I also re-read Frankenstein, which held up…

China’s stricter clean heating policies have improved air quality in northern China, particularly in Beijing and surrounding cities- potentially reducing 23,000 premature deaths due to air pollution in 2021 than in 2015, a new study reveals. From 2015 to 2021, the impact of winter heating on China’s capital and 27 other cities saw concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from heating activities reduce by 41.3% — compared with a drop of 12.9% in other northern Chinese cities which use lower levels of clean fuels than the ‘2+26’ cities. China’s centralised winter heating strategy is one of the world’s largest energy-consumption…

Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is currently not plausible, as is shown in a new study released by Universität Hamburg’s Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS). Climate policy, protests, and the Ukraine crisis: the participating researchers systematically assessed to what extent social changes are already underway — while also analyzing certain physical processes frequently discussed as tipping points. Their conclusion: social change is essential to meeting the temperature goals set in Paris. But what has been achieved to date is insufficient. Accordingly, climate adaptation will also have to be approached from a new angle. The…

Days of Our Lives has had a balance problem for a while. It often seems like there are too many stories and characters, and some get lost in the shuffle. Some characters and storylines dominate available airtime, while others vanish for weeks. The off-kilter pacing of some stories can kill viewer interest or make fans feel like the writers are playing favorites. The way the Bo storyline played out on Days of Our Lives during the week of 3-27-23 is a great example, as the old-school adventure dominated the days it aired while other stories felt like they were left…

Personally, I lean towards timeless style, so I know my interest in more out-there trends will probably be short-lived. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy the experience of sporting something outside of my comfort zone from time to time, so renting is perfect for me. By now, you might be thinking “Sounds great!
