These days, Red Hot Chili Peppers are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers with a string of successful albums that have helped define their career. But in 1984, the young rockers were just getting their start, fresh from high school and looking to make a name for themselves in the music industry. And while the band’s self-titled debut disc, released on Aug. 10, 1984, would not go on to sell millions of records or even generate a breakout hit, it did show the promise of things to come.The original lineup featured Red Hot Chili Peppers mainstays Anthony Kiedis on vocals and…

The Serpent’s Teeth by Stephen Kronwith What’s it About? When a wealthy woman turns up murdered, suspects abound — including her four children.

It’s often said that ancient Egyptian royalty married within the family, with pharaohs marrying siblings and sometimes even children. But is there any truth to the claim?The answer is yes: People in ancient Egypt — both royal and nonroyal — married their relatives, but the details vary according to the time period and class.Among the general population, brother-sister marriages occurred frequently during the time the Romans controlled Egypt — from 30 B.C. to A.D. 395 — but they were rarer in earlier time periods, according to ancient records. Meanwhile, ancient Egyptian royals sometimes married their siblings — a practice that…
Jimmy Buffett, the musical troubadour known for his island-tinged, rum-soaked hits including “Margaritaville,” “A Pirate Looks at Forty” and “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” as well as his empire of businesses including his chain of Margaritaville cafes, died on Friday (Sept. 1) at age 76. “Jimmy passed away on the night of September 1st surrounded by his family, friends, music and dogs,” an early Saturday morning (Sept. 2) post on his official website read. “He lived his life like a song till the very last breath and will be missed beyond measure by so many.” The Mississippi-born, Alabama-raised Buffett was a globally-known…

A 300,000-year-old hunting weapon has shone a new light on early humans as woodworking masters, according to a new study. State-of-the-art analysis of a double-pointed wooden throwing stick, found in Schöningen in Germany three decades ago, shows it was scraped, seasoned and sanded before being used to kill animals. The research indicates early humans’ woodworking techniques were more developed and sophisticated than previously understood. The findings, published today (Wednesday, 19 July) in PLOS ONE, also suggest the creation of lightweight weapons may have enabled group hunts of medium and small animals. The use of throwing sticks as hunting aids could…

[]Archaeologists in southern Russia say they’ve discovered the ruins of a 2,000-year-old synagogue — a rare discovery given that buildings for Jewish worship from this period are seldom found outside the Holy Land.[]The team made the discovery just a few miles east of Crimea on Russia’s Taman Peninsula, where they’re excavating the remains of an ancient Greek colony at the Phanagoria archaeological site. The synagogue’s age hasn’t yet been verified in a peer-reviewed study, but it may date to more than 100 years before the Second Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed by Roman legions in A.D. 70.[]Although the archaeologists on…
Metallica were forced to postpone their concert scheduled in Glendale, Arizona for Sunday (September 3rd) after frontman James Hetfield tested positive for COVID-19. The show has been rescheduled for September 9th and tickets will be honored at the new date. On Friday night, during the band’s first of two concerts in Glendale, Metallica played an abbreviated 14-song set (down from the usual 16 songs) as Hetfield was experiencing vocal issues. Turns out that was likely due to him contracting COVID. “We’re extremely disappointed and regret any inconvenience this has caused you; we look forward to returning to complete the ‘M72…

SUCH KINDNESS by Andre Dubus III Tom Lowe is broke, rudderless, and approaching toxic levels of bitterness as this audiobook opens. Once he proudly defined himself as a devoted husband, father, and carpenter; now, following an accident, he can’t define himself at all. Dubus works narrative magic here. Without giving too much away, know that Tom’s story is ultimately a satisfying one, and Dubus navigates that transformation admirably. As Tom’s outlook brightens, Dubus’s voice quietly lightens. Dubus artfully delivers dialogue, humor, sorrow, and Tom’s personal meditations with depth and alacrity. An outstanding performance of an excellent story. Review Read The…

It might seem sacrilegious given that July has only just begun, but hear me out: Fashion people are already thinking about—and wearing!—the trends we know will be big news this autumn. Those of us who work in the industry are practically programmed to live a season ahead, keeping mental notes and archiving observations on items or aesthetics we think will be of interest to our readers in a week, month or even six months. And it seems as though content creators on both Instagram and TikTok are also speeding up their style cycles and blurring the lines between summer and autumn with their current…

Vera_Petrunina/Getty Images YOU have heaped your shopping on the supermarket conveyor belt and a friendly member of the checkout staff is scanning it through. Items are coming thick and fast and you would like to get them in as few bags as possible. What is your strategy? This is an example of an optimisation problem, from an area of maths called operational research. One important question is, what are you trying to optimise? Are you thinking about the weight of the items, or how much space they will take up? Do you guess how many bags you might need and…
Before Jimmy Buffett appeared on Billboard’s charts, he was writing about other artists who did. Buffett, who died Friday (Sept. 1) at age 76, worked as a Nashville reporter for Billboard from 1969 to 1970. He quit when his first album, Debut to Earth, was released because he was told that continuing, would be a conflict of interest. Among the concerts he reviewed was Isaac Hayes at Nashville’s Municipal Auditorium, writing, “The Hot Buttered Soul Man combined his songs and his keyboard work on both organ and piano with a full and powerful voice range that created a style [that] was truly his own.” In 2021, Buffett…

Scientists from Scripps Research and Cardiff University made key discoveries in support of a new stem cell-based therapy for Parkinson’s disease. The approach, called an autologous therapy, uses induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) — made from a patient’s own skin or blood cells — to replace the neurons in the brain that are lost in Parkinson’s. Transplants of a person’s own cells eliminates the need for immunosuppression. In a new study, the researchers used iPSCs made from the skin cells of two people with Parkinson’s disease to make young neurons that were successfully transplanted into a rat model with the…

In a way, stars are like doughnuts: You have to rip them apart to see what’s inside. Luckily for astronomers, sometimes the cosmos does just that — when a black hole shreds a star that passes by too closely in a violent spectacle called a tidal disruption event (TDE). (The phenomenon is more whimsically known as “spaghettification”).In new research published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, astronomers used a TDE to precisely measure the amounts of certain elements — namely, nitrogen and carbon — around a black hole to infer that a huge star three times bigger than the sun was…
