[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Shrinking Season 1 Episode 10, “Closure.”] Shrinking may have tackled a rollercoaster of emotions over its first season, but the finale, “Closure,” ended on a relatively happy note with the wedding of Jimmy’s (Jason Segel) best friend Brian (Michael Urie) to Charlie (Devin Kawaoka). Still, things couldn’t end entirely conflict-free after Paul (Harrison Ford) commented on Jimmy’s luck regarding his recent advice to patients. This “luck” ran out as patient Grace (Heidi Gardner) was seen “booping” her husband Donny (Tilky Jones) down a cliffside, per the advice of her therapist, seemingly killing the…

As someone who avoided wearing trousers for the best part of 20 years, I’ve always found it increasingly difficult to style them—particularly where shoes are concerned. Often, I’ll compile my looks from head to toe, starting with a statement top, the accompanying bottom half and then the footwear. However, I tend to find myself slipping on every shoe style I own (trust me—there are a few), unconvinced that any of them suit my strides.Some prove too chunky, while others make me feel frumpy. Either way, it’s not a very enjoyable experience. As such, I set about to find out which…
In the future, it might be a new mobile game or an algorithm helping students study at home. It could be the latest graphics card or exercise bike, or an app that pairs families with puppies. With fewer and fewer aspects of life going untouched by technology, it could be practically anything. Right now, it’s TikTok, with its billions of users worldwide. US Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia) wants the United States armed with the ability to take swift action against technology companies suspected of cavorting with foreign governments and spies, to effectively vanish their products from shelves and app stores when…

Becoming Free Indeed by Jinger Duggar Vuolo Growing up is difficult enough without having any extra pressures to contend with, but for those who are raised in the limelight, under the scrutiny of millions of viewers, it’s unimaginably worse.

The fact that she was merely one child in a household that ran into the double digits, it’s understandable when she draws comparisons between her life and The Truman Show.…
Researchers have successfully split seawater without pre-treatment to produce green hydrogen. The international team was led by the University of Adelaide’s Professor Shizhang Qiao and Associate Professor Yao Zheng from the School of Chemical Engineering. “We have split natural seawater into oxygen and hydrogen with nearly 100 per cent efficiency, to produce green hydrogen by electrolysis, using a non-precious and cheap catalyst in a commercial electrolyser,” said Professor Qiao. A typical non-precious catalyst is cobalt oxide with chromium oxide on its surface. “We used seawater as a feedstock without the need for any pre-treatment processes like reverse osmosis desolation, purification,…
Bo may be done with Megan, but that doesn’t mean he’s the man we all know and love. Now that Kayla’s discovered him in the halls, will he trick her into thinking he’s a good guy as he did with Kate? Sadly, it looks like that will happen, as spoilers for Days of Our Lives during the week of 3-27-23 have Bo whisking Kayla off to Victor’s childhood home. All these connections to Victor are doubly poignant after John Aniston’s death. Although the Bo/Victor connection wasn’t planned as a tribute to Aniston, it feels like one! The series has never…
When my former coworker reviewed the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Kicker Boot-Cut Ripped Cut-Off Jeans way back in 2021, I knew they’d eventually need to land a spot in my wardrobe. I fell in love with everything about them, from the cutoff hem to their understated boot-cut silhouette, but I waited too long to add them to my cart, and they ultimately went out of stock — until recently. While checking out the brand’s new arrivals for March, I came across an updated version of the original style. Enter the Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Button-Fly Kicker Boot-Cut Side-Slit Jeans…
Last week in London, a small group of protestors braved it out in the rain in front of the Francis Crick Institute, where the Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing was taking place. The sparse congregation, from the group Stop Designer Babies, brandished signs urging “Never Again to Eugenics” and “NO HGM”(no human genetic modification). The group campaigns against what it sees as the scientific community’s lurch towards using gene editing for biological enhancement—to tweak genomes to give, say, higher intelligence or blue eyes. If this came to pass, it would be a slippery slope towards eugenics, the group argues.Three days…

Winthrop Center is the tall glass building at the backMP Boston On a cold winter’s day in February, the drone of a powerful fan filled the cavernous office space on the 17th floor of a new skyscraper in downtown Boston. A group of building developers wearing hard hats and orange safety vests stood around as the fan sucked air from the space. They were conducting a depressurisation test as part of a process to confirm that the space – one of 21 floors of office in the 62-storey building – met new energy-saving standards. … Article amended on 14 March…

The US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report in 2022 saying health care providers should counsel and test patients who are more likely to have elevated PFAS exposure based on where they live or work. And EPA officials estimate that cleaning up the water will prevent thousands of deaths—and tens of thousands of cases of serious illness—in the US. Regulating the two commonly studied chemicals, as well as four additional ones, is “a really important first step,” says Katie Pelch, a scientist with the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), a nonprofit environmental advocacy group. But there is more to…

CLIMATEWIRE | When global leaders meet later this year to negotiate climate action, the urgency to cut planet-warming emissions will be starker than ever before. The world now needs to cut emissions by 60 percent by 2035 — compared with 2019 levels — to avoid increasingly severe heat, flooding, drought and extreme weather that will make parts of the world unlivable. That’s a key conclusion of the latest assessment from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which is made up of the world’s leading climate scientists. That target exceeds the 43 percent reduction by 2030 that countries have been…
