When you’ve been in a relationship for as long as I have (we’re talking 16 years), it’s not unusual for date nights to lose their sparkle. Though, when I speak to my single friends about their upcoming dates, often, they too are less than enthused about prepping for them. Gone are the days, however, when “sexy” was the dress code to adhere to for date nights. Whether it’s your first or 50th, it’s important that you stay true to yourself and wear an outfit that reflects who you are and your individual style.Still, no matter how self-assured you are, there’s always…

Trans-Tasman research collaborators from Te Herenga Waka — Victoria University of Wellington’s Ferrier Research Institute and the Malaghan Institute of Medical Research in New Zealand, and the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Australia have developed an mRNA-based vaccine that can effectively target and stimulate protective immune cell responses against the malaria-causing parasite Plasmodium in preclinical models. Ferrier Research Institute’s Professor Gavin Painter says the approach is distinctive, as the team leveraged years of prior research from the University of Melbourne’s Professor Bill Heath at the Doherty Institute and Professor Ian Hermans from the Malaghan Institute. “Thanks to…
No one is perfect. But some people can make very, very poor decisions in their lives, and musicians aren’t exempt from that.Rock and metal has had its fair share of crimes and other heinous events, dating all the way back to the ’50s when rock ‘n’ roll was first starting to really take off. Drug charges, abuse allegations and other forms of reckless behavior seem to have been a way of life for a lot of musicians in every decade since then, so there are countless rockers who’ve been arrested.But how many were actually charged, convicted and served time in prison?One of the…

Beneath the varnish of flashing lights and free cocktails, casinos stand on a bedrock of mathematics, engineered to slowly bleed their patrons of cash. For years, mathematically inclined minds have tried to turn the tables by harnessing their knowledge of probability and game theory to exploit weaknesses in a rigged system. An amusing example played out when the American Physical Society held a conference in Las Vegas in 1986, and a local newspaper reportedly ran the headline “Physicists in Town, Lowest Casino Take Ever.” The story goes that the physicists knew the optimal strategy to outwit any casino game: don’t…
Hailey Bieber knows that sometimes, less is more. On a July 19 date night with husband Justin Bieber, the Rhode founder made her way to New York restaurant L’Artusi in a dreamy, asymmetrical white minidress. The simple design appeared ideal for summer, featuring a light floral pattern, side leg slit, and tiny triangular cutout along her collarbone. Hailey looked perfectly elegant and ready for a night out, accessorizing the silk dress with delicate golden jewelry, tinted sunglasses, and white strappy sandals. Justin, on the other hand, went more casual in a taupe hoodie, white tank top, and checkered baseball cap.…
Lauren Goode: Thank you. I mean, I do like to stay informed, it is what we do, we live in the news, we live in information, but—yeah, it’s almost like if, when I’m on a plane, I’d rather not know the turbulence is coming. I’d rather just—OK, oh, there was a bump, right? But when the pilot gets on and says we’re going to have 30 minutes of severe turbulence coming up, I am like, “Oh my God,” I’m gripping my seat. But if there are few bumps along the way, and I feel like, “Oh, we’re all on this…
Artists tend to resent when their band is given a specific label, and nu-metal was one of the most scoffed at genre names for a long time. But how does Chad Gray feel about Mudvayne being called nu-metal?Korn are often considered one of the bands that really spearheaded the nu-metal movement in the mid-’90s, opening the door for later bands such as Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Deftones and Papa Roach to all become part of the same classification. Yes, a lot of the bands that were part of the early nu-metal foundation sounded very distinct from one another, but there were elements…

A catalyst using a single or just a few palladium atoms removed 90% of unburned methane from natural gas engine exhaust at low temperatures in a recent study. While more research needs to be done, the advance in single atom catalysis has the potential to lower exhaust emissions of methane, one of the worst greenhouse gases that traps heat at about 25 times the rate of carbon dioxide. Reporting in the journal, Nature Catalysis, a research effort between Washington State University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory showed that the single-atom catalyst was able to remove methane from engine exhaust at…

Gastrulation, the process where an embryo reorganizes itself from a hollow sphere into a multilayered structure, is considered a “black box” of human development. This is because human embryos are typically not cultured for longer than 14 days because of bioethical concerns, and gastrulation occurs between 17- and 21-days post-fertilization. In addition, current stem cell models that mimic gastrulation have not been able to include the necessary extraembryonic tissues that give rise to the yolk sac and the placenta. In a study appearing on July 20 in the journal Cell, researchers report a new method to develop “peri-gastruloids,” an embryo-like…
Last summer, a Mississippi poet and author named Teresa La Dart filed a copyright lawsuit against Taylor Swift, claiming that the pop star stole design details of La Dart’s 2010 poetry book Lover and used it for the book accompanying Swift’s 2019 album of the same name. Now, La Dart has permanently dropped her case against Swift, Billboard reports and Pitchfork can confirm. The motion, filed Thursday (July 27) in a Tennessee federal court, was the result of a voluntary dismissal, not a settlement.In the initial complaint (obtained by Pitchfork), La Dart alleged that Swift’s Lover book—which came with the…
Chris Pine ended up getting the lead role in the J.J. Abrams Star Trek trilogy. That doesn’t mean there weren’t other strong competitors.

Abrams and he’s just a lovely, lovely guy. And just a lovely audition process. Somewhere in…

Captain Jason Chambers is speaking out. The Below Deck Down Under star, who fired two members of his crew following two incidents of sexual misconduct, took to Instagram on Wednesday to speak out about the situation. On Below Deck Down Under Season 2 Episode 7, airing Monday on Bravo, Jason fired Luke Jones after he got into stewardess Margot Sisson’s bed naked as she slept. Laura Bileskalne was fired later in the episode for sympathizing with Luke, comments to Margot about the incident, and her inappropriate actions towards deckhand Adam Kodra. “Hi everybody, I’m sure you’re digesting episodes six and…
Sabertooth cats make up a diverse group of long-toothed predators that roamed Africa around 6-7 million years ago, around the time that hominins — the group that includes modern humans — began to evolve. By examining one of the largest global Pliocene collections of fossils in Langebaanweg, north of Cape Town in South Africa, researchers present two new sabertooth species and the first family tree of the region’s ancient sabertooths on July 20 in the journal iScience. Their results suggestthat the distribution of sabertooths throughout ancient Africa might have been different than previously assumed, and the study provides important information…
Photography by Getty Images The Princess of Wales’ tennis style always hits. By Jennifer Berry Date July 20, 2023 Do you have to be a sports fan to appreciate a good athletic outfit? The answer is an unequivocal no. Just look to skiing. You can embrace your inner ski bunny without ever hitting the cold icy slopes by wearing your cutest intarsia knit and furry boots for après. And do you think those girlies wearing two-piece exercise sets topped with oversized white shirts are all coming from pilates? The same goes for tennis — follow the Kate Middleton Wimbledon style…
The work has attracted the interest of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, whose Division of Vector-Borne Diseases has given the group a five-year grant. “The preliminary work looked good at the proof-of-concept stage,” says Lars Eisen, a research entomologist in the Vector-Borne Diseases Division. “This is additional funding to do a larger-scale field trial in Connecticut, in an inland setting, and an island setting in Maine.”The project contains complexities. A 1990s attempt to feed the original formulation of ivermectin to deer foundered on the multiple roles that deer play in the landscape. They are not only free-living wildlife,…

Muons continue to confound physicists. These unstable subatomic particles are much like familiar electrons, only with 200 times the mass and a fleeting lifetime of just 2.2 microseconds. Unlike electrons, however, muons are at the center of a tangled inquiry into the prevailing theory of particle physics. For decades, physicists have puzzled over tantalizing hints that muons are more sensitive to magnetic fields than theory says they should be: run muons in circles around a powerful magnet, and they “wobble,” decaying in a different direction than expected. This apparent discrepancy in the muon’s “magnetic moment” has been significant to physicists…
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. Stephen King penned Carrie on a small desk wedged between a washer and dryer. James Patterson worked in advertising and famously wrote the Toys “R” Us theme song long before becoming an author. Whether you’re traditionally published or indie, writing a good book is only the first step in becoming a successful author. The days of just turning a manuscript in to your editor and walking away are gone. If…
