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…

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured a lush, highly detailed landscape the iconic Pillars of Creation where new stars are forming within dense clouds of gas and dust.

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…

Data from cars could be used to teach more sophisticated algorithms to recognize when a person is, say, safely scrolling through the car’s infotainment system during an easy drive on a sunny four-lane highway—or riskily fiddling with a playlist while navigating city streets in the snow. Alerts might sound or flash or buzz in the latter situation but not the former.When a driver is trying to multitask, researchers who study the psychology and mechanics of driving tend to evaluate their distraction based on whether their eyes are coming back to the road often, and for long enough, to reestablish a…

New UC Riverside research suggests nitrogen released by gas-powered machines causes dry soil to let go of carbon and release it back into the atmosphere, where it can contribute to climate change. Industrial manufacturing, agricultural practices, and significantly, vehicles, all burn fossil fuels that release nitrogen into the air. As a result, levels of nitrogen in Earth’s atmosphere have tripled since 1850. The research team wanted to understand whether this extra nitrogen is affecting soil’s ability to hold onto carbon and keep it from becoming a greenhouse gas. “Because nitrogen is used as a fertilizer for plants, we expected additional…

The Vivo V23 Pro 5G was a mid-range smartphone that was laser-focussed on design alone. Apart from being really slim and lightweight, it also introduced the colour-changing rear panel as a unique selling point for the series. What it also brought along was a noticeable jump in price, which was a lot higher than the Vivo V20 Pro 5G that it succeeded. The Vivo V23 Pro 5G offered mid-range hardware but at Rs. 38,990, was priced closer to devices that had much better specs.With the V25 Pro, Vivo has made some subtle changes to the design, but has added some much-needed improvements when…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Many Shades of Midnight? The story explores a crisis similar to climate change, although it’s very much a fantasy version, more of a zombie apocalypse than global warming. But the real story of the book is the greed and corruption that led to the crisis and that is inspired by what’s going on in our world every day. It’s an exploration of the mentality that prioritizes profits and self-interest over everything else, only in this world time really has run out and the problem is no longer one…

It’s not just Donald Trump. Trump’s rival for the 2024 Republican nomination, Florida Gov.

Criticizing the media emerged as an effective bipartisan political tactic in the 1960s. GOP Sen.…
