I dearly love a paperback book that I can bend, touch, smell, and display on my bookshelf when I’m done. But there’s no doubt that ebook readers (also called e-readers) make life easier—they might just make you read more too. E-readers let you carry thousands of books or dozens of audiobooks in a single, slim, rectangular tablet; they have paperlike screens that are easy on the eyes; and they won’t inundate you with distracting notifications. Books can also be expensive and take up a lot of physical space, but that’s not a problem with ebooks. Even better, you can check…
Skid Row’s eponymous 1989 debut album featured quite a few songs that became massively successful, but one of them almost didn’t make the cut.During a chat with the Professor of Rock YouTube channel, Skid Row guitarist Dave “Snake” Sabo recalled that the power ballad “I Remember You,” which was the third single they released from the album, was almost left off of it.”Rachel [Bolan] and I had wrote it more as like, just to exercise that songwriting muscle, which you need to do as a songwriter. You write a bunch of songs, and not all of them are gonna make it…
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who’s recently taken on the role of DC Comics anti-hero Black Adam, reportedly turned down a cameo in Shazam! Fury of the Gods. It seems like a strange choice, especially since most fans know of Black Adam through his connection to Shazam. Black Adam is frequently featured as one of Shazam’s biggest antagonists. Black Adam itself, released on October 21, 2022, introduced the character to the larger moviegoing world, as well as established the Justice Society Of America.In the wake of all the turmoil going on at DC right now, after it was announced that James Gunn would take…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Placeholder? There is a modicum of truth behind every ‘event’ in The Placeholder, be it a name, a place, an issue itself, probably 80% of the book came from experiences lived or told to me. Some people find the book mortifying, a type of: how could a woman (love that, as if it were a man it would be better received) be with so many men, be so desperate for love, make such bad decisions for being so well educated. Well, my reading friends, it can and does…

DOI: 10.18632/aging.204471 A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging entitled “Single-cell transcriptomics of peripheral blood in the aging mouse.” Compositional and transcriptional changes in the hematopoietic system have been used as biomarkers of immunosenescence and aging. In this new study, researchers Yee Voan Teo, Samuel J. Hinthorn, Ashley E. Webb, and Nicola Neretti from Brown University used single-cell RNA-sequencing to study the aging peripheral blood in mice and characterize the changes in cell-type composition and transcriptional profiles associated with age. “The functional decline…

Invasive species introduced by humans to new regions can also be markers, the scientists said. The inadvertent import of alien species in the ballast water of ships arriving in San Francisco from Asia transformed the San Francisco Bay. “There was a point where 98 percent of the mass of all of the animal species in the bay were actually invasive,” Waters said. Pollen from introduced plant species, such as the trees used in commercial forestry, can also record change.Chemical and metal pollution show up in sediments too, said Turner: “The Green Revolution was based on artificial fertilizers and pesticides, and…

California is taking a beating from what the National Weather Service has called a “seemingly never ending parade” of strong storm systems, which started late last December and are still coming. Called atmospheric rivers, they are long, narrow currents of exceptionally wet air that shoot across the ocean, capable of dumping massive volumes of rain or snow on landfall. Although these storms deliver much of the West’s precipitation, they also cause most of the region’s flooding, with associated economic damages as high as $1 billion a year. This winter’s spate of storms has killed more than a dozen people in…
Principles of Education by Donald Sung Childhood education, according to Donald Sung, is the foundation for people, families, society and the future of the world. Sung has addressed this belief in his scholarly work Principles of Education (Barnes & Noble Press), in which he defines and details 81 principles that parents, educators and learners need to consider to maximize a child’s learning. Together, the principles make up a childhood educational theory that tackles a learner’s conditions, environment and educational processes.

2023 marks the 15th anniversary of the found footage monster film Cloverfield, and in a recent interview with Syfy, director Matt Reeves spoke about how the backstory the team developed for the monster. Reeves — who directed the 2008 film — was asked about whether or not he ever had a backstory for the monster, which has since become affectionately known as “Clover.” According to Reeves, he did, mainly because, in order to direct the film, he wanted to understand what the monster was going through as well. With that in mind, the team behind the film conceived the monster…

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is projected to continue rising and one in three Singaporeans currently has a risk of developing diabetes in their lifetime. Several early-life cardiometabolic complications make identifying high-risk populations and application of diabetes preventive strategies paramount. Among the high-risk groups are women who experienced diabetes during pregnancy, commonly known as gestational diabetes mellitus or gestational diabetes. Compared to the general healthy female population, these women may face a ten-fold higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Current known research has found that, instead of artificially- and sugar-sweetened drinks, drinking two to five cups of either…

Avatar: The Way of Water is a movie event a decade in the making. But if all goes as planned, it won’t be the last. James Cameron had already shot Avatar 3 (at least the motion capture for it) before The Way of Water ever opened in theaters, and he’s got the full franchise mapped out through Avatar 5.If these movies don’t do well at the box office, Avatar 4 and 5 might never happen, but Avatar 3 is pretty much guaranteed at this point because it’s already so far into production. And with The Way of Water now playing, we have some theories about where the franchise is…
Facile synthesis of functionalized dibenzo-fused azacyclooctynes (DIBACs) by click reaction and subsequent cobalt decomplexation. Credit: Laboratory of Chemical Bioscience, TMDU The 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded in part for what can be a quite difficult problem: precisely altering one aspect of biomolecules without affecting the rest of the cell. Now, in a study recently published in Organic Letters, researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) and coworkers have concisely synthesized a class of molecules that will greatly facilitate such work. Imagine experimenting with the preparation of bread by neglecting to add yeast. You’ll notice many effects—in addition…

In early October 2022 Jane Stadnik, a family resource specialist at the Parent Education & Advocacy Leadership (PEAL) Center in Pittsburgh, Pa., got a frantic call from the mother of a three-year-old boy who was about to be expelled from preschool. The school was tiring of his disruptive behavior, which, it claimed, included throwing blocks, not following directions, refusing to sit at “circle time” and periodically running from the classroom. Stadnik says that this would normally be seen as “typical developmental preschool behavior,” especially for a child with a speech impediment. The boy’s parents were already at their wit’s end:…
