With more than three dozen seasons and more than 500 episodes to date, The Challenge is unquestionably one of MTV’s biggest hits. The show premiered on June 1, 1998, as Road Rules: All-Stars, a Road Rules spinoff starring cast members from The Real World. Since then, the series has undergone other transformations, rebranding as Real World/Road Rules Challenge and then just The Challenge and incorporating stars from other reality shows. And along the way, controversy after controversy has piled up both on screen and off, as you’ll see below. Content warning: This article covers racist comments and allegations of sexual…

I wish I could tell you that all skirt-and-shoe pairings are classic and never-changing, but they’re not. Truth be told, we’re talking about two items which feature heavily in the trends, and while some shapes and silhouettes will always be relevant, others are admittedly short-lived. Certain dressers might steer clear of these and invest solely in seasonless buys—think a black slip skirt and Chelsea boots. But if you do care about what’s current (because let’s face it, trying out trends can be so much fun), there are a few combinations worth considering for 2023.That being said, when curating our favourite formulas we’ve focused on pieces we…

The first protein-based nano-computing agent that functions as a circuit has been created by Penn State researchers. The milestone puts them one step closer to developing next-generation cell-based therapies to treat diseases like diabetes and cancer. Traditional synthetic biology approaches for cell-based therapies, such as ones that destroy cancer cells or encourage tissue regeneration after injury, rely on the expression or suppression of proteins that produce a desired action within a cell. This approach can take time (for proteins to be expressed and degrade) and cost cellular energy in the process. A team of Penn State College of Medicine and…
Deep Purple’s Roger Glover has heard the talk, but in a new interview with Rock Hard Greece, the bassist reveals that rumors of a reunion with onetime guitarist Ritchie Blackmore are unfounded.When asked if there was a chance that Blackmore would be returning, the bassist countered, “Not a chance. The rumors don’t come from us, that’s for sure. I mean, why on earth would we do that? I have the utmost regard for Ritchie as part of the band, and he was obviously an integral part of the band and what the band has become. But that’s moving backwards. We don’t…

“I don’t know if I’m on step 15,” said Olympia co-owner Sam Schroeder, who was twisting the hopper to adjust grind size. “That’s really sloppy.”Things got better after that though. Sam manned the grinder and Olympia’s retail trainer, Reyna Callejo, ran the espresso machine while I sat back and watched the experts work. Each time, the duo used 18 grams of Big Truck blend, working their way to 36 grams of espresso. Grind size 15 was too coarse, and 12 and 8 were, too. Six was too fine, and 7, as Reyna declared, “tastes like Big Truck!”In Olympia barista parlance, that…
Guns N’ Roses’ 2023 tour just kicked off in Abu Dhabi today (June 1), and fans’ wishes have been honored as the rockers played deep cuts from Appetite for Destruction and the Use Your Illusion albums for the first time in over 30 years, and even one from The Spaghetti Incident?.During the concert, which took place at the Etihad Arena, they opened the set with “It’s So Easy” — but followed it up with “Bad Obsession” from Use Your Illusion I, which hasn’t been played by the band since Feb. 6, 1993 (which would have been Axl Rose’s 31st birthday), according to Setlist.fm. Later in the performance,…

Writing a Series Versus a Standalone Novel Writers often debate the merits of writing a series versus standalone novels. There are pros and cons to either approach. I’ll recap the debate by focusing on three key elements in any novel: characters, setting, and plot. Characters. A series negates the need to create a new cast for each novel. It also allows for longer character arcs. Many readers enjoy revisiting characters they connected with, and the same is true of writers. While I enjoy creating new characters, I find it equally rewarding to plumb the depths of my characters in ways…
Looking back on our teenage years often elicits a grimace — it’s an awkward time, full of social faux pas, uncertainty and acne — but it’s one that we all must pass through on our way to adulthood. But do other animals also experience adolescence? This period of life comprises both physiological and social changes. Unquestionably, other animals experience puberty, the cascade of hormonal and physiological changes that enable mating. But researchers such as Dr. Barbara Natterson-Horowitz, a cardiologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, and Harvard University, argue that most, if not all, animals experience a…
June kicks off wedding season and June Weddings on the Hallmark Channel. Their first film, Wedding Season, was aptly named and starred Stephanie Bennett as a journalist standing up at three of her friends’ weddings and Casey Deidrick as her best friend’s brother and emerging photographer. During Wedding Season, Trish (Bennett) was assigned to write a feature article about an inside look into her friends getting married. When things went wrong, Ryan (Deidrick) ran interference and taught her about romance. While Wedding Season was a traditional romcom, it also focused on Trish’s personal journey and how she perceived relationships and…

Human fingers don’t just sense what a surface feels like. They also tell us a lot about what’s underneath it: a really firm handshake, for example, can reveal where some bones are, and, with enough prodding, one can even locate tendons. Inspired by this capability, scientists have developed a fingerlike device that maps an object’s internal structures in 3-D by touching its surface. Earlier tactile sensors detected external shape, stiffness and texture but not subsurface details. For a study in Cell Reports Physical Science, the researchers tested their device by scanning simulated human tissue and electronic circuitry. “This bionic finger…

University of Connecticut assistant professor Amy Egbert, who studies youth mental health, commented on the book challenges, saying, “Any time a certain identity is stigmatized, that tends to lead to more discrimination, more bullying, increased mental health challenges. Everything we know suggests this is very harmful to LGBTQ kids.” Despite the clear downsides to removing these books, challenges against them have increased. Data from the ALA shows that from 2000-2010, challenges against LGBTQ+ books only accounted for less than 1-3%. In 2018, that percentage increased to 16%, 20% in 2020, and 45.5% in 2022. Additionally, it seems that a majority…
Well, FROM Season 2 Episode 6 was certainly a game-changer. FROM Season 2 has been a rather slow affair, the whole season thus far covering about two days or so, but they’ve crammed an awful lot into that time frame, and as we head toward the end, it feels like we’re on the cusp of something. But what that something is, I do not know. Ever since his foray into the woods, Boyd has been struggling big time, both mentally and physically. The creepy crawlers won’t let up, and he’s slowly losing his grip on reality. As the de facto…

Roger Waters is under investigation by German police for “incitement of the people” after wearing a satirical, Nazi-style costume on stage in Berlin, Reuters reports. The outfit was based on the fictional fascist officer Pink, whom Bob Geldof played in Pink Floyd’s 1982 film The Wall, a satirical critique of a society’s descent into fascism. Though Waters’ outfit did not explicitly replicate Nazi uniforms, which are illegal in Germany, police said it was “capable of violating the dignity of the victims, as well as approving, glorifying or justifying the violent and arbitrary rule of the Nazi regime in a way…
