British supermarkets are imposing limits on how many salad staples shoppers can buy as supply shortages leave shelves empty of some types of fruit and vegetables. The disappearance of fresh produce is said to be largely the result of adverse weather leading to a reduced harvest in southern Europe and North Africa. Freezing temperatures caused tomato production in the southern Spanish region of Almeria to drop 22% during the first few weeks of February compared to the same period in 2022. Extra bureaucracy associated with Brexit and skyrocketing energy prices are also likely to have exacerbated the severity of the…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write In My Life? In My Life is loosely based on a true crime that hit a close knit family, resulting in tragedy and sending shock waves through the community. I used the real story to give my fictional characters a plot that readers would be completely engrossed in learning who the killer was. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of In My Life, what would they be? In My Life by the Beatles. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as…
A brain organoid viewed with a scanning electron microscopeSTEVE GSCHMEISSNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Balls of human brain cells grown in a dish, known as organoids, have been linked to computers and used to solve mathematical equations. The work is an early step towards using living brain tissue as a form of artificial intelligence, but this goal may raise ethical questions in the future, researchers say. In a paper posted online before peer review, Feng Guo at Indiana University Bloomington and his colleagues say they have created “living AI hardware that harnesses the computation power … Read The Full Article Here
Caroline Manzo is speaking out for the first time about exiting The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip before filming wrapped. Earlier this year, it was reported that her co-star, Brandi Glanville, had been removed from the series over unwanted kisses. At the time, it was also revealed that Manzo had departed the series of her own volition following the incident. “I can’t say much, only because it’s not good for my headspace, but it took a lot for me to go back [on a Housewives show],” Manzo said on New York Live while promoting her Food, Love, and Chaos cooking…
15 travel-perfect products to stash in your carry-on. By Lauren Knowles Date March 20, 2023 Since we entered the month of March, all we can seem to think about is jetting off to the tropics — and indulging in a little spring break beauty retail therapy in preparation, of course. When taking trips around this time of year, it feels necessary to refresh our makeup kits with sun-kissed shades and SPF-packed products — so long as they’re travel-proof. RELATED: How To Hack Your Way to Good Hair Days Frequent flyers will know that packing beauty items for a sunny escape…
At first glance, the Silicon Valley Bank debacle seems to be a cut-and-dried financial caper. The executives running the 16th-largest bank in the US made the wrong choices in handling what seemed a fortuitous situation—a roster of clients, flush with venture capital funding, handing over billions of dollars of cash for storage in the institution’s coffers. But the bank’s leaders misjudged the risks of higher interest rates and inflation. Pair that with a mini tech downturn, and the bank’s spreadsheets began turning colors. When word of its perilous situation got out, panicky depositors pulled their money. After a government takeover, everyone’s…

Books & Looks: Real Books for Real Readers was started as a podcast to supplement Blaine Desantis’ website, ViewsOnBooks.com, and expand into audio interviews with authors. With Books & Looks, Blaine’s goal is to focus on real books that real people will read. At least half of the books he reviews are either new authors or unknown authors that many in the general public are unaware of. After a segment reviewing books or interviewing authors, Blaine ends each episode with a discussion of the movies and TV shows he is currently watching. This Week’s Episode Today I interview author Mark Shrager about his…
Glimpsed only occasionally at the hearts of massive clusters of galaxies, ultramassive black holes are some of the largest and most elusive objects in the universe. These black hole behemoths have masses exceeding that of 10 billion suns, making them far more monstrous than even the supermassive black holes found at the centers of galaxies like the Milky Way, and their tremendous size has long perplexed astronomers. Now, researchers studying a rare galaxy merger with three supermassive black holes at its center may have finally discovered the origins of these cosmic monsters. Using a high-resolution cosmological simulation called ASTRID, the team modeled…
When Matthew Rhys signed to play the titular role on HBO‘s Perry Mason as he evolved from a struggling gumshoe to a newly minted defense attorney, he thought it would be one season and done. “Then they came in with a strong idea for a second season and I was very open to it,” the Emmy-winning actor (The Americans) says. “When the first season ended, all in the garden seemed rosy; Della Street (Julia Rylance) was [my partner], Paul Drake (Chris Chalk) was in the firm and it was the three musketeers. But I had no interest in suddenly Perry…

By Bernadette Morra Date March 20, 2023 When FASHION embarked on a search for Canada’s Most Stylish Thrifter, we had no idea of what might unfold. Would any “serious fashion people” apply? Would all the submissions come from big cities? And from influencers looking to boost their followers? We knew what we wanted: a true thrifting devotee. Not someone who…
The Monitor is a weekly column devoted to everything happening in the WIRED world of culture, from movies to memes, TV to Twitter.The Last of Us is bumming everyone out. Mostly because the HBO series’ juggernaut first season ended on Sunday, beginning the long arduous wait for a second season. But also because The Last of Us is really freaking sad. The series began with a man watching his daughter die, and ended with him shooting his way through a makeshift hospital to ensure another kid didn’t meet a similar fate. In between, everyone died or killed (or ate) someone, and short of…

For the second straight week, Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania ruled the weekend box office chart, grossing $32.2 million and bringing its ten-day domestic total to a little over $167 million. But that’s pretty much where the good news ends for Marvel, as the film’s weekend-to-weekend drop was 69.7 percent — which represents a record worst second-weekend decline for any Marvel Cinematic Universe movie in history. (The previous worst drop in MCU history was Thor: Love and Thunder’s 67.7 percent just last year.)There are a few potential reasons for the film’s extreme decline. While Quantumania opened strongly last weekend — and in fact had the…
New developments for achieving structural coloring through plasma irradiation of graphite can reduce the reliance upon harmful color dyes. Colors achieved by plasma irradiation are completely erasable and can be manipulated using time exposed to the plasma irradiation, intensity of the irradiation and the thickness of the graphite layer applied. The application of plasma-structural coloring aims to lessen the environmental toll typical adverse dyes have and combat them with the technology surrounding structural colors. Structural colors look different than how we perceive colors dyed by pigment, because structural colors are based on viewing how the light scatters when reflected, giving…
There are a lot of suspicions that during this era of book bans, we’ll begin to see a different output of material from publishers. They may pull back on queer books and/or books by people of color, those books which approach “sensitive” topics like sex and sexuality, and even graphic novels. Unfortunately, because of how publishing works years in advance, we won’t be able to see how this plays out for another year or two. But there is another element of the publishing ecosystem worth reaching to see if they have seen changes: literary agents. For those who are not…
Bobby was never going to give up on Wendall. If there were one major takeaway from 9-1-1 Season 6 Episode 12, it would be that even in death, Bobby owed Wendall so much, and he’d be damned if he didn’t do everything he could to take down the people who hurt Wendall. And through a series of flashbacks, we got to see their relationship develop and find out just what happened to Wendall on the day he died. The sponsor and sponsee relationship is built on a sense of community and understanding. A sponsee has to trust that their sponsor…
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Sacrificial dilemmas are popular among philosophers. Should you divert a train from five people strapped to the tracks to a side-track with only one person strapped to it? What if that one person were a renowned cancer researcher? What if there were only a 70% chance the five people would die? These questions sound like they have nothing to do with a government budget. These annual events are, after all, conveyed as an endeavor in accounting. They are a chance to show anticipated tax revenues and propose public spending. We are told the name of the…
Photography courtesy of launchmetrics.com/spotlight Throughout the pandemic, surrealist aesthetics emerged as the new norm. But now, there’s a growing appetite for familiarity. By Natalie Michie Date March 21, 2023 In recent years, fashion has been doing the absolute most. Pattern clashing, exaggerated silhouettes and fantastical runway stunts became a welcome sartorial escape from the bleakness of day-to-day pandemic life — and no designer is more synonymous with this grandiosity than Jeremy Scott. Since 2013, Moschino’s creative director delivered a signature campy, kitschy, cartoonish approach to fashion. More than anything, he found the humour in clothes at times when the world…
Not only are the Beats Fit Pro (9/10, WIRED Recommends) one of the best workout buds for Apple users, they’re one of the best everyday buds, period. They have squishy ear tips and elegant fins (that may be a little big for smaller ears, unfortunately). They have the Apple H1 chip and pair seamlessly with Apple products, but they also have a great app for Android that includes one-touch pairing, customized controls, and a fit test.The noise-canceling works extremely well, and you can click on a physical button on the buds to pause and let ambient noise in. The sound…

Arnold Schwarzenegger hasn’t had a (live-action) role since 2019, when he played the Terminator yet again in Terminator: Dark Fate. (My kids were big fans of Superhero Kindergarten, though, so there was that.) And he’s never starred in a scripted TV series before. But that all changes in a few months when Schwarzenegger headlines Netflix’s summer series FUBAR, a big action comedy show from creator Nick Santora (Reacher, The Fugitive).Netflix had previously announced the show but today they revealed its premiere date: May 25. They also unveiled a short first teaser for the show, which features Schwarzenegger getting hit in the balls by Fortune Feimster.…
Every Other Weekend: Coming of Age with Two Different Dads by Anthony J. Mohr “Cry it out, Tony. You’ll feel better.” It was what author Anthony Mohr’s father said to him after escorting his young son back to take on a school bully, from whom he had already run away. “Cry it out, Tony.” Touching words from a father, you say? Actually, it was a line that Gerald, an established radio personality and later a bit TV actor, borrowed from one of his roles, yet he delivered it with such perfection to Tony that it seemed more sincere than scripted.…
An artist’s illustration of what Patagorhynchus pascuali probably looked like in life. (Image credit: Courtesy of Fernando Novas)Around 70 million years ago, a small, furry, platypus-like creature shuffled along the banks of an ancient lake. This would not have been a remarkable occurrence, except for one thing: The lake was in present-day Argentina, not Australia.The creature, dubbed Patagorhynchus pascuali, is the oldest fossil of the egg-laying mammal group known as monotremes ever discovered in South America. The discovery may rewrite the story of where these oddball early mammals evolved. Today, all five species of living monotremes — which include the…

Google India was granted relief on Friday as the Income Tax Appellate Authority (ITAT) said the payments made by the company to Google Ireland between 2007-08 and 2012-13 were not royalties and were hence not subject to withholding tax. The Bengaluru-bench of the ITAT passed the ruling after re-examining the matter on the orders of the Karnataka High Court. The case relates to whether payments totalling Rs 1,457 crore made by Google India to Google Ireland is a royalty and whether the tax was to be withheld in India.The ITAT in its earlier order in 2018 had held that Google…
