Part of a Swiss mountain’s summit has collapsed, sending more than 3.5 million cubic feet (100,000 cubic meters) of rock crashing into the valley below. The incident was likely a result of thawing permafrost — and scientists have warned similar events are to be expected as climate change causes ancient frozen ground to degrade.The incident occurred on June 11 after an extensive period of high temperatures in the country. Videos reveal the sudden collapse of Fluchthorn’s summit, an almost 11,155-foot (3,400 meters) mountain in the Silvretta Alps, on the border of Switzerland and Austria. “Half of the summit was torn…

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Outlander Season 7, Episode 3, “Death Be Not Proud.”] After Outlander‘s fiery cliffhanger at the end of Season 7’s second episode, “The Happiest Place on Earth,” fans finally learned the fates of Claire (Caitriona Balfe) and Jamie (Sam Heughan) and their Fraser’s Ridge settlers after Wendigo Donner (Brennan Martin) set the big house ablaze.

An Elegant Corpse by Helen A Harrison What’s it About? A finely crafted murder mystery set in the art world. Helen A. Harrison’s latest work is more than a finely crafted murder mystery; it’s also a bizarre lesson in art history, as are her three previous novels. Her characters are famous painters, writers, sculptors, collage artists, collectors, dealers and gallerists — but her stories are imaginary. She bends facts into fiction and creates enticing mysteries full of glamor, romance, jealousy, greed – and murder, of course. An Elegant Corpse has it all. On the very first page, we find the…
The smudge at the bottom of this simulated image is the remnant of a planet being eaten by its starSergei Nayakshin/Vardan Elbakyan, University of Leicester A planet about six times the mass of Jupiter has been in the process of being ripped apart, incinerated and devoured by its star for decades. This “extreme evaporation” process has been predicted to occur and may be common in young stars, but this is the first instance of astronomers being able to observe the phenomenon. A star called FU Orionis, which is about 1200 light years away, suddenly got hundreds … Read The Full Article…
Once you’ve done the band, then you want to measure the fullest part of your bust. Gently take the tape measure and measure it in inches as well.Then comes the slightly tricky bit: To work out what your cup size is, you want to subtract your band size from your bust size. From the difference between the two sizes, you can work out your cup. If the difference is less than 1, then it’s AA; 1 means A; 2 means B; 3 means C; 4 means D; 5 means DD; and so on.You’ll still need your band measurement to give…
Since the pandemic, Madison has noticed an uptick in high-net-worth individuals booking out entire expeditions. “One client bought a whole trip to climb Mount Vinson in Antarctica for $200,000 last year,” he says. “It’s the latest trend: billionaires wanting their own private adventure with friends; they fly to Antarctica in a private jet. It’s next-level.”Although his mountain expeditions are high-end, Madison says they come with minimum comfort. The greatest luxury he offers, he adds, is at Everest base camp: Warm showers, yoga sessions, and a dining tent with a movie screen are among the amenities on the $75,000 excursion. “The…

Cynthia Nixon, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Kristin Davis are all tempering expectations around Kim Cattrall’s much-hyped cameo in the current second season of And Just Like That… As Sex and the City fans well know, Cattrall was not invited to join AJLT, the HBO show’s Max revival, after she said she was done playing Samantha Jones and after her public falling-out with Parker. As Variety revealed last month, however, Cattrall did agree to a cameo in AJLT Season 2 at the request of HBO & Max CEO Casey Boys. Francois Durand/Getty Images The news came as a thrill to SATC…
At long last, a sandwich made with lab-grown chicken may be on the menu—at least if you live in the U.S. Last week the U.S. Department of Agriculture granted its first-ever approval of cell-cultured meat produced by two companies, GOOD Meat and UPSIDE Foods. Both grow small amounts of chicken cells into slabs of meat—no slaughter required. It was the final regulatory thumbs-up that the California-based companies needed in order to sell and serve their products in the U.S. The approval comes less than a year after the Food and Drug Administration declared the companies’ products safe to eat, and…

Steel Panther electrify America’s Got Talent in a clip of their audition for the 18th season of the Simon Cowell-led talent show that premieres Tuesday (May 30). Apparently, the Panther was let out of its cage a little early to tease the new season, as you can watch their performance below or wait for tonight’s airing. (We suggest you do both.)But what did the celebrity panel of AGT judges think of the band’s tongue-in-cheek metal?According to the video description, Steel Panther’s audition was a “hit” for the judges — Cowell, comedian Howie Mandel, model Heidi Klum and actress Sofía Vergara. But when watching the clip,…

“How did you two lovebirds meet?” “Oh, we were isolated in ‘pods’ and couldn’t see each other, but we talked and talked and got engaged and then we connected in person.” With that ripe-for-drama premise, Netflix’s Love Is Blindhas become a reality smash. Even when the reality dating show isn’t trying to be dramatic, it is. The Season 4 reunion was meant to be streamed live on Netflix on April 16, but technical issues led to nearly an hour-long delay. When the reunion finally commenced, the cast certainly kept the drama going. A solid handful of Love Is Blind couples…

We looked at outcomes and found radical innovation when directors had more diverse experience, helping to guide firms toward more cutting-edge exploration and success,” said Aurora Genin, assistant professor of management and entrepreneurship. In other words, corporate…

House of the Dragon episode 9 — out now on HBO Max and Disney+ Hotstar — isn’t the traditional penultimate episode that Game of Thrones had gotten us used to. There are no big set-pieces here (with that dragon at the end more a sign of things to come). And this new episode doesn’t wrap up any long-running storylines (which, on Game of Thrones, opened up the finale to set the table for the next season). In fact, it’s an extremely contained episode. Set during the two days immediately following the death of King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine), House of…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Irony has become a medium for the spread of toxic ideas online, a new analysis shows. The use of irony is growing in both contemporary politics and radical online communities because it helps people to make sense of and navigate major political and economic changes, researchers have said. Ideas, jokes, memes, images are emerging as an animating force for new social movements and are now inextricably intertwined with the rise of the alt-right. The study says examining irony can help understand how recent influential political coalitions, such as the Brexit campaign, are held together even though…
As we approach The Blacklist series finale, many questions have lingered, especially about how the show will end and what will happen to its most interesting character, Raymond Reddington. Ending a show as iconic as The Blacklist or deciding the fate of an epic character like Red is difficult. In almost all cases, there can never be a satisfactory ending. Viewers who watch The Blacklist online have begun picking up on the subtle hint that Red’s death might be the only way to end the show. Will Raymond Reddington die?

It’s a perfectly sunny day, with a clear blue sky. The pilot just announced that your flight has reached cruising altitude, so the seat belt sign has been turned off. Passengers are moving about the cabin. Suddenly the plane starts shaking. You instinctively grab the arm of your chair. Passengers who have stood up brace themselves. A baby starts crying. A minute later the alarm passes, your body relaxes, and you exhale deeply. Then the plane drops like a rock. Your stomach leaps into your throat. But there’s no storm outside, not even clouds. What’s going on? This clear-air turbulence,…

The chips were initially planned to be used only for iPhone models sold in the Chinese market.The US tech giant was considering eventually purchasing up to 40 percent of the chips needed for all iPhone models from YMTC, the newspaper saidThe…
The use of artificial intelligence in Hollywood is a hot-button topic, whether it’s the WGA demanding a ban on the use of AI bots during the current writers strike or recent criticism over Marvel using it to create the opening credits for Secret Invasion. Director Guillermo del Toro recently dismissed fears about AI at an informal sitdown in Portland over the weekend, saying we should instead be more concerned with “natural stupidity.” The sound bite comes from a chat with curator Amy Dotson at the Portland Art Museum in Oregon, during which the Pan’s Labyrinth mastermind shared his thoughts (via IndieWire) about the…
