Priyanka Chopra’s stylish press tour continues. After wearing a denim mermaid-style gown to the “Love Again” screening in New York City on May 4, the actor stepped out in her second look of the day for date night with husband Nick Jonas. Chopra changed into a pink cutout dress before heading to dinner at Sona, the Indian restaurant she co-owns. Made of a velvety material that caught the light as she walked the streets of Manhattan, her dress featured long sleeves, a twisted front, side and back cutouts, and a knotted skirt that created several more openings and strips of…

Microsoft is reportedly building an Xbox mobile application store, that will allow users to directly download and install games on mobile devices. The “next-generation” Xbox mobile store was first hinted at by the company in February this year, while announcing a set of “Open App Store Principles” that would apply to the Microsoft Store on Windows, and the yet-to-be-released marketplace for games. The principles were set up as part of a process of seeking regulatory approvals for Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion (roughly Rs. 5,67,600 crore) worth acquisition of Activision Blizzard, a deal which is currently under investigation by UK’s Competition…
When I was younger, I gazed at the stars at night and wondered how many possessed planets like Earth. Being a Star Trek nerd, I couldn’t help but imagine a universe where stars were fecund and planets were everywhere. But not knowing was agony. This story has a happy ending, though: Now we do know—the galaxy is filled with planets. Even better, this story also comes with a twist worthy of an eyebrow-raise from Mr. Spock (accompanied by a flatly intoned “Fascinating”): most planets orbiting distant stars—what we call exoplanets—do not circle around ones like the sun. Instead, the vast…
The roof of an Illinois concert venue collapsed in a heavy storm last night (March 31), killing an attendee of a metal show that was due to be headlined by Morbid Angel, The New York Times reports. Firefighters arrived at Belvidere’s Apollo Theater around 7:30 p.m. Central, scrambling through the wreckage to save the dozens hurt when the roof caved in after an early set by Brazilian death metal band Crypta. There were 260 people in the venue at the time of the collapse, 28 of whom were hospitalized, five with critical injuries.The venue’s front awning also collapsed, and an…
Since July of 2021, Netflix has maintained a site where anyone, subscriber and non-subscriber alike, can learn the service’s most popular films and shows in the United States and around the world. Updated each Tuesday, the site reveals the ten most-watched movies and shows in a given week, in English and other languages.Most of these titles are produced by Netflix itself, whose in-house programmers and executives have helped foster such film and TV hits as Stranger Things, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, Wednesday, The Irishman, Bridgerton, and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. But even now that Netflix routinely churns out dozens of hours of original content every…
The Illinois Senate has passed HB 2789, a bill whose terms dictate that state funding from public or school libraries that remove books from circulation will be withheld. As per the bill, the $62 million of funding that goes to the state’s libraries will only be eligible for said funding if they “adopt the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights” or “develop a written statement prohibiting the practice of banning books or other materials within the library or library system.“ Alexi Giannoulias, Illinois’s newly selected Secretary of State, first drafted the bill in response to the 67 book bans that were attempted…
David Arquette has had a remarkable career playing interesting and sometimes off-kilter characters in a range of films and TV shows. In his latest role in Peacock’s Mrs. Davis, he plays Monty, the magician father to Betty Gilpin’s globetrotting nun searching for the Holy Grail to end a God-like AI. It’s a perfect role for Arquette, who admits he has always loved magic. “To be able to play a magician opposite such incredible actors, such amazing writing and producing director, I don’t know. I just felt really honored to be able to play this character,” he shared with TV Fanatic…
A group of astrophotographers captured a breathtaking image of the recent “hybrid eclipse,” which was visible in the skies above Australia last week. The image mainly shows off the ghostly filaments of the sun’s corona, or outer atmosphere, but it also caught a faint glimpse of an eruption of magnetized plasma, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), exploding away from the sun. The rare eclipse, which occurred April 20, is known as a hybrid because it consisted of two separate eclipses occurring at the same time. These included a total solar eclipse — a fleeting yet complete occultation of the…
We can always count on Tracee Ellis Ross to take fashionable risks, and her outfit at the Amazon NewFronts event in New York City was no exception. On May 3, the actor dressed to impress in a pair of white Dries Van Noten pumps with a square leather toe that curved so that half of her foot remained exposed. “SHAPESHIFTER” she captioned an Instagram gallery showing off her look as she posed by a large windowsill to highlight her asymmetrical heels. Styled by Karla Welch, Ross wore the statement-making shoes with a structural JW Anderson jumpsuit so that her entire…
Delivery options: Two or four weeksOut of all the coffee subscriptions we’ve tried, Angel’s Cup has my favorite twist: blind taste testing. Every time a coffee arrives, it’s in an unmarked black bag. After you’ve decided whether you like a coffee or not, you can look it up in the Angel’s Cup app—that’s when you’ll find out what you’re drinking. It’s a good way to see what you really like without preconceived notions getting in the way.Angel’s Cup is more like a distance-learning coffee school than a box subscription service. WIRED senior reviewer Scott Gilbertson strongly recommends giving the Black…
AC/DC singer Brian Johnson has been honored with a sculpted likeness of his early AC/DC visage in Namur, Belgium. It’s the city where he played his first-ever show with the Australian rockers in 1980, after preceding the late frontman Bon Scott.The new Brian Johnson statue — the half-body sculpture appears like a cross between a bust and a full-size representation — was unveiled Sunday (April 16) after a local campaign spearheaded by the area broadcaster RTBF and several AC/DC fans in the region.See the statue in the video and photos below.READ MORE: Brian Johnson Releases Memoir About His LifeNamur is “a very special place for me,”…

Eating lots of fats increases the risk of metabolic disorders, but the mechanisms behind the problem have not been well understood. Now, University of California, Irvine biologists have made a key finding about how to ward off harmful effects caused by a high-fat diet. Their study appears in Nature Communications. The UC Irvine research centered on a protein complex called AMPK, which senses the body’s nutrition and takes action to keep it balanced. For example, if AMPK detects that glucose is low, it can boost lipid breakdown to produce energy in its place. Scientists have known that consuming high amounts…

Most couples might only experience a bit of tension leading up to the big…

Tesla’s advanced driver assistant software won’t gain regulatory approval in 2022, CEO Elon Musk said in remarks which indicate the company is not yet able to satisfy authorities that its cars can be driven without someone behind the wheel.The Silicon Valley automaker sells a $15,000 (roughly Rs. 12,45,000) software add-on called “Full Self-Driving” (FSD) which enables its vehicles to change lanes and park autonomously. That complements its standard “Autopilot” feature which enables cars to steer, accelerate and brake within their lanes without driver intervention.However, the cars still need to be driven with human oversight. A completely autonomous vehicle would require regulatory…
Ponderosa pine forests in the Sierra Nevada that were wiped out by western pine beetles during the 2012-2015 megadrought won’t recover to pre-drought densities, reducing an important storehouse for atmospheric carbon. “Forests store huge amounts of atmospheric carbon, so when western pine beetle infestations kill off millions of trees, that carbon dioxide goes back into the atmosphere,” said Zachary Robbins, a postdoctoral at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Robbins is corresponding author of a new paper published in the journal Frontiers in Environmental Science about carbon stored in living ponderosa pines in the Sierra Nevada of California. “We also found that…
For the first time since penning a lengthy statement about her decision, Feist has discussed her departure from Arcade Fire’s tour following allegations of sexual misconduct against frontman Win Butler. (Butler has maintained that all of the alleged interactions were consensual.) In a new interview with The Irish Times, Feist recounted what was running through her head while playing the first two tour dates as an opener, both of which were in Ireland.“I was having an out-of-body experience,” Feist said. “Not to mention, I had brought all of these new songs. I thought, ‘Okay, maybe I’ll go do this tour…
Even after The Mandalorian Season 3, it’s not entirely clear why the title character and his adopted son Grogu showed up on The Book of Boba Fett for several episodes — and pretty much took over the entire series for a little while to continue their own storylines from the end of The Mandalorian Season 2.The Book of Boba Fett star Temuera Morrison still sounds a little befuddled (and maybe even annoyed) about the whole situation himself. At SUPANOVA Comic Con & Gaming convention in Australia, he joked (?) about how the Mandalorian “stole” part of The Book of Boba Fett, which in his words was “painful” to watch.Here’s…

photographyfirm/Shutterstock IN MOST parts of the world, earthworms are seen as the gardener’s friend because of the many ways they improve the soil. Worms feed on decaying organic matter and their faeces contain soil nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, in forms that are easier for plants to take up. Their tunnels also improve drainage and give a lighter, more airy structure to soil. Ecologists may use the number of worms in a patch of earth as an indicator of whether soil has a good pH, sufficient organic matter and isn’t too compacted. Gauging this in a standardised way…
Photography courtesy of Pomellato The ancient Japanese technique has been used to mend broken pottery for centuries. Now, at a time when sustainability is more important than perfection, it’s found a place in the jewellery industry. By Clara Young Date March 24, 2023 I’ve lost the ability to throw anything away. It’s not because I’m a hoarder. It’s because I can no longer toss out broken bowls and unravelling sweaters with the prelapsarian abandon of yore. So, down into the basement they go until I figure out how to repair them. RELATED: 8 Things To Know Before Buying a Watch…
“There’s no such thing as a good landlord” is a rallying cry of angry renters. In the future, it might be conventional morality that it’s simply wrong to own land.In our times, owning land seems as natural as owning cars or houses. And this makes sense: The general presumption is that you can privately own anything, with rare exceptions for items such as dangerous weapons or archaeological artifacts. The idea of controlling territory, specifically, has a long tenure. Animals, warlords, and governments all do it, and the modern conception of “fee simple”—that is, unrestricted, perpetual, and private—land ownership has existed…
Rosalía closed the North and South American legs of her Motomami tour on Friday (April 28) with a free concert in Mexico City’s Zócalo, and the moment was so emotional for the Spanish superstar that she couldn’t hold back the tears. “Mexico, I want you to know that I’m very grateful for the love you have given me since the beginning of my career. And I want you to know that there has been a lot of inspiration for many years; I studied songs like ‘La Llorona’. Let’s see if I get the tone”, said the singer in front of…

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain A team of paleontologists, environmentalists, naturalists and biologists affiliated with a number of institutions in Canada and Argentina has found that guano piles left behind by generations of Andean condors over thousands of years can provide clues about long-term changing environmental conditions. In their paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group describes their difficulties in accessing the guano pile and how they studied its contents. As climate change progresses, scientists around the world continue to study potential impacts of ongoing climate change. One way they do so is by studying…
