Just because the three women at the center of The Wedding Veil Trilogy movies are now married doesn’t mean there isn’t still magic to be found when each is in possession of the veil. In the third film of the second trilogy, The Wedding Veil Journey, Tracy (Alison Sweeney) is the one once again in possession of it, this time as she and Nick (Victor Webster) finally go on their honeymoon — in Greece! Tracy’s best friends Avery (Lacey Chabert) and Emma (Autumn Reeser), of course, have roles to play. Sweeney previews the latest Wedding Veil movie and shares if…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Celestial Academy: Essence? I was watching Breaking Bad, and it occurred to me—what if there were a reality behind the street name of drugs? What if Angel Dust actually came from Angels? And what if there was only one young woman in existence who can see and collect Angel Essence, and turn it into a drug? A drug that is the most addictive and sought after one in the world, that all humans and demons go crazy for? And from then on, Wen White was born, and the literal…
As an editor at Who What Wear, I typically spend a lot of time looking at new-in products, so I thought it would be handy to have this regularly updated article where I’m able share with you the very best pieces I come across and the shopping picks I’m personally adding to my wish list. This week it’s all about elevated winter staples, but as the new year gets under way I can’t help but consider how these pieces will also translate into spring too (it’s coming—I promise). This seems to be materialising as an obsession with winter whites (that will easily convert to spring…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain An international team of scientists, including NYU Abu Dhabi researcher Nikolaos Georgakarakos and others from the U.S., Japan, and China, led by Jian Li from Nanjing University, has developed new insights that may explain the numerical asymmetry of the L4 and L5 Jupiter Trojan swarms, two clusters containing more than 10,000 asteroids that move along Jupiter’s orbital path around the sun. For decades, scientists have known that there are significantly more asteroids in the L4 swarm than the L5 swarm, but have not fully understood the reason for this asymmetry. In the current configuration of the…
Danny’s done many favors for fellow cops, so who expected his friendship with Acosta to turn into a date? On Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 11, it seemed like Danny was helping Acosta out because he felt guilty that she got hurt while covering for him after Linda’s death. That’s typical Danny. Deciding to ask her out on a date — after Sunday evening dinner, no less — wasn’t. Blue Blood fans have debated Danny’s potential love life since Linda’s death. Some fans ship Danny/Baez, while others think that’s a terrible idea and would rather Danny date Maggie, the psychic…
Scientist Leona Zacharias was a rare woman. She graduated from Barnard College in 1927 with a bachelor’s degree in biology, followed by a Ph.D. from Columbia University. But throughout her career, she labored behind men with loftier titles who got the bulk of the credit. In the 1940s, when premature newborns were going blind after being born with perfectly healthy eyes, Zacharias was part of the team that worked to root out the cause. In this inaugural episode of Lost Women of Science Shorts, host Katie Hafner visits the archives at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Eye and Ear in Boston to try…
Photography Getty Images Pantyhose, it’s straight-up pantyhose. By Jennifer Berry Date December 13, 2022 It started at the Met Gala. There she was, one Hailey Rhode Bieber, draped in lush white silk and fur and…wait, are those black super-sheer pantyhose? With strappy sandals?! Yes, indeed, Mrs. Bieber complemented her Bianca Jagger moment with a pair of hose that could have come from the pharmacy in a little egg-shaped container (IYKYK). That styling choice, however novel it seemed at the time, quietly confirmed what had been obvious for some time: opaque black tights have gone into retirement. Photography by Getty Images…

Justin O’Donnell by Failed States A grim, fast-paced speculative thriller in the vein of Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. It is a tale that deals with political, religious, and violent themes ranging from cannibalism to abortion, while calling into question the fundamental clash between security and liberty. In an America on the edge of extinction, Thomas La Stella serves as a Deportation Force officer. Tom is old enough to remember America before Dayton Day, the attack that finally brought the country to its knees and the earth towards its death. Still fighting for hope, Tom clings to his pregnant wife and…
Peacock is reworking its slate, and it’s bad news for fans of YA dramas Vampire Academy and One of Us Is Lying. Deadline reported Friday night that both series had been canceled after their most recent runs on the streaming service. Vampire Academy came from Julie Plec (The Vampire Diaries) and was expected to be a big hit for the service, but Deadline notes that the numbers didn’t justify a second season. “St. Vladmir’s Academy isn’t just any boarding school — it’s a hidden place where vampire royals are educated and half-human teens train to protect them from the savage…
To stay cool in searing temperatures, the prickly echidna, an egg-laying mammal that lives Down Under, employs a somewhat unusual trick: It blows snot bubbles to keep its nose wet, a new study finds. “Early lab studies suggested that echidnas can’t survive in temperatures hotter than 35 degrees [Celsius, or 95 degrees Fahrenheit],” said study first author Christine Cooper (opens in new tab), a researcher in the School of Molecular and Life Sciences at Curtin University in Australia. But short-beaked echidnas (Tachyglossus aculeatus) are found all over Australia in places that regularly exceed this threshold, which implies that the spiny monotreme…
If three of your favorite F-words are fun, French, and fashion, then you’re probably already counting down the days until the season-three premiere of Emily in Paris—only 12 remain until Lily Collins and the amiable albeit occasionally aloof cast of characters magically appear on Netflix on December 21.Creator Darren Star has a flair for the dramatic, so while we’re not sure what that means for Emily’s relationship and career, we’re pleased to see that the costumes continue to be next-level. Marylin Fitoussi remains at the helm of the costume-and-wardrobe department, delighting viewers with Emily’s occasionally avant-garde (or perhaps just overly American) style, showcasing vibrant colors…
South Korean computer chipmaker SK Hynix said Wednesday it might be forced to sell its manufacturing operations in China if a US crackdown on exports of semiconductor technology and manufacturing equipment to China intensifies.SK Hynix’s chief marketing officer, Kevin Noh, raised those concerns during a conference call on Wednesday after the company reported its operating profit dropped 60 percent in the last quarter from 2021, a decline it blamed on a deteriorating business environment.Global inflation amplified by Russia’s war on Ukraine and rising interest rates imposed by central banks to counter surging prices have slowed consumer spending on the kinds of…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Smoke and Mirrors? I began musing about writing a supernatural mystery series before I had heard of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series. After reading that and a few other urban fantasy novels, I realized that this was a genre that captivated me, but also that much of the literature on the market operated around the premise that the supernatural element was a secret in society at large, and that you as the reader were given entry into a hidden society through the book. I wanted to flip that…
Spiral galaxies represent one of the most spectacular features in our universe. Among them, spiral galaxies in the distant universe contain significant information about their origin and evolution. However, we have had a limited understanding of these galaxies due to them being too distant to study in detail. “While these galaxies were already detected among the previous observations using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, their limited spatial resolution and/or sensitivity did not allow us to study their detailed shapes and properties,” explains Junior Researcher Yoshinobu Fudamoto from Waseda University in Japan, who has been researching galaxies’ evolution.…
“Do you have one more fight in you?” That’s the question William Zabka‘s Johnny Lawrence asks in the newly released Season 6 announcement for Netflix‘s Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai. Surely fans have more than one fight left in them, but Cobra Kai is hanging up its karate belt after its forthcoming sixth and final season which is set to be its “biggest” and “baddest” to date. Set over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament from The Karate Kid, Cobra Kai sees the continuation of Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny’s conflict as…
[]People who experience generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) exhibit excessive concern about multiple events or activities most days of the week. While it is not unusual for people to experience some stress as they go about their daily lives, GAD sufferers rarely get a break from their anxiety.[]Although some of the symptoms and reactions may be similar to those of a phobia (an extreme, irrational fear), GAD is not a direct response to a specific situation or experience. Sufferers experience unease that casts a shadow over all of their activities.[]While not nearly as intense as a panic attack, the unease lasts…

In his 2019 Stanford address, Tim Cook warned about the threat to our “freedom to be human” from technology that looks to get inside our heads and rearrange the furniture. His “freedom to be human” is, essentially, our fundamental right to freedom of thought—an absolute right that has been mostly overlooked until now. The importance of Tim Cook’s speech was the recognition that Silicon Valley itself could never have come into existence in the current climate. Technology that undermines freedom of thought ultimately undermines innovation, and that is not good for anyone.This will be the year we take back control…

From all appearances, The Flash was meant to be the first chapter of a totally new phase of the DC Comics movie universe. It was going to reintroduce Michael Keaton as the classic movie Batman, and seemingly would have reconfigured DC continuity through the use of time travel and alternate timelines. (The film is based on a comics storyline called “Flashpoint,” where a character travels into the past and totally rewrites DC history.) The movie would have then led into future DC cinematic installments like a Batgirl movie that was also to co-star Keaton’s Batman.But you know what they say: Man plans, God laughs. Or, in…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write City Light, Starry Nights? Small town romance is a genre I happen to love. Since I live in small town, I guess it’s appropriate. Most of my catalog falls under sports romance, so I wanted to start a new “clean and wholesome” pen name with small towns. My brain raced with the ideas for this story, but it also rejected the idea of “clean and wholesome.” What came out was my spiciest book to date. What’s your favorite genre to read?
