Honesty is always the best policy, but what soap opera could survive if its characters realized that? Several truth bombs hit Salem on Days of Our Lives during the week of 1-16-23, effectively ending blackmail schemes but leaving plenty of problems in their wake. Among the best news: Brady actually disciplined his bratty daughter. He wasn’t forceful enough, but at least he tried to impress on her that she doesn’t get to talk to Chloe any way she feels like. If Brady had been honest with Rachel long ago, it would have prevented so many problems. It’s nice that he…

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and DOE’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) today announced the achievement of fusion ignition at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) — a major scientific breakthrough decades in the making that will pave the way for advancements in national defense and the future of clean power. On Dec. 5, a team at LLNL’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach this milestone, also known as scientific energy breakeven, meaning it produced more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it. This first-of-its-kind feat will provide…
Photography by Getty Images Not a red beret in sight! By Annika Lautens Date December 14, 2022 If you’ve been feeling like your life is missing a serious serving of red berets, pastel tulle and kaleidoscopic patterns, fear not — Emily in Paris season 3 is due to hit Netflix on December 21. As seen in the trailer, the new instalment of the highly anticipated series promises more love, more drama and more over-the-top costumes (three words: zebra shoulder pads).

Martin Duffy, the Felt keyboardist who went on to play with Primal Scream, the Charlatans, and many more UK groups, has died, BBC News reports, citing tweets by the Charlatans’ Tim Burgess and Duffy’s brother, the BBC journalist Steve Duffy. He had injured his brain in a fall and died peacefully surrounded by family, his brother said. Duffy was 55.Raised in Birmingham, Duffy joined the cult indie-pop band Felt in 1985, and his playful organs became integral to their jangly sound, particularly on the 1986 classic Forever Breathes the Lonely Word, which featured a plaintive Duffy staring out from the…
The YouTube video title bills it as “The Biggest Stunt in Cinema History.” I don’t know if that’s true. Probably a historian of stunt work can fact-check that.

Over … and over … and over.This nine-minute featurette below essentially shows the entire process behind this absurd endeavor from concept to execution as part of the production of the upcoming Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One. Cruise claims he’s been working on the stunt for years, and wanted…

For 900 years, a corroded medieval pendant discovered in a trash heap in Germany has been hiding a religious treasure: tiny fragments of bone, possibly from the body of a saint, a new study has found. And further studies might reveal which saint it was.Such medieval “reliquaries” — containers or shrines for the bones or other relics of saints — often contain a strip of parchment or paper with the saint’s name — known as an “authentic” or “cedula.”But the researchers have yet to find one, study first author Matthias Heinzel (opens in new tab), a restorer at the Leibniz…

Mathematicians wanted to better understand these numbers that so closely resemble the most fundamental objects in number theory, the primes. It turned out that in 1899—a decade before Carmichael’s result—another mathematician, Alwin Korselt, had come up with an equivalent definition. He simply hadn’t known if there were any numbers that fit the bill.According to Korselt’s criterion, a number N is a Carmichael number if and only if it satisfies three properties. First, it must have more than one prime factor. Second, no prime factor can repeat. And third, for every prime p that divides N, p – 1 also divides…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Crossroads Bargain? I’ve always loved gothic horror and fairytales; monsters, witches, curses, dark themes and otherworldly events find their way into most of my work. This story came to me out of nowhere and got a foothold before I could put it on the back burner. It’s old-world, balanced on the edge of the veil, and told from the point of view of a tormented soul who’s not quite here. It’s like one of those old George MacDonald fairytales where you’re shifting back and forth between the worlds…

They’re always the hardest-working item in our wardrobes come autumn, so it’s little wonder all we can think about right now is boots. However, with a plethora new styles out there—think buckle boots, cowboy and the It pair favoured by British women, to name a few—there are almost too many options to choose from. So instead, we’re cancelling out the noise (just for a second) to focus our energy on a time-honoured classic: Chelsea boots.Chelsea boots have morphed into a perennial fallback.

The cryptocurrency industry said on Wednesday it was disappointed with Australia’s decision to continue treating digital currencies as assets for tax purposes, and not as foreign currency.The government said in its budget announcement on Tuesday it would introduce legislation to enshrine the treatment of digital currencies such as Bitcoin as an asset.This means investors would pay capital gains tax on profit from selling crypto assets through exchanges and when they trade digital assets.The legislation removes uncertainty following the decision by El Salvador to adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September last year, the Australian government said in its budget announcement.Australia…
While streaming has become a prevalent way to access music, it appears that an increasing problem is popping up with fraudulent music streams now cutting into the loyalty money for legitimate artists. The streaming woe was brought to light thanks to new data from France’s Centre National de Musique, which suggests that at least 1 percent to 3 percent of the music streams in the country are actually fraudulent.By fraudulent, that means that these are streams that are generated and often paid for by stream farms and other “bad actors” in a bid to siphon off royalty monies from the…
