Heidi Klum brought the sunshine to the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. At the May 24 premiere of “The Pot-au-Feu,” Klum shone bright in a yellow Zuhair Murad gown with strips of fabric creating cutouts along her sides, chest, and stomach. The dress also featured a soaring thigh-high leg slit and sparkly embellishments on her shoulders. Klum further emphasized the outfit’s flowy nature by throwing her arms up in the air and sending her floor-length sleeves flying. With such an impressive wingspan, Klum was virtually impossible to miss on the red carpet. Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, Klum completed…

When friends of mine sent a video of their little robotic mower bumping along a long flat lawn, I was skeptical. How could a device the size of a small tire mow a large lawn? Well, Husqvarna makes mowers that can, pretty accurately, and have been for years. While the robot won’t be able to edge succinctly like a weed whacker, you’ll still get well-groomed grass for very little effort. It chops the blades and mulches to save you the work of constantly emptying a storage container.The limitations involve installing a wire pinned to the lawn’s entire perimeter. Also, automowers are less…

Editor’s Note (5/3/23): The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved GSK’s respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine for adults age 60 and older—the first approved vaccine for this disease. The road to its development was long and bumpy but ultimately successful, as detailed in this story published on March 20. Megan Smith was especially conscious of the threat COVID posed to her six-week-old daughter in October 2021. The now 36-year-old from Buffalo, N.Y., was “doing everything we could to protect her,” Smith says. Ultimately, though, it wasn’t COVID that sent her baby to the hospital but a more mundane virus…

Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Kyley Warren Keeping up with TikTok’s ever-evolving rolodex of fashion trends and aesthetics can honestly feel like a full-time job in itself. Every week, it seems like there’s a new style or pop-culture-inspired look that’s dominating the conversation — and, more often than not, my feed. While I usually try to avoid getting too caught up in the platform’s sea of style trends, I was baited in all too easily with last year’s coastal-grandma aesthetic (aka my full-time outfit inspiration) and have once again felt lured into trying this year’s hottest fad: the coastal-cowgirl aesthetic.…
Kanye West, Hollywood’s controversial rapper and designer, seems to be getting inclined towards Bitcoin after JP Morgan recently cut him off as a customer for passing remarks, insensitive to certain communities. The 45-year-old artist has since been spotted wearing merchandise with the name of Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of Bitcoin. These images have stirred rumours that West is gearing up to consider cryptocurrencies as his choice of fintech due to their decentralised and largely unregulated nature.Images of West in Satoshi-branded clothes have emerged on social media.These images have surfaced right after the rapper dissed JP Morgan in a podcast…

In the first known case of its kind, a man in Michigan developed recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in both legs after reportedly being bitten by a brown recluse spider.Previously, “no case of deep vein thrombosis has been reported following a brown recluse spider bite,” according to a new report of the unusual case, published in April in the journal Clinical Case Reports.Brown recluse spiders (Loxosceles reclusa) aren’t typically found in Michigan. However, rare, isolated populations have sometimes been identified in the state, and some studies suggest that the arachnids might spread northward from their native range as the planet…
Anti-censorship advocates and activists have shouted from the rooftops that it is essential to vote. That it is essential to show up to school and library board meetings and speak up about/write those who sit on those boards against book bans and censorship. Advocates and activists have been on the front lines in their respective state legislatures and, where possible, on the national level. But where and how do we move from advocating against draconian legislation and shift into preparing for those bills to be passed? And when and where do those living under such laws make the decisions that…
The Pitch: Once upon a time, in a faraway ocean kingdom, a young mermaid developed an unhealthy obsession with a guy suffering from the affliction of being human. So she decided that the best course of action was to make a binding legal contract with an evil sea witch (who also happens to be her aunt now?) for the chance to woo said guy as a human herself. Great plan, Ariel. No notes. But that’s The Little Mermaid for you, a copy of a copy of the classic Hans Christian Anderson story, first reimagined in 1989 by writer/directors John Musker…

The spiral galaxy M99, imaged by the Hubble Space TelescopeESA/Hubble & NASA, M. Kasliwal Many large galaxies were long thought to be missing a huge proportion of matter – but it has now been found, and that is an even bigger problem for our understanding of the universe. Observations over the course of the last decade or so have shown that galaxies about the size of the Milky Way appear to have far less baryonic matter – meaning normal matter, not dark matter – than we expect. This expectation is based on the ratio of dark … Read The Full…
All we can do is guess about what lands Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) behind bars in the NCIS Season 20 finale on May 22. We want to say he’s undercover, but as executive producer Steven D. Binder told us, “We don’t necessarily know what shape Torres in prison will take. [He] can be a little hotheaded and do things that aren’t necessarily appropriate for an agent that have consequences.” We do know that he finds himself in prison while the team is trying to stop an impending terror attack on U.S. soil in “Black Sky.” And in addition to the first…
Spring is so close we can practically smell the flowers blooming. And while we love the opportunity to wrap up in winter and throw on our favourite scarves and warm coats, there’s just something inexplicably exciting about being able to shed those layers again once springtime comes around. Not to mention that footwear options increase exponentially when you have the ability to wear flats again without the risk of hypothermia.With the changing of the seasons just days away, we are in full research mode, scouring the internet for outfit ideas we’d like to try and emulate once the weather permits. Luckily,…
Steven Adair wasn’t too rattled at first.It was late 2019, and Adair, the president of the security firm Volexity, was investigating a digital security breach at an American think tank. The intrusion was nothing special. Adair figured he and his team would rout the attackers quickly and be done with the case—until they noticed something strange. A second group of hackers was active in the think tank’s network. They were going after email, making copies and sending them to an outside server. These intruders were much more skilled, and they were returning to the network several times a week to…
The new treaty will help to conserve wildlife in the high seas, such as the silky sharkSamuel J Coe/Moment RF/Getty Images After a decade of negotiations and a final two-week marathon of round-the-clock talks, countries around the world have agreed a new treaty to protect the world’s high seas. The agreement, struck late on 4 March in New York, establishes a legal framework that will finally allow countries to designate international waters as protected areas for marine life, if agreed by consensus. But although campaigners welcomed the news as a “historic day for conservation”, they warned it marked only the…

It is a surprising trajectory for us to be welcomed into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 1991 four people in Los Angeles formed a musical group to stand where sound and and solidarity intersect. We called ourselves Rage Against the Machine.A band who is as well known for our albums as we are for our fierce opposition to the US war machine, white supremacy and exploitationA band whose songs drove alternative radio to new heights while right wing media companies tried to purge every song we ever wrote from the airwavesA band who shut down the NY…
Tina Turner, the powerhouse singer, incendiary live performer and honorary “Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,” died Wednesday at age 83.The singer’s family confirmed the news in a statement. “Tina Turner, the ‘Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll,’ has died peacefully today at the age of 83 after a long illness in her home in Kusnacht near Zurich, Switzerland,” they said. “With her, the world loses a music legend and a role model.”Born Anna Mae Bullock on Nov. 26, 1939, in Brownsville, Tennessee, Turner launched her illustrious, six-plus-decade career in 1957 when she started performing with Ike Turner’s Kings of Rhythm.

Before The Blacklist wraps its impressive 10-season run on NBC, it will move to a new night and time. NBC announced Thursday that the low-rated drama would leave its Sundays at 10 p.m. slot behind, effective immediately. Beginning June 1, the James Spader-led procedural will air on Thursdays at 8 p.m. A special episode will air that night at 9 p.m. to celebrate the big move, before the show settles into its 8 p.m. slot for the rest of the season.

While the unexpected news of Tina Turner’s passing immediately evokes thoughts of her impeccable music career, birthing such legendary anthems as “What’s Love Got to Do With It?” and “Proud Mary,” we’d be remiss to glance over her iconic style. Throughout her almost-seven-decade-long career, the Queen of Rock ‘n’ Roll proved her sartorial supremacy as she appeared in tons of showstopping ensembles that matched her mesmerizing performances. Formfitting gowns with scoop necklines helped to define Turner’s early days with the Ike & Tina Turner Revue, but she quickly graduated to skin-baring silhouettes, especially naked dresses. During her partnership with designer…
The ovary is a time machine. It travels to the future, reaching old age ahead of the rest of the body. At birth, each ovary contains around a million follicles—tiny, fluid-filled sacs that hold immature eggs. But the decline of these follicles is immediate and unceasing. By puberty, only about 300,000 remain. By age 40, the vast majority are gone. And by 51, the average age of menopause in the United States, virtually none are left. Humans are an oddity in this regard. Most mammals remain fertile up to the end of their lives; the only species known to experience menopause…
By analyzing poop from biblical-era toilets in Jerusalem, archaeologists have discovered the oldest known evidence of a tiny parasite that causes “traveler’s diarrhea,” a new study finds.This microscopic parasite, the protozoan Giardia duodenalis, can cause dysentery, an intestinal infection that results in severe, bloody diarrhea and is often accompanied by stomach cramps and a fever. The new research, published May 26 in the journal Parasitology, dates the oldest evidence of this protozoan in human feces to more than 2,500 years ago.The researchers discovered evidence of G. duodenalis under stone toilet seats previously found at two large sites that were likely…
Strong Claims vs. Banned Books: PEN America, an organization stands at the intersection of literature and human rights to protect free expression in the United States and worldwide, is collaborating with Penguin Random House, authors George M. Johnson and Ashley Hope Perez and engaged parents in a pivotal federal lawsuit to reclaim the rightful place of banned books in the school libraries of Florida’s Escambia County School District and School Board. The complaint strongly argues that the school board’s unwarranted removal and limited access to books addressing race, racism and LGBTQ+ identities, in direct defiance of the district review committee’s…
When most people think of Peter Steele photos, a specific, well, centerfold photoshoot might come to mind.
