What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Many Shades of Midnight? The story explores a crisis similar to climate change, although it’s very much a fantasy version, more of a zombie apocalypse than global warming. But the real story of the book is the greed and corruption that led to the crisis and that is inspired by what’s going on in our world every day. It’s an exploration of the mentality that prioritizes profits and self-interest over everything else, only in this world time really has run out and the problem is no longer one…
A front page story in The New York Times on July 2, 1971, with details about the conflict in Congress over the CBS documentary ‘The Selling of the Pentagon.’ Credit: New York Times archive Everyone seems to hate what they call “the media.” Attacking journalism—even accurate and verified reporting—provides a quick lift for politicians. It’s not just Donald Trump. Trump’s rival for the 2024 Republican nomination, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, recently criticized “the Lefty media” for telling “lies” and broadcasting “a hoax” about his policies. Criticizing the media emerged as an effective bipartisan political tactic in the 1960s. GOP Sen.…

Routines, even when not fully followed, provide a guiding structure to the chaos of human life. I shower in the morning right after my cup of coffee. I sit at the same office desk every day, even though we technically have unassigned seating. I go on long, meandering walks around lunchtime. I sleep every single night. Always.From bubble baths to pajama time, children often have a regular bedtime routine set by their parents in an effort to get the little balls of energy to wind down. “We do all this stuff so beautifully for our children,” says Rebecca Robbins, an instructor at…

Every degree of warming translates to 7% more water vapour in the air, but rainfall can increase by 20% or more. Credit: NZDF/via Xinhua, CC BY-ND The final months of New Zealand’s summer carried a massive sting, bringing “unprecedented” rainfalls several times over, from widespread flooding in Auckland at the end of January to ex-tropical Cyclone Gabrielle dumping record rains and causing devastating floods across the east coast of the North Island. After all that, New Zealand experienced spells of thunderstorms, bringing repeat floods to parts of Auckland and then Gisborne. The obvious question is what role climate change plays…

Ed Speleers is taking our screens by storm. The incredibly talented and humble star tackled two of the most complex roles of his career, roughly around the same time, as YOU’s Rhys Montrose and Star Trek: Picard’s Jack Crusher. To say he has wholly embodied these roles and left fans talking is an understatement. With his incredible work on both series, we’re confident that his next fantastic role is just around the corner, even if the charming but modest star sometimes fears the well of opportunity can dry up at any moment. This star to watch has been on the…
People who are discharged after a hospitalization involving sepsis were at greater risk of cardiovascular events, rehospitalization for any cause or death during a maximum follow-up of 12 years compared to those hospitalized and did not have sepsis, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed Journal of the American Heart Association. Sepsis is a leading cause of hospitalization and death worldwide. Each year in the U.S., about 1.7 million people develop sepsis, an extreme immune response to an infection in the bloodstream that can spread throughout the whole body…
Narrowing down this year’s biggest colour trends for handbags has been a difficult task. Why you may ask? Because the list of beautiful bags was so extensive. This season alone there has been something for everyone on the runway, from quiet luxury neutrals at Hermes to statement-making brights at Stella McCartney. But to come up with the ultimate list of handbag colour trends for 2023, I asked myself one big question: If I was investing in a new bag this season, which hue would I opt for? Truthfully, I would find it hard to choose. The huge variety of texture, size and style on top…

Advances in IoT technology have made it possible for us to easily and continually obtain large amounts of diverse data. Artificial intelligence technology is gaining attention as a tool to put this big data to use. Conventional machine learning mainly deals with single-label classification problems, in which data and corresponding phenomena or objects (label information) are in a one-to-one relationship. However, in the real world, data and label information rarely have a one-to-one relationship. In recent years, therefore, attention has focused on the multi-label classification problem, which deals with data that has a one-to-many relationship between data and label information.…

The inaugural ceremony, which championed young designer talent in the industry, was held at Goya Studios in LA and opened the stage to Willis, who showed off her musical chops with an emotional, stripped-back performance. The 31-year-old singer-songwriter wore a hot-pink, halter-style maxi with a triangular cutout at the bust and a leg slit that revealed a pair of matching crystalized knee-high boots. Willis accessorized with an embellished box clutch, pearl drop earrings,…
I realized that I had imagined the AI would take in my entire chart and make a diagnosis, possibly with some dramatic gradually-appearing images like the scenes on Grey’s Anatomy where they discover a large tumor that creates a narrative complication and is solved by the end of the episode. I’ve written before about this phenomenon, where unrealistic Hollywood conceptions of AI can cloud our collective understanding of how AI really works. The reality of AI in medicine is far more mundane than one might imagine, and AI does not “diagnose” cancer the way a human doctor does. A radiologist looks…
Everything you need to know about Poison was summed up in the title of their 1988 hit “Nothin’ But a Good Time.” Since forming in 1983 in Mechanicsburg, Pa., the stalwart glam-metal quartet has made music for literally nothing but a good time. Sure, “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” may have dampened a hanky or two, but Poison’s raison d’rock has been to get the party started and keep it going until dawn and beyond. And the good times rolled to the tune of four multi-platinum albums and eight top 20 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Poison laid any…

He watched her every move. Hidden cameras at every turn. He monitored her time at the grocery store. He could tell when the cleanliness of his apartment was less than perfect.

JONATHAN OPPENHEIM likes the occasional flutter, but the object of his interest is a little more rarefied than horse racing or the one-armed bandit. A quantum physicist at University College London, Oppenheim likes to make bets on the fundamental nature of reality – and his latest concerns space-time itself. The two great theories of physics are fundamentally at odds. In one corner, you have general relativity, which says that gravity is the result of mass warping space-time, envisaged as a kind of stretchy sheet. In the other, there is quantum theory, which explains the subatomic world and holds that all…

Fans have been waiting and waiting for The Mandalorian Season 3. But when the show finally arrived on Disney+ it was not met with the ecstatic reception that the first two seasons of the show mostly received. The series is supposedly not drawing the same sorts of ratings as parts years, and reviews from both critics and audiences are not as uniformly positive, either. Has The Mandalorian lost its way?To answer that question, check out our latest Star Wars video, which features our own Ryan Arey and Matt Singer in discussion with IDW editor Heather Antos as they debate the highs and lows of The Mandalorian Season…
