Good news, Days of Our Lives fans! The storyline balance is finally better. The Greek adventure only aired on two out of five days. But on Days of Our Lives during the week of 4-03-23, the writers created connections between the search for Kayla on the other side of the world and people who live and work in Salem. There was also plenty of other drama for those not interested in the old-school adventure, so it was a winning week for everyone!

Researchers found evidence that Earth was not completely frozen solid during the Marinoan ice age 635 million years ago. Shallow, mid-latitude seas remained ice free, perhaps helping life persist. Credit: Michael Miller At least five ice ages have befallen Earth, including one 635 million years ago that created glaciers from pole to pole. Called the Marinoan Ice Age, it’s named for the part of Australia where geologic evidence was first collected in the 1970s. Scientists say the Marinoan Ice Age was one of the most extreme in the planet’s history, creating glacial ice that persisted for 15 million years. But…

Yanomami Indigenous territory of the Amazon rainforest is seen in the Brazilian state of Roraima in February 2023. Protected Indigenous reservations in the Amazon rainforest absorb thousands of tons of airborne pollution each year, saving around $2 billion annually in healthcare costs for treating respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, according to a study published Thursday. The decade-long study analyzed the health impacts of forest fires in the Brazilian Amazon, which release huge amounts of particles into the atmosphere that can travel hundreds of kilometers (miles), damaging the air quality in distant cities. By protecting their own lands against such fires—often set…
It’s hardly an overstatement to say that Rita Ora is quite the bold fashion icon, and her latest Instagram post offers another outfit to add to the mix. The 32-year-old treated her followers to a carousel of photos on Instagram on March 19 from her Dubai getaway which included a lot of naked dressing, as she posed in a netted crop top with nothing underneath. The “You Only Love Me” singer teamed the bold top — held together with only gold and red beads — with a straw and bead embellished maxi skirt, stacks of bangles and bracelets, and a…
“It’s not a question I get very often,” says Michl Binderbauer, CEO of TAE Technologies, when asked about the economics of his company’s design. People are more likely to query how he plans to get plasma in his reactor heated to 1 billion degrees Celsius, up from the 75 million the company has demonstrated so far. But the questions are intertwined, he says.That extreme temperature is required because TAE uses boron as fuel, alongside hydrogen, which Binderbauer thinks will ultimately simplify the fusion reactor and result in a power plant that’s cheaper to build. He puts the costs somewhere between…

Analysing changes to DNA in the blood can improve the ability to predict a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes within a decade. Scientists looked at the influence of these changes — known as DNA methylation — alongside other risk factors in almost 15,000 people to predict the likelihood of developing the condition years in advance of any symptoms developing. The findings could lead to preventative measures being put in place earlier, reducing the economic and health burden caused by type 2 diabetes. Methylation is a chemical process in the body in which a small molecule called a methyl…

When it launched the Eargo 5 two years ago, Eargo became a major player in the over-the-counter hearing aid business. The company’s offering was one of the first OTC hearing aids that were also self-fitting, which means you don’t need an audiologist to tune the way it produces sound. Eargo has made its name on the fact that it provides access to an audiologist anyway, though you’re under no obligation to use them if you want to go it solo.The Eargo 7 is the company’s third version of its OTC self-fitting hearing aid, and a refinement of the formula that…
Welcome back, Extreme! The band has announced their first new studio album in 15 years, Six, and also shared the first single from the upcoming set, a driving, gritty rocker called “Rise.”Speaking about the fist-to-the-sky new anthem from the band, singer Gary Cherone says, “Musically, it’s aggressive. Lyrically, it’s a cautionary tale on the rise and fall of fame. You get seduced into it. Once you’re on top, they’ll rip you apart and tear you down. That’s the nature of the beast.”The stars seem to be aligning for Extreme’s return after their appearance on the Stranger Things, Season 4 soundtrack…
Sex and violence; they can be huge selling points for a film, but only to a point. If a movie contains too much adult language or content it can get slapped with the dreaded NC-17 rating, which many theater chains and home video outlets will not screen or carry. And if you can’t sell tickets to or copies of your movie, it’s awful hard to turn a profit.But, again, sex and violence sell. Horror fans want to see shocking, scary imagery. Nobody goes to an erotic thriller hoping the lead actors share a pleasant, relaxing evening at home watching Four Weddings and…
As the climate changes, many species are expected to adjust where and how they live. Some are expected to seek cooler elevations as it warms, but what happens to species already at the top of a mountain? A study of squirrels living in California’s high-elevation Sierra Nevada indicates that climate is only one factor to consider when trying to predict where an animal will make its home in a changing world. The study, led by the University of California, Davis, is published in the journal Ecology and Evolution and was conducted in alpine regions stretching nearly 200 miles from Alpine…

Global emissions weighted by impact on ozone depletion and climate. Credit: Nature Geoscience (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41561-023-01147-w. Nature Geoscience (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41561-023-01147-w New analysis has found increasing emissions of several ozone-depleting chemicals despite their production being banned for most uses under the Montreal Protocol—and a loophole in the rules is likely responsible. The research, published today in Nature Geoscience and led by the University of Bristol and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), puts the rise in part down to the chemicals, known as chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs, being used to make other ozone-friendly alternatives to CFCs. This is an exception allowed…

I went for the brown shade, Peppercorn, since I didn’t have that…
We are constantly bending and being bent to the will of others—and neurotechnology may be enabling new methods for those seeking to bend others to their will. In 2021, Ahmed Shaheed, during his mandate as the UN Special Rapporteur on freedom of religion or belief, presented the first-ever report on freedom of thought, which argued that “freedom of thought” should be interpreted to include the right not to reveal one’s thoughts nor to be penalized for them. He also recommended that freedom of thought include the right not to have our thoughts manipulated. But manipulation is a slippery concept. If ill-defined, an…
