The nostalgic trend is all about repurposing what you already have. By Natalie Michie Date March 8, 2023 Growing up, I always found a sense of serenity in my grandmother’s vanity dresser. Sitting on her bed, I relished examining the antique wooden triptych mirror, which sat adorned with hanging pendants and delicate silver chains. Her shelf was cluttered with colourful trinkets and tiny boxes that spilled open to reveal little treasures gathered over time. To me, it was the picture of personal style carefully cultivated through the decades. This is the ethos of grandmother fashion, which is set to be…

MultiVersus had quite the launch and a consistent drip of new characters. That trickle abruptly stopped after Marvin the Martian’s release in November 2022. A drop-off in support doesn’t usually bode well for live service games, and Player First Games has now announced that the platform fighter would be going offline. However, in an unusual twist, it will be coming back and fully launching sometime in early 2024 with more content, features, and modes. Game Director Tony Huynh spoke about this move in a video on the game’s social channels. The game will be pulled from digital storefronts on April…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write SINS: The Debt? In the earlier books in the series, Smoke D’Angelo is a ruthless mafia kingpin.

Coastal cities worldwide are squeezed by two opposing forces: urban sprawl and the rising sea. This struggle is intensely visible in the flatlands of South Florida, where burgeoning neighborhoods routinely flood and saltwater inundation damages the estuaries that protect communities from the worst of our climate crisis. Massive resources are being put into environmental restoration projects there, and development is subject to many layers of approvals. Yet in 2022 the Miami-Dade County Commissioners voted to expand a legal boundary that contains sprawl to allow a 400-acre warehouse project. They are failing to see the value of this land in the…

LeBron James is undeniably one of greatest basketball players ever, a rival to Michael Jordan as the GOAT. In his glittering career he has won everything and is famed throughout the world. James’ legacy of excellence extends back to his days before the NBA when he led Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School to victory in the 2003 Ohio State Championships. Peacock‘s upcoming film Shooting Stars tells the story of James and his teammates, who were dubbed “The Fab Five.” While LeBron was the only one to make it in the NBA, his school friends all found success in their…

The Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 runtime was reported to be the longest in the MCU series and clocking in at nearly two-and-a-half hours long. Director James Gunn has now commented on the time, confirming that it’s correct although the movie isn’t finalized yet in terms of the final runtime. “It’s around that long, although that’s not yet exact,” Gunn revealed on his Twitter. “And, I promise, not a second is wasted. There’s no fat. It was necessary to experience the full arc for every major Guardians character, not only for this film, but for the trilogy (or, I…
The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. As a conservation biologist who studies plastic ingestion by marine wildlife, I can count on the same question whenever I present research: “How does plastic affect the animals that eat it?” This is one of the biggest questions in this field, and the verdict is still out. However, a recent study from the Adrift Lab, a group of Australian and international scientists who study plastic pollution, adds to a growing body of evidence that ingesting plastic debris has discernible chronic effects on the animals that consume…
When book banning started to heat up two years ago, many wondered how long until a library worker would be seriously hurt over defending the right to read. Now, we know it’s not going to be long at all. Over the last month, several libraries have faced bomb and shooting threats as a direct result of the books housed in their collections. Books that were reviewed by professionals and deemed appropriate for those school and public libraries. Books that, of course, feature queer and/or BIPOC writers and characters who do not align with the views of those who believe that…

Transformers change the voltage of electrical currentsShutterstock/style_TTT Across the US, new houses sit unfinished – construction can’t be completed until they are connected to the electricity grid. Utility companies worry about how quickly they can restore power after damage caused by hurricanes and other natural disasters. And nationwide efforts to modernise ageing electrical grids face delays of months or even years. All this is happening because of a national shortage of electrical distribution transformers. These devices convert the high-voltage electricity from power lines into lower voltages suitable for homes and businesses, … Read The Full Article Here
Let me preface this by saying that I have a very turbulent relationship with foundation. Any product that works to cover up all of the things that make skin look like yours is a big no-no if you ask me. And all too often, I find that so many foundations do just that. They leave skin looking flat, dull and void of life. Given the fact that every single aspect of my beauty routine is dedicated to bringing out my inner glow, trying to find the perfect natural-looking base that works to smooth and blur without totally repainting my complexion has…
The system works like this: The UNHCR delivers USDC, a crypto coin locked to a $1 valuation and hosted on the Stellar network, to a digital wallet that can be accessed via smartphone. The recipient then exchanges their coins for local currency at any MoneyGram facility.The UNHCR is also using standard bank transfers to distribute aid. However, as Hett says, although the Ukrainian banking system has so far proven resilient, if a bank were to fail, its customers would be left without access to the aid in their accounts. But a stablecoin is hosted on decentralized infrastructure and in the…

The Path to Emotional Greatness by Kenya Lee What’s it About? The Path to Emotional Greatness starts off as a memoir where she discusses how she overcame relatable life-challenging circumstances and self-limiting behaviors. “The fact is self-awareness is our key to making the right decision for our life’s path and ultimately obtaining happiness throughout our endeavors.” The world has changed drastically in the past few years, and it has become all the more apparent that society as a whole doesn’t necessarily have the tools to carry the burdens of life anymore. We are exhausted, mostly angry, and it feels like…

In the meantime, here are updates on the Love Is Blind couples that have gone the distance — and…
In an advance they consider a breakthrough in computational chemistry research, University of Wisconsin-Madison chemical engineers have developed model of how catalytic reactions work at the atomic scale. This understanding could allow engineers and chemists to develop more efficient catalysts and tune industrial processes — potentially with enormous energy savings, given that 90% of the products we encounter in our lives are produced, at least partially, via catalysis. Catalyst materials accelerate chemical reactions without undergoing changes themselves. They are critical for refining petroleum products and for manufacturing pharmaceuticals, plastics, food additives, fertilizers, green fuels, industrial chemicals and much more. Scientists…
