Thank technology for the answers in 48 Hours‘ chilling tale of Kassanndra Cantrell (airing March 4), a Tacoma, Washington, woman who disappeared in 2020, leaving hardly a clue behind — or so it seemed. “Your digital footprint [lets police] trace you to your last moment on earth,” says Natalie Morales, a contributor to the venerable true crime show who juggles her work as a CBS News correspondent with her hosting gig on The Talk. (Credit: Kassanndra Cantrell/Instagram) As Morales’ story “Kassanndra’s Secret” tells it, Cantrell, outspoken on social media and in person, lived with her mother, who filed a missing-persons…

Photograph: Doggy BathroomThe setup is straightforward, but with the rails, attaching the four different pads can be time-consuming, and their placement can feel precarious. It took me a while to get the clips on just right. It’s not the end of the world for a pad to slip every now and then, but when it does it defeats the purpose of this system. (Less of an issue for dogs who don’t lift their leg and don’t need that wall-to-wall coverage.)Watch Your TailThe Doggy Bathroom is available in two sizes. I tried the standard model, which is 28 inches deep, 20…

While not too much is known about the new upcoming Escape From New York film from the filmmaking collective Radio Silence, the group has confirmed that the film is a “requel” — at least, in its early stages. Speaking to Comicbook.com, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett — two-thirds of the collective — revealed that the upcoming film isn’t fully fleshed out yet, but is a “requel” as it stands. “It’s a great question. I don’t think we know enough about the movie yet to be able to say anything, but yes ‘requel’ is the idea,” the directors said. “There’s no…
Take apart your laptop screen, and at its heart you’ll find a plate patterned with pixels of red, green, and blue LEDs, arranged end to end like a meticulous Lite Brite display. When electrically powered, the LEDs together can produce every shade in the rainbow to generate full-color displays. Over the years, the size of individual pixels has shrunk, enabling many more of them to be packed into devices to produce sharper, higher-resolution digital displays. But much like computer transistors, LEDs are reaching a limit to how small they can be while also performing effectively. This limit is especially noticeable…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Lost In Tarotland? The world-building for this series started happening before the story did, and it looked completely different than what it’s become. I’ve always been fascinated with the esoteric paths and religions, and studied the tarot cards back when I was a teenager. I remember being wide awake in the middle of the night in my father’s farm in Honduras, while I was researching the mysteries of the tarot. That’s when it hit me, that I wanted to write a book where the tarot cards showed the main…
There’s a floating garbage dump orbiting Earth, and it’s getting fuller every year. Space debris — known colloquially as space junk — is the name that scientists give to the thousands of pieces of broken satellites and spacecraft that clog Earth’s orbit. Space junk can be as small as a paint fleck or as large as an abandoned rocket launch vehicle; no matter the size, orbital debris pose a significant threat to the astronauts and spacecraft that work in Earth’s orbit, according to NASA (opens in new tab).The amount of space junk in orbit increases hand-in-hand with the growth of the…
One of Hallmark’s most popular movie franchises is staging a comeback… without its leading lady. Hallmark Movies & Mysteries announced Thursday it had picked up a new Aurora Teagarden Mysteries movie. The flick becomes the 19th movie in the franchise, but the first without Candace Cameron Bure, who departed the cabler for a lucrative deal with GAC Family in 2022. At the time, it seemed like the franchise was dead and buried, but the easiest way for the cabler to switch things up is to take a trip to the past with Aurora Teagarden Mysteries: Something New. Skyler Samuels has…

Six months after I first posted on Instagram, I left my husband and kids behind and set out, alone, to drive 348 miles to meet a bunch of strangers in Las Vegas. That was January 2013. In the 10 years since, many in this group of “strangers” have become my dearest friends, traveling companions, fellow adventurers, and, dare I say, chosen family. We wouldn’t know each other if not for Instagram.When the platform launched in 2010, and I heard that, instead of personal news, gossip, and political opinions, it was just about sharing images, I jumped on and posted my…

Watch me wade into some hot water! The idea of overconsumption has been a flashpoint in the book discourse of late. Articles about getting rid of books and the aesthetics of BookTok question why we own books. Even though much of the hand-wringing about books, collecting, and social media is full of fatuous arguments, I am still interested in the accusations of overconsumption. I’m interested in overconsumption partially because I know I am prone to it. I have an acquisitive nature. Whenever I get into something, be it books, knitting, tea drinking, fountain pen writing, etc., I inevitably acquire more…
If you’ve ever heard the term “alpha wolf,” you might imagine snapping fangs and fights to the death for dominance. The idea that wolf packs are led by a merciless dictator is pervasive, lending itself to a shorthand for a kind of dominant masculinity. But it turns out that this is a myth, and in recent years wildlife biologists have largely dropped the term “alpha.” In the wild, researchers have found that most wolf packs are simply families, led by a breeding pair, and bloody duels for supremacy are rare. “What would be the value of calling a human father…
Scheana Shay is speaking out about allegations that she attacked Vanderpump Rules co-star after learning about her secret relationship with Tom Sandoval. TMZ shared a bombshell statement from Scheana’s attorney, which called Leviss a “liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her.” “This case is a fabrication by a known liar and a cheat who has betrayed everyone close to her,” the statement reads, adding the following: “Scheana never punched Rachel [Raquel], period.” The statement comes just days after Leviss shared a statement addressing her cheating scandal to ET and photos to TMZ of the alleged altercation…
Anya Taylor-Joy has kept her personal life as private as she can manage as her Hollywood profile grows. But ahead of The Queen’s Gambit actress’s Saturday Night Live hosting gig in May 2021, Taylor-Joy was photographed making out with musician Malcolm McRae in New York City. The photos sparked dating rumors—and come after Taylor-Joy spoke about having a partner in her ELLE May 2021 interview.Taylor-Joy didn’t initially explicitly confirm that she and McRae are dating, but they didn’t exactly hide their romantic connection in the city. According to Page Six, the two were seen holding hands and kissing multiple times…
Years ago, Christopher Kyba was skeptical about astronomy data collected by citizen scientists—after all, it relies on people making naked-eye assessments of the night sky. But when a student wrote to him with a question about measuring the sky’s brightness, he thought of the Globe at Night citizen science project, which launched in 2006 to let students track the stars they could see. He downloaded and pored over the data. “I became a complete convert,” says Kyba, a scientist at the German Research Center for Geoscience in Berlin. He has since devoted his career to studying light pollution and has now…
Jungkook of BTS is known for many things — vibrant stage presence, truly incredible vocal chords, and, as of late, going live at all hours of the night.

It also teases the long-awaited appearance of adult Lottie, played by Simone Kessell. Check out the Yellowjackets Season 2…
When I went vegetarian a decade ago, I found it pretty painless to pass on most animal-based dishes. Burgers? Plant-based patties were abundant and, for the most part, delicious. Poultry? Easy: vegan chicken nuggets tasted just like the real deal. Pork? I’d never been a huge fan in the first place. My one weakness was sushi. No matter where I looked, I just couldn’t find a satisfying veggie alternative to my favorite form of seafood. It’s only now, 10 years later, that new food science innovations could finally make the vegan, whole-cut fish of my dreams a reality. This year…
Bond Novels to Be Edited for Offensive Language: Ian Fleming’s highly popular 007 novels will be republished this spring to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first Bond book, Casino Royale. The new editions of the books were reviewed by sensitivity readers according to The Guardian, who recommended that the n-word be removed from the novels. Other racially insensitive passages have been changed, including one from Live and Let Die, which originally described patrons at a Harlem nightclub as “panting and grunting like pigs at the trough.” The new version reads, “Bond could sense the electric tension in the room.”…
On balance, science tends to follow a slow and incremental path: new observations build on previous findings, often over many years, contributing piecemeal to a larger body of knowledge. But every now and then, insights arise that can dramatically accelerate our understanding of a given subject or take the field in unexpected directions. In this special edition, we’ve rounded up just these kinds of advances—what Thomas S. Kuhn called “paradigm shifts” in his 1962 book The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. You’ll see in this anthology that revolutionary discoveries can happen in nearly every field. In biology and evolution, researchers have…

Christina Berchini is a faculty member at Michigan State University.As a teacher, you have to be prepared for the worst. I’ve read dozens of articles about mass shootings. I speak with colleagues and students about how safe we feel at school. I attend workshops on response protocol. All that work and I was still ill-equipped when my school was targeted by a gunman last week.I went to bed early the night of the attack. I was particularly stressed about the upcoming week. It was a busy one, filled with meetings and classes. I took extra melatonin, followed by some Benadryl,…

What can you tell us about your new release, State of Qualms? State of Qualms is the 17th Virgil Jones Mystery-Thriller novel, and like all the other books in the series, it is but a chapter of a much larger over-arching storyline. The main protagonists, Detective Virgil Jones (along with his adopted brother, Murton Wheeler) are special investigators for the Major Crimes Unit, working for, and answering to, the governor of the state. Each book in the series is a stand-alone novel, of course, with a complete and satisfying ending. In other words, there are never any cliffhangers. While the…
GPT-4 is built by OpenAIGSTech / Alamy Stock Photo The AI behind popular chatbot ChatGPT has been updated to a new version known as GPT-4 – and many people have already been unknowingly exposed to the newest AI’s supposedly improved capabilities for weeks prior to the announcement. OpenAI, the company that developed GPT-4, says it “spent 6 months making GPT-4 safer and more aligned” so that the AI is less likely to produce “disallowed content” in response to human users’ queries. GPT-4 delivers “human-level performance” and outperforms its predecessor, GPT-3.5, on many simulated exams … Read The Full Article Here
