If you want to get the most out of your Netflix subscription this month, here’s what you need to know: The following movies and TV shows are going to be gone in a matter of weeks, if not days. If you’ve been waiting to binge, say, Sofia the First with your kids (or without your kids, no judgment here), you better hurry up because the clock is ticking.Among the other non-princess-y things leaving Netflix: Francis Ford Coppola’s Vietnam War epic Apocalypse Now Redux, Sinister 2, Friday, Rock of Ages, three seasons of Hemlock Grove, and the Keanu Reeves sci-fi movie Johnny Mnemonic, set in the far-flung dystopian future…

A long-term study finds that seedling mortality increased when severe and prolonged drought occurred in Southeast Asian seasonally dry tropical forests, which are deemed more drought-tolerant than tropical rainforests. Global climate change may lead to more extreme weather events such as droughts. To predict the impact of climate change on tropical forests, it is necessary to understand more accurately the effects of drought. El Niño often reduces rainfall and causes drier forests in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Since tropical rainforests there usually experience rainfall year-round with no dry season, El Niño-induced drought increases tree mortality. Seasonally dry tropical…

Scientists analysing the effects of an organic compound on drug resistance bacteria have discovered how it can inhibit and kill a germ that causes serious illness or in some cases death. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacteria, often found in hospital patients, which can lead to infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery. Hydroquinine, an organic compound found in the bark of some trees, was recently found to have bacterial killing activity against the germ and several other clinically important bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The team behind…
Photography Courtesy of ImaxTree With the use of unconventional materials and catwalk comedy, this season’s runways mastered the art of buzz. By Natalie Michie Date September 27, 2022 When things get tough, sometimes all you need is a good distraction. This was the unofficial tagline at Milan Fashion Week Spring 2023. From doppelgänger styling at Gucci to chaotic collapsing models at Avavav, shock-factor fashion was in full effect — and proved to be more powerful than ever. Of course, it wouldn’t be Fashion Week without nods to the current cultural climate. Across the Italian city, runways referenced the anxiety we’re…

The results of the trial, stopped early due to the significance of the findings, were presented in a late-breaking session at the World Stroke Congress and simultaneously published in The Lancet. Professor Craig Anderson, Director of Global Brain Health at The George Institute for Global Health, said the rapid emergence of this effect suggested the more aggressive approach was compromising the return of blood flow to the affected area. “Our study provides a strong indication that this increasingly common treatment strategy should now be avoided in clinical practice,” he said. Around 85 percent of strokes are ischaemic strokes, caused by…
The day that comfortable shoes came back in style was probably one of the happiest days of my life. OK, I’ll admit I’m being a little dramatic, but it really isn’t far from the truth. I love wearing comfortable shoes, whether it’s dad sneakers, strappy sandals (with lots of support), or most recently: clogs. I never thought I would be someone who was into clogs, but the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clog ($150–$155) completely changed my mind. (The colorway I own is currently sold out, but they’re also available in tons of other colors and styles.) You’ve probably seen your…
iPhone 14 series debuted recently during Apple’s ‘Far Out’ event in September. However, rumours surrounding the next iPhone lineup — the iPhone 15 — have already started surfacing. The lineup is believed to include the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max / iPhone 15 Ultra models. These models were previously expected to come with an upgraded lens on the main camera. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo now suggests that this might not be the case. He had also previously suggested that the high-end iPhone 15 models could arrive with solid-state buttons, instead of physical volume and power buttons.According to…
White Lung will soon be no more, but they’re going out with a bang: Today, they’ve shared another taste of their forthcoming final album Premonition with the pummeling single “If You’re Gone.” Vocalist Mish Barber-Way has become a mother two times over since White Lung’s last album Paradise, and she’s explained that Premonition deals with topics of birth and evolution. But “If You’re Gone” focuses on the rebirth that happens when a loved one — particularly one who raised you — is no longer with you. “Suicide was in the zeitgeist in many ways when I wrote this song,” Barber-Way said in a press…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Where Is Sarah?? In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, I helped a friend during his house hunting journey. I went with him and his real estate agent to a house for sale in Fairfax, CA. The place needed a lot of work. As I toured the place, I noticed fingerpaint on the window sills and the real estate agent said it used to be a daycare and – boom. I had the seed from which this story grew. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the…

The Biden administration announced Wednesday that it would send nearly $1 billion to school districts to buy more than 2,300 electric school buses. The chunk of funds—from last year’s bipartisan infrastructure law—is an historic investment in the country’s young fleet of school buses that run on batteries. It will more than quadruple the current fleet of about 740. “This is a total game changer,” said Sue Gander, the director of an electric school-bus initiative at the World Resources Institute. “It’s certainly not everything that we need to really move the entire fleet forward, but such a huge step here.” The…
Researchers have long known that the chemical structure of the molecules we inhale influences what we smell. But in most cases, no one can figure out exactly how. Scientists have deciphered a few specific rules that govern how the nose and brain perceive an airborne molecule based on its characteristics. It has become clear that we quickly recognize some sulfur-containing compounds as the scent of garlic, for example, and certain ammonia-derived amines as a fishy odor. But these are exceptions. It turns out that structurally unrelated molecules can have similar scents. For example, hydrogen cyanide and larger, ring-shaped benzaldehyde both smell…
Netflix’s The Watcher tells the story of the Brannock family, who move into their new home in a well-to-do neighborhood only to receive ominous letters in the mail.

As more letters arrive at the house from The Watcher asking about their kids and the “young blood,” the couple tries to sell their home…
Earlier this month, the US Food and Drug Administration announced a nationwide shortage of immediate release amphetamine mixed salts. For many people who take this medication, the announcement just stated what they’ve known for months. Right now, it can be tricky, wildly inconvenient, and sometimes outright impossible to get hold of this drug, commonly referred to by its brand name Adderall. Pharmacies across the country do not have it in stock. People are rationing pills, driving for hours, and pleading with their doctors for alternative treatments. Drug shortages are not uncommon; there are over 200 happening right now in the United…

The eternal waters referred to on this episode of House of the Dragon are described as “the dominion of the Merling King.” But who is the Merling King?

That’s not to say that everything I buy is an investment—at least, not in terms of cost. I love the high street, and in Britain, we have access to some of the best affordable brands in the world. Although I shop from it, I do so mindfully. And I apply that same mentality to any high-end purchases I’m considering. In the past, I’ve been swayed into purchasing on name alone, but in my tenure at Who What Wear, I’ve developed a thicker skin for designer pieces, which allows me to look past the gilded embossing and instead see the piece…
Twitter is abuzz with reports that users will have to shell out a $20 (roughly Rs. 1,600) fee for the ‘blue tick’, which authenticates the identity of the account holder, and a failure pay the amount will result in the coveted status being withdrawn.Refuting the reports, Union Minister of State for Electronics and Technology, Rajeev Chandrasekhar told ANI, “I do not think this is true.
