Photography courtesy of Gucci From twinning with Jared Leto to dismembered heads on the runway, it’s been a wild seven years. By Bernadette Morra Date November 23, 2022 Some are shocked. Others aren’t. Either way, the news that Alessandro Michele is leaving Gucci is rocking the fashion world. And in a week that also saw Raf Simons shutting his label, that world had already been knocked off its axis. Michele arrived at Gucci in 2015 with a bang, taking over from Frida Giannini who had carried Tom Ford’s sexy/suit-y legacy forward when he left the brand in the mid-oughts. But…
Binance has launched its native oracle service in a bid to simplify the process of loading already existing data on its native BNB blockchain. This will enable smart contracts on the blockchain to run on real-world inputs and outputs. Blockchains in themselves cannot verify the authenticity of the data loaded on them. Hence, oracle services are used to make sure that only accurate data is being used on decentralised finance (DeFi) applications based on specific blockchains. Oracles can also be bi-directional, allowing them to ‘send’ data to the outside world.“Blockchain oracles are a critical building block of the blockchain ecosystem.…
Christopher Nolan has not been hauled before the UN court at The Hague and, the odd Dunkirk pan aside, has never been accused of war crimes. This is important to know before we tell you that he recreated a nuclear explosion for Oppenheimer with practical (but not that practical) effects. Nolan’s love of practical effects has become famous, and for his last film, 2020’s Tenet, he bought and crashed a real 747 jet. When it came to Oppenheimer, the director spoke about the “huge challenge” of recreating the first-ever detonation of a nuclear weapon, codenamed ‘Trinity,’ to Total Film magazine (via Variety). “I think recreating the Trinity test without the use of computer graphics was a…

Legislation is failing to end gas flaring in Nigeria which is harming and environment and people’s health, a new study warns.

Nigeria currently contributes significantly to the total amount of greenhouse gases produced in Africa through emissions from its oil and gas industry in the Niger Delta. The…
Melodie Jeng Denim doesn’t get much more classic than a worn-in pair of Levi’s. The company’s been stitching together blue jeans for nearly two centuries, which means it’s had plenty of time to perfect a soft-but-sturdy fabric capable of outlasting the competition. With a long history in working-class America, the brand’s wide range of jeans, shorts, jackets, overalls, and skirts are well-made but reasonably priced—and unbelievably flattering for any body type. No wonder the denim’s been spotted on the likes of Hailey Bieber, Emma Chamberlain, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Selena Gomez, Kourtney Kardashian, Sydney Sweeney, Camila Cabello, and Kristen Stewart…and,…

It seems that tensions are once again flaring up between two of Star Trek’s surviving co-stars. George Takei and William Shatner have butted heads in the past, and despite playing nice at press events and the like, it seems there’s still a lot of tension behind the scenes. For whatever reason, the two can’t seem to get along. Shatner thinks that Takei rides on the waves that Captain Kirk created, while Takei thinks Shatner is a total diva. Is either side justified? Who’s to say? It’s just unfortunate to see them fight.The most recent spat seems to have started earlier in November of this…

Many people today associate mistletoe with holiday kisses. But for centuries the plant was known more for its remarkable stickiness; ancient Greeks and Romans used gooey mistletoe berries for applications ranging from bird traps to skin ulcer ointment. Now biochemists are investigating whether mistletoe’s clinginess can provide a natural alternative to synthetic glues. For the parasitic mistletoe plant, stickiness is essential. Inside each berry are seeds coated in a mucuslike substance called viscin. After a bird gobbles up and digests a berry, it expels globs of seeds in strands of this substance, which drape over tree branches and glue the…
