Hurricane activity in the Atlantic Ocean typically begins to ramp up in earnest around mid-August. But at that time this year, there wasn’t a storm to be seen anywhere across that vast stretch of ocean. Those quiet weeks capped off a nearly two-month lull that had forecasters scratching their head after initial predictions of a busy season. “It was really, really dead. We had no storms in August, which was the first time since 1997,” when a very strong El Niño cut off hurricane activity, says Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane researcher at Colorado State University, who issues a seasonal forecast.…

How can we feed the world sustainably? Right now, 325 million people are acutely hungry. 35 million Americans don’t know where their next meal will come from. The world’s food systems are uneven, fragile, and only becoming more fragile with the climate crisis.“When we talk about from farm-to-fork, we need to transform the food system in a way that, yes, it supports our environment, yes, it supports our health, but also that it provides the economic return to all of the stakeholders across the food system,” says Ertharin Cousin. Cousin is the CEO and managing director of Food Systems for…

After teasing the discovery of a previously unheard song featuring vocals from late singer Freddie Mercury earlier this summer, Queen finally unwrapped “Face It Alone” on Thursday (Oct. 13). The dramatic, emotionally affecting song was recorded during the 1988 sessions for the band’s penultimate album with Mercury, 1989’s The Miracle. Recorded three years before Mercury died at 45 from AIDS-related complications, the wistful track opens with Mercury softly singing, “When something so near and dear to life/ Explodes inside/ You feel your soul is set on fire,” over guitarist Brian May’s banjo-like plucking. By the second verse, Mercury climbs into…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Cover Me With My Izar? The inspiration for my book is my family folklore. All of my short stories are based on my family’s stories of immigrating from Iraq to Israel during the Great Aliyah of 1951-1952. The highly esteemed Russian-born Hebrew poet, Shaul Tzernichovsky, wrote: “People are nothing more than a small plot of land, the landscape of their childhood.” I never had the privilege to lay my eyes on the landscape of our motherland, which came crashing down with the Great Aliyah; writing allows me to try…
The Voice is getting a major shakeup. Blake Shelton, who has been with the NBC juggernaut since the beginning of its run, will leave in the spring following Season 23. “I’ve been wrestling with this for a while, and I’ve decided that it’s time for me to step away from The Voice after Season 23,” Shelton said in a statement. “This show has changed my life in every way for the better, and it will always feel like home to me. It’s been a hell of a ride over these 12 years of chair turns, and I want to thank everyone…
A recent spate of polio-related news in the U.S. has left the public wondering: Is polio back? The short answer is yes—but a high-profile New York State outbreak is related to unusual factors that don’t apply to the general population. Measures to address pockets of dangerously low polio vaccination rates around the U.S. could extinguish the outbreak and potentially restore the country to a poliovirus-free condition. Experts agree that a vaccinated population is the best defense against poliomyelitis, the technical name for the disease caused by the poliovirus—which can sometimes lead to permanent paralysis. Fortunately, U.S. polio vaccination rates have…
A few years ago, I had my “colours done,” which involved various fabric swatches draped around my neck to show how they worked (or didn’t work) with my skin tone. I very much believe that if you like a colour, you should wear it, as there are really no rules in fashion—at least none that I encourage. Still, if you’re faced with a piece you love in various colours, where do you begin? It’s easy to stick to reliable base colours of black, white and grey, but for those looking to add more colour to their wardrobe, there’s one hue out there…

A team of shipwreck hunters has discovered an extraordinary sunken vessel off the East Coast of the United States: the wreck of a World War I German U-boat sunk by U.S. warplanes a century ago for target practice. According to an exclusive report by National Geographic (opens in new tab), the team confirmed the identity of the wreck in early September as that of SM U-111, a submarine that served in the Imperial German Navy. After Germany agreed to an armistice in 1918, the U-boat surrendered to the British, who saved a handful of the early submarines to the U.S. to…

The Supernatural journey finally continues! The series premiere of The Winchesters is here, and it was nothing short of the supernatural. On The Winchesters Season 1 Episode 1, John Winchester and Mary Campbell meet for the first time, and their lives are changed forever. As a Supernatural fan, I can say with my whole heart that The Winchesters is such a great series. Like a lot of fans, I was weary with how they would tell John and Mary’s story since what was shown on Supernatural is different from the prequel series. But this story, as different as it is,…
The same DART spacecraft impact can result in very different craters on Dimorphos depending on what the asteroid material is like. The crater on the left is the result if Dimorphos is composed of strong rocky material, while the much larger crater shown on the right could occur if the Dimorphos is made up of much weaker rubble-like material. Credit: Mike Owen/LLNL. NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft will crash into asteroid Dimorphos on Sept. 26, executing the first asteroid deflection test that has been years in the planning. Dimorphos, at 150 meters across, is the “moonlet” of a…

Some try to drive systemic change from the ground up. Peter Mui founded the Fixit Clinic, which trains people to repair their own devices. That’s good for the climate because it reduces waste and demand for new products and raw materials. But many devices can’t be fixed, due to things like packaging, design choices, or copyright enforcement. Capitalism, basically.Mui’s work involves fighting back in small ways—figuring out how to repair or hack the nuts and bolts of complex hardware, despite manufacturer roadblocks, and advocating for those roadblocks to be removed. But his broader aim is to help bring about a…

But Wuthering Heights? I’ve read this novel on an almost yearly basis since I was… 18? 20? Forget the opening line, I can quote the first paragraph, and a number of passages besides (that is how I know that Heathcliff cannot, in fact, live without his heart). This is a polarizing story. People either love it or hate it. But whether positive or negative, this book is almost guaranteed…
There was plenty of partying happening on Queen Sugar Season 7 Episode 6, but the only celebration worth attending included Sandy and Prosper. Listening to Parthena, Violet and Sandy talk about living life and enjoying freedom and love in their later years was the entertainment we didn’t know we needed. Parthena admitting she’d been naked in public was a story that should have been shared. And Sandy and Violet had no shame in admitting to active and enjoyable sex lives. And Violet was quick to assure Billie that finding love later in life could have far better results thanks to experience. …
