Full disclosure: my athleisure vs. real clothes ratio is about 80/20, with athleisure having the upper hand. My weakness for stylish joggers, comfy leggings, and sweatshirts with interesting silhouettes tends to take over when I’m shopping for a closet refresh. The sheer volume of wear I know I’ll get out of each piece is undeniable. My latest acquisition? The Old Navy Dynamic Fleece Half-Zip Sweatshirt ($50), a structured sweatshirt that looks equally stylish paired with leggings for a workout or wide-leg jeans for running errands. I have plenty of crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, and zip-ups but wanted to grab a trendier,…
Payments solution provider Razorpay, which was raided by the Enforcement Directorate recently, in a statement said that it has cooperated with the agency and its funds have not been frozen. “This recent visit by the ED is part of the ongoing investigation against a few suspicious entities who conducted illegal business through multiple payment gateways/banks,” the company said in a statement on Friday.”We proactively blocked all those suspicious entities and funds associated with them about 1.5 years ago, and have shared their details with the ED multiple times,” a Razorpay spokesperson said.”All our operations and onboarding processes adhere to the…

A ConocoPhillips drill site in the National Petroleum Reserve in AlaskaConocoPhillips On 13 March, the US government approved an $8 billion oil drilling project on Alaska’s North Slope, known as the Willow project and led by oil giant ConocoPhillips. This gives the green light to one of the largest oil developments ever constructed on US federal land, and opens the door to decades of drilling in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska, a critical habitat for caribou and migratory birds. The decision allows for the construction of three drilling pads, along with hundreds of miles of roads, pipelines, airstrips, gravel…
Presence, the Play by William E. Jefferson What’s it About? One man’s journey through his own doubt, fear and faith in the darkest of all possible places — hell itself. During Lent, the weeks leading up to Easter, practicing Christians reflect on, among other things, the events surrounding Christ’s last days on Earth: His entry into Jerusalem, sermon at the Last Supper, arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, trial before Pontius Pilate, crucifixion and death at the hands of Roman soldiers, burial and subsequent resurrection. It is a story full of treachery, cruelty, despair and sorrow. One where faith and…
Electric space propulsion systems use energized atoms to generate thrust. The high-speed beams of ions bump against the graphite surfaces of the thruster, eroding them a little more with each hit, and are the systems’ primary lifetime-limiting factor. When ion thrusters are ground tested in an enclosed chamber, the ricocheting particles of carbon from the graphite chamber walls can also redeposit back onto the thruster surfaces. This changes the measured performance characteristics of the thruster. Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign used data from low-pressure chamber experiments and large-scale computations to develop a model to better understand the effects…

Special shampoos, conditioners and blowouts may “promise” thicker-looking, healthy hair, but for more advanced hair loss issues (think, female pattern baldness autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances due to postpartum), it doesn’t completely solve the puzzle.

Hollywood has infamously been unwelcoming — if not unsafe — to young women stars since its inception, and Christina Ricci shed light on her own unsavory experience involving a sex scene in a recent interview on The View. The Yellowjackets star — who’s been acting since she was a child in projects like Casper and The Addams Family — revealed that she was once threatened with a lawsuit for refusing to do the scene “a certain way.” Ricci plays the modern version of Misty Quigley in Showtime’s Yellowjackets, which follows a girls high school soccer team that survived a plane crash…

Neutrinos are one of the most abundant particles in our universe, but they are notoriously difficult to detect and study: they don’t have an electrical charge and have nearly no mass. They are often referred to as “ghost particles” because they rarely interact with atoms. But because they are so abundant, they play a large role in helping scientists answer fundamental questions about the universe. In groundbreaking research described in Nature — led by researchers from the University of Rochester — scientists from the international collaboration MINERvA have, for the first time, used a beam of neutrinos at the Fermi…

Swarm — Donald Glover’s meditation on toxic internet fandom, not so subtly modeled after Beyoncé’s Beehive — is one of Prime Video’s buzziest new series. In addition to the Atlanta creative team at the helm, the show boasts Dominique Fishback, Chloe Bailey, Damson Idris, Billie Eilish, Rickey Thompson, Paris Jackson, Rory Culkin, Kiersey Clemons, and Byron Bowers as its cast. More surprisingly, Swarm also credits Malia Obama as a writer.

Swarm, however, marks Obama’s first major television writing gig. Read on to see what she contributed…

Photography courtesy of Imaxtree, collage by Leo Tapel The Y2K trend welcomes you to celebrate love any day of the year. By Natalie Michie Date February 14, 2023 Enthusiasts of the genre would likely agree that there are three requisites for an iconic 2000s romcom main character: a beautiful (yet suspiciously spacious) apartment; a cool corporate job; and a never-ending rotation of situational-appropriate outfits. The latter now has a name: romcom core. Love them or hate them (which, how could you?), romantic comedies are comfort food in cinematic form. Often (unfairly) deemed only appropriate on Valentine’s Day or Christmas, the…
Perhaps crucially, Qualcomm also says its Digital Chassis allows automakers to “own the in-vehicle experience … [and] extend their brand and bring engaging consumer interactions into the vehicle.” This will be particularly welcomed by manufacturers after the announcement in June last year of Apple’s next-gen multiscreen version of CarPlay, which will likely not be anywhere near as collaborative as Qualcomm’s offering. Indeed, when CarPlay 2 was announced, WIRED reached out to a number of major automakers for comment on the Cupertino system, only to find that it seemed as if the companies had no idea the news, and the potential impact…

More than three times as many houses and other structures burned in Western wildfires in 2010-2020 than in the previous decade, and that wasn’t only because more acreage burned, a new analysis has found. Human ignitions started 76% of the wildfires that destroyed structures, and those fires tended to be in flammable areas where homes, commercial structures, and outbuildings are increasingly common. “Humans are driving the negative impacts from wildfire,” concluded lead author Philip Higuera, a fire ecologist and professor at the University of Montana, who wrote the assessment during a sabbatical at the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental…
