Crazy cold temperatures, heavy snow, and strong winds are coming just in time for the holidays, all thanks to a bomb cyclone. It’s a catchy and menacing name for a type of winter storm that can create extremely dangerous conditions. Forecasters predict this one could be unprecedented in its scope, sending freezing temperatures across Canada and most of the US. The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has forecast extreme cold to hit between Thursday and Monday. Temperatures could fall as much as 40 degrees Fahrenheit below average, with wind chills feeling like –50 in the northern Rocky Mountains (from Alberta…

Over the weekend, Axl Rose affirmed that he’ll no longer throw his microphone into the crowd at the end of Guns N’ Roses’ shows after a fan in Australia claimed that she sustained injuries from being hit in the face with it. During their most recent show, the singer made a “Tossers Anonymous” joke in mockery of the incident.If you’ve ever been to a Guns N’ Roses show, particularly in the last 30 years, then you know it’s a tradition for Rose to toss the mic into the crowd for a lucky fan to catch after the final song concludes.…
Best of 2022 is ComingSoon’s weeklong celebration of the entertainment that made this past year so memorable. While I didn’t quite beat my number from 2021, I still played and completed a ton of games last year. And going through so many games demonstrated the staggering breadth of experiences available throughout 2022. For example, Supermassive Games made a disappointing horror adventure with dead-eyed mannequins with The Quarry in June and then the same team also developed a disappointing horror adventure with dead-eyed mannequins in November’s The Devil in Me. All joking aside, 2022 is probably my favorite year ever for…

A simple breeding experiment can identify genetic variants that make plants grow well without impeding their neighbours, improving overall yields Life 29 November 2022 By Kismat Shrees A traditional maize variety (left) and a modern one that can be more effectively packed into high-density fieldsSamuel Wuest (CC-BY 4.0,) Identifying genes that make plants “cooperate” with their neighbours rather than compete with them could enable breeders to develop more productive crops. Natural selection usually favours “selfish” plants that beat their rivals in the competition for light, space and nutrients. But crop breeders can boost overall yield by selecting plants with traits…

I also learned that I enjoyed jogging and felt triumphant when I finished a short run in…

For all of its faults, 2022 was arguably the greatest year for space observation in human history.With the launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers looked deeper into the universe than ever before, taking pictures of 13 billion-year-old galaxies with unrivaled clarity. But Webb was hardly working alone; veteran space telescopes like the Hubble continued their careers of revealing space’s most spectacular secrets, while citizen scientists here on Earth captured auroras, solar storms and other wonders visible from their own backyards.Here are 10 of our favorite space photos of 2022.1.

Many readers asked me why I chose to write historical fiction at the events I attended last year. I didn’t have enough time to elaborate, but if I could, I would trace back to my childhood in China, where I first encountered the genre. Growing up there, I perceived the notion that historical fiction was exclusive, highbrow, and even elitist, for many people believed historical fiction referred to the epic tales of the dynasties that prospered and perished, the curious lives of the empresses and concubines who lived and lost, the eternally tragic warlord who sang his swan song to his…
Camryn Manheim is trying a new approach to bringing her onscreen wishes to life: talking about them during interviews. Manheim’s currently starring on Law & Order as Lieutenant Kate Dixon — the NBC drama’s return in 2022 for Season 21 brought her back onto the show, in a new role and as a series regular, after guest starring as three different characters in previous episodes (in 1991, 1993, and 1994). But TV fans, especially ones of ’90s television (as we are, hence Throwback), probably know her best from her time as lawyer Ellenor Frutt on The Practice (1997-2004). Well, also…

Mauna Loa started erupting the evening of 27 November. Initially, the lava was confined to the…
Not so fast with those 2023 resolutions! Or the intention-setting, manifesting, or whatever goal-getting ideas spin through your head as the calendar turns. Mercury is going to be retrograde this New Year’s Eve and Day, which throws an obvious wrench in any and all plans for the future.Fortunately, it’s only temporary—three weeks, that’s all. From December 29 to January 18, the planet that basically governs our calendars, social lives, and communications will be enjoying a long winter nap. And since Mercury’s reverse commute takes place in Capricorn, the sign of ambition and success, there’s double the futility in trying to…

Watching a movie is an inherently voyeuristic act. The lights go down, the projector flickers to life, and the audience looks.

While the world focuses on limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5 or 2 degrees Celsius over the preindustrial average, increasing meltwater from ice sheets presents an existential threat to the viability of island and coastal nations throughout the world. Now, research from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, recently published in the journal Earth’s Future, shows that even the most optimistic temperature targets can lead to catastrophic sea-level rise, which has already begun and will affect low-lying nations for generations to come. While rising temperatures are having many deleterious effects on global ecosystems, economies and human wellbeing, an interdisciplinary…
