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.

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…

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…

Before Chadwick Boseman’s shocking death in 2020 after a private battle with colon cancer, Ryan Coogler had already working on a script for a sequel to Black Panther that would have focused on Boseman’s T’Challa and his continuing story. In the wake of Boseman’s death, Coogler decided to reconceive the film as Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and to incorporate Boseman’s (and T’Challa’s) death into the narrative. Now the movie is about Wakanda after the passing of its beloved king, and how the country moves forward without him.But we never knew until now that they, and Coogler himself, almost didn’t move forward at all. In a new interview about Wakanda…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Marked? Second chance romances are butter for my soul, and what better way to showcase one than with a hot former sniper and his best friend’s baby sister? And because my fiancé is from the picturesque Adirondack Mountains, it provided the perfect backdrop for Mark “Danger Zone” Donovan and his childhood nemesis Jess Bishop. I began this story nearly two years ago, popped it on the back burner, and let it simmer until the story, the emotions, and the heat were just right. If you had to pick theme…

The clocks will fall back again this Sunday, Nov. 6 at 2 .a.m. local time, when daylight saving time (sometimes erroneously called daylight savings time) ends for the year.

The guitarist and keyboardist for British rock band UFO says that he doesn’t understand Ozzy Osbourne’s appeal, and suggests that Osbourne was only successful because of the musicians around him. Neil Carter explained in an interview earlier this year that while he “like(s) Ozzy,” if Osbourne was just on his own, “it would be a slightly different story.”UFO are generally considered a group that bridged the gap between hard rock and heavy metal in the 70’s. VH1 ranked them No. 84 on their “100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. When Carter spoke to with the Rock Interview Series in May of this year he talked about touring…

Animals such as spiders make fibers which are strong and elastic. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and serve as inspiration for research into the development of functional materials. Alpha-amino acid N-Carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) are precursors for artificial polypeptides, however they are difficult to produce. Using the photo-on-demand method that they previously developed, a research group has synthesized NCA in a safe, inexpensive and simple manner from chloroform and amino acid. In nature, there are animals that make fibers which are strong and elastic. For example, the thread that spiders produce to make webs. These fibers have a polypeptide structure and…
