Terrell Carter remembers one prisoner in particular. They had both been seeking commutations of their life sentence so they could eventually apply for parole. But Carter says that in the midst of the process, his fellow inmate became so debilitated with dementia that the man could no longer function well enough to complete the paperwork. Within a few months, Carter says, this prisoner was incapacitated, lying in bed with arms outstretched over his head, calling for help. Carter, an inmate who volunteered in the hospice ward of State Correctional Institution Phoenix in Collegeville, Penn., says that his fellow prisoner languished…

I knew Styles would treat us to something spectacular, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain in a midnight-blue, flared-trouser suit and cornflower pointed-collar shirt, accessorised with white shoes, retro sunglasses (all by Gucci, naturally), gold rings, and a pastel manicure. Pleasing indeed. Then, there’s fashion darling and, in my opinion, one of the A-list’s freshest dressers, Florence Pugh, who took the naked-dress trend to the next level with her off-the-shoulder Valentino Haute Couture creation of tulle and sequins. As a fellow petite girl, I fully support her choice of stacked-platform, bow-adorned heels. Then, there’s the film’s director,…

Researchers have succeeded in making photosynthesis more efficient in soybean plants, in a major breakthrough that will mean less forest has to be cut down to make way for farms Environment 18 August 2022 By Michael Le Page Soybean plants grown in the trialHaley Ahlers/RIPE Project Soybeans that have been genetically modified to make them more efficient at photosynthesis have produced yields more than 20 per cent larger than those of unmodified crops in field trials – and with no added fertiliser. Growing these upgraded crops will help reduce deforestation, greenhouse emissions and the loss of biodiversity, as well as…
Mike Patton has once again opened up about his mental health struggles, revealing that he coped with alcoholism during the pandemic. In a new interview with The Guardian, Patton discussed the upcoming sophomore album from his hardcore-thrash supergroup Dead Cross, stating that it was “forged through COVID, cancer, and alcoholism.” Patton alluded to guitarist Mike Crain’s battle with squamous cell carcinoma, a form of skin cancer. Crain’s cancer eventually went into remission, with the guitarist crediting the making of the new Dead Cross album with helping save his life. Then the COVID pandemic happened, which sent Patton into a life…

I love big, sprawling, fantasy series as much as anyone. But for the past few years, I’ve also been craving more self-contained stories that don’t demand as much time and attention from me. Which is why I began reading standalones — and let me say that they are more than capable of telling complete and detailed stories with well-developed characters despite the shorter format. In fact, that’s exactly what makes them great reads for both fantasy newbies and genre veterans. We covered adult fantasy standalones recently here at Book Riot. So today I’m going to focus on standalone YA fantasy…
Some researchers have seen an unusual effect where microscopic water drops turn into hydrogen peroxide after hitting a surface. A series of experiments is now getting closer to uncovering why it might happen Chemistry 18 August 2022 By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan Researchers are unpicking what happens when very tiny water drops turn into hydrogen peroxideJOYI CHANG/Alamy Microscopic water droplets can sometimes turn into bleach after a hitting a surface.

“At the end of the day, the flexibility of how you can abuse corporate accounts to move laterally and pivot over to other applications in the cloud—there are just so many different ways that attackers can use enterprise credentials,” says Crane Hassold, director of threat intelligence at Abnormal Security and a former digital behavior analyst for the FBI. “That’s why phishing is so extremely popular with cybercriminals, because of that return on investment.”There are stronger ways to implement two-factor authentication, and the new generation of “password-less” login schemes or “Passkeys” from the industry FIDO2 standard promise a much less phishable…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Butterfly wing patterns have a basic plan to them, which is manipulated by non-coding regulatory DNA to create the diversity of wings seen in different species, according to new research. The study, “Deep cis-regulatory homology of the butterfly wing pattern ground plan,” published as the cover story in the Oct. 21 issue of Science, explains how DNA that sits between genes—called ‘junk’ DNA or non-coding regulatory DNA—accommodates a basic plan conserved over tens to hundreds of millions of years while at the same time allowing wing patterns to evolve extremely quickly. The research supports the idea…

Researchers around the world are working to develop efficient materials to convert CO2 into usable chemical substances — work that is particularly pressing in view of global warming. A team from the University of Göttingen, Germany, and the Ulsan National Institute for Science, South Korea, has discovered a new and promising approach: catalytically active molecules are nanoconfined — meaning they are put into an environment that leaves very little space for the single molecules — on a surface that serves as a conductive electron supplier. These molecules promote specific chemical reactions. Such hybrid systems make use of both the properties…
In education there’s a distinct jargon used. Acronyms and idioms and particular turns of phrase. This isn’t unique to education, but ubiquitous in most occupations. While we do the best we can to reflect on our teaching processes and make corrections where necessary, sometimes we don’t even think about a term that needs to be examined because we’ve been using it for so long. This is not an excuse; it’s an explanation. “Reluctant reader” is one of those terms. It’s still in use for a few reasons. One, it does describe people who are hesitant to read, and specifically, books…

Irrigating more land could help feed 1.4 billion people, but over half of new irrigation projects are in places that are already at risk of running dry Environment 18 August 2022 By James Dinneen A drip-irrigated vegetable farm in Panchgani, Maharashtra, India. Between 2000 and 2015, India saw the second largest increase in irrigated land.Shutterstock/Hari Mahidhar The world’s irrigated land has grown by more than 300,000 square kilometres since 2000. More than half of that increase occurred in places that lack enough water to irrigate without eventually running dry. Around 90 per cent of all fresh water used by people…
