What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Smoke and Mirrors? I began musing about writing a supernatural mystery series before I had heard of Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers of London series. After reading that and a few other urban fantasy novels, I realized that this was a genre that captivated me, but also that much of the literature on the market operated around the premise that the supernatural element was a secret in society at large, and that you as the reader were given entry into a hidden society through the book. I wanted to flip that…
Spiral galaxies represent one of the most spectacular features in our universe. Among them, spiral galaxies in the distant universe contain significant information about their origin and evolution. However, we have had a limited understanding of these galaxies due to them being too distant to study in detail. “While these galaxies were already detected among the previous observations using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, their limited spatial resolution and/or sensitivity did not allow us to study their detailed shapes and properties,” explains Junior Researcher Yoshinobu Fudamoto from Waseda University in Japan, who has been researching galaxies’ evolution.…
“Do you have one more fight in you?” That’s the question William Zabka‘s Johnny Lawrence asks in the newly released Season 6 announcement for Netflix‘s Karate Kid sequel series Cobra Kai. Surely fans have more than one fight left in them, but Cobra Kai is hanging up its karate belt after its forthcoming sixth and final season which is set to be its “biggest” and “baddest” to date. Set over 30 years after the events of the 1984 All Valley Karate Tournament from The Karate Kid, Cobra Kai sees the continuation of Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny’s conflict as…
[]People who experience generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) exhibit excessive concern about multiple events or activities most days of the week. While it is not unusual for people to experience some stress as they go about their daily lives, GAD sufferers rarely get a break from their anxiety.[]Although some of the symptoms and reactions may be similar to those of a phobia (an extreme, irrational fear), GAD is not a direct response to a specific situation or experience. Sufferers experience unease that casts a shadow over all of their activities.[]While not nearly as intense as a panic attack, the unease lasts…

In his 2019 Stanford address, Tim Cook warned about the threat to our “freedom to be human” from technology that looks to get inside our heads and rearrange the furniture. His “freedom to be human” is, essentially, our fundamental right to freedom of thought—an absolute right that has been mostly overlooked until now. The importance of Tim Cook’s speech was the recognition that Silicon Valley itself could never have come into existence in the current climate. Technology that undermines freedom of thought ultimately undermines innovation, and that is not good for anyone.This will be the year we take back control…

From all appearances, The Flash was meant to be the first chapter of a totally new phase of the DC Comics movie universe. It was going to reintroduce Michael Keaton as the classic movie Batman, and seemingly would have reconfigured DC continuity through the use of time travel and alternate timelines. (The film is based on a comics storyline called “Flashpoint,” where a character travels into the past and totally rewrites DC history.) The movie would have then led into future DC cinematic installments like a Batgirl movie that was also to co-star Keaton’s Batman.But you know what they say: Man plans, God laughs. Or, in…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write City Light, Starry Nights? Small town romance is a genre I happen to love. Since I live in small town, I guess it’s appropriate. Most of my catalog falls under sports romance, so I wanted to start a new “clean and wholesome” pen name with small towns. My brain raced with the ideas for this story, but it also rejected the idea of “clean and wholesome.” What came out was my spiciest book to date. What’s your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre…
Squad 3 is going to be without its lieutenant for an unspecified amount of time on Chicago Fire. Taylor Kinney, who has starred as Lieutenant Kelly Severide since the series premiere, has reportedly taken “a leave of absence to deal with a personal matter,” according to Deadline. News of the leave was delivered to the cast and crew on January 20. No other details have been revealed. According to the report, his absence will likely be addressed in-show, with rewrites to any scripts that were completed already. So how could Chicago Fire explain why Kinney’s Severide isn’t seen for however…
Science has long known that people living in what is now Siberia once walked (and later paddled boats) across the Bering Strait into North America. But new evidence now shows that these early migrations weren’t one-way trips: in a study published on Thursday in Current Biology, researchers say they have uncovered traces of Native American ancestry in the DNA of Siberians who lived centuries ago. This American heritage—still present in the genomes of some Siberians today—adds to a scattering of archeological evidence suggesting that North Americans were in contact with their northern Asian neighbors for thousands of years before Europeans…
Photography by Getty Images Y2K has finally gone too far. By Natalie Michie Date December 13, 2022 The year is 2005. Bedazzled Motorola Razrs are the definition of high-tech. Destiny’s Child is still together. Disney’s cinematic masterpiece, Ice Princess, has just hit the scene, and young Hollywood royalty is congregating to attend its premiere. Ashley Tisdale emerges onto the red carpet wearing a white graphic T-shirt that reads “Dream Bebe,” a pair of bootleg jeans, and a gold sequined mini-skirt layered over top. Just like that, history is made. What Tisdale didn’t know then (or did she?) is that her…

Generally “bomb” is not a word that movie studios like to hear used in proximity to their productions. But I think Universal will make an exception for Oppenheimer, the next film from Christopher Nolan. For the first time, Nolan has made a biopic (you could say Dunkirk was a historical film, as it is based on an actual battle from World War II, but the characters were largely fictional). His subject is Robert Oppenheimer, one of the key scientists in the Manhattan Project who helped invent the first atomic bomb; Oppenheimer is played by frequent Nolan collaborator Cillian Murphy.The first trailer for the movie began…

The fossilization process is an unrelenting slog of decay, compression and erosion that can take millions of years and favors the preservation of tough material such as bones, teeth and shells. But with a little bit of sticky tree resin and a lot of luck, delicate bits of plants and tiny critters can sometimes last for tens of millions of years. As the resin petrifies and turns into amber, it preserves whatever gets stuck inside of it—including insects, slime molds and even pint-sized dinosaurs—in a gold-tinted time capsule. A team of researchers recently rediscovered one particularly stunning amber inclusion stashed…
[Warning: This article contains spoilers from That ‘90s Show Season 1.] With the release of That ’90s Show on Netflix, fans of the original That ’70s Show can expect many Easter eggs scattered all over the 10 episodes. Set 15 years after the season finale of That ’70s Show, the sequel series finds Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) married and living in Chicago with a teenage daughter of their own named Leia (Callie Haverda) — an Easter egg in itself.

A good night’s sleep is vital for optimal health. Not getting enough shut-eye can affect a person’s mood and concentration the next day and it’s been linked to a greater risk of chronic conditions, according to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (opens in new tab). Many factors affect sleep, from a person’s wind-down routine to their environment. But if noise sometimes causes fragmented sleep, some people tout white noise as a potential solution. In theory, this low humming sound can help mask unwanted noises that disrupt sleep, thereby helping people to drift off. Yet research shows mixed results. So…
Dolly Parton has been wearing nude, fingerless gloves for a long time, but the internet has suddenly taken notice thanks to a viral TikTok posted by user hannahbearbraun, which features a clip of the 76-year-old American country star performing at the 37th annual Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony. In the video, Parton appears at the microphone at LA’s Microsoft Theater wearing a gemstone-embellished patent leather pantsuit, which coordinates perfectly with the decoration on her guitar and its strap. A close look at her hands does, in fact, offer a glimpse of the gloves, which she almost always…

Carbon, calcium, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon, sulfur, magnesium and potassium are the building blocks of almost all life on our planet (tree trunks, leaves, hairs, teeth, etc). However, to build the world of humans—including cities, health care products, railways, airplanes and their engines, computers, smartphones, and more—many more chemical elements are needed. A recent article, published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution and written by researchers from CREAF, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and the…
Winter can be really hard to dress for. Your first priority is usually warmth, and for me, comfort comes a close second, with style often taking a back seat. Add on some dark, uninspiring mornings, and my go-to outfits can easily become a combination of the cosiest items I lay my hands on when I first open my wardrobe. I presume I’m not alone in this winter outfit rut, so after recently browsing through H&M’s impressive new-in section, I thought it might be helpful to assemble four ready-made, affordable (but still chic) H&M winter outfits to inspire us all. Whether you’ve got festive events on the brain—from…
