Bode (Max Thieriot) is determined to not be like he used to in order to secure an early release on Fire Country, but that’s easier said than done. In TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the December 2 episode, he and inmate Rebecca (Fiona Rene) not only exchange stories about what led them to fire camp but also, while cleaning up at a scene, may have just come across the exact item that’s going to cause some trouble for his crew in “Happy to Help.” “More fires get you out faster. Obviously that’s why we’re all here. But there are…
This year’s flu shots appear to be a “very good match” to the circulating influenza strains, health officials say. However, even though flu season got off to an unusually early start, vaccination rates, especially among adults, are lagging those seen this time last year. “I can tell you firsthand: This year’s flu season is off to a rough start,” Dr. Sandra Fryhofer (opens in new tab), the board chair of the American Medical Association and an internist, told reporters during a news conference (opens in new tab) Monday (Dec. 5). “We’ve forgotten how bad the flu can be. But this year’s…
As we get older, it’s only natural that we lean towards hair changes. If you’ve sported a long, straight look for most of your adult life, it’s totally normal to want to chop it all off into a shorter style as you start to creep towards your 50s. This is normal not just because tastes and fashions change but also because, much like our skin, our hair ages too. “At the scalp, we may find dryness, sensitivity and slackness, and in the hair, we may see dullness, brittleness and thinning,” says Nicky Lazou, Kérastase expert and celebrity hairstylist. For these reasons, switching up your signature…

On average, students experience an estimated total of 102 alcohol-related consequences, such as blacking out, being hung over, or missing work or school, due to drinking across their four years in college, according to a new study led by Penn State. The research also revealed that students who think their parents disapprove of the consequences of drinking are likely to experience fewer negative consequences from drinking during college. “We often think of peers as having an influence on drinking behaviors, but we found that parents can make a difference, even after their child has left home,” said Kimberly Mallett, research…

I love autumn. As summer comes to a close, the mere mention of browning leaves and creamy hot cocoa is enough to send me rummaging through my wardrobe to rediscover all my cosy cold-weather clothes. Goodbye, cotton dresses and strappy sandals. While I’m always careful not to unnecessarily add to my ridiculous mountain of knitwear, I can’t help but take a peek at which fresh trends are emerging this time of year and how my favourite designers are interpreting them.No doubt about it: This year’s trends are good. So good I’ve composed a fantasy wish list that would likely cost the value of a small house to fulfil.…
“Has NHTSA worked independently, or in collaboration with cities or other local governments to limit or prevent Chinese-owned companies from collecting sensitive information from American infrastructure, including information about sensitive government or military facilities, and subsequently sharing such information abroad?” Pfluger writes.China has certainly had that anxiety about American-made smart and electric vehicles. Earlier this year, for example, Beijing placed firm restrictions on where Teslas could drive, particularly around military installations, amid high-level Communist Party meetings.Pfluger highlights in his letter that China could use “autonomous and connected vehicles as a pathway to incorporate their systems and technology into our country’s infrastructure.” The…
Jay Leno remains hospitalized, but is in “good” condition after suffering second and third degree burns when one of his vintage cars exploded last weekend. In an interview with Inside Edition, Dr. Peter Grossman, the physician treating Leno at Grossman Burn Center, said that the 72-year-old comedian sustained “fairly significant” burns to his face, hands, and chest. Leno already had one skin graft surgery, with a second procedure scheduled for later in the week. He’s also receiving “very aggressive” hyperbaric oxygen therapy — a treatment that decreases swelling and bacteria. Grossman anticipates that Leno will make a full recovery, but…

Christmas time is supposed to be about coming together with loved ones, giving back, and lighthearted movies with a message. But if you’re naughty and lamenting the passing of Halloween, you can be a Grinch and watch some special holiday horror movies instead. Although your typical Xmas movie focuses on the Christmas spirit and a lesson in morals, these scary movies remind us of how society subverts those surface-level sentiments every year. That’s because Christmas is also about commercialism, lying, and pretending, and these flicks deconstruct those themes as well, with lessons of their own. Cynicism aside, the choices below…

Amazon, Microsoft, and Intel said this week that customers were taking an axe to cloud and datacentre spending, in a further sign that large companies may be girding against an imminent recession. Cloud services for years has been one of the largest and most dependable sources of growth for some of the biggest tech companies, including during the pandemic as people worked and studied from home. Now investors are looking to see whether there is a glut in capacity that will lead to investment cuts as companies deal with rising costs amid soaring inflation, while interest rate increases have squeezed…
A talent manager who allegedly helped artists like Vampire Weekend and Marshmello gain access to $200 million in COVID-19 relief funds is the target of a new lawsuit that claims he stole the idea to tap those government funds — aimed primarily at helping venues, not artists — from somebody else. In a complaint filed Wednesday (Nov. 30) in Los Angeles court, longtime music agent Laurence Leader says he was the first to realize that artists might also be able to access Shuttered Venue Operators Grants, a COVID-era federal program that gave out more than $14 billion to help live…
Before Walt Disney created Mickey Mouse, he created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit for Universal Pictures. The character, who became one of Disney’s first big animated hits, starred in a series of shorts beginning in 1927. Within a year, Disney lost control of the character. That’s when he created Mickey. The rest, as they say, was history.Oswald remained outside the Disney company for decades, until a very peculiar deal in 2006, when then (and now) Disney CEO Bob Iger essentially traded broadcaster Al Michaels to NBCUniversal in exchange for the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. In the years since, Oswald…

Researchers at the University of Amsterdam have developed a novel approach to infrared spectroscopy that enables simultaneous characterization of molecular structure and size. Called Infrared Diffusion-Ordered Spectroscopy (IR-DOSY), the method nicely separates molecules with different sizes into distinct sets of IR peaks. Reporting on IR-DOSY in a paper that has just been accepted by Angewandte Chemie, the researchers foresee analytical applications in fields as diverse as proteins, polymers, pharmaceuticals and biomedicine. They are currently developing a first version of a practical chemical probe implementing the IR-DOSY concept. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is an important workhorse in the analysis of chemical compounds.…

While Christmas is not, in actuality, a holiday I specifically celebrate, it is a day of the year that I really enjoy. Even where I live, in the very un-wintery Los Angeles, Christmas does have a unique air about it. The streets empty and all the transplants depart town, leaving L.A. empty and still for this one day out of the year. And this stillness, to me, is the perfect atmosphere for curling up with a stack of books and some tea, and having a cozy day all to myself. This year, let’s make Christmas — or any of the…
