This May Be Difficult to Read: But You Really Should (for your child’s sake) by Dr. Claire N. Rubman When I was a child, I could play the piano by ear. If I could whistle a tune, I could play it on the piano. My parents recognized this and got me taking lessons at a young age. I was pretty good. Grownups were really impressed. This kid’s going places, they’d say. You know where I went? Nowhere. Is it possible my learning skills, as far as the piano was concerned, peaked too early? As I got older, when you might…

Finally, Beau comes to the fore. Beau Finado, the lab’s older yet new criminologist, was in the spotlight on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 11. Like Chris Park on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 10, Beau learned things about himself that he hadn’t considered when he switched to becoming a CSI. Since his debut on CSI: Vegas Season 2 Episode 1, it was evident that Beau wasn’t your average newbie in the crime lab. He explained that he had had an epiphany during the pandemic and wanted to contribute more to society than better cleaning agents working for a chemical company.…

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona Cube-shaped snow, icy landscapes, and frost are all part of the Red Planet’s coldest season. When winter comes to Mars, the surface is transformed into a truly otherworldly holiday scene. Snow, ice, and frost accompany the season’s sub-zero temperatures. Some of the coldest of these occur at the planet’s poles, where it gets as low as minus 190 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 123 degrees Celsius). Cold as it…
In the last year, I have gone completely mad for cream makeup formulations. Whether I’m sweeping a cream eyeshadow stick along my lash line or dabbing a cream blusher on the apples of my cheeks, I’ve realised they’re the quickest and most effective way to look ‘done up’ with very minimal effort. Plus, they’re super easy to blend with your fingers, and I am someone who generally prefers getting hands on with makeup over using an army of tools and brushes. Anyone else with me?In winter, and especially during party season, there’s one cream product that reigns supreme: A trusty cream…
Dyson doesn’t stick to chronological order when naming its stick vacuum models. Sometimes it skips numbers, and sometimes it’ll introduce a lower number as a later model than a higher number. For example, Dyson introduced the V15 immediately after the V11, and then the V12 after the V15. In the broadest sense, the numbers seem to loosely grow larger with each passing release—the V11 is newer than the V10, and the V10 is newer than the V8. But Dyson’s naming system is cryptic enough that even we can’t predict what the subsequent model will be.Dyson also has a lot of…
The Pitch: The video game adaptation remains an albatross around the neck of many a film and TV producer. For every Silent Hill, there’s a dozen or so Wing Commanders; TV’s no different, even as recently as last year’s weaksauce Halo series for Paramount+. But HBO hopes to break the mold with The Last of Us, their prestige-drama take on the acclaimed Naughty Dog game of the same name. If you’ve played that game, or its divisive sequel (or watched The Walking Dead or any other zombie media over the past few decades), the premise is pretty familiar: The world has been ravaged by a…

Only two spacecraft have ever left our solar system and lived to tell the tale. In 2012 and 2019, NASA’s Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft respectively broke through the heliopause, the boundary at which our sun’s sphere of influence gives way to the interstellar medium. They have sent back remarkable riches from this distant location, humanity’s first foray into the limitless bounds beyond our solar system’s edge. In hot pursuit, however, is a far more advanced vehicle, sporting improved instruments, updated optics, and even a means to sample the interstellar medium itself. New Horizons was launched from Earth in 2006…
You probably know by now that a fragrance can really set the scene or give off a certain vibe. That’s especially true with perfumes. The fragrance you choose can dictate what kind of aura you want to put across. So do you want to feel carefree and flirty? Maybe you want to go for something that’s fruity or citrusy. Want to give off a traditional floral vibe? Or maybe your goal is to feel incredibly sexy. Well, for that I’d recommend something spicy. It’s all about matching the fragrance to your mood.So in autumn and winter, I tend to gravitate toward fragrances that are cosy…

Some remakes can deviate from the source material, but that allegedly won’t be the case for the upcoming Silent Hill 2 remake. According to a recent interview from Bloober Team, the horror title will still stay faithful to the 2001 original. Chief Marketing Officer Anna Jasińska spoke more about this title in an interview with DreadXP. When asked about recreating a horror game, especially without as many limitations, Jasińska explained that Bloober wasn’t deviating heavily from the path that Team Silent took over two decades ago. “We are focusing on bringing the distinct, visceral atmosphere back in the modernized Silent…

For as long as there have been vaccines, there has been vaccine misinformation—and surprisingly often it has focused on fertility. The COVID vaccines have been no exception. False claims that vaccination provokes the immune system to attack the placenta circulated even before the vaccines were available. No sooner had data been presented to disprove these claims than others sprang up. Despite extensive evidence that COVID vaccination does not harm fertility, these unfounded rumors were a major source of vaccine hesitancy among young women. When people began reporting menstrual changes after COVID vaccination in early 2021, it would have been easy…

While 2022 was undoubtedly the year BTS shocked the world with their announcements of moving onto a “Chapter Two” and planning their individual military enlistments, there’s still a massive amount of records, achievements and moments that demonstrate why BTS are superstars without precedent in the global music industry.

From never-before-achieved feats with the Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry to breaking box-office and concert-gross records (not to mention hanging out in the…
Many Disney animated classics have retained immense relevance in the years since their release. Films like Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and The Little Mermaid have a timeless quality that has led to multiple generations growing up with them as though each movie had just come out. One production that Disney made in 1996, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, hasn’t enjoyed this same level of mainstream permanence. It’s a shame, as it’s undoubtedly one of the bravest and best movies that Disney has ever made. So now, on January 6 — the day that the picture’s “Feast of Fools” takes…
