Barack Obama is getting in on the fun of list season by sharing his favorite songs of 2022. Some one may have taken a peak at our own top songs list (hi, Obama!), as the former president included five of our favorites: SZA’s “Shirt,” Ethel Cain’s “American Teenager,” Danger Mouse and Black Thought’s “Belize” featuring MF DOOM, Plains’ “Problem With It,” and Zach Bryan’s “Something in the Orange.” Sadly, our favorite song of the year — Paramore’s “This Is Why” — did not make Obama’s list. #JusticeForParamore. Obama’s list also includes songs like Lizzo’s “About Damn Time,” Rosalía’s “SAOKO,” Beyoncé’s…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Gingerbread and Gunshots : A small town culinary cozy mystery.? This is book 7 in the Maple Lane Mysteries and I had recently written the prequel about my bakers time living in Manhattan. The story of her friend coming to visit Maple Falls just came to me.

Theme from “Agatha Christie’s Marple” – Dominik Scherrer What’s your favorite…
The TV world is filled with many successes and many duds. That especially rings true for the Science Fiction/Fantasy genres, as they are very easy to mess up. Luckily, 2022 brought us a lot of high-quality entertainment under the umbrella! From HBO to Netflix, there were a bunch of different Networks that aired these high-quality series. Check out what made our list below! House of the Dragon (HBO) The first Game of Thrones spin-off to see the light of day started slow, but our patience was rewarded in the second half of the season.

The distribution of calving outcomes, including heifer calvings. Credit: Preventive Veterinary Medicine (2022). DOI: 10.1016/j.prevetmed.2022.105812 A small percentage of cows will experience problems when calving and breeders would like to know which cows are at risk. Using the vast dataset of the Dutch cattle breeding company CRV, computer scientists at the University of Groningen used artificial intelligence to develop a predictive model that in theory could halve the number of calving problems. They published their results in Preventive Veterinary Medicine. Cattle breeding is data science. Breeding firms provide semen from bulls and register the success of their offspring. Data on…
It’s no secret that we Who What Wear editors love to find great value buys on the high street. If you shop wisely and look out for good-quality, classic pieces, you can really uncover some expensive-looking gems that will work in your wardrobe for a long time. Yes, it might make sense to invest more in things like a luxury leather bag, cashmere knit or hard-wearing boots to ensure their longevity. But there are some key staples I always turn to the high street for. Things like denim, shirting and—what we’re here to talk about today—coats. Honestly, I’ve found some of my favourite,…
In the study, the researchers also took tissue samples from some mice after euthanizing them and found increased activity of genes that produce the proteins in the brain responsible for the stress response. “It is interesting to notice that these effects are present after a brief exposure of two weeks to a high-salt diet,” says Giuseppe Faraco, an assistant professor of neuroscience at Weill Cornell Medicine, who studies the link between salt and cognitive impairment but wasn’t involved in this study. What Faraco would have liked to have seen, however, is data on how the overactivation of these key genes relates…

Mrs. Sinden by Thomas Richards To this day, it’s still hard to imagine that a book entitled Memoirs of a Geisha was written by a man (Arthur Golden). The same for Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All (Allan Gurganus). Those two authors, whose books debuted near the turn of the past century, were hardly the first to cross the gender gap as men writing in first person as a female character. Now add to that list the newly launching Mrs. Sinden (Global Collective Publishers) by Thomas Richards, a former English and American Literature and Language Associate Professor at Harvard and…
The Sister Wives fallout continues. As viewers have seen in the TLC show’s 17th season, Christine Brown left ex-husband Kody Brown, and cut ties with former sister wife, Robyn Brown, in so doing. And a new clip from the reality show’s upcoming “One on One” episodes shows that Christine also ended her friendship with Meri Brown, Kody’s first wife. The clip, which TODAY.com shared last week, starts with Meri, who shares one child with Kody, telling host Sukanya Krishnan that she felt stung by Christine’s decision to leave Kody and move to Utah. “I felt very betrayed by her and…
One of the two “compass proteins” (POLAR, in pink) orients the future cell division. In gray are cell outlines on the developing leaf. Credit: Michael T. Raissig Grasses have “respiratory pores” (called stomata) that open and close to regulate the uptake of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis on the one hand and water loss through transpiration on the other. Unlike many other plants, stomata in grasses form lateral “helper cells.” Thanks to these cells, the stomata of grasses can open and close more quickly, which optimizes plant-atmosphere gas exchange and thus saves water. For the current study, Prof. Dr. Michael Raissig,…
It was around 2:30 on a Saturday afternoon this May, according to court documents, when Payton Gendron gunned down 32-year-old Roberta Drury outside a Tops supermarket in Buffalo, New York. It is impossible to know exactly what crossed Gendron’s mind in that moment, but if a manifesto published under his name is any indication, he might have noticed Drury’s golden skin and dark curly hair, and intuited that some of her ancestors—maybe 20 generations ago—had called sub-Saharan Africa home. He would have taken this lineage as an indication of her character: The manifesto asserted that people from that part of…
Jonathan StoreyGetty Images Just in case you didn’t know already, you can buy almost every single makeup item you need from Amazon. I’m all for spending a pretty penny or two on the latest and greatest eyeshadow palette, but when I’m on a budget, Amazon has everything you need to create a stellar makeup bag, from classic hits to newfound must-haves.

Testing the strip. Credit: UPV A team from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV), the Universitat de València (UV), and the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red sobre Enfermedades Raras (CIBERER) has developed a lateral flow test that identifies and quantifies the level of allergens reliably in food with the help of a smartphone. The work has been published in the journal Biosensors. “Food allergy or hypersensitivity is estimated to affect about 520 million people worldwide. These reactions occur mainly through the consumption of foods containing trace allergens. Therefore, identifying and quantifying them before the food is consumed is essential,…

In 2023, the relentless increase in global heating will continue, bringing ever more disruptive weather that is the signature calling card of accelerating climate breakdown. According to NASA, 2022 was one of the hottest years ever recorded on Earth. This is extraordinary, because the recurrent climate pattern across the tropical Pacific—known as ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation)—was in its cool phase. During this phase, called La Niña, the waters of the equatorial Pacific are noticeably cooler than normal, which influences weather patterns around the world.One consequence of La Niña is that it helps keep a lid on global temperatures. This means…

The demand for live entertainment continues to grow, and there are more promoters than ever working with artists to help them connect with fans through live shows.

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write She Captures My Heart? The Native American Medicine Man has always intrigued me because he was known to be able to heal people with natural remedies, as well as to help them become well by means of rhythm and song. Sometimes the medicine man was known to be able to see into the future and often he was aware of what was in the environment for many miles around him. The old Native American Scout also had this ability. There is a lot we don’t today know about these…

A once-promising hint of new physics from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the world’s largest particle accelerator, has melted away, quashing one of physicists’ best hopes for a major discovery. The apparent anomaly was an unexpected difference between the behaviour of electrons and that of their more-massive cousins, muons, when they arise from the decay of certain particles. But the latest results from the LHCb experiment at CERN—Europe’s particle-physics laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, which hosts the LHC—suggest that electrons and muons are produced at the same rate after all. “My first impression is that the analysis is much more robust…
