The Huawei Band 7 looks to be the company’s direct competitor to the likes of the Fitbit Inspire 2, and packs a lot of tech into a very small, and very affordable product.It’s one of the best fitness trackers around right now, thanks to a combination of factors that belie its £49.99/$59.99 price tag (availability in the U.S. is through third-party sellers). It’s thin and light, but offers a bright, colorful OLED display that other cheaper bands simply cannot match. It’s easy to read, presents metrics in a pleasing way, and just feels more useful in direct sunlight than other…

Netflix has finally rolled out its first ad-tier subscription known as Basic with Ads, but the library has a few missing titles among its ranks. When the streamer announced the plan in October, there was a mention that certain series and films wouldn’t be available due to “licensing restrictions,” but it wasn’t clear what shows or movies would be among the casualties until now. While it would make sense for some fan-favorite shows to be excluded, it may surprise viewers to know that several Netflix original series aren’t available with this plan.

The trials could kickstart a transformation in the forestry sector. Surrounded by rows of healthy saplings grown using the latest LED technology, Scottish forestry researcher Kenny Hay has been left in little doubt that the science can boost Britain’s net zero efforts. The trays of young trees stacked nine metres (30 feet) high inside the James Hutton Institute near Dundee in eastern Scotland are budding proof for Hay and others that LED light can be relied on to speed up their growth. The specimens housed in the vertical farm unit there grew six times faster than using traditional outdoor planting…

By Jennifer Berry Date November 8, 2022 The 2022 Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Awards took place in New York City on November 7 and it was a star-studded event.

There she is, the new Black Panther. But who is behind the mask?The latest trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever doesn’t say explicitly, although it does strongly hint that it’s Shuri (Letitia Wright), the sister of T’Challa, the previous Black Panther (played by the late Chadwick Boseman). Of course it could still be Lupita Nyong’o’s Nakia or Danai Gururia’s Okoye — or even Dominique Thorne’s Ironheart, I suppose. But it’s definitely one of the female members of the cast in that suit.Besides the first look at the new Black Panther’s costume, this trailer also gives us more info on the conflict…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Fighting Chance: A 40-Year Journey from My Birth until My Brother’s Death? My brother and I came from a very abusive, dysfunctional home. Our father was dealing with mental health issues and heavily medicating with alcohol. He was very mean and vicious to his whole family. My older brother didn’t make it out of that abusive situation. Neither did my younger brother or mom. They all have passed away. I have gone on to success. And now that my father has passed away, I feel safe to share…

Rather than helping, lessons may be encouraging pupils to dwell on negative feelings without the necessary support to address them Mind | Comment 17 August 2022 , updated 22 August 2022 By Lucy Foulkes Michelle D’urbano TEENAGERS are experiencing a mental health crisis. I am not just talking about the increase in mental health problems that have been reported in them over the past decade or so. I am talking about what UK schools are being asked to do in response. Many secondary schools in the UK – which educate those aged 11 up to 18 – now teach mental…
Is there anything as gratifying as treating yourself to a new pair of boots come autumn? Opening up the box, pulling out the stuffing and getting a whiff of that fresh-boot smell? Just me? Moving swiftly on… Still, there’s no denying that boots form a pretty integral part of our aesthetics in the colder months. Over the past few years, I’ve made a point of making sound boot investments, choosing styles that prioritise timelessness over anything too trendy. However, that doesn’t mean that some boots don’t start to feel dated after a time—even pairs I know are pretty classic can lose…

A long-term study finds that seedling mortality increased when severe and prolonged drought occurred in Southeast Asian seasonally dry tropical forests, which are deemed more drought-tolerant than tropical rainforests. Global climate change may lead to more extreme weather events such as droughts. To predict the impact of climate change on tropical forests, it is necessary to understand more accurately the effects of drought. El Niño often reduces rainfall and causes drier forests in the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. Since tropical rainforests there usually experience rainfall year-round with no dry season, El Niño-induced drought increases tree mortality. Seasonally dry tropical…

Scientists analysing the effects of an organic compound on drug resistance bacteria have discovered how it can inhibit and kill a germ that causes serious illness or in some cases death. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a type of bacteria, often found in hospital patients, which can lead to infections in the blood, lungs (pneumonia), or other parts of the body after surgery. Hydroquinine, an organic compound found in the bark of some trees, was recently found to have bacterial killing activity against the germ and several other clinically important bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. The team behind…
Photography Courtesy of ImaxTree With the use of unconventional materials and catwalk comedy, this season’s runways mastered the art of buzz. By Natalie Michie Date September 27, 2022 When things get tough, sometimes all you need is a good distraction. This was the unofficial tagline at Milan Fashion Week Spring 2023. From doppelgänger styling at Gucci to chaotic collapsing models at Avavav, shock-factor fashion was in full effect — and proved to be more powerful than ever. Of course, it wouldn’t be Fashion Week without nods to the current cultural climate. Across the Italian city, runways referenced the anxiety we’re…

The results of the trial, stopped early due to the significance of the findings, were presented in a late-breaking session at the World Stroke Congress and simultaneously published in The Lancet. Professor Craig Anderson, Director of Global Brain Health at The George Institute for Global Health, said the rapid emergence of this effect suggested the more aggressive approach was compromising the return of blood flow to the affected area. “Our study provides a strong indication that this increasingly common treatment strategy should now be avoided in clinical practice,” he said. Around 85 percent of strokes are ischaemic strokes, caused by…
The day that comfortable shoes came back in style was probably one of the happiest days of my life. OK, I’ll admit I’m being a little dramatic, but it really isn’t far from the truth. I love wearing comfortable shoes, whether it’s dad sneakers, strappy sandals (with lots of support), or most recently: clogs. I never thought I would be someone who was into clogs, but the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clog ($150–$155) completely changed my mind. (The colorway I own is currently sold out, but they’re also available in tons of other colors and styles.) You’ve probably seen your…
