One hundred miles north of Philadelphia, the Billion Oyster Project has been restoring the bivalves in New York Harbor since 2010, engaging more than 10,000 volunteers and 6,000 students in the project. Oyster nurseries are being installed in Belfast Lough in Northern Ireland, where until recently they were believed to have been extinct for a century. And a hatchery 30 miles west of Chicago has dispersed 25,000 mussels into area waterways, boosting the populations of common freshwater mussel species.Underwater vegetation restoration projects have been underway in the Chesapeake Bay and Tampa Bay for years, and more recently in California where…
Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Nitrous oxide may be much less abundant in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide, but as a greenhouse gas, it’s a doozy. With a potency 300 times greater than CO2, nitrous oxide’s warming potential, especially via agriculture, demands attention. University of Illinois and University of Minnesota researchers are answering the call. In a new study, they document an overlooked but crucial timeframe for nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions in U.S. Midwest agricultural systems: the non-growing season. “Nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soils have mostly been studied during the growing season. Previous research shows non-growing season N2O emissions can…

It was scheduled to run Sept. 13-18 at Broadway Theatre in New York.”I just learned that our Broadway shows have been cancelled (due to low ticket sales and unbelievably high expenses),” Cuomo said on Discord, according to Pitchfork.He continued,…
Kids growing up in the ’80s and ’90s dreamed that one day Hollywood would figure out how to make movies that looked as exciting as the comics Marvel and DC printed every single month. Back then, the one complaint leveled constantly against the rare comic-book movies that did get made was “They’re nothing like the comics!” It was true, too. Even the good comic-book movies of the era like Batman often played very fast and loose in adapting comics to the silver screen. After all, superheroes were silly stuff for children. They would never work if you just directly translated the source material, right?Today, of the ten biggest domestic films in history,…

Christopher Intagliata: Artificial intelligence systems have bested humans at chess, poker, Jeopardy, Go, and countless other games. But machines still aren’t that great at understanding some basic rules about the physical world. Susan Hespos: They still can’t do what 3-month-olds do. And I’m a champion for babies at the end of the day and this is a clear win for babies. Babies are still slam dunking our most powerful computers when it comes to intuitive physics. Intagliata: Cognitive psychologist Susan Hespos of Northwestern University listed off a few examples of those “intuitive physics” principles. Like “solidity” – your coffee cup…

Gamers and other users of high-end PC graphics cards (crypto miners, video editors) are experiencing an unusual kind of sticker shock lately: Prices on the hardware have dropped so low, so quickly, that it seems like something’s wrong.Just a year ago, gamers who wanted to switch from an older graphics card to a newer-generation board containing GPUs like Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 3080 or AMD’s Radeon RX 6800 XT simply couldn’t find them without paying a huge Ebay markup or getting lucky when a trickle of supply turned up at retailers like Best Buy or Newegg.The tide has turned. As anticipation…
It’s one of the biggest-selling albums of all time, but Metallica’s self-titled disc (aka “The Black Album”) marked a major turning point for the band long before it was released on Aug. 12, 1991. It was the first solid indication Metallica were no longer interested in writing pure thrash metal and wanted to reach a much larger, more mainstream audience.The success of the “One” video from …And Justice for All helped Metallica rise to the top of the metal heap. At the risk of alienating some of its most loyal fans the band decided to join forces with uber-producer Bob Rock and…
Fans still have a few days to watch GoodFellas on Netflix.Starting Wednesday, August 31, Netflix subscribers won’t be able to watch GoodFellas anymore.

For readers of romance novels with explicit sex scenes, beloved books have been derided as smut for ages. Scores of romance readers have kept their habits secret, fearing judgment about their intellects, their tastes, even their own sex lives. Reclaiming the word disarms it, making the term a badge of honor rather than an insult. This reclamation within the romance reading community fascinates me. First, it skips over one common defense of romance, namely…

Using skin biopsy samples, investigators found that patients with severe COVID-19 had clots in small venous and arterial blood vessels in skin that appears normal. This was not seen in the skin of patents with other types of severe infectious lung disease, or in individuals with only mild or moderate COVID-19. Their findings appear in The American Journal of Pathology, published by Elsevier. The researchers document, for the first time in premortem evidence, that a minimally invasive skin biopsy can help assess tissue damage related to COVID-19 as well as help distinguish this blood vessel pathology from other forms of…
“I have secret boobs. I do—32Cs. It’s just I have such clavicle issues, I don’t like them on show.” This was something Alexa Chung said in a 2011 interview with British Vogue that not only stuck with me throughout my twenties, but confirmed in some small way that how I was dressing at the time (hiding my own 34C boobs) was, in fact, considered chic.For years, I have tried to compress my chest (usually with no-wire triangle bras that flatten rather than add lift), or hide my breasts in oversized oxford shirts, loose-fitting cashmere sweaters, and baggy white T-shirts tucked…

As students go back to school, a host of new laws in Florida will change the access they have to books in their classrooms and libraries. Florida is the epicenter of Moms For Liberty, who have been instrumental in book bans across the country and have developed their own home-grown system of book ratings. It comes as little surprise the group has had tremendous influence in the state, alongside other “parents rights” groups like Florida Citizens Alliance. It is, however, the few speaking on behalf of the majority in each and every one of these cases. While Moms and similar…
NBC, as we know it, could soon be over. According to the Wall Street Journal, the broadcast network may stop programming the 10–11 pm hour, meaning there would be seven fewer hours per week of NBC shows. The network currently airs Law & Order: Organized Crime, New Amsterdam, Quantum Leap, and Chicago P.D. in the 10 pm slot. News of such a move would eliminate the need for as many shows, meaning the network could potentially say goodbye to some of its well-watched series. This would also put a spanner in the works for the all-One Chicago Wednesdays and all-Law…
Several antiviral drugs kill viruses by inducing lots of mutations, but a computer model suggests this could have unpredictable consequences Health 26 August 2022 By Michael Le Page Several mutagenic drugs are in use for treating virusesemegaflopp/Shutterstock The use of antiviral drugs that kill viruses by inducing lots of mutations should be restricted because of potential dangers highlighted by new research, some researchers say. Computer modelling suggests these drugs could result in viruses acquiring changes they wouldn’t otherwise and in a way that lab testing will miss. All organisms continually mutate and most of these mutations are detrimental. Harmful mutations…

A domestic assault case brought against Michelle Branch earlier this month has been dropped, according to online records viewed by Pitchfork. Branch was arrested and booked for domestic assault on August 11. The singer had accused her husband—the Black Keys’ Patrick Carney—of cheating in a since-deleted tweet.

A strain-sensing smart skin developed at Rice University that uses very small structures, carbon nanotubes, to monitor and detect damage in large structures is ready for prime time. The “strain paint” first revealed by Rice in 2012 uses the fluorescent properties of nanotubes to show when a surface has been deformed by stress. Now developed as part of a non-contact optical monitoring system known as S4, the multilayered coating can be applied to large surfaces — bridges, buildings, ships and airplanes, for starters — where high strain poses an invisible threat. The project led by Rice chemist Bruce Weisman, structural…
