For the so-called “most romantic birds on Earth,” bold behavior is key to a lasting relationship. In a paper published today in Royal Society Biology Letters, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) demonstrate a clear connection between personality in wandering albatross (Diomedea exulans) and the likelihood of divorce. Though the link between personality and relationship outcomes in humans is well-established, this is the first study to do so with animals. Making use of long-term studies of wandering albatross on Possession Island, part of the Crozet archipelago in the Southern Indian Ocean, the authors found that bolder male birds…

In July, the Google executive who oversees the company’s lucrative and dominant search engine made a surprising admission. Younger users were diverting questions that would once have naturally flowed to the iconic search box to social networks, Prabhakar Raghavan said at a Forbes conference. Take the example of where to go for lunch: Google’s studies found that nearly 40 percent of people age 18 to 24 would look to Instagram or TikTok, not Google Search or Maps, to answer that question.Today, Google announced changes to its search and maps to feature more images and video in search results—including from TikTok.…

The paper, “It’s a lonely old world”: Developing a multidimensional understanding of loneliness in farming,” is published in the journal Sociologia Ruralis. Researchers from the University of Exeter’s Centre for Rural Policy Research and national charity The Farming Community Network (FCN) carried out in-depth interviews with 22 farmers/members of farming families and six farm support practitioners in England, conducted either by telephone or video-call between March…

Growing up and watching beautiful women compete for a sash and tiara on TV, “I thought I was a bit too awkward for pageants,” Zuri Hall recalls. Clearly not, because the Access Hollywood personality and American Ninja Warrior sideline reporter is now in her second year hosting Miss USA. During the broadcast from Reno, she’ll be working with sideline hosts Julissa Bermudez and Micah Jesse. The event will see women from all 50 states and the District of Columbia compete in a series of categories: private interview, swimsuit, evening gown, and onstage question.

The rules of style often dictate restraint, but based on the winter 2022 fashion trends, there were no such inhibitions. Even the jewelry at the fall/winter 2022 fashion shows went toe-to-toe with blocky shoulder pads, oversized jackets, sparkly tops, clashing prints, and blinding neon fabrics, almost out-competing the clothes for attention. But the metals and gemstones themselves communicated a message: Winter jewelry might be hurtling toward the ostentatious, but not by reinventing the wheel. All of this season’s hottest jewelry styles are remixes of classics, which means they’re not only easier to find and purchase at an affordable price point,…

Investigators across Europe, including intelligence agencies, will now be trying to piece together exactly who and what caused the apparent explosions. This is likely to involve multiple steps, such as examining what data is held about the area, including seismic data and other sensors, checking whether any communications around the incident have been intercepted, and examining the pipelines to see if there are any signs of intentional destruction.Neither of the pipes is operational—Nord Stream 1 was paused for repairs in August and Nord Stream 2 has not officially opened after Germany pulled support for it ahead of Russia’s full-scale invasion…

Over the course of evolution, immense megafauna have roamed the lands or swum in the seas. The growth of these creatures early in their life is typically quite rapid. It has to be. They need to grow fast or be eaten. Extensive studies on megafauna have addressed the unique challenges of supporting and moving such massive bodies. But the greatest and largely ignored obstacle to extreme growth for both terrestrial and aquatic megafauna may involve the rapid development of their nervous system. Unlike all other cell types, neurons do not increase tissue volume by cell division but rather by expanding…

When Jim Parsons announced his exit from The Big Bang Theory, there was some behind-the-scenes drama. Parsons decided in 2018, ahead of Season 12, that he was ready to move on from the megahit comedy. “I don’t think there was a part of me that actually thought I would do more seasons [of Big Bang] after the twelfth,” Parsons explained in the oral history book The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series by Jessica Radloff. “I was ready to… get out of the security of the show to fully find out what was next…

Tiny crystals in ancient animal dung serve as key evidence in a new analysis suggesting the possibility that hunter-gatherers at Abu Hureyra, Syria, may have tended small numbers of animals just outside their dwellings between 12,800 and 12,300 years ago. Alexia Smith of the University of Connecticut, U.S., and colleagues present these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on September 14, 2022. Abu Hureyra is an archaeological site that was occupied for thousands of years, spanning the transition from hunting and gathering to farming and herding. While a large body of research has explored this transition across many archaeological…

While I genuinely believe that anyone can wear absolutely anything so long as they feel comfortable doing so, being petite does present its own unique set of dressing challenges. That doesn’t mean anything is off-limits. Still, as a 5’3″ fashion editor who has also helped countless other petite women hone their aesthetics, I know that it’s not quite as easy for us to copy and paste every trend onto our frames—at least, not without a bit of extra consideration. Often, I’ll reach out to my petite followers on Instagram and ask them which trend or piece they could use some styling pointers…

Virgin River is one of Netflix’s buzziest series. Fans were shocked earlier this year when Virgin River Season 4 wrapped up with several cliffhangers. Thankfully, the cast is hard at work on the forthcoming fifth season, which will feature the 50th episode. Martin Henderson, who plays Jack on the soapy drama, took to Instagram earlier this month to celebrate. “We just completed shooting the 50th episode of Virgin River. Who knew we’d all still be here telling this wholesome love story for the ages?” the star wrote. “Big congrats to our extremely hard-working crew and our talented delightful cast for…

Since arriving on the scene a few years prior, Lil Nas X has broken free from gender norms, particularly in the realm of style. There was his lilac off-the-shoulder pantsuit with a dramatic train at the 2021 VMAs, courtesy of Versace; his barely there Balmain bandage top at a Variety event in late 2021; and the various sparkly miniskirts and crop tops he’s worn in concert, just to name a few. As Lil Nas X recently told People, “Style is a form of self-expression,” and wearing skirts in particular is empowering for the “Montero” singer. “I felt like I was…

The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) of Brazil has launched an open public consultation on a proposal to make USB Type-C chargers standard for all smartphones sold in the country. The European Union earlier this month finalised a common charging port for mobile phones, tablets, headphones, and cameras. However, Anatel’s new proposal covers only smartphones. The legislation would affect Apple, as the company still uses a proprietary port instead of the USB Type-C. Apple’s iPhone models are charged from a lightning cable while Android-based devices are mostly powered using USB Type-C connectors.Anatel this week opened a public consultation (45/2022) for assessing…

Imagine a creature shaped somewhat like a toilet brush scuttling along the seafloor around 500 million years ago, near what is now southwestern China. Now picture that toilet brush with eyes bobbing on stalks; a pair of spike-lined armlike appendages; and a tail fan with long, sweeping blades, and you’ll have a pretty good image of a newly described animal weirdo that lived during the Cambrian period (541 million to 485.4 million years ago).  Scientists found the fossil specimens — one of which was a near-complete youngster — in 1990 in the Chengjiang Lagerstätte, a site in China’s Yunnan province.…
