As a journalist, I have put a lot of effort into trying to get some time in with the French makeup artist-turned-brand-founder, wanting to pick her brains on anything and everything makeup. Having followed her for years on Instagram, barely a working day has gone by that hasn’t involved me fawning over her low-key, but impossibly chic, makeup looks. However, being one of the most in-demand people in beauty, pencilling any sort of time in with her appeared so difficult that I had almost given up.But when news broke in the beauty world that Violette had been appointed Creative Director of Makeup at Guerlain (a French beauty powerhouse,…

You can really find a variety of different mythology retellings in most of the genres. Take for example the Percy Jackson franchise and the success it has had. Another big Greek myth that is often seen in media is the Abduction of Persephone. While the myth is rather problematic in its original form, authors have taken it and created stories that have touched our hearts from the very first page. For the mythology…
Chief John Suarez (Jimmy Smits) thought Deputy Inspector Regina Haywood (Amanda Warren) might need his help, but as TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the November 20 episode of East New York shows, he may have made things worse — for her. In “CompStat Interruptus,” Suarez speaks up during CompStat, and after, he goes to see her in her office. “Now is not the best time for us to talk about it,” she tells him. That doesn’t matter. “Well, whether it is or it is not, Inspector, now is the time we’re going to talk about it,” he says, closing…
Nonlinear relation between temperature and yield for the (A) Midwest-Rainfed, (B) Midwest-Irrigated, and (C) Northwest-Irrigated. Graphs at the top of each frame display changes in log yield if the crop is exposed for one day (24 h) to a particular 1 °C temperature interval. Exposure (days) was calculated as the sum of the fraction of a day during which temperatures fall within each interval. The 95% confidence intervals are shown by gray shaded area. Histograms at the bottom of each frame display the average temperature exposure for all yield observations in each production region. Credit: Scientific Reports (2022).

Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi hoped on Friday that Twitter would now act against hate speech, check facts more robustly and not stifle the voice of the opposition in India, soon after billionaire Elon Musk took over the social media giant and fired four of its top executives.Gandhi’s Twitter handle was temporarily locked after he shared a picture of a rape victim and received a notice from the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). He had not used his account on the microblogging website for some time after that. The Congress leader has been using his Twitter handle…
Bob Dylan has apologized to fans who purchased what they believed to be hand-signed copies of his new book, The Philosophy of Modern Song, but were later revealed to contain reproductions of the songwriter’s signature. He took to social media on Friday (November 25) to address the issue, claiming that he used an autopen for the signatures after a “bad case of vertigo” made him unable to sign some of the $599 books.“I’ve been made aware that there’s some controversy about signatures on some of my recent artwork prints and on a limited-edition of Philosophy of Modern Song,” he wrote…

For citizen science to be truly inclusive it must engage all age groups, including children. Credit: Shutterstock Citizen science is touted as a way for the general public to contribute to producing new knowledge. But citizen science volunteers don’t always represent a broad cross-section of society. Rather, they’re often white, male, middle-aged, educated and already interested in science. This lack of representation has several problems. It can undermine the potential of citizen science to bridge the divide between lay people and experts. It also means fewer people benefit from the chance to advance their informal science education and gain valuable…

If possession is nine-tenths of the law, Nyla Rose can really argue that she is the All Elite Wrestling TBS champion. “The Native Beast” has gotten under the skin of the official title holder, Jade Cargill by keeping the gold in her care.

Carnivorous plants’ peculiar strategies for snagging live prey have long captured the public imagination. But even within this strange group, in which food-trapping mechanisms have evolved multiple times independently, some oddities stand out. For example, the visually striking pitcher plant Nepenthes gracilis, native to Southeast Asia, can harness falling rain’s energy to ambush animals. A new study in Biology Letters demonstrates how the structure of the plant’s pitcher component, itself a modified leaf, makes the unusual strategy work. “This is the only case we know where a plant actually exploits [external energy] for a purpose,” says study co-author Ulrike Bauer,…
I’m afraid to say it, but the days of leaving the house without so much as a knitted layer are over. September has arrived, and with it, we know autumn isn’t too far behind. I, for one, welcome the impending seasonal shift with open arms. Why? The jackets, of course!I love jackets—in fact, I’d go as far as to say that jackets are one of my favourite things to shop for. Between blazers and bikers and some more unexpected iterations thrown in for good measure, nothing gives me the same satisfaction as investing in a jacket that will snatch all…
Then there’s Mastodon’s code. As Truth Social was under development in 2021, the Software Freedom Conservancy accused it of violating a free and open source software licensing agreement for taking Mastodon’s code. Anyone can use Mastodon’s code, but they must make the source code public. Truth Social called its code “proprietary,” which violated the licensing agreement. It later quietly added an open source section to its website, acknowledging the open source code and Mastodon. Alongside its growth, Truth Social is dealing with a financing snag: Some $1.3 billion in funding is entangled with a merger between Trump Media and Technology Group, which owns…

People Wanted alternative social networks long before Elon Musk bought Twitter and went full chaos mode. From BeReal to Gas, multiple new options enjoyed breakout moments as legacy platforms sputtered. The hunt for a viable Twitter alternative sped up after most people on Twitter’s staff were laid off or chose to leave. One social platform that’s gained recent traction is Hive Social. Oh, and it appears to be run by two people.“You want to see your friends and family, so we just kept it simple and people seem to really like the chronological feed,” Kassandra Pop, CEO of Hive Social, told Teen Vogue in 2021.…

Disrupted sleep, lower life satisfaction and poor self-esteem are just a few of the negative mental health consequences that researchers have linked to social media. Somehow the same platforms that can help people feel more connected and knowledgeable also contribute to loneliness and disinformation. What succeeds and fails, scientists say, is a function of how these platforms are designed. Amanda Baughan, a graduate student specializing in human-computer interaction at the University of Washington, studies how social media triggers what psychologists call dissociation, or a state of reduced self-reflection and narrowed attention. She presented results at the 2022 Association for Computing…

Dee Bradley Baker is one of the most prolific and talented voice actors in the animated entertainment industry. Chances are you’ve grown up listening to his characters on Phineas & Ferb, Adventure Time, SpongeBob SquarePants, and American Dad!, to name just a few of the hundreds of shows on which he’s brought characters to life. Most recently, he has voiced the unpredictable Eagly on HBO Max’s Peacemaker and the titular team of misfit clones on Disney+’s Star Wars: The Bad Batch. However, easily the most universally lovable new Baker-voiced character is the blobby yet adorable Murf on Paramount+’s Star Trek:…
Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have successfully used a cell’s natural process for making proteins to “slide” genetic instructions into a cell and produce critical proteins missing from those cells. If further studies verify their proof-of-concept results, the scientists may have a new method for targeting specific cell types for a variety of disorders that could be treated with gene therapies. Such disorders include neurodegenerative diseases that affect the brain, including Alzheimer’s disease, forms of blindness and some cancers. For those looking to develop treatments for diseases where cells lack a specific protein, it’s critical to precisely target the…
