Analysis of Bronze Age daggers has shown that they were used for processing animal carcasses and not as non-functional symbols of identity and status, as previously thought. First appearing in the early 4th millennium BCE, copper-alloy daggers were widespread in Bronze Age Europe including Britain and Ireland. Yet archaeologists have long debated what these objects were used for. As daggers are often found in weapon-rich male burials, or ‘warrior graves’, many researchers speculated that they were primarily ceremonial objects used in prehistoric funerals to mark out the identity and status of the deceased. Others suggested that they may have been…

Understanding the molecular mechanisms that specify and maintain the identities of more than 200 cell types of the human body is arguably one of the most fundamental problems in molecular and cellular biology, with critical implications for the treatment of human diseases. Central to the cell fate decision process are stem cells residing within each tissue of the body. When stem cells divide, they have the remarkable ability to choose to self-renew — that is, make a copy of themselves — or mature into defined lineages. How a specific lineage identity is maintained every time a stem cell divides can…
There’s no doubt about it. As soon as the first hint of blossom is on the trees and slightly lighter mornings are here, we’re ready to hit spring mode. Seeing spring/summer 2022 trends flooding the new-in sections is enough to get us excited, and we can’t help but daydream about ditching the multiple winter layers. Until it gets warmer, though, we have to all ease towards the new season with baby steps. You know, swap your faux-fur coat for a trans-seasonal trench. Replace cosy cashmere sweaters in favour of lighter, fine knits. And then there are the boots. While we’ve loved wearing…
Even though the Russian military action in Ukraine has heightened tensions between Moscow and the US, the two sides will continue to cooperate on operations of the International Space Station (ISS), NASA said. The US space agency has said that its collaborative operations with the Russian space agency Roscosmos will continue as normal.

Extreme heat across much of India and neighbouring Pakistan in March and April exposed more than a billion people to scorching temperatures well above 40 Celsius (104 Fahrenheit). The devastating heatwave that gripped India and Pakistan over the last two months is unprecedented, but worse—perhaps far worse—is on the horizon as climate change continues apace, top climate scientists told AFP. Even without additional global warming South Asia is, statistically speaking, ripe for a “big one” in the same way that California is said to be overdue for a major earthquake, according to research published this week. Extreme heat across much…

Fishers in Cambodia recently received a massive surprise when they reeled in a gigantic 400-pound stingray. The hefty ray was dragged up from the murky depths of the Mekong River after it swallowed a fish that had already been snagged on the fishers’ line.

The fishers immediately alerted team members from the Wonders of the Mekong project — a conservation group run by the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), in collaboration…

Not every bottle is great, but most are still pretty good. Of the nearly 20 bottles I tried, these are some that will hold your water just as well, but they didn’t stand out enough to give them a spot above.Sigg Water Bottle Original for $36: This is a fancy bottle. It’s uninsulated, but it’s made of stainless steel in Switzerland. The build quality is obvious in the details. The cap looks and feels like something Porsche would design.

With the news that The CW has canceled around half of their scripted shows, there’s a silver lining for fans of Charmed. The series, under the leadership of Jeffrey Lieber, Joey Falco and Nicki Renna, has crafted its best season yet, so it’s unfortunate that it’s being canceled in its prime. However, the Charmed writers social media account shared Thursday night, hours after the cancellation announcement, that they worked towards closure with the season finale. “As you can tell by the amount of change happening today, we — the writers — were always aware that cancellation was possible,” reads the…
Abortion makes many people uncomfortable. I get it. When I was an ob-gyn resident, I recall telling my supervising physician that I would learn the skills to perform an abortion, but probably wouldn’t provide them after I graduated because doing so made me “a little uncomfortable.” My supervising physician asked me in response, “Do you think women have a right to this procedure?” I thought, “Well … yeah, of course.” With the leaked decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court has indicated its willingness to place a heavy brick on the scale of the statue of…
Jennifer Garner has had an off-again-on-again relationship with John Miller since 2018, but their pairing doesn’t get much attention compared to her ex-husband Ben Affleck’s renewed engagement to Jennifer Lopez.

A source told US Weekly that Miller is on the same page as Garner explaining, “She loves how little he cares for the limelight or the whole Hollywood scenester stuff… Very different from Ben and J. Lo’s relationship in that way. You’ll…
Previously unknown “zero-day” software vulnerabilities are mysterious and intriguing as a concept. But they’re even more noteworthy when hackers are spotted actively exploiting the novel software flaws in the wild before anyone else knows about them.

Two reports this week from the threat intelligence firm Mandiant and Google’s bug hunting team, Project Zero, aim to give insight into the question of exactly how much zero-day exploitation has grown in recent years.Mandiant and Project Zero each have a different scope for the…
Researchers have used the strongest magnetic field ever measured to search for exotic particles called magnetic monopoles, but they came up empty Physics 2 February 2022 By Leah Crane Accelerator beam pipes at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, SwitzerlandDaniel Dominguez/CERN The strongest magnetic field ever measured anywhere in the universe has failed to produce detectable magnetic monopoles. These hypothetical particles are predicted by many calculations of possible phenomena beyond the standard model of particle physics, but more than a century of searching still hasn’t turned up any signs of them. All magnets that we know of have…
