Many ancient Romans died when the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried by hot volcanic ash, but the high temperatures didn’t destroy proteins in their skeletons Humans 27 May 2022 By Colin Barras The Archaeological Park of Herculaneum in Pompei, ItalyIvan Romano/Getty Images Baked human bones recovered from an ancient volcanic disaster still contain traces of their original proteins. The discovery could point the way to new forensic tools for analysing bodies recovered after fires or similar incidents.

Photography courtesy of Fashion Art Toronto Runway shows are back — and these designers are celebrating with maximalist patterns, social commentary and genre-defying styles. By Natalie Michie Date May 9, 2022 To see what the future holds for Canadian fashion, look no further than Fashion Art Toronto (FAT). After two years of virtual events, the city’s fashion week made its return to in-person sartorial presentations.

OpenHaus: a nod to the FAT’s commitment to…
Big picture, there’s no legal issue with posting surveillance cam content. Experts agree that it is generally legal to post video footage captured in a public space where the subject of the video lacks a reasonable expectation of privacy. (Things get a bit trickier with audio recordings, where states vary in consent rules, but, again, these rules often don’t apply when a person is in a public space, like on a sidewalk.) While a person’s front door area is legally considered “private” for Fourth Amendment purposes—meaning the police can’t snoop around without a warrant—a homeowner can surveil their own space.…
What do you get when you attend a festival in Florida during its rainy season? A lot of cancelations. But what do you get when you attend a festival in Florida with your family during rainy season?

The other three nights were to feature KISS, Korn and Foo Fighters…
Bo Burnham has been a bit quiet lately, but it would seem he’s been busy behind the scenes. He just uploaded about an hour of footage that was filmed during the making of his 2021 Netflix special Inside. Referred to as Inside Outtakes, you can find the new compilation of footage on his YouTube channel.Bo Burnham has had a bit of an unusual career trajectory. He was known for goofy yet clever rhymes on YouTube in his early days. Those videos made him a star, but that didn’t come without a price. Looking back on Bo’s early work, it’s pretty clear that he…
The globular cluster Messier 54. Credit: NASA A team of astronomers studied two nearby globular clusters, 47 Tucanae and Omega Centauri, searching for signals produced by annihilating dark matter. Though the searches turned up empty, they weren’t a failure. The lack of a detection placed strict upper limits on the mass of the hypothetical dark matter particle. Shining a light on dark matter Dark matter makes up around 80% of all the mass in the universe, although it’s completely invisible. It simply doesn’t interact with the electromagnetic force, and so it doesn’t glow or reflect or absorb or anything. So…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Unmitigated Violence (Empire of Violence #1)? I wanted to write a story that was unapologetically brutal and masculine, to provide catharsis in the face of all the frustrations that we’re all faced with every day. I wanted to write a story for any people who had faced some form of injustice that seemed impossible to set right, for those people who had to sit there and take it, but had fleeting images go through their mind of just going berserk and showing everybody what happens when you f*#@ with…

Sick of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Bored with the DC Extended Universe? Allow me to introduce you to T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents. T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents was the flagship title of Tower Comics, a short-lived company that flamed out in 1969, just four years after their debut. The comic combined two of the most popular genres to come out of the ’60s: superheroes and secret agents. The “superheroes” part won out fairly quickly. Even so, the books were noticeably different from anything else on the market. They were twice as long (68 pages versus 34 pages) and twice as expensive (25 cents versus 12…
E.Z. is changed for good, and I don’t think it’s for the better. Mayans M.C. Season 4 Episode 8 shone a notably different light on our lead as he made some more cutthroat decisions, changing his trajectory forever. He’s cold as ice, and while it’s clear this is all a front because he feels he needs to be different, it’s difficult to watch. If you watch Mayans M.C. online, you know E.Z. has always had little shades of darkness, but now they’re starting to manifest into something far worse. Killing Gaby was the catalyst for the E.Z. we got to…
As my skin became gradually more troublesome and my acne began flaring up more regularly over the years, I started feeling increasingly more lost when it came to my skincare routine. As a beauty editor who knows the ins and outs of every skincare product and ingredient out there, even I couldn’t get my routine right. So how the hell was anybody else supposed to? When I reached out to skincare experts, their solution was always the same: reduce the number of products I was using. But how can I? I thought. Surely my skin needs all of these vital ingredients?And the truth,…
Rautalahti stressed the value of digital preservation, although he sees fans and institutions like the Internet Archive as being more probable saviors than developers. “It really would be worthwhile to have some kind of effort to preserve these things. It might not seem that valuable right now, but as someone who works on this, it would be nice to know that games aren’t just lost in the ether. I’d like to think they’re also culturally significant, not an individual game necessarily, but as part of a whole. In 50 years I’m sure you could see a lot about how online…

His exact quote:With television, we’re very lucky that we don’t have to rush things through into an hour-and-a-half, two hours. We…
If you’re seeking a way to walk while you work, the best walking treadmills can slot just as easily into your life as they can under your desk. These machines are slightly different from the best treadmills (opens in new tab); they tend to be smaller and can often be folded up and put away. You don’t have to be carving out endless hours in a desk job to fall short of your 10,000 steps a day (opens in new tab).

Long before Atlanta-based new American metal pioneers Mastodon started writing multifaceted songs intertwined with fetching harmonies and concept album narratives, they were a volcanic, scream-heavy band with one foot in thrash and the other in proggy sludge. The band’s first full-length, Remission, which came out May 28, 2002, offered hints of how Mastodon would develop over time. Guitarist Brent Hinds layered notey fills over dense, shifting rhythms that were somehow contained by the maniacal Neil Peart-inspired drumming of Brann Dailor.Mastodon started working on songs for Remission after they formed in 2000, but none of the cuts appeared on their first…

Credit: Sandra Standbridge/Shutterstock Alongside the worrying current fad for plastic grass, a growing number of people are choosing to let their lawns grow wild in order to encourage a more diverse range of plants and insects to live in them. You may not be convinced of the beauty of a wild and unruly garden, but there is a sweet spot to be found between a rewilded jungle and a sterile green desert which not only looks good but provides a haven for wildlife. This is especially important in the U.K., where 97% of semi-natural grassland has been destroyed over the…
