When it comes to Gen Z’s penchant for beauty, one thing that certainly can’t be disputed is how beneficial it has been for the industry. Gen Z champion a sort of carefree revolt against the beauty ideals that have held every generation before them to impossible standards. They celebrate natural skin and hair textures, welcome what were once considered daring trends with open arms and, let’s face it, elevated Y2K beauty looks way beyond what we millennials did the first time around.One area that I feel as though Gen Z don’t get enough credit for within beauty, however, is their trendsetting hair…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain A new study finds companies that are more aggressive in their tax planning tend to do a worse job of managing their workforce. Specifically, these companies were more likely to be “underemployed,” meaning they hadn’t hired enough staff to operate efficiently. “Aggressive tax planning means a company will have more cash on hand, so it should be able to invest more in its workforce,” says Nathan Goldman, co-author of a paper on the work and an assistant professor of accounting at North Carolina State University. “We wanted to know if this was actually playing out in…
Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have gone to some extremes to cement their love for each other, and drinking each other’s blood has perhaps been the most shocking so far. Now, real vampires have warned the couple about the potential dangers of drinking blood.Fox recently elaborated on the matter, noting that the couple isn’t actually ingesting ounces of each other’s blood at a time.“So, I guess to drink each other’s blood might mislead people or people are imagining us with goblets and we’re like Game of Thrones, drinking each other’s blood. It’s just a few drops, but yes, we…

In “Slipping,” directed by Giuntoli, Anna goes to the meeting Sophie (Lizzy Greene) organized as an alternative for the memorial for the music teacher, Peter (Andrew Leeds), who assaulted her, rather than an AA meeting.

Wanted: lard oil and asbestos Credit: Scientific AmericanAdvertisement Although advertisements are meant to sell products, they can also provide insight into the state of science and technology at a given time.

What will people think 100 years from now about the goods and services being marketed today: credit cards, Facebook, smartphones that don’t continuously assess all your bodily functions and cribs unable to teach babies multiple languages?

OK, you got me. Trücup doesn’t actually have a subscription service and shouldn’t really be on this list. But it’s also missing something else: acid.

If you’ve been diagnosed with GERD, talk to your physician before you try Trücup, though.Trücup is still worth your time even if you’re fortunate enough to have a stomach that can handle normal coffee. It’s mellow and a top pick for drinking in the afternoon and evenings, as it’s…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Disappearance of Wiley Hood? The project began its life in 1988 as a 5,500-word short story, titled “The Gradual Disappearance of Wiley Hood” – one of six short stories I wrote that year as a means of learning the mechanics of the form. It was written in ‘third person’ as a deliberate effort to produce a prose-style homage to ‘The Twilight Zone.’ The story’s next incarnation came in the early 2000s, when I set out to learn how to write motion picture screenplays. ‘Wiley’ was my first project…

Cars pass near pumpjacks in the Belridge oil field near McKittrick, California; oil and gas production is a major source of methane emissions. For the second year running, US scientists observed record increases in the atmospheric concentration of the potent greenhouse gas methane, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said Thursday. Methane, the second biggest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide, is generated by the production, transport and use of fossil fuels, but also from the decay of organic matter in wetlands, and as a byproduct of ruminant digestion in agriculture. At last year’s COP26 Climate Change Conference…
You might have sensed that we like fashion. Scrap that—we LOVE fashion. Fashion is our everything! Getting dressed should be a joy, and one of the things that make us happiest is finding a (somewhat rare) sustainable, affordable fashion gem. We’re big fans of shopping vintage, hiring fancy outfits for big events and rewearing the heck out of everything we buy (so much so that we have an entire franchise dedicated to finding out how our favourite influencers and experts get the most of our their clothes), but in general, there’s a lot more that the sustainable, affordable fashion market could offer, and…
By mid-afternoon, the team had seemingly painted fire onto the land, burning exactly where and what they wanted. The mature pines’ lower trunks were singed black, and the ground beneath them was charred and cleared of most of the tangled brush that had been there at the start of the day. Watching the team was like watching skilled artists at work—night and day from the chaotic infernos that usually make headlines.“When you’re watching a successful controlled burn, it can be really boring,” says Landau. “That can really reduce the fear factor.”The US Forest Service, created in large part to suppress…

Alexander Bardi-Spröwitz has seen more dissected ostriches than the average engineer. Twelve years ago the researcher, now at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Stuttgart, Germany, was attempting to design a legged robot based on bird biology. The trouble was that most biologists do not describe animal anatomy in engineering-friendly terms. “It’s not their goal to build a robot,” Bardi-Spröwitz notes. “It’s a bit frustrating for me as an engineer because I need certain types of information.” Then he met Monica Daley, a veterinary scientist then at the Royal Veterinary College in England, who offered him a postdoctoral…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Goodbye Never? I wanted to write something that spanned different decades. Something that captured love at different stages of our lives. If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Goodbye Never, what would they be? No doubt, Lennon’s theme song would be “Survivor” by Destiny’s Child. Duke could have a whole album, but I’ve settled on: “More than Friends” by Jason Mraz and “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins from the Top Gun soundtrack. He’s a helicopter pilot in the Marine Corps, but it still works.…
