Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain The Sun is much more than just a source of light for Earth—it’s a dynamic and complex star, with storms, flares, and movement causing it to change constantly. Magnetic fields govern most of the solar activity we can observe but how they do this is still poorly understood. New results based on simulations out of NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing facility at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley are painting a more complete picture of one of the most prominent magnetically-driven solar features—a cycle of sunspot formation known as a “torsional oscillation.” A computational analysis of…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Coven Of the Dead Vol.1? For those who don’t know what shadow work is; it is the process of sifting through the past to find what is influencing the present. My past is riddled with loss and the disappointment of the world we live our days in. I made the Hel’s Hoard series to create a world where there was no one right answer. Where I could be magical and live a meaningful life. I also created it for those who do not have a place they fit in,…
The first half of La Brea Season 2 went by so fast. After Gavin and Izzy landed in 10,000 BC in the season premiere, new missions and new mysteries were introduced for the characters. Most of them flowed seamlessly, like meeting Gavin’s birth parents or Lucas’s redemption arc, but others dragged on too long, like the love triangle. Let’s discuss the high and low points of La Brea Season 2. Best Episode- La Brea Season 2 Episode 6 La Brea almost made “Lazarus” feel like the midseason finale because the stakes were so high, and so many characters dealt with…
“Dicamba drift” — the movement of the herbicide dicamba off crops through the atmosphere — can result in unintentional damage to neighboring plants. To prevent dicamba drift, other chemicals, typically amines, are mixed with dicamba to “lock” it in place and prevent it from volatilizing, or turning into a vapor that more easily moves in the atmosphere. Now, new research from the lab of Kimberly Parker, an assistant professor of energy, environmental and chemical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis’ McKelvey School of Engineering, has shed new light on this story by demonstrating for the first time that these…
Edward Berthelot I had never used a garment bag prior to, oh, just about a week ago, but I’m already sold on the concept. You might think of garment bags as mere sheath covers to be used to and fro the dry cleaners or to lug that hideous bridesmaid’s dress to a destination wedding. But the best garment bags do so much more. Namely, it serves as an excellent travel bag and is ideal for quick trips when you don’t necessarily need to pack a weekender bag. When I first encountered my new favorite garment bag, which you can find…
Proving that this way of producing pheromones works, and that they’re effective, has taken almost a decade. “We are now looking at scaling up the process and introducing them in the market,” says Löfstedt. This research also opens the door to using sex disruption to protect other commodity crops from pests. “It should be possible to use the pheromones also in sugarcane and soybean production,” says Löfstedt.The beauty with pheromones is that they don’t kill insects, but instead just influence their behavior. This makes them more environmentally friendly than pesticides, which often wipe out many species that aren’t the target, explains…

One of the best-selling video gamed franchises of all time is finally getting an adaptation. Not just one though. Gears of War will get a film and a series. Multiple production companies have been trying to get a project rolling since at least 2007, but it seems that Netflix is the only one that has succeeded. For a time, New Line Cinema held the rights. Then, Universal was planning to produce a feature film around the time of the release of Gears Of War 4. That attempt also stalled out.According to Netflix’s press release, the service “will first adapt the video game saga into a live…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Rome for the Holidays? I love Italy! I’ve always felt at home there, particularly in Rome and Tuscany. While I was researching this book I was also digging into my family’s history and I was delighted to trace a branch of my family back to Pitigliano. We had a run in with a wild boar on our most recent trip to Italy. I won’t spoil the story, but the experience definitely provided fodder for my tale. I’m also a big fan of reality television and the over-the-top characters on…
Thanksgiving often inspires warm, family stories. Usually, the holiday allows characters to take a break from high drama and celebrate being with one another. Not in Salem, though. On Days of Our Lives during the week of 11-21-22, EJ spent Thanksgiving drinking away his pain over his mother’s death, while Chanel’s loved ones had to improvise because she was still in jail. EJ’s heartbreak led to high drama and plenty of opportunities for Dan Feuerriegel to show off his acting skills. Feuerriegel sold EJ’s devastation as he wandered around disheveled, interested only in numbing his pain and guilt over Susan’s…

The FTC’s treatment of Facebook helps illustrate the danger to Musk and Twitter. In 2019, following a complaint alleging violation of a 2012 order, the agency hit the company with a record $5 billion in fines, and named CEO Mark Zuckerberg personally responsible for compliance and certification of documents under penalty of perjury. Heavy fines could be a major problem for Twitter, which, as part of Elon Musk’s takeover, was loaded with debt.The chaotic early weeks of Musk’s ownership of Twitter have already suggested the company risks missing some of its FTC requirements. The Verge reported that the recent relaunch of Twitter’s…
It’s often thought that the music video comes second to the song itself. But a dark music video can sometimes pack a punch just as foreboding and visceral as the tune it accompanies.Sure, a song’s visual component should supplement the audio, but can’t it also go further and disturb, titillate, horrify? Maybe the mark of a great music video is to test those boundaries.After all, some huge rock and metal bands have made videos more likely to chill your spine than tickle your fancy. And many viewers have returned from those clips with more appreciation for the song being illustrated. But we’re sure plenty have come…
Yes, that is an almost unrecognizable Brendan Fraser above in that image from The Whale, the first Darren Aronofsky movie since 2017’s mother! The film got strong reviews out of film festivals last summer and fall (it’s currently at a 72 percent on Rotten Tomatoes), particularly for Fraser’s performance as an overwheight English teacher who tries to reconnect with his estranged daughter.The film is sure to be in the conversation for awards in the months ahead, and it would be a shock if Fraser didn’t at least get a nomination for his performance. (He already received a Best Lead Performance nomination from…
Viral DNA in human genomes, embedded there from ancient infections, serve as antivirals that protect human cells against certain present-day viruses, according to new research. The paper, “Evolution and Antiviral Activity of a Human Protein of Retroviral Origin,” published Oct. 28 in Science, provides proof of principle of this effect. Previous studies have shown that fragments of ancient viral DNA — called endogenous retroviruses — in the genomes of mice, chickens, cats and sheep provide immunity against modern viruses that originate outside the body by blocking them from entering host cells. Though this study was conducted with human cells in…
I don’t know about you, but the holidays always mean traveling of some sort. For me, it means braving the hectic airport and flying home for a week or two to open presents and eat way too much food. For others, it means road tripping across the state to meet family or hopping on a cruise to avoid them and the whole festive season. Trains, boat rides, it’s all fair game. Traveling is a fact of life for a lot of us this season. We spend so much time traveling in our lives. Just think about how much time you…
After 12 years, The Walking Dead will “Rest in Peace” this Sunday. The hour-and-a-half series finale has plenty of explaining to do on a variety of subjects, ranging from the odds the Commonwealth and the Civic Republic Military (CRM) are connected, to whether we’ll actually see original protagonist Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) before the spinoffs arrive. We’re breaking down eight burning questions we have for the show’s final installment, titled “Rest in Peace.” Jace Downs/AMC What Is “Designation Two”? This is an open door that might lead straight to CRM. We still haven’t gotten answers about where Connie (Lauren Ridloff)…
It’s been nearly four years since the Woolsey Fire ripped through Southern California, burning nearly 100,000 acres and destroying hundreds of homes in Ventura and Los Angeles counties. Now, new research finds that human communities weren’t the only ones to suffer. An elusive population of mountain lions living in and around Los Angeles also found their habitats scarred by the fire. The big cats were forced to adjust their behavior in dangerous ways to avoid the burn zones after the blaze, the study finds. They crossed major roads more often; trespassed on one another’s territories; and moved around in the daytime, risking…
Rosdiana CiaravoloGetty Images Pretty much every woman has wished for long, luscious locks at some point in her life. We love bobs and pixie cuts just as much as the next person, but there’s something about long, mermaid-esque hair that makes our hearts sing. Naomi Campbell, behold your impact. The only issue is actually growing those long strands. Everything from heat damage, bleach, hair type, and general wear and tear can affect how our hair grows. Plus, if you’ve had COVID-19, you may have noticed some hair loss, as thinning is a common side effect of the virus. But that…
The government on Friday tweaked IT rules to pave way for setting up of grievance appellate panels, which will settle issues that users may have against the way social media platforms initially addressed their complaints regarding content and other matters.These committees will be able to review content moderation decisions by social media companies like Meta and Twitter.The ‘Grievance Appellate Committees’ will be set up within three months, according to a gazette notification on Friday.Incidentally, the move comes at a time when the CEO of electric car maker Tesla, Elon Musk, has completed his $44 billion (nearly Rs. 3,62,300 crore) takeover of…

There’s something to which I think we can all agree: social media can be toxic. Doesn’t anyone else yearn for the pre-Trump Twitter days where it felt like you could truly connect with like-minded people over shared interests or common complaints, and not be attacked by hidden avatars accusing you of being “woke”? Likewise, Instagram’s toxicity was evident practically from the start, and I’m not even going to attempt to discuss the triumphant rise and fall of Facebook. Indeed, social media hypnotized us all at first with the promise of a useful new tool with varying moral standards of how…
