Credit: University of California Graphic Arts / Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory In the 1930’s when scientists, including Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger, first discovered the phenomenon of entanglement, they were perplexed.

Affordable smartwatches aren’t always very good looking, and devices that are priced under Rs. 5,000 are usually quite simple when it comes to design and the type of display used. However, the product I’m reviewing here wants to be the exception to the trend. The Pebble Cosmos Luxe is a new eye-catching smartwatch that tries to stand out among the competition, despite being priced affordably at Rs. 3,999 in India.With a 1.36-inch round AMOLED display, Bluetooth calling capability, and sensors to measure steps, heart rate, and SpO2 levels, the Pebble Cosmos Luxe looks impressive on paper too.

In 2005, Between the Buried and Me were a blip on the radar for underground metalheads, too unpredictable for casual metalcore fans and too core for prog heads.

There are only eight more episodes of The Walking Dead. And as the show works its way towards the November 20 series finale on AMC (somewhat ominously titled “Rest in Peace”), we can’t wait to see what twists and turns the zombie apocalypse show brings us in its final installment. But first, where did the drama leave off when 11B concluded in the spring? Well, in short, there’s trouble brewing at the Commonwealth, and our favorite survivors are scattered both behind and outside of the walls of the previously preconceived paradise. Outside of the perimeters, there’s Daryl (Norman Reedus), Aaron…

When fans and critics look back at the early career of Black Sabbath they recognize that the band released six groundbreaking albums in a row before being consumed by their appetites for drugs and alcohol. But what they often fail to absorb is that all six albums were released within a five year timeframe. Yes, vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward were reinventing the mythology of rock ‘n’ roll as they stormed from one town to another, but they had their act together enough to write some legendary music. Take, their second album, Paranoid,…

Claudio Lavenia In a post-pandemic summer, everyone is coveting a bit of an escape. For some, that might be in the form of a literal getaway to Europe, like Jennifer Lopez and seemingly everyone else on our Instagram feeds. For others, like the sartorially inclined, that could mean a break from the routine of warm-weather style. These months are prime time for summer dresses, tank tops, bike shorts, and other seasonal staples to shine. But even the best jeans shorts can feel monotonous—we get it. If you’re looking to spice things up and add some new (and sexy) pieces to…

Many smaller municipalities don’t have online reporting options, which means you’ll have to talk to a human being—who could decline to write up a report if they don’t find your sob story about a million-dollar cartoon monkey credible or compelling. Asked where someone should turn if their $250 NFT has been stolen, Chan says that while local law enforcement is “definitely” the most appropriate place to go, “whether they’re going to be able…
