This classic French fashion type is characterised by expensive basics, Breton tops, silk shirts and tasteful yet subdued…
For millennia, cities have thrived by attracting people with diverse backgrounds and talents. But as the world warms, urban areas are attracting something less desirable: heat. A city’s roads, buildings, and other infrastructure absorb the sun’s energy, raising temperatures far above those in surrounding rural areas. This “urban heat island effect” varies dramatically not only from neighborhood to neighborhood, but from block to block and even house to house. Because it’s so hyperlocal and erratic, it’s hard to factor into predictions; a person’s actual experience of heat may be out of step with their local weather forecast. And with climate…

The Federal Emergency Management Agency categorized each state based on the stringency of its building codes—and put 39 states in the lowest category. FEMA also rated each state on a 100-point scale. Nineteen states received a score of 0, including some of the nation’s most disaster-prone states such as Louisiana, North Carolina and Pennsylvania. “It’s really a dirty little secret that many communities…

But the most hotly debated Y2K trend of them all? How to style low-rise jeans. Thanks to designers like Miu Miu, Diesel and Bottega Veneta, and style icons Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid, below the belly…
“Engage” was my preferred mode, and it was still plenty fast. Whisper was more purposefully lethargic, in order to smooth out the accelerating forces, but any half-skilled application of the accelerator pedal in Engage would suffice. Selecting each mode also triggers changes in ambient lighting and, in Whisper, turns off the false engine noise that’s otherwise played throughout the interior.There’s also one-pedal driving, in which lifting your foot off the accelerator pedal slows the car down via regenerative braking. It allows you to do much of your driving without using the brake pedal, although you still need to use it…

However, one dynamic that YA has yet to explore more deeply is polyamorous relationships in…

Scientists have developed a model that predicts six tropical fish species will expand into northern parts of Japan as sea temperatures rise. A new study forecasts how global climate change will affect tropical fish species in Japan.
