When Zendaya walked into the Valentino show in an all-pink Valentino power suit during Paris Fashion Week, she set off a chain reaction, resulting in the mainstream adoption of the vibrant shade. Creative Director Pierpaolo Piccioli described it as “the color of love, community, energy and freedom.” Her hot-pink, double-breasted blazer; plunging, buttonless blouse; and trousers embellished with 3D floral appliqués presented as the look du jour, announcing Valentino’s Pink PP collection right before it debuted on the runway. Rife with head-to-toe fuchsia ensembles, including Zendaya’s tailored uniform, the aesthetic was made even more dramatic with the addition of opera…

Jim Carrey’s rise to stardom ranks among the great Hollywood success stories. The rubber-faced king of comedy turned heads in films such as Once Bitten, Peggy Sue Got Married and Earth Girls Are Easy throughout the 80s before making a name on the popular sketch comedy series In Living Color from 1990-94.But his biggest break came with the back-to-back-to-back success of Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber, all released in 1994 to ridiculous commercial success.The fun didn’t stop there. Carrey stole the show in Joel Schumacher’s blockbuster Batman Forever, which grossed $336.6 million worldwide against a…

Lea Michele as Rachel Berry on “Glee.” Photography courtesy of Getty Images It’s Ryan Murphy’s world, we’re just living in it. By Natalie Michie Date July 13, 2022 From 2009 to 2015, Glee brought sharp comedy, messy plot twists and many, many covers to our television screens. The Fox series about the teenage members of the New Directions glee club was as chaotic as it was heartfelt, and at the centre of all the drama (both real and fictitious) was Lea Michele, who played star singer Rachel Berry. Berry’s ambitious and over-eager personality made her something of an outcast, but…
If you are scanning many photos, it will take you hours with this app. Google also claims PhotoScan will produce glare-free results, but I found that wasn’t always the case. By default, the app uses the flash and a glare-free tool (both can be toggled off). A couple of my photos printed on grainy super-reflective paper came out with some glare. Good natural lighting produces better results with these tools turned off.While it was the most cumbersome, PhotoScan produced mostly detailed images and did a decent job subtly enhancing them, removing some blemishes. I liked the results from PhotoScan on…

They lurched along, arms outstretched, hungry for brains. Then something strange happened: they got fast. Really fast. (12 seconds fast, if you’ve seen the film adaptation of Max Brook’s World War Z.) And they weren’t so hungry for brains anymore. Instead, they just wanted to infect us all. I’m aware that I’m talking about movies. Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty to say about zombies in literature, too. It’s just that zombies have an unsettling habit of clawing…

A handwritten document thought to have been penned by Galileo Galilei is actually a forgery, the University of Michigan has announced. The single piece of paper was a jewel of the collection of the University of Michigan Library, according to a statement from the library. But an internal investigation by a professor of history has found that it’s a fake: Watermarks in the paper date back to no earlier than the 18th century, over a hundred years after the death of the famed astronomer. “It was pretty gut-wrenching when we first learned our Galileo was not actually a Galileo,” Donna L. Hayward,…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Grave New World? I’d been reading a bunch of mythology about various gods and how totally insane they were. It seemed they were always doing terrible things to people and each other. They were constantly jockeying for position, causing havoc, and generally being bastards. A character that’d been floating around in my head for a few years began to stir, as if he’d finally found his purpose. He named himself “Grave Digger,” and the fun began. The ideas started to flow, finally resting on the following: Grave Digger was…

World Health Organization (WHO) director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has now officially declared monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). The decision comes after the global health body’s International Health Regulations Emergency Committee on the disease failed to reach a consensus on the declaration at the end of its second meeting in less than a month. Between the meetings, the number of confirmed cases worldwide rose from 3,040 across 47 countries to more than 16,000 in 75 countries and territories, and the number of deaths rose from one to five, according to the WHO. Before a PHEIC was…
We already know all too well that one celebrity wearing something can turn said item into a major trend, especially when that celebrity is someone as influential as Kim Kardashian West or Gigi Hadid. But what happens when multiple celebrities wear the same piece? Well, it becomes *the* trend. At least, that appears to be the case with the pant style that’s now been spotted on both of the above as well as on Bella Hadid, Jasmine Tookes and Katy Perry—all in the span of a few weeks. The buzzy trend in question? Leather pants, which practically every A-lister seems to be ditching their jeans…
“Each one of those kinds of pyrite is telling us something different about our planet, its origin, about life, and how it’s changed through time,” said Hazen.For that reason, the new papers classify minerals by “kind,” a term that Hazen and Morrison define as a combination of the mineral species with its mechanism of origin (think volcanic pyrite versus microbial pyrite). Using machine learning analysis, they scoured data from thousands of scientific papers and identified 10,556 distinct mineral kinds.Morrison and Hazen also identified 57 processes that individually or in combination created all known minerals. These processes included various types of…
California governor Gavin Newsom is backing legislation that will extend the state’s film and television tax program as an incentive to draw productions from anti-abortion states. If passed, the bill will provide $1.65 billion or $330 million per year in tax credits to film, TV, and other media productions through 2030. This news comes after the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, with Newsom specifically targeting productions in states that have passed abortion-restricting laws, such as Georgia, whose higher tax credits have pulled productions away from California. “As other states roll back people’s rights, California will continue to…

Yet there is still much we do not know about tau and other similar proteins. The most recent discoveries come from the work of an international team including co-authors from the Faculty of Science of Charles University in Prague, Lenka Libusova, Ph.D. and graduate student Tereza Humhalová. The study has been published in Nature Chemical Biology. It shows that tau protein can form coatings…

What a perfectly executed finale (pun intended)! Only Murders In the Building Season 2 Episode 10 ties two seasons of mystery and murder together with so many twists and turns that there was hardly room to breathe! How many times did you gasp? When Mabel steered away from Cinda and accused Alice? When Alice “confessed”? When she “stabbed” Charles? When Poppy started laying into Cinda? It was a roller coaster! God! This is really not feeling like a finale yet, is it? Oliver Putnam I’m still recovering from how fantastic this finale was. It was so funny, clever, and expertly paced.…
By Carrie Arnold Low stock of baby formula at a grocery store in Athens, GeorgiaShutterstock / The Toidi Nearly half of the usual supply of baby formula in the US is currently out of stock. That is according to the latest analysis from Datasembly, a company that analyses real-time product data. In the first half of 2021, baby formula stock was relatively stable, with out of stock rates between 2 and 8 per cent. But as supply chain issues made it harder to get hold of raw ingredients and staffing shortages interrupted production, those rates steadily crept up last year.…
