The shift toward clean air policies is also unevenly spread across the global north. For every Oslo or London, there are other cities in Europe and North America laying down new roads and filling them with polluting vehicles. Ferdinand Dudenhöffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research in Duisburg, Germany, believes that the fixation on third- or fourth-hand vehicle imports in the developing world can be a distraction from the main cause of vehicle pollution: 90 percent of cars worldwide are sold in Canada, China, Europe, and the United States.But as EV sales in wealthier nations increase, there is a…

Despite looking nothing like the festival that was first announced back in May 2021 — or even what was detailed in January of this year — Boston Calling 2022 did indeed happen, and we have the photos to prove it. Unfortunate circumstances, positive COVID tests, and severe weather warnings meant a number of artists on the original lineup never took the stage. It also meant that Nine Inch Nails performed a rare double-header, topping both Friday and Saturday night. So the festival may not have been exactly what fans were expecting when they first bought tickets, but if you were…

Imagen, from Google, is the latest example of an AI seemingly able to produce high-quality images from a text prompt – but they aren’t quite ready to replace human illustrators Technology | Analysis 26 May 2022 By Alex Wilkins Examples of images created by Google’s Imagen AIImagen/Google Tech firms are racing to create artificial intelligence algorithms that can produce high-quality images from text prompts, with the technology seeming to advance so quickly that some predict that human illustrators and stock photographers will soon be out of a job. In reality, limitations with these AI systems mean it will probably be…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Solitude Of Light (Beyond Cascadia Book Three)? The story behind the story of “Solitude Of Light” is that, as I was developing the “Beyond Cascadia” speculative fiction series, I uncovered darker aspects of the relationship between the brothers, Tomás and Francisco Chen. I saw there needed to be a final confrontation between both of them, but because they are such unusual personalities, it went in unexpected ways. Because of the focus on these characters, “Solitude Of Light” was written as a stand-alone story that can be thoroughly enjoyed even…

Companies are creating open-source 3D-printed products to fill the gap Technology 26 May 2022 By James Stout Canadian company Glia provides designs for 3D printing tourniquetsGlia 3D-printed tourniquets could save lives in war zones lacking crucial medical supplies. Tourniquets, which use constriction to prevent massive bleeding in extremities, have long been used on the battlefield in one form or another. Over time, their design has been honed to be just a nylon strap that doesn’t stretch and a plastic windlass that allows a user to tighten the…

Someone must have tipped Pink Floyd off to TikTok’s knack for re-popularizing decades-old music, because the band has officially joined the platform. In addition to uploading their catalogue to TikTok’s sound library, allowing fans to use their music in their own videos, Pink Floyd have also made an account of their own, where they promise in a statement to post “unique video content.” The band’s account launched today, May 30th, in accordance with the 50th anniversary of the day they entered the studio to start recording The Dark Side Of The Moon.

FX is moving ahead with Fargo Season 5. The highly-anticipated new season, penned by Noah Hawley, will have much star power when it premieres. Jon Hamm (Mad Men) has landed the male lead role on the project, but plot details remain scarce. Aside from the series being set in 2019, all we know is that the series will ask the following questions: When is a kidnapping not a kidnapping, and what if your wife isn’t yours? It’s a compelling enough hook, but it doesn’t quite have the pizazz of prior seasons … yet. The franchise has notoriously been shrouded in…
Archaeologists have unearthed the ancient burial of a woman lying on a bronze bed near the city of Kozani in northern Greece. It dates to the first century B.C. Depictions of mermaids decorate the posts of the bed. The bed also displays an image of a bird holding a snake in its mouth, a symbol of the ancient Greek god Apollo. The woman’s head was covered with gold laurel leaves that likely were part of a wreath, Areti Chondrogianni-Metoki, director of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Kozani, told Live Science in an email. The wooden portions of the bed have decomposed. Gold…

An ASAS-SN telescope helps astronomers discover new stars. Credit: ASAS-SN Ohio State University astronomers have identified about 116,000 new variable stars, according to a new paper. These heavenly bodies were found by The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN), a network of 20 telescopes around the world that can observe the entire sky about 50,000 times deeper than the human eye. Researchers from Ohio State have operated the project for nearly a decade. Now in a paper published on arXiv, an open-access preprint server, researchers describe how they used machine learning techniques to identify and classify variable stars—celestial objects whose…
The dust trail from the largest comet outburst ever seen will grace the skies this summer — and it’s going to look like a giant hourglass. The night show will come courtesy of comet 17P/Holmes, which in October 2007 let off a huge flash of gas and dust, brightening by a factor of a million and briefly becoming the largest object in the solar system. In that brief period, its coma, the dust cloud surrounding the comet body, had a bigger diameter than the sun. At first, it seemed that the particles given off in this record-breaking outburst might simply disperse into…
Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have reportedly been going strong since late 2021. The 41-year-old Skims co-founder and the 28-year-old comedian are not the first unexpected couple within the Kardashian family, but it’s clear that love has been in the air since they found each other on the set of “Saturday Night Live,” where the reality TV star memorably took the stage in pink velvet Balenciaga for her opening monologue. According to recent episodes of Hulu’s “The Kardashians,” Kardashian has been exploring her personal style since she and Kanye West split up. She is a brand ambassador for Balenciaga and…

Rock and roll couple Robert Fripp and Toyah are back with yet another eyebrow-raising cover, as this week they’ve tackled Hole’s 1998 classic “Celebrity Skin.” Backed by hand-painted signs declaring “Celebrity Fripp” and “Hail Queen Courtney,” Fripp’s crunchy power chords and Toyah’s operatic vocals manage to make “Celebrity Skin” sound lo-fi and extra dramatic all at once. Even better, Toyah — always one for elaborate costumes — dons a pink dress that looks exactly like something Love herself would’ve worn in her Hollywood actress/pop star era. The clip ends with a few wholesome outtakes, where Fripp punctuates every bum note…

Camp Independence and Responsibility and Camp Don’t-Wanna-Be-Here Camp counseling was once a coveted gig in the teen world, if the fiction of the ’80s and ’90s is any indication. Books like the Camp Counselors series by Diana Ames played into the same romantic ideals that Nickelodeon shows like Hey Dude and Salute Your Shorts of the time did. Ames’s series offered tweens and teens the opportunity to imagine falling in love and breaking hearts. It harkened back to some of the camp books of the ’80s, including titles like Camp Girl-Meets-Boy by Caroline B. Cooney, and what made this era…
We had a chance to virtually chat with the cast and creators of Evil in support of the third season. Evil Season 3 starts moments after the Evil Season 2 finale. Mike has just taken the vows of priesthood, and with how he and Kristen are drawn to each other, there could be trouble on the horizon. Of course, the trouble always starts elsewhere when you’re dealing with demonic spirits. We’ve had the opportunity to see the first three episodes, and while we’re going to leave any spoilers at the door, suffice it to say the excitement continues and increases…
A nanoparticle coat helps an immunotherapy drug cross the blood-brain barrier in mice so it can target brain tumours more effectively Health 26 May 2022 By Carissa Wong Brain tumour cellsUniversity of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center Coating a cancer drug with nanoparticles can help it cross the barrier that protects the brain from chemicals elsewhere in the body, enabling it to unleash an immune response that kills brain tumour cells.

Although our editors relish the challenge of getting dressed year-round, we agree that our favourite time of the year to assemble outfits for is summer. Sure, spring and autumn may present the opportunity to finesse our layering techniques, and who doesn’t love slipping on a duvet coat and toasty boots on the crisp days of winter. But summer? There’s euphoric freedom in not having to give too much thought to the weather and not having it restrict your ensembles. So when given free rein, what are the summer outfits our fashion editors love to wear? Let’s find out, shall we? Below, my colleagues and I…
