Credit: CC0 Public Domain Partnerships between water utilities, irrigation districts and other stakeholders in California will play a critical role in funding new infrastructure under the Water Resilience Portfolio Initiative announced in 2020 by Gov.

In a new research…

Of course, going short comes with the usual considerations such as whether or not your cut of choice will work with your texture and thickness. However, when it comes to going short, there are other things to consider too.As a rule, short hair tends to have to be styled more frequently than longer hair, and the general need for upkeep tends to be greater. When it comes to a short look that needs constant styling, it’s more important than ever to take…
Watching a boa constrictor capture and consume its prey is quite something. First, the snake strikes and latches onto the prey with its teeth, then it coils its body tightly around the poor creature and slowly squeezes the life from it. The constrictor cuts off blood flow to the heart and brain. Then the boa unhinges its jaw and swallows the prey whole. The boa uses its muscles to move its prey down the length of its body to the stomach, where the unlucky varmint is digested over the next four to six days.Boa constrictors mostly consume various medium-size rodents,…

Staying “well hydrated” in middle age may lower the risk of developing heart failure later in life, a new study suggests.The study researchers analyzed information from more than 11,000 adults ages 45 to 66 and followed them for 25 years. To examine their hydration levels, the researchers looked at the levels of sodium in the participants’ blood, also known as serum sodium, which increases as a person’s fluid levels decrease. The normal range for serum sodium is 135 to 146 millimoles per liter (mmol/L), although values at the higher end of this range would trigger a person’s body to start…

Paleontologists from a small number of countries control much of the world’s fossil data Credit: Youyou ZhouAdvertisement Rich countries overwhelmingly dominate paleontology research, even when the fossils do not originate there, a new study shows. Researchers analyzed 26,409 paleobiology papers from 1990 to 2020 and found that scientists in high- or upper-middle-income countries contributed to 97 percent of fossil research. And those from former colonial powers disproportionately controlled fossils from their former colonies. For example, French researchers conducted a quarter of all paleontology studies in Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria; German scientists carried out 17 percent of research on fossils from…
Black tailored trousers are the perfect example of how a classic item of clothing can be interpreted in countless ways yet remain versatile and timeless. One day, I might be in the mood for a more close-fitting silhouette to balance out a slouchy knit, while another will see me reaching for a dramatic wide-leg pair. This season, I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of low-rise black trousers. Granted, I already own a classic cigarette pair from Cefinn and a very fun ’70s-inspired flared pair from L’Agence, but I’ve been specifically looking for something in a slouchier, hip-skimming fit. Every style brings something…

Season 2 of Netflix’s Emmy-winning comedy Russian Doll is arriving on April 20th, and its latest trailer reveals that instead of sticking Natasha Lyonne’s Nadia Vulvokov in a fixed loop of one moment in her life, she’s being transported all across the timestream via New York’s subway system. The clip establishes the new time-hopping plot — which Lyonne’s wisecracking lead succinctly summarizes as “I broke time” — through a series of anachronistic train rides, first into the 1980s and then further into a long-buried history of a family losing their fortune on a more antiquated locomotive. Though the connection between…

A colorized image of Cassiopeia A based on data from the Hubble, Spitzer and Chandra space telescopes. (Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech)A powerful shock wave traveling through a cloud of gas left behind by the explosive death of a star has a bizarre quirk: Part of it is traveling in the wrong direction, a new study reveals. In the study, researchers found that the shock wave is accelerating at different rates, with one section collapsing back toward the origin of the stellar explosion, or supernova, in what the study authors call a “reverse shock.” Cassiopeia A is a nebula, or gas cloud, left…
Clemson University researchers have discovered a genetic variation associated with an often deadly esophageal disorder frequently found in German shepherd dogs. German shepherds are predisposed to congenital idiopathic megaesophagus (CIM), an inherited disorder where a puppy develops an enlarged esophagus that fails to move food into their stomachs. Puppies with the condition regurgitate their food and fail to thrive, often leading to euthanasia. While German shepherds have the highest incidence of the disease, other breeds are susceptible, too, including Labrador retrievers, Great Danes, dachshunds and miniature schnauzers. Researchers do not yet know if the same genetic variation is involved in…

It’s old hat by now to say “you are the product” on social media. Often, that bon mot is used to explain why social media is free to access. But that’s just barely scratching the surface. After all, this idea of intangible goods, bound up in the self, didn’t even begin with the internet, but with the 20th century turning our very psyches into a strip mine. Today, we’re not just eyeballs delivered up for advertisers, we are the Main Character of the internet’s deepest libidinal needs: the day’s villain, hero, romance interest, or incomplete story. Sometimes we get to…
Ed Sheeran “neither deliberately nor subconsciously copied” the British songwriter Sami Chokri to write his superhit “Shape of You,” a British judge ruled today (April 6). The judge dismissed Chokri’s plagiarism lawsuit after a high-profile, 11-day hearing on whether Chokri’s 2015 song “Oh Why,” as Sami Switch, inspired the “Oh, I” hook in Sheeran’s single.Chokri’s lawyer had described Sheeran as “a magpie,” saying he “borrows ideas and throws them into his songs,” according to The New York Times. The judge said there was “no more than speculative” evidence that Sheeran had heard the song.After the verdict, Sheeran said on social…
Who needs a publicist to make big announcements when your movie’s star has 79 million followers on Instagram and another 108 million followers on Facebook?You don’t!

And the driver claims he didn’t see a stop sign, which begs the question, where was it? If there’s someone you want on the scene during…

Luke has fast-twitch muscles and lightning-quick reaction time. It’s what made him good at tae kwon do, playing the violin, and gaming. It also made him a good catcher in baseball, where he got the chance during the summer after sixth grade to tag out his fourth-grade bully at home plate. One aspect of ADHD is hyper-focus. Luke could play Lego Star Wars and Super Paper Mario for hours on end, his hands never leaving the remote, his concentration fixed on the screen.Luke with Josh and Justin of Novelline, developers of Bleak.Photograph: Linda CuttingEventually, Luke started gaming with strangers online.…
