Mighty Mother Russia meets her match in “Frankenstein’s Army,” an enterprising addition to the found-footage horror canon that gleefully and gorily imagines what might have happened if the grandson of Victor Frankenstein had gone to work for the Nazis creating deranged mutants out of mixed-and-matched human and industrial parts.

I don’t care if NYNEX and Bell Atlantic want to merge, but at least they ought to have the decency to keep it to themselves. Even if I did care, of course, I wouldn’t challenge the God-given right of American corporations to expend most of their energy breaking up and coming back together. This is, after all, the fabulous free-market dynamic that generates so much wealth for the executives involved, a process that must be taught in leading graduate schools of business as the Amoeba Principle.

Friday, Sep. 25, 2009 To get in shape for her October wedding, Dawn-Samantha Cahill, 25, a production coordinator in New York City, tried every exercise routine she could think of. But the upended positions that yoga required made her feel self-conscious. Running on a treadmill was a bore. And lifting weights was just too difficult. Frustrated, Cahill started overeating instead of exercising, and her weight, on a petite, 5-ft. 2-in. frame, ballooned to 212 lb.

1. Philippians 2: 3-11 : Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

In between my morning game of hearts and my post-lunch game of foosball, I started to wonder if perhaps there was not a job easier than mine. The only one I could think of, that Survivor host already has. But as I was realphabetizing all the CDs I get for free, I remembered that Andy Richter, the last great American sidekick, had vacated his seat on Late Night with Conan O’Brien.

June 30, 2017 5:12 PM EDT Two people were injured after a small airplane crashed onto the 405 Freeway in California on Friday, officials said. Video footage of the crash shot by someone inside a car showed the plane teetering toward the ground and bursting into flames upon crashing onto the freeway.

As long as religion exists, we are made to understand that there is a heaven for those who did good things on earth and hell fire for those who didn't live their lives according to God's plan. These issues overtime has generated controversies with many people trying to dispute the fact that hell or heaven exists. They have come up with theories that God cannot be so wicked to cast into hell, a man whom he created in his own image and likeness - a place which is believed to have been created for Satan and his agents.

The dense kelp forest off the southern tip of South Africa is home to an unparalleled diversity of sea animals including sharks, rays, and, once upon a time, a common octopus that has just had an uncommon run as the star of the new Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher. Her onetime den lies a couple of dozen feet off the coast of Cape Town suburb Simon’s Town. The Octopus is long gone—octopuses rarely survive more than 18 months in the wild—but her co-star and “student,” filmmaker Craig Foster, still visits her former home in daily dives that are as much about pilgrimage as they are about science.

November 21, 2015 11:33 AM EST “You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets a car!” It’s been eleven years since Oprah Winfrey shouted those now-iconic words. On Sept. 13, 2004, the media mogul gave each member of her audience a Pontiac G6 — and it quickly became one of the most memorable Oprah moments of all time. Even now, a decade later, it continues to generate meme after meme.

May 26, 2015 10:07 PM EDT A fraternity at Penn State University will be shut for three years following allegations that members posted photos of nude, unconscious women on a private Facebook page, school officials said Tuesday. President Eric Barron said recognition of the chapter of Kappa Delta Rho would be withdrawn despite a student group’s recommendations for less severe punishment, Philly.com reports. The university’s investigation found some members regularly posted embarrassing photos of women online and used demeaning language to describe females.

This followed a claim by presidential spokesman, Bayo Onanuga, who said Obi supporters are the ones behind the planned nationwide protest against President Bola Tinubu's government. Referring to Obi supporters, Onanuga said, “They are not democrats but anarchists,” adding that they plan to “destabilise Nigeria by staging a civilian coup against President Bola Tinubu.” ADVERTISEMENT He also accused the organisers of the protest of lacking patience to wait for another cycle to unseat the President, alleging that it's the same set of people that orchestrated the EndSARS protest of October 2020, which later turned violent.

Yes, guys, Afro beats legend, Fela Anikulapo Kuti got married to 27 women in one day back in 1978 in what was seen as a very daring move. According to reports, Fela decided to make the bold move after rumours began to filter the air that he was holding the women in his band as captives. Fela in his usual rebel style was reported to have asked all the ladies in his band if they wanted to marry him, of which 27 of them agreed.

“Be more disappointing” is not a piece of advice most people would pay money to hear, but in my therapy office, it’s often the most valuable guidance I can give. My clients are mostly women, and nearly all of them struggle with a fear of disappointing others. Our culture rewards women for being perpetually pleasant, self-sacrificing, and emotionally in control, and it can feel counterintuitive for my clients to say “no”—or firmly assert their wants and needs.

The panorama of bedfellows depicted in erotica, and erotic cinema (or “sexploitation”), is vast; even if it’s somebody else’s yuck, there’s likely at least one scene or movie that captures your particular yum. But capital-A art, and especially academia, doesn’t always take this work as seriously at it deserves — as part of film history, much less as sociopolitical commentary on the people, places and times in which stories are told.

You were going to hear Sha’Carri Richardson’s first name a lot at the Tokyo Olympics. Richardson announced her arrival at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials last month, winning the women’s 100-m in dominant fashion, her long orange hair blazing down the track. She was America’s best hope to win 100-m gold since Gail Devers did it in 1996. Her style and swagger have earned comparisons to another American great, 100-m world-record holder Florence Griffith Joyner.

February 14, 2012 4:30 PM EST When John, Paul, George and Ringo first made it across the pond in 1964 to play before their adoring, screaming fans in the States—including, famously, performances on The Ed Sullivan Show that mark, for many people, the true beginning of rock and roll’s British Invasion—LIFE photographers capture the Liverpool lads’ wry spirit, their charm and their youth. (Were they really ever that young?) Here, then, a short selection of pictures from 1964, when a quartet of mop-topped Brits landed on America’s shores and changed the pop-culture landscape forever.

Gianluca Jodice's Locarno opener revisits a much-filmed chapter of history with a de-frilled austerity that feels decidedly new. The court of Louis XVI is stripped to a faded, festering husk of itself in “The Flood,” a stark study of the king’s last days in which the luxurious trappings of French monarchy disappear before our eyes — until only its literal architecture remains.

When it comes to falling apart, no actor is more together than Elisabeth Moss. In writer-director Leigh Whannell’s jaggedly effective psychological horror thriller The Invisible Man, Moss plays Cecilia, a woman who flees her abusive, controlling partner and lives in fear that he’ll find her—until she gets word that he’s died and left her a whopping inheritance. (He’s a tech billionaire and “optics” genius, and he’s played by Oliver Jackson-Cohen.) That’s when her problems really begin: Everywhere she goes—and especially when she’s at home at night—she feels Adrian’s eyes on her.

The Pomeroy location told customers the decision to ditch pizza "was made by McDonald’s Corporate office," according to Grub Street. That means that pizza is now only on the menu at one McDonald's location in the US — a restaurant in Florida that actually added pizza to the menu in 2016. ADVERTISEMENT To mourn the loss of the only two McDonald's that have remained dedicated to pizza since the McPizza's glory days, here's a walk down memory lane at the pizza-slinging fast-food locations.

United Airlines is facing another mishap after a giant rabbit was found dead at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport earlier this week — the same airport where a passenger was dragged off a flight earlier this month.

Barry's Bootcamp As Healthland’s reviewer of workouts both wacky and strenuous, I’ve jumped on trampolines and hung upside-down on acrobatic yoga silks. This week, I resolved to keep my feet planted firmly on the ground and attempt a Hollywood fitness guru favorite: Barry’s Bootcamp. Barry’s Bootcamp is a Los Angeles-based company with studios along the coasts. The classes pair traditional boot camp-style workout routines with high-energy tunes and red disco lights.

In the upcoming drama “The Burdened” (“Al Murhaqoon”), about a family of five faced with a difficult decision, director Amr Gamal readies to tackle the subject that continues to ruffle feathers, and not just in his native Yemen: abortion.

The movie Woman Walks Ahead — opening Friday, starring Jessica Chastain, Michael Greyeyes and Sam Rockwell — centers on what might seem like a minor moment in history: the 19th century efforts of Catherine Weldon, a white woman from Brooklyn, to paint a portrait of Lakota Sioux Chief Sitting Bull. But the story of the painting, which plays a much smaller role in the real history of Sitting Bull and Weldon than it does in the movie, is actually a window into a pivotal moment in American history.

1. The term “homosexual” didn’t exist until 1892. Some modern Bible translations say that “homosexuals” will not inherit the kingdom of God, but neither the concept nor the word for people with exclusive same-sex attraction existed before the late 19th century. While the Bible rejects lustful same-sex behavior, that’s very different from a condemnation of all gay people and relationships. 2. Sexual orientation is a new concept—one that the Christian tradition hasn’t addressed.

Two people were shot Saturday night at a party in a North Carolina nightclub, where the rappers T.I., Young Jeezy, Yo Gotti and Young Dolph were scheduled to appear.

On Tuesday, December 7, 2021, we will remember Pearl Harbor, the 1941 Japanese attack on the U.S. naval base on Oahu, Hawaii, for the eightieth time. It is a ritual remembrance that has much to reveal about Americans’ present-day understanding of themselves and their country’s role in the world, especially at a moment when we are also trying to understand the exit from Afghanistan. What happens on such anniversaries reveals the double edge of a nation’s memory, which offers a sense of strength and unity even as it tends to foreclose a certain kind of future.

A lot of times, people ask me how to acquire a taste because they want to learn how to like kale—or, even more commonly, they want to find out how to get their kids to like healthy foods. The truth is that we’re not genetically predisposed to dislike certain foods. In fact, we’re predisposed to like the majority of them (with the exceptions being bitter and ammoniated things because they can be hallmarks of spoilage or something that’s not necessarily safe).

Ashley Graham has her very own Barbie!

A 2011 memo made public Wednesday by Wikileaks revealed new details of how former President Bill Clinton made tens of millions of dollars for himself and his wife, then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, through an opaque, ethically messy amalgam of philanthropic, business and personal activities.

You’re minding your own business, cleaning your bathroom, when an unwelcome guest scuttles out of nowhere. Few among us wouldn’t recoil in disgust—or flat out run away—from the dreaded cockroach. And why shouldn’t we? Roaches are big and slick and thrive in the dank, dark areas of our homes that most of us find repellent. Cockroaches have also been around since the age of the dinosaurs. Their apparent indomitability adds another layer to their creepiness: evidence suggests that roaches can survive nuclear fallout.

Because House of Cards, like all Netflix series, drops entire seasons in a single go, it’s been hard to figure out quite how to write or talk about the series. An article like this one, appearing about a week and a half after the show’s fourth season launched, comes too late for many of the show’s fans; they’ve digested the season already and moved on. For others, it’s too early, possibly by years—since Netflix’s entire strategy is to build up a library of content that viewers can watch anytime.

SPOILER ALERT: This article contains minor spoilers for “The Exorcist: Believer,” now playing in theaters.

SpaceX has never been reluctant to brag, especially when it comes to its celebrated Falcon 9 rocket. Since 2010, as a company toteboard shows, 217 Falcon 9s have flown, with 61 launches in 2022 alone, making it the workhorse of the current global space fleet. So what’s not to like?

In the immediate months that followed the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world as we knew it wasturned upside down. Like most people, I was constrained to observing the situation from inside my home and the World Economic Forum’s empty offices, and I relied on video calls to know how others were doing. Since those early moments of the crisis, it has been hard to be optimistic about the prospect of a brighter global future.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v7k6-eEBrk] Dr. Evil had one simple request to properly arm his lair – he wanted “sharks with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads.” While his right-hand man Number Two couldn’t deliver on this rather simple setup (instead, he offered ill-tempered sea bass), Australian marine biologist-turned-TV host Luke Tipple was able to turn it into reality. To be sure, this lemon shark with a laser clamped to its dorsal fin won’t be zapping any evildoers into a fiery pile of rubble, but it fulfills a fantasy of movie buffs – and of course, evil doctors – everywhere.

This review contains spoilers for the series finale of The Good Place. The Good Place rebooted itself so many times over the course of four seasons that we should’ve known it was never going to settle for just one ending.

None of us could ever forget Pizza Rat.

Simón Bolívar lived a sweeping, epic life. The Latin American independence hero swanned around the salons of revolutionary-era Paris, skulked in the Guyanese jungle and enlisted the aid of roughriding cowboys and mercenary privateers, among others, in his campaigns. He wooed myriad women while remaining utterly devoted to the principles of the Enlightenment. He was born into one of the highest rungs of the Spanish colonial elite — a plantation-owning family in Caracas — but would be the man who would go on to liberate Spanish America’s slaves.

This year big-league professional football will be 21 years old. Last week its guardians hired an outsider to manage its man-sized affairs.

It borrows from movies like 'Alien,' but the one it conjures most is 'Little Shop of Horrors.' In “Sting,” a giant-spider-grows-in-Brooklyn thriller that’s cheeky, bloody, and (most important) very gooey, Sting is the name given by Charlotte (Alyla Browne), a precocious tween, to the elegant two-inch-long black spider that becomes her pet (she keeps it in a jar and feeds it bugs).

Many of the best nonfiction books of the decade tap into the lives of individuals to speak to universal human experiences — those of grief and recovery, hubris and failure, dreams and disappointments. Some, in their intimate specificity, open doors to worlds that only few have seen. All employ dazzling prose to draw readers further into their insights. And taken together, they reflect a decade’s worth of brilliant successes in locating unassailable truths: those to which we’ve been willfully blind, those we’ve too long feared facing and those we didn’t know were waiting to be discovered.

Underneath the Empire State building, a maze of pipes, gauges and steel valve wheels that comprise the building’s chiller plant look as if they might have remained unchanged since President Herbert Hoover turned on the tower’s iconic lights at its opening in 1931. Despite their appearance, those enormous heat exchange machines have been thoroughly upgraded on the inside. They have been gutted and reassembled using much of their original materials as part of an extensive and unprecedented retrofit—launched a decade ago, but ongoing to this day—that saw this Big Apple landmark reworked top to bottom in an effort to save energy and reduce costs.

They weren't the only memorable part of the 2010 World Cup (this was the year, after all, of Paul the Psychic Octopus, may he rest in peace) but vuvuzelas dominated the international soccer event, even more than victorious Spain. The plastic horns, popular in host-nation South Africa, were persistently blown during matches, making what many fans and players considered to be an insufferable sound akin to sitting inside a beehive.

Columbia Pictures One of the most impressive things about Zero Dark Thirty, which has been out in wide release in the U.S. for three weekends, is that it manages to maintain suspense even though we all already know what happens. It’s a movie about the hunt for Osama bin Laden, and we don’t need a spoiler warning on the news that the hunt was successful. But that doesn’t mean the end of the movie is predictable — so you should stop reading here if you haven’t already seen it.

Brian Kersey / APNickname: “Nuke” Sport: Boxing Country: USA One might understandably assume that an Olympic-caliber bantamweight boxer tagged with a nickname like “Nuke” earned the moniker because of, say, his explosive punching power.

In 2023, we have witnessed plenty of shock events: consider, for instance, Hamas’ attack on Israel and Israel’s subsequent siege on Gaza, Chinese "spy balloons,” the assassination of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, and even UFOs that may be extraterrestrial. Shock events are risks—or threats to stability—that, while they are in the realm of possibility, are very hard to predict. That said, attempting to determine what they are can serve as a useful tool to help decision makers, from policymakers and investors to businesses and nonprofits, prepare for unexpected challenges in the future.

It’s called soul music for the intensity with which its singers deliver a lyric: hearts on fire, the best seem to testify as they sing, wrenching their body when they perform, bellowing a message, funky and free. Bobby Womack was the quintessential soul man. The superb singer and songwriter, who wrote hit songs later put onto wax by the Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin and Wilson Pickett, and made a string of iconic R&B albums in the ’70s before having a career resurgence in recent years, lived his life with the same passion and, at times, reckless abandon that made him a dynamic musical force.

This piece discusses the finale of Love Is Blind Season 5. When the one and only couple that got married in the fifth season of Netflix’s Love Is Blind exchanged vows in Friday’s finale, my heart sank.

Interpreting the Bible is not easy. The Bible is an assortment of sacred myths, metaphors, and allegories born of a world very different than our own. Though its writings predate many critical scientific discoveries regarding the natural world, both the Hebrew Bible and New Testament are replete with lasting moral truths and inspirational accounts.

Conversely, numerous proverbs and parables bear witness to the wisdom of generosity, compassion, and gratitude.

Unlike purchasing a cat litter box or even one of those fancy automatic cat feeders, an effective flea treatment can be tricky for the average pet owner to find. Instead, we consulted with a panel of veterinarians and pet experts to find out the best flea treatments for cats, along with other ways to get the jump on those pesky critters.

Whether you’re going for the farmhouse vibe or want a durable option in case of spills, a slipcovered sofa is a fantastic choice for style and functionality. A slipcovered sofa is simply a sofa with a removable, washable cover (with some even machine-washable) and nowadays they are as pretty as they are practical. But not all slipcover sofas look like the stark white ones plastered all over Instagram either. There’s a myriad of choices available no matter your favorite design aesthetic, budget, or fabric needs.

ROMANTIC ADVENTURE—Elinor Glyn—Dutton ($3.50). A generation ago, Elinor Glyn was a name that caused many a ruction between the world and his wife. To the world, Author Glyn was hot stuff; to his wife, she was a Creature who wrote Vile Books. The post-War world can hardly remember what all the shouting was about, can just barely recollect that Elinor Glyn once wrote a notorious bestseller, Three Weeks, was credited with inventing “It,” an outmoded synonym for the equally outmoded expression “sex appeal.

Virality is fleeting, and TJ Mack, one of Brian Jordan Alvarez’s face-filtered, fully developed characters, seems to be grappling with this difficult truth in a TikTok Alvarez recently posted. Mack looks somber as he peers out an open window on a drive home through New York City. He seems pensive, perhaps even grateful for the song that made him ultra-famous, but most importantly, he is sitting. Viral fame can be gone as quickly as it came, but through it all, Mack—and, by extension, Alvarez—is sitting and taking in the moment.

Some actors like to pose for portraits. They enjoy the exchange with the photographer and the moment when they feel they have been looking their best. But not Meryl Streep. I met Meryl in 1978 on the set of Kramer vs. Kramer. We also did the poster for the movie and then kept working together from time to time. I took this portrait in 1988 for Interview Magazine’s cover story. I was surprised that Meryl Streep agreed to it, as I knew she committed so rarely.

He also composed a series of works known as Jewish Cycle, which includes pieces like Trois poèmes juifs and Israel Symphony.

According to a study published in the Journal of Consumer Psychology, researchers from the Colorado State University said overweight cartoon characters such as Shrek and Homer Simpson can "activate the overweight stereotype" in children, causing them to eat more than they should. In the words of lead study author, Margaret C. Campell, children have a "tendency to eat almost twice as much indulgent food as kids who are exposed to perceived healthier looking cartoon characters or no characters at all"

Imagine an America where women had the right to vote but could be rejected for a job because of their gender. Imagine an America where women were refused admission to colleges and technical schools and denied access to credit cards. Imagine wanting to buy a house and being turned down for a mortgage because you’re a woman. Imagine being a teacher and being fired for being pregnant. This is what America was like before the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Jenn Jarmula, an elementary- and middle-school teacher in Chicago, recently hung a sign outside her classroom. This Is A Fidget Spinner Free Zone, it read. Fidget spinners — which dominate Amazon’s top-selling toys and games list — are nothing more than gadgets with three weighted prongs that spin, spin, spin on the fingers of sixth-graders like tiny ceiling fans. They’ve existed in some form since 1993, but lately they’ve grown so popular that retailers can barely keep them in stock.

In an exclusive interview with SVTV, she said that having dated about 150 men, almost all of them wanted nothing but her boobs. "Most of the guys I dated wanted my boobs. Some of them fall asleep while fondling them, only four wanted sex,” Queen Paticia as she is known on Instagram said. She added that she doesn't go out much because guys harass anytime she goes out.

I have seen the best-paid minds of my generation urinate. That’s because my editor agreed to send me to the Oscars only if I spent the entire time in the men’s bathroom. That’s because my editor is a mean, bitter woman who has serious jealousy issues about my career and wants to sleep with me. I’m very good at this revenge thing. But it turns out that staying in the bathroom is no worse than watching the ceremony, which is the least manly way of spending an evening other than crocheting while watching the Miss America Pageant.

Police have arrested a man who allegedly tried to sell two 7-foot cow costumes designed for fast-food chain Chick-fil-A online, the Associated Press reports. Robert Michael Trytten, 43, allegedly posted the black-and-white getups on Craigslist on Oct. 30, asking for $350 a piece, according to Redlands, Calif. police. An undercover officer met up with the seller to buy the costumes “for Halloween,” and arrested him. Trytten is now being held on a $275,000 bail for “suspicion of possession of the stolen property.

During her time working with underserved communities in southwest Philadelphia, Maureen George encountered many unconventional asthma treatments, including the use of homemade botanical teas or tonics. “You find there’s a rich history of using these home remedies to manage asthma, in part because accessing traditional medicine has been difficult or resulted in disappointing interactions,” says George, a professor of nursing at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. George has published research on asthma self-management and the use of complementary or alternative medicine.

Before the Velvet Underground, and before he became one of the most important songwriters of his generation, Lou Reed was a songwriter for hire at a company called Pickwick Records. He churned out songs deliberately intended to be top 40 hits and released under a variety of fake group names, the most successful of which was a song that they’d hoped would spawn a dance craze, “The Ostrich.

TIME November 7, 1988 12:00 AM EST Rock star Jon Bon Jovi grins impishly on the cover of the November Spin, but he was scarcely noticed when the music magazine came out last week. All the attention focused on a novel promotion — a free condom attached to an inside page. It was meant to encourage safe sex, Spin said, but some retailers flinched. Waldenbooks, Lucky supermarkets and Walgreen drugstores banned the issue.

March 27, 2012 4:00 AM EDT Photographers Alex Troesch and Aline Paley first saw the long, pointy Mexican boots on a video through Facebook. “It was so funny at first, seeing this group of people dancing in the boots to this crazy music,” Troesch says. “But then we realized how great it was to see another side of northern Mexico—people being silly and having fun. It’s usually portrayed as so rough, with a lot of violence.

For as long as Seemay Chou can remember, she has gone to bed at midnight and woken around 4:30 a.m. Chou long assumed that meant she was a bad sleeper. Not that she felt bad. In fact, sleeping just four hours a night left her feeling full of energy and with free time to get more done at her job leading a research lab that studies bacteria. “It feels really good for me to sleep four hours,” she says.

Silk Road is a black-market website on which buyers and sellers of illicit products, mostly drugs, could come together anonymously using software like Tor, which conceals web browsers’ identity. When the FBI announced this week that it had seized the site’s servers and arrested its alleged owner and operator, Ross William Ulbricht, the Internet almost immediately began speculating over the ramifications. One possible effect of the Silk Road’s demise would be a precipitous drop in the value of the virtual currency Bitcoin, which Silk Road’s users exchanged for illicit wares.

In a gilded age when sables were a princess’ best friend, the nation’s best place to buy sables was Manhattan’s C. G. Gunther’s Sons. Founded in 1820 by a German immigrant associated with Fur Trader John Jacob Astor, Gunther’s not only combed Siberia for the finest sables, but bid in the London market for the finest ermine, sent its agents across Canada on the lookout for mink. Even men coveted the Gunther’s label.

Nathan Willett likes to read. The 31-year-old lead singer of Cold War Kids revisits his favorite J.D. Salinger books at least once a year and is more likely to reference Hemingway than the Rolling Stones when talking about his songwriting. It’s no wonder then that the California rock quartet’s stark, bluesy 2006 debut, Robbers & Cowards , ignored the standby topics of love and lust, instead spinning moody, literary tales of sin, faith and redemption.

It’s January, 1984. Steve Jobs, nattily attired in a double-breasted suit, is demonstrating Apple’s breakthrough personal computer, Macintosh, before a packed room. He speaks alarmingly of a future controlled by IBM, and shows a dystopian commercial based on that theme. He says that the Mac is “insanely great” and plucks the diminutive machine from a bag; it talks for itself. Screens of a graphical user interface — something few people had seen at the time — swoop by.

BAR HARBOR, Maine — Atlantic storm Lee made landfall at near-hurricane strength Saturday, bringing destructive winds, rough surf and torrential rains to New England and Maritime Canada. But officials withdrew some warnings for the region and predicted the storm would disappear early this week.

Rereading the entirety of the Harry Potter series is never a bad idea. But if you’re looking to branch out from J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world into other enchanted literary universes, there’s no shortage of books like Harry Potter; stories that will soon have you saying “Accio more!” These tales may not have Hogwarts or Dumbledore, but from talking polar bears to bewitched manuscripts, they each feature unique spellbinding elements that are sure to get you hooked.

November 26, 2014 2:41 PM EST One tequila with a splash of intrigue, please. The bartender at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Raymond James Stadium was reportedly caught serving flavored water as alcohol, local NBC affiliate WFLA reports.

March 18, 1662 — The first public buses began to run on this day – an idea probably 200 years ahead of its time. The service, introduced in Paris, was abandoned in 1675 and public transport did not return to the streets of any major city until 1895. The idea was promoted by Blaise Pascal who was a man of many talents: physicist, philosopher, mathematician, inventor, author – the list went on.

Almost nobody knew his name. Nobody outside his immediate neighborhood had read his words or heard him speak. Nobody knows what happened to him even one hour after his moment in the world’s living rooms. But the man who stood before a column of tanks near Tiananmen Square–June 5, 1989–may have impressed his image on the global memory more vividly, more intimately than even Sun Yat-sen did. Almost certainly he was seen in his moment of self-transcendence by more people than ever laid eyes on Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and James Joyce combined.

Proof-positive test of a good team name: say it once out loud in front of people and if any one groans, rolls an eye or falls asleep, don’tuse it.

Here's how it works: Tell Under Armour what kind of clothes you like and how you work out, and they'll ship you a box with four to six items for you to consider purchasing. No purchase is required, there's no fee, and shipping is free both ways. If you like the whole box and buy it all, you'll get a 20% discount. It that sounds familiar, that's because Stitch Fix works nearly the exact same way.

While it was helpful to get players' perspectives on their peers' seasons, the process also led to some odd votes, including many for undeserving players, some for players who hadn't played this season, and, in one case, some for a player who has yet to play an NBA game in his career, Ben Simmons. However, LeBron James was unfazed by the results. Speaking to the media on Friday, James said he voted for who he thought deserved to be in the game.

Spend a few minutes browsing social media, or watch groups of travelers posing in front of a popular tourist attraction, and you’re bound to come across it: attractive young Asians flashing smiles and making the V-for-Victory sign (or peace sign). The raised index and middle fingers, with palm facing outward, are as much a part of Asian portraiture as saying cheese is to English speakers. But why? To non-Asians, the gesture seems so intrinsically woven into the popular culture of Beijing, Osaka or Taipei as to make it seem that it was forever thus — but, in fact, its earliest origins date back no further than the late 1960s, and the gesture didn’t really find widespread acceptance until the late 1980s.

Taiwan’s Kavalan Solist Vinho Barrique is now officially the best single malt whiskey on earth, according to the World Whiskies Awards. The contest’s judges described the malt as “surprisingly smooth on the palate” and added: “it’s like Bourbon infused milk chocolate.” The spirit is produced at the King Car distillery in northeastern Taiwan’s Yilan County, where the whiskey is aged in American oak barrels that once stored white and red wines.

The makeup brand Youthforia is facing criticism online over the darkest shade of its Date Night foundation. Youthforia, launched in 2021, caught flack in Oct. 2023 after releasing 15 shades of the Date Night Skin Tint that several beauty influencers, mainly those with darker skin tones, called out for not being inclusive. The brand expanded their shade range in March, releasing 10 new foundation shades, in response to the criticism. But Youthforia's attempt to right their wrongs is facing even more backlash.

Billionaires from the US took up six positions in the list while the only outsider, France, took the top position. Nigeria’s Aliko Dangote failed to make the first 100 names as he ranked in 144th Position with an estimated net worth of $13.4 billion. According to the 38th edition of Forbes billionaires list, the billionaires have a combined worth of $14.2 trillion and their number has increased by 141 from last year's figures to hit an all-round high of 2,781.

While Hurricane Gustav was chewing up Cuba and storming toward Louisiana, the screen of the Venice Film Festival's Sala Grande was showing a very sweet tsunami. In the animated movie Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, the swelling waves take the form of dolphins, and when a Japanese coastal village gets submerged no one is killed or hurt — just amusingly displaced. The rising up of the marine world is not insurrection against humanity but gently cautionary instruction for it.

You’ve written several best sellers about faith and family, but you’re not a conventional Christian author. How do you feel about being the bad girl of the born-again set? Well, I don’t really see myself as a born-again. I did convert at 31 from being a kind of nondenominational, kitchen-sink believer and seeker, but to my born-again brother, I’m Abbie Hoffman. You like to call God Phil. Why? It’s because of this bracelet a Mexican vendor made.

If this sounds like you, then your best approach for finding a job could be searching for work where people skills aren't all that necessary. To find these jobs, we averaged data from the Occupational Information Network, or O*NET, a US Department of Labor database full of detailed information on more than 900 occupations. ADVERTISEMENT While we're not suggesting that people who hold these positions are all standoffish, the following jobs pay on average more than $55,000 a year according to O*NET, have an average required sociability score of 65 or less, and therefore require minimal good-natured interaction with others.

Where it was once unimaginable for women to ask men out, or declare sexual interest in them first, they are now being encouraged to get their game on. To some extent, the ice-cold Nigerian attitude towards women dating younger men has begun to thaw, but there still seems to be a long way before the idea flows into all cultures and becomes truly mainstream. ADVERTISEMENT 1. Mother-in-laws Many Nigerian families still frown on sons who decide to marry older women and that discontent and disapproval is always more vocal from the mothers.

All-time summer heat records keep buckling under the weight of rising global temps—a trend that hits home, literally and figuratively, when you receive your monthly air conditioning bill. Unfortunately, mistakes you’re making with your home AC may be undercutting its efficiency, effectiveness, and safety, experts say. “If you have a badly maintained system, it can become contaminated with microorganisms that may be harmful if inhaled,” says Mark Mendell, a staff scientist with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Indoor Environment Group.

In 2019 Morgan Enselme, a contestant who participated in the French Big Brother adaptation Secret Story France 5 in 2011, did what many other reality stars deemed unthinkable: she spoke out against the superpower production company that runs the popular show. Over a 30-minute YouTube video, Enselme gave a look into the otherwise mysterious workings of reality TV. Enselme alleged that throughout the casting, filming, and post-production of the show—which required her to be sequestered from the world for 13 weeks—she experienced psychological manipulation, including restricted access to her prescribed antihistamines which led to severe symptoms, and, later, PTSD.

I was recently shopping for a new bra at a boutique in my neighborhood when the saleswoman handed me one in a brand I’d never tried before. Before I could protest that it wasn’t my size, she encouraged me to give it a go, and I was shocked. It fit perfectly! This is something large-busted people deal with regularly—whether shopping for strapless, wireless, lacy balconettes, or smooth t-shirt styles, there’s so much variety in sizing.

While the term “tennis shoe” has become a catch-all for any athletic shoe, the sport requires footwear made specially for performance on the court. Long lunges, quick pivots, and back-and-forth movements all add to the footwork needed to play the game well, and without the proper support, injuries can occur. The best way to test any shoe is to seek out a professional to measure your foot, but here’s a start to looking into buying tennis shoes for men.

Christopher Nolan delighted cinephiles a few years ago when he revealed that he’s a big fan of the “Fast & Furious” franchise. The director said on the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast at the time that he’s “got a very soft spot” for “Tokyo Drift” and praised Justin Lin’s entries in the franchise “as they got crazier and bigger and crazier and bigger and became something else, but something else kinda fun.

Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” has generated a lot of headlines due to its nudity and sex scenes, the first of the director’s career. Cillian Murphy, who plays the title character in Nolan’s biographical drama, was recently asked by GQ UK to weigh in on all of the buzz surrounding the “Oppenheimer” sex scenes, to which Murphy said they were “vital” to the film.

In the aftermath of Haiti's massive 7.0 earthquake, Google and the satellite-imagery company GeoEye were asked by aid organizations to take a new series of images of the Port-au-Prince area to give crisis responders (and the curious) a bird's-eye view of the damage to the city. The updated images were released late Wednesday, Jan. 13, providing a sobering look at the challenges facing Haitians and rescue workers on the scene. From the sky, the damage is clear: the city's infrastructure has crumbled, with toppled buildings and streets strewn with debris.

At first glance, the December video looks like just the latest rendition of a TikTok trend. On one side of the split screen “duet,” a video game car bounces down a mountain; on the other, the TikTok user “dr.noc” scrambles to talk as much as he can before the car slams into the ground.

Rep. James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, held a press conference on Wednesday to detail the latest updates in his investigation of Hunter Biden’s business dealings. The evidence so far does not directly implicate President Biden, but does suggest his son may have profited off of his famous name. Records of Hunter Biden’s activities also echo the foreign business dealings of the family members of another President. While in office, former President Trump remained connected to the Trump Organization, even as he passed control of the company to his two sons, Donald Trump Jr.

The solar eclipse set to cross North America on Monday, April 8, has humans aflutter with anticipation, but the phenomenon, and even more so the crowds it attracts, could be disorienting and anxiety-inducing for pets. During solar eclipses, when the sky briefly turns dark, dogs may cower, birds stop flying and grow quiet, and nocturnal creatures emerge.  But the bigger concerns for pets, veterinarians tell TIME, are the anticipated mass gatherings.

QAYYARA AIRBASE, Iraq, Sept 9 (Reuters) – The U.S.-led war on Islamic State has depleted the group’s funds, leadership and foreign fighters, but the biggest battle yet is expected later this year in Iraq’s northern city of Mosul, where Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared his “caliphate” two years ago. The jihadist insurgents have lost more than half the territory they seized in Iraq and nearly as much in neighboring Syria, but still manage to control their twin capitals of Mosul and Raqqa, symbols of the state they sought to build at the heart of the Middle East.

March 30, 2018 12:03 PM EDT Easter will fall on April Fools’ Day for the first time since 1956 on Sunday, giving Jimmy Kimmel the perfect opportunity to show off some pranks inspired by the double holiday. With the help of former NASA engineer Mark Rober, Kimmel demonstrated a few hilarious ways for parents to terrorize their children come Easter Sunday morning, including filling their chocolate bunnies with broccolini, coating Brussels sprouts with chocolate to make them look like cake pops and, worst of all, replacing the filling in a Cadbury Creme Egg with mayonnaise.

In an interview with Bill Simmons on Any Given Wednesday, Hill revealed he managed to bang out that scene when his character Donnie Azoff and Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) meet for the first time in just a few takes.

When the movie King Arthur: Legend of the Sword hits theaters Friday, it will add the latest twist to a legend that’s been evolving for nearly a millennium.

The political arm of Charles Koch’s ambitious network is preparing to start playing in Democratic primaries for the Senate, House and local roles, according to a memo being sent Friday. The decision is the result of a gradual shift away from aggressive and conservative politics inside the deep-pocketed donor network and one more toward comity and compromise. Several major donors had bristled at the partisan image built around the Koch network and have been lobbying leaders to get behind candidates that promote progress on issues like immigration reform, regardless of their party.

For 13 years, between 1997 and 2010, Anne Deniau was commissioned by Alexander McQueen to document his highly provocative and influential fashion shows. Her behind-the-scenes look at the late designer, who took his life in 2010, is compiled in Love Looks Not With The Eyes: Thirteen Years with Lee Alexander McQueen, a tome that contains over 400 images—some unpublished and others previously unseen—that capture the high drama, intensity and beauty behind the making of those shows.

Narrator: So how did Walsh get Larson in such good shape for this role? It wasn't easy. Larson trained with Walsh for about nine months before "Captain Marvel" started shooting. She started her career as an indie darling, gaining critical acclaim for movies like "Short Term 12" and then eventually won an Oscar for her performance in "Room." Playing a superhero is unlike anything she's done before. Jason: It was a highly physical role obviously, she's a superhero, so what you want to take into consideration is the day in, day out physical aspects, the stunt work that's gonna take place.

April 10, 2014 12:23 PM EDT Football fans may have to start taking out loans to demonstrate support for their teams. If you think the NFL is greedy and takes advantage of fan loyalty at every opportunity, what with franchises charging full price for (meaningless) preseason games and hitting season ticketholders with ridiculous mandatory “seat fees” just for the privilege of buying one’s tickets, add this to your list of grievances.

With Immaculate, Late Night With the Devil, and The First Omen all earning mostly favorable reviews from critics in recent weeks, 2024 is already turning into a banner year for religiously-themed horror movies.

While American-made religious horror often focuses on Christian traditions and beliefs by default—as TIME film critic Stephanie Zacharek wrote in her Immaculate review, "

On a January day in a drab, deserted hotel in Rome, the four members of Måneskin are back at work after a brief holiday following a whirlwind 2022 that saw the young Italians vault into rock stardom.

Night after night, everybody is there—cops, professors, bums, Wall Street customers’ men, out-of-work actors with Biblical haircuts, dye-blonde actresses with bright blue eyelids; sailors in summer whites, girls in their summer dresses, girls in slacks, pony-tailed skinks from Greenwich Village, and novice beards with the Penguin Classics in the hip hip pockets of their dungarees—fabricating laughter in all the archaic places. The crowd begins on folding chairs around a large and multi-proned stage, then spreads out onto bleachers and grass-covered slopes.

When I first asked the American special operations soldiers who among the fighters they worked with I should meet in Syria, one of the first names that always arose was Azeema. She came from Qamishli, a town in northeastern Syria, and was known for her relentless willingness to lead from the front, her swashbuckling manner, her chain-smoking ways and her wry sense of humor. She was part of the Women’s Protection Units, the all-women’s force that faced off against ISIS on the ground each day, fighting the men of the Islamic State room-by-room and house-by-house, and she had started fighting ISIS in 2013 before the group was officially born.

Vince Guaraldi‘s music for “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” perhaps the most beloved of all holiday specials, is getting a surprising new multi-disc release thanks to the recent discovery of long-forgotten tape reels in the Fantasy Records vaults.

In the late 1800s, before the Wright Brothers took off, earth’s annual average temperature was about 13.7 degrees Celsius. But since the Industrial Revolution, the global temperature has gone up by about 1 degree Celsius because greenhouse gas emissions (such as carbon dioxide) in the atmosphere trap heat like a blanket. Science says a hotter globe triggers extreme weather events: more fires, bigger floods, stronger hurricanes. Without drastic measures, researchers say, the climate consequences will be much, much worse.

As streaming services proliferate and thousands of new series flood our queues, it’s become increasingly difficult for TV shows to break through the noise. Maybe that’s why television creators have increasingly turned to books, comics, and articles for inspiration: Bridgerton and Moon Knight have built-in fans thanks to their source material. Even Inventing Anna could draw on an audience that obsessively followed the headlines about real-life scammer Anna Delvey. Recently, Hollywood has tried to pluck old ideas from yet another corner of the media landscape: podcasts.

November 6, 2014 3:41 PM EST Azealia Banks’ debut album, Broke With Expensive Taste, is sort of like the Loch Ness Monster of hip-hop: few expected it would show itself in this lifetime. But after years of delays and label disputes and her own trash-talking, it seems the “212” rapper has some news for ye-of-little-faith: the 16-song set is now available for purchase on iTunes. The move recalls Beyoncé’s surprise release of her self-titled visual album last December, though Banks fans got a bit more of a heads up than Mrs.

Born into a Norwegian immigrant family in 1911, Didrikson caught the eye of a Dallas insurance company with her basketball skills when she was 18; she quit school to join the firm’s Amateur Athletic Union hoops team.

The Coca-Cola Company wants to kick off 2024 with a family affair. A new campaign from the beverage giant that starts bubbling Tuesday emphasizes its broad portfolio of drinks, not just a single product such as Fanta, Diet Coke or Dasani as has been the company’s typical marketing strategy over the years. The TV commercial, which will appear in both 30- and 90-second versions, is believed to be the first in which Coca-Cola has put a spotlight on its wider product line, rather than on a single drink.

I avoided most of the critical coverage leading up to the September release of Olivia Rodrigo’s sophomore album Guts, in part because I found it preemptively exhausting. I could already predict the shape of the discourse. Would she live up to expectations? Was “Driver’s License” a singular, unrepeatable moment of viral success? Would anything come close to the hilarious and addictively singable “Good 4 U?” When would her affect of exaggerated teenage angst get tiresome?

When Doug Williams—the first Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl—saw the Kansas City Chiefs win the AFC Championship game two weeks ago, he grew emotional. “Tears didn’t come down my eyes,” Williams tells TIME. “But they were in my eyes.” Williams, who led Washington to a 42-10 Super Bowl victory over Denver in 1988, knew that for the first time in NFL history, two Black quarterbacks would be starting in the title game.

How are we feeling? As a world, that is. The global polling organization Gallup Inc. has been asking that question for the past 18 years with its Global Emotions poll—and this year, the answer is a little less bleak than you might think. Gallup researchers surveyed more than 146,000 people aged 15 years or older in 142 countries about their positive and negative experiences over the previous 24 hours. They then gave each country four scores on a scale of zero to 100: two scores for how present or lacking their positive experiences were, and two more corresponding to the prevalence of their negative experiences.

Most of Paris's luxury houses are busy chasing newer, younger, richer customers, but the venerable French luggage maker Goyard's latest project is all about reconnecting with its past. A new store across from the company's flagship on the Rue St.-Honoré in Paris, set to open in June, celebrates some of the company's oldest customers: pets. At the turn-of-the century, the Parisian malletier grabbed medals at the World's Fairs in Paris and London for its handsome designs and supplied English Royals, Sarah Bernhardt and John Rockefeller with trunks.

During the dry deliberations at the annual meeting of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association in Manhattan fortnight ago, two rival oases competed bitterly for the privilege of refreshing weary delegates. Not far from the door of the Waldorf Astoria’s convention chamber, Scripps-Howard’s Newspaper Enterprise Association lifted a banner to proclaim: “N. E. A.—WITH THE ONE & ONLY MAJOR HOOPLE!” Nearby, N. E. A.’s Hearstian arch-rival shrieked back in big black letters: “KING FEATURES— WITH THE ONE & ONLY GENE AHERN!

After eight years’ work in his home laboratory, an obscure New Jersey chemist last week claimed a grand prize in cigarette research: a filter that removes two-thirds of the tar and nicotine that now drifts past conventional filters, yet does not destroy the tobacco taste.

Houston Merritt, dean of Columbia’s College of Physicians and Surgeons.

A prequel to one of the great novels of the 20th century, Vasily Grossman’s 1960 book Life and Fate, finally appeared in English this year. Stalingrad is an epic novel, Tolstoyan in its proportions and ambition, about a Russian family’s struggles amid the Nazi march on Stalingrad in 1942. It is not quite as perfect as its sequel but stands out as a work of great immediacy and heart—an ideal historical novel for a new generation of readers.

NANTERRE, France — Slovakia swimmer Tamara Potocka collapsed poolside Friday morning after a qualifying heat of the women's 200-meter individual medley at the Paris Olympics when she had an asthma attack, a team spokesman said. Potocka, 21, was given first aid and carried off on a stretcher while wearing an oxygen mask. Medical personal at the pool said she was conscious. “They transferred her to the hospital in the Olympic Village and our team doctor is waiting for her there,” Slovakia Olympic Committee spokesman Lubomír Souček told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

It’s hard to imagine what a dolphin or a whale needs a pelvic bone for. Sure, the structure was important 40 million years ago, when the ancestors of these seagoing mammals were walking around on land and had actual legs attached to actual hips.

Some portentous voices out of the underworld a quarter-century ago: “Kennedy’s not going to make it to the ((1964)) election — he’s going to be hit.” — Santo Trafficante, the top Florida mobster, to an FBI informer in August 1962. “You know what they say in Sicily: if you want to kill a dog, you don’t cut off the tail, you cut off the head.” — Carlos Marcello, Mafia boss in New Orleans, to an acquaintance that same month, explaining why President John Kennedy, not Attorney General Robert Kennedy, would be killed.

I just had a baby and I’m angry. Let me clarify: I just had a baby six months ago, I’ve been back at work for three of them now, and I’m angry.

The classic leather boot has had many names over the years—lace-up, cowboy, congress, pale rider. To get your work boots on your feet 200 or so years ago, you would stand up and grab two small leather flaps on the sides, known as bootstraps, and pull the boot up. From this everyday activity, the idiom “to pull yourself up by your bootstraps” was born—and with it, a torturous myth that true success meant getting ahead on only your energy and steam, without help from your family, government, or community.

After her wedding, Deesha Dyer didn’t share just glamor shots and videos on her social-media feeds. She posted a list of the vendors and small businesses she’d worked with, and proudly declared that 85% were some combination of “Queer owned & operated, Asian owned & operated, Black owned & operated, Women owned & operated, Hispanic owned & operated, Veteran owned & operated.” This note by Dyer, the CEO of the social-impact consulting company Hook & Fasten, is emblematic of a broader cultural push over the past few years to buy BIPOC, an acronym which stands for Black, Indigenous, and people of color.

Spooked by the success of premium small cars from Mercedes-Benz, GM elected to rebadge its awful mass-market J-platform sedans, load them up with chintzy fabrics and accessories and call them "Cimarron, by Cadillac."

The U.S. Army has a problem with Velcro. It’s too noisy. And its little loops get clogged with dust from the Afghan and Iraqi deserts. The so-called “hook-and-loop” fastener was added to standard issue uniforms in 2004, but a plethora of complaints from dissatisfied soldiers led to a year-long investigation, which in turn led to an official decision to remove Velcro from military uniforms starting this August. “Taliban attacks come and go,” said Loren Thompson, a military analyst at the Lexington Institute in a June 15 USA Today story, “but dust is constant in Afghanistan.

It happened by accident last year that Pine Street Inn, a Boston homeless shelter and job-training center, held its graduation on the same day as Harvard’s. But this year director Erik Payne Butler scheduled his ceremony last Thursday on purpose–a reminder, he says, that his graduates should be as celebrated as those folks across the Charles River. And there was an added juxtaposition this year: at Pine Street the keynote speaker was former Labor Secretary Robert Reich; Harvard welcomed Federal Reserve Board Chairman Alan Greenspan to speak to alums and graduates.

Brittney Cooper is a black feminist theorist who teaches at Rutgers University and writes a weekly column for Salon.com The mutual girl crush that Michelle Obama and Beyoncé share is a serendipitous study in twenty-first-century Black girlhood, womanhood and ladyhood. In 2009, Beyoncé performed Etta James’s classic song “At Last” at one of the inauguration balls for President Obama. Coupled with the President’s professed admiration for Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, it seemed that the Obamas were kind of like the well-heeled, older brother and sister doppelgangers of Hip Hop’s First Couple.

Adapted from the video game of the same name, HBO’s “The Last of Us” finds Pedro Pascal’s Joel in a post-apocalyptic landscape not unlike “The Walking Dead,” the zombie series that gave Steven Yeun his breakout role in 2010.

Many people say that hip-hop was birthed by DJ Kool Herc on a 1973 summer evening in the Bronx. Others point to the release of the 1979 Sugarhill Gang song “Rapper’s Delight” as the moment when the genre was catapulted into the national consciousness. But several years before either of those moments, Rudy Ray Moore was rhyming over a beat. On his 1970 album Eat Out More Often, the comedian, propelled by a backing band, spit profane and slang-laced poems about America’s mystical underbelly of prostitutes, hustlers and thieves — including one character named Dolemite, a slick-talking, karate-chopping pimp who exposed corrupt officials and defeated seedy rivals.

I’ve been an English professor for nearly 20 years, but people still tell me I don’t look like one. Not because I’m young (I’m not), but because I’m Asian American. Whenever professors are depicted in shows or movies, they’re usually stereotypes—elitist, intimidating, eccentric, out of touch, occasionally inspiring—and they’re almost always white and male and, yes, wearing wool jackets. So for me it was startling, even emotional, to see Sandra Oh as a professor trying to run a dysfunctional English department at an East Coast liberal arts university on the Netflix show The Chair.

But the French capital looks more like a city of water right now, as the Seine bulges out of its banks. The water is more than five times its normal level.

Tonight, President Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump face one another in an unprecedented televised debate. The format has been around since the 1960 presidential election, but the timing, structure, and candidates themselves—notably one being a convicted felon—represent uncharted waters for TV debates. Typically, the media zeroes in on protocols, performance, polling, and gaffes—with journalists often prioritizing horse-race style coverage over voter education. How might the debate nudge the scale for the candidates, as determined by the inevitable follow-up polling?

Most films from Sweden are either saturated with sex or infatuated with Ingmar Bergman, or both. In two mettlesome new movies, a pair of little-known Swedish directors make no effort whatever to change the subject, which is still man-woman-mattress, but they owe little more to Bergman than full-bodied performances by several of his favorite actors.

The story of Queen Victoria is surprisingly and deeply intertwined with the birth of photography as a medium. In an exhibition opening at The Getty Museum in Los Angeles on Feb. 4, curator Anne Lyden has organized a comprehensive look at Victoria’s relationship to and influence on photography, from her first encounters with it as a young woman to her seminal Diamond Jubilee portrait. Victoria grasped from a young age what it would take the rest of the world many years to realize: that photography could be both an artistic medium as well as a mechanism of propaganda.

August 18, 1587 — Virginia Dare was born on this day. She was the first-ever person of English parents to be born in the United States and as such would have commanded great interest in her life and times, going on to generate intense public attention, probably inspiring magazine and newspaper articles, and books. Unfortunately, nothing is known about her. That’s because Virginia and the entire colony that she belonged to vanished from the place where they had settled in what is now North Carolina.

On a recent Saturday morning in Washington, D.C., about two dozen secondary-and-elementary-school teachers experienced a role reversal. This time, it was their turn to take a quiz: answer “true” or “false” for 14 statements about the famous meal known as the “First Thanksgiving.” Did the people many of us know as pilgrims call themselves Separatists? Did the famous meal last three days? True and true, they shouted loudly in unison. Were the pilgrims originally heading for New Jersey?

My first home had a back door that opened to a concrete patio with a giant crack down the middle. When my sister and I played, I made sure to stay on the same side of the divide as her, just in case.

June 2, 2017 7:00 AM EDT Though Wonder Woman is an origin story, largely set during World War I, the movie begins with a modern-day Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) receiving a photograph in the mail.

It shows her in full Wonder Woman regalia standing with Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and the rest of their cohort in what appears to be a war-torn city.

July 2, 2014 9:31 AM EDT One of the breakouts of The Fault in Our Stars is missing. No, not Shailene Woodley or Ansel Elgort, but the canal-side bench that the two sit on during a trip to Amsterdam.

Renting an apartment without some established credit history can be a challenge. Most landlords will request a review of your credit report when you apply and base qualification—at least partially—on the listed data. If your file shows satisfied loans, consistent on-time payments, and little to no debt, it will indicate that you can manage money well and should be a responsible tenant. Some landlords will check your full credit report, while others will only request your credit score, which is based on the information in your reports.

Big Data: the friend you met at a bar after your usual two drinks, plus one. You leaned in, listening more intently than usual. “Digital footprint.” “Information Age.” You nodded and smiled, even though you didn’t understand. “Change the world.” “The future.” You were impressed—and even if you weren’t, you faked it well. Come morning, you have only fuzzy recollections of Big Data, its tag lines and buzzwords. You also find it vaguely reprehensible.

Red Ball Express (Universal-International) is a tardy tribute to the U.S. Army transportation crews which sped gas, ammunition and food to Patton’s Third Army when it outran its supply lines during the August 1944 Allied breakthrough in France. Red Ball Express (railroadese for top priority freight) captures some of the excitement of its subject through wartime combat film pieced out with action scenes shot at Fort Eustis, Va. But the picture is loaded down with a complex plot about a lieutenant (Jeff Chandler) whose top sergeant (Alex Nicol) hates him because he believes the lieutenant is responsible for the death of the sergeant’s brother in a prewar trucking accident.

Warning: This post contains spoilers for Game of Thrones season 8. Daenerys Targaryen cares about the Iron Throne more than anything else. Daenerys declared during the second episode of season 8 that she loved Jon Snow and even diverted her singular mission to capture the Iron Throne because of his war.

This story originally appeared on xoJane.com. At some level, I’ve known since before my oldest son was born that this moment would come. But when it did, it took me utterly and completely off guard. I was driving a car chock-full of boys home from a soccer tournament when my nine-year-old son piped up from the back. “Hey Mom! I’ve got a funny joke. I’ll ask you a question and you say, ‘Ketchup and rubber buns’.

From the moment I announced I was pregnant, the comments from other parents started rolling in: Hope you’re ready to never sleep again. All your hair is going to fall out.

It’s a very cool color. I can tell you nobody else in my circle of friends will be wearing something similar.

Any regular flyer will have experienced turbulence and probably dismissed it as nothing more than a few minutes of stomach-lurching discomfort. Spare a thought then for the 24 people hospitalized following a JetBlue flight affected by poor weather, an incident that proves turbulence has the capacity to be far more serious than just a few airborne bumps and jolts. The flight was forced to make an unexpected landing while en route from Boston to Sacramento Thursday evening, with a passenger telling NBC News that it “got really rocky”.

“The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest,” Kanye West said last year on Ye‘s opening track “I Thought About Killing You.” The line essentially sums up West’s career: he’s consistently excelled while wrestling with dualities—of faith versus temptation, high art and smut, love and heartbreak. On his best songs, like “Devil In A New Dress,” “Jesus Walks” and “Father Stretch My Hands,” he paired a desire for self-betterment with the ugliest and basest parts of his psyche, making the angel and the devil on his shoulders work in concert.

While there are numerous methods to tackle this situation, today we're exploring one of the more unconventional yet popular home remedies: baking soda.

TIME December 19, 1938 12:00 AM GMT-5 Heil Memel! In the semi-autonomous district of Memel, Lithuania, last week, the greeting everywhere was “Heil!” Uniformed storm troopers marched through the streets. Banners proclaiming the familiar One People, One Reich, One Will stretched across buildings. The only Nazi trappings missing were pictures of Adolf Hitler and swastikas. Lithuanian State police moved out. Lithuanian troops kept strictly to their barracks and the Lithuanian Governor, his decrees defied, resigned to be replaced by another who refrained from issuing orders.

After the Michigan Wolverines put the finishing touches on a perfect season on Monday night, outclassing the Washington Huskies 34-13 in the College Football Playoff national championship game in Houston, the asterisk calls came flooding in.

One involved reports of recruiting violations during COVID-19, and the other was a sign-stealing imbroglio that became the talk of college football—and all sports—over these past few months.

As a beauty writer, I’m bombarded with new products, services, and devices. I was lucky enough to recently try the NuFace Mini, an at-home microcurrent device that many people recommended and is frequently mentioned in numerous NuFace reviews.

So, I decided to try at-home skincare tools before I made the commitment to starting Botox.

Polyamory seems to have burst upon the American mainstream over the past two decades. The deluge of podcasts, TV shows, books, and magazine articles detailing polycules,metamores, throuples, threesomes, and moresomes testifies to the growing number of Americans willing to jettison monogamy. Voices celebrating or lamenting polyamory’s newfound popularity come from predictable sources. Though studies have shown that Americans from across the political spectrum have embraced forms of consensual non-monogamy, it tends to be liberal progressives who publicly laud polyamory as the next stage of the sexual revolution, while religious conservatives bemoan it as the next step in more than half a century of moral decline.

City Guide: Portland It's the largest independent chain of bookstores in the world, and when you visit the aptly named flagship shop, Powell's City of Books, you'll need a map to find your way around (the store provides one). For a long time, Powell's enormity was a measure of how much Portlanders loved books. But now, with even big-box bookstores flailing, Powell's continued success points to Portland's wily, geeky business acumen: the store does a brisk online business, holds money-making book events and still utterly beguiles everyone else in the world who loves books.

"Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now there are 3 million drug addicts. I'd be happy to slaughter them," Rodrigo Duterte, the Philippines' President, has said. His approach is as ill considered as his grasp of history (more than half of Hitler's 11 million victims were Jewish). Since Duterte's inauguration last year, some 7,000 people have been killed. His ironfisted strategy alarms governments, human-rights organizations and faith-based groups while winning high approval ratings at home.

For the past half-century, depictions of the Black Panther Party in mainstream media have largely glossed over their ideas or their community activism. “They’ve been reduced to leather peacoats and shotguns,” Shaka King, the director of the new Black Panther-focused film Judas and the Black Messiah says. They’ve been called terrorists, fringe separatists, “wild beasts” and “the civil rights movement’s evil twin.” While the words of other Civil Rights activists like Martin Luther King, Jr.

There’s an easy way to figure out which military service has the toughest basic training — all you have to do is count how many recruits break their legs. Using that standard, there’s no competition: the U.S. Marine Corps crushes its recruits’ lower-leg bones far more often than the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard or Navy. The data are contained in a new military report that traces stress fractures from 2004 to 2010 for both recruits and troops already in the force.

After studying poetry at the Iowa Writers’ Workshop in the mid-1970s, Sandra Cisneros moved back home to Chicago and taught former dropouts at the Latino Youth High School. All of these influences—the city, the students, the poetic approach to language—are palpable in The House on Mango Street, the series of semi-autobiographical vignettes that coalesced to form the Mexican American author’s first novel. A modern classic that has survived several misguided banning campaigns to become a staple of English syllabi, The House on Mango Street filters the life of a working-class Latinx neighborhood through the perspective of 12-year-old Esperanza Cordero, a bright girl who’s quickly absorbing tough lessons about racism, inequality and growing up female.

When Annlyse Retiveau leaned in to sniff my armpits, I held my own breath as she inhaled. I’ve spent a vast majority of my life using products to avoid this precise critique—another human intentionally evaluating my armpit aroma.

There’s nothing unconscious about Retiveau’s sniffing.

A few days ago, I received an email from a man I’ll call Mark (that’s not his real name) who follows me on social media. Mark’s message to me went like this: “The girl I love tells me all the time that I’m immature and need to grow up. How can I make myself more mature?” Upon reading this message initially, I chuckled. Something about the idea of just making yourself more mature sounded silly to me.

I first heard about FX’s “Archer” in the ready room of VAQ-135, a navy squadron who were serving an interminable deployment aboard an aircraft carrier somewhere near Midway Island. (This sounds very much like a humblebrag that Sterling Archer would obnoxiously drop into conversation). It was 2010, and the pilots had lost whatever idealism they’d once had during an endless deployment that had them flying 12-hour missions from the Persian Gulf to Afghanistan.

Jair Bolsonaro’s re-emergence in Florida is a bizarre spectacle, even for a state with a long history of providing haven to eccentric characters.

( WHEN STEVE ROSS, NEAR death with cancer, checked into a Los Angeles hospital in late 1992, he registered as George Bailey, the self-sacrificing common-man hero of Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life. No doubt that was how the man who masterminded the merger of Time Inc. (which owns TIME) and Warner Communications wished to be perceived. But the Steve Ross who emerges in Master of the Game (Simon & Schuster; 395 pages; $25), New Yorker staff writer Connie Bruck’s intelligent and fascinating biography, is composed equally of George Bailey, Don Corleone, Felix Krull and Oskar Schindler — Steven Spielberg has said Ross was a model for the portrayal of Schindler in Schindler’s List.

August 2, 2016 11:39 AM EDT Women who suffer from painful menstrual cramps sympathize with the debilitating discomfort that arrives monthly like clockwork. Motrin, Midol and Advil can take a back seat, however, because there’s apparently a new remedy for cramps: Cannabis tampons. The company Foria, makers of marijuana-infused personal lubricant, created “relief suppositories” made out of cannabis. According to Foria’s site, these suppositories “maximize the muscle relaxing and pain relieving properties of cannabis without inducing a psychotropic ‘high.

Tobias Everke / Pepsico Yet another military scandal erupted earlier this month when Foodbeast blogger Charisma Madarang questioned the military service of Cap’n Crunch. While the cereal icon (né Horatio Magellan Crunch) has captained the S.S. Guppy since 1963, Madarang uncovered a disparity between the number of bars on Crunch’s sleeve (three, which denotes the rank of commander) and the four bars featured on a Naval captain’s uniform. The U.S. Navy is now investigating the service record of Cap’n Crunch.

Adeniyi made this known on Tuesday in Abuja during a combined news conference by the heads of security agencies and Service Chiefs, convened by the Chief of Defence Staff, Gen.

In the Book of Proverbs, there’s a hymn that speaks of a woman of valor—Eshet Chayil in Hebrew—one who is strong and righteous and who also provides a safe home where Jewish values and traditions may thrive. As U.S. special envoy, Ambassador Deborah Lipstadt exemplifies this image, tirelessly working to protect Jewish communities, and to build a world where all are safe and protected. A distinguished scholar, Deborah has courageously taken on antisemitism on campus, in the courts, and in the halls of power.

Historical Context The collapse and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire was a long and bitter affair, comprising revolutions, a disastrous world war and infighting. Mehmed VI became the sultan just prior to the end of World War I and while the Ottomans were in the middle of exterminating the Armenian population. He would not last long. Months after his reign was proclaimed, Allied forces occupied Constantinople at the end of the war, and this awoke a Turkish national uprising led by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

March 16, 2014 2:39 PM EDT Honda is recalling almost 900,000 vehicles to replace a fuel-related part that could increase fire risk, the carmaker said Sunday. The recall will include 886,815 Honda Odyssey minivans in the United States, from the 2005-2010 models years. Honda said in a statement that it plans to replace the fuel strainer free of charge. The vehicles’ fuel strainers may be in danger of deteriorating prematurely with exposure to high temperatures and acidic chemicals, Honda said, resulting in cracks in the material.

Each day, hundreds of millions of people document and share their experiences on social media, from packed parties to the most intimate family moments. Social platforms let us stay in touch with friends and forge new relationships like never before, but those increases in communication and social connection may come at a cost. In a new paper published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, researchers showed that those who documented and shared their experiences on social media formed less precise memories of those events.

However, as the world slowly emerged from the grip of the pandemic, people began to take an interest in other online activities. With this shift of interest, creators who have carved a niche in this category faced a new challenge of maintaining relevance and capturing their online audience’s attention with their dance content. One of those who succeeded and remained relevant is Tiwa Pever Anpee, or, as she’s known on Instagram, Lovie or ItsTiwa.

Last month, while giving a diversity-focused book talk at a Fortune 500 company’s headquarters in Washington, DC, we received a question that was all too familiar to us. We had reached the Q&A section of the talk when an employee named Marissa, who identified herself as the chair of the company’s diversity committee, stood and said: “All of these diversity-related recruitment and collaboration suggestions sound great, and we are committed to integrating them into our practices.

But that's not where her talent ends. Parton may also have some serious culinary skills. A variety of cooking blogs like Chin Deep and bFeedme have shared what's reportedly Dolly Parton's recipe for a five-layer dinner casserole. We might not know for sure if Parton's ever made this dish, but following Chin Deep's version of the recipe, I tried making the dish myself to find out if the queen of country may also be the queen of cooking.

After the harsh morning sunlight, the research center was dark and cool inside. There, in front of a large monitor, an engineer clicked on a slide to begin the day’s presentation for his visitor: “Towards carbon emissions net zero,” it read. This was not, as the slide suggested, an environmental organization or a climate conference. TIME had been allowed inside the normally secretive R&D hub of Saudi Aramco, a fossil-fuel behemoth that dwarfs giants like ExxonMobil and Chevron.

Delicate microsurgery may prevent strokes With advancing age, as the arteries leading to the brain become more and more clogged by fatty deposits, the chances grow that a clot may form in one of the narrowed passages, cutting off the flow of blood to a region of the brain. The result may be a stroke, which could lead to loss of memory or speech, paralysis, and even death. For this type of patient, few treatments are available, though doctors sometimes prescribe anticoagulants to lessen the chance of clotting.

At least one woman was killed and seven people were injured Sunday when a masked gunman opened fire outside a Tennessee church, according to the Metro Nashville Police Department. Police said the 25-year-old suspect, identified as Emanuel Kidega Samson, opened fire outside of Burnette Chapel Church of Christ as people were leaving the church following Sunday morning services. As of Sunday afternoon, the suspect was in custody after he reportedly shot himself — his injuries are not life-threatening and will be charged with one count of murder, police said.

Food and beverage giant Nestlé adds sugar and honey to its infant milk and cereal products in developing countries but not in European markets, according to a new report published Wednesday.

“Go as a River,” the emotional and epic debut novel from author Shelley Read, has landed with content producers Fifth Season and Mazur Kaplan for a film adaptation. Fifth Season, formerly known as Endeavor Content, will produce the project alongside Paula Mazur and Mitchell Kaplan. Released in 2023, the book became an instant national bestseller and topped the Sunday Times list in the United Kingdom. Compared to American sagas like “The Four Winds” and “Where the Crawdads Sing,” the backdrop for Read’s work is the wild beauty of mid-century Colorado.

They were the same sort of Sunday spectators who used to fill the bleachers when Ebbets Field was still a ballpark and the Dodgers were still in Brooklyn. Shirt-sleeved rooters packed the grandstand at $1 a head. Some stripped to undershirts in the 80-degree heat; some parked their cars at the far side of the broad, green playing field, unfolded beach chairs and guzzled beer from jugs. The maroon-jerseyed home team drew loud cheers when it scored, derisive jeers when it flubbed.

In the movies, every crazy old fart needs a cool old car. Jack Nicholson drove a spiffy yellow 1970 Dodge Challenger two-door in The Bucket List. In Gran Torino, the cranky pensioner played by Clint Eastwood not only owned a 1972 GT Sport, he also used to build cars like that at the Ford plant. But maybe Bill Murray beats both of these stars. In St. Vincent he tools around lower Brooklyn in a wood-paneled ’83 Chrysler LeBaron convertible that is almost as dilapidated as he is.

There’s a kind of background noise. A nasty little music orchestrated by Putinist propaganda and its band of useful idiots. It’s the idea, broadly, that Ukraine at war and martyred is also one of Europe’s most incorrigibly antisemitic countries. So, once and for all: What’s the story with Ukraine and anti-Semitism? The truth is, of course, that Ukraine in the ’30s and ’40s of the 20th century was a bloodland for Jews.

This story was produced in partnership with the Pulitzer Center. Raised in northern Iraq’s small Yezidi religious minority, S. was 9 years old when the so-called Islamic State killed his father and brother, kidnapped him and turned him into a child soldier. He witnessed unspeakable violence, saw friends tortured and was beaten by the “teachers” who indoctrinated him into the group’s severe version of Islam. Three years later, when his mother ransomed him back from ISIS for $10,000, he was returned against his will to a family he barely remembered.

Does 1995 feel like just yesterday or a lifetime ago? No matter how you feel about it, these events are about to hit their 20th anniversaries: The World Trade Organization was formed (Jan. 1): After much wrangling between Bob Dole and Bill Clinton (then Republican Senate leader and President, respectively), the U.S. agreed to sign the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade treaty. The WTO was created by GATT to monitor international trade decisions — and in 1995 it replaced the treaty as a regulator of trade.

Logo purses, brand names, flashy cars, and even flashier rings have typically signified status among the wealthy .

Across Iowa’s corn country, huge machines with anteater snouts gulp the ears off 8-ft.-high cornstalks, an instant later spit golden kernels into self-contained bins.

“There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature,” Antonio Gaudi used to say. “Therefore, buildings must have no straight lines or sharp corners.” In the application of his precept, Catalan Architect Gaudi built some of the most fantastic structures in the world. The walls of a Gaudi designed apartment house rise like eroded cliffs; his roofs are undulating, and wrought-iron leaves bristle from his eaves and sills. Gaudi’s largest and most fantastic work is Barcelona’s awesome stone, iron and cement Church of the Holy Family.

Plenty of lovely music -- ineffably sweet and sad and evocative of a lost era -- runs through "Band in Berlin," an unlikely new entry on Broadway that mixes the pleasures of a novel cabaret act with the drearier stuff of a high-school history lecture, replete with slightly cheesy visual aids. Despite the handsome harmonizing by five supremely talented vocalists, "Band in Berlin" is not really a musical. Unfortunately, it's not really a play either, and the show is probably not distinguished enough as a unique theatrical experience to endear itself for long to demanding Broadway audiences.

Profession: Children's Writer Biography: Enid Blyton is one of the world's best-selling authors and published over 600 tittles during her lifetime.

Blyton's books presented an idealized view of childhood, usually set in the English countryside with a moral undertone and a quick free-flowing narrative.

Known for his novella that inspired the Academy Award-winning film Arrival, Ted Chiang is among those writers who masterfully confront the anxieties of modern life through tales of technology and science, inspiring us to reconsider reality. In his latest collection, nine stories of refined, accessible prose prove both poignant and disturbing as Chiang reaches into subject matter like artificial intelligence and time travel. The longest story in Exhalation, “The Lifecycle of Software Objects,” best exemplifies Chiang’s sneakily unnerving ability to foreshadow dark futures, as his characters care for digital pets who become uncomfortably life-like.

TIME December 11, 1964 12:00 AM GMT-5 Under one name or another, Greek rightists and leftists have long fought each other. But in 1942 two mutually suspicious Greek guerrilla detachments—one made up of E.D.E.S. nationalists and the other of E.L.A.S. Communists—joined forces long enough to give protective cover to a British demolition team that blew up a railway bridge at Gorgopotamos, 130 miles from Athens, thus halting supplies intended for transshipment to Rommel’s Afrika Korps in Libya.

According to a study from waterFilterGuru.com, reusable water bottles have an average of 20.8 million colony-forming units (CFUs) of bacteria, which is 40,000 times more than the microbes on a toilet seat. Bacteria live on almost every surface, and they can be found on water bottles. Water bottles must be cleaned and sanitized regularly to prevent the formation of bacteria and mould. Regular usage without proper cleaning can encourage the growth of germs that become lodged in the bottle.
