Sex Education, the hit British teen dramedy, returned to Netflix on Thursday with its fourth and final season, bringing the students of Moordale Secondary School to a whole new place, literally. In Season 3, Moordale was sold to developers, and a new school—along with its sustainable, artsy, free-form aesthetic—has now entered the picture: Cavendish College. Cavendish seems to have it all: there’s an indoor slide; daily meditation, silent discos, sound baths, and yoga for mental health; and each student gets a tablet, tote bag, and reusable water bottle.

Being an important event in the calendar of Igbo people all over the world, the festival usually begins with a ceremonial roasting of whole yams by the king or titled elders of the community.

Tennessee which sit low in the water and burn after the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on Dec., 7 1941. The “infamy” of December 7, 1941, is deeper than most Americans have ever imagined. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was almost certainly the result of a Soviet plot—“Operation Snow”—carried out by Harry Dexter White, a figure of enormous influence in the Roosevelt administration and a known Soviet spy.

Although the Vatican is not a country but a city-state—and at 108.7 acres, a tiny one—it has its uses in international diplomacy. For rising young careerists, assignment to the Holy See* is a welcome opportunity to develop the graces that they will carry to larger posts. For senior men, it is often a final and extraordinary experience before their retirement from public life. All 65 countries represented at the Vatican today—among them the Moslem United Arab Republic and Communist Cuba—find the papal corridors not only a valuable listening station but a strategic position to catch the ear of the leader of 614 million Roman Catholics.

It’s not surprising that Frieda Hughes, 53, is given to dramatic gestures. Being born the daughter of poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes is to be thrust into that role.

Doug Plummer / Getty Images The Bible is not a diet book. Study it as closely as you want, and you’ll never find anything remotely approaching “10 Tips to Drop 10 Pounds.” And yet that same Bible has helped 15,000 members of Rick Warren’s Saddleback megachurch drop a collective 260,000 lbs.

Actually, it wasn’t going to be the first time I heard a thing like that; I’ve heard variants of such warning uttered on different platforms. Here is a question for folks who fault wearing of trousers by women: Since when did wearing of trousers by women become unbiblical? WHAT AND WHAT’S NOT DOCTRINE?

He also played an influential role in developing the Nicene Creed, the Christian statement of belief, in 325, and also ordered construction of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher on the supposed site of Jesus' tomb in Jerusalem, now the holiest site in Christianity.

EVERY MAN A MURDERER by Heimito von Doderer. 373 pages. Knopf. $5.95. A novel by Vienna’s Heimito von Doderer is rather like an Eames chair draped with an antimacassar.

The “Fast and Furious” franchise might not be ending as quickly as fans previously thought. The upcoming “Fast X” is being billed by Universal Pictures as the beginning of the end of the saga, which kicked off in 2001. The plan has long been to split the finale into two films, “Fast X” and the upcoming 11th installment, but franchise mastermind Vin Diesel let it slip at the “Fast X” world premiere in Rome that the finale might actually be spread across three films instead, which means a surprise 12th “Fast and Furious” movie might be on the way.

Well, this was one way to keep Harry Potter fans interested as they grew up. Modeled after Harry's first broom, Mattel's now discontinued battery-operated Nimbus 2000 featured a grooved stick and handle for kids who wanted to ride it around the house.

Tom Wolfe’s A Man in Full is a massive book, in more ways than one. A 742-page social novel with an iconoclastic Atlanta real estate mogul at its center, it took Wolfe over a decade to research and write.

Walking just 4,000 steps per day—less than half of the 10,000 steps often recommended for maintaining an active lifestyle—may be enough to help extend your life, according to a new research review published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.

Comedians mock our cultural and political institutions on TV all the time. But it’s not every day that a comic’s jokes crash a government website or directly inspire legislators to push for new laws. John Oliver, host of HBO comedy news program Last Week Tonight, is quickly building up that level of cultural cachet.

Sudden death is always shocking, and even more so when those who die are heroes who defied danger in the past. But on Jan. 27, 1967, when the U.S. lost its first three astronauts killed in the line of duty — Lieut. Colonel Virgil “Gus” Grissom, 40; Lieut. Colonel Edward White, 36; and Lieut. Commander Roger Chaffee, 31 — the world’s reaction contained an extra level of shock. The reason why is suggested by the fact that, though the mission on which they were killed is now known as Apollo 1, that phrase never appears in TIME’s original 1967 cover story about the event.

So, I thought. Maybe it was because I have been celibate for six months and probably needed to stir up the sexual steam burning inside of me. However, I approached things with him subtly. Thereafter, we started engaging in occasional chatting on different social media platforms, and I hoped eagerly for the desires to keep burning.

Unmesh Kher April 26, 2004 12:00 AM EDT Heading a multinational drug firm is a high-wire act.

C Brandon / Redferns / Getty Images Erasure is best known for making irresistible dance music. The ’80s-era synth-pop duo of Andy Bell and Vince Clarke have been filling dance floor with their upbeat synth-driven songs for more than thirty years, but when it came to making a Christmas album, the pair took a “humbug” stance. Their new album, the decidedly holiday-themed Snow Globe (Mute), does away with the ghosts of Christmas albums past, swapping stripped-down synths for silver bells and pairing obligatory “Silent Night” covers with “Gaudete,” a new take on a 16th-century Christmas carol and original tracks like “Blood on the Snow.

IT TOOK HALF A DECADE and some very lean seasons for most designers to figure out what women were looking for in the ’90s. But one, Miuccia Prada, knew the answer all along: wearable clothes with a touch of class. Prada is a cult that is about to become a movement.

December 15, 2015 4:52 AM EST A campaign by the Hong Kong government to promote love of nature among children of kindergarten age has run into criticism, after it emerged that the youngsters were being asked to raise a pretty but toxic plant.

The NBA superstar hasn’t been shy about wading in political waters.

Normally, the best way to turn off a PlayStation 4 is via its controller. However, if your controller dies while the console is on, you're not out of luck.

You have two options: put it in a low-power "rest" mode, or you can shut the console down completely.

They clutch hefty porcelain plates in quivering white-gloved hands, praying the metal warming covers don’t betray a percussion rumble that will incur the instructor’s wrath. Upon the order to advance, the eight aspiring butlers glide around a long dining table, positioning each plate between the polished silver cutlery.

It lasted roughly one thousand years (give or take a few centuries). It generated mind-boggling advances in science, technology and medicine. It saw magnificent cathedrals rise at Chartres, Salisbury, Florence and scores of other cities and towns. It witnessed the first rumblings of a kind of proto-democracy in England and elsewhere. It wholly transformed the political and economic underpinnings of an entire continent. In light of all that, it’s odd that the long, long period of European history commonly known as the Middle Ages should be associated in so many people’s minds with one rather simple phenomenon.

Until recent times, the treatment of madness was a kind of desperate punishment. In medieval madhouses patients were sometimes bound in whirling chairs and spun till blood ran out of their ears. Others were plunged down steep chimneys onto a pile of writhing snakes. Today psychiatrists again apply with scientific refinements something very like medieval shock treatment to victims of schizophrenia (dementia praecox). Most common form of insanity, schizophrenia packs 200,000 patients in U.

When young (34) Edward W. Carter went to work for Los Angeles’ Broadway Department Store, Inc. two years ago, he intended to move cautiously; a $50,000-a-year (plus bonus) executive, he thought, ought not to seem impulsive. On his second day, he started on a leisurely tour of the company’s Pasadena branch and what he saw made him jump. The floors were laid out poorly, the sales fixtures outmoded. “My God,” groaned Ed Carter, “the fellows who laid out the Pasadena store are laying out the new Broadway-Crenshaw.

The scene was Allied press headquarters in Paris on a rainy summer day. Facing the half-dozing correspondents, Lieut. Colonel John A. Keck, onetime Pittsburgh engineer and now chief of Allied technical intelligence on German weapons, began quietly: “This will make Buck Rogers seem as if he lived in the Gay ’90s.” He proceeded to unfold the improbable story of what German scientists were up to when V-E day interrupted them. At a research center in Hillersleben a group of them were solemnly laying plans for a “space station” 5,100 miles up, from which a “sun gun” would have the whole earth at its mercy.

TIME February 3, 1958 12:00 AM GMT-5 Four-year-old Playboy magazine, which has built 788,350 circulation on the proposition that, next to themselves, boys like girls best, discovered last week that even this sturdy philosophy can lead to trouble. After running a color photo of a nude teenager, Playboy Publisher Hugh Hefner was hustled into Chicago’s domestic relations court on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Said police: brunette Elizabeth Ann Roberts, Hefner’s pert Miss Playmate for January, was not a fetching college freshman of 18, as reported in Playboy, but a fetching high-school senior of 16, and thus, in the eyes of Illinois law, too young to appear unclothed in the public prints.

It’s no secret that professional sport is a commercial enterprise. Sure, there’s the love of the game, but no one would ever get to see that love in action without TV commercials and endorsements and sponsorships. In some cases, of course — the World Series, say, or the Olympics — one could argue that television networks and corporate sponsors are merely covering, inflating and capitalizing on an event that was going on regardless.

Three years ago, Afghan women lost most of their civil rights overnight, when the Taliban marched into Kabul and quickly seized the country against little resistance. As Vice President Kamala Harris accepts the presidential nomination this week at the Democratic National Convention, the Taliban’s wholesale disregard for women’s rights is a stark contrast to the possibility of the first woman President in American history. But Harris, who has taken a strong stance on women’s rights, could break with previous U.

Over the past five years, albums have become less important in Nigerian music. People now have a choice of whether to release or not to release music. Davido is one of Nigeria’s biggest stars. As a 10-year veteran, he only released his sophomore album in his tenth year of excellence. The reason is simple; albums have become less-integral to success. Some who still understand the sanctity and the place of albums in posterity drop them, but most people couldn’t care if care became their best food.

You can't imagine that David has whom I accommodated when she was transferred to Lagos and there was nowhere for her to stay and I was kind enough to allow her into my home pending when she could her own place.

Not every home has bright floor to ceiling windows, so a low-light plant can be an ideal solution for a not-so-sunny problem. All plants need some light to live, but low-light plants can even use artificial light to survive—and some plants, like ferns and vines, can survive in the dimmest part of homes. This means you can easily brighten up a dingy bathroom, add a floral pop to a windowless kitchen, or spruce up your workspace with a small plant even if your desk is in a dark corner.

Schultz knew it. but D-day’s luckiest augury was a pair of women’s grey suede shoes, size 5½. They nestled in the command car of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel as he sped away from his Normandy headquarters on the morning of June 4, 1944, D-minus-two.

Some athletes need larger leg muscles to propel themselves across a field, a court or ice.

Store-bought ground beef often contains a variety of bacteria that can make humans sick and is resistant to the drugs used to treat it, according to new data from Consumer Reports.

When we reach the dirt road leading to Drax Hall plantation, Esther Phillips suggests we stop the car. Phillips, 73, gets out and draws in a deep breath.

But none of these past emigration campaigns has been as significant, or as documented as what is ongoing right now. It’s 2023 and Nigerians are getting out in droves.

The implication is that these days, everyone knows about it, everyone follows it and everyone seems to have an idea of how Nigeria's epic relocation wave is shaping up.

As a result, unions have questioned the enforceability of NLRB orders to that effect, and many locals have continued to discriminate against their members on the basis of race or other arbitrary reasons.

Mbaka also advised the government to not treat the minimum wage issue with kid gloves to avert a potential crisis. His remarks come after the standoff between Organised Labour on the one hand, and the federal, state, and local governments as well as the organised private sector on the other hand, over a new minimum wage. The labour unions embarked on an industrial action last Monday after rejecting the ₦60,000 proposed by the government.

And if you don’t choose to live that way, you’re not going to last in this generation because we are overtaking you.

The meaning of the title of the iconic Beach Boys album Pet Sounds has been up for debate ever since it was released 50 years ago, on May 16, 1966. Was it a reference to “pet,” meaning “favorite,” musical sounds? Was it a tribute to the PS in Phil Spector? Was it a dig at the idea that only a dog would hear the pitches the band played? Regardless, the album’s famous cover art takes the title completely literally, bringing Beach Boys Carl Wilson, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson, Mike Love and Al Jardine to the petting pen at the San Diego Zoo on Feb.

The chestnutty theme of the teenage baby-sitter who receives a phone call from a heavy breather threatening to kill her, only to learn he’s right inside the house, has stuck around for a reason. Sometimes you don’t know when danger is beyond just one closed door—or lying in bed beside you. Writer-director Chloe Domont’s skillfully constructed debut feature Fair Play is neither a horror movie nor a corporate thriller, though it bears earmarks of both, with some dashes of erotic-thriller intrigue tossed in.

A surge in AI-generated spam pitches has forced a prestigious publisher of science fiction short stories to close its submissions, with some joking about the inherent irony given the genre has long covered the perils of machine learning. Neil Clarke, the editor-in-chief of Clarkesworld—an American online Sci-Fi magazine that usually welcomes stories from new writers—shared a blog post addressing an increase in “spammy submissions.” While the pitches are genuine, Clarke said the work is not authentic; they are coming from people looking to cash an easy paycheck.

SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains spoilers for “One Last Time,” the series finale of ABC’s“Station 19,” now streaming on Hulu. For a show that spent most of its time putting its characters in mortal danger, it’s remarkable that “Station 19” completed its series finale with nearly everyone alive and well — except, of course, for Kate (Kiele Sanchez), the newest addition to 19 who never did quite manage to become a part of the family.

One month before I got pregnant with my son, I was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. My husband and I had been trying to conceive since our miscarriage the year prior. But we were supposed to have paused the baby-making to focus on finding a fix for my brain. When I told my therapist and my psychiatrist that I was pregnant, their faces fell. I would have to stop trying out medications and hope that the lowest possible dose of the safest possible antipsychotic would be enough to sustain my mental health through my pregnancy.

The era of the “soft girl” is well underway. With 3 billion views on TikTok, the movement caters predominantly to women, specifically Gen-Z women, and the desire to achieve a delicate, care-free, ultra-feminine aesthetic. The lifestyle—while carefully crafted—sells the allure of a life defined by one thing: leisure. For many, the appeal is in admiring the beautiful aesthetics, like glitter and pastel accessories, and make-up tips to get the perfectly blushed “coquette” look.

Movie stars are supposedly nothing like you and me. They're svelte, glamorous, self-­possessed. They wear dresses we can't afford and live in houses we can only dream of. Yet it turns out that—in the most painful and personal ways—movie stars are more like you and me than we ever knew. In 1997, just before Ashley Judd's career took off, she was invited to a meeting with Harvey Weinstein, head of the starmaking studio Miramax, at a Beverly Hills hotel.

June 24, 2015 4:20 PM EDT Go Set a Watchman, Harper Lee’s highly anticipated follow-up to 1960’s To Kill a Mockingbird, has stirred debate over whether the 89-year-old Lee, who suffered a stroke in 2007, was mentally competent enough to agree to the book’s release; the state of Alabama confirmed that she was. The book is set about 20 years after To Kill a Mockingbird (which took place in the 1930s), and features many of the same characters, including, of course, Scout Finch and her father Atticus.

Unlike the Paleo diet, which encourages you to eat like a cave man, the so-called Werewolf Diet doesn’t actually involve having the bloodlust of werewolves. But it is based on the cycles of the moon, and it’s the latest eating craze among some celebrities. The idea is that the moon influences the water in our bodies in the same way that it impacts the tides of the ocean. According to the website Moon Connection, humans are made up of a lot of water (which is true), and when the moon is full or at a new phase, there’s a gravitational pull that can last for 24 hours and affect how much water weight you can gain or lose (questionable).

A father from Quebec, Canada has filed a class-action lawsuit against McDonald's for illegally advertising to children — and a judge has allowed it to go ahead. Antonio Bramante claims that he visits a McDonald's restaurant at once every two weeks with at least one of his three children, and has spent hundreds of dollars on Happy Meals under pressure from them, according to court documents. Bramante complains that the toys that accompany Happy Meals are often linked with the launch of popular films and come as part of a series, which prompts children to ask for more Happy Meals in order to complete their set.

A few miles north of the equator, not far from where the Nile rises, the Mountains of the Moon face east towards a mighty lake that could drown the state of West Virginia. On the northern shore of Lake Victoria sits Kampala (pop. 22,000), the chief city of the British protectorate of Uganda and the ancient tribal capital of 1,300,000 Baganda tribesmen. Kampala, like Rome, is built on seven hills. There are Anglican and Roman Catholic cathedrals, a glittering white mosque and a Hindu temple, each on its separate hilltop.

“He grabs a church and paints with the church,” wrote a poet of the cubist era, Blaise Cendrars. “He grabs a cow and paints with the cow . . . He paints with an oxtail/ With all the dirty passion of a little Jewish town/ With all the exacerbated sexuality of provincial Russia.” Soutine? Strangely enough, no: Marc Chagall. Cendrars’ rhapsody reminds one how different the late decades of that hugely productive painter were from his early ones.

THE OCTOBER COUNTRY (306 pp.)—Ray Bradbury—Ballantine Books ($3.50; paperback, $.35). Among readers who fancy vampires, succubi, werewolves and other monsters, a young (35) Californian named Ray Bradbury is regarded as the arrived monster-monger, fit replacement for August Derleth, eldritch statesman of the well-informed witchlover. Author Bradbury may owe even more to John Collier, another veteran djinn-and-bitters addict. Like Mary Wollstonecraft (Frankenstein) Shelley and Bram (Dracula) Stoker, these writers appeal to the middle or relatively uncorrugated brow, rather than the highbrow, who finds more than enough to bite his nails over in the Age of Anxiety without faking up a little more.

Campbell’s Soup has released a heartwarming ad to promote its special-edition Star Wars cans that celebrate all kinds of families. In the viral spot, two dads take turns doing their best impressions of Darth Vader, recounting his famous line, “Luke, I am your father” — heavy breathing and all — as they spoon-feed their toddler son.

From the hoarse throats of 250,000 Cubans jammed before the presidential palace in Havana rose the chilling cry: “Pa-re-don! To the wall! To the firing squad!” By whipping up a frenzy of hatred, Fidel Castro last week got mob approval for a resumption of the drumhead justice that earlier put to death 551 Cubans accused as supporters of ex-Dictator Fulgencio Batista. Now the blood purge would be aimed at defectors in the band of barbudos (bearded ones) who lifted him to power, of whom hundreds are now in prison.

Historical Context A few months after the Thirteen Colonies had broken out in rebellion against their British colonial overseers, the Continental Congress drafted a resolution entitled the Declaration of the Causes and Necessity of Taking Up Arms.

Jon Stewart didn’t create The Daily Show, but he did make it a cultural phenomenon. Before he took the helm, in 1999, Comedy Central’s foray into late night was a straightforward parody of network news that cast Craig Kilborn as the unctuous anchor. Stewart took a drier, rawer, and more politicized (also: angrier) approach, skewering hypocritical politicians and fulminating against the inanity of cable news. Now, following a seven-year run by Trevor Noah and 2023’s revolving door of guest hosts, he’s returning to the show that made him a household name.

Joe Rosenthal’s photograph, shot on Feb. 23, 1945, has become a symbol: As U.S. Marines of the 28th Regiment, 5th Division, raised the American flag atop Mount Suribachi at Iwo Jima, the Associated Press photographer was at the ready, capturing the moment that would come to define America’s victorious stand in World War II. The image has since entered the subconscious of millions of Americans — as TIME reported in 1945, it was already “easily the most widely printed photograph of World War II,” — and its iconic status has spawned countless homages, most famously at Ground Zero in the hours following the 9/11 attacks.

In the rugged, remote northwest corner of Montana, the Yaak River Valley is a picture postcard of some yesteryear. Moose muse among the willows. Elk graze on the slopes. White-tailed deer browse in the bottom land. Deep among the whispering pine and the hemlock, among the silver aspen and birch, the bears dig into windfalls for grubs. Rainbow trout, cutthroat and whitefish tumble in Beetle and Winkum Creeks. In that bucolic 45-mile-long valley, 83 families live peacefully in humble cabins and fine log homes.

In May, Tomorrowland director Brad Bird let slip that The Iron Giant, his 1999 box-office dud turned beloved animated classic, might find its way back into theaters for a special re-release. “I think something will happen fairly soon,” Bird told Collider. “They know that people have a fondness for it. … I would love to see Iron Giant get back into theaters even if only for a week.” It won’t be a week’s run, but pencil Sept.

The history of popular music is a pendulum constantly swinging from authenticity to artifice and back. This dialectic shapes and is in turn shaped by youth culture; baby boomers mirrored the bouncy, smiley, clean-cut early Beatles’ rapid transformation into the psychedelic, spiritual, hairy late Beatles. A generation later, the hair metal and synthpop of the ’80s gave way to the grunge and gangsta rap of the ’90s. And recently, as a long era of perfectionist pop wanes, an apocalyptic Gen Z take on authenticity has emerged.

President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter this week to express his support for L.L.Bean, the clothing outfitter facing boycott threats over a Bean family member’s donations in support of Trump’s campaign.

The face had a cartoon-like directness: big mustache, Magic Marker eyebrows, oversize cigar. Yet few TV entertainers were a more intriguing set of contradictions than Ernie Kovacs. A boisterous cutup who relished tacky props and low-down slapstick, yet a closet highbrow who orchestrated comedy to Bartok and Beethoven. A talk-show pioneer, yet the creator of a classic half an hour that included not a single line of dialogue. A TV “star” who never had a network series that lasted more than two seasons, yet who influenced video comedy for the next two decades, from Laugh-In to David Letterman.

The owners and some former and present executives of OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma were sued on June 12 by Massachusetts’ attorney general, who alleges the company knowingly misled doctors and consumers about the dangers of its product — something Purdue denied in a statement. This brings to mind an earlier, separate — and revealing — case against the company from more than a decade ago. At a congressional hearing in 2007, a United States attorney was grilled about the Justice Department’s settlement earlier that year with the company over its prescription painkiller, which had become the gateway drug to America’s opioid epidemic.

Coco Loko, a new product containing chocolate and energy-drink ingredients all ground into a powder, was made to be snorted. According to the website, doing so gives the user a “steady rush of euphoric energy and motivation that is great for party goers to dance the night away without a crash.” Not surprisingly, doctors are warning against using the product—which is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because it is marketed as a supplement, not as a food or drug—because they don’t know how the human body will respond to snorting the ingredients in the powder.

Ask 10 people how they cure a hangover, and you’ll likely get 10 different answers. Some go for greasy food and hair of the dog; others swig Pedialyte or Gatorade; and a motivated few hit the gym to sweat it out. But do any of these hangover remedies actually work? Probably not, says Dr. Ed Boyer, a medical toxicologist at Boston’s Brigham and Women’s Hospital. “I don’t think anybody can really tell you with a great degree of honesty what causes a hangover,” he says, adding that theories run the gamut from dehydration to electrolyte imbalance to a buildup of alcohol byproducts.

When it comes to what listeners want from Asake, identity isn’t enough. They demand excitement. The type that soundtracked his unprecedented rise and which has sustained his momentum to release his 3rd project in 18 months. And while 'Work Of Art' is every bit the explosive, chest-thumping, genre-blending Asake that listeners have come to adore, it lacks the excitement his debut album packed, and understandably so. ADVERTISEMENT Asake’s reluctance to switch up his style created a rather monotonous album that appears to be a creative readjustment of his debut project even down to the production.

In 1968, University of California Berkeley graduate students Emma Gee and Yuji Ichioka needed a name for their student organization, which was aimed at increasing the visibility of activists of Asian descent.

They wanted to come up with a term that would bring together all the different groups of people of Asian descent under one, larger umbrella.

A 2009 episode of the award-winning TV drama Breaking Bad depicts a scene in Mexico’s bullet-ridden border town of Ciudad Juárez: police are lured to a location to find an informant’s severed head stuck on a turtle, which itself turns out to be a booby trap that explodes, killing and maiming the law enforcers after they approach it. Seasoned correspondents of the real drug war in Mexico thought the sequence was an over-the-top depiction of gang tactics — until last week.

Val Castronovo, Matthew Cooper, Lina Lofaro, Desa Philadelphia, Alain L. Sanders, Flora Tartakovsky and Josh Tyrangiel April 24, 2000 12:00 AM EDT Although the story of an international custody battle is the stuff of epic poetry, the situation of Elian Gonzalez has been covered so minutely that it lends itself to a more intimate genre.

The cold war was near absolute zero, the Korean War was raging, and the West could almost hear the Soviet tanks gunning their engines on the other side of the Iron Curtain. The U.S. and its European allies were determined not to be caught as unprepared as they had been when the Nazis invaded. So in the early 1950s they began training “stay behind” networks of volunteers. If the Soviet army rolled west, the groups were to gather intelligence, open escape routes and form resistance movements.

If you’ve logged onto Twitter or swiped through your Instagram at any point this summer, you’ve definitely seen a post declaring it’s a hot girl summer. The now-ubiquitous phrase, a call to live your most confident and unapologetic life, was coined in the early months of the season by Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion, whose colorful monikers for herself also include “the H-Town Hottie” and “Hot Girl Meg.” “Hot girl summer,” a seasonal riff on Megan’s trademark boast of doing “real hot girl sh-t” year-round, acts as both a motto and a missive to her loyal fanbase (nearly 4 million across Instagram and Twitter), affectionately referred to as the “hotties.

How does a McDonald’s manager with three young children end up becoming a cult leader who believes she has birthed the entire human race, been reincarnated as Jesus, Joan of Arc, and Marilyn Monroe and is spiritually connected to late actor Robin Williams? Hannah Olson’s three-part HBO docuseries “Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God” attempts to answer that question.

For decades, Nancy Reagan, who died Sunday at 94, was the woman feminists most loved to hate. She was too wifely, too fashion conscious, too conservative, too much a 1950s’ traditionalist in the edgier, post-sixties, 1980s. Critics delighted in the mini-scandals surrounding her expensive White House china, her borrowed designer gowns and her family spats. But Nancy Reagan’s eight years as First Lady from 1981 to 1989 ended with a surprising turnaround.

The Greater Newark Chamber of Commerce and the city’s entire business community are deeply shocked at the indictment today of Mayor Addonizio, three members of the city council and other officials. THIS outraged statement notwithstanding, Newark’s business leaders had little reason to be shocked by last week’s indictments. Crime and corruption have long been blatantly evident in what may well be the Mafia capital of the U.S. After the city’s bloody 1967 race riot, for example, a special Governor’s commission laid much of the blame to “a widespread belief that Newark’s government is corrupt.

Wireless earbuds are increasingly capable of blocking the noise of the outside world while you listen to some tunes. But when you can’t hear the person right in front of you, it’d be nice if they offered a little help. The IQbuds2 MAX ($319) are on the case.

Hundreds of parents had said they take offense to the school’s namesake after a Confederate Army general, Fox 7 reported.

I’m surfacing from a few hours fiddling with The Master Trials, the first expansion for Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for the Switch, to say that it is precisely what you’ve been waiting for — if what you’ve been waiting for includes rapturous self-annihilation.

Not because anything about the story, quests, mini-games or collectible hunts has changed.

There’s truthfulness in our life. We’re all tied by a bond of friendship. A friend is the most important thing in life. We’re wealthy and we don’t have a dime. Just friendship.

Hengli Jixinge looks just like Henry Kissinger — except, this being China, everyone adores him. Jixinge (pronounced Gee-Sing-Guh) is the way the former Secretary of State’s name is said in Mandarin. And while Kissinger may nowadays get blank stares in the U.S. and other parts of the world, here in Nanjing, where he was giving a speech in late June, practically everyone had heard of him. Almost the entire sample of people I spoke to before the event, from a PR firm manager to a factory electrician, knew who Jixinge was.

Despite all the social developments that have made sex easier (the sexual revolution, dating apps, yassified contraceptives), we still haven’t moved the dial on better. Bad sex has endured. And when I say “bad sex,” I am referring to sex that is quite simply unpleasurable, unsatisfying, or even demoralizing. While older generations are up against many of the same barriers to sexual wellbeing (like purity culture and the enduring impact of inadequate sex education), young people have been uniquely inundated with toxic messaging surrounding sex that has actually disrupted our abilities to feel pleasure.

To most of his acquaintances around Tucson, Charles Schmid Jr., 23, seemed more sick than sinister. A compulsive blabbermouth who prated indefatigably of his sexual and fistic derring-do, the squat (5 ft. 3 in.), sullen-faced high school dropout dyed his hair black, caked his face with makeup, and stuffed so much wadding in his boots to make him look taller that he could hardly walk.

The day Donald Trump rescinded protections that allowed trans students to use the bathroom of their choosing was like any other day for me.

Sleep is vital to your wellbeing, but to get some serious shuteye, you’ll need more than a good mattress—a quality bed frame is also key. A good bed frame doesn’t just elevate your mattress, it also typically provides support, which makes the mattress more comfortable to sleep on, and keeps it from sagging over time. You can also look for bed frames that come with additional practical features, or design features like a colorful headboard to help you spruce up the decor of your bedroom.

The first Soviet Ambassador to Canada flew into Edmonton last week. His five-day flight from Moscow reminded air-conscious Canadians that: 1) the Soviet Union is a neighbor second only to the U.S. in importance to Canada; 2) Russia shares with the Dominion control of the globe’s strategic northern cap.

Since most Americans don’t think much about Lewis and Clark beyond elementary school, it often comes as a surprise to learn that Meriwether Lewis died by suicide in 1809. It was just three years after the end of the cross-country expedition to explore the lands of the Louisiana Purchase, which doubled the size of the nation.

The racial gap in homeownership in the U.S. is wider now than it was back when it was legal to refuse to sell a house to a family because they were Black. The difference is that in the ’60s, it was people who were turning minority families away; now it’s systems. “Our credit-scoring systems, our risk-based pricing systems, our automated underwriting systems, and many of the systems that we use in the housing and financial-services space are inequitable,” says Lisa Rice, 61, president and CEO of the National Fair Housing Alliance (NFHA).

October 31, 2014 4:17 PM EDT Katy Perry may have won Halloween with her Cheeto costume, but Taylor Swift’s get-up is pretty good too. She dressed as a winged unicorn, or as she called it in an Instagram post, a “pegacorn.” For those who don’t know, pegacorn is a portmanteau of “pegasus” and “unicorn.” Tay-Tay’s been super busy this week, so props to her for still finding the time to dress up and celebrate the holiday.

Over lunch nearly 20 years ago, approaching the end of her life and feeling ready to speak of her experiences for the first time, my great-aunt Hélène Podliasky shared with me the story of her escape from the Nazis. I had known she was a member of the Resistance, a collection of multiple underground networks fighting in France against the German occupation from 1940 to the liberation in 1945. But I did not know about Hélène’s arrest and deportation to Ravensbrück, nor about her escape, with eight other women, from a Nazi labor camp.

In the quest to thwart delayed DVR viewing, “live” has become TV’s popular watchword. And with Neil Patrick Harris having demonstrated his diverse talents hosting every imaginable award show, it’s hard to blame NBC for wanting to see if some of that charm could be bottled and applied to a weekly series.

Movies don’t change as time passes, but we do. We watch them in the moment and then move on, leaving them behind as we see and learn new things. When we revisit a film made 20 years ago, we may think it looks dated, though that’s an imprecise and misguided term—it’s like blaming a movie for not having kept up with the times, an order that not even the greatest picture can fulfill.

This weekend brought about the biggest media merger of the year: AT&T will buy Time Warner for $85.4 billion. So Batman, Tony Soprano and CNN may end up under the ownership of the largest pay-TV operator in the country. The news is notable for many reasons, starting with the hefty price tag. AT&T will pay a 35% premium above Time Warner’s value before reports of the merger surfaced last week. But the deal could also affect consumers who subscribe to DirecTV, surf online via AT&T’s U-verse or pay for content from Warner Brothers’ media empire.

When he was 3 or 4 years old, Michael Douglas, as he was then known, liked playing cowboy. The youngest of seven siblings, he would amble into his family’s Pittsburgh garden with his guns and hat and chaps, and get himself into an epic gunfight.

“There is no war so hateful to the gods as a war between kin,” a wise character observes in the second season of HBO’s House of the Dragon. “And no war so bloody as a war between dragons.” Sadly, by the time those words are uttered, both kinds of war have come to seem inevitable. King Viserys I Targaryen (Paddy Considine) is dead, and his bratty son Aegon (Tom Glynn-Carney) has usurped an Iron Throne that rightfully belonged to his older half-sister, Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy).

The link between relationship status and well-being is a complicated one. Despite plenty of sensational headlines—”Get married and get fat!” “Stay single and die young!”—it’s hard to say definitively whether being a spouse or a singleton (or something in between, as many Americans are today) is healthier overall. That’s because every relationship and every person is different, says Bella DePaulo, Ph.D., a visiting researcher at the University of California Santa Barbara and author of Singled Out: How Singles Are Stereotyped, Stigmatized, and Ignored, and Still Live Happily Ever After.

Adele‘s “Easy on Me” has already been recognized for setting first-day records for Spotify streams and YouTube views.

It is not a big deal, really. We know love is not about perfection. It is more about navigating weaknesses and strengthening each other. But during the process of attaining that perfect understanding, there will be times when you’ll likely get it wrong, when some of your actions will hurt your partner and make them sad or unhappy. Your willingness to apologise and your partner’s ability to forgive will be tested at this point, and this could determine whether you ultimately make up or break up.

To those who suffer from gephyrophobia — fear of bridges — the alumi num-painted, 2,235-ft. span between Kanauga, Ohio, and Point Pleasant, W. Va., was a constant horror. Christened in 1928 as the “Gateway to the South,” it swayed sickeningly to every vagrant breeze — so much so that Point Pleas ant Mayor D. B. Morgan banned its use during parades. Last week, under the bumper-to-bumper weight of cars, gravel trucks, and semitrailers, the “Silver Bridge” collapsed, carrying perhaps as many as 100 people to their deaths in the murky, near-freezing Ohio River waters 80 ft.

Correction appended: Sept. 5, 2014. One sunny Sunday morning seven years ago, shortly after we moved into our new home in suburban Kansas City, I noticed that my neighbor across the street was busy in his driveway. Wearing only a pair of shorts, his barrel chest rippling, he was using a sponge and a garden hose to wash his girlfriend’s purple PT Cruiser. Did I feel a twinge of envy at all that this scene implied—the Saturday night romance; the love-interest perhaps dozing languorously inside as her man basked and flexed?

I’m preparing an ordinary Wednesday night dinner, and after putting the finishing touches on a spicy lentil soup—a sure sign that winter is in full force—I reach for bowls and placemats and am about to set the table when I hear a proverb, unbidden, speak itself in my mind: If you eat at the table without a tablecloth, the devil will come and put you down as a tablecloth.

Abutting heavily black Detroit, the predominantly white suburb of Dearborn has earned an unsavory reputation as one of America’s more segregated communities.

Although Hubbard died in 1982, his legacy was hauntingly present last week as civil rights activists expanded a boycott of local stores to protest efforts to bar nonresidents from most of Dearborn’s 39 parks.

We’re coarse or courtly, traditionalist or rebel, amped up or laid-back. And it’s no secret that a lot of that seems to be determined by — or at least associated with — where we live.

In its first five months, 2024 has been what a sports commentator might euphemistically describe as a rebuilding year for TV. The actors’ and writers’ strikes that brought Hollywood to a standstill last summer and fall have, of course, left gaping holes in the calendar. But the more permanent problem is a chaotic contraction in the streaming economy that has left executives scrambling to cut costs (perhaps by canceling your favorite show) and grow revenue (which is why you can now watch Sex and the City on Netflix as well as Max), as the future of second- and third-tier players like Paramount Global and AMC Networks remains precarious at best.

Georgetown is a city of 54,000 just north of Austin known for beautiful Victorian-era architecture around our historic courthouse square. Founded in 1848, we are home to Southwestern University, a small liberal arts college. The City of Georgetown recently announced that our municipal electric utility will move to 100 percent renewable energy sources by 2017. That probably caught some folks by surprise. A town in the middle of a state that recently sported oil derricks on its license plates may not be where you’d expect to see leaders move to clean solar and wind generation.

The store that was born on the corner of Ervay and Main Streets in Dallas has become, like most other things from Texas, larger than life.

Neiman, it was a gamble on an untapped market. Though Dallas has a ritzy-ditzy urban cowboy reputation now, it was more of a down-home midwestern town when doors opened to the public on Sept.

The murder of Aislinn Murray looks like a big opportunity for Detective Antoinette Conway. She usually covers domestic disputes turned fatal, with clear perpetrators. This one is different. The victim in Tana French’s new novel, The Trespasser, has suffered an attack inside her own Dublin apartment.

Human aggression doesn’t have much going for it. Every war, bar brawl, or playground smackdown ever fought has resulted from our habit of lashing out first and talking it through only later. But if aggression has one virtue, it’s that it’s unambiguous. It’s hard to misunderstand the meaning of a missile launch or a punch in the nose. But passive-aggression—regular aggression’s sneaky little cousin? That’s a whole other thing. Passive-aggression is there but it’s not, you see it and you don’t.

LaGuardia Airport offers no fewer than four opportunities to purchase Colleen Hoover’s books between security and the gate—this is expected. What feels almost too on the nose is when, an hour into my flight to Dallas, the woman beside me wakes up from a nap and pulls out a copy of Hoover’s best-known novel, It Ends With Us. I shouldn’t be surprised: Hoover’s books are everywhere. The story of her rise to literary success is straight out of a movie plot, and not a particularly believable one.

Buddhism teaches that suffering is inescapable but that everyone has the potential to overcome it. Taiwan's Dharma Master Cheng Yen is the embodiment of such a soul. As a spiritual guru, Cheng Yen, 73, has an ethereal quality. Yet the Buddhist nun is also the well-grounded, no-nonsense head of a non-profit humanitarian machine with divisions in 50 countries and nearly 10 million supporters and volunteers. The Tzu Chi Foundation (tzu chi means compassionate relief) is known for the astonishing speed and efficiency with which it brings aid to victims of natural disasters.

The company said that it's also starting to use artificial intelligence to report and take down content based on posts marked as suicidal in the past.

SamsungSamsung's refrigerator features a built-in SodaStream sparkling water dispenser. Does your refrigerator have a water dispenser? Mine sure doesn’t. I had to install a filtration system underneath our sink like a common heathen! None of that matters now, though, since I’d be kicking myself if I’d bought a fridge with a regular water dispenser. Why? Because this exists. Samsung and bubbly-water-making company SodaStream have partnered to build a 36-inch refrigerator with “the industry’s first-ever automatic sparkling water dispenser,” according to a joint press release.

In "Doomsday Machine," the Enterprise finds another Federation starship, the Constellation, badly damaged and with only one surviving crew member: Commodore Matt Decker. He explains that the Constellation stumbled upon a miles-long machine that "eats" other starships (and basically anything in its path) as fuel; his crew eventually perished after he ordered his ship to attack. The episode touches on interesting questions about leadership, as well as on weapons of mass destruction and nuclear weapons.

America is in the midst of a racial reckoning which mirrors the crisis that commanded national attention in 1963. In 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace emerged as the standard bearer of white defiance in the face of court orders calling for an end to racial segregation in American schools. As a showdown loomed over the desegregation of the University of Alabama, Wallace framed the crisis as one of an over-reaching federal government.

The pages of the Tintin children’s comic books are not where you would expect to find drug dealers cast in a favorable light. But in Cigars of the Pharaoh, our cowlicked protagonist owes his life to a passing sea captain, who rescues him and his faithful fox terrier Snowy from the Red Sea, into which they have been thrown overboard. That captain was based on the real-life French adventurer, hashish smuggler and sometime opium grower Henry de Monfreid — and the recent reissue of De Monfreid’s beguiling 1933 memoir Hashish: A Smuggler’s Tale is a cause for rejoicing among all those who love briny confessionals and barroom brags.

He’s the host of E!’s The Soup, the star of NBC’s Community and a touring comedian. As if that weren’t enough, he’ll also host the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Feb. 26.

Spirits were abroad on New Year’s Eve along the beaches around Rio de Janeiro. The five-mile crescent of Copacabana and the other Rio beaches blazed with the ritual candles of some 600,000 devotees of Brazil’s fastest-growing cult: “spiritism.” Altars were set up everywhere in the sand, heaped with fetishes and food offerings, bottles of beer and the rotgut alcohol known as cachaça. Around the altars, while drums pounded faster and faster, men, women and children danced and shouted, stomped and babbled.

Recently, while shuffling through a stack of old family pictures, a strange young girl’s face appeared, and startled me. There she was—a wide-eyed teenager with a dark cornucopia of dreadlocks falling around her shoulders, her mouth stitched into silence, searching the water for meaning. I studied her gaze, suddenly dizzy with the memory of a promise I’d made to myself long ago: to burn every picture of myself from this time once I was older, to leave nothing of this version of myself behind.

“Succession” star Sarah Snook won the Emmy on Monday night for outstanding actress in a drama series.

The mastermind behind the super PAC has no regrets. “My only regret is the backlash,” David Keating says with a wry smile. Keating is one of the most influential political activists you’ve never heard of. He was the architect of a federal lawsuit that ended in a landmark 2010 court ruling that reshaped the way elections are run. The case, SpeechNow.org vs. FEC, scrapped annual limits on individual contributions to campaign advocacy groups, ushering in the era of super PACs—political-action committees that can raise unlimited sums as long as they don’t coordinate directly with parties or candidates.

Despite the promised tidings of comfort and joy, twinkling lights, and gifts exchanged, the holiday season can be a great source of pain and loneliness for those of us in the LGBTQIA+ community. The reality of what many queer people experience during the holidays seldom lives up to the sense of wonder and community we were taught to believe in as children. After the experience of coming out—naming our sexual orientation, who we really are, and where we find love—too many of us face rejection, isolation, and shame from the ones who had previously claimed they cherished us.

Ragnar Schmuck / Stone / Getty ImagesIs this the face of a fraud? You may now file hypoallergenic dogs under Things That Are Too Good to Be True. That’s the conclusion of a new study by Henry Ford Hospital researchers, which finds that homes with so-called hypoallergenic dogs don’t have lower household levels of allergens than those with other breeds. Hypoallergenic dogs, which include purebreds like poodles and Portuguese water dogs, along with increasingly popular mixed breeds like labradoodles (the offspring of a Labrador retriever and a poodle), are thought to shed less fur and to produce less of the stuff that triggers allergies, such as dander and saliva.

Tony Bee / Getty Images You may have reason to worry that your car will be ripped off even if it isn’t on the recent “Hot Wheels” report, listing the most stolen vehicles in the U.S. Every year, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), a nonprofit supported by the insurance industry, publishes a report about stolen cars, based on data collected by law enforcement agencies. The report notes trends—in 2011, for instance, there was a rise in thefts of newer cars, even though they’re more likely to have sophisticated anti-theft technology—but the biggest takeaway is the top ten list of most stolen cars.

Even when it’s a private/individual prayer, we tend to shut them by default. However, have you ever asked yourself or anyone why that’s the case? Do we simply do so because of the that’s-how-it’s-always-been- done factor? First, we should understand that every spiritual activity believers engage in must be biblically substantiated. As believers, we don’t do band-wagon or simply go with trends. Instead, we pattern our conducts and practices based on what is prescribed in the Written Word.

Only about 20% of U.S. adults say they have a best friend at work. Should the other 80% start looking for one? Yes and no. There’s no doubt that social support in the workplace is important for health and well-being, says Catherine Heaney, an associate professor of psychology at Stanford who researches the relationship between work and health. That support can come from a co-worker who has become a close friend, but it doesn’t have to; interactions with supervisors and friendly acquaintances can also boost your well-being, Heaney says.

Mike says he was struggling with COVID-19 when he felt his breathing getting worse. He did not want to go to the Veterans Affairs hospital near his home, where he believed doctors might put him on a ventilator. And he knew they would not prescribe the treatment he really wanted: a drug called ivermectin. So in late July, Mike, who says he is a 48-year-old teacher and disabled veteran from New York state, contacted America’s Frontline Doctors (AFLD), a group he had been following on social media.

“The underlying sense of form in my work has been the system of the Universe, or part thereof.” On reading this pompous remark by Alexander Calder, the most internationally celebrated of all living American sculptors, one’s hopes rise. Make way for the cosmic perspective! In fact, as the Whitney Museum’s new retrospective of the work of this venerable figure testifies, his achievement is more modest and realistic. In the 200-odd works that make up “Calder’s Universe,” as the show is called, there is little of the real universe, but a pervasive flavor of its metaphors: orreries, planetary clockwork, automata.

“Do we admire? Not always. Can we remain unmoved? Scarcely ever.” The 19th century critic Eugène Fromentin’s remark is still true of most reactions to Sir Peter Paul Rubens, the unrivaled master of 17th century Baroque painting. The austerities of modern art have taught us to feel queasy in the presence of his immense worldliness, Shakespearean erudition and, above all, his imagery: those nudes, pink bombé-fronted wardrobes of flesh; those heroes and captains and kings, displaying their vigor and assurance like baroque cock-birds of paradise; the fluster of rich fabrics and cloud, the lions and leopards and marble.

Welcome to Should I Eat This?—our weekly poll of five experts who answer nutrition questions that gnaw at you. 4/5 experts say no. Coconut water—salty, sweet, translucent—gets many health freaks amped up. Electrolytes! Potassium! A natural hangover cure!

America's obesity epidemic has led to the posting of calorie counts on menus and the explosion of gyms in strip malls. Now it's forced the country's preeminent junk-food eater to go on a diet. In the spring of 2005, the Sesame Workshop and PBS decided that Cookie Monster's primary character trait — his passion for baked goods — sent a bad message to kids. Since then, the blue Muppet has promoted healthier eating habits, scarfing down fruits and vegetables rather than his usual snack and insisting that eating only cookies is all wrong.

For hundreds of years, Paris’ chiffoniers (rag pickers) had shuffled about quietly in the half-light before dawn, pawing through potato peels and rotten meat in their quest for a handful of old rags or an empty tin can. (Their .reward: for a kilo of rags, 4 francs; for a kilo of iron, half a franc.) Fortnight ago, the chiffoniers ran into trouble.

As a busy mom of five little kids, I’m used to cramming in workouts wherever I can, whether it's neighborhood walks, my husband’s basement gym, or DIY pilates sessions. But thanks to Cincinnati’s unpredictable weather, cardio, and generally full body workouts, can be a struggle. One day it’s pouring rain, the next it’s 100 degrees, and just a few months later the wind chill is below zero. So, when I had the opportunity to try the Hydrow Rower, widely regarded as one of the sleekest, most efficient and high-performing home rowers on the market, I was excited to get my heart rate up a bit more often.

Algerian boxer Imane Khelif, who has faced scrutiny through the Paris Games, is now guaranteed at least an Olympic bronze medal, after defeating Hungary’s Anna Luca Hamori in a unanimous decision in the quarterfinals.  Khelif’s opening-fight defeat of Angela Carini of Italy on Thursday—Carini withdrew after 46 seconds—sparked international outrage given that the International Boxing Association (IBA) claimed last year that she failed an unspecified gender test at the World Women’s Boxing Championships in New Delhi, disqualifying her from the event.

Scaling Mount Everest and then living to tell the story boils down to understanding one thing—sometimes it can’t be done in one shot. That’s according to renowned mountaineer Ed Viesturs.

CAMPAIGN rhetoric is not always up to the level of 1884, when a Republican helped doom his candidate by calling the Democrats the “party of Rum, Romanism and Rebellion.” But this season’s accumulation of banalities, balderdash, wit (sometimes unintended) and invective is impressive enough.
