Brian Wilson’s family is seeking a conservatorship for the Beach Boys star, saying in a filing that he is “unable to properly provide for his own personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter” due to a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia. The family said in a statement, shared on Wilson’s Instagram, that it took the decision “to ensure that there will be no extreme changes to the household” after the death last month of Wilson’s wife, Melinda, who had been caring for him. A conservatorship, the statement added, would allow Wilson to “work on current projects as well…

About 3 per cent of all carbon emissions are due to the shipping industryGreenOak/Shutterstock A 240-metre-long container ship called the Sounion Trader recently completed a test of an onboard carbon capture system as it cruised around the Persian Gulf. It is one of a small but growing number of ships trying to reduce their climate footprint by capturing and storing their carbon dioxide emissions onboard – but finding space for tonnes of CO2 is a challenge. “You’re miniaturising a system that was designed for huge power plants,” says Roujia Wen at Seabound, the UK-based start-up behind the Sounion Trader’s test…

While it may have followed Seinfeld as Larry David’s second major TV series, Curb Your Enthusiasm has the most unique voice of any TV series of the modern era.  While set almost entirely in Los Angeles, Curb has a very New York-centric and Jewish sensibility. And at the center of it all is Larry David, playing a probably-not-that-exaggerated version of himself.  The show started in October of 1999 as a one-off HBO special, meant to depict the return to stand-up comedy of Larry David, best known at that point as the co-creator of Seinfeld. He was…

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force is preparing to kick off environmental studies that could lead to SpaceX Starship launches from either the Cape Canaveral facility used by the Delta 4 or a new complex. A new website outlines plans by the Department of the Air Force, which includes the Space Force, to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) regarding Starship launches from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Such a review is required by the National Environmental Policy Act for any major action, like construction of a new launch complex. The study would examine the environmental impacts of converting Space…

The best-performing stock of the past three decades is not one of the tech titans you’d assume.It’s actually an energy drink company: Monster Beverage. Monster’s stock has climbed for decades, along with sales, which have grown consistently for 31 years straight. Between Feb. 14, 1994, and Wednesday, Monster’s stock appreciated by about 200,000%. That means that if a consumer had invested $1,000 in 1994, the stake would be worth about $2 million today. Analysts say several factors have driven Monster’s success. But a lot has to do with its leaders, co-CEOs and South African billionaires Rodney Sacks and Hilton Schlosberg, who capitalized early…

Illustration by Christina LocopoRetail has seen unprecedented upheaval over the last several years.Some of the industry’s key decision-makers expect even more evolution ahead.Covid-related shocks have upended retail, after clogged ports and merchandise shortages gave way to excess inventory levels and shifting consumer demands amid persistent inflation. Those disruptions accelerated transformations in the industry that were just hitting some companies before the pandemic, such as the growth of curbside pickup and increased use of mobile apps.As retail leaders enter 2024 hoping the turmoil is now behind them, they’re building businesses for the future and making changes that will transform the industry.Over the…

Germany’s defense minister said on Saturday that his country’s commitment to spend 2% of GDP on defense was just the starting point and that more would likely be needed.Earlier in the day, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz insisted that the 2% spending target would be met “in the 2020s, in the 2030s and beyond.”However, Boris Pistorius, Germany’s federal minister of defense, stressed that spending 2% was always designed to be a minimum.”2% can only be the start of it. We might — we’ll probably need more — in the next years,” Pistorius said on a CNBC-moderated panel at the Munich Security…

In his 1917 essay “Art as Device,” Russian formalist Viktor Shklovsky coined the term “defamiliarization” as a goal of the artist. To “defamiliarize,” simply stated, means to make the familiar appear strange or new. In other words, art should help us “re-see” our ordinary, mundane surroundings in a different way. In Bradley Sides’ new story collection, Crocodile Tears Didn’t Cause the Flood, the weaving of fabulist and fantastical elements into an ordinary modern world is seamless and persistent, leaving readers to believe that monsters and magic are indeed all around us.  The collection is populated with Pteradons and vampires, shark-children…
