Combining Irish music, charisma, and a ghost’s unfinished business made it feel like Fall. Many ghosts have unfinished business. It’s a well-known trope in murder mysteries, and Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major expanded on it with detailed characters and picturesque Irish charm. I was as captivated by the Irish scenery and music as I was trying to solve the mystery, and I love murder mysteries. Tamera Mowry-Housley was delightful as the lead character, a former orchestra conductor Gethsemane Brown. She’s easily charmed by Ireland and the tales surrounding Orla and Eamon’s deaths, but she insists that ghosts don’t…

Murder has long been a man’s game in literature. Patrick Batemen, Joe Goldberg and Tom Ripley are just a few of the complicated killers who have appeared in novels (and later on screens). Readers take a front row seat to their sadistic minds and delight in their depravity as they kill with few consequences. Similarly, horror films, murder thrillers and shows like SVU abound, in which male killers stalk women who often function as disposable prey. It’s a refreshing change when an author can turn the tables on this narrative. My debut novel Kill for Love “neatly flips the formula…

[embedded content] Although it seems like a mundane material, the rich and varied behaviour of sand has long fascinated physicists – from the creation and motion of mighty dunes to the patterns of tiny ripples that appear on beaches. Now, researchers at Lehigh University in the US have put a new magnetic twist on the dynamics of sand. Their sand comprised polymer spheres called microrollers, which have one hemisphere coated with a magnetic material. When a magnet was rotated beneath a container holding the microrollers, they began to flow uphill. The team reckons that this bizarre behaviour is related to…

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Satellogic is relocating from Uruguay to the United States in a bid for more government business as revenues continue falling short of expectations, the publicly traded Earth observation operator announced Sept. 21. Satellogic is currently registered in the British Virgin Islands and headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, meaning it is not subject to U.S. export controls for an imagery business that recently branched into selling its dishwasher-sized satellites to other companies. The domicile change means Satellogic would lose this export advantage it had over U.S.-based satellite suppliers, its vice president of sales Luciano Giesso said during the…

Un testigo nos dice que no había ningún signo de drama entre los dos y todo parecía amistoso. Lo que el testigo no captó, sin embargo, fue si los cuatro llegaron juntos o por separado,…

When I turned eighteen, I started going to a Lincoln Heights music venue called Low End Theory a couple times a month. Hosted every Wednesday, the spot was a hotbed for experimental hip-hop producers. I’d pick up my friend David in Anaheim’s fringes, and then we’d make the hour-long drive to the venue. We’d met online six or seven years earlier playing Tony Hawk’s American Wasteland, which at the time was the most recent installment of the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater (THPS) series. The “Wasteland,” of course, was Greater Los Angeles. The game’s open-world design was innovative for its time—players…
