What is it about the ’80s that it delivers on all the campy, juicy drama? V.C. Andrews’ Twilight’s Child was a particularly soaptastic edition in the Cutler Saga with a wedding, two funerals, and the return of not one but two hellions from Dawn’s past. All Jimmy and Dawn were trying to do was live their lives happily with sweet Christie, but family, am I right? Alas, our girl Dawn is finally holding her own, though, dysfunctional AF family and all. She started from the bottom, and now she’s here. Credit where it’s due, Twilight’s Child, unlike V.C. Andrews’ Heaven…

Key metrics: A study find that peer reviewers can often judge the originality, rigour and significance of new work consistently — at least in theoretical physics (courtesy: Shutterstock/Nixx-Photography) Theoretical physicists do a good job when peer reviewing scientific papers, but tend to be more impressed by the significance of new research rather than the rigour with which it was carried out. That is the provocative suggestion of a new study carried out by researchers in the UK and Poland that examines the reliability of peer review in theoretical physics. Peer review involves sending research papers to independent, external referees to…

Among the companies selected for CCSC-2 agreements were Blue Origin, which appeared, in a NASA statement, to be working on a crewed spacecraft; and SpaceX, which offered to develop…

It isn’t unusual for libraries to feature prominently in novels; novelists, after all, are merely adult versions of the little people who fell in love with books at public libraries. But what of librarians? The keepers of the books, the ones who know you prefer romance, science fiction, or self-help? You rarely see them as protagonists; instead, they linger in the background of many novels, shushing anyone who speaks above a whisper or pushing a book cart silently through the stacks. They’re shy and retreating, and like Mary Bailey’s shadow self in the classic film, It’s a Wonderful Life, they…

Does cologne expire? Yes, it does. And it’s a sad fact if, like me, you’ve coveted a cologne for many years. You may find that over time, the scent is not so potent or maybe even smelling sour.In 2017, during a visit to Demark, I bought Cedar Root Black by Scandinavian fashion designer Henrik Vibskov. I was knocked out not only by the unique peppery, wood scent but also by the quirky hand-carved topper on the niche fragrance’s bottle. Not knowing when or if I would ever get to replace it one day, I sprayed it sparsely. I didn’t realize…
In a contorted legal case, a Delaware judge today struck down a settlement that would have helped AMC Entertainment move ahead with steps to raise cash and shore up its stock. “To cut to the chase, the settlement cannot be approved as submitted,” Judge Morgan Zurn of Delaware Chancery Court wrote in a 69-page opinion released today. Her ruling followed several days of hearings earlier this summer in a suit initially brought by a group of AMC investors who challenged the company’s plans to convert preferred equity into common stock. The exhibitor and the shareholders subsequently reached a settlement in…
