There are three ways to watch live TV: a digital antenna, cable and a handful of streaming services. After the initial cost of an antenna, the programming is free but extremely limited. Cable content is vast but the plans get expensive quickly and nearly always require contracts. Cord cutters looking for an alternative can turn to live TV streaming services.

(Though that price difference is narrowing as nearly every plan out there has raised its monthly cost). Traditional streaming services also have live components, like…

Newly hatched Maugean skatesJayson Semmens/University of Tasmania One of the world’s most endangered species of marine fish has been saved from extinction, thanks to researchers who captured wild specimens and helped them reproduce in captivity. The Maugean skate (Zearaja maugeana) is only found in Macquarie harbour on the extremely isolated and rugged south-west coast of Tasmania, Australia. The area is already a naturally low-oxygen environment, making it difficult for fish to thrive, but human impacts, especially salmon farming and river flow changes as a result of hydroelectric dams, have made the situation worse.

Needless to say, I was very distraught whenever that happened. If you also missed out on any of these gone-too-soon items, you might be in luck this week. Diptyque is having its Archives Event, bringing back old limited-edition favorites…
