- The idea of the "Bloomsbury look" as an identifiable style is well-cemented. It feels like every few years, a fashion designer references them on the catwalk, and magazines follow with shoots of how to "get the look". Porter summarises the "Bloomsbury look" thusly: "It's a loose longline floaty patterned dress, or a cardigan over a blouse that's buttoned up – in can be really librarian, in this demeaning view of librarians!"
- Virginia Woolf recognised that to understand humans you have to understand clothes," he says when we meet at the gallery. "Clothes aren't just a decorative punctuation point."
- Woolf often uses Orlando's changes in clothing to say something about the changing times and gender expectations they live under. A young male Orlando may romp through the countryside or ice skate along the Thames, but the female Orlando in the 18th and 19th Centuries is as hampered by crinolines as she is by the way society suddenly sees her as delicate and enfeebled. Eventually, she embraces androgyny, and starts wearing breeches – just as Woolf's lover, and inspiration for Orlando, Vita Sackville-West was wont to do.
- Other moons with the potential for life include Jupiter's Callisto and Ganymede, and Saturn's Titan. Several major space missions are being planned over the next decade to search for hints of life in alien oceans. But what kind of life might we discover?
- If lunar bugs *had* hitched a ride, they could have seized this opportunity to enter the Pacific Ocean. It could, in principle, have proved catastrophic for life on Earth. Luckily for us, that didn't happen.
- Small businesses are investing large sums, too. Michael Phillips, who owns Phillips Farms in Cary, North Carolina, says its Halloween attractions – including the Field of Lost Souls and ultra-creepy Gore House – usually take $25,000 to $50,000 to mount. He needs 70 or more people to put on the show, which sees 1,500 to 2,000 people come through every night.
- Along with these major productions, even local charity haunts in storied town landmarks as well as mom-and-pop farms spooking out their barns are spending five- to six-figures to stand up their attractions.
- But Pagente is part of a new generation of drag queens who use their performances to champion their causes and test the limits of free speech.
- The video features a bearded Pagente dressed as Jesus Christ, performing a rock version of the Lord's Prayer in Tagalog. It has since been deleted.
- The instalment of the robot in Takikawa city in the autumn of 2020 marked the first time the robot beast was used to repel bears, said Motohiro Miyasaka, the president of Wolf Kamuy, the company that developed the product.

- The changing of colours and crest provoked most anger, and after talks between fan groups and Red Bull, the company came to an agreement to have violet only on the goalkeeper socks, further raising tensions and alienating a large group of their support.
- The Red Bull supremo, who died in October last year, was extremely passionate about the game and having seen his company work wonders in various other sports, he wanted them to succeed in football the most.
So when Red Bull took over Austria Salzburg - the club from the city in which the company is based - there was great optimism and excitement. It turned sour quickly.
- The story of how the blue whales were found can be traced all the way back to the 1940s, when human beings discovered they could unlock the terrible power of the atom. After the US Trinity test and the bombing of Japan, decades of instability and fear followed, as nations raced to build their own arsenals and test ever-more powerful weapons.
- What have atomic bombs got to do with a pod of whales? The answer lies in a global network of sensors, placed in some of the world's most remote locations. Since the 1990s, its operators in a control room in Vienna, Austria have been listening for rogue nuclear tests. But as the years have passed, their network has also picked up many other sounds and rumblings throughout the ocean, ground and atmosphere – and that's now proving a surprising boon to science.
- Reindeer have a unique history. Wild reindeer were the most important prey to humans 40,000 years ago, and one of the first animals in the north after the last ice age. Reindeer have developed an adaptation to the cold climate in the north – they are specialists. In Sámi culture, you learn that the reindeer have a lot of knowledge about nature, such as deciphering future weather conditions and what the terrain is like. It is said that it is always safe where the reindeer have wandered.
- The Yukon in North America boasts one of the longest salmon runs in the world. Meet the rich variety of life that has made this great frozen river home, from musk ox to ice bears.
- Europe’s Danube stretches 2,800 kilometres from the Alps to the Black Sea. From the great white pelican to the endangered sturgeon, it also supports a surprising range of wildlife. Find out how it’s coping with years of human impact.
- The lives of many families have changed because of the additional income they get from selling frankincense,” says 26-year-old local woman, Birtukan Gebeyehu, who has been working with Tree Aid to grow this sustainable crop. "When you come to our area, trees are the beginning and the end. The whole system exists because there are trees.
- A thousand tolou keur is already 1.5 million trees,” Ndiaye says, envisioning a string of spiral gardens sprouting across Senegal. Less than a year after the first tolou keur was established, around 24 of these gardens are flourishing.
- Even today we miss a lot of asteroids that are potentially dangerous.
- And then. There it was, a tiny chunk of black, dusty stone that came from outer space. About a month earlier, a team of astronomers had predicted in what part of the world meteorites from a particular asteroid would fall. That asteroid, named 2018 LA, exploded in the night-time sky in Botswana several hours after it was seen hurtling towards our plant.
- The term “biomimicry” was coined in 1998 by Janine Benyus, a natural history writer who went on to co-found the world’s first Biomimicry Institute in 2006.
- For billions of years, nature has worked relentlessly to ensure each life form on Earth is functioning at its very best. Through countless stages of evolution, plants in particular have become engineered to such a high degree that modern creative minds are studying them closely to find solutions to some of our own problems. From self-cleaning paint inspired by the lotus leaf, to wind turbine blades modelled on maple seeds, plants have a lot to teach us. Welcome to the world of biomimicry.
- Space junk from satellites, humans and rockets is cluttering the once empty space surrounding our planet.
- NASA has even set up a network to track all the debris floating in the cosmos to avoid freak accidents of it falling to Earth. Earth Lab’s Dom Burgess discovers the likelihood of being hit by a piece of falling junk.

"But that doesn't mean there weren't other people advising him exactly the opposite. And the president has a right, as every one of us do, to listen to several opinions and make a decision."
- Alina Habba argued that the former president had been given bad guidance by his team in the aftermath of the election.
- The allegations laid out on Tuesday in an indictment, or charge sheet, include a count of "conspiracy to impair, obstruct, and defeat the federal government function through dishonesty, fraud and deceit".
Mr Trump lost the 2020 election to his Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, but he refused to concede and mounted weeks of challenges across several US states.
- as the reviews of Barbie have flooded in this week, one obvious irony has stood out: the eternal supporting player is actually the star. For no-one has been getting greater notices for the film than Ryan Gosling, playing the blonde-haired "stereotypical Ken" amid the innumerable variety of Kens within Barbie Land.
- As a relatively young and culturally diverse country, New Zealand embraces and adapts to food cuisines from across the world, so both restaurants and supermarkets have many choices on offer, says Lawrence . But what really makes it liveable is the friendliness of the people. "Most Kiwis are kind, willing to help and always have a cheery hello when you cross paths on a walk," she said. "I love how open with a smile and a hello people are here."
- *Locals say that Osaka is more affordable and feels safer than other similar big cities*
- Business owners from other countries are also drawn here for the supportive immigration policies.

"For starting a business, what Vancouver does so well is the people. There's someone you can reach or services to turn to every step along the way of your entrepreneurial journey. The business community here is extremely supportive and inclusive."
- Posting on Twitter after the show, Healy said: "Thank you Dubai you were so amazing. I don't think we'll be allowed back due to my 'behaviour' but know that I love you and I wouldn't have done anything differently given the chance again."

- Human remains would be placed above the towers and left for vultures to eat so the land would remain uncontaminated – another sacred element in Zoroastrianism. According to scholar and researcher KE Eduljee, dakhmas were designed to ensure that corpses and their fluids don't come into contact with the earth or run into rivers, thereby polluting the soil and rivers and spreading disease. This practice developed in small mountain valleys where arable land was scarce and disease would decimate an entire village.
- *Fire temples were built across Azerbaijan to keep the sacred flames of Zoroastrianism burning*

- *The Shahdag National Park is a seldom-explored expanse of alpine meadows and snow-capped peaks*
- Pterosaurs are much more than just pterodactyls, then. And this fact is partly why Witton wants to celebrate Arambourgiania. Like T. rex or woolly mammoths, it’s a species that members of the public should know about, besides just academic researchers, he says. After all, it too is part of the long and varied history of our planet.
- Besides the vertebra, we also have some additional fossils that likely came from Arambourgiania, including the end of a wing bone, or phalanx. These help reveal a bit more about what this ancient flier looked like.
- It’s hard to say much for certain about this impressive species of pterosaur, but what we know about its neck is based on one of a few surviving fossils – a vertebra, in this case a neck bone. Mysteriously, no-one knows when it was discovered because documentation did not survive with it, but Witton thinks it was likely back in the 1930s or early 1940s. We do know that it was found in Jordan and that the specimen was written about in a 1954 paper by Camille Arambourg, the French palaeontologist from whom the pterosaur gets its name.
- Domino is an artist of many forms. He’s a writer, rapper, poet, producer, photographer, visual artist, director, and more, and he’s been a web3 trailblazer for over 2 years.
