READ MORE It’s one of the reasons the MAGA hat has become shorthand for the current administration and why increasingly it makes sense to offer up a physical alternative to the cap. Like, for example, the multicolored “Vote” bamboo-cotton tee designed by Mr. Gurung to represent not only the action, but also the idea of the rainbow nation. As opposed to the angry red one. Ms. Steele traces the rise of this more formal political fashion to the Obama administration, arguably the first truly digital White House, as well as to the related fund-raising efforts of Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue, via her Runway to Win. The synergies picked up steam during the Hillary Clinton campaign, with brands like Supreme endorsing Mrs. Clinton and offering up related products . (Ms. Wintour famously wore a sequined Hillary T-shirt during New York Fashion Week in 2016.) And when Mrs. Clinton didn’t win, the resulting disenchantment could be seen on multiple runways , including tho...

READ MORE A Liberal effort to remove an opposition MP from her position as chair of a multi-party parliamentary group descended into chaos Tuesday night, with Tory staffers and at least one MP taking to song in an attempt to register their displeasure and disrupt the proceeding. Leona Alleslev, a one-time Liberal who recently crossed the floor to join the Conservatives, was the chair of the Canadian NATO parliamentary association going into to Tuesday evening’s meeting. By the end of the meeting, Alleslev had been replaced by Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj. So, our self-declared feminist Prime Minister has ordered his MPs to take out the Chair of the non-partisan NATO Parliamentary Association. The current chair is a female Veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces. a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/SunnyWays?src=hashamp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”#SunnyWays/a a href=”https://t.co/WxilQi3LsS”pic.twitter.com/WxilQi3LsS/a mdash; @ErinOTooleMP But ...

READ MORE Several Liberal MPs say they are unable to explain the prolonged absence of their colleague Nicola Di Iorio, who hasn’t been seen on Parliament Hill since the House resumed sitting Sept. 17. The Montreal-area MP said in late September that he was mulling over his political future but has yet to confirm a departure. Questioned Wednesday in Ottawa, several of Di Iorio’s fellow Liberal MPs professed to be in the dark about his intentions. “I haven’t seen him … and I have no idea what’s going on with Mr. Di Iorio,” Montreal-area MP Michel Picard said. A similar message came from Diane Lebouthillier, who said, “I haven’t seen him either, so I can’t give you any more information.” Montreal MP Emmanuel Dubourg said Di Iorio’s absence had been noted, but “I don’t know his exact position, what he plans to do.” Ontario MP John McKay expressed confusion. “I thought he quit,” h...

READ MORE How can nano-sized polymer thin films with controlled wettability be prepared in an environmentally friendly method? Researcher Dong Kee Yi has discovered a method of controlling surface wettability of wavy patterned two-dimensional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films by combining colloidal self-assembly and controlled strained-releasing. This innovative strategy has demonstrated that the surface wettability of wavy patterned polymer thin films was tuned by the details of the grooved geometries on the surface of the films. The wavy PDMS films exhibited time-dependent reversible wettability, which was understood to be the result of the reversible surface chemistry of PDMS. The buckling nature of the pre-strained polymers was further applied to the fabrication of second layer of wavy polymers, which showed surface hydrophobicity on different geometries. Controlling the wettability of polymeric substrates is of great importance in the development of flexible, highly functional m...

READ MORE Hormonal changes, a drop in sexual functioning, and less satisfaction in bed are among the many downsides of obesity. Obese men in particular are known to experience lower testosterone levels, lower sexual satisfaction, and reduced fertility compared to men of normal weight. On average the odds of male infertility are said to increase by 10 per cent for every nine kilograms a man is overweight. Up until now most studies on the relationship between fertility and bariatric surgery have been focused on women. So Lee and his colleagues set out to review the available research on the influence of this procedure on male sex hormones and sperm quality. “As the prevalence of both male infertility and bariatric surgery increases, knowledge of how surgical intervention affects fertility outcomes may better inform patient and surgeon decisions on pursuing this procedure,” says Lee. In all, 28 studies carried out between 1998 and 2018 drawing on data from more than 1000 patien...

READ MORE Jack Patera, a former NFL player who became the first head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, died Wednesday at the age of 85. The team confirmed his death and said pancreatic cancer was the cause. After playing college football at Oregon, Patera was chosen by the Baltimore Colts as the 44th overall pick of the 1955 NFL Draft. He played both guard on offense and middle linebacker, but a squabble with coach Weeb Ewbank about his position led to him being cut in 1958. He later played for the Chicago Cardinals and the Dallas Cowboys. His player career done because of injuries, Patera became the defensive line coach of the Los Angeles Rams in 1963, then moved on to the Minnesota Vikings. When Seattle gained an expansion franchise in 1976, he was hired as the first coach. He was named NFL Coach of the Year when the Seahawks finished 9-7, but the team never had a better record than that under Patera, and he was fired in the 1982 season. He finished with a 35-59 record. “We didn...

READ MORE SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – – San Francisco Giants Hall of Fame slugger Willie McCovey, one of the most formidable batters in Major League Baseball, died on Wednesday at age 80, following a “battle with ongoing health issues,” the team said. Blessed with a sweeping, powerful swing, the left-handed first baseman hit 521 homers during his 22 years in the majors, and his 18 grand slams rank as the most ever by a player who spent his career entirely in the National League. McCovey, whose death the Giants announced on Twitter, was voted National League Rookie of the Year in 1959, won Most Valuable Player honors in 1969, and was a six-time All Star. He played for the Giants, San Diego Padres and Oakland Athletics but was most closely identified with the Giants, playing 19 seasons in San Francisco alongside future Hall of Fame teammates Willie Mays, Orlando Cepeda, Juan Marichal and Gaylord Perry. Along the way, the 6-foot 4-inch Alabama native — nicknamed...

READ MORE The meeting did little to quell the anger. On Friday, Ms. Stapleton said, she created an internal mailing list to organize a walkout. More than 200 employees joined over the weekend, she said, and the numbers have since grown to more than 1,500. On Tuesday, Richard DeVaul, one of the Alphabet executives who The Times revealed was accused of harassment, resigned from the company . He did not receive an exit package, according to a company spokeswoman. That same day, Mr. Pichai sent an apologetic email to employees saying he would support this week’s protest. He said that some workers had already raised constructive ideas of how to improve policies around harassment and that he hoped to “turn these ideas into action,” according to the email, which was obtained by The Times. Employees organizing the walkout have called on Google to end the practice of private arbitration — which requires people to waive their right to sue and often includes confidentiality...

READ MORE JAKARTA (Reuters) – Indonesian divers have retrieved a black box from a Lion Air jet that crashed into the sea this week with 189 aboard and brought it back to a ship on the surface, one of the divers told media on Thursday. The black box could provide clues to what happened after the still new plane lost contact with ground staff just 13 minutes after taking off early on Monday from Jakarta, on its way to the tin-mining town of Pangkal Pinang. There were no survivors. “We dug and we got the black box,” from among debris in the mud on the sea floor, the diver, identified as Hendra, told broadcaster Metro TV on board a search vessel, the Baruna Jaya. It was orange in color and intact, he said, without saying whether it was the flight data recorder or the cockpit voice recorder, which are both usually referred to as black boxes. Only “small pieces” of the aircraft had been found, the diver said, adding that the search had gradually closed in on the ...

READ MORE LONDON (Reuters) – Silicon Valley technology giants such as Facebook and Google have grown so dominant they may need to be broken up, unless challengers or changes in taste reduce their clout, the inventor of the World Wide Web told Reuters. The digital revolution has spawned a handful of U.S.-based technology companies since the 1990s that now have a combined financial and cultural power greater than most sovereign states. Tim Berners-Lee, a London-born computer scientist who invented the Web in 1989, said he was disappointed with the current state of the internet, following scandals over the abuse of personal data and the use of social media to spread hate. “What naturally happens is you end up with one company dominating the field so through history there is no alternative to really coming in and breaking things up,” Berners-Lee, 63, said in an interview. “There is a danger of concentration.” But he urged caution too, saying the speed of innova...

READ MORE The following statements were posted to the verified personal Twitter account of U.S. President Donald Trump (@realDonaldTrump) The opinions expressed are his own. Reuters has not edited the statements or confirmed their accuracy. @realDonaldTrump : – The Caravans are made up of some very tough fighters and people. Fought back hard and viciously against Mexico at Northern Border before breaking through. Mexican soldiers hurt, were unable, or unwilling to stop Caravan. Should stop them before they reach our Border, but won’t! [0838 EDT] – Our military is being mobilized at the Southern Border. Many more troops coming. We will NOT let these Caravans, which are also made up of some very bad thugs and gang members, into the U.S. Our Border is sacred, must come in legally. TURN AROUND!

READ MORE Saint Petersburg  doesn’t reveal her beauty to you all at once.  To discover her secrets, you must work at it patiently, like a sculptor who reveals the appeal of a cold slab of stone by chipping away at it gently until the statue beneath is revealed in all its glory.  So to appreciate this city properly, you must be prepared to spend a few weeks (or months)…impossible for a mere tourist, of course…but there you have it. I say this because, even though I have spent a considerable amount of time and money to see the best attractions here, I’m always left thinking that I hurried too much and left much unseen.  There was that corridor in the Hermitage filled with Grecian urns and Etruscan antiquities that I couldn’t break free from my tour group to see.  There was the crypt with the relics of  St. John of Kronstadt  that I should have requested to view long in advance.  There was the d...

READ MORE The classification, building off of 15 years of work at the Allen Institute, uncovered many rare brain cell types and laid the groundwork for revealing new functions of two of those rare neuron types. The study captured cell-by-cell information from parts of the mouse cortex that are involved in vision and movement. Scientists are very far from understanding how the mammalian brain does what it does. They don’t even entirely know what it’s made of — the different types of brain cells. What neuroscientists are up against in their work is akin to trying to recreate a delicious, complex meal, not only without knowing the ingredients and recipe that went into making it, but without even having any way to describe many of those ingredients. In the new study, the researchers came up with a way to describe those ingredients by analyzing the genes from nearly 24,000 of the mouse’s 100 million brain cells, creating a list of 133 cell types. Because the study cap...

READ MORE The group’s analysis of a trio of Martian meteorites that fell to Earth — Tissint, Nakhla, and NWA 1950 — showed that they contain an inventory of organic carbon that is remarkably consistent with the organic carbon compounds detected by the Mars Science Laboratory’s rover missions. In 2012, Steele led a team that determined the organic carbon found in 10 Martian meteorites did indeed come from the Red Planet and was not due to contamination from Earth, but also that the organic carbon did not have a biological origin. This new work takes his research to the next step — trying to understand how Mars’ organic carbon was synthesized, if not by biology. Organic molecules contain carbon and hydrogen, and sometimes include oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, and other elements. Organic compounds are commonly associated with life, although they can be created by non-biological processes as well, which are referred to as abiotic organic chemistry. “Rev...
