Signed into law in 1935, the program was to insure against the “hazards and vicissitudes of life.” In practice, it meant the creation of a work-related contributory system in which workers secure their own retirement by taxes paid while employed.

S2But We Had Music: Nick Cave Reads an Animated Poem about Black Holes, Eternity, and How to Bear Our Lives  The seventh annual Universe in Verse — a many-hearted labor of love, celebrating the wonder of reality through science and poetry — occasioned a joyous collaboration with Australian musician and writer Nick Cave and Brazilian artist and filmmaker Daniel Bruson on an animated poem reckoning with this central question of being alive. At 7PM EST on April 7, tune into the livestream of the 2024 Universe in Verse, celebrating the science and wonder of eclipses, to hear Nick tell the ecliptic story of marrying the love of his life, alongside a constellation of other dazzling humans bringing to life the science of gravity and relativity, tides and black holes, the formation of the Moon and the chemistry of the Sun, through poems and stories that help us meet reality on its own terms and broaden the terms on which we meet ourselves and each other.

S4A Simple Phrase for Getting Better Help  Giving and receiving help are essential aspects of organisational life, whether that’s providing career advice or soliciting a colleague’s input on a tricky technical problem that you just can’t solve on your own. Through help exchange, individuals gain access to ideas, resources and relationships that help them complete tasks more efficiently and effectively than if working alone.However, a growing body of research has documented various ways in which people routinely fail to seek or offer help due to systemic misperceptions – namely, discrepancies in what help requesters and requestees believe are expected from each other. Individuals could be reluctant to ask for help because they think they are bothering others or due to a fear of being perceived as needy, entitled or incompetent. People may also fail to provide their assistance as they believe that offering unsolicited help may come off as insulting or presumptuous.

S5Space: The $1.8 trillion opportunity for global economic growth  The space industry is approaching the next frontier, with each week bringing news of a major development somewhere in the world. Be it a test of a new rocket system, the launch of an innovative satellite, or a robotic exploration mission safely landing on the moon, activity in space is accelerating.We estimate that the global space economy will be worth $1.8 trillion by 2035 (accounting for inflation), up from $630 billion in 2023. This figure includes both “backbone” applications—such as those for satellites, launchers, and services like broadcast television or GPS—and what we term “reach” applications”—those for which space technology helps companies across industries generate revenues. Uber, for example, relies on the combination of satellite signals and chips inside smartphones to connect drivers and riders and provide directions in every city.

S7Editor's Note: We found that one of these traits is a metabolite called kynurenine, which is produced from the breakdown of the amino acid tryptophan. We found that blood from donors with higher levels of kynurenine was less likely to restore hemoglobin levels in transfusion recipients compared with donors with lower kynurenine levels.
S8Editor's Note: Modi's success can confuse his detractors. After all, he has increasingly authoritarian tendencies: Modi only rarely attends press conferences, has stopped sitting down for interviews with the few remaining journalists who would ask him difficult questions, and has largely sidestepped parliamentary debate. He has centralized power and built a cult of personality while weakening India's system of federalism. S9Editor's Note: "In many studies, dietary sources of Omega-3s yielded better results than supplements," she writes. Fatty acids form our neurons' cell membrane and may influence cell signalling and neuroplasticity. They also reduce inflammation, which is linked to poorer mental health. S10Editor's Note: NAFLD, however, has slipped under the radar, due to what Lazarus describes as "a generalised lack of urgency and policies to tackle the issue" along with low levels of public awareness. According to Lazarus, this is largely because it is so stealthy. "The liver is having trouble functioning, but we're not feeling it, and that's a big problem," he says. S11Editor's Note: "When a steady state is reached roughly 20 years from now, the impact of abortion will be roughly twice as great as the impact felt so far. Our results suggest that all else equal, legalised abortion will account for persistent declines of 1% a year in crime over the next two decades". S12Editor's Note: China wields the most influence in 31 countries. Its clout is greatest in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and several states in South-East Asia. By contrast the next-most powerful member of the global south, India, is top dog with only six G77 members. According to an earlier analysis by pcif, from 1992 to 2020 the number of countries over which China had more influence than America almost doubled, from 33 to 61. The United States remains pre-eminent in the Americas. But China has extended its influence in Africa and Asia. S13Editor's Note: Using AI from Palantir, an American firm, Ukrainian counter-intelligence fishes for illuminating linkages in disparate pools of data. Imagine, for instance, an indebted divorcee at risk of losing his flat and custody of his children who opens a foreign bank account and has been detected with his phone near a site that was later struck by missiles. In addition to such dot-connecting, the AI performs "social-network analysis". If, say, the hypothetical divorcee has strong personal ties to Russia and has begun to take calls from someone whose phone use suggests a higher social status, then AI may increase his risk score. S14What's behind extreme psychological reactions to eclipses? - National Geographic Premium (No paywall)  Now 33 years later, Makepeace is one of the world’s most well-known eclipse chasers and has seen 17 total solar eclipses around the world, on all seven continents, from Libya to Antarctica to Tidore Island in eastern Indonesia. A filmmaker by trade, he shares his eclipse reports and videos as The Eclipse Guy, and his ruminations of what it all means as a public speaker.Each eclipse feels as intense as the last, he says. “Nothing extraterrestrial, but a firehose to the face of your fundamental humanity. Emotions are high; tears fall; you’ll think: ‘That was the most beautiful thing I’ve seen and I’m not sure what happened to me, but it meant something.’”

S15S16 Why Executives Can't Get Comfortable With AI  The spring 2024 issue's special report looks at how to take advantage of market opportunities in the digital space, and provides advice on building culture and friendships at work; maximizing the benefits of LLMs, corporate venture capital initiatives, and innovation contests; and scaling automation and digital health platform.The spring 2024 issue's special report looks at how to take advantage of market opportunities in the digital space, and provides advice on building culture and friendships at work; maximizing the benefits of LLMs, corporate venture capital initiatives, and innovation contests; and scaling automation and digital health platform.Executives need to have an understanding of information technology in order to derive business value from it and to productively interact with IT professionals. Nevertheless, IT experts have long lamented many executives' limited knowledge of IT's underlying functionality. In turn, many executives have (often unconsciously) declined to develop such IT literacy, preferring instead to focus their time and attention on domain and business matters.

S1756 Years Later, a Groundbreaking Sci-Fi Franchise Might Just Have Confirmed Its Biggest Twist  The relative lengths of epic sci-fi and fantasy movies are all over the place right now. While Dune: Part Two doesn’t quite hit the three-hour mark, it gets close at two hours and 46 minutes. Meanwhile, Kong x Godzilla: The New Empire and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire are each much more old-school in length — both just shy of two hours. Somewhere in the middle of this non-trend will be Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which will clock in at two hours and 25 minutes. This runtime makes it the longest film in the Apes franchise by a small margin; War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) was two hours and 20 minutes.But, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is still roughly 40 minutes longer than the original 1968 film, and nearly a full hour longer than 1971’s Escape from the Planet of the Apes. Since this movie feels like a soft reboot for the entire franchise, one has to wonder if this long-ish runtime is indicative of something bigger. Could the runtime of Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes hint at the movie’s wildest secret?

S18Inside the "Ed Wood" World of '90s Video Game Acting  Jeanne Basone was appearing in a popular weekly lunchtime lingerie show and raffling off prizes at Chuy’s restaurant in Glendale, California in 1993 when she was approached by a regular customer asking her to star in Plumbers Don’t Wear Ties. “And that’s how,” she chuckles good-naturedly, “I ended up in the Ed Wood of video games!”Her description is apt. The game has acquired cult status as a charming disasterpiece worthy of historically terrible director Wood’s infamous Plan 9 From Outer Space, his endearingly incomprehensible 1957 sci-fi horror once called the “worst movie ever made” by none other than Jerry Seinfeld.

S19Did Solar Eclipses Boost the Economies of Our Ancestors? These Researchers Think So  In pre-industrial societies, human curiosity and economic growth seemed to increase following solar eclipses. From stopping wars between ancient civilizations to confirming the theory of general relativity and rocketing Einstein to fame, the hundreds of solar eclipses that have swept over Earth before today have undoubtedly influenced how we live our lives. But recent research suggests these scientific wonders may have also skyrocketed past societies’ wealth.

S202024's Goriest Sequel is Drawing From a True-Crime Tragedy -- With a Twist  Ti West’s latest horror remix is nearly here. Just two years after delivering a tongue-in-cheek homage to ‘70s slashers and indie adult films with X, the director is teaming up with his partner in crime, Mia Goth, to bring the X trilogy to an end. After pulling double duty as final girl and slasher in both X and its Golden Age-era prequel, Pearl, Goth is back as Maxine Minx, an aspiring star striving endlessly for her big break. Six years have passed since the massacre in X, and Maxine certainly hasn’t been idle. In that time, she’s become a big name in the adult film scene. Naturally, though, that’s not quite enough for her. She doesn’t want to be just a porn star: she’s a star, period — and Hollywood is finally beginning to take notice.

S2159 Years Later, The Oldest Sci-Fi Show Ever Is Fixing A Very Big Beatles Problem  The biggest band in history, perhaps not surprisingly, has a long history with science fiction and fantasy. But how do you a sci-fi story about the Beatles? The most obvious answer is probably the 2019 alternate universe film Yesterday (imagine there’s no Beatles!) while the more obscure example would be the classic Quantum Leap episode, “The Leap Home,” in which Sam sings “Imagine” to his sister, two years before the song was even released. But both examples come to the same conclusion: If you’re gonna do sci-fi about the Beatles, you’ve got to have Beatles songs, right? According to Doctor Who showrunner Russell T. Davies, maybe you don’t need Beatles music to do Beatles sci-fi. In a new interview with Empire, doing a Beatles sci-fi story without Beatles music paradoxically became a solution, rather than a problem.

S22Amazon's Most Exciting Sci-Fi Show Is Already Getting a Season 2  Watching a TV show without knowing if it’s up for renewal can be frustrating. Is it worth getting your hopes up for more adventures after the finale, or should you accept that you might be stuck with a cliffhanger ending forever? Not every show can be Andor and begin with a two-season order. Thankfully, it appears one of the most anticipated sci-fi shows of the year was renewed just days before its Season 1 release, so fans can watch worry-free.While Prime Video hasn’t officially announced Fallout Season 2, Deadline reports that the state of California has revealed the series will take advantage of its tax credit program and film Season 2 in the state.

S2427 Years Later, Final Fantasy Producer Shoots Down a Major Remake Rumor  If you’ve spent any amount of time following Final Fantasy online in the past few years, you’ve probably heard the rumors and desperate demands for a remake of Final Fantasy Tactics. The long-requested remake has been denied again and again, so despite multiple supposed leaks confirming its existence, it sometimes feels like a dream too big to be realized. But if recent comments from two of the most important figures in Final Fantasy history are anything to go by, fans actually may not be thinking big enough.Naoki Yoshida, producer of Final Fantasy 16 and director of Final Fantasy 14, was recently asked about Square Enix’s potential return to the world of Final Fantasy Tactics during a PAX East interview. While he didn’t spill details on any projects in development, he did echo sentiments that fans of the series can agree with.

S2522 Years Later, Alex Garland Reveals Why He Returned for '28 Years Later'  When Alex Garland wrote the script for 28 Days Later, he was simply an accomplished novelist making his first major crossover into Hollywood. But over two decades later, he returns to the franchise a lauded director with modern sci-fi classics like Ex Machina and Annihilation under his belt. However, with the Civil War filmmaker pondering a break from directing “for the foreseeable future,” it was the chance to get back to just screenwriting that drew him to the zombie franchise.“I wanted to write for other directors,” Garland tells Inverse. “I'd worked with Danny Boyle a few times and I thought we worked well together. I was really interested in the idea of working with Danny again.”

S26This Vision Pro App Makes Spatial Personas Look Like the Best Way to Co-Watch Sports  When Apple added Spatial Personas, it made the Vision Pro feel less lonely. Now, developers are trying to embrace the social aspect of Apple’s newest Vision Pro feature, creating ways to watch live sports with friends and family.Immersiv.io is taking full advantage of Spatial Personas by designing apps that let people watch sporting events with other Vision Pro users. It might be a hard sell to get people to wear the Vision Pro for the entire duration of a game, but the idea of using mixed reality to make live sports a more memorable experience at least looks exciting in theory.

S272 Years After It Was Cancelled, HBO's Messiest Sci-Fi Show Could Nail Its Finale With A Classic Genre Trick  It’s been two years since HBO canceled its cerebral sci-fi drama Westworld, but its fourth and final season did lay the groundwork for a fifth installment. Co-creators Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy always envisioned the story as a five-season affair that would bring the battle between humans and hosts to a natural conclusion. Though they’ve since moved on to Amazon’s Fallout, the duo haven’t given up on a possible Season 5 for Westworld.“We’re completionists,” Nolan recently told The Hollywood Reporter. “We’d like to finish the story we started.”

S28The Most Inventive Shooter of the Year Is Breaking the Rules of Live-Service Games  Since it launched in February, Helldivers 2 has become one of 2024’s most fascinating games. While it may look like a typical sci-fi shooter on the surface, its Starship Troopers-inspired satire drew new players in and its captivating take on live-service storytelling has kept them there. Now, after months of fighting, players have completely exterminated one enemy faction and contained the other. With total victory complete, Helldivers 2 may be in for its most exciting twist yet. Players are terrified.Rather than a persistent story, Helldivers 2 has a constantly evolving campaign that currently revolves around two enemies — the insectoid Terminids and the robotic Automatons. This weekend, players eliminated the feared Automatons while the Terminids’ spread was halted, which Helldivers 2 developer Arrowhead Game Studios celebrated with a social media post. Players are still free to do battle against the surviving Terminids, but as far as the game’s story is concerned, danger has passed. Of course, this is an ongoing shooter, so it can’t stay that way forever.

The company is seemingly targeting a very specific intersection of retro handheld gamers who are also invested in cryptocurrency. Good luck!

S30Amazon's Grocery Dystopia Is Over -- And That's a Good Thing  There’s far less to “disrupt” in the grocery shopping experience than tech companies originally assumed. Amazon’s acquisition of Whole Foods in 2017 seemed like a warning.Amazon revolutionized online shopping and with Whole Foods, one of the most well-regarded chains in the U.S., it was going to reimagine shopping at supermarkets using technology — a camera-tracking wizardry system called Just Walk Out — that would let shoppers walk into a store and then walk out with products, all without having to pay at a cashier.

S31The Bloodiest Action Thriller of 2024 Could Launch an Epic New Franchise  Monkey Man is not “the next John Wick” — at least, not in terms of subject matter. But the former, from writer/director/producer/star Dev Patel, shares some connective tissue with Keanu Reeves’ neon-drenched revenge saga. Both were inspired by the work of Gareth Evans (The Raid) and Bruce Lee, among others. Both were warmly received by audiences craving a return to the ultraviolent stylings of the genre. And just as John Wick went on to sire an unlikely franchise, it’s possible that Monkey Man will follow a similar trajectory. Patel wanted to bring “a little bit of culture” to the traditional revenge fable, infusing it with Indian folklore and politics to update an older story. He’s also aware of the mounting expectations for a potential sequel — but he might not be ready to return to the ring just yet.

S32The Best Platformer of 2024 Mixes Tony Hawk Pro Skater and the French Revolution  Thinking of a yo-yo likely conjures a picture of the ‘90s, a time when seemingly every fifth-grader alive became obsessed with learning tricks to impress their friends. While it’s easy to associate the stringed toy with that era, the historic gadget also had its place among 18th-century French aristocrats (Napoleon used one, too). It was this drastically different inspiration that influenced the development of Penny's Big Breakaway, the most inventive platformer of the year.For years, even before the studio’s founding in 2018, the team at Evening Star Studio toyed with the idea of using a yo-yo in a video game. This seed of an idea popped up once again as the team was putting together ideas for its next game following their smash-hit Sonic Mania.

S33Inside the Outlandish Space Project to Construct a Telescope on the Far Side of the Moon  Space agencies around the world are focused on the south pole of the Moon, but these astronomers have set their eyes on the far side. The Moon race (part deux) is officially in full swing now with Japan, India, China, and even a private corporation making their marks on the surface. The calendar is packed with a whole slew of planned missions in the coming months and years to set the stage for a more sustained presence on the lunar surface. But some astronomers want to use the Moon for something perhaps less expendable than water ice — sorry, fans of For All Mankind — or a cosmic home base: a vantage point to peer into Cosmic Dark Ages.

S3425 Years Ago, a Blatant 'Pulp Fiction' Ripoff Became a Secretly Great Crime Thriller  Pulp Fiction changed movies forever. Its script balanced three stories told out of chronological order, and it pushed the boundaries of filmmaking as its plots careened off each other. The Boondock Saints, The Usual Suspects, and Get Shorty were just a few of many movies to capitalize on Tarantinomania with rollicking urban quests fueled by drugs and profanity. But in 1999, one particular movie found success by aping the three-part structure Pulp Fiction had rapidly made familiar. The result may have been derivative, but it launched multiple careers and highlighted the strengths of a creative director who’s still putting out strong work today.Set around Christmas despite its April release, Go begins with young supermarket cashier Ronna (Sarah Polley) roping her mousy best friend (Katie Holmes) into a harebrained scheme to sell fake drugs at a rave. Then it switches to the perspective of Sarah’s coworker, Simon (Desmond Askew), who’s on a Vegas adventure with friends, before finally showing us soap opera stars Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr) as they attend a dinner party that quickly gets out of hand.

S3619 Years Later, Star Wars is Fixing George Lucas' Biggest Mistake  The Wookiees are one of the most iconic Star Wars species, but also one of the most misunderstood — and not just because they speak Shyriiwook. The tall, hirsute creatures are more than just beastly comic relief: Star Wars lore tells us they’re actually thoughtful, intelligent creatures, even if that’s not how they come across. That’s set to change in The Acolyte, which will feature Kelnacca, the first Wookiee Jedi to be seen in live-action... which goes against a decree made by George Lucas himself.

S372024's Creepiest Monster Movie Falls Short Of Its Brilliantly Terrifying Premise  Common fears are all over horror movies. Afraid of clowns? There’s now a whole franchise about that. Afraid of the ocean? It’s easy to see why after Jaws. The fear of heights has been covered over and over again, from Vertigo to Fall. Nowadays, the more niche fears are getting exploited, like dolls in Annabelle and even swimming pools in Night Swim. But sometimes it’s worth going back to the old standards. That’s exactly what writer/director Kiah Roache-Turner attempts to do with Sting, a classic arachnophobia creature feature that boasts cool body horror, but ultimately doesn’t make up for an identity crisis.

S38America fell for guns recently, and for reasons you will not guess | Aeon Essays  is a PhD candidate in sociology at Princeton University in New Jersey, and a research affiliate at the University of Chicago Crime Lab and at Princeton’s Violence and Inequality Project. Her research aims to make sense of gun availability and social policy through ethnography and mixed methods.In 1970, amid a national confrontation with the United States’ gun culture following the assassinations of Robert F Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr, the historian Richard Hofstadter struggled to make sense of how the country had become the ‘only industrial nation in which the possession of rifles, shotguns, and handguns is lawfully prevalent among large numbers of its population.’ Writing for the magazine American Heritage, he expressed grave concern for a country ‘afloat with weapons – perhaps as many as 50 million of them – in civilian hands.’ If the US was afloat then, it’s flooded now.

S39Why Sikhs celebrate the festival of Baisakhi  On the festival of Baisakhi, celebrated usually on April 13, Sikhs the world over will joyously wear yellow saffron colors, symbolizing spring harvest and the solar new year, when the Sun enters the constellation Aries. In gurdwaras, or Sikh temples, they will sing hymns in congregational singing, or “kirtan,” and eat communal meals, or “langar.” They will also recall some of the tenets of their faith that revolve around “seva,” or serving fellow human beings and seeking to build a just society while living a simple life.

S40S41S42The Art of Climbing: a brief history of photographing rock-climbing  For nearly two centuries, rock-climbing and photography have been tightly intertwined, spectacularly roped together on knife-edge arêtes, vertiginous overhangs and seemingly sheer cliff faces. Simon Carter’s stunning forthcoming collection of photographs, The Art of Climbing (2024), illustrates the heights reached by this mutually supportive partnership. They beautifully capture breathtaking feats of strength and agility made possible by some of the world’s most extraordinary geological formations.

S43S44Ukraine war: why many Nato countries are thinking of introducing conscription and the issues that involves  “Your country needs you!” The 1914 poster of Lord Kitchener pointing an accusatory finger at those reluctant to volunteer to fight for the British Army in the first world war is one both copied and parodied even to this day. But calling for volunteers then was not enough. While hundreds of thousands of British men did, indeed, volunteer to serve in the first flush of jingoistic patriotism in 1914, the manpower well soon began to run dry. Conscription was needed. Men had to be forced to serve. But it took until 1916 before the British government finally took the decision to introduce conscription (or compulsory enlistment) – it knew how politically unpopular it would be.

S48S49Pet flea and tick treatments contain pesticides that end up washing into the environment - here's how  Spot-on parasiticides are liquids applied to the back of the pet’s neck. They spread over the skin of the animal making it toxic to fleas (and sometimes ticks) for at least one month. They’re often sold as part of a pet healthcare plan, whereby pet owners make a monthly payment for a package of year-round treatments. Around [86% of dogs and 91% of cats] are treated for fleas at least once a year, whether fleas are present or not. The most common active ingredients in these treatments are called imidacloprid (an insecticide linked to bee declines) and fipronil, another potent insecticide that can harm the nervous systems of animals and humans.

S50Single mothers in particular would benefit from more subsidized housing in Canada  Like many countries, Canada is currently facing a housing affordability crisis. Housing prices have increased at double the rate of income growth over the past two decades. Between 2021 and 2024, rental prices also increased by 10 per cent each year. Because of the rapid rise in housing prices and rentals costs, 22 per cent of Canadian families live in unaffordable housing, spending at least 30 per cent of their pre-tax household income on housing.
