...lost love. The clubbers and sidemen swing along as Kingston sings: “Why’d you have to go-oh?” Scenes flash between a club stage and the streets where Kingston entertains not just one, but fifteen girls dressed in the same modest outfit. A splitscreen view reveals several Kingstons simultaneously macking, and he walks arm-in-arm with his ever-changing girlfriends around town. The multiple panels reinforce how much happiness Kingston derives from each of his girlfriends, but also leaves the viewer weirded out by his identically-clad dates...

But the risk is there, and Achuthan guesses it will worsen if loan markets fail to calm down. If a month from...
...same heavy, energy-sapping suits - and that is what Dava Newman, professor of aeronautics, astronautics and engineering systems at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wants to change. Newman and her team of researchers have just unveiled a promising new prototype called the BioSuit: a sleek, white, clingy outfit, whose revolutionary design has the potential to make astronauts feel as agile and au courant as Spider...
