...SHOES English shoemaker Barker Black is trotting Stateside. Its premiere is an ode to old British lancers, bearing the regiment's skull-and-crossbones logo. Bottega Veneta uses leather as canvas this season, perforating cotton-lined featherweight capretto lace-ups. Inspired by Andy Warhol's loafers, Paris bootmaker Berluti has patched and darned its new line...
...ensure they're getting samples from pure dingoes, the Monash team will use a genetic test developed by University of New South Wales geneticist Alan Wilton. Following on from earlier skull morphology work by other researchers, Wilton's test has been ringing alarm bells about the extent of hybridization, confirming a collapse in pure dingo numbers throughout much of south-eastern Australia. And there's plenty more work to be done: one of the problems hindering efforts to manage dingoes is the lack of data on their numbers or the national spread of hybridization, particularly across vast stretches...
...Research showed that hydrating too much over the long haul--during a marathon, say, or a long-distance bike ride--dilutes the blood's salt content and can lead to hyponatremia. The body's cells, including brain cells, absorb the excess fluid and swell, and growing pressure in the skull can cause permanent damage or death. Hyponatremia is surprisingly common; in a study of 488 runners of the 2002 Boston Marathon, 13% were over-hydrated. Many of the symptoms of hyponatremia--nausea, dizziness, confusion, lethargy--mimic those of dehydration. The authors of the Boston study offered a handy...
PETER JACKSON'S KING KONG That's one handsome monkey. Jackson, director of the new movie, was heavily involved with this taut, visceral tie-in, which has players creeping through the dino-infested jungles of Skull Island like the puny humans they are. And if you get bored with being small, you can, yes, play as the big guy himself...
...understand nothing of current programming, because I will have deemed it unworthy and instead they will be enriched by what I deem the real classics. But if sales are still going strong, maybe I will buy them that Care Bear stuffed animal—even if its somewhat giant skull unnerves me—because they sure-as-heck won’t be watching that CGI-ed “Care Bears” movie. Yet the exploitation of nostalgia will continue to kill me inside. Those moments our generation waited so long to relive were falsely returned...
