Scientists are constantly tracking the sun’s behavior over time, since it is the source of space weather that can potentially cause massive disruption. This space weather takes the form of solar flares and coronal mass ejections—essentially eruptions of radiation and particles from the sun—which can interfere with electrical systems on Earth and cause shimmering auroras in the sky. Thanks to developments in technology we can predict when such disruptions might occur....

RELATED: Best Horror Games Where You Are The Monster This often old-school feeling survival horror game blends elements of walking simulators with challenging puzzle gameplay. Using the game’s supernatural camera, players are able to solve puzzles, discover clues and lore, and hopefully, piece together what happened to their family. There is a lot to love about MADiSON but the game also has its flaws and foibles. 7 Love: The Downright Spooky Atmosphere One of the very best parts about MADiSON is the incredibly spooky, tense, and impeccable sense of atmosphere....

it was going, which was under the tree, and all was right with the world. If you don’t believe it, check out the home movies. The little girl looks down from the top of the stairs and her Raggedy Ann eyes are on high beam. “A dollhouse,” she croons. It was all worth it. Was it all worth it? Whatever happened to that dollhouse? Younger cousin? Garage sale? Beats me....

Having a “cool” or a noteworthy nickname builds to the aura of a superstar. Today, we take a look at fifteen of the coolest nicknames in professional wrestling. Monty Brown was one of the hottest stars in TNA over a decade ago. His physique, strength and his agility made him a unique individual, and what made him stand out from the rest of the pack was his finishing maneuver called “The Pounce”....

One year, thousands of fries and tens of thousands of calories later, Spurlock has an award-winning film in the can. Titled, tongue planted firmly in cheek, “Super Size Me,” his documentary was a surprise hit at Sundance last week, winning Spurlock the Best Director prize in the documentary competition and drawing comparisons to the work of “Bowling for Columbine” auteur Michael Moore. With regular visits to the doctor, interviews with experts on fast food and chats with regular folk on the road, the viewer gets a front-row seat as the formerly fit filmmaker eats everything on the menu, packing on the pounds, and looking–and feeling–worse in each successive frame....

If there is one quote that defines the rivalry that shaped the perception of the English Premier League, it’s Roy Keane - eyes narrowed to evil thin slits - pointing an accusing finger at Patrick Vieira and uttering the kind of threat Santino Corleone would have been proud of - “I’ll see you out there”. It’s not the threat that make the words so emblematic of the rivalry, it’s the little half-smile that’s flirting around Patrick Vieira’s face as Keane says it....

Underwater, though, East Timor is a world apart. The reefs are a scuba diver’s dream: luscious depths and an abundance of rare sea life. On an early exploratory dive off Dili in 1995, Mike Severns, a prominent photojournalist, encountered pilot whales, melon-headed whales, sperm whales, pipefish and scorpion fish. “I’ve never dived a more isolated and spectacular place,” wrote Severns in a logbook. The real attraction is the wrecks. During World War II, Australian forces bombed Japanese ships along the coast of the island....

The Bushes have learned some hard lessons about diversity. In 1992 George W watched as Pat Buchanan took a torch to his father’s convention, ranting about the culture wars and driving swing voters into the arms of Bill Clinton. Jeb Bush narrowly lost his first bid for Florida governor in 1994, earning only about 5 percent of the black vote. He worked hard to attract blacks four years later, winning 14 percent–and the election....

More than a burst of conscience is motivating conservative thinkers. As activist Paul Weyrich puts it, the Coalition Against Things that kept their political movement going through the ’70s and ’80s has collapsed along with the Berlin wall. Conservatives need a new message. It’s no longer fashionable to rail against the welfare state without offering solutions. Accountability comes with being the ruling party. “If we are going to run a commercial with a 9-year-old girl in the ghetto saying the Pledge of Allegiance, then we have an obligation to care about the rest of her life,” says Gingrich....

While you may find a plethora of articles on her game, her strengths, reasons for the longevity of her career, her superb aces and what not but I am writing this article as a tribute to the phenomenon called Serena. In a sport as demanding and as competitive as tennis, winning at the age of 36 is no joke. Serena might not have been able to win Wimbledon this year but she has already become the most iconic female player of our time....

In our testing of various microSD cards for the Steam Deck, we found that one of the best is the SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-I card. It’s one of the faster microSD options on the market for the Steam Deck and based on size, is fairly affordable. The SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS-I is available in a lot of different options, from 32GB up to 1TB, which should give Steam Deck owners plenty of extra space games....

A new game based on The Seven Deadly Sins has been revealed by Korean game studio Netmarble, who are also the developers of the aforementioned Grand Cross. Known as The Seven Deadly Sins Origin, it will be a sequel to Netmarble’s mobile title, where instead of it being limited to a turn-based RPG, it will be expanded to a large overworld that players can explore, as well as a new protagonist....

The sexiest governor alive (though you wouldn’t know it looking at him) is John Engler of Michigan, short-listed by the press for the vice presidential nomination after Colin Powell seemed to demur. With the GOP’s Southern base, Dole needs just one big Midwestern state to reduce Bill Clinton’s Electoral College margin for error to zero. Ohio’s popular Gov. George Voinovich is much closer to Dole, but viewed as “moderate” by party regulars–the same kiss of death applied to New Jersey Gov....

Is PAE the heir to Ronaldo? With the Gunners in need of a confidence boost after seeing their hopes of a first Premier League title since 2004 all but extinguished by the recent loss to leaders Chelsea, the Frenchman will no doubt be desperate to mark his European milestone with a positive result. The bad news, though, is that Wenger will be pitting his wits against a coach with a far better Champions League record than his own, Carlo Ancelotti....

RELATED: D’oh! These 5 Episodes of The Simpsons Have NOT Aged Well While the majority of these tertiary characters are incredibly one-dimensional, there are a select few who are teeming with potential and deserve a lot more attention than they have so far been given. As time goes by, however, the chances of them returning to the limelight seem increasingly unlikely. This is made all the more frustrating by the show’s writers continuing to use substandard characters who offer very little to the show in their stead....

Doing homework isn’t a new concept for The Sims, but for the teen Sims you’ll be dealing with in The Sims 4 High School Years, it may be an unexpected requirement that you’ll need to know how to do. Just like in the real world, doing homework is an important part of your Sim’s education. And while it’s entirely optional, if you want the best for your teen Sim, it’s something you should get in the habit of doing....

All over the Arab world, aging rulers are staring hard at their own mortality. In a region where government is distinctly personal, the death of a leader can plunge a country into chaos. For a generation, most Arab nations have enjoyed stable–if not always enlightened–rule under a long-lasting king, president or dictator. But now many of the old leaders are sick, and vast changes are looming. While his father lingered last week, Crown Prince Abdullah, 37, spoke hopefully about a new generation of sophisticated, Western-educated rulers emerging in Arab countries....

When people think of a sci-fi story, they likely picture one of two things; either squadrons of space cruisers and destined interplanetary heroes or hardcore scientific explorations of theoretical tech. Space opera is the subgenre that generated and contained most examples of the former, often in direct opposition to the latter. RELATED: The Cyberpunk Sci-Fi Subgenre Explained Space opera refers to large-scale sci-fi which concerns itself with massive interplanetary battles, dashing heroes, old-fashioned romance, and general classic adventure stories, but in space....
