El Niño and Saharan Dust Silence Atlantic Hurricane Season

El Niño and Saharan Dust Silence Atlantic Hurricane Season

It’s the middle of Atlantic hurricane season, but you’d be forgiven for forgetting that it’s even happening. The basin has only seen three named storms since the start of hurricane season in June, a trio of weak and largely disheveled tropical storms. One or two additional tropical storms are possible through the middle of August as the season struggles against a bevy of unfavorable conditions. They include this year’s El Niño, which is on its way to making history as sea surface temperatures soar to unprecedented heights across a critical swath of the Pacific Ocean, as well as persistent puffs of dry, dusty air that are blowing off the coast of Africa. Together, these distant forces are working to stifle any opportunity for tropical storms to develop across the Atlantic basin. Forecasters now expect one of the quietest hurricane seasons in years, with fewer than 10 named storms likely to sneak through the unfavorable conditions. Experts have been stunned by how fast El Niño has intensified this summer. This pattern of warmer-than-normal waters around the …

New Silence of the Lambs adaptation changes the film’s biggest flaw

New Silence of the Lambs adaptation changes the film’s biggest flaw

After 35 years The Silence of the Lambs remains one of the most recognisable, and most quotable, thrillers of all time. Whether you’ve seen the film, watched a Simpsons parody or heard a rogue rendition of “Quid pro quo, Clarice,” you’ll have seen the mark Hannibal Lecter and Clarice Starling have left on pop culture history. Yet, while the film forever sits in every top horror, thriller and Hollywood ranking, it is often pulled into conversations of LGBTQIA+ representation, particularly in its depictions of gender. Buffalo Bill, AKA Jame Gumb, the main antagonist of The Silence of the Lambs, has become the face of the ‘crossdressing serial killer’ trope. In the film, Hannibal Lecter asserts that the murderer is “not really transsexual”, but the storyline of creating a dead woman suit has marred on-screen representation of the transgender community, with even Gumb’s actor Ted Levine calling it “f**king wrong” in The Hollywood Reporter this year. With that in mind, the creators of the new Silence of the Lambs stage play had a decision on their …

Andy Burnham breaks silence on potential barbecue ban following COBR | Politics | News

Andy Burnham breaks silence on potential barbecue ban following COBR | Politics | News

Most major UK supermarkets have suspended sales of disposable barbecues in recent weeks in line with voluntary guidance from the NFCC. Mr Burnham urged all shops to stop selling them and indicated that an outright ban could be considered in future summers. He said: “The big risk in terms of risk to the wider regions across the country is the risk of wildfires. What we are seeing is multiple serious incidents across the country. “Fire services, by and large, are supporting each other through mutual aid to deal with those incidents but we are keeping a very close watching brief on them. “There is advice to the public here not to use disposable barbecues. We have today confirmed through the National Fire Chiefs Council that the framework restricting the retail sale of those disposable barbecues is being extended. “Now I would ask all retailers big and small to adhere to that framework. “Longer term we will look at whether a temporary ban in the summer months is justified.” The Prime Minister said there had been …
