Hana Kimura’s death revealed the complex truth behind Netflix’s hit Japanese reality TV show.

In many ways, Terrace House, the hit Japanese reality show where 20-something strangers move into a house together (à la The Real World), is a utopian dream of what reality TV could be at its best. Since it began in 2012, the show has foregone the typical traits that drag down the genre there are no media restrictions, contrived twists, interpersonal competitions, regrettable hookups, or $1,000,000 prizes. Instead, the denizens of the titular swanky-but-not-too-swanky house simply share a living space, while remaining able to come and go as they please, continue their usual routines, and exit the house and show altogether whenever they want. To its obsessed international fanbase, the appeal of Terrace House lies in its naturalistic ambiance and how relatable even soothing these normal, u...

By New Scientist and Press Association So far, most pregnant women with covid-19 have had good outcomes Guy Bell/Shutterstock More than half of pregnant women admitted to UK hospitals with coronavirus were from a black, Asian or minority ethnic (BAME) background. This is according to a study that looked at data from pregnant women admitted to 194 obstetric units in the UK who tested positive for a covid-19 infection between 1 March and 14 April.

The findings require “urgent investigation and explanation”, say Marian Knight at the University of Oxford and her colleagues, wh...

In this Special Feature, we look at how people can donate blood safely during the COVID-19 pandemic and explain why donating blood is crucial at this time.

Despite lockdown measures being in place to curb the spread of SARS-CoV-2, it is crucial that people still donate blood. COVID-19’s sudden emergence and rapid spread across the world have fundamentally changed how societies function, requiring radical restrictions on movement. These lockdowns aim to limit the transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus to reduce both the number of people dying after becoming infected and the strain on overloaded intensive care units. However, while staying at home as much as possible is important, it is also crucial that many essential workers can leave their homes safely. These individuals include care workers in hospitals and the community, public service workers, and people working in food industries, as well as anyone else who plays a key role in helping ...

The videos show Floyd appearing to surrender before dying after his face was pressed into the street with an officer’s knee on his neck.

Videos taken by bystanders show the moments leading up to the deadly arrest of George Floyd and appear to undermine Minneapolis polices account that he was uncooperative. Minneapolis cops said that they were responding to reports of a man suspected of forgery on Monday evening, and encountered 46-year-old Floyd, who appeared to be under the influence sitting on top of his car. He was ordered to step from his car, the Minneapolis Police Department said in a statement. After he got out, he physically resisted officers. But newly-surfaced videos do not appear to support that account. The first video, taken by a bystander through his windshield, shows several officers apprehending Floyd. But he doesnt appear to be resisting just standing next to his car. The second video was from su...

Vous avez pris goût aux visioconférences ? Il vous faut sans doute des outils plus performants pour communiquer.

Jusquici, vous avez pu composer avec du matériel de base pour communiquer avec vos proches, vos collègues ou vos clients. Oui mais voilà, si vous êtes amené(e) à multiplier les appels vidéo ou les visioconférences, la caméra frontale de votre smartphone ne suffit pas toujours. Beaucoup nont pas la qualité souhaitée pour assurer un contact visuel parfait. Et le format petit écran ne vous permet pas forcément de partager ou de visionner des documents de façon optimale. En outre, la webcam intégrée sur un ordinateur portable nest pas toujours bien placée. Dès lors, investir dans une webcam externe peut savérer judicieux. Il existe bien entendu des modèles à petit prix qui vous permettront de tenir une bonne liaison vidéo - à condition de les combiner avec un débit internet viable. Nous avons...

At least three have resigned in protest in the past week.

In the past week, hundreds of Facebook employees have shown unprecedented levels of dissent after the company decided to take no action on an incendiarypost from President Trump last week.
