The coronavirus outbreak in China hit a grim milestone on Monday: killing over 100 people in a single 24-hour period. More than 1,000 people have now died from the virus, and at least 42,638 people have been infected — surpassing the 774 deaths and 8,098 infections from China's SARS outbreak in 2003.

Occupying a substantial chunk of South America's central western landmass, Peru is a treasure trove of both landscapes and natural resources. Within its three regions--coastal, mountain, and rain forest--there is little variation in summer and winter temperatures and, except for its high mountain areas, its climate stays between tropical and subtropical.

A handy accessory for those looking to control their WiZ smart lights without first firing up an app or asking Alexa or Google Assistant, the Wi-Fi WiZmote is an affordable, no-frills remote that lets you control all the WiZ lights in a single room. The lightweight, durable remote has an impressive wireless range and battery life, but there isn’t an easy way to mount it on a wall, nor will it (yet) allow you to control lighting scenes.

Key point: The use of depleted uranium as a penetrator has resulted in superior armament for U.S. tankers crossing the battlefield.
A tank is a fast-moving, well-protected, heavily armed behemoth designed to dominate the land battlefield. As the primary offensive weapon in any army, nations compete to field the best tanks in both peace and war. In the 1980s, the U.S. Army took the drastic step of arming its tank... Читать дальше...
For all the talk of cord-cutting and the rise of the digital campaign, cable television remains central to politics. Donald Trump rode billions of dollars in free media to the White House in 2016. Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer are running a political science experiment of sorts, blanketing the country with TV spots—and seeing their poll numbers rise accordingly. (Polling at 3 percent when he first entered the race, Bloomberg has since shot up to 15 percent—at a cost of about $30 million per... Читать дальше...
On a remote island in eighteenth-century France, a woman is about to be married off to a rich Milanese stranger.

In fact, he sets all the terms of their relationship; the age gap benefits him. While there’s plenty of desire, it’s tinged with condescension (even spite),... Читать дальше...
