"A Haunting in Venice," adapted from Agatha Christie's "Hallowe'en Party," presents a Halloween murder mystery directed by and starring Kenneth Branagh, delivering his most captivating portrayal of the astute detective Hercule Poirot. It is enhanced by phenomenal set designs and a screenplay by Michael Green that adds layers to this chilling supernatural thriller. The previous installments, "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Death on the Nile," explored revenge and greed, respectively. This delves into the supernatural, prodding at Poirot's beliefs and creating a riveting internal conflict for the protagonist.
The film's opening Dutch angle shot immediately sets an unsettling and disorienting tone for the murder mystery. A decade has passed since the last installment, "Death on the Nile" (set in 1937), and the world has endured the scars of a devastating war. This turmoil surrounds Poirot, haunted by the anguish of another generation decimated by conflict.
We’ve just learned that the office of the prosecutor and the “security service” of Ukraine have published press releases claiming to have put a stop to the activities of the “vicious Russian propagandist Yurii Sheliazhenko.”

It is difficult to find feminist art exhibits, and even more so outside of major coastal cities like Los Angeles or New York. So when I saw that the Ohio State University was putting on an exhibit juxtaposing feminist art from the 1980s with contemporary works, I was looking forward to visiting.
All summer, millions of us have been sweating in record-breaking heatwaves and choking on toxic wildfire smoke. That's why we're joining together in New York City on September 17 a
Witness the extraordinary life of Dr. Lonnie Thompson, an explorer who went where no scientist had gone before and transformed our idea of what's possible. Daring to seek Earth’s history contained in glaciers atop the tallest mountains in the world, we see the front lines of climate change, to recover these priceless historical records before they disappear forever.
The Quelccaya Ice Cap is located 5300-5670 meters above sea level in the southeastern Andes of Peru and is the Earth’s largest tropical glacier. The observed change in surface elevations on QIC is similar to those seen at other glaciers. However, the second-largest mountain range in Peru, the Cordillera Vil-canota (CV), south-east of the Cordillera Blanca, has received much less attention to date. Consequently, little is known about the timescales and equilibrium conditions of the vast majority of tropical Andean glaciers, and how climate variability affects their mass balances. In Peru, most studies have focused on glaciers in the Cordillera Blanca, which represents the largest mountain range in the tropics.
