Paul McCartney hadn’t taken the stage in over five years when he sat down at his piano to sing “Let It Be” for Live Aid on July 13, 1985, in a performance that was almost totally derailed by a single tech glitch.
There the music legend was – performing live for the first time since his post-Beatles band Wings had broken up, and his lifelong friend and Beatles bandmate John Lennon had been assassinated – to sing “Let It Be,” one of the last songs the Fab Four ever released… and minutes into the performance, McCartney’s microphone died. –read more–
(CNN) — In June, dozens of biodegradable pods fell from the sky over the forests of Hawaii. Each one, delivered by drone, contained about 1,000 mosquitoes.
These weren’t just any mosquitoes — they were non-biting, lab-reared male mosquitoes carrying a common bacteriumthat results in eggs that don’t hatch when the males mate with wild females. The hope is that they will help to control the archipelago’s invasive mosquito population, which is decimating native bird populations, such as rare Hawaiian honeycreepers. –read more–

Petaluma, California (CNN) — Petaluma’s farm-to-table trend dates all the way back to the California Gold Rush of the mid-1800s. Between lush farmland and a river for transport, the town found itself in a prime position to provide eggs, dairy, meat and veggies to mining towns in the region and down to booming San Francisco, less than 40 miles south.
You can still see faded chicken “Hatchery” business names painted on old brick buildings in what was once locally touted as “the world’s egg basket.” There’s an enthusiastic hometown gathering for the annual Butter & Egg Days Parade and Festival, and at the Petaluma Historical Library and Museum you can get up close to an egg cleaning machine and see an old photo of the town’s former chicken pharmacy (‘cause fowl sometimes feel foul).
The town’s culinary tradition continues today with everything from buffalo milk ice cream and sourdough bagels to Swedish cuisine and famous craft beer. But there are other draws to Petaluma, including shopping among buildings from the 1800s, hip bars, live music and loads of nostalgia. –read more–
(CNN) — “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone brought their show back with a vengeance on Wednesday, in an episode that took swings at both the parent company of the network that airs their popular animated series and President Donald Trump.
“I didn’t want to come back and be in the school, but I had to because it was part of a lawsuit and the agreement with Paramount,” the Jesus character says, referencing Comedy Central’s parent company and litigation around its pending sale. –read more–

Nowadays, it seems that all the creams and serums on the shelves are anti-aging products. So, how do you know where to begin? We spoke to five dermatologists to find out what anti-aging skin care actually works and what powerhouse ingredients to look for.
As we get older, our bodies undergo tons of tiny changes that keep us moving. Because the skin is the body’s largest organ, many of these changes stare back at us in the mirror. “Many changes occur within the skin over the years that outwardly are manifested as aging,” says Dr. Carlos Charles, a board-certified dermatologist and co-founder of 4.5.6. Skin.
Some of them are healthy and completely natural, like smile lines or crow’s-feet, though Charles says that sun exposure, pollution and blue light from screen time are the most common external factors that contribute to accelerated aging. “These will gradually cause textural skin changes, hyperpigmentation and even collagen loss, which results in fine lines and wrinkles. [Plus], as we age, the skin cells tend to regenerate more slowly, leading to a duller complexion.” In other words, our skin’s ability to retain moisture, produce collagen and repair itself quickly decreases dramatically over time. –read more–
