In a time when hip-hop dominates the Hot 100 chart, it’s rare to see a sweet and innocent pop-rock love song shine. But Lauv crafted a charming ditty that resonated with more than just fans of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before thanks to a bouncy, instantly recognizable riff, the singer’s bright croon and swoon-worthy compliments like “I like me better when I’m with you.” The song helped Lauv snag the No. 1 spot on the Emerging Artists Chart and crack the top 40 of the Year-End Hot 100 chart, but perhaps more importantly, it also proved that chivalry isn’t totally dead in 2018. – TAYLOR WEATHERBY

"CBS This Morning" co-host Norah O’Donnell is recovering from the emergency procedure she had over the weekend

Pace was advising its paratransit customers to postpone travel because of the snowstorm. The agency’s was beefing up its crew of operators and maintenance to work through the weekend, said Maggie Daly Skogsbakken, spokeswoman for Pace. The suburban agency’s fleet of plows will also be working to clear up its transportation centers, she said.

There’s another reason why the National Climate Assessment emphasized adaptation as much as mitigation of greenhouse gases: Even if we were to magically slash emissions to zero overnight, wildfire and other climate change impacts would not quickly cease. In fact, the climate would continue to change for quite some time.

In 2006, long before Kim Kardashian broke the Internet, this Chicago band went viral with what is otherwise known as “the treadmill video,” a self-choreographed DIY affair – with the help of lead singer Damian Kulash’s sister Trish Sie, who was working as a ballroom dancer at the time. The clip features the band executing a series of (mostly) precision dance moves on six moving treadmills, and if you’ve ever fallen off one of those things, the video is as thrilling as it is entertaining, helping it rack up a reported 900,000 views in a single day. It wasn’t the first ambitious video the group had recorded – see 2002′s “C-C-C-Cinnamon Lips” – nor would it be the last, as the band would only scale up with subsequent visuals, most recently culminating in 2016′s “Upside Down & Inside Out,” shot in a plane that simulated zero gravity. How they’ll top that one remains to be seen, but we’ll probably find out soon enough. – F.D.

Wet blasting involves high-velocity compressed air propulsion of a slurry towards a surface. The slurry consists of fine abrasive mixed in chemically treated water, and is continuously agitated to prevent the abrasive from settling. As most wet abrasive blasters mix water with the abrasive, this causes the surface cleaning rate to be lower than that of dry abrasive blasting. To rectify this issue, a retrofit device has been developed to fit over the end of conventional abrasive blast nozzles.

I will start by saying I like the episode. That being said, I know the religion vs science debate will continue on here. I have wrote this twice trying to get my thoughts out knowing it can be a hot topic.

You might need a fair few friends to justify picking up Werewolves Within together these days, but the experience is one of the few online games that really thinks about what makes VR unique. It’s a party game in which one of the players is a werewolf and must disguise this fact for as long as possible. It’s a VR game that uses your body and voice; your very language can either provide the perfect bluff or be a complete giveaway. It’s a shame we haven’t seen any games try and build upon this tantalizing concept since.

I’m curious what Trek you like because IMO this episode as a stand alone was better than anything I ever saw on any iteration other than TNG

The CIL plant upgrade is complete, and the mill is now able to process Hollister ore. We have exceeded our annual development target of 35 feet per day in January, as shown on slide 16, and the goal will be to maintain this level and increase it where possible, because this should open up additional headings and increase production.

Philly rapper Tierra Whack’s 15-track, 15-minute debut is the perfect example of what a full-length visual can, and more importantly should, do for an audio body of work. She delivered a multi-part video so striking it demands attention be paid to the music, and vice versa. Each colorful and often jarring clip — one (literal) minute she’s getting a manicure with a brutally busted face, and the next she’s kicking back in a pet cemetery —  shows the ingenuity of an artist unfamiliar with boundaries. Let’s hope she never finds them. – LYNDSEY HAVENS

Yep. You would think I stopped reading circa 2012 if you looked at my bookshelf. I HATE clutter and dust, and ebooks solve both; plus, I can search my notes on books if I want to source something I read a few years ago.
