Schwinn Amalgam hybrid electric bike – $1,120.57 (34 percent off) Unsurprisingly, the older Amalgam hybrid offers the deepest discount among Schwinn’s electric bikes.

Ironically, it looks more like a modern bike than Schwinn’s newer models, which are designed to evoke the brand’s classic style....

Do you need simple shared hosting or WordPress hosting? Someone with a small, personal blog probably doesn’t need the same security features as a growing business. To help you in your search, we put together a list of the best web hosting services, including options designed for professional WordPress publications and those on a budget....

And they say the Milky Way has a lot of worlds: At least one for every star, and at least one Earth-like one for every six stars. There’s a ton of exo-news coming from the American Astronomical Society’s winter meeting in Long Beach, Calif., today. Tops on the list is the announcement that Kepler has found 461 new planet candidates. This brings the Kepler catalog to 2,740 potential planets orbiting 2,036 stars, according to NASA, which operates the telescope....

How Do You Make It? That’s the weird thing about Bitcoin—it’s still being created. Every 10 minutes, new Bitcoin enter the system. “Miners” donate spare or dedicated processing power to help validate transactions around the globe. Bitcoin come as rewards for that work. In the early days, you could just do this with a PC. Now the process is complex and requires powerful hardware. How Do You Use It? If you want to own Bitcoin, you have to first get a Bitcoin address (like opening an email account so people can send you email)....

On November 23, 2015, Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket launched 330,000 feet into the air. An unmanned crew capsule separated from the rocket on its way up, completing its own successful landing. Then the rocket grazed the lower reaches of space before returning to Earth and slowly touching down in a blaze of glory. The company attempted a similar landing in April, but hydraulic problems prevented the rocket from achieving its vertical landing....

Fortunately, the flight went according to plan. The New Shepard fired its engines and rose to an altitude of about 66 miles in a matter of minutes, a round capsule detaching from the rocket below along the way. The crew experienced a few minutes of weightlessness as their capsule coasted to a halt and then fell back toward the Earth. After the rocket touched back down on the landing pad, three parachutes erupted from the capsule and hovered above it like gigantic blue and red jellyfish as the vehicle landed in a puff of dust....

Bose SoundControl hardware This isn’t Bose’s first foray into the hearing market. Up until 2020, it sold a $500 device called Hearphones. The Bluetooth sound amplifiers used a semi-rigid collar that sat around the wearer’s neck with earbuds wired to it. The new SoundControl model takes a much more familiar hearing aid-style design with a module that sits behind the ear, which pumps sound into the canal through a hollow tube....

THE SOLUTION A team of nanomaterials scientists led by Paul Sermon, of Brunel University in England, has developed a bullet that captures the DNA of anyone who touches it—and leaves a tracer on the person, too. Scientists dipped a bullet in a formaldehyde-urea resin, creating a microscopic scratchy surface that snags skin cells. When fired in lab tests, the bullet retained 53 percent more analyzable DNA than an untreated one. The team needed a compound that would tag whoever handled a bullet, something both sticky and rare enough to be recognizable....

Made from high-quality Egyptian cotton, this one also features box stitching to ensure an even weight, and you can choose between 15, 20, and 25 pounds. It’s like sleeping in a hug, without having to deal with a person fidgeting next to you. The next best thing to having scientists monitor and track your sleep: this one-time installation sleep tracking pad from the French brand Withings....

In the Pacific Northwest, the Snake River is the mighty Columbia River’s largest tributary, and home to four controversial dams known as the Lower Snake River dams. For decades, environmentalists have been calling for their removal due in large part for the effects on the region’s salmon population. While the dams include ladders and other fish passages, they still have made it difficult for the fish to make it to the Pacific Ocean....

Bloomberg recently reported on research from the Eastern Virginia Medical School which showed that ivermectin, an anti-parasite drug, was fatal to bed bugs (specifically, they used Merck’s brand Stromectol. Merck was not involved in the study). The researchers presented the work at the annual meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, and it is under review for formal publication in a medical journal. For now, here are the basics....

A banana is not just a banana “A Banana,” says Juan Fernando Aguilar, “is not just a banana.” The bearded botanist and I are traipsing through one of the world’s most unusual banana plantations, moving down row after row of towering plants and ducking into the shade of broad leaves in an attempt to avoid the Central American midday heat. In an area about the size of a U.S. shopping mall, Aguilar, 46, is growing more than 300 banana varieties....

If you have a long-haired cat, a powerful filter should be a priority. Regardless, a cat fountain should be easy to clean, as you will have to do so eventually. One more thing to consider is the volume of the water pump, because a loud one can be distracting and detract from the charm of having a cat fountain in your home. Certain cats are picky and will respond more enthusiastically to different fountain styles....

During the drought of 2015, Grant Lipman, a professor of emergency medicine at Stanford University, was running through the Santa Clara mountains in California when he noticed a warning sign for rattlesnakes, which he had never seen before. “Three miles later, I saw a large rattlesnake lying across the path,” he says. “A week later, my fellow saw the same thing, during a trail run in a different area.” He began to consider why there might be more snakebite during a drought....

The Fest-goers I talked to were largely abuzz about one recent and highly controversial innovation. Diageo, the largest spirits company in the world, producer of Johnnie Walker, Bushmills, single malts like Lagavulin and Talisker, and many other beverages, recently announced an innovation that could save the company millions of dollars every year. It’s a simple plan; you’ve probably done something similar in your own kitchen. They plan to wrap the barrels they use to age their whiskies in giant sheets of plastic wrap....

A LST is essentially a cargo ship with a flat hull and a hull mounted door in its bow; the flat hull allows the LST to beach itself on unprepared shallow waters and unimproved shores (like beaches) and disembark infantry and vehicles from its bow, onto land and straight into combat. The Tianmushan, at 119.5 meters long and 16.4 meters wide, balances a significant transport capability while still being able to land on beaches....
