Try to match the backdrop to your style. For instance, if you’re shooting a casual, feminine outfit, you might use a washed-out barn door as your backdrop. Linens and rugs can also make great backgrounds for a flat lay. If you’ll be doing a lot of flat lay photography, it’s a good idea to use the same or similar backdrops in most of your pictures. That way, they’ll be more easily recognizable when your followers come across them....

Scientists wanted to see if increasing the levels of ketones—a type of fatty acid—in mice could boost the production of a protein called SIRT3. This protein is thought to protect neurons.

The team studied mice with Alzheimer’s disease—including some who had been genetically modified to have lower than normal levels of SIRT3—as well as regular mice who acted as controls....

Metabolic syndrome is characterized by a person having five health problems at once: high blood pressure, abdominal obesity, high levels of triglycerides, low levels of so-called “good cholesterol,” and high blood sugar levels. It is linked with a higher risk of developing heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Most studies on the health effects of consuming dairy have focused on North American and European participants, where diets are “substantially” different to those in other parts of the world, said the authors of a paper published in the journal BMJ Open Diabetes Research & Care....

Strictly Adults-Only video games (the rating above the 17+ Mature) tend to be on the rarer side, but the niche market for the type of content seems to be doing well as of late. Towards the end of March this year, Studio FOW Interactive’s Subverse became one of Steam’s top-selling titles, becoming the second best-selling game for the platform during that period.

Given the rise in popularity of the Steam Deck, which is still several months from coming out, it’s hardly surprising that some scalpers have taken to getting hold of a pre-order with the intention of selling it on for hugely inflated prices. Some of the portable kits, or at least the chance to get hold of one, have been on sale through eBay for thousands of dollars. Despite this, there is still no guarantee that people will be eligible for one in December....

In the world’s oldest continuing democracy the race situation wasn’t the most enlightened either. The Jim Crow laws enacted to maintain racial segregation were in force in most southern states till 1965. This reflected in American sport too; baseball had an unofficial colour line for a substantial period of time which ensured the non-participation of African-American players in the major and minor leagues. In one of the greatest ironies in sport, Jesse Owens, the man celebrated for shattering Hitler’s Aryan pride, was forced to ride the hotel’s freight elevator to attend the party in his honour....

And yet he was able to rattle that group a little Sunday. He violated a cardinal rule: He didn’t appear to try. Nobody likes it when their favorite baseball team lollygags on the field, and in some ways that is what Earnhardt appeared to be doing late in the race at Talladega Superspeedway. He lost track position when he pitted, falling to 13th, and since he wasn’t in the front, he opted for running at the back rather the middle of the pack....
