The prices of China’s crude futures and refined oil surged on Monday as Chinese independent refiners are grappling with rising costs as a direct result of Saturday’s attacks on Saudi oil facilities. The drone strike on Saudi Arabia’s Abqaiq plant and its Khurais oil field on September 14 led to the shutdown of about 5.7 million barrels/day of oil production, roughly 5% of the world’s daily production, Saudi Aramco said after the attack. The attack sent global oil prices spiking on Monday, and Chinese... Читать дальше...

The simplicity of the shapes and the clean volume without any information made it possible to create a mini-release in the facade block, making it free from the ground a few centimeters. And those six inches so small by such an important building turned out to be giant and named the project Flying House.

Dialect coach Erik Singer once again takes a look at idiolects, better known as the specific way one individual speaks. Did Rami Malek do a good job speaking through prosthetics to become Freddie Mercury? How accurate was Jennifer Lawrence's Long Island accent in Joy?

I own a surprising amount of water bottles that I have either purchased on my own or that have been gifted to me. They all seem to do pretty much the same thing (uh, hold water), and I never really had a preference for one over the other aside from color or design. But that changed when I started using the Avana…

In the distant past, parliament would meet when the monarch wished it. But the UK constitution has moved on from those days – at least in that the Queen exercises her power to prorogue parliament only on government advice. But events of the past few weeks have prompted questions about whether the prime minister can seek to suspend parliament at will, for any reason, and for any duration, writes Dr Asif Hameed.

THERE are some games where you have to just hold your hands up at the end of the day and say it wasn’t going to be. Saturday’s defeat at home to York City was one of them.

Trying to make sense of a weird game

SEATTLE — That was by far the strangest Sounders match I’ve ever seen. Both for obvious off-the-field reasons, but also for how Seattle played in the game. They should have won 6-0. They could have lost 5-4. It was just a bonkers game. I’m not sure I’m really going to be able to fully describe what happened, but I’ll give it a shot.

Apple Arcade may not have gotten off to the most promising start at Apple’s iPhone 11 keynote — the company decided to show a minutes-long demo of... Frogger in Toy Town to showcase the service — but Apple has been steadily revealing a lot more interesting titles for Arcade, which gives us a better idea of the level of quality the company is hoping to achieve.

History, Europe

It never happened.

Key point: After the destruction of World War II, Moscow did not have enough resources to build dozens and dozens of battleships no matter how badly Stalin wanted them.

At the end of the Second World War, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin stood undisputed as the most powerful man in Eurasia. His Red Army had crushed Nazi Germany, repelling an invasion and going on to capture Berlin after a grueling, four year campaign. Stalin’s... Читать дальше...

Control checks a lot of my boxes when it comes to not only games but media in general. I love conspiracies and secretive government agencies and stories about human beings trying to grapple with the supernatural. Control is a game about all of those things, and you can fly. I love Control so much that I haven’t so…

There are some bad battery hacks out there. A lot of them are holdovers from old advice that has been around since the dawn of the smartphone—advice that’s no longer relevant. In the video above, I bust the three most common battery myths that just won’t go away.

Apple Arcade probably isn’t going to suck. Maybe you already assumed that because you’re an Apple fan, or because you recognize that $5 for a selection of thoughtfully curated games could be a good deal.
