The energy released by tens of thousands of fans jumping up and down simultaneously was captured by seismic monitoring instruments, which are sensitive enough to detect anthropogenic vibrations (movements generated by human activity).

Ever since she blew up in the Eighties, pop’s queen of queens has devoted her career to proving how complex, how dramatic, how ecstatic a dance floor can be. On Confessions II, Madonna returns to the floor, the place where she always goes to rediscover herself. It’s a sequel to one…

As they have previously done in Mexico and in countries around the world, Mexican rescuers known as topos (moles) are currently searching for survivors and victims of a natural disaster — twin powerful earthquakes in Venezuela, in this case. One group of topos — so named because of their ability to crawl and tunnel through rubble like moles — that is assisting the search and rescue efforts in Venezuela is the Topos Azteca International Brigade (Brigada Internacional de Rescate Topos Azteca), or Topos Azteca for short. The rescuers squeeze into small spaces between the rubble of collapsed buildings to find…

She took custody of Parker’s daughter, testified in court, took jail calls from her daughter and offered blunt assessments of the crimes that landed Parker on Texas death row. Her role has come back into the spotlight after Netflix released the documentary Maternal Instinct…
