Review: Dystopian sci-fi ‘LX 2048’ has great ideas, James D’Arcy, Delroy Lindo … and muddled results

James D’Arcy (left) stars as Adam in Guy Moshe’s science fiction film “LX 2048,” with Delroy Lindo. Photo: Quiver DistributionAdam Bird is an old-school dude. He refuses to work from home, as his co-workers and apparently the rest of humanity do. He shows up in the office, drinks an awful cup of coffee and sits in an empty conference room arguing with his colleagues as he wears a virtual reality device. To get to the office, he drives on an empty highway. The ozone layer is a thing of the past, which means the sun and bad air are lethal. The sky is like the apocalyptic orange that enveloped the Bay Area recently, and Adam — wearing a hazmat suit — drives through it in a convertible. It is the year 2048, and Adam is your typical modern human: a slave to his job, going through a divorce,...

L.A.’s 2006 Heat Wave Was a Climate Change Warning

On July 16, 2006, a sticky, searing air mass parked itself over Southern California and stayed there for almost two weeks, creating one of the worst heat waves in Los Angeles’s history. For ten days, most parts of L.A. were dangerously hot, including record-high overnight lows, making it physiologically impossible to cool down without a window AC unit trained with laser precision onto your bed. On the evening that Woodland Hills, the hottest pocket of the city, hit 119 degrees, shattering L.A. County’s all-time-high temperature record, I gave up and slept on the floor of my Hollywood apartment, a frozen washcloth molded to my forehead. Last Sunday, that record was broken when the same weather station in Woodland Hills clocked in at 121 degrees. The changed climate was not, as predicted...

For good or ill — more often the latter — rats have followed us wherever we go. Even luxury gated communities are not immune. Rodenticides — chemicals that kill rodents — are a significant tool in the fights against rats. But pest control operators are looking to amend their arsenal with additional weapons on South Carolina’s Kiawah Island, where some of the community’s famous bobcats have tested positive for the chemicals. In an August 20 online training held by Clemson University, pest control professionals representing 85 percent of the properties with pest control service on Ki...

Wabtec has begun trials of the transit rail industry’s first air conditioning system using natural R290 refrigerant, a clean and environmentally friendly option.

Traditional heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems use synthetic refrigera...

How is Utah’s economy recovering? New Salt Lake Chamber tool tracks improvement

SALT LAKE CITY — In the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, government programs that were designed to aid businesses and citizens cast a wide net. While everyone was affected by the virus shutdowns, some felt the impact more than others and were left without the help they needed. The Salt Lake Chamber is hoping to better identify those markets."We're smarter than we were back then, and so we know some of those relief efforts can be more targeted," said Derek Miller, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber and Downtown Alliance. "It gives us as a business community an opportunity to advocate at a local, state and even federal level for those kinds of programs."The Salt Lake Chamber’s Roadmap to Recovery Coalition and Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute announced a new economic tool Monda...

How to assemble a home bar, from carts to pro-level setups

Bars have been largely closed since the arrival of COVID-19. Yet at the same time, alcohol use has been on the rise across the United States. As with so many other human activities, happy hour has been happening at home. That means it’s a good time build a home bar that has both style and substance. Where to Start With so many spirits, glassware options, furniture pieces and mysterious tools out there, it’s easy to feel intimidated by the prospect of a home bar. Remember that the process is supposed to be fun, and know that it’s OK to start small. Pamela Dylag is the co-owner of Velveteen Rabbit, an Arts District bar in Downtown Las Vegas that’s famous for its elaborate cocktails. But at home, Dylag likes to keep her bar simple.
