Accessorize With Headband

Headbands were big in the 90s and they are making a comeback. Here are five headbands that’ll elevate your game. 1

For Keeps Wideband

The wide, stretchy headband you use while washing your face just got a chic upgrade.
Pair it with a sleek bun or a pushed back style to show off the statement making headband. We love the lavender but it comes in a variety of colors, including red, black, and olive.

Scallop Headband

Scallops add an unexpected touch to the otherwise classic tortoise shell headband. Tiny combs on the inside of it help keep hair in place for a flawless ‘do.

Thick Velvet Alice Bands

You’re going to have to think back to your youth for this one...The padded headband is making a comeback (yes, you heard that correctly). Velvet gives the headband a bit elegance while the padded element brings us back to the '90s.

Knotted Chiffon Headband

Update your look with a knotted headband that only appears to be complicated. It’s classic, sophisticated and easy. We love the sapphire hue but it can be found in an array of colors.

Metal Wave Headbands

These slim metal headbands are designed in a unique wavy pattern but they manage to be understated enough that they don’t feel like an outrageous statement piece.

The Lantern of the Photuris Firefly

THE lantern, or light organ, of a particular Photuris firefly is covered with jagged scales that dramatically enhance the brightness of the light that the insect produces. * Jagged scales Consider: Researchers have found that tiny scales on the lantern surface of some fireflies form a corrugated pattern, somewhat like overlapping shingles or tiles. The scales tilt up at one end by just 3 micrometers —less than one twentieth the thickness of a human hair. Yet this tiny tilt lets the lantern shine almost 50 percent more brightly than it would if the scales formed an even surface!

An Overview of Indonesia

Land Straddling the equator between Australia and continental Asia, Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago. Most of its more than 17,500 islands feature rugged mountains and dense tropical forests. With more than 100 active volcanoes, it is also the most active volcanic region on earth.

PORTRAITS FROM THE PASTIgnaz Semmelweis

IGNAZ SEMMELWEIS may not be a household name, yet his work has benefited most modern families. Born in Buda (now Budapest), Hungary, he received his medical degree at the University of Vienna in 1844. On taking up his post as assistant to a professor at the First Maternity Clinic of Vienna’s General Hospital in 1846, Semmelweis faced an appalling reality —more than 13 percent of the women giving birth there died from a disease called childbed fever. Various theories as to the cause of this disease had been proposed, yet no one had solved the mystery. All attempts to reduce the mortality rate proved futile. Troubled by the spectacle of numerous mothers suffering a slow, agonizing death, Semmelweis determined to find the cause of the disease and prevent it.
