Korean luxury automaker Genesis added a third model to its now trilogy of X Concept design study vehicles this evening with the debut of the X Convertible concept on the eve of the 2022 LA Auto Show.

The X Convertible shares its EV architecture and powertrain — as well as much of its aesthetics and design — with the previously revealed X Concept and X Speedium Coupe concepts. The electric four-seater continues Genesis’ exploration of Korean-inspired EV design in a drop-top configuration infused with a California vibe. That’s the state with both the highest electric vehicle adoption and the most convertible-friendly weather year-round.

Like the X Speedium, the X Convertible’s parallel, wraparound light signature evolves and stretches to form the frame of the automaker’s shield-shaped Crest Grille. The elongated body features subtle curves and an arching belt line that finishes with a slight downward slope towards the X Convertible’s rear. Out back, a subtle ducktail spoiler blends into the decklid and integrates a notched high-center brake lamp just above the double tail lights.

Large G-Matrix pattern wheels fill the bulging arches with a concave aero dish rim section designed to extract heat from the EV’s big six-piston brakes.

The X Convertible has four seats, but the most important bucket is the one behind the steering wheel. The cockpit-style dashboard flows into a wraparound center console with an integrated touchscreen display that hugs the driver’s seat. Up front is a digital instrument cluster.

If you’re a novice to fitness, you might have heard conflicting messages about what you should or shouldn’t do. This makes it harder to stick to a workout routine if you’re confused about where to even begin. Or maybe you dread the idea of ​​exercising because you don’t know which workouts are worth doing. It’s helpful to have a helping hand in situations like this, especially if you’ve never done the different types of exercises the fitness world has to offer. The best part is many of these can be done at home or the gym and require minimal equipment.

We consulted with experts and narrowed down the top exercises you should be doing if you’re brand new to exercising and want to get a workout routine going. Follow these tips to get the most out of your workout.

What to know before you start

One common mistake many people make upon starting a new workout routine or regimen is doing too much, too soon. Director of education for fitness program and equipment hub, Living.Fit, Aaron Guyett says it’s best to start slower, lighter and do less than you think because too much at once can lead to burnoutwhich is why people often quit when things feel too hard.

“Think about being able to perform exercises each day and the exponential growth and performance that comes from consistency over intensity,” Guyett explains. He suggests adding intensity gradually each week until you find your sweet spot.

Nowadays, seeing a show with the hype line “from the creators of Westworld” isn’t necessarily a call for excitement. The amount of homework required to follow Westworld in its convoluted latter seasons is plain silly. The good news: If you’re still doing that homework, you can drop it now. Your time for studying complicated sci-fi narratives is better spent on The Peripheral.

The main reason for this: The new series from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy is a lot easier to follow. That’s not to say it isn’t a challenging mind-bender. The general outline: Two worlds are connected through advanced technology, which is exploited by different factions for good and evil.

Helpfully, the events of The Peripheral unfold through the eyes of a young, blond, female protagonist — not unlike Westworld’s Alice in Wonderland figure Dolores. Except Flynne Fisher isn’t a murderous sentient robot. She comes from the pages of The Peripheral’s source material: a 2014 novel by influential cyberpunk writer William Gibson. If you haven’t heard of Gibson, this is how influential he is: he originated the term cyberspace.

Chloe Grace Moretz might be the perfect choice to play the kind Flynne. Moretz is from Georgia, so her lilting southern accent is what a Southern accent is supposed to sound like. Flynne and her ex-soldier brother Burton — Midsommar’s Jack Reynor, whose accent also sounds realistic, though he’s not from Georgia — live somewhere in rural America about 10

A “blood moon” total lunar eclipse will be visible in the US on Election Day this Tuesday. It’s difficult to tell at this point whether that’s a foreboding omen or a sign of providence.

Skywatchers in parts of Europe and Asia got to see a partial solar eclipse last month, but that was just the first half of “eclipse season,” which concludes with the Nov. 8 eclipse that will be visible from North America.

The four seasons, as you likely know, have to do with the tilt of the Earth on its axis and the Northern and Southern Hemispheres’ orientation toward the sun. But eclipse seasons have to do with where the moon lines up between Earth and the sun.

Every 173 days, for a little over a month, our big natural satellite passes through the ecliptic, or the path the sun takes through our daytime sky.

“The moon doesn’t orbit in the exact same plane as the sun and Earth do,” NASA explains on its solar system blog. “The time when they are aligned is known as eclipse season, which happens twice a year.”

During an eclipse season, the moon is basically buzzing around between us and the sun, upping the chances it will pass between our planet and the neighborhood star for a solar eclipse or that the Earth will block out the moon for a lunar eclipse. Eclipse seasons typically generate two or three eclipses in less than a 37-day span.
