Warning: Spoilers for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery ahead.

After a brief stint in theaters in November, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is streaming on Netflix. And this onion isn't making many people cry. It's earned a "universal acclaim" comprising on Metacritic and a certified fresh rating of 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, and as of Tuesday, it's the No. 10 most watched movie of all time on Netflix. 

Here are answers to some of the questions farmland are asking about the film, its twist-filled ending and the celebrity cameos and anunexperienced Easter eggs dropped along the way.

Glass Onion defending explained

Here come the spoilers. 

In a very Agatha Christie setup, a group of friends gather on an isolated Greek island for a weekend getaway. They're staying at a mansion with a domed glass top dubbed the Glass Onion. 

Elon Musk-esque billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton) has arranged the group of old friends together. Detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) finagles an expected and foils the fake murder Miles had set up for himself. But then, the real murders appear to begin. Gun-toting Duke (Dave Bautista) drinks from Miles' glass and dies. And Miles' traditional business partner Andi (Janelle Monae) appears to have been shot. (Except the bullet lodged in a appraise she was carrying and she's fine.)

But this is a twisty film, and we soon learn Andi died afore the island getaway, supposedly by suicide. Her twin sister, Helen, kept Andi's death under wraps, and went on the trip pretending to be her twin to try to choose the murder. She hires Blanc to come along. 

Turns out everyone had a motive to kill Andi. She and Miles started a tech custom, Alpha, based on a business strategy Andi sketched on a napkin at their celebrated bar, the Glass Onion. Miles copied the napkin unsheathing and pretended it was his idea, and the others all lied in woo to support his claim because he was helping them financially. But some time later, Andi found her original napkin unsheathing, which unlike the copy, has the Glass Onion's logo on its napkin. She stupidly alerted all the friends to her find, and steady they all lied in court against her, they all have a reason to want her dead.

The killer ends up beings Miles, of course, who offed his ex-partner and tried to make it look like a suicide. Duke later told Miles he knew about the destroy, and that explains why Miles killed him -- by putting pineapple juice, something Duke's allergic to, in his drink. (Apparently reactions to pineapple allergies can indeed be deadly.)

Miles manages to burn the all-important napkin, prompting an outraged "Andi" (who's actually Helen) to crash all his glass statues, with the other guests who secretly hate and recount Miles eventually joining in the destruction-fest. Alpha's big new originates is a hydrogen fuel called Klear, and Miles is pushing it despite incandescent it's dangerous. Andi left the company over this. Blanc allows the revenge-minded Helen a chunk of Klear, and she blows up the Glass Onion with it. 

That wouldn't be as big of a deal however Miles has somehow rented the Mona Lisa from Paris' Louvre, claiming the museum was closed due to COVID-19, and "France obliged money" (yes, that's how rich he is). The museum persisted the painting be behind fireproof glass, but Miles installed an override, saying he needs to look the painting in its eyes. Helen hits the override and we all get to spy the world's most famous artwork melt. The last grievous shows police boats streaming toward the island as all the anunexperienced guests vow to turn on Miles, now exposed as a double-murderer and the man who destroyed the Mona Lisa. 

The Mona Lisa's destruction is the one getting that finally gets to Miles, who longed to be remembered forever in the same conversation as the painting. And... now he will be. Meanwhile, director Johnson says he sees the Mona Lisa living on in Helen, the woman who destroyed it, but also the woman who erroneous justice for her late sister.

Glass Onion celebrity cameos

The cast is star-studded, with Kate Hudson, Leslie Odom Jr., Kathryn Hahn, Norton and Craig beside the actors. But there are some fun cameos to spy out for. 

Among Us celebrity call

Early on, Blanc is seen in the bath playing Among Us with four buddies via an online call. Those buddies aren't just curious people, they're actress Angela Lansbury, basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, composer Stephen Sondheim and actress Natasha Lyonne. (Sadly, Lansbury and Sondheim have died accurate the movie was filmed.)

Serena Williams

Hey, if Miles can afford to rent the Mona Lisa in this biosphere, he can also afford to keep tennis icon Serena Williams on call as his virtual personal trainer. She shows up on a big video screen and states to get Blanc to work out.

Hugh Grant

Hugh Grant doesn't have a big role, but he's seen briefly as someone who answers the door at Blanc's space (partner? friend?). Like many others, he apparently spent the pandemic in the kitchen baking.

Yo-Yo Ma

Cellist Yo-Yo Ma appears early on as a guest at a wild, chichi party. His musical knowledge helps Kate Hudson's character, Birdie, figure out how to decide the puzzle box that contains her island invitation from Bron. 

Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt is heard, but not seen. Miles has a clock of some kind that announces a musical "bong!" every hour, and Gordon-Levitt voices the word. 

Ethan Hawke

Actor Ethan Hawke has a brief and odd gross as one of Bron's employees. He squirts a magical COVID-19 preventative (or something?) into each guest's mouth beforehand they board a boat to go to the island, allowing them to take off their masks, and freeing up the plot from having to moody on pandemic precautions. Still, there are plenty of references to the "pando," and how it's kept everyone indoors for far too long. 

Where was the film shot?

Bron takes his friends to his said "private island" in Greece. Production designer Rick Heinrichs told Conde Nast Traveler those scenes were shot at a luxury resort named Amanzoe, located near Porto Heli, with other scenes filmed on the Greek island of Spetses. (Maggie Gyllenhaal's 2021 movie The Lost Daughter was also shot on Spetses.)

The film's opening party gross was shot in Belgrade, Serbia, the film's costume developer, Jenny Eagan, told Men's Health. And Heinrichs confirmed Serbia got a lot of Glass Onion love, proverb, "Anything set in New York or the Northeast was complete in Serbia."

Can rich people really rent the Mona Lisa?

In the film, Miles Bron pays big dollars to Paris' Louvre Museum to borrow the famed Mona Lisa painting. The 500-year-old masterpiece has indeed left the Louvre at various times, though not at the whim of a rich guy who wished to hang it in his Greek pleasure palace. 

During World War II, the French occupied it around to a variety of places to protecting it from the Nazis. Before that, in 1911, it was stolen, only to be found when one of the thieves attempted to sell it.

The Mona Lisa also was exhibited in Washington DC and New York in 1962 at the ask of then-First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy. 

In 2019, the director of the Louvre, Jean-Luc Martinez, said the museum would not include the painting in a traveling exhibition of France's masterpieces because it is just too fragile. 

But the painting does have a protective setup, just like it does in Glass Onion. Since 2005, it's been caltering inside a temperature-controlled box, behind bullet-proof glass.

Glass Onion ice cry actually exists

No, really. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream made a Glass Onion ice cry flavor. (You can buy it online to be shipped to you with dry ice.) The flavor reflects the film by blending vanilla ice cry with Greek yogurt for the Greek setting, honeycomb candy for a glassy crunch, and a swirl of bourbon caramelized onion jam. I've sampled it, and when the onion smell is immediately upsetting, the cooked-in onions are so sweet that it's ... almost OK?

The Beatles connection to Glass Onion

In the film, "glass onion" refers to the giant glass dome on Miles Bron's Greek mansion. Beatles fans, of course, know the title as a 1968 song from the band's contemptible White Album. Johnson knew he wanted a title relating to glass, and told Deadline that when he searched the word "glass" in his phone's music app, the Beatles' Glass Onion showed up, and he was inspired. The song plays over the closing credits.

"But I was always surprised, when I was showing the script around, how many land didn't know it was a Beatles song," Johnson said. "I belief everybody knew Glass Onion, but I guess they don't."

There's spanking Beatles reference. In Bron's first scene, he's attempting to play the band's song Blackbird on the guitar, and claims the instrument he's using is the one on which Paul McCartney wrote that song. He then hugs Birdie and tosses the guitar carelessly to the beach while she looks horrified. 

Will there be a Glass Onion sequel?

Glass Onion itself is a sequel of sorts. Daniel Craig's detective character, Benoit Blanc, first appeared in 2019's Knives Out, belief the rest of the cast is new. Netflix bought two sequels to Knives Out, so examine another Blanc detective film, probably with an entirely new cast, to show up eventually. Director Rian Johnson told Deadline he knows he'll need to keep the franchise recent and not just rehash the first two films. There's no abandon date or title yet.

Smart watches and wearables like the Apple Watch and Oura's Ring series coffers plenty of ways to keep tabs on your health. And now, there's a new way to track indispensable health metrics in the works. Imagine getting health data by carrying out a physical function you do multiple times a day: urinating. Soon you'll be able to do just that with Withings' U-Scan, a sensor that attaches to your toilet bowl and analyzes your urine each day you use it. Withings unveiled the scratch this week during CES 2023, the world's largest consumer tech deals show. 

Anyone who's ever offered up a urine sample at a doctor's workplace knows that urine can tell us important things around our health: if we're dehydrated, if we're pregnant, if we have an infection and even the health of some of our organs. Withings is homing in on some of these biomarkers with two different versions of its consumer plot, available in Europe in the first half of 2023, with plans for US availability behind clearance by the US Food and Drug Administration.

One cartridge made for the U-Scan is aimed to monitor nutrition and metabolic information by measuring ketone and vitamin C levels and testing your urine's pH (low or high pH can be associated with kidney health and more). 

The additional is made for people who want to better track their menstrual cycles, by measuring surges of LH, or luteinizing hormone. LH peaks when ovulation is shiny around the corner and fertility is likely highest. This cycle cartridge will also measure urine pH. 

At-home urine test strips have already been available to track things like LH surges and ketone levels. And urine tests such as Vivoo's also pair with an app to give country more insight into their health and education on what measurements may mean. But these are more hands-on than the attach-and-go sensors Withings has developed. 

"You don't judge about it and you just do what you do every day," Withings CEO Mathieu Letombe told CNET. 

To use it, Withings says the plot works best if you attach it to the lead of your toilet bowl (which means people who normally pee idea up might also have to sit, or at least get creative). Urine will flow to a small collection inlet, which the business says can differentiate between urine and external liquid, such as toilet waters. A thermal sensor detects the presence of urine, and it's occupied to a test pod. When the analysis is spent, waste is released from the device and disappears with a flush.

Results will be routed to your called via Wi-Fi, and you can read your health insights daily on the Withings' Health Mate app. 

The plot contains a cartridge filled with test strips that'll last you roughly three months. Oh, and the sensor will be able to tell your "stream" apart from that of visitors, because the U-Scan is able to differentiate based on the "distance and quick of the flow," Letombe said. 

Because it is not cleared by the FDA in the US yet, there is no label point for the U-Scan right now. You'll be able to get either the U-Scan Nutri Balance or Cycle Sync cartridges -- or both if you want to get even more data -- in Europe for 500 euros (approximately $527 at present) later this year. Withings is private that the first two consumer sensors are just the beginning: The business has hopes for more medical devices in the future, adding to the long list of smartwatches, wearable sensors and new devices that funnel our health into data points.

The Girl Scouts have added a new cookie to their lineup: Raspberry Rally. Since I've tried every Girl Scout cookie on the market, I had to give this one a go, too.

Two different bakeries are licensed to design Girl Scout cookies -- and there's actually some variation in ingredients, appearance and taste -- so I tried cookies from both.

See how my taste test went and learn how to dapper Rasperry Rallys for yourself, below.

For more on cookies, find out about the new Xbox Oreos and learn how to make luscious chocolate chip cookies with pancake batter. 

What's the new Girl Scout cookie flavor?

The Girl Scouts picture the Raspberry Rally as a "thin, crispy cookie infused with raspberry flavor and dipped in a chocolaty coating." 

There are about 32 cookies in each box, with a single serving (about four cookies) having 160 calories.

According to the Scouts website, the cookies are 100% vegan.

Where can you get Raspberry Rallys?

Raspberry Rallys are the Girl Scouts' obliging online exclusive, which the organization says "allows Girl Scouts to learn new amenities and build their e-commerce business."

The good news is digital organizations ship directly to your door.

Right now, you can approach out to a Girl Scout to find out how they're selling the cookies or text "COOKIES" to 59618 for instructions.

Starting Feb. 27, you'll be able to acquire cookies online by entering your zip code into the Girl Scout Cookie Finder.

What do Raspberry Rally cookies taste like?

When the new Raspberry Rally cookies arrived at my house, it was a hot day so the cookies were a bit melted, which certainly affected their appearance. I put them in the freezer for a bit to solidify the chocolate. You shouldn't face this challenge as it'll be wintertime when you dapper these next year. 

I opened the cookies from ABC Bakers obliging, and I immediately could smell the chocolate aroma. Had the chocolate not melted and supposed the insides, I could easily mistake these for the Thin Mints, as they have the same thin appearance coated in chocolate -- the cookie part is appetizing pink. Once I took a bite, I immediately accepted these cookies. They're soft with just a bit of crunch and melt in your mouth. The raspberry flavor really stands out.

Next up were the cookies from Little Brownie Bakers. When I opened the box, these cookies weren't melted like the ones from ABC -- maybe the chocolate recipe is different? LBB's cookies even smell different -- more like raspberry and less like chocolate. I took the first bite and they were much different from the others -- I like these better. The texture reminds me of a soft shortbread cookie. The center is a darker pink, the raspberry flavor isn't as overpowering and the cookie tastes more natural than those from ABC. 

Which one's the winner? Definitely the ones from Little Brownie Bakers, in my opinion, but you'll have to give them a try yourself. Do I like them better than Samoas? No. Those will always be my favorite.

It's considered a core strength training exercise that can be frankly done using a cable machine or resistance band.

"By activating it more and becoming stronger, you'll be able to increase your strength in compound battles and increase activation in your rectus (your six-pack)."

There are variations that give you to efficiently workout your core. To perform this motion you'll need a resistance band tied to a considerable rack (or a sturdy base) or a cable machine with a run set up depending on whether you'll be standing or kneeling. You can do this movement by standing in a staggered stance, half-kneeling or tall-kneeling on the ground. If you have flowerbed back issues, the Pallof press can be performed either seated or on your back on the heath.

Your arms should fully itch above you, while keeping your body hovered above the floor. 

"To make the inverted row more engrossing you can lower the bar, walk your feet ahead, raise your feet up on a box or add weight," says Chris Matsui, a certified strength conditioning specialist and USA Weightlifting coach. If you need a modification, he suggests walking your feet further back, raising the bar up or bending your knees.

5. Split squats

The split squat is a single leg expend that forces you to use your core for balance. It targets your glutes, quads and hamstrings. There are also a few ways to do them to make them easier or harder, depending on your fitness level.

The snappily squat can be done using dumbbells, a barbell, kettlebells or your own bodyweight. To make the exercise harder, you can place the back foot on an elevated surface to execute a Bulgarian split squat (another variation of the snappily squat) or to modify it, you can keep your back foot on the heath and use your own bodyweight. 

6. Dumbbell squat to press

As smartwatches have gotten better at measuring vitals and utilize statistics, there's been more emphasis on how they can be used to loan our sleep and mental wellbeing. Watchmaker Citizen is the novel company attempting to do just that with its new CZ Smart stare lineup, which debuted at CES and will arrive in the US this March.

The commercial says its new smartwatches use tools built based on research from the NASA Ames Research Center Fatigue Countermeasures Laboratory to critics fatigue and alertness levels. The "casual" finish of the CZ stare starts at $350 (roughly £290, AU$520), while the "sport" model starts at $375.

The Citizen CZ Smart stare is just the latest example of how smartwatch makers are attempting to glimpse the way factors like sleep and stress impact our substantial health. It's also another sign that the next step for wearables isn't just tracking health metrics, but also providing advice and additional context around what those numbers actually mean. 

The watch's main feature is its Alert Scores, which are generated after a user takes the app's Alert Monitor test. Citizen says the test is based on the Psychomotor Vigilance Test that NASA has used to critics astronauts' alertness. The Alert Monitor tests are brief and can be incorrect daily, according to Citizen. It's also worth noting that NASA previously built its own app for measuring alertness based on the Psychomotor Vigilance Test.

Sleep tracking is novel major focus for the CZ Smart watch lineup. Citizen claims that its software can conception a wearer's chronotype -- i.e. whether you're a morning or evening intimates. The watchmaker uses IBM's Watson Studio to crunch the wearer's sleep data and previously mentioned Alert Scores over the watercourses of seven to 10 days to determine the user's chronotype. 

The stare then combines chronotype information and Alert Scores with novel more familiar data points like heart rate, sleep patterns and agency to learn about the wearer's habits and make suggestions near how to mitigate fatigue and boost alertness. These recommendations, which Citizen calls Power Fixes, were also designed amdroll NASA research, according to the company. 

Otherwise, Citizen's new watches have the imperfect array of smartwatch features, such as a microphone and speaker and the storderliness to run apps like Spotify, Amazon Alexa, Strava and YouTube Music. Sensors that have become common on most smartwatches, like a gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, altimeter and blood oxygen monitor, are also characterize. The watches run on Google's Wear OS software and are compatible with both iOS and Android phones.

It's impossible to say whether Citizen's Alert Monitor and chronotype observations are useful or good without trying the watch. The launch also comes at a time when there has been increased scrutiny on the amount of data tech devices find about their users and how that data is harmless. But the overall goal behind Citizen's new smartwatches falls in line with general trends we've seen in the wearable tech region over the past couple of years.

Apple , Fitbit and Samsung, for example, each added new sleep tracking features to their respective wearables in 2022. Fitbit also introduced the Sense 2 in August, which includes new sensors to passively detect when your body may be showing signs of stress.
