Male harbour seals use complex vocalisations to try to attract femalesimageBROKER / Alamy Stock Photo Male harbour seal pups may learn the complex vocalisations they use to woo females years beforehand. Social mammals like humans and naked mole rats learn calls and sounds from close contact with other members of their species. Harbour seals (Phoca vitulina) spend their lives alone apart from a few weeks of puppyhood. “They are raised solely by their mothers for a couple of weeks, and then they get nourished and swim off,” says Diandra Düngen at the Max … Read The Full Article Here

Here at WIRED, we love fanny packs (or waist belts, bum bags, whatever you want to call them). Before the resurgence of all things the 1990s, this might have been an unpopular confession. But now, we’re just happy to share our affection with a wider audience.Fanny packs don’t make your back sweat or twist your spine. You can carry the weight in your front, swing it around to the back, or sling it over a shoulder. They can go from the hiking trail to the bar without skipping a beat, and they can hold your train ticket and fit into…
The first Saw X trailer has been unleashed and, along with glimpses of Tobin Bell’s’ reprisal of the long-deceased villain John “Jigsaw” Kramer and his latest arsenal of lethal torture devices, the new preview teases the return of Shawnee Smith’s victim-turned-accomplice Amanda from the horror franchise’s original trilogy. The reunion between psychotic mastermind and protégé marks the first time Bell and Smith have shared the screen since 2006’s Saw III, which saw the demise of both characters. Bell has starred in almost every subsequent entry of the franchise via flashbacks, while Smith’s Amanda last appeared in 2009’s Saw VI. Although…
Director Martin Brest has reflected on how much his movie Gigli changed in postproduction. Brest had a successful directing career behind him, having helmed movies like Beverly Hills Cop, Midnight Run, and Meet Joe Black. That all changed when he wrote and directed Gigli, a 2003 romantic crime comedy movie notable for starring Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez while they were romantically involved in real life. It also starred Al Pacino, who Brest had directed in an Oscar-winning performance in Scent of a Woman. However, the movie was met with overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics and became one of the…

The series premieres Sunday, July 16 at 8/7c on the network. “We thought, let’s create a brick-and-mortar location for something that hasn’t existed but [taps] the nostalgia of the people that watch our network,” notes HGTV head of content Loren Ruch, who was also behind 2019’s equally evocative A Very Brady Renovation. “Then we [added] a competition layer.” Hosted by model and past Barbie…
For years, unrecycled plastic bottles have been dumped in landfills. Now, thanks to new research from UBC Okanagan, those bottles may have a second life in that landfill — stabilizing its earth walls. Used plastic bottles and textiles pose an increasing problem for landfills worldwide. Researchers say nearly a hundred million metric tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), also known as microplastics, are produced globally each year — with a fraction of that number being recycled — making it one of the largest sources of plastic waste. “One way we can manage plastic waste is through integrating it into geotechnical construction,”…

The Supreme Court on Thursday asked how can there be a pre-screening committee for web series, films or other programmes which are directly released on online platforms.A bench headed by Chief Justice of India UU Lalit observed that it always felt pre-censorship is impermissible.”How can there be a pre-screening committee for web series? There is particular legislation. Unless you say OTT (over-the-top) is also a part of it… you must say that existing legislation must apply to OTT. Various questions will arise because transmission occurs from other countries”, the bench said.The top court was hearing a plea filed by Mirzapur…
Muse performed a revised setlist in Malaysia one week after the country’s government prematurely canceled a performance by The 1975. The revision was announced via concert promoter Hello Universe ahead of Muse’s show on July 29th at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium as part of their ongoing “Will of the People” world tour. Concert organizer Adam Ashraf told Rojak Daily, “They called us shortly after [The 1975] incident went global. After discussions, they decided to pull one song out of the setlist due to the title of the song. It’s nice to know they’re eager to entertain while also respecting…
Mission: Impossible always goes for grander and grander heights. The 7th entry in the series is no different. Tom Cruise hasn’t slowed down a bit even though he’s getting older, and it really shows in one specific scene from the new film, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One. Here’s the thing about heightening these movies though. They’re all about spectacle. You can’t just get bigger and better by being more dangerous. There’s a certain art to it.The train scene in Dead Reckoning is an incredible example of that. As they explain in the featurette below, you can’t really just go out and buy…
Around one third of people with heart disease suffer from sleep problems. In a paper published in the journal Science, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) shows that heart diseases affect the production of the sleep hormone melatonin in the pineal gland. The link between the two organs is a ganglion in the neck region. The study demonstrates a previously unknown role of ganglia and points to possible treatments. The fact that melatonin levels can decrease in patients with diseases of the heart muscle, for example after a heart attack, has been known for some time. This…

Some people just need grace. Before arriving in a courtroom for a hearing, all defendants have been through stuff most people can never imagine. The purpose of a hearing is to determine whether a person is guilty of the crime they’ve been accused of by all fair means. As Danny’s trial ended on The Crowded Room Season 1 Episode 10, his defense team pulled something short of a miracle. Stan and Rya had avoided putting Danny on the stand because it is usually the smart thing to do. When a counselor puts their client on the stand, they expose them to…
In New York City in 2018, a cat reportedly fell from the window of a 32nd-floor apartment onto hard asphalt—and survived. After a two-day stay at the vet, who treated a collapsed lung and broken teeth, the four-legged friend was able to return home. It’s likely that other similar situations have given rise to the adage that cats have nine lives. For decades, researchers from a wide range of disciplines have been trying to understand their amazing survival skills. But it was not the animals’ falls from dizzying heights that first puzzled physicists in the late 19th century. Instead experts were stumped by…

A Brazilian court on Thursday fined Apple BRL 100 million (Rs. 150 crore) and ruled that battery chargers must come with new iPhone models sold in the country.

Apple said it will appeal the decision.Previously, the tech firm argued that the practice had the purpose of reducing carbon emissions.”It is evident that, under the justification of a ‘green initiative,’ the defendant imposes on the…
Grimes has released “I Wanna Be Software,” the single she previewed on TikTok last week with hashtags including, “#dogs,” “#sloth,” and “#existentialism.” She co-produced the single, which describes a desire to be uploaded to the cloud, with longtime Weeknd collaborator Illangelo. Check it out below. A landing page bills the song as “A new chapter from Book I,” purportedly a forthcoming full-length project. Last month, Grimes released “Welcome to the Opera,” a collaboration with Anyma, aka Matteo Milleri of Italian duo Tale of Us. That was her first single since leaving Columbia Records this year, the label that released her post–Miss…

The CW is making some last-minute changes to its schedule, which means we have some renew/cancel news. The network has immediately pulled Down to Earth With Zac Efron and Fantastic Friends from their Tuesday slots. News of the shows being yanked from the schedule is not entirely surprising: Down to Earth With Zac Efron touched down on the network’s summer slate with just over 300,000 viewers. A week later, the numbers were down to 232,000 viewers. Fantastic Friends started with 161,000 viewers and dipped slightly to 158,000 in week two. While the numbers are not terrible (by CW summer standards),…
Researchers isolated the newly described nematode (Panagrolaimus kolymaensis) from permafrost in 2018, but its age and species remained unclear. (Image credit: Shatilovich et al, 2023, PLOS Genetics; (CC-BY 4.0))A microscopic worm survived in the Siberian permafrost for a record-breaking 46,000 years, scientists have discovered — tens of thousands of years longer than previously resurrected worms.The ancient roundworm, or nematode, belongs to the newly described species Panagrolaimus kolymaensis. Researchers discovered it nestled inside a fossilized squirrel burrow that was extracted from permafrost near the Kolyma River, in the northeastern Arctic, in 2002. Scientists resuscitated the frozen nematode in 2018, but its…
The anticipation for the “Barbie” movie wardrobe has been at an all-time high, cinematically speaking. The movie has become a jumping-off point for the Barbiecore fashion trend and plenty of merch from designer collaborations. For costume designer Jacqueline Durran (2017’s “Beauty and the Beast” and 2019’s “Little Women”), that could feel like serious pressure. The workload was an impressive feat to take on, especially since her team only had 11 weeks to make the looks — and they continued creating while filming progressed. Durran drew inspiration from a range of sources, including iconic Barbie dolls from the ’80s and pastels…

It feels like just a few weeks ago we were counting down the top movies of 2022. Nope — 2023 is already half over. How did that happen? Where did half the year go so quickly? It was just here; now it’s vanished.
