Earlier this month, Studio Ghibli announced they had decided not to release any promotional content for Hayao Miyazaki‘s final directorial feature How Do You Live. This includes trailers, posters, or still images of any kind. Studio Ghibli president Toshio Suzuki is confident with this new release strategy, and believes it will pique the audiences’ interest more. In a recent interview with at the Ghibli Exhibit in Tokyo (via World of Reel), Miyazaki addressed his upcoming animated movie’s lack of marketing, admitting that he’s definitely nervous about its results. “I wonder if it’ll be okay without publicity,” the acclaimed filmmaker said.…
Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have successfully mapped specific regions in the brain that are activated in association with changes in blood sugar — also known as glucose — providing fundamental location information that could ultimately lead to more targeted therapies for people who struggle with conditions like diabetes. The landmark 13-year study, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, describes how the team used careful microscopic analysis to pinpoint specific cell populations in the brain that appear responsive to rapid changes in blood sugar.

Cable TV viewers might think ESPN stands for Every Single Person Nixed, considering how many hosts, analysts, and reporters have gotten the boot in the company’s latest round of layoffs.

By Lauren Knowles Date June 21, 2023 In the acclaimed fashion film The Devil Wears Prada, the Anna Wintour-inspired character Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) delivers a nearly two-minute monologue on the significance of the colour blue — or not blue. Stylists, eager to impress their cutthroat boss, bounce frantically from rack to rack as the fashionably unaware assistant Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) marvels at their inability to make seemingly insignificant decisions about fashion “stuff.”…
President Biden has tapped Mandy Cohen as the next director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Her appointment is not a usual changing of the guard, but rather a chance for a fresh direction for the beleaguered agency—with implications for the health of us all. With Cohen officially taking the reins next week, the conventional wisdom is that the CDC’s reset should revolve around better communication, swifter science and a well-resourced and less-fragmented public health system. All of those matter, and indeed the CDC’s own modernization plan, developed by outgoing CDC chief Rochelle Walensky, reflects most of…

The Mac Studio is the perfect middle ground for power users. It’s far more powerful than the 24-inch iMac ($1,299) as well as the Mac Mini ($599), but it’s thousands of dollars less than the new Mac Pro ($6,999). It’s the Goldilocks Mac—just right.You have the choice to outfit it with the M2 Max ($1,999) or M2 Ultra ($3,999)—two of the most powerful Apple chips available—but this further encroaches on the Mac Pro’s territory, since Apple’s pricey desktop computer is also powered by the M2 Ultra. For the vast majority of folks that need a powerful machine, you don’t need…
Welcome to Dissected, where we disassemble a band’s catalog, a director’s filmography, or some other critical pop-culture collection in the abstract. It’s exact science by way of a few beers. The time, we enter the quirky, warmhearted world of Wes Anderson. This article was originally published in 2018 and has been updated. “I wouldn’t say that I’m particularly bothered or obsessed with detail.” — Wes Anderson The rococo eccentricity and color palette of Grand Budapest Hotel say otherwise. As does the closet full of lovingly photographed and artfully uneven board games in The Royal Tenenbaums. Or the use of a…
The last time there was a new Star Wars movie in theaters was December of 2019, when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker debuted around the world. Since then, Lucasfilm has gone heavily into TV production with series like The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Andor. And they’ve announced and developed a couple of movies in that time as well. But more than three years later, none of those announced projects — including a Rogue Squadron movie by Patty Jenkins and a trilogy of movies by Rian Johnson — have seen the light of day.Earlier this year, Lucasfilm announced three more potential Star Wars films: A sequel to Rise…
CLIMATEWIRE | The Inflation Reduction Act could drive down U.S. emissions by as much as 48 percent by 2035, according to a new analysis in the journal Science. The paper, released Thursday, is the first to compile results from nine major models to examine the implications of the climate law’s $369 billion in energy and climate spending. More than 30 researchers — from the Department of Energy, EPA and numerous universities and environmental nonprofits — collaborated on the study. Researchers concluded that by 2035, U.S. emissions could fall by 43 percent to 48 percent, compared to 2005 levels. Without the climate law, that…

I hope they pin your eyes open so you have to watch what I do to this house.” London, 1905. The woman talking in Alex Hay’s The Housekeepers (Graydon House) is Mrs. King, who runs the staff of an enormous, sprawling house in Park Lane.

Photography by Getty Images Oh, this foolproof piece isn’t a staple of your summer wardrobe? Time to change that. By Natalie Michie Date June 22, 2023 Of all the poor decisions we can make in life, wearing overalls will never be one of them.

As an all-in-one outfit, they reliably fulfill their purpose to make getting dressed much easier. And though often met with trepidation, their staying power is unmatched. RELATED: Can Capris Be Cute?

Wildfire smoke drifting skyward may be driving the formation of cirrus clouds high in the atmosphereDoug Armand/Getty Images Smoke from wildfires now burning in North America may be seeding the formation of more cirrus clouds over Europe. More clouds could affect the amount of solar radiation trapped close to the earth’s surface, in what researchers say may be a new aspect of climate change. Cirrus clouds are the wispy strands often visible high in the sky. They form from accumulations of ice crystals in the frigid air near the stratosphere. Whether or not … Read The Full Article Here
With just hours to go, the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) extended a negotiation deadline and delayed a potential strike in its conflict with Hollywood studios.

The schematic of climate effects of future aerosol reductions for achieving carbon neutrality in China. Credit: Science China Press When China pursues the carbon neutrality goal and the long-term air quality target, aerosol reductions will cause temperature increase over eastern China and enhance precipitation over southern China. Black carbon (BC) emission reduction can effectively mitigate the warming effect caused by other aerosol emission reductions under carbon neutrality. As the largest developing country and a significant contributor to carbon dioxide (CO2), China has announced its ambitious climate commitment to pass carbon peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.

A good sex toy should feel like an extension of your body. When you’re using it, you shouldn’t have to think about where the buttons are or how you’re holding it. It should just feel natural, intuitive. When you have to think about the buttons—or even worse, actually stop using the toy to have a second look at its controls—it takes you out of the moment.

A UBC Okanagan researcher is cautioning that a person’s poor eating habits established during post-secondary studies can contribute to future health issues including obesity, respiratory illnesses and depression. Dr. Joan Bottorff, a Professor with UBCO’s School of Nursing, is one of several international researchers who published a multi-site study looking at the eating habits of university students. Almost 12,000 medical students from 31 universities in China participated in the study that aimed to determine the association between eating behaviours, obesity and various diseases. The point, says Dr. Bottorff, is that many poor eating habits begin at university and can continue…
If there was a phrase that could summarize Warrior Season 3 Episode 4, it’s the common, almost cliché saying, “You play with fire, you get burnt.” Many characters played with fire, and when it burned them, the pain was nothing like they had ever experienced. The search for the fake money plates brought the cops to the doors of the Hop Wei, where they wasted no time in raining hell on the place. It led to an eventful night for Yan Mi as she crossed more than one boundary, many of which she had never envisioned herself crossing. Elsewhere, Mai Ling’s…
