A new study provides novel insight into the benefits of exercise, which should motivate adults to keep moving throughout their lifetime, especially during middle age. Long-term exercise profoundly benefits the aging brain and may prevent aging-related memory function decline by increasing the survival and modifying the network of the adult-born neurons born during early adulthood, and thereby facilitating their participation in cognitive processes. Aging often is accompanied by cognitive decline. Among the first structures of the brain affected are the hippocampus and adjacent cortices, areas essential for learning and memory. Deficits in cognitive ability are associated with reduced hippocampal volume…

An illegal mining camp in the Brazilian Amazon, where police and soldiers were deployed to evict gold miners in FebruaryALAN CHAVES/AFP via Getty Images Almost six months into his second spell as president of Brazil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has begun to rein in the rampant destruction of the Amazon that was let loose by his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro. But his efforts to save the rainforest could be scuppered by a right-wing Congress, experts say. The first significant reduction in forest clearing came in April, when Amazon deforestation fell 68 per cent … Read The Full Article Here

UPDATE (6/13/2023): CBS CEO George Cheeks confirmed the @midnight reboot during a panel at the Banff World Media Festival on Tuesday, June 13, in Alberta, Canada. He said it was a natural program to air directly after The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “The 12:30 a.m. slot is ripe for reinvention,” he said, per Variety. “There aren’t a ton of people watching at that hour, you really do need to think about what is the true cross platform version? What we ended up doing, first of all, it’s Funny or Die and Stephen Colbert, so the auspices couldn’t be any…
For more than a century, the idea of democracy has meant a liberal democracy, where we vote for our leaders and our government rests on a defining document like the U.S. Constitution. In a liberal democracy, there is also a separation of powers between the different arms of our representative government and rule of law. However, this is not the only way in which democratic government can be conceived and lately, we have been drifting away from that ideal. For example, in countries like Turkey, Russia and Hungary, people have elected with large majorities authoritarian leaders who have shown a…

The couple was first romantically linked in December 2014.While Swift and Healy didn’t explicitly confirm the new 2023 rumors, they were seen holding hands and kissing on May 11 in New York City.

Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope — out Thursday on Nintendo Switch — does what you’d expect from a sequel to a well-received game by immersing you in a richer and more expansive world. While the first game, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, proceeded in a linear fashion, Sparks of Hope tries to be more exploratory with a semi-open world of sorts. There’s now an in-game map, with quests marked on it. Thankfully, it’s not as littered with icons as some of Ubisoft’s other open world games. There is a bit of level-gating, as you might expect — it never…

Nonetheless, the 40-year-old rapper shared new music just days later, dropping Indian Jones, an album made…

The following essay is reprinted with permission from The Conversation, an online publication covering the latest research. Generative AI is the hot new technology behind chatbots and image generators. But how hot is it making the planet? As an AI researcher, I often worry about the energy costs of building artificial intelligence models. The more powerful the AI, the more energy it takes. What does the emergence of increasingly more powerful generative AI models mean for society’s future carbon footprint? “Generative” refers to the ability of an AI algorithm to produce complex data. The alternative is “discriminative” AI, which chooses between a…
It looks like Paramount Network’s decision to air 1883 Season 1 is off to a winning start. The cable network re-aired the first two episodes of the Yellowstone prequel Sunday night, and the numbers don’t lie: 3.8 million viewers tuned in when replays and simulcasts are factored in. The series has been available on Paramount+ for over a year, so these numbers signal that many viewers didn’t follow the show to the streaming service after its short-term launch on the cabler in December 2021. At that time, 1883 Season 1 Episode 1 launched on Paramount Network with around 5 million…

Manure from livestock releases nitrogen and phosphorus into many UK rivers, including the TillJim Gibson/Loop Images Ltd/Alamy THE rolling English farmland of Dorset, Somerset and Devon might look like a bucolic idyll, but looks can be deceptive. These three counties in the country’s south-west are home to hundreds of intensive dairy farms, producing almost a quarter of the UK’s milk. Thousands of cows create a smelly problem for farmers: what to do with all the dung? As I drive along the winding country lanes, the stench drifting off nearby fields offers a clue. My nostrils aside, it is local rivers…

Rob Moose and Bon Iver have teamed up for the new collaborative single “Marvel Room,” taken from the former’s upcoming debut EP, Inflorescence. In a statement, Rob Moose — whose work as an arranger with Bon Iver stretches as far back as the band’s 2011 self-titled LP — called frontman Justin Vernon “a creative north star” who “coaxes creative breakthroughs out of me.” Fittingly, “Marvel Room” began as an “idea” while recording 2019’s i,i, “though it wasn’t one we approached together during the arranging process.” “I encountered it during a hard drive deep dive, and was intrigued by its propulsive…

In October 1962, the rules of engagement during the Cold War assumed particular urgency. Soviet nuclear warheads were in Cuba — and ships carrying missiles, launchers, and more warheads were on their way. The U.S. needed to establish new rules to communicate with and relate to the Soviet Union. Gregory Bateson, an interdisciplinary scholar, looked to his own studies with octopuses for insight into this problem.Bateson understood that for birds and mammals, communication was rooted in parent-offspring bonds. In courtship feeding among many bird species, for example, the courted female begs like a young bird and allows the male to…
The Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards have celebrated excellence in children’s books, middle grade and young adult novels since 1967.

The three winners and six Honor books in the Picture Books, Fiction and Poetry, and Nonfiction categories, serve the essential purpose of educating children, enriching their lives and opening their eyes to others’ experiences and perspectives. Every year, the awards are selected by an independent panel of judges, and…
In typical Taylor Swift fashion, her outfit is more than meets the eye. The 33-year-old musician is currently staying at her New York City apartment ahead of her upcoming Eras Tour shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Stepping out on May 22, Swift wore a cropped white button-down and crossover black denim shorts — both from R13 — with nude Zahara sandals from Australian brand A.Emery. She finished the look…
