Power Rangers star Amy Jo Johnson is speaking out about reports surrounding her absence from Netflix’s Might Morphin Power Rangers: Once & Always. When the anniversary project was announced, many of Johnson’s former co-stars were confirmed to be on board. The actress has taken issue with fans saying she didn’t take part in the project due to monetary reasons. “Please stop saying I didn’t do reunion because of money. Simply not true,” she wrote. “Maybe I just didn’t want to wear spandex in my fifties.” “Or I couldn’t travel to New Zealand to film for a month. Or perhaps it’s…

I mean, we don’t really use these anymore. Some people do. Some people are like, “I’m going back to the earth. I’m living in a yurt and I’m using a flip phone. I’m going to be in green bubbles forever. I don’t need any apps.” But it’s so satisfying. You know what, also, as I was carrying this into the office this morning, I dropped it and…
Nickelback guitarist Ryan Peake turned 50 yesterday (March 1) and he received a very special gift from his longtime bandmate Chad Kroeger, one that would certainly bring a bit of nostalgic envy to many of the band’s fans who grew up in the ’70s and early ’80s.”Well it’s Ryan Peake’s 50th birthday coming up and that’s a big one. You never know what you’re going to get someone for their birthday, so I went a little nuts and I got him this,” said Kroeger, before the camera pans over to a black Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am with the gold-winged logo on…
Nobody is ever really gone in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In one way or another, in one form or another, they always seems to come back.Liv Tyler’s Betty Ross was last seen way back in 2008’s The Incredible Hulk, just the second film ever in the MCU. While the Hulk himself continued to appear in the MCU, Tyler’s Incredible Hulk co-star, Edward Norton, was replaced by Mark Ruffalo. And his version of Bruce Banner never reunited with Tyler’s Betty (and even romanced Scarlett Johansson’s Black Widow for a while).But Tyler will reportedly make her Marvel comeback in the upcoming Captain America: New World…
Bacteria living on meat may be causing urinary tract infections (UTIs) — potentially around half a million per year in the U.S., a recent study suggests.Previous research supported the idea that meatborne bacteria can travel through the digestive tract and trigger UTIs upon their exit, but it wasn’t clear how often this might occur. The research, published online on Feb. 28 in the journal One Health (opens in new tab), provides strong clues, but the study has a few limitations: Namely, it uses data collected in 2012 in Flagstaff, Arizona, which may not accurately reflect current rates of meat-microbe-related UTIs…

When Tim and Sara are offered an all-expense paid trip to New Orleans, they simply cannot turn it down. It’s…
Floppy crystals. Salts that contain water in their crystalline structure can become soft and floppy. Credit: UvA When we think of crystals, we think of ice, kitchen salt, quartz, and so on—hard solids whose shapes show a regular pattern. Research performed in the group of UvA-IoP physicist Noushine Shahidzadeh shows that crystals can be quite different: they can be soft and deformable shapes without the familiar facets. The paper where these results were reported was featured as an Editor’s Highlight by the journal Nature Communications. Crystals are generically hard solids, and are usually identified by their well-defined geometrical shape that…

From ShutEye to SleepScore, several smartphone apps are available if you’re trying to better understand how snoring impacts your rest, allowing you to leave the microphone on overnight to record your raucous nasal grunts and rumbling throat reverberations. But while smartphone apps are helpful for tracking the presence of snores, their accuracy remains an issue when applied to real-world bedrooms with extraneous noises and multiple audible people.Preliminary research from the University of Southampton looks into whether your snores have a signature sound that could be used for identification. “How do you actually track snoring or coughing accurately?” asks Jagmohan Chauhan, an assistant…

Go involves placing stones on a board to claim territoryShutterswtock/Lunx AIs can beat the world’s best players at the board game Go, but humans are starting to improve too. An analysis of millions of Go moves has found that professional players have been making better and more original game choices since Go-playing AIs overtook humans.

AlphaGo defeated multiple Go champions, including the then number one ranked human player. Since then, other AIs have also been developed…

Photography by Getty Images A pro hairstylist breaks down how to successfully become a redhead. By Lauren Knowles Date March 17, 2023 Copper. Auburn. Crimson. Ginger. Cherry. No matter how you like it, red hair is the colour trend of the moment. There’s a certain je ne sais quoi about red hair. It’s free-spirited. It’s fiery. And it feels as though everywhere we look we’re seeing red — especially in Hollywood. At an Oscars after-party on March 12, Megan Fox unveiled a freshly dyed copper top, coloured by hair stylist Jacob Schwartz, in a major departure from her signature dark tresses.…
The advent of AI models will only accelerate this trend. We will place ever more value on works that seem made for their own sake, rather than ours. That’s bad news for the AI robots, which are explicitly designed to please us. Engaging in a task for its own sake is one thing that, by construction, is beyond any AI’s ability. Trained on what has appealed to us in the past, they offer it back in new colors. We will look upon these pastiches with increasing suspicion, scrutinizing the provenance of words and images. Books and movies will tout their full-blooded…

A galaxy that is just emerging from hiding may be one of the youngest ever discovered, offering a potential portal to the secrets of the early universe. Aptly named “Peekaboo,” the galaxy moved from behind a bright star (from our perspective) only within the past 50 to 100 years. But it’s not just the galaxy’s relatively recent appearance that has astronomers excited. In results published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, scientists report that Peekaboo appears to have a significant lack of old stars. The new measurements suggest the dwarf galaxy may have formed billions of years after…

Last week, WIRED published a series of in-depth, data-driven stories about a problematic algorithm the Dutch city of Rotterdam deployed with the aim of rooting out benefits fraud.In partnership with Lighthouse Reports, a European organization that specializes in investigative journalism, WIRED gained access to the inner workings of the algorithm under freedom-of-information laws and explored how it evaluates who is most likely to commit fraud. We found that the algorithm discriminates based on ethnicity and gender—unfairly giving women and minorities higher risk scores, which can lead to investigations that cause significant damage to claimants’ personal lives. An interactive article digs into the guts of the…

What is it about Hollywood of yore and its black-and-white icons that continues to seduce readers today? There’s something about the past that feels nostalgic, more wholesome. But as we dig deeper, losing ourselves in the pages of a good book that goes behind the scenes in Tinsel Town, the stories of Hollywood’s elite come to life, revealing so much more than our collective memory tells us is true. In my new novel, Strangers in the Night, chronicling the tumultuous relationship between Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner — two giants among the famed list of Hollywood stars — it was…
The strongest solar storm to hit Earth for six years sparked stunning auroras across the U.S., with intense light displays appearing as far south as Alabama and Northern California. Yet no one saw it coming. The March 24 solar storm was the result of a “stealth” coronal mass ejection (CME) – or a gargantuan, fast-moving blob of plasma and magnetic field released from the sun – Live Science’s sister site Space.com reports (opens in new tab). The CME came from a coronal hole wider than 20 Earths that was spewing out solar winds at speeds over 1.3 million mph (2.1 million…
