Scientists have blasted the brains of mice and rats with ultrasound to knock them into a hibernation-like state, and the researchers say the technique could one day be used on injured humans in critical care or on astronauts taking long-haul spaceflights. The first-of-its-kind method — which works by firing ultrasound at a region of the brain responsible for controlling metabolism and body temperature — reduced the rodents’ average body temperatures by up to 6.25 degrees Fahrenheit (3.5 degrees Celsius) while also slowing down their heart rates and reducing their oxygen consumption.The results of the animal study could provide researchers with some…

Two soothing routines Danish people regularly do, according to Henriksen, are chamomile eye treatments and lavender facial steam treatments.

A grave in Malomirovo, Bulgaria, containing a human skeleton bearing evidence of horse ridingMichał Podsiadło The earliest evidence of horse riding has been found in 5000-year-old human skeletons from south-east Europe. The bones of nine men from graves in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania show hallmarks of horse riding in the patterns of wear on their spines, legs and pelvises. The adoption of horse riding is seen as one of the key developments of history, as it helped people to herd livestock, promoted trade and migration, and eventually transformed warfare.Advertisement “Suddenly, people had the possibility to move five times as fast…
Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time clocks an 11th consecutive, and total, week atop the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated May 27). It now has the most weeks in a row at No. 1 since the Titanic soundtrack sailed at No. 1 for 16 consecutive weeks (its entire run at No. 1) in January-May 1998. One Thing at a Time is also the first album of any genre to spend its first 11 weeks at No. 1 since Whitney Houston’s Whitney also ruled for its first 11 weeks in 1987 (its total run at No. 1).

As part of the recent trend (which you either love or hate) of horror takes on beloved childhood classics, Cinderella’s Curse has been announced.The film follows in the wake of similarly conceived horror versions of kids’ favorites like Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, and The Mean One (AKA the horror film of The Grinch). These movies tend to be panned by critics, while audiences are generally somewhat merciful. For example, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey has a critic score of three percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Meanwhile, the audience score is 50 percent The Mean One did somewhat better with critics, but not quite as well with…

Priyanka Chopra continues on her style streak, this time in a feature story for The Zoe Report.

The instrument was signed (in one way or another) by all three members of Nirvana, including Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl. This particular Strat had some personal significance, as it was gifted by Cobain to his friend and fellow Seattle music cohort, the…

Sometimes I’m in the mood to read a book that will rip my heart out and then stitch it back in. And then to recover from that, I need some fluffy romances. Fluffy romance books can have a lot in common with cozy romance books, but I do think they are key differences. To me, coziness is about establishing an inviting atmosphere that manifests in storytelling modes, settings, professions, and plot lines. Meanwhile, I think of fluffiness as an emotional register.

Big cats have tested positive for the coronavirus before, but this is the first known case of a lion probably transmitting the infection to zoo workersJames Ahmed / EyeEm/Getty Images A lion that was infected with the coronavirus probably passed it on to two zoo employees, researchers have said in a new paper. Viral samples collected from the animal and the two workers were identical, with contact tracing suggesting the employees didn’t catch the infection in any other way. Previous studies suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus has been passed from people to animals, such … Read The Full Article Here

In the years since its launch, the bag has been revisioned in a rainbow of hues. Though, the black, tan, beige and green colourways are easily the most prevalent on our social media feeds.Instantly recognisable and unlike anything else out there, the Loewe Puzzle Bag has become something of a cult item. It’s particularly popular amongst minimal-style enthusiasts who can’t help but gravitate towards the bag’s clean lines coupled with its ingenious design, which earned the bag its place alongside other (arguably more traditional) classic handbags.

It was the spring of 2016, and I was in the Oval Office, waiting to interview for a job. Only I wasn’t in Washington, DC. I was at the headquarters of GitHub, a code hosting platform, in San Francisco, sitting inside a perfect, full-size replica of the office of the president of the United States.A woman arrived to retrieve me. Shaking my hand, she explained that the Oval Office was being dismantled and replaced with a café for employees. We’re trying to make things a little more practical, she said, with a shrug and a barely detectable roll of her…
The mixotrophic protist Paramecium bursaria can eat bacteria or use photosynthesis to get energy and carbon. Photosynthesis occurs inside the endosymbiotic Chlorella algae (green spheres) that live inside P bursaria cells. Credit: Daniel Wieczynski New research finds that a warming climate could flip globally abundant microbial communities from carbon sinks to carbon emitters, potentially triggering climate change tipping points. The findings are published in Functional Ecology. Mixotrophic microbes are organisms that can switch between photosynthesizing like plants (absorbing carbon dioxide) and eating like animals (releasing carbon dioxide). They are globally abundant, commonly found in freshwater and marine environments, and estimated…
It must be a daunting task to try to prank pop music’s reigning troll, but Eric Andre sure gave it his best shot. Lil Nas X had quite the visit at The Eric Andre Show, as you can see from a sneak-peek clip of the upcoming Season 6 premiere episode (via Rolling Stone). Complete with a saucy new hairdo and decór reminiscent of an ’80s porno set, Andre welcomed Lil Nas X with a roar of audience applause and a jingle from the in-house band. The pair hardly had a moment to chat before a strange, screaming presence began bulging…

Ever since Madison Clark popped back up after most characters thought she was dead, I wondered how the series would handle her reunions with the people from her past. Fear the Walking Dead Season 8 Episode 3 was a satisfying hour of this Walking Dead spinoff because it had a clear focus, many reunions, and significant shifts that will drive the final three episodes of the first half of Fear the Walking Dead Season 8. We’ll start with Madison and June. Kim Dickens and Jenna Elfman are two of the finest actors, and they managed to deliver the raw emotion…
