In honor of Pokémon Day (by the by, Happy Pokémon Day to all who celebrate), Netflix has announced a new animated series coming to its service in the near future inspired by the endless multimedia franchise. Titled Pokémon Concierge, the show is different from the standard Pokémon content in a few ways. For one thing, it’s not a 2D animated series; the show is stop-motion, made in collaboration with dwarf studios.For another, rather than a tale of battles and contests to determine the best Pokémon trainer of them all, Pokémon Concierge is set at a “resort” for Pokémon and their owners. (The carpet cleaning bills at that place must…
Ridiculously Hopeful: A Story of Bold Faith and Hope During a Crisis by Maleah Stephens Book reviewers are real people too. Let me explain. I was in the middle of a personal crisis. Here at BookTrib, we have the luxury of access to so many books, so many different voices that might resonate with readers looking for something to grab on to and connect with in times of strife. Different experiences. Different perspectives. Different insights. Different messages. I needed such a voice and thought I could do a lot worse than picking up a book with the most optimistic title…
Many small businesses fear that higher minimum wages will force them to lose profits or cut jobs. But new research co-authored at UC Berkeley finds that costs can be passed to customers with little impact on business — and considerable benefit for workers. Credit: Wikimedia Commons Restaurants, retail stores and other small businesses, long thought to be vulnerable to increases in the minimum wage, generally do not cut jobs and may actually benefit when governments raise minimum pay, according to a new study co-authored at UC Berkeley. The prevailing wisdom among many business owners and policymakers is that when the…
March 2, 1998, serves as the debut of the Cartoon Network Powerhouse, which was widely considered the network’s best era due to its slate of original content at the time. With the transition from the Checkerboard and Starburst eras to the Powerhouse era, the network began to feature original series more prominently. This includes iconic shows like Dexter’s Laboratory, Johnny Bravo, and Ed, Edd, n Eddy, among many others. Many of these shows started through their animated series What a Cartoon!, which showcased various pilot animations that would get greenlit if well-received. This is where many of the aforementioned shows…

There once was a virtual assistant named Ms. Dewey, a comely librarian played by Janina Gavankar who assisted you with your inquiries on Microsoft’s first attempt at a search engine. Ms. Dewey was launched in 2006, complete with over 600 lines of recorded dialog. She was ahead of her time in a few ways, but one particularly overlooked example was captured by information scholar Miriam Sweeney in her 2013 doctoral dissertation, where she detailed the gendered and racialized implications of Dewey’s replies. That included lines like, “Hey, if you can get inside of your computer, you can do whatever you want…
Following Avenged Sevenfold’s apparent social media hack earlier this week, the band’s fans over on Reddit have been doing a lot of investigating and think that they’re onto something.On Feb. 26, a piece of audio was uploaded to Avenged’s Trax podcast, which featured an AI-version of frontman M. Shadows’ voice breaking the news that the band had to cancel some of their upcoming festival performances because they were experiencing delays with their new album.Shadows tweeted the audio link shortly after saying that it wasn’t him, and in a separate tweet, denied that their festival appearances were canceled. Synyster Gates also tweeted about the…

Computer scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, in collaboration with biologists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, recently announced in the journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution a new, predictive model that is capable of accurately forecasting where a migratory bird will go next — one of the most difficult tasks in biology. The model is called BirdFlow, and while it is still being perfected, it should be available to scientists within the year and will eventually make its way to the general public. “Humans have been trying to figure out bird migration for a really long time,” says…

This 7-episode odyssey into a sunny place for shady people also stars Anthony LaPaglia, Abbey Lee, Otmara Marrero,…

What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write A Duke Always Breaks the Rules? I have always had a vivid imagination that allowed me to create these different worlds or scenes, and sometimes those stories inspire me to put them on paper in the hope that others will enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed creating them. While creating this series, Rockhurst quickly became one of my favorite characters and there is a special place in my heart for him. And when writing A Duke Always Breaks the Rules, I felt it was time for him…
In better times, the U.S. has, with some humility, owned up to its failures. Commissions have investigated tragedies such as Pearl Harbor and 9 /11. Presidential blue-ribbon panels bulwarked the Social Security program in 1983 and overhauled NASA’s space shuttle program after the 1986 Challenger disaster. Three years into the COVID pandemic, more than 1.1 million people are dead, and millions more are living with long COVID. How did the nation judged most prepared for an epidemic or pandemic in 2019 suffer a death rate so much worse than peers such as Canada, Germany or Japan? These are historic failures,…

It’s not every day that snow closes roads near southern California’s city of Santa Barbara or that flakes fall on the mountain where the iconic Hollywood sign sits. Those scenes come courtesy of a powerful winter storm that is bringing unusual blizzard conditions to the southern parts of the state. The National Weather Service’s (NWS’s) office in San Diego issued a blizzard warning for the first time in its history, and the agency’s Los Angeles office did so for the first time since 1989. The massive storm already ushered in frigid conditions across the Pacific Northwest and gave Portland its…

It’s easy to see the influences—Wednesday is equal parts Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, Riverdale, and Smallville (no surprise, given it’s created by the latter’s Alfred Gough and Miles Millar)—but it’s all elevated by Jenna Ortega’s brilliantly macabre and deliciously deadpan performance as Wednesday herself, not to mention the visual sensibilities of director Tim Burton. With a phenomenal supporting cast, including Catharine Zeta-Jones and Luis Guzmán as Morticia and Gomez Addams; Fred Armisen as deranged Uncle Fester; Gwendoline Christie as Nevermore’s Principal Weems; and the cinematic Wednesday Addams, Christina Ricci, as a botany teacher, this latter-day Addams Family spinoff is a post-Halloween treat.Cyberpunk: EdgerunnersWhile…

The story of The Last of Us Episode 7 is drawn in large part from two different existing sources. The Last of Us: American Dreams Dark Horse comic book miniseries and The Last of Us DLC Left Behind.

And in fact, this backstory is how Ellie was initially bitten by an infected, which is the moment she discovers that she is immune to the Cordyceps fungus.That’s one of the little details, hidden references to the games, and Easter eggs…

An ancient oak tree with heart rotRichard Wright I am in a forest 35 kilometres west of London, meeting someone who is trying to make young trees old. “Old trees form hugely important habitats,” says Lynne Boddy, a mycologist at Cardiff University, UK. “But in Europe in general, including in Britain, we don’t have all that many now.” She is one of a handful of scientists around the world trying to do something about it. Boddy takes me over to look at a gnarly oak, which is roughly 300 years old. … Read The Full Article Here
