Last night we played Amazon jungle Stadium/Brazil. Humidity…
Sometimes, in Hollywood, you have to cut corners. Especially when it comes to television. Some of the most popular TV shows were filmed on sets that were recycled for a completely different series — and you probably never even realized it.Unlike movies, which often shoot on location anywhere in the world, television shows (and especially sitcoms) predominantly shoot on one fixed set. At least, they did up until around a decade ago. Nowadays, TV series are granted the freedom to be filmed just like movies — and that includes a greater variety of onscreen locales. Even so, a great deal…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write River of Mercy? Years ago, as a young newspaper reporter, I did a story on boating safety in the Sacramento River. I rode along with the Sacramento Sheriff’s Department for a week in their river patrol boat, hearing all kinds of stories. “There are bodies in the river that will never be found,” the sheriff told me. “Submerged cars conceal crimes that may never be solved.” This stuck with me because how can there be justice if someone gets away with murder? And what is mercy? Who deserves it?…

A warmer Arctic has been linked to extreme winter weather in the midlatitude regions. But, it is not clear how global warming affects this link. In a new study, researchers from Korea and USA show, using weather data and climate models, that while the “Warm Arctic-Cold Continent” pattern will continue as the climate continues to warm, Arctic warming will become a less reliable predictor of extreme winter weather in the future. Pictures of melting glaciers and stranded polar bears on shrinking sea ice in the Arctic are perhaps the most striking images that have been used to highlights the effects…
Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette was more than just the late Chanel creative director’s pet. The Birman cat was his muse, a concept I understand fully as the mother of my own two cats, Trish the Tabby and Kit the Kitten. Like Lagerfeld, my cats are always by my side; Choupette was as ubiquitous in photos of the designer as his finger-less gloves or dark sunglasses. So, it’s no wonder many celebrities paid homage to her on the 2023 Met Gala red carpet. Choupette is a star in her own right, with both a German car commercial and Japanese beauty campaign…

Fall Out Boy records have surely generated a significant amount of tears over the past two decades, but what if Fall Out Boy records were made of tears? The pop-punk veterans have announced Crynyl, a limited edition vinyl infused with the artist’s real, actual tears. First on the docket is their latest album, So Much (For) Stardust, Fall Out Boy hinted at Crynyl back in March when they posted an Instagram video of Pete Wentz applying tear stick, chopping onions, and sweetly reminiscing on his friendship with Patrick Stump, all for a secret upcoming project. Those tears apparently went towards one of the…

Cornell University researchers have found people have more efficient conversations, use more positive language and perceive each other more positively when using an artificial intelligence-enabled chat tool. The study, published in Scientific Reports, examined how the use of AI in conversations impacts the way that people express themselves and view each other. “Technology companies tend to emphasize the utility of AI tools to accomplish tasks faster and better, but they ignore the social dimension,” said Malte Jung, associate professor of information science. “We do not live and work in isolation, and the systems we use impact our interactions with others.”…

Holly Knight’s singular music career included crafting a good part of the soundtrack to the MTV 80s with mega-hits for Tina Turner (“The Best”), Pat Benatar (“Love Is A Battlefield”), and Patty Smyth (“The Warrior”) — songs that celebrated female empowerment and shaped pop and rock for years to come. Where were you in the 80s? Even if you were too young to remember or not even born yet, music from this decade continues…
Michael J. Fox’s latest small-screen project is his most personal yet. In the new Apple TV+documentary Still: A Michael J.

The Isthmus of Panama connected North and South America sometime between 23 million and 3 million years ago. (Image credit: zbruch)Aside from supercontinent formations, North and South America were unconnected up until several million years ago; then a tiny slat of land linked the continents, triggering impacts that affected the entire planet. This small stretch of land, known as the Isthmus of Panama, transformed global climate and launched a huge natural experiment in migration for plants and animals.But exactly how many million years ago did the Americas link up?

Spoiler alert: This story contains the identity of the contestants eliminated on Wednesday night’s (May 10) episode of The Masked Singer. You’d think that having five singers would give you a distinct advantage when going up against just one disguised vocalist on The Masked Singer. But on Wednesday night’s semifinal episode of the season, even after California Roll left it all on the stage with a killer version of Kelly Clarkson’s “Breakaway” and then went head-to-five-head against Macaw and Medusa in the Battle Royale round singing Bruno Mars’ “Runaway Baby,” it was time for the nori to meet the road.…
No one really expected Patrick Stewart to be up for a sequel to Star Trek: The Next Generation. Somehow, he’s back, and he might be ready for more. Stewart signed on for three seasons of Star Trek: Picard, despite the fact that he previously said he was done with the character after 2002’s Star Trek: Nemesis. A lot can change in a couple decades, and things changed just as much for Picard himself. And while Picard is now over, Stewart and a lot of the cast and creators of the show are interested in continuing the show in another series, which would be called Star Trek:…
What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Heartless (Athena Ellison Book 1)? My previous series, the Fae War Chronicles, is more epic and high fantasy, and I’ve been writing that series for the past twelve years. So I wanted to delve into a darker and edgier series, exploring the ideas that fantasy creates the space to contemplate: family relationships, society’s expectations, knowing when to ask for help, and ultimately deciding if the ends justify the means. But I also still wanted to write a fun book, so I thought of it as a loving send-up of…

Gemini time-series photometry of J0049−2525 obtained over two consecutive nights. Credit: Kilic et al, 2023 Astronomers have conducted photometric observations of a white dwarf known as J004917.14−252556.81. Results of the observational campaign detected photometric variability of this object, making J004917.14−252556.81 the most massive pulsating white dwarf known to date. The finding is reported in a paper published April 18 in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. White dwarfs (WDs) are stellar cores left behind after a star has exhausted its nuclear fuel. Although their atmospheres are mainly composed of hydrogen or helium, between 25% and 50% of all known…

Solar-powered balloons launched into the Earth’s stratosphere have recorded a series of mysterious rumblings, and scientists can’t pinpoint their origins.The noises, detected by specialized instruments at 70,000 feet above the Earth’s surface, are known as infrasound because they are so low-pitched they are inaudible to human ears. Picked out from among a wash of hidden low-frequency sounds — including thunder, ocean waves, rocket launches, cities, wind turbines and even planes, trains and automobiles — the strange infrasounds have so far defied explanation. “[In the stratosphere,] there are mysterious infrasound signals that occur a few times per hour on some flights, but…
Alan Palomo of Neon Indian and Mac DeMarco have teamed up for a new coastal, chill bop, “Nudista Mundial ’89,” marking Palomo’s first release since 2019. Palomo has kept a relatively low profile in recent years, but “Nudista Mundial ’89” — his debut single under his own name — is seemingly the start of a new era. Though it may mark the end of the Neon Indian moniker as far as the music is concerned, Palomo is at the top of his game, and he seems to be having fun, especially with DeMarco. “While working on a few tunes, I…

People on high incomes can still get happier with more moneyColin Anderson/Blend Images LLC/Getty Images For most people in the US, more money does seem to increase their happiness – even at incomes above $75,000 a year.

Their research was based on survey data from 1000 people in the US who had been surveyed daily between 2008 and 2009 about their levels of happiness. It found that the more money someone makes, the happier … Read The Full Article…
