It’s become so commonplace for musicians to release covers, that we’re almost immune to it. However, when an artist totally steps out of their genre to cover something entirely unexpected, that’s cause for excitement. Rapper T-Pain has released a new covers album, titled On Top of the Covers, via Nappy Boy Entertainment. The album features a unique mix of artist and song choices, from Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” to Sam Cookie’s “A Change Is Gonna Come” to Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me.” T-Pain also covers the Black Sabbath classic “War Pigs” on the set. If you’re cringing at the thought…

After four long years of waiting, John Wick: Chapter 4 is upon us. I recall the first time I saw the original John Wick trailer in 2014. I didn’t think much of it ahead of time. Keanu Reeves hadn’t done much worth getting excited about for some time unless you dug The Lake House, The Day the Earth Stood Still, or 47 Ronin. Now he’s starring in a film about a guy getting revenge for his dead dog? As it turns out, John Wick was awesome. So awesome, we received three sequels with more on the way, including a Ballerina spinoff with Ana de Armas, and a TV series…

“If there are welfare concerns, you’ve got to intervene at the planning stages, when those facilities are being designed and constructed,” says Bob Fischer, a professor at Texas State University who works on insect welfare. There are many factors that farm designers need to take into account, including temperature, moisture levels, lighting, how crowded the insects are, and what they eat. For insect farmers, these are all engineering problems—they want to make sure as many bugs survive as possible and that the farms are cheap to run—but they’re also intricately tied to animal welfare.There is some good news here. Some…

Part of the brilliance of Tetris (the game, not the movie) is that it is elemental; it can be understood by anyone anywhere at almost any age. It doesn’t cast you as a hero named Jack Gameboy who had to stack bricks before the evil Rainer Von Tetris steals them so he can conquer the world. There’s no dialogue; there are no words at all. It’s just an ever-evolving puzzle. Tetris required no story, much less a backstory.So there’s almost something perverse to director Jon S. Baird’s Tetris movie in the way that it takes this pure, undiluted icon of popular culture and layers in all this mythology atop it. It purports to reveal the true(ish) story…

Credit: CC0 Public Domain Whether they like it or not, companies are increasingly judged by their impact on society and the planet, as well as their performance for customers and shareholders. Corporate social responsibility (CSR), therefore, is rapidly becoming a make-or-break element of branding. That means socially conscious companies must walk a fine line. Too much emphasis on perception management can prompt embarrassing and legally perilous allegations of greenwashing. But downplaying CSR activities, in what has come to be known as “greenhushing”, may foster the false impression that the company doesn’t care–and harm the brand. Russell Abratt, professor of marketing…
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…

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…
The Sundial Inn by Stephen John Ross The Sundial Inn (FriesenPress) by Stephen John Ross is haunting in the best sense of the word.

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. Before 2016, AIs couldn’t beat the world’s best Go players. But this changed with an AI called AlphaGo developed by London-based research firm DeepMind. 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…
