And people continue to make new art about him — including an upcoming biopic directed by Ang Lee, and starring Ang Lee’s son Mason Lee in the lead role.Ang Lee’s acclaimed films include Eat Drink Man Woman, Sense and Sensibility, The Ice Storm, Lust, Caution, Brokeback Mountain, Life of Pi, and, of course, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, one of the great martial arts films ever made.

A group of animal biologists and chemists at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (ITbM) at Nagoya University in central Japan, in collaboration with Toyota Boshoku Corporation and Niigata University, have identified the pheromone involved in the mechanism that triggers puffer fish to spawn on beaches using moonlight. Their findings are reported in Current Biology. As described by Aristotle, people throughout history have been fascinated by the moon. Over the centuries, scientists have identified several connections between the lunar cycle and the behavior of living beings, including migration, mating, and feeding. However, while the lunar rhythm may be fundamental to life,…

What makes an audiobook the best? Do they have to have famous narrators or an ensemble cast? Are the most popular audiobooks the best, or do they have to be award-winning to be the best? Audiobooks have come a long way since their first iteration in 1932. Back then, the American Foundation for the Blind created book recordings on vinyl records, which only held about 15 minutes of speech per side.…
Thony got in everyone’s way as she tried to stop Arman and Nadia from murdering Robert, only putting people in more danger. Thony asked Garrett to follow Arman, and then she gave Robert CPR after he went into cardiac arrest after Nadia poisoned him on The Cleaning Lady Season 2 Episode 10. TV Fanatics Jasmine Peterson, Whitney Evans, and Laura Nowak discuss how Thony’s choices will affect her relationships, the progression of Arman and Thony, and whom we think is in danger. How will Thony’s relationships be affected now that she’s betrayed both Arman and Garrett? Jasmine: Oh, Thony, baby.…
Construction has started on the largest telescope array on Earth. The Square Kilometre Array (SKA), which will contain hundreds of radio antennae spread across two continents, is now under construction in both South Africa’s Karoo region and Western Australia’s Murchison Shire. Together, the two sites – named SKA-Mid and SKA-Low, for the types of radio frequencies they will primarily detect – will enable high-resolution imaging of the whole sky, according to the Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), the organization that oversees the telescope. The sensitivity of the telescope will allow scientists to pick up even faint signals left over from the earliest…
The temperature may have only just dropped to somewhere between very cold and really really cold, but that doesn’t mean our fashion minds haven’t been thinking about jackets, coats and general cosy layers for a while now.It’s our job to keep on the cutting edge of all things trend-related but we wanted to tell you about a jacket that has been going strong since, well, two years ago. In fact, we probably don’t even need to fill you in on it, since it’s been hard to avoid over the last couple of years. The Frankie Shop Quilted Ripstock Jacket was spotted on every fashion editor and influencer last year, so…
Intel on Thursday cut its full-year profit and revenue forecast and warned it would lay off staff, but a stronger-than-expected performance at its personal computers segment helped send shares higher. The company’s shares jumped over 5 percent in after-hours trade. They have slumped roughly 47 percent so far this year, underperforming both the S&P 500 index and the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index.The company’s Chief Executive Pat Gelsinger said the cut to the fourth quarter outlook reflected economic uncertainty expected to last into next year, and that the company was taking time to ramp up sales into data centers, which dropped…
Tool are no strangers to putting out weirdly imaginative and elaborate paraphernalia for their records (just look at video screen and speakers that came with Fear Inoculum’s physical CD release). So, it only makes sense that they’re about to commemorate 2006’s 10,000 Days with a fetus skull statue, right?The band unveiled the limited edition “Fetus Skull Maquette” – as they call it – this past Friday (Dec. 9) via social media. As Blabbermouth noted, a maquette is “a model for a larger piece of sculpture, created in order to visualize how it might look and to work out approaches and…

Let’s break it down. Misinformation is incorrect or misleading information. Misinformation is not deliberate — you might see a tweet from a reliable source share…
While Joe Mantegna hadn’t been expecting to step back into his role as Special Agent David Rossi after Criminal Minds ended a 15-season run in 2020, he also wasn’t entirely shocked it happened. “There was really no indication at the time when we ended,” he tells TV Insider in the video interview above. “But I’ve been in this business long enough to know anything’s possible and sometimes things happen for a reason and I think this was a good enough reason and so here we are.” Here is Criminal Minds: Evolution, a 16th season with the members of the Behavioral…
Patient-derived parathyroid organoids (PTOs) could pave the way for future physiology studies and drug-screening applications, as shown in a study published on October 27 in the journal Stem Cell Reports. “We are the first group in the world that was able to isolate parathyroid stem cells and maintain these cells in our lab as organoids for an extended period of time,” says co-senior study author Schelto Kruijff of the University Medical Center Groningen. “Our research introduces the PTO as a new model for research on parathyroid diseases.” Parathyroid diseases are characterized by alterations in the excretion of parathyroid hormone, leading…
Photography, Getty Images. Welcome to Texture Talk, a column that celebrates and deep dives into the dynamic world of curly hair, from crowns of curls that are free flowing to strands that are tucked away in a protective style. By Lauren Knowles Date December 1, 2022 This article was originally published in January 2022. As the seasons change, so too do our curls. The unforgiving nature of the Canadian winter means taking refuge inside our dry, heated homes and putting our curls (which spend the season fighting the friction of wintry accessories from toques to on-trend balaclavas) up into a…
The Best headphones under $100 are harder to find than you might think. Here at WIRED, it’s part of our job to listen to music all day, often on exceedingly fancy and bonkers-expensive models. We have playlists for testing bass, for assessing detail, for dance parties—we get way into it. But believe it or not, we like testing the cheap stuff just as much. It’s like a treasure hunt to find the ones that pack in the most tech for the money. And they’re getting better and better every year. That doesn’t mean our work is done; etailers are still overflowing…
Count John Leguizamo among the people who aren’t happy about the casting in Chris Pratt’s upcoming Super Mario Bros. movie. In a recent interview with IndieWire, the actor — who played Luigi in the 1993 live-action film — expressed his disappointment at the decision to not cast another actor of color in his role. Instead, Charlie Day will step into his role of Luigi in the upcoming animated film. “I’m O.G. A lot of people love the original,” Leguizamo told IndieWire. “I did Comic-Con in New York and in Baltimore, and everyone’s like, ‘No, no, we love the old one, the…

Bode (Max Thieriot) is determined to not be like he used to in order to secure an early release on Fire Country, but that’s easier said than done. In TV Insider’s exclusive sneak peek of the December 2 episode, he and inmate Rebecca (Fiona Rene) not only exchange stories about what led them to fire camp but also, while cleaning up at a scene, may have just come across the exact item that’s going to cause some trouble for his crew in “Happy to Help.” “More fires get you out faster. Obviously that’s why we’re all here. But there are…
This year’s flu shots appear to be a “very good match” to the circulating influenza strains, health officials say. However, even though flu season got off to an unusually early start, vaccination rates, especially among adults, are lagging those seen this time last year. “I can tell you firsthand: This year’s flu season is off to a rough start,” Dr. Sandra Fryhofer (opens in new tab), the board chair of the American Medical Association and an internist, told reporters during a news conference (opens in new tab) Monday (Dec. 5). “We’ve forgotten how bad the flu can be. But this year’s…
As we get older, it’s only natural that we lean towards hair changes. If you’ve sported a long, straight look for most of your adult life, it’s totally normal to want to chop it all off into a shorter style as you start to creep towards your 50s. This is normal not just because tastes and fashions change but also because, much like our skin, our hair ages too. “At the scalp, we may find dryness, sensitivity and slackness, and in the hair, we may see dullness, brittleness and thinning,” says Nicky Lazou, Kérastase expert and celebrity hairstylist. For these reasons, switching up your signature…

Everyone makes mistakes, so you’d be lying to yourself if you said you’ve never pronounced a band name incorrectly. Whether it had a unique spelling or was a different language, we’ve all been there.

On average, students experience an estimated total of 102 alcohol-related consequences, such as blacking out, being hung over, or missing work or school, due to drinking across their four years in college, according to a new study led by Penn State. The research also revealed that students who think their parents disapprove of the consequences of drinking are likely to experience fewer negative consequences from drinking during college. “We often think of peers as having an influence on drinking behaviors, but we found that parents can make a difference, even after their child has left home,” said Kimberly Mallett, research…

The methods have been applied to confirm the existence of rare high-altitude meteors as well as to measure space debris from the Kosmos-1408 satellite. On November 25, Daniel Kastinen defends his doctoral thesis. “My primary…
I love autumn. As summer comes to a close, the mere mention of browning leaves and creamy hot cocoa is enough to send me rummaging through my wardrobe to rediscover all my cosy cold-weather clothes. Goodbye, cotton dresses and strappy sandals. While I’m always careful not to unnecessarily add to my ridiculous mountain of knitwear, I can’t help but take a peek at which fresh trends are emerging this time of year and how my favourite designers are interpreting them.No doubt about it: This year’s trends are good. So good I’ve composed a fantasy wish list that would likely cost the value of a small house to fulfil.…
“Has NHTSA worked independently, or in collaboration with cities or other local governments to limit or prevent Chinese-owned companies from collecting sensitive information from American infrastructure, including information about sensitive government or military facilities, and subsequently sharing such information abroad?” Pfluger writes.China has certainly had that anxiety about American-made smart and electric vehicles. Earlier this year, for example, Beijing placed firm restrictions on where Teslas could drive, particularly around military installations, amid high-level Communist Party meetings.Pfluger highlights in his letter that China could use “autonomous and connected vehicles as a pathway to incorporate their systems and technology into our country’s infrastructure.” The…
Jay Leno remains hospitalized, but is in “good” condition after suffering second and third degree burns when one of his vintage cars exploded last weekend. In an interview with Inside Edition, Dr. Peter Grossman, the physician treating Leno at Grossman Burn Center, said that the 72-year-old comedian sustained “fairly significant” burns to his face, hands, and chest. Leno already had one skin graft surgery, with a second procedure scheduled for later in the week. He’s also receiving “very aggressive” hyperbaric oxygen therapy — a treatment that decreases swelling and bacteria. Grossman anticipates that Leno will make a full recovery, but…
