Well before Dune every premiered in theaters (which it ultimately did in the fall of 2021), Warner Bros. and HBO announced development on a prequel television series for the project. It’s been a long time since we heard much about the project — most of the news about the Dune-iverse has been focused on the upcoming sequel and rumors of Warner Bros. attempting to turn it into a long-running film franchise — but we’re now hearing that the prequel show has found its lead stars.Variety reports that Emily Watson and Shirley Henderson will play the two key roles in what’s called Dune: The Sisterhood, which is set 10…

The weasel-like mammals have thoroughly interbred with their domesticated relatives as they have spread out from a small population in Wales. European polecats (Mustela putorius) are thought to be the ancestors of ferrets (M. putorius furo), which were domesticated roughly 2000 years ago. Initially widespread in Britain, polecats were persecuted by humans as predators of poultry…

A Magnet is one of those things that always remain wondrous. As a kid, I used to chase a broken magnet with its repelling end and pretend it was a cop car chasing a robber. Now, it’s similarly satisfying to slap magnetic accessories to the back of an iPhone. It just clicks into place! No wires, screws, or clamps to deal with. It’s wonderful.MagSafe is the name of Apple’s accessory system that’s integrated into the iPhone 12, iPhone 13, and iPhone 14 range. A ring of magnets on the back of the phone (and in MagSafe-enabled cases) lets you attach…
Ever since the debut of The Crown, there has been much criticism about the marketing of the Netflix hit. Ahead of the fifth season premiere on November 9, the streaming service updated its trailer’s description on Youtube to read: “Inspired by real events, this fictional dramatisation tells the story of Queen Elizabeth II and the political and personal events that shaped her reign.” The change comes days after Judi Dench hit out at Netflix in a letter to Times on Thursday. Dench said the Netflix series from Peter Morgan “seems willing to blur the lines between historical accuracy and crude…

Various chemical reactions occur one after another in cells, and life is maintained as each step of the reaction is regulated without error. Recently, a Korean research team has developed a dual-catalyst system that can precisely control catalytic reactions like cells. A POSTECH research team led by professor In Su Lee, research assistant professors Amit Kumar and Nitee Kumari, and master’s student Jongwon Lim (Department of Chemistry) developed a nanoreactor that combines magnetic materials and metal catalysts. A nanoreactor combining two or more catalysts causes a continuous catalytic reaction to help synthesize precise chemicals. However, each step in the synthesis…

Marvel’s Black Panther, anchored by Chadwick Boseman’s stellar performance as King T’Challa, achieved immense critical and cultural acclaim in 2018. It earned over $1 billion at the box office and tallied seven Oscar nominations — including Best Picture — with wins for score, production design, and costume design. As a result, the Ryan Coogler film was bound to have a follow-up. However, Boseman’s death in August 2020 after a battle with cancer meant that his last live-action appearance as T’Challa would be in the 2019 hit Avengers: Endgame. (Boseman also lent his voice as Black Panther for the Disney+ series…

[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for Love Is Blind Season 3 Episodes 1-4.] Love Is Blind contestants sometimes complain of unfair edits, but Season 3’s Andrew doesn’t have much room to complain, at least not for Episode 3. After Nancy rejected Andrew’s proposal, the 30-year-old smooth talker seemed hurt by the rejection, but his solo interview after leaving the pod proved her intuition was spot on, as Andrew faked tears on camera to drum up sympathy from viewers. But what he likely didn’t expect was that the producers would leave the behind-the-scenes planning in the final cut. “Men have…

Following a four-day trial, the jurors said that Cardi (real name Belcalis Almánzar) did not violate Kevin Brophy’s rights with the bawdy cover of her 2016 mixtape Gangsta Bitch Music Vol. 1, which featured an image that he claimed made it appear he was performing oral sex on the now-superstar.

But Carter says that in the midst of the process, his fellow inmate became so debilitated with dementia that the man could no longer function well enough to complete the paperwork. Within a few months, Carter says, this prisoner was incapacitated, lying in bed with arms outstretched over his head, calling for help.

I knew Styles would treat us to something spectacular, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain in a midnight-blue, flared-trouser suit and cornflower pointed-collar shirt, accessorised with white shoes, retro sunglasses (all by Gucci, naturally), gold rings, and a pastel manicure. Pleasing indeed. Then, there’s fashion darling and, in my opinion, one of the A-list’s freshest dressers, Florence Pugh, who took the naked-dress trend to the next level with her off-the-shoulder Valentino Haute Couture creation of tulle and sequins. As a fellow petite girl, I fully support her choice of stacked-platform, bow-adorned heels. Then, there’s the film’s director,…
