Many people today worry about how to find time to keep fit and healthy
in the midst of their busy lives. Believe it or not, but this was also
a problem in ancient times. The physician Galen, who lived from around
129 to 216 AD, dealt with thousands of patients in the city of Rome.

The sweltering heat during Buddhist New Year calls for Thailand's
cooling khao chae, a fragrant and refreshing bowl of rice delicately
scented with flowers.By the time Songkran, Thailand's new year based
on the Buddhist calendar, arrives in April, the temperatures in the
Southeast Asian country are soaring. The sky is typically blue and
spotless, so reprieve under the shade of a passing cloud is
non-existent while the humidity is as thick as a fleece blanket. One
way to cool off is in the country-wide water fights that take place
during the annual celebrations (this year from 13-15 April), which
include water guns, buckets and coloured powder smeared onto the face
like war paint. Another way to celebrate and cool off is to eat khao
chae.

near Jupiter. And, as mission photos suggest, it’s not always about

Lucy mission, named after the famous 3 million year old hominid

Jupiter’s orbit that may be relics of the Solar System’s
formation. But the spacecraft made a pitstop at asteroid Dinkinesh on

'Elden Ring's DLC Is a Brutal, Beautiful, and Massive New Expansion

Even after 200 hours with Elden Ring, setting foot into the Land of
Shadow was enough to take my breath away. You enter the shadowy realm
through a decrepit cocoon and your first sight is a visual feast of
rolling black hills adorned with swarms of ghostly tombstones. Misty
castles loom in the background, and a ghastly fiery beast stalks the
ethereal cemetery. Three hours of playtime later it was clear that
Shadow of the Erdtree is the biggest expansion FromSoftware has ever
made. I’m also hopeful that it could be its best too. The story of
Shadow of the Erdtree is fittingly cryptic, and I only had the
faintest idea of what was going on with my initial visit. The
expansion will largely expand on the story and lore of the main game,
with a particular emphasis on Miquella the Kind, an Empyrean and son
of Marika who mysteriously vanished. In The Land of Shadow, Miquella
and his followers seem to be locked in a brutal conflict with a fiery
godlike being named Messmer.

Star Wars' Most Experimental New Show is the Shot in the Arm the
Franchise Needs
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=11623&nl=daily]

On Dec. 10, 2020, Kathleen Kennedy announced 10 Star Wars series as
part of Disney’s 2020 Investor Day presentation. Some, like Andor
and Ahsoka, actually managed to make it to the platform. Others, like
Rangers of the New Republic and A Droid Story have been either
canceled or indefinitely delayed. Some, like Lando, were transformed
into future movies. Now, four years later, the last of these series is
set to premiere — and it’s the most experimental and galvanizing
of the lot. Helmed by Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland, The
Acolyte finally explores a previously unseen time period in the
franchise: the High Republic, which is set a century before everything
else we’ve seen in Star Wars canon. The result is a noir-esque
series that paints an entirely different light on the parts of Star
Wars that seemingly had been unquestioned and redefines the very
standards by which we define what makes Star Wars so good in the first
place. It may be the last series in that presentation to come to
fruition, but it’s the start of a new Star Wars era — and one
that’s more than welcome.

Nobody ever made them like this! On June 8, 1984, the genres of
science fiction, horror, and comedy were forever blended when writers
Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis teamed with director Ivan Reitman to
create Ghostbusters. Although the franchise has produced several
sequels and spin-off animated TV shows, the only thing fans can agree
on when it comes to bustin’ is that the original film, more than any
of the others, is the one that makes us feel good. Some might have a
soft spot for Ghostbusters II, and the newer sequels have their
merits, but the first movie has never been topped.Now, on its 40th
birthday weekend, the film that started it all is back in movie
theaters for a very limited time. Here’s why Ghostbusters was such a
huge summer blockbuster hit, and how to catch it in theaters again.

Just as vinyl records made a comeback in the Spotify era, physical
media is returning amid the success of streaming. Blu-ray collectors
are getting the last laugh: while streaming is convenient, libraries
are constantly shifting, and streaming originals are erased whenever a
platform needs to save money. Even purchasing digital content can
leave your ownership of that media up for debate. The only way to have
guaranteed access to media is to own a physical copy. Netflix and
Warner Bros. can erase a streaming title, but they can’t take a
Blu-ray from your bookshelf. Naturally, physical releases are
attractive to creators too. In a 2023 Tumblr post responding to a fan
question, prolific horror director Mike Flanagan said that while he
wanted to release physical copies of his complete works for Netflix,
getting the streamer onboard was an uphill battle.

A group of desperate humans in space are stalked by vicious aliens who
reproduce by infiltrating bodies, and bursting out through the chest.
In the end, it looks like one woman (Cailee Spaeny) is the last hope
of exterminating these creatures, who are as relentless as they are
terrifying. If this all sounds familiar, it should. The new trailer
for Alien: Romulus is aggressively paying homage to both Alien (1979)
and Aliens (1986), and, in the process, utterly sidestepping the
confusing continuity questions raised by the last two movies in the
franchise.With Romulus, the Alien franchise isn’t doing a full
reboot, but in terms of vibe, there does seem to be a massive reset
button getting pressed here. Here’s why the next Alien movie looks
terrifying, and a little bit safe at the same time.

Don’t get too excited about Summer Game Fest. I’m not just sharing
my opinion — though it’s also that — this is coming straight
from host Geoff Keighley himself. Ahead of this week’s games
showcase, Keighley hosted a live Q&A session on Twitch to answer
questions about the show and tried to set audience expectations a
little lower in the process.In the hour-long Twitch stream, the former
journalist turned event host took questions from fans about Summer
Game Fest, covering everything from the show’s history to the minute
details of this year’s presentation. Before diving into questions
from chat, Keighley laid out a more general overview of the show,
noting that it isn’t going to be a year full of groundbreaking
reveals. Keighley noted that it will be a “lighter” year for
announcements. When asked how high he’d rate his excitement for the
event on a scale from one to ten, measuring gamer-friendly hype, he
said an eight out of ten. It’s a far cry from most similar
showcases, which try their best to build up anticipation beforehand,
rather than deflating it.

Amazon's Yakuza TV Series Should Be an Easy Slam Dunk Adaption
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=11623&nl=daily]

It feels like we’ve entered a golden age for video game adaptions
between the likes of Fallout, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Sonic the
Hedgehog, The Last of Us, Arcane, and many more. The list of not just
good but genuinely great adaptions keeps on growing, and hopefully
we’ll have a new one to add to that list this year. Amazon has
announced a live-action adaption of Sega’s cult classic series
Yakuza, and it already has a release date of October 25. Seeing the
show launch so soon is surprising, but if there’s one video game
series that feels like the perfect fit for television, it’s Yakuza.
It could, and should, be a slam dunk for Prime Video, which is already
riding high on the success of the Fallout series. If you’re
unfamiliar, the Yakuza series follows a notorious gangster named
Kazuma Kiryu, also known by his nickname The Dragon of Dojima. Most of
the series chronicles Kiryu’s rise in Japan’s largest criminal
organization, the Tojo Clan, and then his unsuccessful efforts to
leave the Yakuza life. From the initial details, it seems the show
will adapt the events of the first game across six episodes. Just like
the game, the story will have a time jump, taking place in 1995 and
then 2005.

Game of Thrones began as a cultural behemoth and then ended as a
cautionary tale as what could happen when a show goes on for too long.
By Season 8, the source material had long been overlapped and the
action had become so bloated that wrapping up every storyline was
going to feel rushed no matter what. Now, as the Game of Thrones
universe begins to grow, there seems to be an air of caution: spinoffs
are being delayed, canceled, or moved to animation. But one spinoff,
the smash hit House of the Dragon, is finding success in telling the
story of the Dance of the Dragons, the most brutal and bloody civil
war in Westeros history. The recently appointed showrunner, Ryan
Condal, knows the reputation that lies behind him and is working on
House of the Dragon with the greater narrative in mind.

It's been nearly 30 years since Michael Bay’s Bad Boys first brought
Martin Lawrence and Will Smith together as a bankable pair of
bickering, brotherly Miami cops. But in those three decades, the
famously bombastic franchise has shown remarkable restraint by only
releasing a total of four movies. But thankfully, the latest, a
muscular sequel directed by Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi
and Bilall Fallah (now going by the moniker Adil and Bilall), shows
that the franchise is still more ridin' than dyin'. An uptempo,
deliriously enjoyable sequel, Bad Boys: Ride or Die is a movie so
kinetic it feels like your own ticket could light on fire.Picking up
some years after Bad Boys for Life, hotshot Miami detectives Mike
(Smith) and Marcus (Lawrence) are well into middle age. Their bodies
are prone to betraying them than before, and both have arcs centered
around kinds of heart failures. But the two are once more engaged by
police business, in this case their late mentor Captain Howard (Joe
Pantoliano, reprising his role in a capacity amounting to vlogs and
hallucinatory medicine ads) having his named dragged in the mud when
he's posthumously accused of corruption and collusion with drug
cartels. Mike and Marcus – the latter spiritually renewed after a
near-fatal heart attack – soon become fugitives on the lam, along
with Mike's estranged criminal son Armando (Jacob Scipio).

Elden Ring is a massive game filled with countless dungeons, bosses,
and secrets to take on. But it’s about to get even bigger with the
Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, which adds on a brand-new region, over ten
bosses, new weapon types, and more. It’s bound to have some of the
biggest challenges in Elden Ring. But just like everything else in
Souls games, Shadow of the Erdtree is difficult, even to access. You
won’t be jumping into the DLC from a menu, no that’s far too
simple. There’s a very specific point that you’ll need to have
reached in the game to even think about starting Shadow of the
Erdtree. We’ll help walk you through what that is, and the easiest
way to reach it. If you’ve already beaten Mohg and Radahn, simply
interact with the hand outside of the cocoon to start Shadow of the
Erdtree.

The continuing mission of the crew of the USS Protostar is coming to
Netflix at warp speed. After previously having been yanked from
Paramount+, the nascent animated Star Trek spinoff series Star Trek:
Prodigy is staging a massive comeback. After its apparent cancellation
in 2023, it was later announced that Netflix would pick up the
distribution of the series. And now, Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2 is
almost here. Here’s when the new episodes will hit Netflix, how many
episodes there will be, and how to catch up on this Trek show if you
missed it the first time around, back in 2021.Set in the late 24th
century — after Voyager, but before the flashbacks in Picard — the
events of Prodigy mostly focus on a group of rag-tag teenage aliens
who find an abandoned experimental Starfleet ship called the USS
Protostar. Because all these kids are working in a horrible
slave-mining situation (think Temple of Doom in space) they use the
downed Protostar to escape. Armed with the life-changing Trek
technology of the universal translator, this crew can suddenly
understand each other, and, in search of a better life, leave the
Delta Quadrant to find the Federation and Starfleet.

Star Wars: Hunters, the free-to-play, third-person hero shooter set in
Disney’s sci-fi universe, releases on Nintendo Switch and mobile
platforms today. It’s a solid competitive live service game,
that’s both easy to pick up and fun to play. Given how saturated the
market of hero shooters is, Hunters will ultimately sink or swim
depending on how much audiences are willing to give it a shot.
Borrowing its settings from one of the most beloved franchises in
modern history does give it a major leg up on the competition. But
it’s how Hunters decided to exist within the well-documented Star
Wars canon that makes it an exciting addition to the established lore.
It’s an addition that subverts one of the more annoying tropes in
the franchise.

Apple’s Vision Pro may be the most expensive way to get into mixed
reality, but that doesn’t necessarily make it the best. In fact,
people still recommend Meta’s Quest 2, which came out in 2020, as a
starting point.However, a string of rumors suggests Meta’s next
mixed reality headset will be a more affordable version of its Quest
3. There hasn’t been any official announcement yet, but some
accidental listings recently indicated that the rumored headset could
be called the Quest 3S. We’re expecting more info at Meta Connect

“The Jedi live in a dream. A dream they believe everyone shares. If
you attack a Jedi with a weapon you will fail. Steel or laser are no
threat to them. But an acolyte, an acolyte kills without a weapon. An
acolyte kills the dream.” These words close The Acolyte Episode 1,
and they’re a terrifying thesis for a Jedi/Sith clash unlike any
we’ve seen in Star Wars canon. But as powerful as these words are,
we have no idea who said them. Mae’s master, the Sith she’s
seeking vengeance for as part of her “final test,” is unknown even

In the first Star Wars film back in 1977, Obi-Wan made it clear that
“the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old
Republic.” But in the even older Republic, about a century before
Obi-Wan was even around, the Jedi had another job beyond guarding
peace and justice. Turns out, the other major job of the Jedi was to
be a kind of Force cop — a person who keeps an eye on those who use
the Force in secret. In the first scene of the first episode of the
latest Star Wars series, The Acolyte, one quick line from Jedi
Master Indara (Carrie-Anne Moss) changes the nature, philosophy, and
purpose of the Jedi, maybe forever. Spoilers ahead for The Acolyte,

Ever since Yoda murmured “There is another” in The Empire Strikes
Back, Star Wars has been enamored with the idea of twins. That Luke
Skywalker and Leia Organa turned out to be long-lost siblings was a
bit of an afterthought on George Lucas’ part — Luke’s twin was
originally going to be a different, unintroduced character — but
their bond set the tone for a trope that’s echoed throughout the
saga. In the non-canon Legends timeline, there were Jacen and Jaina
Solo, the firstborn twins of Leia and Han Solo. They might be the
best-known Star Wars twins apart from Leia and Luke, though others
have popped up across television, film, and comic canon. Apart from a
one-off episode of Star Wars: Visions, however, no story within the
saga has made a concerted effort to focus on twins, and how their
relationship can be deepened (or complicated) by the Force. No story,
that is, until The Acolyte, Lucasfilm’s latest live-action series,
and the most radical update to the timeline in decades.

Scavengers Reign, now freshly available on Netflix (and ripe for a
second season), is full of monsters. From the opening few minutes,
it’s clear the show’s creators put a lot of effort into concocting
beasts of all shapes and sizes, ones that would stand out even amid
the crowded genre of “science-fiction creatures.” However, this
approach to fauna (and flora) extends far beyond littering the planet
Vesta with creepy-crawly window dressing. Scavengers Reign invents a
full-fledged ecosystem from the various critters and their habitats,
and it makes the show all the more effective.The animated series is
most frequently compared to the original Alien, and it’s easy to see
why. They both share a sci-fi/horror atmosphere, one where intricate
wonder is just as prominent as lurking dread (with the former often
giving way to the latter). Alien’s Xenomorph, a creature that
evolves from a deadly symbiotic attachment to an large, unstoppable
hunter, has become the preeminent space monster of the modern age and
one can find traces of its influence not only in Reign but throughout
the genre. But while the Xenomorph remains terrifying, we’re rarely
granted the chance to see what it can do when it’s not hunting down
humans.

What if modern-day high schoolers talked and acted like they were in a
‘50s hardboiled noir? It’s an intriguing premise for a short film,
but it doesn’t seem like a gimmick strong enough to sustain a
two-hour feature. And yet, with his 2005 directorial debut, Rian
Johnson not only manages to turn a unique idea into a thoroughly
engaging feature film, he actually transcends a potentially labored
gimmick to produce something wholly original. Shot on a $450,000
budget at Johnson’s own high school, Brick is a high-concept indie
in every respect. The film draws inspiration from the works of
Dashiell Hammett (the author of such novels as The Maltese Falcon and
The Thin Man) and transplants them into a contemporary California
suburb populated by bored, privileged teens. The one outsider is
Brendan Frye (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a Sam Spade-esque loner who finds
himself drawn into a sinister conspiracy after receiving a cryptic
phone call from his ex-girlfriend Emily (Emilie de Ravin) the day
before she’s found dead. Tracing Emily’s steps, Brendan encounters
kingpins, teenage femme fatales, and a missing “brick” at the
center of it all.

concern. Gone are the days when it was solely the preoccupation of
Depression-era grandparents and self-righteous dumpster divers. But
it’s not like we’re reviving the can-do frugality of the pioneers
— when was the last time you saw a house with a root cellar? For
most people, pickling and canning are a hobby they embrace after
taking a Groupon class at that crafting store downtown and abandon
after the first half-sour. Even as fighting food waste has entered the
mainstream consciousness, 38 percent of all food in the United States
is simply thrown away, and the average household tosses out almost
$2,000 a year in wasted food.Thankfully, corporations and
entrepreneurs have noticed America’s recent (and admittedly
half-hearted) swing back toward food efficiency. We’re finally
seeing products designed to help people do their part to eliminate the
plague of food waste and stretch their dollars.

Side-scrolling beat ‘em up games used to be all the rage. Back when
arcades dominated gaming, beat ‘em ups like X-Men, Teenage Mutant

classic beat ‘em ups, including some revivals of popular retro
series.In recent years, we’ve seen games like Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge and River City Girls pick up the torch
from old-school beat ‘em ups. One of the best games of the beat
‘em up resurgence is Streets of Rage 4, a direct sequel to a series

[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=11623&nl=daily]
In this short, the US video essayist Evan Puschak (also known as the
Nerdwriter) makes his case that Alfred Tennyson (1809-92) is the
‘great English poet of grief’. Combining biography and literary
criticism, Puschak details how the sudden death of Tennyson’s best
friend at a young age moulded him into an extraordinary writer on a
subject that he surely wished he didn’t understand so acutely. In
particular, Puschak centres his analysis on the poem Break, Break,
Break (1842), which, in just 16 lines, traces the trajectory of a life
from boyhood to the grave. Through this, Puschak argues, the work
captures the feeling of an ‘incessant reaching for something
that’s not there’ and the jarring indifference of the greater
world that characterise bereavement.

Cryptocurrency is a digital representation of a value or of a right.
It can be transferred and stored electronically using distributed
ledger technology. This is technology that allows multiple parties to
share and update a common ledger (record) without relying on a central
authority. Records of transactions are called blocks and they make up
a blockchain. The origin of cryptocurrency can be traced to 1989 when
DigiCash, a company in the Netherlands, launched a digital currency
called “eCash”. Although eCash didn’t survive, it influenced
blockchain developments. The first and the best known cryptocurrency,
Bitcoin, was launched in 2009 by an anonymous person or group using
the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. Another is Ether, used on the Ethereum
network. All other cryptocurrencies aside from Bitcoin are called
Altcoins and each has unique features.

transients”: some erupt only once, never to be seen again, and
others flicker on and off in predictable patterns.We think most radio
transients come from rotating neutron stars known as pulsars, which
emit regular flashes of radio waves, like cosmic lighthouses.
Typically, these neutron stars spin at incredible speeds, taking mere
seconds or even a fraction of a second to complete each rotation.

Two questions are commonly asked after televised election debates have
taken place. The first is “who won?” This is the favourite
question of journalists, pollsters and spin doctors. It is rooted in a
conception of politics as battle, all the more exciting when there are
metaphorical blood stains left on the TV studio wall.“Who won”
evaluations focus on knockout blows, smart, pithy, memorable
one-liners, gaffes and flash-poll verdicts. Behind the question is an
assumption that a one-hour televised exchange of views might rewrite
the electoral odds. Excitable party activists run around the press
room during and immediately after the debate claiming that their
leader stole the show. In truth, most studies of televised leaders’
debates around the world have reported that they rarely change
viewers’ settled preferences.

People with greater cognitive reserve seem to be better at staving off
dementia symptoms, but when stress levels are high or persistent, they
can weaken this reserve by making it less likely that they will
socialise and less likely that they will be physically active – both
of which are known to protect against dementia. Stress itself has also
been linked to faster cognitive decline and an increased risk of
developing Alzheimer’s disease.
