Cadillac's V-Series.R was the brand's first racing car to return to the 24 hours of Le Mans in more than 20 years. After success in the North American IMSA GTP class, the car went on to win a podium at the legendary French endurance race. Getting there was not easy. To know just how difficult it was, you can watch Cadillac's new documentary about it. Called No Perfect Formula, the film follows Cadillac Racing in its quest to win races on both sides of the Atlantic. The automaker released a trailer promoting the movie on Thursday, which details not only the racing, but the design, development, engineering, and testing of the V-Series.R. This latest class of hypercar regulations in IMSA and WEC has produced the most exciting sports car racing in years. A documentary following any of the respective teams would be an interesting one. Getting to see the inside story behind the only American team racing in the highest tiers of motorsport is certainly a treat though. No Perfect Formula debuts for free on Samsung TV Plus as well as on Hagerty's Facebook page on May 31st. https://www.motor1.com/news/719003/no-perfect-formula-cadillac-documentary/

Psocoptera (/soΚΛkΙptΙrΙ/) are a paraphyletic group of insects that are commonly known as booklice, barklice or barkflies.[1] The name Psocoptera has been replaced with Psocodea in recent literature, with the inclusion of the former order Phthiraptera into Psocodea (as part of the suborder Troctomorpha).[2][3][4][5] These insects first appeared in the Permian period, 295β248 million years ago.[citation needed] They are often regarded as the most primitive of the hemipteroids.[6] Their name originates from the Greek word ΟαΏΆΟΞΏΟ (psokhos), meaning "gnawed" or "rubbed" and ΟΟΞ΅ΟΞ¬ (ptera), meaning "wings".[7] There are more than 5,500 species in 41 families in three suborders. Many of these species have only been described in the early twenty-first century.[8] They range in size from 1β10 millimetres ( 1 / 32 β 13 / 32 in) in length. The species known as booklice received their common name because they are commonly found amongst old booksβthey feed upon the paste used in binding. The barklice are found on trees, feeding on algae and lichen. Anatomy and biology Psocids are small, scavenging insects with a relatively generalized body plan. They feed primarily on fungi, algae, lichen, and organic detritus in nature but are also known to feed on starch-based household items like grains, wallpaper glue and book bindings.[9] They have chewing mandibles, and the central lobe of the maxilla is modified into a slender rod. This rod is used to brace the insect while it scrapes up detritus with its mandibles. They also have a swollen forehead, large compound eyes, and three ocelli. Their bodies are soft with a segmented abdomen.[10] Some species can spin silk from glands in their mouth. [11] They may festoon large sections of trunk and branches in dense swathes of silk.[12] Some psocids have small ovipositors that are up to 1.5 times as long as the hindwings, and all four wings have a relatively simple venation pattern, with few cross-veins. The wings, if present, are held tent-like over the body.[10] The legs are slender and adapted for jumping, rather than gripping, as in the true lice. The abdomen has nine segments, and no cerci.[11] There is often considerable variation in the appearance of individuals within the same species. Many have no wings or ovipositors, and may have a different shape to the thorax. Other, more subtle, variations are also known, such as changes to the development of the setae. The significance of such changes is uncertain, but their function appears to be different from similar variations in, for example, aphids. Like aphids, however, many psocids are parthenogenic, and the presence of males may even vary between different races of the same species.[11] Psocids lay their eggs in minute crevices or on foliage, although a few species are known to be viviparous. The young are born as miniature, wingless versions of the adult. These nymphs typically molt six times before reaching full adulthood. The total lifespan of a psocid is rarely more than a few months.[11] Booklice range from approximately 1β2 millimetres ( 1 / 32 β 3 / 32 in). Some species are wingless and they are easily mistaken for bedbug nymphs and vice versa. Booklouse eggs take two to four weeks to hatch and can reach adulthood approximately two months later. Adult booklice can live for six months. Besides damaging books, they also sometimes infest food storage areas, where they feed on dry, starchy materials. Although some psocids feed on starchy household products, the majority of psocids are woodland insects with little to no contact with humans, therefore they are of little economic importance. They are scavengers and do not bite humans.[13] Psocids can affect the ecosystems in which they reside. Many psocids can affect decomposition by feeding on detritus, especially in environments with lower densities of predacious micro arthropods that may eat psocids.[14] The nymph of a psocid species, Psilopsocus mimulus, is the first known wood-boring psocopteran. These nymphs make their own burrows in woody material, rather than inhabiting vacated, existing burrows. This boring activity can create habitats that other organisms may use.[15] Interaction with humans Some species of psocids, such as Liposcelis bostrychophila, are common pests of stored products.[16] Psocids, among other arthropods, have been studied to develop new pest control techniques in food manufacturing. One study found that modified atmospheres during packing (MAP) helped to control the reoccurrence of pests during the manufacturing process and prevented further infestation in the final products that go to consumers.[17] Classification In the 2000s, morphological and molecular phylogenetic evidence has shown that the parasitic lice (Phthiraptera) evolved from within the psocopteran suborder Troctomorpha, thus making Psocoptera paraphyletic with respect to Phthiraptera.[18][19] In modern systematics, Psocoptera and Phthiraptera are therefore treated together in the order Psocodea.[20] Here is a cladogram showing the relationships within Psocodea, with the former grouping Psocoptera highlighted:[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psocoptera

Nottingham Forest have moved on despite disappointment that their appeal against a four-point deduction failed, says manager Nuno Espirito Santo. Forest lost their appeal against breaching the Premier League's profit and sustainability Rules (PSR) this week, with an independent three-person board upholding the original decision. It means they remain in 17th place, three points above the relegation zone with two games to play. βWe were all disappointed. We had the hope and the belief they [the independent appeal board] could give us points back. But the decision is over,β said Nuno. βWe spoke about it with the players, about how this is the reality, this is what we have, this is what we have to face. Letβs focus on ourselves, because it [safety] is in our hands. "Since the beginning, when there was the possibility of a points deduction, we have always faced it the same way - what we have to focus on is ourselves and on our job. Itβs in our hands. We have already moved on. β In March an independent commission found Forest's losses over three years to 2022-23 breached the threshold of Β£61m by Β£34.5m. They were the second top-flight team to be penalised for PSR breaches after Everton lost 10 points in November, which was reduced to six on appeal. Last month, Nuno called the situation at the bottom of the table "a mess" while they waited for an appeal verdict, adding that it was damaging the league's integrity. Defender Ola Aina also believes the resolution of the issue, after Forest were charged in January, finally gives the squad clarity in their fight against the drop. They host Chelsea on Saturday knowing victory would seal survival if Luton fail to win at West Ham. "The energy around the club was like it has been forgotten about anyway, especially among the players. We didn't really talk or think about it - we were just thinking about getting points as we normally would," Aina told BBC East Midlands Today. "It feels good that it's in our hands. We can take control of that. I don't think [it is nervy], I think the boys enjoy the task. I really enjoy going out there and having to get something. That's the joy of football. "It would be fantastic [to secure Premier League survival] and I do think we'll do it. It will be fantastic to have that bit of relief, whether that's this week or next week." https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/clm3eepeplgo

Society often considers men to be the perpetrators of domestic violence. In truth, though, women can be violent, too. If your partner is violent with you, understand that that's abuseβand it's absolutely not okay. Your partner should uplift and love you, not make you feel unsafe. We'll teach you about your rights, about how to protect yourself, and about how to get help. Read on to learn everything you need to know. Establish safety first. If your spouse acts violently towards you or anyone else in the home, the first thing you need to do is get yourself (and any other innocents) to a safe place. This may be a locked room somewhere else in your home, a neighbor's house, another family member's home or your local police station.[1] If she comes at you, try to shield yourself from harm as much as possible without retaliating as this can cause you to be considered a perpetrator, too. If you have children in the home, alert them to head to your "safety zone" whenever shouting or other signs of violent behavior takes place. If you believe you are in danger, call the emergency services immediately.[2] Confide in someone you trust. The first step in getting out of a potentially harmful situation is often just letting others know you are in an abusive relationship and you need support and help. Beyond telling someone you trust, it can be helpful to ask them to assist in helping you find a way to leave. You generally need to gather resources, copies of documents and other items as you prepare to leave. A trusted friend can store these items for you. Gather any items you may need to leave like your own cell phone, a separate bank account and legal ID so you are not forced to stay in the home. Leave the relationship or home if you can. Research your options as far as filing for separation, custody and other legal matters so you can coordinate as needed. If there are children in the home, make a plan for all of you to leave safely, if possible. This plan needs to take into account local laws about custody and what needs to occur so you can take the children with you if that is what you want.[3] Because abuse often follows the same cycle, you may be able to time leaving during a time where your partner thinks everything is βnormalβ and perhaps less likely to think something is going to happen. If you have to leave during the active abuse, beware this is the time you are most likely to be faced with possible false charges of you being the abuser, or even of getting hurt. Reader Poll: We asked 279 wikiHow readers whoβve been victims of abuse, and 65% agreed that in order to maintain safe boundaries, it's important to block your exβs number and social media accounts after leaving the relationship https://www.wikihow.com/Handle-a-Violent-Girlfriend-or-Wife

A court in Iran has sentenced acclaimed movie director Mohammad Rasoulof to eight years in prison and flogging for national security crimes, his lawyer said on Wednesday. In a statement on social platform X, Babak Paknia said the court found Rasoulofβs films and documentaries to be βexamples of collusion with the intention of committing a crime against the security of the country.β The court also imposed an unspecified fine and ordered the confiscation of Rasoulofβs property, Paknia added. CNN has reached out to Iranian authorities for comment. Rasoulof won a Golden Bear for best film at the Berlinale festival in 2020 for βThere Is No Evilβ and his film βA Man of Integrityβ was recognized for a βCertain Regardβ honor at Cannes in 2017. The writer-directorβs latest work, βThe Seed of the Sacred Figβ is due to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in France next week. Ahead of the filmβs release, the director and his production team faced pressure from the Iranian government, his lawyer has alleged, writing last week on X that some actors had been interrogated and barred from leaving the country by officials. According to Paknia, some also alleged they were asked by officials to tell Rasoulof to withdraw the film from the festival. Paknia also wrote last week on X that it was unclear whether Rasoulof would be able to travel to Cannes to attend the screening of his film. In 2022, an Iranian court sentenced Rasoulof to one year in prison and banned him from making films for two years on the charge of βpropaganda against the system,β according to Human Rights Watch. Iranian authorities have previously arrested him multiple times and confiscated his passport because of his work, HRW said. In a statement, Iranβs Independent Filmmaker Association criticized the latest sentence handed to the director. βOnce again, the judiciaryβs verdict against Mohammad Rasoulof proved that the law is only a playground for stubbornness and revenge in the legal system contaminated by government jurisprudence,β it said. https://edition.cnn.com/2024/05/09/middleeast/iran-rasoulof-prison-sentence-flogging-intl/index.html
