You can actually ask Siri to reboot your iPhone if you have iOS 16 installed. Here's how it works and it's mega convenient. No Need to Press Any Key Combination - Just Ask Siri to Reboot Your iPhone for You if You're Running iOS 16 Why is this convenient, you ask? Because if you own one of the many modern iPhones, you know that pressing and holding the power button doesn't bring up the slide-to-unlock screen. Instead, you have to press several keys one after the other before you can do that. Thankfully, Apple lets you avoid that finger ninja stuff by going to Settings > General > Shut Down after which you can simply slide to power down the iPhone. But, even this method is not convenient because both of them lets you shutdown your iPhone and not actually reboot it. If you want to reboot it, you have to shut it down and power it back again manually. Not exactly a reboot, but a shut down followed by a power on. In iOS 16 for iPhone, you can actually reboot your iPhone by just asking Siri. The only thing you have to tap on is a 'Yes' button on the display. Here's how you do it. Tutorial For this to work, you must have Siri enabled and working on your iPhone and obviously running iOS 16. If you don't have Siri enabled, go to Settings > Siri & Search and enable Siri from here. Once Siri has been enabled, simply press and hold the Home button or the Power button on your iPhone and then say 'Reboot my iPhone.' Siri will then ask if you want to restart this device - tap on Confirm or just say 'yes.' Your iPhone will reboot. See how convenient that was? Rebooting your device - whichever it may be - actually ends up fixing a lot of problems which we may not even realize. For example, the other day one of the USB-C ports on my MacBook Pro suddenly stopped working. A quick reboot fixed that issue and it was like brand new again. On my iPhone, I run into occasional app crashes which are usually fixed by a simple reboot. Even network related issues can be fixed by a quick restart. In other words, before you completely lose hope and decide to switch your ecosystem, try giving it a reboot, regardless of which device you have. Also, keep your operating system up to date at all times

The spotted prototype comes with a Snapdragon 855 with X50 modem for 5G support. The tipster has mentioned that “the device was super-secret and very few units made their way into the public”. The patent for the outward folding handset was first spotted way back in 2020. Meanwhile, the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro internal testing has reportedly begun in different countries in Asia. In a recent leak by tipster Kuba Wojciechowski via Twitter, the prototype of an outfolding Xiaomi smartphone has been spotted. As mentioned earlier, the prototype is said to come with a Snapdragon 855 with X50 modem for 5G support. The tweet also mentioned that the smartphone was “super-secret and very few units made their way into the public”. To recall, the patent for outward folding devices was spotted in 2020 by letsgodigital. Meanwhile, the Chinese company is heading to launch the Xiaomi 13 series and the the Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro internal testing has reportedly begun in different countries in Asia. The smartphones from the Chinese company are expected to launch in early 2023. Xiaomi 13 was reportedly spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website recently. The Xiaomi 13 and the Xiaomi 13 Pro have been tipped to be equipped with a triple rear camera setup along with a centre-aligned hole-punch cutout on the display to house the selfie camera. The Xiaomi 13 Pro is said to sport a 6.7-inch E6 LTPO display with a 2K resolution. The Xiaomi 13, Xiaomi 13 Pro could sport curved displays. The Xiaomi 13 is expected to measure 152.8 x 71.5 x 8.3mm, while the camera bump takes it to 10.3mm in thickness.

source Intel has issued a product change notification (PCN) which discontinues various 11th Generation Tiger Lake mobile processors. The retirees include several SKUs from the Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, Core i9, and Xeon W line-ups. Tiger Lake launched between 2020 and 2021, so they aren't long in the tooth. However, the 10nm processors have become obsolete now that Intel has 12th Generation Alder Lake and 13th Generation Raptor Lake line-ups in the company's ranks. The chipmaker isn't axing the entire Tiger Lake-H line-up. So far, the affected products are mainly Tiger Lake-H (45W) chips since demand has shifted to Intel's newer processor offerings. The discontinued SKUs range from the Core i5-11260H to the Core i9-11950H. Intel has included the Xeon W-11855M on the list. The Xeon W-11855M hexa-core processor is one of the only two Xeon Tiger Lake parts. The Xeon W-11955M Processor, which wields eight cores, is safe for now. There still seems to be some demand for Tiger Lake chips with IPUs (image processing units). Intel hasn't terminated models, such as the Core i7-11390H or the Core i5-11320H. Intel's partners can place final orders on the 11th Generation Tiger Lake processors by June 30, 2023. After that, however, the shipping date will vary depending on the model. For example, Intel will ship the Core i5-11500H, Core i7-11850H, Core i9-11950H, and Xeon W-11855M by April 26, 2024(opens in new tab). Meanwhile, the last shipment date for the remaining Tiger Lake SKUs is January 26, 2024(opens in new tab).

Intel had brought a couple of its 45W Tiger Lake chips to the desktop via the BGA route. Processors, including the Core i9-11900KB, Core i7-11700B, Core i5-11500B, and Core i3-11100B, were viable for vendors specializing in small form-factor (SFF) systems. Like the Tiger Lake-H chips, clients have until June 30, 2023, to put in the final orders, and Intel will ship the orders out before January 26, 2024. A few months ago, Intel had bid the company's 11th Generation Rocket Lake desktop processors. So naturally, the writings were already on the wall that Tiger Lake wouldn't be safe from the next cut. There aren't many Tiger Lake chips left, so the 10nm family of mobile chips will eventually cease to exist. It shouldn't matter to consumers, though, as faster mobile Alder Lake and Raptor Lake alternatives are already on the market.

Final Fantasy 16 has been rated in Brazil, leading credence to rumors that preorders will go up in early December and that a release date trailer is coming soon. The rating was first noticed by Gemetsu. The game has been rated as "not recommended for children under 16." According to a translation via Insider Gaming, the game includes sex scenes that are "not fully shown" and plenty of violence including "blood, intentional deaths, torture...victims suffering" and even "hate crimes." Insider Gaming also reported last week that preorders for Final Fantasy 16 will go live on December 7 or 8. Its report suggests that this news along with a release date trailer will be shown off at The Game Awards, which airs on December 8, though it acknowledges that Square Enix or Sony could be planning their own event. This speculation does fit in with previous statements from developers. In an interview with Famitsu earlier this month, main director Hiroshi Takai said the game was "95%" finished. Producer Naoki Yoshida said he expected the exact release date to be revealed soon. Final Fantasy 16 is planned to release sometime in Summer 2023. The most recent trailer showed off epic battles between the mystical Eikons. The game will be a temporary PlayStation exclusive for six months after the release date

After a successful stint of mobile revenue with Fire Emblem Heroes, Nintendo is partnering with DeMa for even more mobile games. Forming a new studio, Nintendo Systems, the development team will create new games on Android and more. Opening in April 2023, the joint venture is said to “strengthen the digitalization of Nintendo’s business”. While not all of its mobile ventures are successful, there have been a number of high revenue titles. For example, Nintendo’s Fire Emblem Heroes has proven extremely po[CENSORED]r. The title has earned the company over $1 billion in microtransactions over its entire release. Nintendo Systems will revive the Big N’s partnership with DeNA. The business partnership started back in 2015, but has since slowed down in recent years. Following disappointing revenue on titles such as Mario Kart Tour, no new titles have released since 2019. Instead, Nintendo has partnered with other development studios. In 2022, Nintendo continued a partnership with Niantic for Pikmim Bloom, an AR exploration game like Pokémon Go. Nintendo’s renewal of this partnership may be due to the slowing down of Nintendo Switch hardware sales. In the company’s financial report, it was revealed that Switch sales have seen a 19.2% decline year on year. It would seem that mobile games will be Nintendo’s backup plan… again. With no sign of the Nintendo Switch successor on the horizon, mobile revenue will once again prop the company up

(Image credit: ZA/UM) On March 14, Eurogamer(opens in new tab) and GamesIndustry.biz(opens in new tab) reported on a ZA/UM press release that declared the resolution of its legal dispute with founding member and Disco Elysium producer Kaur Kender, while also indicating that Disco Elysium project lead Robert Kurvitz and lead artist Aleksander Rostov's wrongful termination suit was dismissed over lack of evidence. Since then, Kurvitz and "Sander Taal" (GamesIndustry.biz indicates that this is a pseudonym used by Rostov) have responded, stating that they will continue to pursue legal action. Meanwhile, ZA/UM released Disco Elysium's first content update since December 2021's "Jamais Vu" patch. 2000s: ZA/UM initially coalesces as an artist collective in Estonia. 2013: Robert Kurvitz publishes Sacred and Terrible Air, a novel and the first commercial work set in the Elysium setting. 2016: First public reveal of Disco Elysium as "No Truce With the Furies" (archived on Reddit) with predicted EOY 2016 release. Producer Kaur Kender seems to have been involved since earliest stages, with eventual investment from Tõnis Haavel and eventual CEO Ilmar Kompus. Around this time, ZA/UM becomes a formalized game developer. 2019: Disco Elysium launches to critical acclaim. March 2021: Disco Elysium: The Final Cut, a definitive edition of the game releases. End of year 2021: Project lead Kurvitz, lead artist Aleksander Rostov, and writer/Final Cut lead writer Helen Hindpere "involuntarily" leave the company. October 2022: Disco Elysium editor and former ZA/UM member Martin Luiga reveals the trio's departure, subsequently confirmed by ZA/UM and a letter from Rostov co-signed by the other two. Trio alleges unfair ousting, as well as misappropriation of €4.8 million from ZA/UM to purchase majority share in company by CEO/investor Kompus and fellow investor Haavel with support from investor/Disco Elysium producer Kaur Kender. Kompus, via ZA/UM, alleges toxic management style, belittling of female employees, and other abuses by Kurvitz and Rostov. No specific incidents or details elaborated, but GamesIndustry.biz(opens in new tab) cites an unknown number of anonymous sources to at least partially corroborate the narrative. Kender sues Kompus and ZA/UM over misappropriation of €4.8 million, Kurvitz and Rostov file their own, separate suit against the company. December 2022: Kender withdraws suit against ZA/UM, citing return of funds by Kompus, with no elaboration as to why he had the €4.8 million in the first place. This is the first public development in the story since ZA/UM CEO Ilmar Kompus paid €4.8 million back to the company and Disco Elysium producer Kaur Kender withdrew his own lawsuit against the developer(opens in new tab). In ZA/UM's initial press release this week, it claimed that Kender has since paid Kompus for his legal fees, and GamesIndustry.biz shared a seemingly contrite message from the writer and entrepreneur: "I am thankful for the years of trust and cooperation with the team, which made Disco Elysium a successful project," Kender told GamesIndustry.biz. "After leaving my full-time role, I filed a lawsuit which I realized, after seeing the facts, was misguided." ZA/UM further stated that Kurvitz and Rostov's "unfair dismissal" claim against the company has been dropped due to "lack of evidence," but this only seems to be part of the full case against it as the company still faces what it characterizes as a "series of baseless allegations from former employees" that will "fall apart under legal and factual scrutiny." A representative for Kurvitz and Rostov shared a four-part statement with PC Gamer in response to ZA/UM's claims. "The press release is wrong and misleading in several respects and seeks to unfairly paint us–Robert Kurvitz and Sander Taal, the remaining minority shareholders in ZA/UM–as mere disgruntled employees," the statement begins. Kurvitz and Rostov further deny that their employment claims against ZA/UM were withdrawn due to lack of evidence. "They were not. We see our dismissal as part of a larger campaign against us and will pursue legal options accordingly." The pair also note the strange circumstances surrounding the €4.8 million withdrawn and much later returned to ZA/UM by CEO Kompus, the subject of Kaur Kender's lawsuit. "Kender’s lawsuit was based on the misuse of ZA/UM’s funds (4.8 million euros) by the majority shareholders Kompus and Haavel to increase their own stake in the company." Kurvitz and Rostov explain. "In the press release, Kompus and Haavel admit to this misuse, arguing only that the money has been 'paid back to ZA/UM'. Paying back stolen money, however, does not undo the crime; here, it does not undo the majority that Kompus and Haavel have illegally gained in ZA/UM." "Kompus and Haavel silenced Kender on this matter, but they will not silence us," The pair concludes. "Unlike Kender, we have not participated in the looting of ZA/UM, and Kompus and Haavel have no power over us." The final point paints Kender as an adversary of Kurvitz, Rostov, and Hindpere (the latter of whom is not a party to the lawsuit, but has indicated support of her fellow developers). In a Medium post from Rostov co-signed by the other two last year, the artist states that the ousting and misappropriation of €4.8 million was "perpetrated by Ilmar Kompus and Tõnis Haavel with support from Kaur Kender, another minority shareholder."

North Korea launched this Thursday an "unidentified ballistic missile" into the Sea of Japan (called the East Sea in the two Koreas), according to the South Korean Army, and which led the authorities on the Japanese island of Hokkaido to temporarily activate the alert before the possibility that the projectile hit near it. The projectile was registered after the launch by Japanese radar systems, and the Japanese Ministry of Defense reported that Pyongyang launched "what appears to be a ballistic missile", which immediately pointed out that it could be a long or medium-range weapon. scope. It would be the fifteenth weapons test carried out this year by the North Korean regime, which has responded with several of them to the maneuvers that Seoul and Washington are carrying out these days in the south of the peninsula. North Korea already launched a Hwasong-17 intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the longest potential range in its arsenal, on March 16 into the Sea of Japan and, like a Hwasong-15 (the second longest range) which also fired on February 18, the shell landed in waters southwest of the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. Precisely, the Hokkaido authorities have activated the anti-aircraft alert shortly after the launch due to the possibility that the projectile impacts around the island, where more than five million people live. The Japanese authorities updated this alert at around 8:20 a.m. local time (11:20 p.m. on Wednesday) noting that there was no longer a possibility that the missile would fall on the island of Hokkaido or in its vicinity. Previously, the company that operates the railway lines in that prefecture, JR Hokkaido, suspended all its operations shortly before 8 a.m. local time while the Japanese Ministry of Transportation alerted ships and planes circulating in the area about the possible impact. of the missile. The Japanese Coast Guard indicated in turn that it expected the impact in the waters around Hokkaido from 8:00 a.m. (23:00 GMT on Wednesday), and later, at 8:19 a.m., indicated that it would have already fallen into the sea at an undetermined point. In the last month, Pyongyang has responded to the great spring maneuvers in Seoul and Washington -in which Tokyo has also occasionally participated- with various weapons tests, including those of a new nuclear-capable guided drone or torpedo. In turn, the regime displayed its tactical nuclear warheads for the first time, underscoring that it is focused on improving its short-range atomic arsenal for potential use against South Korea or neighboring countries such as Japan, which also host US bases.

Whale is a common name given to various marine mammals of the order Cetaceans. The term whale is sometimes applied to all cetaceans but more often it excludes dolphins and porpoises, which belong to the suborder Odontoceti (toothed whales). This order also includes the sperm whale, killer whale, pilot whale, and beluga whale. There is another species called baleen whales (in Latin: Mysticeti) and includes filtration whales that eat small creatures after hunting them, by filtering sea water through the comb structure in the mouth called baleen. This family includes the blue whale, the humpback whale, the bowhead whale, and the minke whale. All whales have forelimbs in the form of flippers, a horizontal tail, and nostrils on the top of the head. Humans have been hunting whales for centuries for their meat and as a source of valuable raw materials such as oil for lighting. humpback whale Anatomy Whales have torpedo-shaped bodies with inflexible necks, limbs modified into flippers, and a nonexistent external ear remnant. Whales also have large tails and flat heads, except for beaked whales. Whale skulls have small eye sockets, long suture points except for toothed whales and beaked whales, and eyes hanging on either side of their head. Whales range in size from the 2.6-meter (8.5-foot) long, 135-kilogram (298-pound) pygmy whale to the 34-meter (112-foot) long and 190-meter (210 short tons) blue whale. The blue whale is the largest creature on Earth. The size of many species that have sexual dimorphism favors the female more, as the females are larger than the males, with the exception of the sperm whale, whose males are larger than the females. Toothed whales, such as the sperm whale, have teeth with cells lined with ivory. Unlike human teeth, which consist mostly of enamel on the part of the teeth outside the gums, whale teeth have cementum outside the gums. Only in large whales is cementum eroded away from the tip of the tooth and enamel is visible. Baleen whales have bones made of keratin in addition to their teeth. Baleen whales have two blowholes, unlike toothed whales, which only have one. Respiration in whales consists of expelling air through the nostril in a strong, thick fountain, followed by inhaling fresh air into the lungs. The lungs of a humpback whale can inhale approximately 5,000 liters of air. The shapes of the blowholes vary between different types of whales, making them easy to identify. The heart of a whale weighs about 180-200 kg. Their hearts are 640 times larger than the human heart. The heart of the blue whale is also considered the largest heart among animals, and the walls of the arteries in the heart have been described as being as thick as the length of an iPhone 6 Plus mobile phone. All whales have a thick layer of blubber. In species that live near the poles, the skin can be up to 11 inches thick. This blubber can help increase buoyancy, which is beneficial to a 100-ton whale, and somewhat protective as predators would have a hard time getting a thick layer of blubber and the energy needed to fast when moving to the equator. Man used that fat in a way to protect him from the harsh climate. They can make up to 50% of a whale's body weight. Calves whales are born with only a thin layer of blubber, but some species make up for this with thicker layers of lint. Whales have a two- to three-chambered stomach, similar in structure to land animals. Baleen whales have a glandular stomach as an extension of their esophagus, which helps them digest food better. Whales also have gastric chambers and pylorus. the movement Whales have two fins on their forehead and a fin on their tail, and the flippers have four fingers. Although whales do not have fully developed lower limbs, some species such as the sperm whale and beaked whale have separate rudimentary limbs that may include feet and toes. Whales are very fast swimmers compared to dogs, which typically move at 5–15 knots, or 9–28 kilometers per hour (5.6–17.4 mph). Whales, by comparison, can swim at speeds of up to 47 kilometers per hour (29 mph). The sperm whale can reach speeds of up to 35 kilometers per hour (22 mph). Fusion of the neck vertebrae in whales, while increasing stability when swimming at high speeds, reduces its flexibility. Whales can't turn their heads. When swimming, whales rely on their tail fin to propel them through the water in a continuous motion. Whales swim by moving their tail fin and lower body up and down, propelling themselves through vertical movement, while using their flippers mainly for steering. Some species also emerge from the water, which may allow them to move faster. The skeletal anatomy also allows whales to be fast swimmers, as most species have a dorsal fin. Whales are adapted to dive to great depths. In addition to their streamlined bodies, they can slow their heart rate to conserve oxygen. They can also divert blood from endometrial tissues to increase water pressure to the heart and brain, among other organs. Hemoglobin and myoglobin in the bodies of whales store oxygen in the tissues of the body. Because whales have a lower concentration of hemoglobin than hemoglobin, many whales exhibit a behavior known as sounding before diving to great depths. In this behavior known as sounding, the whales stay close to the surface and make several dives to shallow depths; So that their bodies can re-store oxygen, and then make a sound while diving. the senses The whale's ear has specific adaptation mechanisms to the marine environment. The middle ear functions in humans to compensate for the low resistance of the outside air and the resistance of the cochlear fluid. There is no significant difference between the external and internal environment in whales and other marine mammals. Instead of sound passing through the outer ear to the middle ear, whales receive sound through the throat, which passes through a cavity of little fat before the inner ear. The whale ear is isolated from the skull by air-filled sinuses, which allow for greater directional hearing underwater. Toothed whales send high-frequency clicks from an oval-shaped organ called a melon. The melon's organ is made of fat, and the skull of any melon-bearing creature contains a distinctly shaped depression. The size of the watermelon varies between species the more they depend on it. For example, beaked whales have a small bulge on top of their skull, while sperm whales have a large melon on top of their skull. The whale's eye is relatively small for its size, yet it retains good eyesight. In addition, the whale's eyes open on both sides of its head, so that its vision consists of two fields rather than binocular vision like humans. Whale lenses and corneas can correct short-sightedness due to refraction of light. They also contain rod cells and cone cells, which means that they can see under dim and bright light conditions, but they have rod cells in a larger amount than cone cells. Whales, however, lack short-wavelength sensitive visual pigments in their cone cells, indicating that they have limited color vision unlike most mammals. Most whales have flat eyes, large pupils that constrict as they emerge to the surface to prevent damage, slightly flattened corneas, and a transparent membrane. These eye adaptations allow large amounts of light to pass through, so the whales get a very clear picture of the area around them. Whales also have glands on their eyelids and a layer of corneal epithelium that acts as a protective layer for the cornea. communication Whale vocalization likely serves several purposes. Some species, such as the humpback whale, communicate using melodic sounds known as whale vocalization. These sounds can be very loud, depending on the species. Humpback whales may only communicate using so-called clicks, while toothed whales use sonar waves, which may generate up to 20,000 watts of sound (+73dB) or +43dBW, and can be heard for many miles. Captive whales have sometimes been known to mimic human speech. Scientists have suggested that this indicates a strong desire in whales to communicate with humans. Since whales have a very different vocal mechanism, imitating human speech requires a lot of effort. Whales emit two different types of acoustic signals, which are called whistles and clicks: Clicks are rapid, broadband pulses used for echolocation in animals, although some lower frequency broadband sounds may serve a non-ecological purpose such as communication between beluga whales for example example. The pulses fire in a clicking train at intervals of 35–50 milliseconds, and these intervals between clicks are generally slightly larger than the round-trip time of the sound to the target. The second type is whistles, which are narrow band frequency signals, and are used for communication purposes such as phone calls. The intelligence of whales Whales are known to learn, cooperate, plan and grieve. The cerebral cortex of many species of whales contains elongated spindle neurons, which prior to 2007 were known only to exist in embryos. In humans, these cells are involved in social behavior, emotions, judgment, and theory of mind. The location of these elongated spindle neurons in whales is similar to that of humans, suggesting that they perform a similar function. Brain size was previously considered a major predictor of an animal's intelligence. Since most of the brain is used to maintain bodily functions, increasing brain-to-body-mass ratios may increase the volume of the cerebral cortex available for more complex cognitive tasks. Phonometric analysis indicates that mammalian brain volume measures approximately at ⅔ or 3/4 of the body mass. By comparing the brain size of a given animal with the expected brain size based on such an outgrowth analysis, a brain quotient is available that can be used as another indicator of an animal's intelligence. Sperm whales have the largest brain mass of any animal on Earth, averaging 8,000 cc (490 in) and 7.8 kg (17 lb) in mature males, compared to the average human brain averaging 1,450 cc (88 in) in mature males. Brain-to-body mass rates in some toothed whales such as beluga and narwhal whales are second only to humans. Young whales are known to engage in complex play behaviour, which includes things like producing an underwater airy vortex or bubble rings. There are two main ways to produce a bubble ring: quickly blowing a blast of air into the water and allowing it to rise to the surface, or forming a ring and swimming repeatedly in a circle and then stopping to spiral the air in, forming eddies. Young whales also seem to enjoy biting the vortex rings, so that they explode in many separate bubbles and then quickly rise to the surface, and some believe this is one of the whales' means of communication. Whales are also known to produce bubble nets for the purpose of foraging. Southern right whale Larger whales are also thought to be somewhat involved in the play. For example, the southern right whale raises its tail above the water and stays in the same position for an extended period of time in what is known as whale sailing. This is believed to be a form of play and is commonly seen off the coasts of Argentina and South Africa. Humpback whales among other species are notorious for this behaviour. life cycle Whales are fully aquatic, which means that their behavior at birth and courtship is very different from that of terrestrial and semi-aquatic creatures. Because whales are unable to go to land to protect their young, their fetuses are born tail-first. This prevents the fetus from drowning, either at or during childbirth. Whales pump milk into the mouth of their young to feed them. Being mammals, whales have glands that make milk for their young, which are weaned at 11 months of age. This milk contains high amounts of fats which are intended to accelerate the development of lipids. It also contains a lot of fat, which is similar in composition to toothpaste. Females give birth to a single young with a gestation period of about a year, followed by care for up to one or two years, and a maturation period of about seven to ten years, which varies between species. This mode of reproduction causes few whales to have offspring, but increases the likelihood of both whales surviving. Females referred to as cows are responsible for caring for their young, while males referred to as bulls play no role in caring for the young. Most baleen whales live in the poles. Therefore, this species migrates during the mating seasons to protect its unborn young from death due to frostbite. They stay there for a few months until their young develop enough blubber to withstand the very low temperatures at the poles. Young whales, referred to as calves until then, feed on the fatty milk of their mother. With the exception of humpback whales, the migratory season of whales is largely undefined. Most of them move from the Arctic or Antarctic to the tropics to mate, and to raise and educate the young during the winter and spring. Whales migrate back to the poles in the warm summer months, so the young can continue to grow while the mother can continue to eat, as she fasts in the breeding grounds. The southern right whale is the only exception to this type of life cycle. Whales migrate to Patagonia and western New Zealand, both of which are outside the tropics. sleep Unlike most animals, whales sleep conscious. All mammals sleep, but whales cannot afford to lose consciousness for a long time because they may drown. Since the ability to sleep in wild whales is limited, it has been recorded that toothed whales may sleep one side of their brains at a time, so they can swim, breathe, and avoid other predatory species and social contact during the sleep period. A 2008 study found that sperm whales sleep in an upright position below the surface of the water when diving to shallow levels generally during the day, as the whales do not respond to passing ships unless they are in contact, leading to the suggestion that whales may be sleeping during these periods of dives.

Chevrolet increased pricing on the Bolt EV and EUV by $900 and $600 respectively. The midyear price increases come mere months after Chevy dropped Bolt EV and EUV prices by $5900 and $6300 in June, making them the cheapest EVs in the United States for 2023. It's a shame Bolt prices are trending upward once more, but both vehicles remain enticing with the massive price cut in June, and with both vehicles qualifying for the full $7500 tax credit for EVs until at least March. Decision making can be tough, but it is still odd that after deciding in June it would dramatically reduce pricing for the Bolt EV and EUV—cutting them by roughly $6000 each—Chevrolet would decide barely six months later on a midyear price increase. Granted, the increases are small: the Bolt EV is going up by $900, to $27,495, and the EUV's price is increasing by $600, to $28,795. According to a statement by a Chevy representative, "Due to ongoing industry-related pricing pressures, the Chevy Bolt EV and EUV will see modest price increases starting in 2023, but we expect it to remain America's most affordable EV. Chevrolet remains committed in its long-standing role to provide true value. We expect to continue building the record sales momentum we saw in 2022."

One of the toughest aspects of building a new year fitness habit is finding the time. Even in our hybrid-working world, it can feel like carving out just 30 minutes a couple of times a week is an impossible ask. But everyone has five minutes: it’s about a third as long as people spend looking for something to watch on Netflix. And although five minutes might not seem like much, if you keep your efforts focused, you will start to see results – as well as building the foundations of a longer-term habit. So pick an area to work on and get the egg timer going. Posture Desk jobs tend to build bad posture, and not everything you do in the gym will help – the typical “bench bro” routine can lead to a forward hunch that will set you up for problems down the line. “Posture is really about back strength,” says Helen O’Leary, a physiotherapist and clinical pilates instructor. “The more the muscles in the back of your body work, the more they will hold you up against gravity.” Use these three movements in a circuit, doing each once. Prone press “A great mobility and prep exercise to start with at the end of your day,” says O’Leary. “Lie on your stomach with your hands by your chest and your nose hovering above the floor. “Press your pubic bone into the floor to create a stable base. Press down into your hands and imagine you are pressing the floor away – this will start to send your upper back off the floor. Pause with your lowest ribs on the floor, take a breath and then lower back down. As you improve, try lifting your hands at the top of the movement to see if you can hold yourself up.” Pilates swimming “Very much a progression of the prone press – this will test your endurance as well as your core control,” says O’Leary. “Start as before, this time reaching your arms and legs away from each other as if you’re being pulled apart in a tug of war. You should end up with both feet and hands off the floor. Pause when you are here, and make sure you are breathing – then start to ‘paddle’ the arms and legs from the shoulder and hip socket. Your body will rotate a little and this is totally fine. Ideally, build the length of time you are up towards 60 seconds.” Single leg kick “It’s great for posture, but this movement also includes strength work around your shoulders, and will mobilise your spine,” says O’Leary. “Plus, your legs get involved, making it an all-in exercise. Lie on your front and press yourself up on to your elbows to make a triangle shape with your forearms, with your hands still slightly apart. Press down into your pubic bone and extend and raise one leg away from you so that it starts to hover off the floor from your lower thigh onwards. Now try to keep that leg off the floor as you start to draw a long arc upwards and outwards with your toes, bending the knee as you do. Again, keep the thigh off the floor and extend the leg out behind you before lowering it to the floor. Repeat five times on each leg, if you can.” This is important for everyday life, but tackling it the old-school way – with hundreds of momentum-heavy sit-ups – isn’t efficient. Instead, remember that the real purpose of your core muscles is to keep you braced, whether you are carrying the shopping or doing a parallel turn on the ski slopes – so you need to focus on slow, controlled movements that will help them do their job. Do each of the three exercises below for 40 seconds, rest for 10-20 seconds, and repeat.Crunch “Although it’s an old exercise, when performed with correct form, the standard crunch is great, as it activates nearly all the muscles of the core,” says the personal trainer Jacqui Ward. “Lie on your back, keeping your knees bent and feet flat on the floor, making sure your lower back is also pressed into the floor. Engage your abdominal muscles to lift your head and shoulders off the floor. I like to increase the time under tension, while at the top part of the crunch, by pausing for a second, and then slowly lowering back to the floor with control, keeping those abs contracted. If you really must put your hands behind your head, don’t pull on your head or neck.” Bicycle crunch “Again, technique is everything on this movement,” says Ward. “Get into a regular crunch position, then lift both legs off the ground. Lift your right shoulder toward your left knee and simultaneously extend your right leg, then repeat on the opposite side without pausing. Make sure to move slowly and emphasise muscle contraction to get the most out of the exercise.” This emphasises your obliques more than the standard crunch, so it’s worth doing both. Side plank raise “A side plank is a great movement, as it will show up any imbalances between your two sides,” says Ward. “To start, lie on your side with one forearm on the ground, your hand slightly in front of your shoulder. Put your top leg either in front or on top of the ‘grounded’ leg. As you exhale, push into your hand and feet, and lift your hips up until you are in a diagonal line. Drop your hips down, then press into your hand and feet and lift your hips back up so that they are almost in line with your shoulder. Repeat this movement, slow and controlled rather than bouncing, for 20 seconds on each side – if it’s tough on your wrist, press your fingers into the floor and create a little dome in your palm.”

After trekking this summer through a narrow, sand-lined pass, NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover recently arrived in the “sulfate-bearing unit.” This long-sought region of Mount Sharp is enriched with abundant salty minerals. Scientists hypothesize that the minerals were left behind billions of years ago when the water dried up in streams and ponds. Assuming this hypothesis is correct, these minerals offer tantalizing clues as to how – and why – the Red Planet’s climate changed from being more Earth-like to the frozen desert it is today. Curiosity’s View of ‘Paraitepuy Pass’: NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover used its Mast Camera, or Mastcam, to capture this panorama while driving toward the center of this scene, an area that forms the narrow “Paraitepuy Pass” on Aug. 14, the 3,563rd Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS Years before Curiosity landed in 2012, the minerals were spotted by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, so scientists have been waiting a long time to see this terrain up close. Soon after arriving, the rover discovered a diverse array of rock types and signs of past water, among them popcorn-textured nodules and salty minerals such as magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt is one kind), calcium sulfate (including gypsum), and sodium chloride (ordinary table salt).They selected a rock nicknamed “Canaima” for the mission’s 36th drill sample, and choosing was no easy task. Along with scientific considerations, the team had to factor in the rover hardware. Curiosity uses a percussive, or jackhammering, rotary drill at the end of its 7-foot (2-meter) arm to pulverize rock samples for analysis. Worn brakes on the arm recently led the team to conclude that some harder rocks may require too much hammering to drill safely. “As we do before every drill, we brushed away the dust and then poked the top surface of Canaima with the drill. The lack of scratch marks or indentations was an indication that it may prove difficult to drill,” said Curiosity’s new project manager, Kathya Zamora-Garcia of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “We paused to consider whether that posed any risk to our arm. With the new drilling algorithm, created to minimize the use of percussion, we felt comfortable collecting a sample of Canaima. As it turned out, no percussion was needed.” The mission’s scientists look forward to analyzing portions of the sample with the Chemical and Mineralogy instrument (CheMin) and the Sample Analysis at Mars instrument (SAM). Difficult Driving The journey to the sulfate-rich region took Curiosity through treacherous terrain, including, this past August, the sandy “Paraitepuy Pass,” which snakes between high hills. It took the rover more than a month to safely navigate in order to finally reach its destination. While sharp rocks can damage Curiosity’s wheels (which have plenty of life left in them), sand can be just as hazardous, potentially causing the rover to get stuck if the wheels lose traction. Rover drivers need to carefully navigate these areas.

The map consists of a very large main city, mountains and wild prairies, marine areas, airports, poor suburbs, farms, villagers, fast lines, motels and a military base. More than before to buy recreational or commercial supplies and other cars and clothing and many things and also contribute to the stock market or trade, there will be three characters playable and their stories will be interconnected, but the player will not be able to play them at first, and But the game will follow the system of unlocking characters according to the story as in the previous parts to open other islands. There are three main characters (Michael - Franklin - Trevor) that you will not be able to play with them at the beginning, but the player can use all the above in the story according to the common events between them. The game provides a system of change between the characters similar to the game system: Driver: San Francisco, and you can switch characters at any time and when you use one of them will not stop the other characters to exercise their daily lives and accomplish missions and earn money from any available source (Example: In the game view we saw the change of characters while The camera moved to Michael and he practiced cycling with his son hobby and the move to Trevor was in the middle of a hunt with the police. And each character has its own characteristics (Michael: can slow down the time while shooting as in Max Ben 3 - Franklin can slow the time while driving as needforspeed - traver can double the damage to the enemies in combat and reduce the impact to 50%) http://i.imgur.com/6fnmjIS.png the story Not much information is revealed sweet, preferably discovered by yourself, it is worth mentioning that the director and writer of the story promised a solid story and rich events and no less phobias best Hollywood works and dramas, and each character will have some independent elements in the story as well as their main stories are interrelated and many of the characters will Get to know them while playing. http://i.imgur.com/MMKM8Q1.png Robbery missions One of the best missions in the IV was the bank robbery and Rockstar realized that the public wants more of this kind of missions, so they made sure that the game offers a quantity of robberies and thefts in different ways, and developed a wonderful system of bank robbery and a strategy devoted by the player, It is possible to form a complete team of the task and the number of people, cars and intrusion method either quiet and tactical way or clear offensive way and also choose everything from the positions of the characters and the task of each person and their weapons and clothes and details and after finishing the task is divided spoils on the crew of theft and also stated that most of the robbery missions will not beN main tasks of alfalfa.
