Aaron Pierre leads Lanterns as John Stewart, a young Green Lantern in training, while Kyle Chandler plays veteran Lantern Hal Jordan. Pierre worked up the crowd by talking his affinity for the character. “If I had the choice to choose any character in the DC Universe , I would still choose John Stewart,” said the actor. “I would chose John every time.” Pierre said that less than 20 percent of the show was shot on the Warner Bros. lot. The rest was all over the state. And the cast and crew became a family. Pierre said he was doing pushups with the transport crew. “You can feel the family, you can feel the unit…whatever happens, we poured our hearts into this,” …

Joyce Kozloff, the renowned Pattern and Decoration artist and founder of the feminist magazine Heresies (1977–93), has revealed herself to be a founding member of the feminist action group Guerrilla Girls. She made the disclosure in an interview published July 22 in Art Journal Open. The Guerrilla Girls collective was formed in 1984 in response to the exhibition “International Survey of Painting and Sculpture” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, which included the work of 169 artists, fewer than 10 percent of whom were women. Using the tagline “the conscious of the art world,” the Guerrilla Girls’s anonymous members embarked on a poster campaign targeting institutions and figures in the art world whom they felt were responsible for the exclusion of women and non-white artists from mainstream exhibitions and publications. Related Articles “We decided to call ourselves the Guerrilla Girls, wear fishnet hose and short skirts, call out the worst misogynists in the art world, appear publicly in masks, like avengers,” Kozloff told her interviewers, curators Helena Reckett and Maura Reilly.  “A …

Handheld breath detector reveals when the body starts burning fat

Handheld breath detector reveals when the body starts burning fat

Published by Jenni Sidey

A handheld, smartphone-guided detector measures breath acetone, a marker of fat burning, in about 90 seconds. Tests on 12 healthy adults showed the device closely matched laboratory mass spectrometry across 312 breath samples. The sensor tracked metabolic changes caused by intense exercise, high-carbohydrate meals, ketogenic meals, fasting, and longer dietary interventions. The technology could support home monitoring and help personalize care for obesity, diabetes, epilepsy, and other metabolic conditions. A single breath can reveal when the body has shifted toward burning fat, but reading that signal has usually required bulky laboratory equipment. A handheld detector now aims to bring the same metabolic insight into homes, clinics and everyday routines. The smartphone-assisted device measures acetone, a volatile molecule released in breath when the body relies more heavily on fat for fuel. It delivers a result in about 90 seconds and closely matched laboratory mass spectrometry across hundreds of breath samples. Researchers from ETH Zurich described the system in the journal Device. They designed it to detect subtle changes in fat metabolism that many consumer breath analyzers …

Out in theaters now, the Oscar-winning director’s latest epic features an all-star cast of Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron. While the film is an adaptation of Homer’s famous poem about Odysseus’s perilous journey home after the 10-year Trojan War, Nolan took major creative liberties, including making Eumaeus blind. In the original text, Odysseus’s faithful swineherd and friend, has no visual impairment. However, for the movie, Leguizamo wore special opaque contact lenses to portray Eumaeus as having been blinded by advanced cataracts. Recalling the difficult task of playing a blind man, the Carlitos Way star said he “could not see” for up to 14 hours a day while on set. John Leguizamo stars as Eumaeus in ‘The Odyssey’ …

And she’d be like, ‘Who, me?’” © Peter MacdiarmidAmy passed away in 2011 at the age of 27 “She didn’t have confidence. Hence the alcohol,” the 72-year-old explained. “I think it’s the same with many, many addicts with alcohol. The alcohol takes away the pain.

The Big Bang Theory star reveals character was almost entirely different

Published by Daniella Wilson

HBO Max’s Stuart Fails To Save The Universe is taking the titular comic book store owner from The Big Bang Theory and thrusting him into the spotlight (as well as several different parallel universes). Longtime fans of the long-running sitcom will know Stuart Bloom (played by Kevin Sussman) as a well-meaning but often down-on-his-luck character, whose flailing attempts at romance saw him become one-time love rivals to customers, friends and Big Bang Theory lead characters Leonard (Johnny Galecki) and Sheldon (Jim Parsons) throughout the series run. But in an exclusive interview with Radio Times, Sussman reveals that his character was never meant to be as big as he became – especially not one that, one day, would have a TV series of his own. “I think originally, in the first episode that Stuart appears, he was more of like a straight [man], like a normal guy that was supposed to be a threat to Leonard, really. He had a business, and he was kind of charming, asks Penny out on a date…,” he explained. “[But] …
