Female Mongooses' Mating Behavior Rivals That Of Any Reality Show Housewife

Description

Banded mongooses could give some tips to reality show TV producers on how to engineer sizzling plot lines. According to CNN, when a female banded mongoose looking to mate with a male from a rival gang, she employees a deeply crafty method to hide those lying eyes. She does it by starting fights--and using the violence as a smokescreen. Banded mongooses are small, cat-like creatures found in small groups in some parts of Africa. The territorial animals rarely leave the groups they are born into. As such, group members are often closely genetically related. Michael Cant is a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Exeter's Centre for Ecology and Conservation. He says the females start fights between groups to gain genetic benefits from mating with outsiders. However, it takes a toll on the rest of the group. We've known for some time that banded mongoose groups often engage in violent battles -- and now we know why. Michael Cant, a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Exeter's Centre for Ecology and Conservation, said in a statement.

  • Audi brings VR experience platform to CES 2023 - holoride in-car entertainment

    The brand with the four rings has delivered. At the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Audi announced it would transform its vehicles into an experience platform for virtual reality (VR). Selected models have been “holoride-ready” since the summer. Audi will return to CES Las Vegas to offer media professionals and trade show visitors current content and a new VR game through “experience rides”. Following the launch in Germany, the VR entertainment offering will become available in other European markets next year.Audi is the first car manufacturer in the world to bring virtual reality entertainment by holoride to series production. At CES 2023, visitors can experience rides in the rear of an Audi e-tron and e-tron Sportback. The Audi Hub at the Waldorf Astoria will be their starting point.Behind holoride is a new technology that adapts the virtual content to the car’s driving movements in real time. For example, if the vehicle takes a right turn, the spaceship in the virtual world will also fly to the right. If the car accelerates, the spaceship speeds up, meaning a ride in the car becomes a multimodal gaming event. An added bonus is that by synchronizing the user’s visual and felt experiences, holoride reduces the risk of motion sickness, which many passengers experience when watching movies or other dynamic content in a moving car.

  • Life Imitates Art: Indonesian Con Man Poses As Female Hollywood Power Players

    Hollywood loves a good con artist story, but a man who excelled at imitating powerful women may have hit a little too close to home. Newser reports the FBI has just announced the arrest of a suspect believed to be the 'Con Queen of Hollywood.' Hargobind Tahilramani would impersonate prominent women in the industry and pitch bogus projects to actors and Hollywood gig workers. In turn, they would shell out cash on the promise of being reimbursed. For instance, Gregory Mandarano was duped into traveling to Indonesia multiple times in 2015, believing he was working with a rep from the legit China Film Group. Instead, he lost about $70,000 paying for drivers, translators, and 'fixers,' which was never reimbursed. Among others, Tahilramani posed as Kathleen Kennedy of Lucasfilm, former Paramount boss Sherry Lansing, and Rupert Murdoch's ex-wife, Wendi Deng.
