'The Hunt for Gollum' will use de-aging VFX on returning LOTR actors

Director Andy Serkis confirmed that de-aging technology will be used in The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, in which he also reprises his iconic role as Gollum. Serkis declined to specify which returning actors will be digitally rejuvenated, but familiar faces from the original trilogy are expected to appear younger than audiences remember.

Is de-aging technology a good idea for the new Middle-earth film?

Psychologist: Returning to an ex after 20 years works only under one condition

Michaล‚ Wiล›niewski's decision to reunite with his second wife Marta "Mandaryna" Wiล›niewska after two decades has sparked debate about rekindled relationships. Psychologist Barbara Wesoล‚owska-Budka warns that the passage of time alone does not change how people function in a relationship. Success is most likely for those who have genuinely worked through their past issues and changed as individuals.

Can returning to an ex after many years lead to a successful relationship?

Oklahoma palaeontologists find soft tissue in a 450-million-year-old crinoid fossil

Scientists at the University of Oklahoma have discovered perfectly preserved soft tissue inside a crinoid fossil approximately 450 million years old โ€” more than 200 million years older than the dinosaurs. Researchers describe this type of find as a once-in-a-million discovery. The preservation offers a rare window into the biology of early Palaeozoic marine invertebrates.

Navy expert: US 20% cargo toll in the Strait of Hormuz is legally questionable

Jennifer Parker, Adjunct Fellow at UNSW Canberra and former Royal Australian Navy officer with over 20 years' experience, says the US blockade and 20% cargo toll in the Strait of Hormuz raises serious legal and diplomatic questions. Parker has led multinational maritime operations in the Middle East. She shared her analysis on Bloomberg's "Insight with Haslinda Amin."

Does the US have the right to impose a toll in the Strait of Hormuz?

Dispute over Warsaw Chopin Airport parking tender to go before National Appeals Chamber

A company taking part in the multi-million-zloty tender for modernising the car park at Warsaw Chopin Airport argues that the requirement to integrate new equipment with the existing IT system limits competition, and has referred the matter to the National Appeals Chamber (KIO). Polish Airports (PPL) refuse to modify the tender conditions. The KIO will now rule on the dispute.

Should Polish Airports modify the Chopin Airport parking tender conditions?

Details of the format have not yet been disclosed, but the platform is actively working on the project. It marks another attempt by the streaming giant to draw on a popular board game as the concept for an original production.

US bars direct return from DR Congo over Ebola fears, requires 21-day quarantine

The Trump administration has barred US citizens in the Democratic Republic of Congo from returning directly to the United States due to Ebola fears. Before re-entering the country, they will be required to undergo a 21-day quarantine in a third country. The measure was reported by Reuters.

Is a 21-day third-country quarantine the right response to Ebola risk?

US government moves $297M in seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime

The US government transferred $297 million worth of seized Bitcoin and Ether to Coinbase Prime. The move has raised questions about President Trump's pledge to establish a Bitcoin reserve. However, deposits to Coinbase Prime do not in themselves confirm that a sale is imminent.

Should the US sell its seized crypto rather than hold it as a reserve?

Using pumice without soaking feet first makes cracked heels worse, not better

Applying a pumice stone to dry feet without first soaking them causes the skin on heels to harden even more rather than soften. The critical step many people skip is soaking feet in warm water for several minutes before using the pumice, which softens the skin and prevents micro-abrasions. Regular moisturising after the treatment is equally important for lasting smooth skin.

Nintendo reportedly considering Switch 2 OLED model to replace LCD screen

A report by ZDNet Korea claims Nintendo is currently considering applying OLED technology to a new revision of the Switch 2, which launched with an LCD screen. Rumours about an OLED variant have circulated since the console was first revealed. A near-term release appears less likely given rising tech costs and a recent Switch 2 price increase.

Should Nintendo release a Switch 2 OLED model?

Poland Has a Few Years to Become a European AI Infrastructure Hub

Dominik Leszczyล„ski, founder and CEO of DL Invest Group, warns that Poland must speed up administrative decisions and build a national digital infrastructure strategy to become a regional AI data-centre hub. The race to build AI infrastructure is one of Europe's biggest investment contests. Poland has the assets but the window of opportunity is narrow.

2003's 'Cold Mountain' modernised The Odyssey 23 years before Nolan's film

Charles Frazier's 1997 novel "Cold Mountain" blended Homer's Odyssey with Civil War America, and director Anthony Minghella adapted it into an Oscar-winning film for Miramax in 2003. The film is being recalled as Christopher Nolan prepares his own Odyssey adaptation. It predates the better-remembered Coen Brothers film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" (2000) in drawing on the same ancient epic.

Is 'Cold Mountain' a better Odyssey adaptation than the Coen Brothers' 'O Brother, Where Art Thou?'

Tusk government considers NBP-rate mortgages โ€” monthly payments would be higher

The Polish government is considering a legislative change that would allow banks to base mortgage interest rates directly on the National Bank of Poland's reference rate instead of WIRON. According to money.pl simulations, borrowers would pay higher monthly instalments under both modelled scenarios. The relevant provision could be added to a bill already being processed in parliament.

Is linking mortgages to the NBP reference rate a good deal for borrowers?
