The Walt Disney Co. is making several changes at its domestic theme parks in order to improve the public perception of its business The Walt Disney Co. is making several changes at its domestic theme parks, including some easier reservations, in order to improve the public perception of its business. Among the change s: it will cease charging for overnight self-parking at its Walt Disney World resorts; Walt Disney World annual passholders will be able to visit the theme parks after 2 p.m. without needing a park reservation (except on Saturdays and Sundays at Magic Kingdom) and individuals buying its Genie+ service will receive digital downloads of their ride photos taken in the park on the day of their purchase for no additional charge. Like many companies, Disney struggled during the lockdowns of the COVID-19 pandemic. Its theme parks were shut down for some time, with the closures causing delays in the construction of various projects. Concurrently, former CEO Bob Chapek received a l...

Dozens of UFOs in Earth orbit during the launch of the James Webb Telescope

Image
The European Space Agency has released footage of the Ariane 5 rocket showing the removal of the telescope, and the video is truly amazing. No, it is not the telescope that is incredible, but simply an incredible number of UFOs literally flooding the earth’s orbit . The three-minute live video shows Webb disengaging from the rocket, retreating, and deploying the solar cell after 69 seconds. The telescope is heading to a place located at a distance of about 1.5 million kilometers (a little less than 1 million miles) from Earth, in an area called the Lagrange point – NASA writes pathetically about this event, but completely “does not notice” the huge number of UFOs that filled orbit . Of course, NASA will say that this is just ice that fell off the rocket, but we suggest that you just watch the video and such explanations will only make you laugh. Objects move in different directions, at different speeds, moreover, there are objects that first fly ...

Charlotte Hornets deny they've been in contract negotiations with Miles Bridges

The Charlotte Hornets are denying recent reports suggesting that they've been in contract negotiations with restricted free agent Miles Bridges. Last month, ESPN reported that the Hornets and Bridges were discussing a new contract , and that both sides were optimistic that a deal could be agreed to in the near future.  However, the Hornets came out with a statement via the Charlotte Observer  refuting that report, saying "We have not been engaged in contract negotiations with Miles Bridges." Bridges, who has not played this season, was arrested on June 29 and later charged with one felony count of injuring a child's parent, and two felony counts of child abuse under circumstances or conditions likely to cause great bodily injury or death. In November,  he pleaded no contest  to one felony count of injuring a child's parent and was given three years of probation and avoided jail time. Bridg...

Pep Guardiola reveals Erling Haaland warning after red card scare

Image
Pep Guardiola confessed that he had to warn Erling Haaland to keep his composure during Manchester City's 1-1 draw with Everton. Haaland was shown a yellow card in the first half for a lunge on Everton's Vitaliy Mykolenko which many fans argued could have been a straight red, while he also caught James Tarkowski in the face as he attempted to shield the ball. The Norway striker appeared to have been frustrated by an earlier challenge from Ben Godfrey and Guardiola suggested playing for City means Haaland will have to get use to being given very little protection. "It was a [deserved] yellow card for Haaland. He was a bit angry for the first action on his ankle [by Godfrey]. I told him to be careful because we can’t play 10 against 11 and he reacted well," the boss explained. "We are Manchester City. We have to do our best but I know what happened. Against Leeds, three or four fouls on Jack Grealish and nothing happened. Erling Haaland tussled with Ben Godfrey all...

World Superbike reveals 23-bike entry list for 2023

Image
Listen to this article Released on Thursday, the list contains no names that weren't already announced by their teams, but does clarify certain riders' number choices, as well as some tweaked team names for the upcoming campaign. Notable by its absence is the Pedercini Kawasaki team, which had even announced its participation in the 2023 season earlier this month as part of a new alliance with Vinales Racing. If Pedercini does not take to the grid next season, it would reduce the Kawasaki presence to four ZX-RR bikes, the two factory machines and single bikes each for Puccetti Racing and Orelac Racing. Yamaha is the best represented manufacturer on the grid with six bikes, as the GMT94 team effectively takes over from the family-run Ponsson Racing effort within the Japanese marque's stable. Ducati has five bikes, with all three of its one -bike satellite teams stayi...

New Study Discovers 11 Multidimensional Universes Within the Human Brain

Image
The human brain is capable of creating structures in up to 11 dimension s, according to scientists. According to a study published in Frontiers in Computational Neuro Science , the Human brain can deal and create in up to 11 dimension s. According to the Blue Brain Project, the dimensions are not interpreted in the traditional sense of a dimension, which most of us understand. Scientists found exciting new facts about the intricacy of the human brain as part of the Blue Brain Project. Neuroscientist Henry Markram, director of Blue Brain Project and professor at the EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland, said: “We found a world that we had never imagined. There are tens of millions of these objects, even in a speck of the brain, up through seven dimension s. In some networks, we even found structures with up to eleven dimension s.” Traditional mathematical viewpoints were found to be inapplicable and unproductive once researchers studied the human brain. The graphic tries to depict s...

At the Edge of Time, Astronomers Accidentally Found Hidden Galaxies

Image
A team of astronomers has unexpectedly discovered two galaxies that were previously hidden from view at the edge of space and time. Yoshinobu Fudamoto, an astronomer from Waseda University’s Research Institute for Science and Engineering and the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ), directed the team that made the discovery using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. ALMA is an Astronomy interferometer comprised of 66 radio telescopes capable of seeing through dust and at extremely long distances. Rebels-12 and Rebels-29 have been identified in near-infrared radiation, however, Rebels-12-2 and Rebels-29-2 have not been found, implying that these galaxies are severely shrouded in dust. Image credits: alma (eso/naoj/nrao), nasa/esa Hubble Space Telescope, eso, fudamoto et al. The two new galaxies were discovered while watching two target galaxies known as REBELS-12 and REBELS-29. Bright emissions were detected hundreds of light-ye...

World Superbike: Scott Redding expected more from BMW in 2022

Image
Listen to this article Redding was signed by BMW to lead its factory WSBK programme on the back of the marque’s first comeback win in 2021 with Michael van der Mark. Although the partnership got off to a nightmare start at Aragon, Redding was soon able to acclimatise himself to an improving BMW M1000RR and score back-to-back podiums at Donington Park and Most in the middle part of the season. However, top-line results proved much harder to achieve after the summer break and, excluding a fortuitous second-place finish in a race from which both Toprak Razgatlioglu and Jonathan Rea retired, Redding broke inside the top-five only once in the final six rounds of the season.  Summing up his first campaign with the German manufacturer, Redding said he was “semi-pleased” with the performance in 2022 but is hoping he and BMW can make further strides next year. “The progression until ...

Ex-MotoGP rider Danilo Petrucci secures WSBK move with Ducati

Image
Listen to this article Petrucci had long been rumoured to make the switch to the production-based series next year after reuniting with Ducati in MotoAmerica, where he finished second in the championship this year. Ducati’s decision to renew the contract of Michael Ruben Rinaldi at the factory team in September appeared to have closed the door for a WSBK move, but Pet rucci has now managed to secure a berth with the Barni Racing Team that runs the same Ducati Panigale V4 R. The Italian rider has a past relationship with Barni, having finished second in the Superstock 1000 class with the squad in 2011 during his last tenure in the WSBK paddock.  In fact, it was his results with Barni that helped him land a seat in MotoGP in 2012. “I’m really pleased to be back with Barni. 2011 was one of my best ever seasons but, more importantly, I couldn’t say no to the chance to race in W...

Danilo Petrucci explains why he chose World Superbike move

Image
Listen to this article Last week, it was announced that two-time MotoGP race winner Pet rucci will be joining the Barni Racing squad for his rookie WSBK season next year aboard a satellite Ducati V4 R Panigale. Petrucci had represented the Borgo Panigale marque in MotoAmerica this season, finishing runner-up in the standings to Yamaha rider Jake Gagne, and was widely tipped to remain in the category for a second year. However, in the end the Italian rider said what drove him towards the WSBK opportunity was the chance to campaign the V4 R, which won the title in the hands of Alvaro Bautista this year, at its fullest potential with Pirelli tyres, after a season of using Dunlop tyres in the States. "What pushed me more towards WSBK was the fact that I hadn't raced there yet," Pet rucci told  GPOne.com .  "I had this opportunity with a very com Pet itive bike, w...
