Chicago's Field Museum is home to over a dozen ancient Egyptian mummies but one in particular has perplexed researchers for years. Now, the mystery of Lady Chenet-aa's burial procedure appears to be solved with the use of a CT scanner. Lady Chenet-aa lived roughly 3,000 years ago amid the 22nd Dynasty during Egypt's Third Intermediate Period. Soon after her death, one of the ways funerary experts prepared her for the afterlife was by constructing a cartonnage--a paper mache-like box housing a deceased person's body. In Chenet-aa's case, however, there isn't any hint of a visible seam, leaving Egyptologists to wonder for years exactly how embalmers placed her inside the casing. According to an October 24 announcement from the Field Museum, a mobile CT scanner helped to finally explain the strategy behind Chenet-aa's "locked-mummy" cartonnage, as well as new physical information about her at her time of death.

The'Fox & Friends' co-hosts discussed concerns surrounding artificial intelligence and how it will impact the internet moving forward. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson issued a stark warning on the rise of artificial intelligence, noting that the development of fake videos and other media could be the final "nail in the coffin" for the internet. The renowned astrophysicist and author discussed his thoughts surrounding the future of the global computer network during Thursday's episode of "The Fox News Rundown" podcast. "Part of me wonders, maybe AI will create such good fakes that no one will trust the Internet anymore for anything, and we just have to simply shut it down," deGrasse Tyson said. "Thirty years, it was a good run from the early nineties to the early twenties and 2020s, now it's time for the next thing," he continued.

"V Rising" spits you out of a coffin after a long torpor with nothing but your claws and scant few vampire powers that won't become fully relevant until later. The perspective is the same kind of faux-isometric camera that you'd see in old PC RPGs like Diablo, and plays remarkably like that game as well, at least when it comes to combat. But the main gameplay loop doesn't revolve around this familiar combat mechanism. Instead, the focus is on staying alive, and your first priority is to create a shelter that will eventually form the literal heart of your vampire castle. To do so, you'll spend more time clawing at trees and boulders than enemies to get the materials you need.

November 10, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) -- The COVID-19 pandemic was manufactured by the world's elites as part of a plan to globally advance "transhumanism" -- literally, the fusion of human beings with technology in an attempt to alter human nature itself and create a superhuman being and an "earthly paradise," according to a Peruvian academic and expert in technology. This dystopian nightmare scenario is no longer the stuff of science fiction, but an integral part of the proposed post-pandemic "Great Reset," Dr. Miklos Lukacs de Pereny said at a recent summit on COVID-19. Indeed, to the extent that implementing the transhumanist agenda is possible, it requires the concentration of political and economic power in the hands of a global elite and the dependence of people on the state, said Lukacs. That's precisely the aim of the Great Reset, promoted by German economist Klaus Schwab, CEO and founder of World Economic Forum, along with billionaire "philanthropists" George Soros and Bill Gates and other owners, managers, and shareholders of Big Tech, Big Pharma, and Big Finance who meet at the WEF retreats at Davos, Switzerland, contended Lukacs. Transhumanism is far from a benign doctrine.

TEHRAN – Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei wept Monday over the casket of a top general killed last week in a U.S. airstrike, his prayers joining the wails of mourners who flooded the streets of Tehran demanding retaliation against America for a slaying that has drastically raised tensions across the Middle East. The Tehran funeral for Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani drew a crowd said by police to be in the millions, filling thoroughfares and side streets as far as the eye could see. Although there was no independent estimate, aerial footage and journalists suggested a turnout of at least 1 million, and the throngs were visible on satellite images of Tehran taken Monday. Authorities later brought his remains and those of the others to Iran's holy city of Qom, where another massive crowd turned out. The outpouring of grief was an unprecedented honor for a man viewed by Iranians as a national hero for his work leading the Guard's expeditionary Quds Force.

Amazon's Alexa, the personal assistant that launched with the Amazon Echo smart speaker, completely dominated this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Just ask anyone: "Alexa Just Conquered CES. The World Is Next," read one Wired headline. CNBC, the BBC, MIT Technology Review, and many others all had equally laudatory reports. Companies like Ford, Huawei, LG, as well as a long parade of startups, all unveiled home appliances, phones, cars, and more gadgets with Alexa integration.

The European car insurance market generates 130.8bn in premiums with 1.3bn underwriting profit. At the same time, the major players have some of the lowest Net Promoter Score (NPS) ratings of any industry, meaning the companies do not inspire satisfaction or loyalty in their customers. Overall high acquisition cost, low engagement, no brand loyalty and high cost of retention among young people and new trends like car sharing, self driven cars are putting huge pressures to the car insurance industry. The current young generation is extremely price sensitive but at the same time brand conscious. To penetrate this market a company has to either give very good price or sell value with a strong brand association.

This week, a short novel written by an AI program did well in a Japanese literary contest, scientists spotted traces of a possible new particle that could shake the foundations of physics and a team of researchers discovered in the human genome a "nearly intact" genetic blueprint for a 700,000-year-old stowaway virus. A short novel written by a Japanese artificial intelligence software program passed the first screening round for the Nikkei Hoshi Shinichi Literary Award. "The day a computer wrote a novel," the program wrote near the end of the piece, "the computer, placing priority on the pursuit of its own joy, stopped working for humans." A team of scientists from Tufts University and the University of Michigan Health System has found a "nearly intact" genetic copy of an ancient virus that spliced itself into our DNA. The team doesn't rule out the possibility that it could come alive again.
