Some researchers studying Indigenous actors and filmmakers in the United States have turned their attention to the early days of cinema, particularly the 1910s and 1920s, when people like James Young Deer, Dark Cloud, Edwin Carewe, and Lillian St. Cyr (known professionally as Red Wing) were involved in one way or another with numerous films. In fact, so many films and associated records for this era have been lost that counts of those four figures’ output should be taken as bare minimums rather than totals.

The chart below represents credited film output of James Young Deer, Dark Cloud, Edwin Carewe, and Lillian St. Cyr.

Music: Not Impossible

By John Mihaly

The Music: Not Impossible haptic suit—a wearable backpack that weighs a couple pounds, with wrist and ankle attachments—translates audio from a concert venue’s mixers and placed microphones into vibrations that allow people who are deaf to feel the music on their skin. From events at Lincoln Center to South x Southwest, Music: Not Impossible has been lending its not-yet-commercially available suits to deaf and hard-of-hearing visitors. “For the deaf, it’s not just about the music; it’s the social aspect,” says Daniel Belquer, the company’s co-founder and “chief vibrational officer.” “To be involved in something larger than themselves, to disappear among the crowd - hearing people take it for granted.”

In a first, microplastic particles have been linked to heart disease

By Tara Haelle

Microplastics are everywhere in the environment—and in our bodies. The build-up of these tiny plastic particles in blood vessels is linked to a greater risk of heart attack, stroke, and death, according to a new study. When plaque builds up in arteries—a disease called atherosclerosis—the thicker vessel walls reduce blood flow to parts of the body, raising the risk of strokes, angina, and heart attack. The plaques are typically a mixture of cholesterol, fatty substances, waste from cells, calcium, and a blood clotting protein called fibrin. The new study now focuses on some 300 people with atherosclerosis, some of whom also had tiny plastic particles—microplastics and nanoplastics—embedded in plaques in their carotid artery, a major blood vessel in the neck that provides blood to the brain. The people with plastic-containing plaques were more than four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke or to die from any cause over the next three years, according to the research published on March 7 in the New England Journal of Medicine.

Comic strips are art works with texts aiming to produce some effect of humor. Usually humor results from the interaction of text and image and is based on play on words, exaggerations, contradictions, or verbal metaphors.

Considering this comic strip above, it is correct to state that the effect of humor resulted from

Large earthquakes are always followed by aftershocks – a series of smaller but still potentially damaging quakes produced as the ground readjusts. But how long does it take for the aftershocks to die out? A new study suggests some areas can experience aftershocks decades or even centuries after the original earthquake. In earthquake-prone areas it is hard to tell the difference between aftershocks and ordinary background seismicity. But recognizing aftershocks is an important part of assessing a region’s disaster risk. To understand how long aftershocks can persist, researchers turned to the stable continental interior of North America, where earthquakes are uncommon. Using statistical analysis, they assessed the timing and clustering of quakes that followed three large magnitude 6.5 to 8 historical earthquakes: one near south-east Quebec in Canada in 1663; a trio of quakes around the Missouri-Kentucky border from 1811 to 1812; and an earthquake in Charleston in South Carolina in 1886. Their results, published in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, suggest that the Quebec quake in 1663 has likely shaken itself out, but to their surprise nearly a third of modern quakes in the Missouri-Kentucky area were most likely to be aftershocks from the 1811-12 event, and about 16% of recent quakes in the Charleston region are probably aftershocks from the 1886 quake.

Tome como base o texto acima e analise as asserções abaixo.

I. Terremotos são sempre seguidos de tremores secundários de menor impacto.
II. Cientistas acreditam que até hoje são sentidos efeitos do terremoto de Quebec de 1663.
III. Abalos sísmicos secundários podem ocorrer até mesmo séculos depois do principal.
IV. Em áreas sísmicas, fica difícil distinguir abalos secundários de simples tremores comuns.
V. É pouco provável que terremotos perto de Charleston estejam relacionados com o de 1886.
