Forster Revisited

At first they were known exclusively for their films of India, such as “Shakespeare Wallah” and “Bombay Talkie.” Then their focus shifted to classy literary adaptations: Henry James (“The Europeans,” “The Bostonians”) and Jean Rhys (“Quartet”). For all the respect these films garnered, there were always detractors who dismissed their work as enervated “Masterpiece Theatre” gentility. Certainly, when Ivory was faced with incompatible material, such as Tama Janowitz’s “Slaves of New York,” his filmmaking could be stilted....

The review, carried out by researchers in China using data from nearly 30 million patients across 95 studies worldwide, found that just over 40 percent of people infected with COVID-19 were asymptomatic.

Fossilized Woolly Mammoth Feces Found Alongside Exceptionally Well Preserved Siberian Skeleton

A piece of fossilized feces—or coprolite—was found alongside an exceptionally preserved adult mammoth skeleton uncovered in northwest Siberia’s Yamal peninsula in July, The Siberian Times reported. According to the team that uncovered the remains, there is little doubt that the coprolite was produced by the mammoth in question. Furthermore, they say the fossil could help to shed light on what the extinct animal once ate. “The coprolite was definitely left by this very mammoth, it is a very good find, as it can contain a lot of information about the mammoth’s diet as well as the pollen of ancient plants, and a lot more,” Dmitry Frolov, head of the Arctic Research Center of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District, told The Siberian Times....

However, a quarter-million dollars of what the group raised over this past election cycle, Mitchell pointed out, went to Blue Deal LLC, which is owned by Occupy Democrats’ founder Omar Rivero and his brother, Rafael....
