Bates, 42, is often seen driving a $300,000 Mercedes-Benz SUV around the millionaire enclave of Wategos Beach. A regular on the Sydney and Byron Bay social scene for years, he is a Sydney publicity expert Roxy Jacenko the school’s official date was decades ago. Described by a former friend as a proponent of a carefully cultivated high-flying svengali aura, Bates is notorious for lavishing his girlfriends with expensive gifts, collecting expensive lunch bills at his neighborhood watering hole, the majestic Rae’s on Wategos Beach, where he is known to order some bottle of Krug champagne and a giant tub of caviar. Potential investors, some of whom gave up hundreds of thousands of dollars, were hooked. Watego Beach in Byron Bay.

Samantha X announced that she is now using her real name

Australia’s most famous bodyguard Samantha X is no more. The former high-class call girl has left sex work and now goes by her real name, Amanda Goff. The 48-year-old told this week’s issue of Stellar that he was “embarrassed” by his previous career and had changed his way of life after being diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. Samantha X is no more. The former high-class call girl has left sex work and now goes by her real name, Amanda Goff. Featured in Stellar Magazine “Now that the fog has cleared, I’m embarrassed by some of my choices, especially about going public,” he said. “I don’t recognize the woman who did that and it’s a shame for me.” She continued: ‘I don’t blame my bipolar or say it’s all because of my bipolar at all. But would I make that choice if I were diagnosed and treated? I most likely wouldn’t be so open about it’. The 48-year-old told this week’s i...

How to Watch NOAA's 'Voyage to the Ridge' Deep Sea Expedition in Real Time

Image
An expedition to map and survey a poorly understood region of the Atlantic Ocean is underway this week. Researchers from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and a partner group sent a two-part, remotely operated vehicle (ROV) on a series of deep-sea dives as part of a mission called “Voyage to the Ridge 2022.” The ROV carries sensors and cameras, and records everything it finds on the ocean floor along parts of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge — one of the largest geological features on Earth. The best part: you can follow along, watching discoveries happen in real-time via a series of live streams on the NOAA website. The footage so far, of the first of many planned dives, has been astounding, and more to come. Yesterday’s dive reached the seabed at around 9pm AEST and just finished at 4am this morning (July 21). If all goes well, the current overall expedition will continue through July 29, with daily online dive streaming from approximately 8:45 p.m. to 7 a.m. AEST. T...

Why the US can avoid a 'real' recession

Image
Nearly 70 percent of economists surveyed believe NBER will make this call at some point next year, according to a University of Chicago survey. US gross domestic product fell 0.35 percent in the first quarter, slowing annual growth to 3.6 percent. Interestingly, part of the blow was through the trade balance where imports of services exploded to a record $US51.6 billion ($76.6 billion). Half of that comes from the cost of using intellectual property due to a temporary boost from the costs of rights to broadcast the Winter Olympics. The second quarter GDP data will be released on July 28, and that could touch and head for a technical recession. But that doesn’t mean the country will be in an NBER-defined recession. Morgan Stanley US economist Julian Richers thinks there may be a technical recession but not a recession, as defined by the NBER. Under pressure: Fed Chair Jerome Powell is trying to avoid a 1970s-style price spiral. Bloomberg “The latest trade data this week has mov...

This cyber war thriller leans on real world events and it's worrying

Image
Russia’s ending is captivating, both in its rare depiction of the operation in which Vadim was involved, and in its depiction of the social and political environment in which they exist. However authentic the representation may be, it’s hard not to worry. Meanwhile, Khalique-Brown emerges as a huge talent, remaining more than up to par with stints as the script throws the kitchen sink at her characters – from punishing family dramas to full-fledged love lives and even abseiling spots. Good stuff.

A new imaging technique allows researchers to view gene expression in the brains of living mice in real time

A team led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities has developed a new technique to image mRNA molecules in the brains of live mice. By genetically modifying the mice to produce mRNA labeled with the green fluorescent protein (shown above), the researchers were able to see when and where the mouse brain produced Arc mRNA.

A new imaging technique allows researchers to see gene expression in the brains of living mice in real time

A team led by the University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities has developed a new technique that allows scientists and engineers, for the first time, to visualize mRNA molecules in the brains of living mice. This research reveals new insights into how memories are formed and stored in the brain and could provide scientists with new information about diseases like Alzheimer’s. The paper is published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America (PNAS), a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, high-impact scientific journal. There are still many mysteries surrounding the process of how memories are physically created and stored in the brain. It is well known that mRNA—a type of RNA involved in making proteins—is produced during the processes of memory formation and storage, but the technology for studying this process at the cellular level is still limited. Previous research has often involved dissecting mice to examine their brains. A research...
