Cruel Intentions at 25: Placebo, Counting Crows and the making of the greatest soundtrack in teen movie history

Get our free weekly email for all the latest cinematic news from our film critic Clarisse LoughreyGet our The Life Cinematic email for freeA moody piano. A bass chord that thuds insistently under a rolling motif that hesitates, lingers, then speeds to catch itself up. “I am ready, I am ready, I am…” sings a deep, slightly strained vocal. Hoards of elder millennials swoon. This is “Colorblind” by Counting Crows, a track eternally linked to a scene in the salacious 1999 teen movie Cruel Intentions, in which Ryan Phillippe…

The Download: combating Parkinson’s with implants, and counting carbon’s cost

The news: A man with Parkinson’s disease has regained the ability to walk after physicians implanted a small device into his spinal cord that sends signals to his legs.How they did it: Marc, who has had Parkinson’s for around three decades, is the first and only person to have received the new spinal neuroprosthesis, a small device containing electrodes placed under the skin on top of his spinal cord. It works by sending bursts of electrical signals to stimulate the nerves in his spinal cord, which then activate his leg…

Counting Africa’s Largest Bat Colony

Every evening, bats fly from Kasanka National Park to feed in the surrounding countryside. Credit: Christian Ziegler / Max Planck Institute of Animal BehaviorThe most accurate estimate yet has been provided by artificial intelligence and computer vision.Each year, a small forest in Zambia transforms into the site of one of the planet’s most astounding natural events. In November, the straw-colored fruit bats undertake a migration from various parts of Africa to a specific cluster of trees in Kasanka National Park. The…

Is Intermittent Fasting or Calorie Counting Better For Weight Loss? New Study Weighs in : ScienceAlert

The traditional approach to weight loss is to count calories and try to reduce the number consumed each day. This is a time-consuming and error-prone process – often with disappointing results.Intermittent fasting – and the popular version known as time-restricted eating – could be a simpler option for people wanting to achieve a healthy weight.But is intermittent fasting any better than calorie counting for losing weight?A new study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, aimed to provide the answer. It showed…

Compressing your eating day is as effective as counting calories, study finds

If you’re trying to lose weight and you’re sick of watching what you eat, researchers have some good news: You can watch the clock instead. In a yearlong study, people who didn’t change what they ate — but ate it all between noon and 8 p.m. — achieved significant, sustained weight loss that was comparable to people who paid close attention to their food choices in order to cut their daily calories by 25%.Dieters in both groups lost about 4% of their body weight after a year, researchers reported Monday in the Annals of…

Bitwise AND and XOR pair counting

Given an integer array arr of size N, the task is to count the number of pairs whose BITWISE AND and BITWISE XOR are equal.Examples:Input: N = 3, arr = Output: 1Explanation: All possible pairs from the array are pair = . we can see that pair = (0, 0), 0&0 == 0 and 0^0 == 0 this pair stratified the given condition so, we increase our answer by += 1for pair = (0, 1), 0&1 == 0 and 0^1 == 1, we can see that these are not equal we can’t increase our ans.we check for last also, in last also they are not equal.So, our…

Counting Arrays with divisibility constraint

Given two integers X and Y, the task is to find the number of different arrays that can be constructed of size largest possible size that follow the conditions below:Every element of the array should not be less than X and should not be greater than Y.Every element should occur at most once in the array.Let Ai and Aj be two elements of the array where i is not equal to j, Then Ai should divide Aj or Aj should divide Ai.Note: Two arrays will be considered different if at least one element is present in the first array but…

Counting pairs with prime bitwise AND in a Singly Linked List

Given a Singly linked list of integers, the task is to count the number of pairs of nodes whose bitwise AND is a prime number.Examples:Input: 4 -> 2 -> 3 -> 1 -> 5 -> 6Output: 3Explanation: The only pair with bitwise AND being a prime number is (2, 3), (2, 6), (3, 6).Input: 10 -> 3 -> 5 -> 7 -> 2 -> 15Output: 11Explanation: The pairs with bitwise AND being a prime number are (10, 3), (10, 7), (10, 2), (3, 7), (3, 2), (3, 15), (5, 7), (5, 15), (7, 2), (7, 15), (2, 15).Approach: This can be…

Counting Subarrays with elements repeated twice after swapping

Given an array A of N integers, the task is to find the number of subarrays of A, which is the repetition of its’ elements twice, after having swapped the inside elements of this subarray any number of times.Note: Each element of the array is between 0 and 9 (inclusive of both).Examples:Input: N = 8, A = {2, 0, 2, 3, 0, 3, 2, 2}Output: 4Explanation: First subarray -> {2, 0, 2, 3, 0, 3}.In this subarray, swap indices 3 and 4. We get {2, 0, 3, 2, 0, 3} which is the repetition of {2, 0, 3} twice.Second subarray ->  {2,…
