It turns out that excessive moisture can make them literally glow! If pistachios absorb too much water, they start to use up free fatty acids, produce CO2 and H2O, and generate a very noticeable amount of heat. This ‘chain reaction’ can take over more and more neighbouring fruits.

Experts analysed 73 urban and peri-urban agricultural facilities in America, Europe and Britain, assessing the life cycle of infrastructure, irrigation and supply of these facilities. As a result, the researchers concluded that the carbon footprint of food from urban and peri-urban gardens is six times greater than that of conventional agriculture – 420 grams of carbon versus 70 grams per serving of food.
The infrastructure used to grow food emits the most carbon. The scientists who conducted the study advise banning private vegetable gardens.

Experts observed how nocturnal insects and Oenothera pallida plants interacted. The ecological systems were located in arid North American regions.
The researchers planned to find out how pollutants in the air like ozone and nitrates affect the pollination process. The formation of the latter occurs in the lower layers of the Earth’s atmosphere when nitrogen dioxide, a component of industrial and car exhaust, reacts with ozone. These are aggressive oxidising agents.

In the UK, there has been a shortage of tea bags in some places, so people have had to rush to buy leftovers and stock up. A similar situation occurred in the United Kingdom during the pandemic years, but now the import problem is caused by the situation in the Middle East.
Trade officials state that tea imports are now in a critical state and are significantly restricted. Attacks on ships in Red Sea waters have become an obstacle to shipments of fermented and packaged tea leaves from such Asian and African countries. Many cargo ships are prevented from passing through the Suez Canal.

German researchers have always been sceptical about the theory that pits formed due to methane leakage. During the expedition, they indeed found no evidence of shallow gas.
Then the experts armed themselves with a multibeam echo sounder to get a good look at the pits. As it turned out, they did not have a cone shape, as if a jet of methane gas had broken through the sediments. But all the pits had the same depth – about 11cm.
To understand the reason for this, one of the scientists phoned an acquaintance, a biologist and diver, who told him that porpoises were scurrying around the seabed trying to find sand eels.

The film will be released by Blumhouse Studios. In July 2021, it bought the rights to the franchise from the company Morgan Creek for $ 400 million. By the way, the last film in the series was released last year under the Blumhouse banner. It was called ‘Exorcising the Devil: The Believer’. The project was directed by David Gordon Green. He then declined to work on the next instalment of the franchise.
His place was taken by Flanagan. The filmmaker, known for his works in the genre of horror, will write the script and direct the film, which will tell a completely new story. It will not be a continuation of the events of the tape Green.

‘I’m here for the long haul and I’m not going anywhere,’ The Hollywood Reporter quoted the showrunner as saying. He is currently working on the seventh season. A sequel episode ‘USS Callister’ from the first season, which parodies Star Trek, is almost finished.
Brooker said the production team is at the point where some episodes are finished and another season is being filmed while another is being prepped. ‘They’re all different, they all have different actors and directors,’ the producer said. Charlie admitted that he really enjoys the process of creating the show, especially the editing, as well as working with great people.

‘Patsy’ executive producer Eric Kripke has made it clear that the multi-part series may be renewed beyond the fifth season. A few years ago he said that he was going to make only five seasons. At the same time, the showrunner made an analogy with the series ‘Supernatural’, which was planned for the same number of seasons, but ‘stretched’ for 15.
The showrunner ultimately decided to keep his promises to himself, and he was right. Now that Amazon has ordered a fifth season before season four has even been released, Kripke has become even stricter about his promises. ‘I’ve since learnt not to name the exact number of seasons as someone who, and this is no exaggeration, is literally more often than anyone else in entertainment history wrong about how many seasons his show should have,’ Inverse quoted the producer as saying.
