SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
Ever get a gut feeling about a decision before you can explain why? There may be more to that instinct than we realize. Research behind neuroscientist Antonio Damasio’s “somatic marker” hypothesis found that the body sometimes reacts to potential risks before the conscious mind has fully processed them. It does this through sensations such as a tightening chest or a sinking stomach. Those signals can influence the decisions we make before deliberate reasoning kicks in. For business owners facing choices about hiring, partnerships or deals with incomplete information, years of experience may effectively train this internal warning system. Experts say the goal isn’t to ignore logic, but to consider both analysis and instinct — especially when they disagree.
BIG SCREEN-LITTLE SCREEN
Susan Sarandon claims her political beliefs have cost her movie roles. At the Venice Film Festival, the “Thelma & Louise” star was asked if she thinks the “tides are changing” in the film industry, 3 years after she was dropped by her talent agency for her anti-Jewish rant. She said she feels “the narrative has completely changed,” and “There’s a lot of things that people are aware of now.” But she also said that she’s has “had movies taken away recently, because there are agencies that are telling people not to hire me still.” Sarandon, whose new Italian film, “The Echo Chamber,” premiered at the festival on Sunday, noted that despite becoming an outsider in Hollywood, she feels “welcome” by people internationally.
A 25-foot-deep (7.6m) sinkhole near the seaside home of Nicolas Cage prompted an emergency response and the evacuation of 31 nearby homes. Footage from the scene shows a crater, about 30-by-30 feet (9.1 X 9.1m), in the ground near the driveway of what is reported to be the actor’s house in Malibu CA. While authorities have not formally determined a specific cause for the sinkhole, the city warned in an emergency announcement that “these conditions are likely to worsen with forecasted high tides and rain caused by Hurricane Marie.”
Steven Knight, the screenwriter of the new ‘James Bond’ film, has revealed that the next 007 has been cast – and hinted that he’s been writing with the actor in mind. “Peaky Blinders” creator Knight is currently writing the 26th Bond film, and he suggested his job recently got a little easier when he found out who producers had chosen as the man for the most coveted role in cinema. Earlier this week, Gary Oldman threw his support behind “Slow Horses” co-star Jack Lowden, who has in recent weeks emerged as the bookmakers’ favorite to play the role.

SCOOP
OF THE DAY
Your online reviews could make you more likely to get scammed. Researchers found that your reviews can reveal more than just what you think of a restaurant or business. By looking at patterns in what people review and how they write about it, they were able to make surprisingly good guesses about who knows whom. That could give scammers a useful roadmap for targeting victims. For example, a scammer might use those connections to make a fake message look like it came from someone you actually know. The researchers also found a simple way to make this kind of snooping less useful: adding a little “noise” to the data. In other words, including less precise information in your reviews could make it much harder for scammers to figure out who is connected to whom.
Many of us calculate the so-called “human age” of our dog by multiplying their age in years by 7. But scientists say they’ve found a better way to calculate “dog-years”. A 2020 study found dogs age much faster during their early years before the process slows down. Researchers analyzed DNA changes in 104 Labradors and compared them with data from humans. Their formula: human age = 16 × dog age + 31. That puts a 1-year-old dog at roughly 31 human years, a 2-year-old at 42, and a 4-year-old at 53. By age 12, a dog is about 71 in human years. The catch: the study only involved Labradors, and other breeds may age differently.

WEIRD NEWS
A Texas man got an unexpected - and decidedly unusual - DoorDash delivery, when his Burger King order was dropped off by a driver who was…completely naked. Kiante Matlock said his daughter alerted him that the food had arrived, prompting him to check his Ring camera. At first, he thought the driver was wearing a onesie, but he quickly realized he was completely naked. The driver had left by the time Matlock reached the door, but the experience left him so uncomfortable that he refused to eat the food. DoorDash refunded the order and removed the driver from its platform. The driver has not been identified.
