SURVEYS, STUDIES & SUCH
For years, health experts have urged people to sit less and move more, but a new study suggests that sitting too little may be just as risky as sitting too much. Researchers followed more than 41,000 adults in China for nearly 12 years and found the lowest risk of death or major cardiovascular events was linked to about 4 hours of sitting per day. Surprisingly, people who sat less than 2 hours daily had a higher risk of heart events, particularly those working physically demanding jobs such as farming or construction. The findings suggest that for people already engaged in strenuous labor, periods of rest may be beneficial. However, sitting for 8 or more hours a day was still associated with increased health risks.

A live-action “The Magic School Bus” movie, starring Elizabeth Banks as ‘Ms. Frizzle’, is regaining momentum after 6 years in development. The Magic School Bus is based on the beloved children’s books by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. Though plot details for the movie haven’t been confirmed, the PBS series follows the eccentric teacher and her class as they go on field trips in their yellow school bus that magically transforms into everything from a plane and submarine to a spaceship and surfboard to help them navigate terrain like outer space and the human body. Legendary Entertainment is producing the new “Magic School Bus” with publisher Scholastic.
A new take on “The Blair Witch Project” will haunt theaters next fall. Details have not been revealed, but Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson has previously referred to the film as a “new vision” that will “reintroduce this horror classic for a new generation.” The Blair Witch Project, released in 1999, is one of the most commercially successful indie films of all time, earning nearly $250 million against a micro budget. The movie uses so-called “found footage” to capture the alleged true story of 3 student filmmakers who disappear while making a film about the legend of Blair Witch.

OF THE DAY
Pickles have come a long way from being a side dish beside sandwiches and as a hamburger garnish. Today, their tangy flavor is showing up everywhere – from pickle-flavored chips, popcorn, and seasoning blends to pickle beer, smoothies, and even bottled pickle juice. Food trend experts say we’re living through a “pickle renaissance,” with pickle becoming a signature summer flavor, much like pumpkin spice is for fall. The trend gained momentum with millennials’ love of artisanal foods, and exploded among Gen Z through social media. Beyond traditional pickles, you can now sip from a pickle lager at a barbeque, douse chicken and rice with dill pickle seasoning before a beach day, and snack on pickle-flavored potato chips. Brands even sell pickle juice on its own, for use in salty, zingy cocktails or probiotic supplements. Analysts say the craze reflects consumers’ appetite for bold flavors, nostalgia, and even perceived health benefits. While some novelty products may fade, experts believe pickle’s newfound status as a mainstream flavor is here to stay.
Hollywood has a new problem: finding the right words. Movies that continue existing stories (and sometimes use the same actors and creative teams) are avoiding labels like “sequel,” “reboot,” and “remake”, because audiences are now seeing them as signs of tired old recycled ideas. Studios are now using terms like “companion piece,” “new chapter,” and “reimagining” to make familiar stories feel fresh. While movie franchises remain a major part of the film business, younger audiences are increasingly looking for originality and creative risks. So…the challenge for Hollywood is finding the balance between giving fans something familiar – and making it feel like a new experience. In other words, it’s a sequel… but don’t call it one.

French police searching a suspected drug-trafficking network near Paris made the stunning discovery of a stolen Pablo Picasso painting worth US$14-18 million. Authorities believe the unnamed portrait, one of Picasso’s paintings of his muse Marie-Thérèse Walter, had been taken from a secure art-storage facility.
