The deepest fish in the sea is much more successful than she looks

There may be nothing new under the sun. But something new was just discovered deep in the ocean.

The Mariana Trench, in the western pacific, near Guam, is the deepest stretch of ocean on Earth. These waters are mysterious and difficult to study, but so far scientists know the depths are home to amphipods and other crustaceans, sea cucumbers, jellyfish, and tiny one-celled organisms called foraminifera. Now, we know the deepest waters are also home to the Mariana snailfish. This two-inch-long, translucent, scaleless fish has just won the crown for most intrepid sea traveler among the fishes, swimming deeper than 26,600 ft. Officially known as pseudoliparis swirei, the snailfish was introduced to the world in the journal Zootaxa (pdf) on Nov. 28.

How Opioids Started Killing Americans

t's been conventional wisdom for some time now that America's opioid epidemic began at the pharmacy. Now there are numbers that put any doubt to rest.

More than half of all people who succumbed to an overdose between 2001 to 2007 were chronic pain sufferers who filled an opioid prescription and sometimes even saw a doctor in the month before they died. Only 4 percent were ever diagnosed as having an abuse problem, said Dr. Mark Olfson, one of five researchers who conducted a massive study of the crisis and its causes for Columbia University Medical Center.

Xiaomi's upcoming Redmi phone

Flipkart has just gone live with its official page for this upcoming Redmi phone although the page shares no hardware specifics of the said phone. All we know for now is that the phone will - it is already known courtesy Xiaomi -- come equipped with a long-lasting battery. Considering that the phone is coming from the Redmi banner, we can totally expect it to cost under Rs 10,000 on arrival. Considering that Xiaomi is banking heavily on the battery aspect of this Redmi phone, there's a possibility that the phone in question could be the Redmi 5A. The Redmi 5A, which was launched in China in October, is also an entry-level phone, its main USP being the fact that it is claimed to offer a whopping 8-days of battery life.

In the Tippecanoe County in Indiana alone, which is the scope of the research, it was found that the overall cost of vehicular accidents due to the augmented reality (AR) game was between $5.2 million and $25.5 million during the same period.

The future looks bright: light pollution rises on a global scale

Artificial lights are eating away at dark nights – and that's not a good thing

Artificial lights are eating away at dark nights - and that's not a good thing

"This is concerning, of course, because we are convinced that artificial light is an environmental pollutant with ecological and evolutionary implications for many organisms – from bacteria to mammals, including us humans – and may reshape entire social ecological systems," Franz Holker of the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries, one of the study's authors, said in a briefing.

Thanks to electric lights, outdoor lighting grew at a rate of 3% to 6% annually in the second half of the 20th century. While this has benefited human productivity and safety, it has come with a dark side: The night is no longer dark enough.


Best Black Friday 2017 Deals: Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, 3DS, PC Games And Tech

Black Friday is almost upon us, but we're already neck-deep in early ads, deals, and offers. We've done our best over the last week-plus to round up and highlight deals you might care about from specific retailers and for individual platforms, but parsing it all can be intimidating. There are countless deals to be had, and not all of them are necessarily good.

Notably, many of the year's biggest games are on sale. That includes some of fall's big releases, including games that have only been released in the past few weeks--titles like Call of Duty: WWIIAssassin's Creed OriginsWolfenstein II: The New Colossus, and South Park: The Fractured But Whole. You're certainly being rewarded if you were patient and didn't pick these games up right away.

Scientists Discovered Ancient Sea Cow In Russia

The scientists discovered the creature after they found the ribs sticking out of the seashore. They spent about eight hours digging to discover what the buried creature was, which showed that it was a rare, extinct sea cow, which was endemic to the waters of the islands between Alaska and Russia. Digging revealed 45 vertebrae, 27 ribs, a left scapula and other bones.

Trump puts elephant trophy imports on hold

Imports of trophies from elephants legally hunted in Zambia and Zimbabwe had been set to resume, reversing a 2014 Obama-era ban. But late on Friday, President Trump tweeted the change was on hold until he could "review all conservation facts". The move to relax the ban had sparked immediate anger from animal activists. "Your shameful actions confirm the rumours that you are unfit for office," said French actress and animal-rights activist Brigitte Bardot in a letter to President Trump.

LG OLED TVs will hit a new low price for Black Friday. Now's the time to buy

  • The only differences between the two are cosmetic (different stands) and audio-related (the B7A lacks Dolby Atmos decoding and has a different speaker configuration). During the sale period the 55-inch C7 will be $200 more, and the 65-incher $400 more, than the B7A. I don't think those differences are worth the extra money to most buyers.
  • I don't think the price, especially on the 65-incher, will get any lower this year. In 2016 LG announced a similar sale and its pricing never got lower. In fact it increased in price a bit near the beginning of December, according to Amazon price tracker camelcamelcamel.com. That sale had a pretty tight two-week window.

Destiny 2 Xur Location Guide: Where Is Xur And What Exotics Is He Selling? (November 17)

Seven whole days have passed since Xur last appeared in Destiny 2 on PS4Xbox One, and PC, which means he's had an opportunity run off, steal a few more Exotics off the back of a lorry (we presume this is how he keeps getting them), and now he's back trying to sell them to Guardians again.

This week Xur is hanging out on Titan. This is one of the spots he frequents, so if you been playing Destiny 2 for a while you'll probably have been here before. For all you new players, all you need to do is fly on down to The Rig, head straight on the left, and you'll find him hiding in a room on ground level. If you're having trouble, open the map and put a waypoint on him and you can follow that. We've got details on what he's offering below.

First Raid Lair Coming To Destiny 2: Curse Of Osiris, Revealing Bungie's Future Plans For Raids

One of the big teases about Destiny 2's upcoming Curse of Osiris DLC expansion was that it would include new "Raid content." Bungie remained very vague about what this means, but during the first of three livestreams dedicated to the DLC, we learned exactly what's coming. And more than just being a component of the expansion, this has shown us what the future of Destiny 2 Raids looks like.

Star Wars game in U-turn after player anger

During the game, players have to obtain credits â" either by buying them or through long hours of game play â" to unlock popular characters including Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. Many players said it was unfair as the gaming required worked out at around 40 hours per character, unless they paid. EA says the number of credits required will now be reduced by 75%. âUnlocking a hero is a great accomplishment in the game, something we want players to have fun earning,â said executive producer John Wasilczyk from the developer Dice, in a statement.

Ecobee adds Google Assistant support to its smart thermostats

These aren't the first thermostats to add Google Assistant support. Honeywell added Google Assistant support to several of its own smart thermostats back in August, and of course, Alphabet-owned Nest integrates its thermostats with the Assistant as well. Still, the more the better - it means more options for buyers and less of a hassle if you try to switch systems.

Samsung Galaxy A5 2018 will most likely ship with Galaxy S8-like Infinity screen

According to the leaked listing, at least one of the two Galaxy A 2018 phones, will have an unusual 18.5:9 aspect ratio. This phone is said to be the Galaxy A5 (2018) but since Samsung is known to maintain uniformity, as far as design is concerned, in both its A5 and A7 phones, we can expect the feature to be part of the Galaxy A7 (2018) as well. The unusual 18.5:9 aspect ratio is a major headline of the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ (and Galaxy Note 8) which is harbinger of a taller (and narrower) screen in a smaller footprint design.
