At a time when news about the pace of film and television production seems to be relentlessly bad, a Hollywood real estate developer is ignoring the headlines and building a brand new studio. Construction is far along on Echelon Studios Hollywood: an old-school movie studio with all the standard features, but stacked in a single building rather than spread out on a sprawling lot. The challenge was to design a 10-acre movie studio for a 5-acre site, architect Andrew Wright of RIOS said. “Everything is crammed as tight as it can possibly go,” he said. Behind the $450-million venture is real estate developer and landlord David Simon, a true believer in Hollywood who came up with the idea of knocking down a former Sears store on Santa Monica Boulevard west of the Hollywood Freeway and building a studio that is set to open early next year.

Demand for film facilities in Southern California has sharply fallen as production has dwindled in recent years.

NASA has been working on bipedal robots for over a decade. Valkrie, its early prototype, was completed in 2013. Humans won’t be the only ones aboard future NASA missions. At Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, researchers on the agency’s Dexterous Robotics Team are working on the next generation of advanced robots to aid crews during their increasingly uncharted journeys to the moon and possibly even Mars. But while job-killing automation is an increasing concern when it comes to robots, NASA’s engineers are focused on the opposite—they’re trying to keep the humans in space not only employed, but alive.

In the US, the official health recommendations for fruit are two cups per day for a diet based on 2,000 daily calories – but it's estimated that 8 in 10 people aren't reaching that level, and consuming less than half that amount. Earlier this year these Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) were updated to cover 2025 to 2030, and while the recommended amount of fruit intake didn't change from the previous edition, there was a more subtle shift: Americans were advised to prioritize whole fruit over fruit juice where possible. A new study published in Current Developments in Nutrition backs up that shift in advice. In an analysis of the dietary habits of 371,000 participants, researchers led by a team from the University of North Dakota found that connections between fruit intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) varied depending on how it was consumed. While there was a noticeable association between higher whole fruit intake and better cardiovascular health, there was no clear and reliable pattern in the data when it came to 100 percent fruit juice and the same CVD conditions, the researchers found. Fresh oranges are different to fresh orange juice.

Last year, employees at Spotify built HR Bot, a program that serves as a personalized HR help desk. Companies big and small are embracing a DIY approach to software. With the help of AI, they're building tools that they could otherwise purchase from large enterprise software vendors like Workday, SAP, and Salesforce. West Monroe, a Chicago-based consultancy, wanted a program that could check payroll for errors and another that could surface useful insights for managers about its roughly 2,000 employees. Buying those capabilities from a vendor would have cost the company more than $300,000 a year, Tanya Moore, its chief people officer, estimated. To avoid that expense, employees built the software themselves earlier this year using OpenAI's ChatGPT and Codex, she said. For employers seeking custom internal tools, the options used to be limited: Buy from a vendor or keep doing the work manually. Generative AI has created a third option.

When choosing a charity, it can help to look at its experience, transparency, accountability and ability to reach people in crisis.

BackgroundGlobally, an estimated 11.5 million people are held in prisons, and in most countries the prison population is increasing [1]. People in prison experience multiple disadvantages such as prior experience of homelessness, substance use, mental ill-health, and higher exposure to trauma and abuse [2,3,4]. They face significantly poorer mental and physical health compared with the general population [5]. Whilst these inequalities are partly due to higher health needs on entering prison, the prison system itself can contribute to poor health due to structural and environmental barriers [6]. These challenges persist for individuals released from prison, who often face difficulties navigating community healthcare and experience interruptions in care [7]. The health inequalities people in prison face extend to oral health, they have a higher prevalence of untreated dental decay and periodontal disease, and the prevalence of dental infections is five times greater than in the general population [8,9,10]. People in prison are also more likely to suffer from substance use disorders, which is associated with poor oral health [11, 12].

Switzerland’s Simon Ehammer and Annik Kälin have been confirmed as the winners of the 2026 World Athletics Combined Events Tour, completing a historic Swiss double. Both athletes had finished runner-up in the 2022 tour, but no Swiss athlete had previously topped either the men’s or women’s standings in the tour or its forerunner, the Combined Events Challenge, which dates back to 1998. This year, Ehammer and Kälin each won with the second-highest winning score ever recorded in their respective standings.

True Brit Entertainment, the U. K. theatrical distributor that launched less than three years ago, has filed for administration, a British legal process similar to Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The company, which was founded by former Lionsgate U. K. & Europe CEO and Marv Studios Group CEO Zygi Kamasa, becomes the latest casualty of the U. K.’s extremely tough distribution market, having failed to ignite the local box office despite critically-acclaimed releases including “The Death of Robin Hood” starring Hugh Jackman.
