While details on those missions have not been released—apparently, they were not deployed in a massive Israeli air attack on Iranian forces in Syria... Читать дальше...
Solar developers and investors may have to brace for solar panel costs to start rising after a 30-percent plunge last year. The period of ultra-cheap solar panels is over, according to the president of one of China’s largest solar panel manufacturers.

Champ-champs are all the rage in modern-day mixed martial arts, and Ryan Bader makes his bid to join the esteemed group at Bellator 214 when he takes on the legendary Fedor Emelianenko. For Bader — already the Bellator light-heavyweight champion — it would be a career-defining accomplishment. Once viewed as among the most promising light-heavyweights in the world, his UFC run hit a speed bump upon losing to Tito Ortiz in a shocking July 2011 upset. That defeat caused long-lasting reputational... Читать дальше...

As much as I liked Ex Machina, I skipped out on Annihilation while it was in theaters, in part because the lack of studio confidence in it seemed to speak pretty poorly of how the film turned out.
