While filming his National Geographic adventure docuseries Limitless, Hollywood actor Chris Hemsworth discovered something concerning his health that has him concerned about his future. The Thor star took regular testing while filming Disney plus's current series, which indicated he is at an elevated risk of acquiring Alzheimer's. Chris claimed in a recent interview with Vanity Fair that he learned about the "warning" during an episode of the show. In response, the actor stated that what he learned was "my worst nightmare." During a recent interview with the magazine, the actor revealed that he carries two copies of the APOE4 gene, which has been linked to an elevated risk of Alzheimer's disease in certain studies.

While discussing the revelation of his health issue, the Thorstar stressed that it does not imply he has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's, nor does it indicate he would definitely get the ailment. However, the discovery is still cause for alarm. The actor confessed in his interview that he is "eight to ten times more likely" to get the illness. "My worry was that I didn't want to twist it, overdramatize it, and turn it into some sort of corny try at empathy, or whatever, for entertainment," Chris told Vanity Fair. "I haven't been handed my resignation."

Chris went on to say that the news didn't surprise him because his grandfather had Alzheimer's disease. He stated that the revelation drove him to confront his own mortality. "Most of us want to avoid talking about mortality," Chris continued. Then, all of a sudden, we're told that certain major signs are pointing to this being the path that will be taken, and the reality of it hits in. "Your own demise."

David Warner / Google image David Warner has praised the opportunity to request a review of his lifetime suspension from team captaincy in Australia, but he has also criticized the nation's cricket authority for taking so long to set up the procedure. In 2018, after being found to have been the primary perpetrator in the Newlands ball-tampering scandal, opening batter Ryan Warner was given a one-year suspension from the game as well as a lifetime ban from any positions of authority. Now that Cricket Australia (CA) has accepted revisions to its integrity code to enable players and staff to obtain relief from lengthy bans, the former Test vice-captain is able to ask for a review of the leadership ban. The modifications were officially announced on Monday, nine months after the Australian Players' Union wrote to CA in February to request that Warner's suspension be lifted. In comparison to the four days the board took to suspend him when the ball-tampering scandal broke in 201

A detail of Trevor Paglen's installation "They Took the Faces From the Accused and the Dead," which culls 3,240 photos of people whose faces were used to train facial algorithm software without their consent.  Over 3,000 black-and-white mugshots stare out from a wall-size canvas. They are the faces of people who've been accused of crimes, and sometimes, incarcerated. They are also the faces of people whose likenesses were used, without their consent, to train  facial recognition software  before social media became a primary source of visual data for algorithm training.  This is artist Trevor Paglen's haunting installation "They Took the Faces from the Accused and the Dead," on display at San Francisco's de Young Museum starting Saturday.
