Summit Entertainment When Miles Teller signed on to star in the “Divergent” franchise, he wasn’t a major star. He’d largely been in films like “Rabbit Hole,” “The Spectacular Now,” and “Project X,” but if you watched “Divergent” looking for more movies like “Project X,” you were likely to be pretty disappointed. Unlike those other three films, which are all about teenagers caught up in situations that might happen in the real world, “Divergent” is a dystopian franchise adapted from a YA book series by Veronica Roth, in which teenagers live in a world where they’re…

While a group of Bengaluru residents had already moved the court raising similar issues, including the tender process and approvals for the project, Belawadi’s petition specifically opposed any alienation of Lalbagh’s land by the horticultural department and also called for a geological impact survey.

Researchers from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) identified the larva as a new species and genus, naming it Cretosabethes primaevus. Unlike earlier fossil finds, which often feature bizarre and extinct lineages, this ancient larva closely resembles its modern relatives, an unexpected finding that challenges decades of scientific assumptions. The evolutionary origins of mosquitoes have long puzzled entomologists. While adult specimens from the Cretaceous have been found in amber before, these belonged to the now-extinct group Burmaculicinae, with features unlike those of any living species. This new discovery is radically different: not only is it a larva, the first ever found from this…
