![]() It may well be that a man’s hormones aren’t to blame instead, a woman’s hormones may offer her some added lifespan benefits. On the other hand, there’s also a good amount of research linking low levels of testosterone to heart disease and poor health outcomes in men, so the relationships between testosterone and a man’s health are complex. While the links between testosterone and immune function aren’t clear, Min’s study points to lab research showing that testosterone may block the release of some disease-fighting immune cells. They found the eunuchs tended to live about 14 to 19 years longer than uncastrated men who shared their same socio-economic status. In a 2012 study published in the journal Current Biology, Min and his colleagues examined the historical health records of 81 Korean eunuchs: men who were castrated as children, and who therefore stopped producing much testosterone. “Male sex hormones decrease immune function and increase the risk for cardiovascular diseases,” says Kyung-Jin Min, a professor of biological sciences at Inha University in South Korea. Research from Duke University has found that elevated testosterone levels are associated with risky behaviors.Įxperts say testosterone may abbreviate a man’s lifespan in other ways. There’s evidence that a man’s biology-namely, his elevated levels of the male sex hormone testosterone-may lead him into the kind of trouble that could shorten his life. “They are also less likely to seek medical help early, and, if diagnosed with a disease, they are more likely to be non-adherent to treatment.” On top of all that, he says, men are more likely to take life-threatening risks and to die in car accidents, brawls or gun fights. “Men are more likely to smoke, drink excessively and be overweight,” he says. Why do women tend to outlive men? Sachdev says there are a few popular theories-some to do with biology, and some to do with behavior. ![]() Perminder Sachdev, a professor of neuropsychiatry at the University of New South Wales in Australia who has studied human longevity. “This gender gap in life expectancy is true for all societies, and it is also true for the great apes,” says Dr. This male-female lifespan gap is not a new phenomenon experts have known about it for decades. The World Health Organization’s HALE index, which calculates the number of years a man or woman can expect to live without a major disease or injury, finds that American men can look forward to 67 healthy years, while American women will enjoy 70 years of “full heath.” The average American man will live to age 76, according to the latest CDC figures, while the average woman in America will live to age 81.Īnd a woman’s extra years tend to be healthy ones. The numbers don’t lie: women tend to live longer than men. ![]()

While initially aloof to her allies and acquaintances, Bayonetta eventually warms up to them and displays fierce loyalty and protectiveness even in the worst of circumstances. Contrary to her bloody origin and training, though, Bayonetta is an outrageously carefree person who handles the angels sent after her with a mixture of playful sadism, camp, and sheer joy, all while remaining untouched by the carnage and ruin around her. Like other witches, Bayonetta's powers are the result of a contract with a demon of Inferno, hers being Madama Butterfly, and her skills in combat are a mixture of magical gunplay and martial arts. Her awakening and resultant desire to remember her identity starts the events of Bayonetta. In the midst of the Witch Hunts that put her life in danger, Bayonetta was sealed away without her memories for five hundred years. However, she was born at the center of conflict – her parents were an Umbra Witch, Rosa, and a Lumen Sage named Balder, and their union led to the destruction of both of their clans. Bayonetta is one of the Umbra Witches, a magical European clan that existed hundreds of years ago to protect the world's sacred darkness. "As long as there's music, I'll keep on dancing." ![]() Selbmann and Samarra spent this past summer broadcasting pilot whale recordings at killer whales equipped with tracking tags. “Are the killer whales avoiding the pilot whale sounds?” “Now we want to test the reverse,” says Selbmann. Previous research conducted in Norway showed that when scientists played the sound of killer whales to pilot whales, the pilot whales swam straight toward the sounds and swarmed the researchers’ boat. To gain insight into what could be driving the interactions, Selbmann and Samarra are performing acoustic playback experiments. Already, scientists have noticed other odd cases-such as how humpback whales seem to defend other whales against killer whale attacks. Researchers are beginning to pay more attention to the unusual interactions between different cetacean species, Ferguson says, noting which are capable of defending themselves against attack, and which become aggressive toward predators. However, there have been a few accounts of smaller prey species attacking the killer whales back. Steve Ferguson, a marine mammal ecologist at the University of Manitoba who is not involved with the research, says that the sightings are unusual because in so many other places killer whales are a top predator, and other smaller cetaceans tend to avoid them. Perhaps the pilot whales are viewing them as a threat, and responding accordingly. In other parts of the world, killer whales do feed on smaller whales such as minkes, belugas, and narwhals, and are even known to chase down larger baleen whales. “They’re not really a threat to pilot whales,” she says.īut Selbmann says it’s possible that the pilot whales didn’t know the killer whales weren’t a threat. For example, meerkats will throw sand at snakes.” But even this explanation isn’t ideal, Selbmann says, considering the killer whales aren’t known to eat the smaller pilot whales. “A lot of animals mob their predators to rob them of the element of surprise. “The other theory is that it’s anti-predator mobbing behavior,” explains Selbmann. Since the 2015 encounter, she’s seen similar interactions around 20 times.Īnna Selbmann (front left), Filipa Samarra (back left), and colleagues scan for whales off Iceland. Interactions between killer and pilot whales have only been scientifically documented a few times, and Samarra is among the first scientists to have observed this behavior in Iceland. “It’s very unusual that they’re afraid of anything-or seemingly afraid.” “It’s quite unusual because the killer whale is this top predator,” says Anna Selbmann, a doctoral candidate at the University of Iceland who is supervised by Samarra. ![]() As the whistling grew stronger a group of pilot whales came into view, and the killer whales seemed to turn and swim away. “Then the killer whales just went silent,” says Samarra, a biologist and lead investigator of the Icelandic Orca Project. She listened as they pipped, squealed, and clicked when suddenly her ears were filled with high-pitched whistling. In 2015, out on the choppy waters off southern Iceland, Samarra and her research team were eavesdropping on a group of killer whales.

![]() If one side cannot move a piece on the board at all, then a draw is reached automatically.Īgain, regardless of how many pieces are left on the board, the result is a stalemate. In chess, both sides must move a piece on their turn, even if they don’t want to move a piece because it will compromise their position. One player is unable to move any pieces, is not in check, and it is their turn.Not everyone is as strong a chess player as Magnus Carlsen, the current world champion of chess. Often, draws are not draws at all on the board based on the position. Some players would rather offer a draw than mess up a complicated position. If a player offers a draw and their opponent accepts, it is a draw no matter what the position is. Stalemate occurs in a few different ways: When a stalemate occurs, the game is considered drawn and both players receive half a point (1/2-1/2) What is Stalemate in Chess? a strange stalemate When a player has their king en prise, they must move it or capture the piece attacking their king.Ĭheckmate immediately ends the game, no matter how many pieces are left on the board. What is the difference between check and checkmate?Ĭheck does not immediately end the chess game, but rather alerts the player their king must be rescued or move. The rest of the board becomes irrelevant when checkmate is achieved because the game must end. Here is the checkmate with a lot of pieces on the board Here is the same checkmate with the rest of the pieces removed from the board. Notice how the pawn on g6 and the bishop on c4 protect the queen from the king’s recapture. Here are some examples to help visualize what this means.īlack is able to checkmate white in one move, however, white moved first and played Qf7, checkmate (written in notation as Qf7#). Some attacks can be stopped because of the threat of checkmate on the other side of the board.Īdditionally, some checkmates include sacrifices of strong pieces just to end the game by delivering checkmate. While it is important to play for a material advantage in chess, it is always important to keep the main goal of checkmate in the back of your mind while you play. The king is under direct attack, cannot move, and cannot recapture the pawn because the queen protects it. Here is a pawn delivering checkmate, despite the board being almost full of chess pieces. What is Checkmate?Ĭheckmate occurs in chess when you or your opponent’s king is in check, the king cannot move, and nothing can capture the piece delivering check.Ĭheckmate also means that the game must come to an immediate end, despite how many pieces are left on the board. In fact, it is not required to say “check” out loud in tournament play, but is generally a courtesy. In many blitz time controls, a kingtake will be allowed, resulting in an immediate loss for the second player.įor this reason, a lot of players won’t always say “check” out loud because winning the king wins on the spot. When this happens, the move is taken back and 2 minutes are added to the player who initiated check’s clock (if a clock is being used). ![]() If the king is in check and your opponent attempts to move another piece, an illegal move has occurred. When a king is threatened, you should verbally say “check” to inform the opponent that their king must move or the piece threatening the king must be removed from the board. What Happens if you Don’t say Check out loud? Unlike the rest of the pieces in the game, the king is never captured as it is a special piece that must be protected at all costs. A pawn delivering check A knight delivering check A bishop delivering check A rook delivering check A queen delivering check Notice the King cannot check another king because it would be putting itself into check by doing so. All of these examples are check, and not checkmate. Here are some examples using every type of chess piece to help visualize what check means. If the player cannot move out of danger and away from check, this is considered checkmate, and the game is over. When this happens, the king must move, or the piece attacking the king must be captured. What is Check?Ĭheck occurs when you or your opponent’s king is under attack and threatened to be captured by another piece. ![]()

Parachuteįun for kids of all ages, this game involves a large round parachute, preferably with handles, with people holding the parachute all around the edges. It had almost the same rules, but several sticks were used instead of one flag. We also played a similar game called Steal the Sticks. It is sometimes played that all the people in jail could hold hands and make a chain back toward their own territory, making it easier for members of their team to tag them. They can be sprung from jail by a member of their own team running into your territory, tagging them and running back, with one freed person allowed per jail break. You can tag "enemy" players in your territory, sending them to your jail. The object of the game is to run into the other team's territory, capture their flag and make it safely back to your own territory. Split the group into two teams, each team having a flag or other marker at the team's base. This game is most fun when played with a large group. Number of Players: Ideally at least three. The game is over once all the non-"it" players are in the holding pen. If one of the un-captured players manages to kick the can, the captured players are released. If a person is tagged by "it", they go into a holding pen for captured players. The other people run off and hide while the "it" covers his or her eyes and counts to a certain number. ![]() One person or a team of people are designated as "it" and a can is placed in the middle of the playing area. This game is a variation of tag and hide & seek. The general idea is that one person is "it," that person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking and then he or she tries to find the others. Sometimes there is a home base that you can run to and tag, becoming "safe," sometimes you just wait to be found. Sometimes you count to twenty, sometimes ten, sometimes one hundred. I've heard of all kinds of variations on this game. ![]() Most parents have played with their kids, since hiding and finding is a common interest of small children. Use your imagination!
