Samuel Axon Three things in life are certain: death, taxes and new iPhones in September. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that this year’s iPhone event will take place on Wednesday, September 7. According to Gurman, the non-professional iPhone 14 series will exceed the size of the 5.4-inch mini screen that Apple has sold for the past two generations. Instead, the standard 6.1-inch model will be joined by a large-screen 6.7-inch version, matching the screen size of the current iPhone Pro Max model....

Bloomberg News reported Wednesday that the tech giant will update its flagship smartphone amid a busy fall product rollout that includes three new Apple Watch models and several new versions of Macs and iPads by the end of the year. But the launch of the iPhone 14 is by far the biggest deal for Apple.

Using historical and genetic data, scientists have traced the origins of what they call “the fastest rate of colonization for an introduced mammal ever recorded.” New research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has confirmed what historians have long suspected: that the country’s rabbit infestation originated at Barwon Park, the estate of Thomas Austin, near Geelong in Victoria. The European rabbit, Oryctolagus cuniculus, was first introduced to mainland Australia with the First Fleet in 1788, when five domestic rabbits were brought to Sydney....

Dom Pedro, a beloved figure in both Brazilian and Portuguese history, was divided between the two countries by death – his heart enshrined in a church in Porto, Portugal, and his remains in an independence monument in Sao Paulo, Brazil . But after Porto city officials agreed to return the heart on loan, it arrived in Brazil on Monday for the country’s 200-year independence celebrations on September 7. The heart, kept in a glass jar in a golden urn, arrived with all the pomp of a state visit....

“The signals in the data suggest that something is wrong,” he said. “Continued increases in deaths should trigger an investigation that may include access to the raw data on death certificates, a random sample of medical notes or analysis of autopsies. “I feel there is a lack of clear thinking at the moment and, when it comes to people’s health and wellbeing, you can’t wait – it’s unacceptable.” Huge numbers of excess deaths appear to be happening at home, with 681 recorded in the latest Office for National Statistics release on Tuesday – 28....

Researchers in Japan say they have discovered that dogs produce tears when they are reunited with their owners. In addition, boldness appears to be linked to levels of the ‘bonding hormone’ oxytocin. “This is the first report showing that positive emotion stimulates tear secretion in a non-human animal and that oxytocin functions in tear secretion,” the team said. Writing in the journal Current Biology, they describe how eye contact between humans and dogs encourages the former to care for the latter, while a dog’s gaze can trigger the release of oxytocin in its owner....
