What Is Ghrelin? Simply stated, ghrelin is a hormone that stimulates appetite. Thus, anything that increases ghrelin levels will increase appetite, and this can lead to weight gain and obesity. Ghrelin is produced mainly by the stomach and duodenum. It has been found to play a role in what is known as meal-time hunger, as well as in the regulation of weight gain and loss over the long run. Ghrelin is sometimes thought of as leptin’s counterpart because leptin (another appetite-regulating hormone, produced by adipose tissue) suppresses appetite as its levels increase....

TechCrunch then reached out to Apple and managed to extract an explanation. It turns out its to do with ultra wideband tech inside the new handset which might be something to do with Apple’s upcoming tag product. A spokesperson told TechCrunch:...

To promote the phone Asus has launched an interesting teaser where the phone is launched out of the tablet. However the launch iPhone 5S may prove competitive for the Asus Pad fone. With the 4-inch screen, A7 processor, better graphics and better battery life, Apple iPhone 5S looks solid....

At Apple’s recent media event at the Town Hall in Cupertino the tech giant’s new flagship device the iPhone 5s was revealed. As expected the iPhone 5s specifications are better than the outgoing iPhone 5. Let us see how the Galaxy S4 specifications compare to Apple’s latest device.

The images, which show a supposed curved screen, somehow resemble a Nokia Lumia 920, except with an Apple logo on the back. One of the biggest reasons to doubt the authenticity of these images is the change in design. Knowing Apple, it wouldn’t change the form factor in an S version. Take the iPhone 4S for instance – it looked the same as the iPhone 4, except with a few additional features....

An update to tvOS adds Apple Arcade, the new subscription gaming service from Apple. The main talking point for many iPhone users with iOS 13 will be the new dark mode, but there’s a lot more useful stuff to get excited about. iOS 13.1 adds in audio sharing where headphones like AirPods or Powerbeats Pro with the H1 or W1 chip can connected to one iPhone at a time. It’s the wired headphone splitter for the twenty-first century....

Their new neighbors, the sweet elderly Castevet couple, are, at first, intriguing people. They are polite, quirky, and sympathetic, albeit a bit intrusive. After Rosemary discovers she is pregnant, the intrusiveness of the neighbors grows into more sinister proportions. Present in many respectable lists of Top 10 Horror Movies, this unnerving, slow-burning movie is a masterful display of tense atmosphere creation and dread-building in film. But what can such a late prequel do to honor the timeless horror classic?...

Upon having a look at Apex Legends leaked image of the new gun, you can say that it may fall under the category of SMG or AR. Personally, the gun behind Mirage looks like an SMG with a high fire rate and low damage, though it’s hypothetical. Apex Legends developers Respawn Entertainment has not yet confirmed anything about the new gun. We will update you all on the topic if any new news arrives....

Apex Legends is a movement shooter, meaning aggression and mobility usually win fights more so than camping a single spot. Rampart seems to be the most useful during the late game, where there is less space to move and the aim of the match is to hold a spot for as long as possible. Still, even with the ring slowly closing in, there are other defensive legends which can do the job more efficiently with their abilities (i....

Among the issues players believe need changing is the leveling system. For a while now, the level cap in Apex Legends has been stuck at 500. This means that once a player reaches this impressive milestone, they no longer can level up further. In addition to this leveling system, some have argued that skins have become overpriced in the game. Many have cited the Prestige Bloodhound skin as an example, noting that it could cost $164 to unlock in the upcoming Anniversary Collection Event....

This leak comes as a bit of a surprise, Respawn has denied that Solos would ever return to Apex Legends, as recently as last week. Back in April of last year Respawn released a statement saying how Solos, “actually negatively impacted the game, especially when it came to new player retention” because the entire design philosophy of Apex Legends revolves around each legend’s abilities complimenting one another.

The KFC Gaming Twitter account recently tweeted a picture of Apex Legends being poked with a stick, with the caption “C’mon, do something…” This is clearly a jab at the lack of major updates for Apex Legends, as the game has remained largely unchanged since launch with the exception of the Season 1 update that added Octane. Respawn Entertainment didn’t take the criticism lying down, however. Apex Legends developer Rayme Vinson replied to KFC’s tweet, firing back at the fast food company by taking a shot at how it makes its food....

The airline made the offer to the University of Southern California, which announced the agreement for the naming rights last year as part of its $270 million renovation of the nearly century-old landmark. The planned name, United Airlines Memorial Coliseum, drew blowback from some veterans and a key official this week. United Airlines California President Janet Lamkin said in a letter to USC official Todd Dickey that the company made “a significant commitment to financing this project” in exchange for the naming rights and was careful to keep the words “Memorial Coliseum” to honor the memory of veterans....
