A water mite has been named after Jennifer Lopez by a group of scientists who discovered the new species in Puerto Rico.

Biologist Vladimir Pesic said that the team decided on the unusual accolade as a token of gratitude to the singer for her hits such as “Ain't It Funny,” ''I Luh Ya Papi" and his all-time favourite, "All I Have".

"The reason behind the unusual choice of name for the new species is simple: J.Lo's songs and videos kept the team in a continuous good mood when writing the manuscript and watching World Cup Soccer 2014," Pesic told AP.

The scientists have grandly christened the mite Litarachna Lopezae, after the species was found in the coral reef of Mona Passage, the waters that separate Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. The Lopez mite was discovered at a depth of nearly 70 metres.

Lopez – who we trust is suitably flattered by the honour – is in good company. A series of high-profile figures have been honoured by having animals named after them; Mick Jagger has a well-known fossil group, a type of trilobite, named after him and Bob Marley was the name given to a marine parasite found in the Caribbean sea.

When it comes to Kiss, whether you suffer from terminal overexposure or eagerly shell out your hard-earned cash for every piece of music and merchandise, you can’t deny that the band’s four kabuki-makeup characters figure among rock’s most iconic images. But should the band’s new members wear the designs made famous by their famous predecessors?

The cultural penetration of the Kiss brand is such that that lovers and haters alike are intimately familiar with the Demon (Gene Simmons), the Star Child (Paul Stanley), the Spaceman (Ace Frehley) and the Cat (Peter Criss) — regardless of the niggling fact that, for more than a decade now, the latter pair has been sported by replacement guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer, respectively.



Such was the sanctity of the original four Kiss characters that when Criss and Frehley first fell afoul of Stanley and Simmons, the latter half went to great lengths to masquerade their former bandmates’ departures — first by hiring session musicians to help maintain the ruse that both men were still active members of the group and then by replacing them with new players (drummer Eric Carr, a.k.a. the Fox, and guitarist Vinnie Vincent, the, ahem, Ankh Warrior) who boasted relatively related white-face makeup, a move that was supposed to soften the blow for hardcore fans.

The new Caterham CT05 finally broke cover at Jerez after a delayed launch due to a few early teething problems.

The Caterham left the garage at 15:10 on the first day of testing and features another different take on the new nose regulations. New driver Marcus Ericsson was at the wheel.

But the new nose design was criticised by Adrian Newey. "If you hit the back of a car square-on, you go underneath and you end up with a rear-crash structure in your face, a much worse scenario," he said.

The CT05 features a the team's standard green livery along with the unique nose and front wing. This year Ericsson is joined by Formula One returnee Kamui Kobayashi, who missed the 2013 season after losing his Sauber drive.

Ferrari has launched its 2014 car, F14 T, at its base in Maranello, Italy.

The car carries the hopes of Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen this year as the team enters Formula One's new turbo era with one of the most talented driver line-ups on the grid. It features a different take on the new 2014 nose regulations compared to the McLaren, Williams, Force India and Lotus seen so far, with a sloping but still odd looking nose cone. Ferrari has also stuck with the pull-rod front suspension design it has been using since 2012.

New technical director James Allison was present at the launch in Ferrari's race bay but was not involved with most of the design process of the car, which was overseen by Pat Fry, Fabio Montecchi and chief designer Nikolas Tombazis. Legendary Ferrari designer Rory Byrne was also consulted on the project.

Team principal Stefano Domenicali said the new additions to the technical team and the upgrades to the wind tunnel, which is now operational at Maranello, have been crucial for Ferrari to make a step forward.

"In the last couple of years the changes and investment we have made in Formula One has been very important and significant," Domenicali said. "Some have been spectacular in terms of names that were in the Formula One world and some others less, but nevertheless the changes were very important.

"Not only the organisation of the people, but also investment in the new windtunnel and tools of the simulation that are really important to make sure all the group of engineers can make the difference."

The new car is the second to break cover after McLaren's MP4-29 on Friday and the first of the Ferrari-engined cars to emerge.
