Ancient rock engravings in what's now South America — believed to be among the largest in the world — were meant to mark the boundaries of the territories inhabited by their makers, according to a new study. Birds, Amazonian centipedes, human figures and geometric shapes are among the designs, found across 14 sites — most already known, but some newly discovered — along a 60-mile stretch of the Orinoco River, in present-day Venezuela and Colombia. The most represented motif is gigantic snakes, and one in particular, at about 138 feet in length, is likely the single largest rock engraving recorded anywhere in the world, the researchers suggested. https://cnn.it/4bHNT3e

The number of job openings in the US shrank for the second month in a row, setting a new three-year low amid further signals of cooling in the labor market. There were 8.06 million available jobs posted in April, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS) report released Tuesday.

Soccer superstar Lionel Messi has partnered with White Claw’s parent company to create a new hydration beverage, marking his entrance into the $33 billion category dominated by entrenched competitors Paul’s Prime, Gatorade and BodyArmor that have been vying for consumers’ growing thirst for energy drinks. Despite Messi’s star power, the drink still faces a challenging market, with longstanding competitors. And the drink is also a new foray into non-alcoholic drinks for Mark Anthony Brands, as Americans consume less alcohol. Más+ by Messi is a low-sugar drink containing electrolytes and vitamins without artificial sweeteners, colors or caffeine. It comes in four flavors including Miami Punch for his current team Inter Miami and Orange d’Or, a nod to the eight times he won the prestigious Ballon d’Or trophy.
