New Map Covers All Matter in the Universe
It's a true map of the stars.
Scientists have released one of the most precise measurements ever made of how matter is distributed across the universe today.
When the universe began, matter was flung outward and gradually formed the planets, stars, and galaxies that we know and love today. By carefully assembling a map of that matter, scientists can try to understand the forces that shaped the evolution of the universe.
Among other findings, the analysis indicates that matter is not as "clumpy" as we would expect based on our current best model of the universe, which adds to a body of evidence that there may be something missing from our existing standard model of the universe.
After the Big Bang created all the matter in the universe in a very hot, intense few moments about 13 billion years ago, this matter has been spreading outward, cooling and clumping as it goes. Scientists are very interested in tracing the path of this matter; by seeing where all the matter ended up, they can try to recreate what happened and what forces would have had to have been in play.
The first step is collecting enormous amounts of data with telescopes.
In this study, scientists combined data from two very different telescope surveys: The Dark Energy Survey, which surveyed the sky over six years from a mountaintop in Chile, and the South Pole Telescope, which looks for the faint traces of radiation that are still traveling across the sky from the first few moments of the universe.
Combining two different methods of looking at the sky reduces the chance that an error in one of the forms of measurement throws off the results.
"It functions like a cross-check, so it becomes a much more robust measurement than if you just used one or the other," says University of Chicago astrophysicist Chihway Chang, one of the lead authors of the studies.
In both cases, the analysis looked at a phenomenon called gravitational lensing. As light travels across the universe, it can be slightly bent as it passes objects with lots of gravity, like galaxies.
This method catches both regular matter and dark matter—the mysterious form of matter that we have only detected due to its effects on regular matter—because both regular and dark matter exert gravity.
By rigorously analyzing these two sets of data, the scientists could infer where all the matter ended up in the universe. It is more precise than previous measurements—that is, it narrows down the possibilities for where this matter wound up—compared to previous analyses, the authors say.
The majority of the results fit perfectly with the currently accepted best theory of the universe.
But there are also signs of a crack—one that has been suggested in the past by other analyses, too.
"It seems like there are slightly less fluctuations in the current universe than we would predict assuming our standard cosmological model anchored to the early universe," says analysis coauthor and University of Hawaii astrophysicist Eric Baxter.
That is, if you make a model incorporating all the currently accepted physical laws, then take the readings from the beginning of the universe and extrapolate it forward through time, the results look slightly different from what we actually measure around us today.
Specifically, today's readings find the universe is less "clumpy"—clustering in certain areas rather than evenly spread out—than the model would predict.
If other studies continue to find the same results, the scientists say, it may mean there is something missing from our existing model of the universe, but the results are not yet to the statistical level that scientists consider to be ironclad. That will take further study.
However, the analysis is a landmark as it yielded useful information from two very different telescope surveys. This is a much-anticipated strategy for the future of astrophysics, as more large telescopes come online in the next decades, but few had actually been carried out yet.
"I think this exercise showed both the challenges and benefits of doing these kinds of analyses," Chang says. "There's a lot of new things you can do when you combine these different angles of looking at the universe."
The studies can be found in three papers in the journal Physical Review D (one, two, three).
The South Pole Telescope is primarily funded by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Energy and is operated by a collaboration led by the University of Chicago. The Dark Energy Survey was an international collaboration coordinated through Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and funded by the Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and many institutions around the world.

Soundproofing your music room is vital if you're a budding musician and want to practise without the worry of disturbing the rest of the household, or even neighbours. You might also be a music teacher, working from a converted garage or spare room, with music constantly seeping from your walls and disturbing the neighbours.
Whether you're a classical violinist or the next Black Sabbath, soundproofing your music room will mean hassle-free harmonies. At Global Acosutic, we've been at the forefront of high-performance, practical materials and installations that have soundproofed music rooms for 25 years. With our experience and knowledge, you'll get the best acoustic solution for your needs.
Whether your child is learning to play a new instrument or you dabble in your free time, you need a music room. And this space needs to be private with the best acoustics possible.
Practicing is not only important to the development of musical talent, it's key to creating a professional music career. The freedom to practice at any hour of the day or night and a dedicated space with professional sound quality…it's any musician's dream.
And yet, it's completely possible. You can have a space that produces top sound quality without the worry of bothering others. All you need is music room soundproofing.
Many homeowners come to Global Acoustic because they want to support their child's dream. Private and public schools and universities rely on Global Acoustic to create better music rooms for their students. Whatever your reason, we have music room soundproofing that will create a dedicated space for creating music.
Unless you live in a stately home, chances are that your music room isn't bespoke. It might be your garage or a spare bedroom. If you play a cello, flute, drums or guitar in there, you're going to be a nuisance to the rest of the family and possibly to neighbours. Luckily, soundproofing your music room needn't be as expensive as you might imagine.
The perfect solution when soundproofing for walls and ceilings of your music room is Global Acosutic's Maxiboard. Maxiboard is a wall and ceiling soundproofing system that's separate from the wall. The Maxiboard sits on resilient bars to create a semi-independent, dense skin on the workshop wall or ceiling. Best of all, because it sits only 6cms away from the wall, you lose little of your valuable space.
Maxiboard is a highly effective soundproofing system for music rooms, and it's very simple and quick to install. You can use Maxiboard to soundproof everything from a single wall to the entire room, including the ceiling, so that you get to practise your music in a soundproof box.
If you want to go further and ensure that your music room is completely soundproofed, at Global Acosutic, we have more products that can help. If your music room is on the first floor, it can help to soundproof the floor. With Acoustilay, the original acoustic underlay, you can effectively reduce impact and airborne noise. It's quick and simple to install and adds little to the floor build-up. Acoustilay is compatible with a wide range of floor finishes.
For heavy-duty music-room soundproofing for floors, try Maxideck. Maxideck is even heavier than Acoustilay, offering maximum soundproofing, yet it's only 28mms thick.
You can soundproof your music room, but you should also consider internal acoustics. That's because, when you perform on a stage, you'll get very different acoustics from those you get in your makeshift music room. That's because of the smaller size of the room and because of the surface finishes used. Thankfully, with Global Acosutic's Sonata acoustic panels, you can make your music room more absorbent, reduce reverberation and improve the acoustics. Sonata panels are simple and quick to install onto walls or ceilings. Sonata absorbent panels come in a range of sizes, thicknesses and colours to suit every music room.
Most music room soundproofing projects need both soundproofing and sound absorption materials. To understand which music room soundproofing products you need, you first need to think about how sound acts.
Sound absorption materials are applied to the interior of the room. They soak up sound waves, preventing them from bouncing back off the walls. Echo and reverberation is minimized. While these products do an excellent job of improving sound quality, they are not made to block sound.
Music room soundproofing products trap the sound. They are designed to stop sound from moving from one space to another. The sound is contained within the practice room and doesn't reach other parts of your house. In addition to keeping sound from leaking out, music room soundproofing products also stop unwanted sound from entering the room.
Often musicians think music room soundproofing means creating a totally soundproofed area. To achieve this in a private residence is practically impossible and extremely expensive. A term that better fits your music room soundproofing objectives is Sound Isolation.
Sound isolation requires a sound barrier between your practice room and adjacent rooms. One way to isolate an area is to install dense music room soundproofing products. Their heavy mass blocks the sound.
Another way to isolate your practice area is to create air space between walls and reduce the number of contact points between building materials. When construction elements aren't physically touching, the sound waves can't be passed from one to the other.

Uncertainty still swirls around the United Kingdom and the issue of Brexit; will it happen or won't it? And if it does happen what form will it take? Well, the first moves toward a British exit from the European Union coincided with the announcement that a trade deal has "in principle" been agreed with Israel.
Britain's International Development Secretary Liam Fox, a key cabinet supporter of Brexit, made the announcement on Wednesday afternoon alongside Israel's Economy Minister Eli Cohen.
Mark Regev, Israel's Ambassador to the United Kingdom was understandably delighted with the agreement, tweeting it was more "excellent news for the rapidly-growing UK-Israel partnership.
More excellent news for the rapidly growing Israel-UK partnership, last year alone worth £7bn in trade. https://t.co/hMNS0qLCSc
— Mark Regev (@MarkRegev) January 23, 2019
Fox and Cohen's joint announcement came at Davos, Switzerland, host of the World Economic Forum.
"I'm delighted that as Britain prepares to leave the European Union, and to ensure continuity for our businesses in both directions, we've reached agreement in principle today with our colleagues in Israel," said Fox.
"Israel has been one of the most cooperative and productive partners in this relationship, where our trade is already strong and set to go further," he maintained, adding that it was a "precursor to an even more ambitious agreement in the future."
BREAKING News from @Davos: ???????? and ???????? have agreed in principle a UK-Israel agreement. Here is the video of Eli Cohen (Israel's Minister of the Economy) and I making the announcement at @wef. @netanyahu #FreeTradeIsGREAT #FreeTrade #WEF2019 #wef #wef19 pic.twitter.com/odbZtWr4Uo
— Dr Liam Fox MP (@LiamFox) January 23, 2019
In response, Cohen predicted that the in-principle agreement would "accelerate, increase and strengthen our economic relationship," with a UK-Israel trade and investment conference scheduled for London in the coming months.
Fox made it clear that he would like to sign trade agreements with other trading partners outside of the European Union.

Three times a day, I trek across campus with a group of colleagues, most of whom are in finance and economics. Conversation, not surprisingly, has often been on the financial mess the world is in. How different the world would be if people in operations research ruled the world! We'd need a little more centralization, of course, since our models tend to work better if we can impose "best" solutions. And, undoubtedly, we would forget a constraint or two along the way, and perhaps ignore some stochastic elements that are a little hard to handle. But I think we probably would have avoided the nuttiness that resulted in things like Iceland going bankrupt.
Now we are in the midst of yet another bailout. This one seems to have a few more rules (as opposed to last year's bailout that seems to have completely disappeared with no effect). Among other things, it limits compensation for some of the bankers to a mere $500,000. Of course, this has the bankers all in a tizzy: we need multi-million dollar compensation to keep the best people! Well, yes, given the past success of these people, perhaps we should pay them more just to keep them out of the more important parts of the economy, like food production and the manufacture of real things (though don't get me started on the auto industry in the US)!
The new stimulus package includes good news that the National Science Foundation received an additional $3 billion, bringing its budget up to about $10 billion. That number really puts the $787 billion stimulus package in perspective. Instead of getting 78 NSFs we are getting … what exactly?
Added 6:20PM. As one of my less kind colleagues noted, this is exactly what I need for my proposals "ranked in the bottom 2%". Finally summer support!

Myanmar security forces kill over 80 in single day, monitoring group says
Myanmar security forces killed at least 82 people during anti-coup protests in the town of Bago on Friday, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners monitoring group.
What they're saying: "It is like genocide," Myanmar Now news outlet quoted protester organizer Ye Htut as saying, per Reuters. "They are shooting at every shadow."
What happened: Security forces fired rifle grenades at protesters in Bago, 55 miles northeast of Yangon, before dawn on Friday and continued their attack into the afternoon, Myanmar Now reported, according to Reuters.
- Details of the attack weren't immediately available because "security forces piled up bodies in the Zeyar Muni pagoda compound and cordoned off the area," Reuters reported, citing witnesses and domestic media outlets.
- The United Nations in Myanmar tweeted on Saturday it was "following events in Bago with reports of heavy artillery being used against civilians and medical treatment being denied to those injured."
- The UN called on security forces to allow medical teams to treat those injured and demanded the violence "cease immediately."
The big picture: More than 701 people, including dozens of children, have been killed since the Feb. 1 military coup, according to AAPP.
- Thousands have been detained.
- Junta spokesperson Major General Zaw Min Tun said in a news conference this week that the military recorded 248 civilian and 10 police deaths, per Reuters. He also denied that security forces were using automatic weapons and defended their actions.
The U.S. ambassador to the UN on Friday called for the international community to take "concrete action" against Myanmar's military, including imposing an arms embargo and sanctions, per AP.
- "I say categorically, we cannot — we simply cannot — allow the military to destabilize the region once again through its unrelenting campaign of violence, their campaign of repression, and especially — especially — against the backdrop of an unprecedented global pandemic," Linda Thomas-Greenfield said.

Designers, color consultants and other professionals share what's in and what's out for 2021.
High-contrast colorways
"I often find my clients steering toward neutral/safe colors and tones. However, lately there has been a spike in demand for bold colors, especially black and white, as the two contrast significantly. Moderation is key—so an accent chair in black fabric, a black rug or even a luxurious black wallpaper can add endless character to any room." —Luciana Fragali, owner, Design Solutions, Miami
Warmer, richer tones
"Since up is now down and left is right, the one thing clients are reaching out for is the comfort of familiarity. The trend will be away from the long-lived icy and sterile gray palette. It will morph into one which is defined by the comfortable presence of natural materials. You will see gray replaced by its warmer cousins, taupe and dusty rose-brown. Inspiration will come from reference to stone, wood, brick and moss. Colors will not be high intensity but will be rich tones mimicking those found in nature. The strongest color you might see will be a dusty plum or red madder, but these will be quite muted. A low-contrast use of color, nothing jarring, will be the approach taken to decorating." —Beverly Ferguson, ASID Allied Member, designer/principal, The Reflective Designer, Stow, MA
Plant-inspired greens
"We are using a lot more green in our projects lately: emerald green, hunter green, sage green. With this new trend toward bringing the outdoors in by mixing natural elements in interior spaces, greenery and fabrics in any shade of green work so well. At New South Home, we are traditionally huge fans of any shade of blue, but green is our 2021 favorite!" —Melissa Lee, principal designer and CEO, New South Home, Charlotte, NC
"Green has so many ranges. It can be more read as a neutral or really loud and bold. Either way, it makes such a beautiful statement in a room. Our 100 percent linen draperies in Agave really bring this crisp white room to life." —Haley Weidenbaum, founder, Everhem, Los Angeles
Vibrant, happy shades
"With the world feeling more uncertain and tumultuous by the day, people are turning to vibrant shades pulled from nature to uplift and ground their homes. We'll see a move toward brighter colors that make our homes feel happy. Blue'd Up is a spellbinding, violet-blue hue that pairs well with a variety of other colors and has an almost chameleonlike effect. It can sway the vibe from tranquil to cheery depending on the light and furniture in your space." —Nicole Gibbons, founder, Clare, New York
"The theme of this year's ColorMix Forecast celebrates the 'Rhythm of Color.' It focuses on bringing balance after a tumultuous year. For many people, 2020 brought out a desire for creative expression. That was the top influence in our Tapestry palette. The happy and modern hues are meant to signal joy and layer together to tell a story through texture and pattern. Additional influences, such as security, reinvented classics and sensory exploration, can be found in standout, vibrant colors like Jaipur Pink SW 6577, Alexandrite SW 0060 and Perfect Periwinkle SW 9065." —Sue Wadden, director of color marketing, Sherwin-Williams, Cleveland
"Cottagecore is a design style inspired by nostalgia for a simpler, agrarian lifestyle. We have seen its growth during the COVID epidemic as so many people are quarantined in their homes. This style builds on farmhouse décor, with white as a foundation color and splashes of earthy neutrals and colors such as greens, tans and browns—anything you would see in nature, which is pretty colorful. In the last couple of months, we have frequently seen the word "cottage" in our customer visions for their color consults. Homeowners are looking for serene, warm and comfortable decor since they are stuck at home." —Michelle Marceny, founder, The Color Concierge, Denver, CO

A Cameroonian man in the West Region anally abused his two children; a boy and a girl.
Their mother; Flavie, was a guest on Equinoxe TV Program; Regarde Sociale.
She narrates that she and the man in question had separated, but they have two children together; a boy and a girl, who are still very young.
They were in the man's house with his new wife. When she went to collect them, she noticed that they were very pale, she said to herself that perhaps their father and his new wife were not feeding them well. On the way home, her daughter complained to her that her buttocks was paining. She didn't pay attention she thought the child was just talking.
Upon getting home, her son excreted on his body. She cleaned it and thought maybe he had diarrhoea. She went and bought drugs for diarrhoea After a few minutes he excreted again, she beat him, thinking it was naughtiness, but then she saw blood on the excreta so she decided to check to see where the blood was coming from, then she noticed that the boy's anus was open.
She rushed to the hospital, nurses interrogated her daughter, because her son had been so traumatised he couldn't speak, he's acting like a fool. But her daughter can atleast talk. So when asked, the daughter said her father used to rub savon on her anus and insert his manhood inside it.
So the man had abused her and her brother too. Both of their anuses were opened. The girl's wasn't as bad as the boy's meaning he abused the boy more.
The lady reported the man to the police, he got called for questioning but he refused to come saying that he was in the village getting married, he would come after one week.
After one week, he got called again, and he said he cannot make it to the station till after one month.
The woman has exhausted all her resources trying to treat her children.
Watch her narrate in video below:

- An easy way to circumvent this is to cast Invisible on yourself so that you can get in a good position to cast without being seen by the Goblin. You can run to either side right as your spell goes off and you https://yourloansllc.com/bad-credit-loans-ms/ will be able to cast with no problems.
54-59 – West Sarutabaruta (S)
895 – 935 Note: Burst in Wind/Fire, Quake on Fire, Tornado on Earth. p Location(s): West Sarutabaruta (S) Camp #1: F-7 (closed entrance to Giddeus) There is a Yagudo Mendicant and Yagudo Piper that wander E-W in front of a group of 8 pillars. They do not walk down the pillar area, so it is safe to rest/cast within the 3 sets of southward pillars. There is a perfect camp just south of the main path at the F-6/G-6 border. Here you will notice a Mendicant. If you continue a little further south you will find another. You can camp between these two, giving the opportunity to pull from the north or the south. Note that Pixie Raise III's allow for no EXP loss, which was quite helpful while I camped this location Camp #3: F-6 — This camp uses the first Yagudo from camp #2 (the Yagudo Mendicant to the north). You can cast spells from around the corner near the F-6/G-6 border – as long as you don't go past the tree in the corner you'll stay out of aggro range.You can also stand to the side of the tree past the grassy area, you will know it when you stand on it, and you will never be out of range of casting on an elemental. The Elementals will be in casting range for about 90% of the time. Using this camp you'll have a easier time getting to the pixies in case you get in trouble, as there are no other Yags along the way.
Also if you run into trouble you can run back to G-6 where two pixies roam and will gladly give you free raise III's
- Was able to one-shot Wind Fire elementals almost always. A drain-able sliver of health was usually left on Earth elementals.
- Elementals never seemed to be out of casting range and Yagudos never within aggro range (stand between the second pair of pillars from the north to cast). -able of course so MP was not an issue.
- Close to a Campaign front if you need an emergency Instant Reraise scroll.
- Even closer to a pair of Pixies who'll give you free Raise III's that allow for no EXP loss.
- Chain 5 easily.
Also if you run into trouble you can run back to G-6 where two pixies roam and will gladly give you free raise III's
- I would definitely recommend this camp. It is extremely accessible through the use of Campaign Arbiters. Although the Pso'Xja camp is probably better exp once you get there, this camp is a great alternative and is rarely occupied! I first came to this camp as 55BLM/WHM (Hume F) with notable equipment being Moldy Earring, AF gloves and equipment giving INT+24 (without food). I did not possess any HQ elemental staves but was able to one-shot each variety of elemental pretty consistently, although as stated above, the Earth Elementals did sometimes have a small amount of health remaining. Resists seemed few and far between. Although the Yagudo occasionally turned at an inconvenient time causing it to link, the presence of the Pixies nearby dulled the blow as there was no exp loss. This was a plus in comparison to Pso'Xja which allowed only one reraise scroll per visit, as well as a trek to get there.

The cannabis industry is still relatively nascent, which means, among other things, that there is no set pattern of how a company needs to conduct business to achieve the best results. Aurora Cannabis has bucked the system, creating a model that it feels is best for its future, but many commentators and analysts believe they know better than Aurora brass and consistently argue that Aurora needs to fall in line with its competitors. However, there's a reason Aurora is one of the top three companies – it's model is obviously working.
Aurora Cannabis (TSE: ACB) is focusing most of its efforts on medical cannabis. It may be a Canada-based company and Canada may have legalized recreational marijuana, but Aurora executives and advisors anticipate a stronger future for medical marijuana and its products. This has resulted in Aurora seeing a little bit of a drop compared to some of its rivals, but analysts – those who truly understand the industry and aren't just day-traders with a few extra minutes to spare – will understand what's going on.
Activity in recreational marijuana can produce revenue; however, it is only short-term revenue. This can be demonstrated by the fact that there is a market that has unfilled demand and supply has not always been able to meet that demand. Aurora has stepped in, boosting its recreational sales to help right the ship, but this won't be a permanent solution and the recreational marijuana market is going to become too saturated.
Aurora is also trying to keep as much of the upper echelon intact as possible. This means, not giving up much stock in exchange for cash. Once the global cannabis market truly takes off, this is going to work in Aurora's favor.
The company is also more interested in global growth than regional growth, which is why it has shied away from expansion into the US. It now operates in 24 international markets and this is going to prove to be a substantial base of revenue as the global medical marijuana market expands. It will take a few years for this to happen, but it's going to take a few years for all markets to advance – when they do, a globally-positioned company with strategic agreements will be worth much more than a regional one with limited agreements.

September 30, 2020
One unexpected consequence of the COVID pandemic has been the return of the branch office. Previously relegated to the list of increasingly obsolete business utilities, branch offices in industries such as banking and insurance are seeing a resurgence, though distinct from their original design of serving customers.
Repurposed as in-house co-working spaces for employees who don't want to or aren't able to commute into a bigger office in a larger metropolitan area, but who also aren't satisfied with working from home, branch offices present a useful option to displaced office workers.
This re-centralization of the workforce is an interesting hybrid development since the immediate urgency of work-from-home at the height of the pandemic has subsided, and bodes well for more compact office locations where employees can continue to have human interaction and a more intimate physical affiliation with their organization. And, of course, not everyone wants to hold business meetings at their kitchen table or living room at their personal residence.

Two of the television shows that both Michele and I loved to watch were Survivor and Amazing Race. I watched the spring season of both shows this year, and while it was bittersweet at times, I'm glad I let myself have this enjoyment.
On Amazing Race this year the team I rooted for right from the beginning was BJ and Tyler, or "The Hippies" as the other teams called them. What made them my favorites was their sheer love of life. The approached everything with wide-eyed enthusiasm and joy, even when they were last twice and had to start the next leg of the race with no money and only the clothes on their back (leaving BJ bare foot) they were excited to still be in the race.
In short, they were the type of team that Michele would have rooted for and been thrilled to see win. She had a hard time watching these types of shows sometimes, especially when teams that were cruder or nastier were winning. This season had its share of reversals and twists, but ultimately the team that was the nicest, and most deserving, won.
This one was for you Sweetie-pie.

Amber Alert: New Discoveries in Old Sap
Even old pieces of amber in a museum drawer can reveal unexpected surprises.
Several news pieces recently have focused on the dried tree sap known as amber. Fossils in amber are among the very most exquisite of all, because they preserve the 3-D animals themselves with all their parts intact.
Roving through amber: The Entomological Society of America announced the oldest "rove beetle" ever found, preserved beautifully in a piece of amber from France. Rove beetles are members of the Omaliini tribe, the largest group of beetles with 60,000 members. This one increases the fossil record of rove beetles by 100 million years from the Cenozoic into the Cretaceous, the abstract of the paper notes. The press release includes a very detailed reconstruction made by imaging the inside of the opaque resin with X-rays.
Big old collection: Roving through a decades-old collection of Dominican amber are producing new secrets. Young scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign started combing through 160 pounds of amber collected back in the 1950s. This amber, thought to be 20 million years old, provided some new evidence for evolution, the press release claims:
Perhaps the most striking discovery thus far is that of a pygmy locust, a tiny grasshopper the size of a rose thorn that lived 18- to 20-million years ago and fed on moss, algae and fungi. The specimen is remarkable because it represents an intermediate stage of evolution in the life of its subfamily of locusts (known as the Cladonotinae). The most ancient representatives of this group had wings, while modern counterparts do not. The newly discovered locust has what appear to be vestigial wings — remnant structures that had already lost their primary function.
If this is an example of evolution, then, it represents degradation: loss of a pre-existing complex trait, not like evolving new wings.
Live Science presented a photo gallery of the beautifully-preserved insects found in this collection. Among the photos is an unidentified mammal hair, and two flies trapped in the act of mating.
Baltic Chinese immigrant: Another big collection, this time from the Baltic Sea region, is being analyzed by scientists from the University of Bonn. Science Daily shows a beautifully-preserved mosquito found in one of the 3,000 pieces being examined. What's weird about it is that this is a "Chinese mosquito" found across the world near Poland, some 10,000 km away from similar ones found in Fushun, China. Thought to be 40-50 million years old, the Chinese immigrant presents a mystery:
The pieces from the Baltic region are slightly younger than the ones from Fushun-according to estimates, about 40 to 50 million years. At that time, Europe and Asia were divided by the Strait of Turgay, a wide arm of the ocean. Many researchers had assumed until now that this body of saltwater prevented species migrations between the continents—or at least, made it much harder. "Consequently, the great similarity of the included insects has been a great surprise to us," said Rust. "We don't know yet how that fits together."
Outside of India, Fushun is one of the two rare amber sites in Asia. Scientists studying samples from an open-pit mine there have so far found "arachnids and insects from more than 80 families" said to be 53 million years old.
The millions-of-years talk and the evolution-talk are worthless bits of noise in the news. Exquisite fossils like these entombed in gem-like stones can be appreciated for their own sake without force-fitting them into a world view that is ridiculous, calling loss of wings "an intermediate stage in the evolution in the life" of something, and finding no evolution at all in millions of years. Addicts must have their Darwine, the more aged the better.

Protests by Berlin-based artists over the curator of "Diversity United," a traveling exhibition with ties to right-wing politicians, have led some prominent participants in the show to drop out.
The controversy over the show is related to protests surrounding the Kunsthalle Berlin, a new, temporary museum at the abandoned Tempelhof airport. Calling the Kunsthalle Berlin was a "cynical, neoliberal machine," Berlin-based artists took issue with the space's founder, the curator Walter Smerling, who organized "Diversity United" in its initial showing at the airport. According to Candice Breitz, an artist who has been among those leading a movement known as Boycott Kunsthalle Berlin, at least 9 of the 90 participants have pulled out the show, which is now at the New Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
Artists associated with Boycott Kunsthalle Berlin claimed that the organizers of "Diversity United" failed to appropriately compensate many of the participating artists, and that the show had traveled to Russia with the explicit approval of, and funding by, President Vladimir Putin. The show, which aspires to showcase how the "artistic face of Europe is complex, diverse and permanently in flux," was first staged in 2021 at the Tempelhof airport and is slated to travel to Paris after appearing in Moscow.
According to Breitz, Yael Bartana, Mona Hatoum, Aleksandra Domanović, Katja Novitskova, Ahmet Öğüt, Agnieszka Polska, Martina Vacheva, Dan Perjovschi, and Constant Dullaart are among those who have withdrawn—and there are others who have pulled out or intend to do so, but don't want to go public, according to Breitz. Additional, artist caner teker is declining a prize for emerging artists being given out by a Bonn-based foundation run by Smerling.
"The artists who've thus far withdrawn from 'Diversity United' have tended to first formally communicate their intentions to the curatorial team behind the exhibition before reaching out to vocal members of the boycott group (#BoycottKunsthalleBerlin), to give us permission to share their decisions with a broader public," Breitz said in an interview. "We've taken great care to ensure that we have their blessing before going public with their names."
The Boycott Kunsthalle Berlin movement aims to highlight Smerling's connections to right-wing politicians. "Diversity United" received support from former German officials, like Armin Laschet and Gerhard Schröder. A key funder of the show, entrepreneur Lars Windhorst, has been implicated in both the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers. The political connections of the show and artists' dashed hopes of making use of the Tempelhof airport for themselves spurred some to act.
In an email to ARTnews, Smerling wrote, "I have no understanding for the boycott. Boycotting is not a solution, for anyone. The solution is to find common ways. There must be opportunities for private, public and cooperative exhibitions. Incidentally, I find it highly disrespectful ,and undignified when artists want to prevent other artists from being seen."
Smerling also defended the show's connections with Putin, even as tensions increase in Russia due to the situation in the Ukraine. "The claim of 'Diversity United' is to build bridges with art, open the possibility for dialogue, where everything else fails," Smerling wrote. "Maybe that is why the foreign ministry and the president of the federal republic of Germany support this exhibition, fully aware of its patrons."
Smerling received 1 million euros in funds from the German Foreign Federal Office to organize the "Diversity United" show, which is more than the National Gallery in Berlin has within its annual acquisition fund. While the show was organized around the theme of diversity, all of the 10 curators of the show and all of the financial backers were white. "There was significant frustration around 'Diversity United' when it was installed in Berlin, but the constellation of power behind the exhibition made it very intimidating for people to speak out," Breitz said.
Smerling had been given access to two hangars in the Tempelhof Airport rent-free. And while there had initially been claims that Smerling had to find private funding to cover the Kunsthalle Berlin's operating costs, which can run to as much as 100,000 euros a month due to the lack of infrastructure and the old age of the building, it turned out that the government had agreed to cover half the costs, according to the German publication Monopol. (These funds had come out of pool of money for buildings and real estate, not one for public museums.) Christoph Gröner, a real estate developer who Breitz alleges is responsible for hundreds of evictions during the pandemic, footed the other half of the bill for the running costs of Kunsthalle Berlin.
Asked about the show's funding, Smerling argued that these facts don't represent the full picture, saying, "Each art exhibition costs us far more than just the operating costs for the halls and, depending on the number of visitors, also more than the operating subsidy we receive. This is all our risk."
Smerling has said he welcomes a "dialogue" with the artists, but Breitz believes this overture came too late. "Until a couple of weeks before it opened, nobody had even heard that we would be getting a 'Kunsthalle Berlin,' including our top museum directors and curators at public institutions. That is absolutely unacceptable. The purpose of a boycott is to seek to alter a situation that is unacceptable."

UBS posts record Swiss loss
GENEVA - Switzerland's biggest bank UBS on Tuesday said it lost about CHF 20 billion (USD 17 billion, EUR 13 billion) in 2008, the largest full-year loss in Swiss corporate history, as it announced that it would cut another 2,000 jobs.
Full year loss in 2008 reached CHF 19.697 billion, with CHF 8.1 billion worth of losses incurred during the last three months of the year.
The bank, which is one of the worst-hit globally by the United States subprime home-loan crisis and the resulting financial market fallout, said more jobs would be cut in 2009 at its investment bank unit, which was responsible for most of the damage sustained by the bank.
After posting its second consecutive full-year loss, the bank's chief executive officer Marcel Rohner repeated a projection made earlier that the bank would be profitable in 2009.
He said the bank had "an encouraging start" in 2009, with inflows of assets at its wealth management and asset management units.
"We have had positive net new money in January and an encouraging start into the year. That also refers to trading in investment bank", chief executive officer Marcel Rohner told journalists.
Restricting a loss of assets was a key concern at the bank, as clients withdrew a net CHF 83.6 billion worth of assets in the third quarter and CHF 85.8 billion worth in the last three months of 2008.
"Overall net new money outflows were particularly heavy in October, but slowed down progressively in November and December", said the bank.
However, the bank warned that it remained "cautious" and that it would continue to cut costs and risks.
It announced another 2,000 job cuts in its investment banking unit on Tuesday, bringing the total job losses since October 2007 to 11,000.
"Financial market conditions remain fragile as company and household cash flows continue to deteriorate. On the other hand, governments are taking very substantial measures to ease fiscal and monetary conditions", the bank noted.
"Our near-term outlook remains cautious, and UBS will continue its programme to strengthen its financial position through reductions in risk positions, risk weighted assets, total assets and operating costs", it added.
An icon of Swiss banking, UBS experienced two very unstable years, with billions in losses that forced it to take on an emergency state aid package worth almost USD 60 billion late 2008.

Access Your Money Abroad Using Cryptocurrency ATMs
When you are traveling abroad, the last thing you will want is to have problems accessing your money. You will always want to spend money on a number of things, but you do not want to carry too much cash. In addition to that, things will be more difficult if the laws of that country do not allow you to use your cards. Because of that, it is important to start using a cryptocurrency ATM so that you can get access to your money regardless of where you. It is the newest way to help you travel without too much trouble.
Converting and Using the Money
What a cryptocurrency does is to facilitate the process of changing money from virtual currencies to cash. It will also help you to deposit cash and convert it. Because of that, you do not have to worry about the laws and other restrictions in the country that you are traveling to. What happens is that whenever you run out of cash, you only need to visit an ATM and convert some more than that you have enough cash with you wherever you go. The best part is that using the machines is both fast and easy for anyone.
Boosting Safety for Travelers
When you have your money in a cryptocurrency wallet, it will be difficult to lose it. We have heard of cases of people who were mugged in hotel rooms or even on the streets. Depending on the country you are heading to, you can never be sure of your safety when you are walking around with large sums of money. On the other hand, having access to a cryptocurrency ATM means that you do not have to carry all the money with you, and you will have a local bitcoin option. Instead of that, you will only be withdrawing the amounts that are enough for the needs at hand.
Choosing the Right Cryptocurrency ATM Company
To be sure of the best services when looking for a cryptocurrency ATM company, you have to choose wisely. You will need a company with a good reputation among its customers. IN addition to that, you have to make sure that convenience is guaranteed because it is the main reason you will be using ATMs, and not the other forms of cryptocurrency withdrawal options that have been around for longer.
Using Coinflip
CoinFlip is one of the most reliable companies when it comes to conversion of cryptocurrency. The company has invested in 20 technologies that make it both safe and secure regardless of where you use it. You will also like the fact that these technologies make their platform usable in any part of the world as long as you can find an ATM.
Since CoinFlip was founded, it has raised $3 million to fund its operations and expansion. The money was raised in two rounds of funding, the latest being in June 2018. Recently, CEO Bill Catania revealed that they have plans to demonstrate the electronic benefits that retailers will enjoy when they use their platform. They also aim at adding more technologies to improve experiences for users.

The Berkeley Police Department announced a $50,000 reward Friday to help find the killer of Sereinat'e Henderson.
Henderson, who was just 19 years old, was two months pregnant at the time of her death. The young woman was already a mother: She was in a car with her baby boy and several other relatives when someone in another vehicle opened fire on them Wednesday night.
Police will grant the reward in exchange for "information leading to the arrest and conviction of all responsible suspects in the recent murder of Sereinat'e Henderson on Prince Street."
Police said they found Henderson unresponsive in a vehicle on Prince near Ellis Street after getting multiple reports of gunfire there just before 7 p.m. Wednesday. She was taken to the hospital but did not survive.
"There may be individuals who have information about this crime and we are asking for the public's help," police said in the statement Friday. "Even the smallest detail could be critical in solving this crime."
The Berkeley Police Department asks anyone with information to call the BPD Homicide Unit at 510-981-5741 or BPD's 24-hour non-emergency number at 510-981-5900.

Municipal Logo Knitted Pom Beanie | Stone/Navy
Created in 1892 for a Chicago Tribune contest, the municipal symbol represents the three branches of the Chicago River, which forms a Y at "Wolf Point," where the main branch of the river divides into the north and south branches. The symbol is hidden in plain sight all across the city, and we thought it deserved to be made into a leather patch on a super cozy knit beanie.

Where's the beef and then some!
I'm blogging over at the Internet Cafe',
here's a link to my post about being a woman
who is living her faith out loud! Where's the Beef?!
And here is another fun guest post by my friend Denise, click on the picture to visit her blog.
Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
It is summer vacation here on the farm with our four boys. The first day after Memorial Day Monday when I heard the other local bus go by and know I didn't have to take my boys to school, ah, pure bliss.
I looked forward to days of beach time and fun with my boys and pure laziness….well, as lazy as you can be with four boys and a busy husband and the huge garden and baby chicks and so on and so on.
All that ended that very first day mere moments after I made my boys chocolate chip pancakes. "I'm hungry", one of them said and soon they were all asking if they could have a snack, if there was anything to eat, if I had more cookies, what was for dessert…..
To give you an idea of how much they ate, on one morning I made them oatmeal for breakfast, they ate half a bag of apples and one and half bunches of bananas BEFORE lunch.
I am pulling my hair out.
I made my famous chocolate chip cookies and HID half of them to last for another day.
By dinner time when my husband gets home from work I am totally frazzled. Years ago, when my husband's dad – who made all the meals for the family – was alive, I would hear how my father in law would have nightmares of not being able to feed his family of four kids. I always thought that was overkill. I suddenly understood what he had been worried about. I timed my boys, they completely cleared their plates of food (as they had for lunch and breakfast too) and exactly HALF AN HOUR LATER they were asking for something else to eat.
As I was making brownies for my boys, a verse popped into my head all of the sudden. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied."
Our youngest comes in the kitchen and asks for chocolate milk and I thought "I am the bread of life, he who comes to me will not hunger, and he who believes in me will never thirst."
I was wishing God would send some kind of manna or something like that so that my boys wouldn't be hungry and thirsty all the time. As I was thinking how grand that would be, I also got to thinking how I have been anticipating this time, this time alone with my boys, for ever so long. I have grand plans, to get back into doing a devotional with my boys, to read a long list of books together, to just 'be' with my boys. To reconnect after a hectic school year so we can go into next year 'filled'. My boys aren't getting younger, my time to 'train them in the way they should go' is now.
I spent some time in the kitchen chatting with Son number three about how God cares even about the baby bunnies we found in the field, and for my son to remember that God cares for Him. I may be running out of ideas to feed my kids, but I can still be feeding their minds with God's word as they help me in the kitchen.
I want my boys to hunger and thirst for God. I pray my boys find their 'fill' in God. Somehow, I want to instill in them a desire, a hunger, for them to want more and more of God and never think "yah, I'm full" and walk away from Him. Do you understand what I am trying to say here?
And then, as God always seems to do with me, He made it personal to just me. When was the last time I felt like I was hungry for God's word? To thirst for Him? When was the last time I was starving to get closer to my God, looking to Him to fill me? Beth Moore talks about filling your 'love bucket'. If I'm not spending time being filled with God's love, how am I supposed to share God's love with those who seem to be draining it….like my family?
Things I am contemplating as I bake some more food to fill my growing boys.

It was mostly business as usual during the first State Election Board meeting after SB 202 was signed into law, removing Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger from his role as chair.
At the start of the meeting, Republican vice chair Rebecca Sullivan thanked Raffensperger for his leadership on the board, and David Worley, the lone Democrat, tore into lawmakers for making changes.
"First of all, it is always, always bad public policy to base legislation on a lie," he said. "Unfortunately, that is what happened with the passage of SB 202."
The new law gives the General Assembly the power to appoint a new chair, although, after making a big deal about it, state lawmakers failed to do so before the end of the legislative session. The appointment now falls to Gov. Brian Kemp, who hasn't done so, either.
During the nearly seven-hour Zoom meeting, the board dismissed cases claiming absentee ballot fraud with the November election in Cobb County after a Georgia Bureau of Investigation audit of more than 15,000 ballots found no fraudulent ballots.
As GOP board member Matt Mashburn put it: "There was nothing to it."
Still, the meeting was not without conspiracy discussion.
The newly elected chair of the Cobb County Republican Party berated the board for acting like "cavalier cowboys" and claimed, without providing evidence, that there was fraud after she and another woman claimed Cobb shredded ballots after November's election. The videos they showed as evidence to investigators and lawmakers last year clearly showed empty privacy envelopes, marked as such, being taken away.
Other cases that will go to the attorney general's office include a handful of instances of double voting (including someone who said memory loss made him forget), a Cobb gun store that held a rifle raffle for voters, a Democratic state representative wearing a campaign shirt too close to a polling place and a rural Georgia supervisor who failed to hold a runoff in a race that nobody won.
This story comes to The Current through a reporting partnership with GPB News, a non-profit newsroom covering the state of Georgia.

Am I able to Get Car Finance if Personal Employed/Have Bad Credit
For those who tend to be self-employed or have credit that is bad, you might genuinely believe that they can't be eligible for a automobile funding or car and truck loans after all. The good thing is that if you are self-employed or have bad credit although it may be difficult, it is not entirely impossible to get car finance.
We at Carmudi usually have questions regarding vehicle funding, it best to provide some solid answers for those who are struggling to secure financing for their next car purchase so we thought.
Vehicle funding when it comes to self-employed
The hurdle that is biggest to getting automobile funding when you're self-employed would be to show earnings. Loan providers will probably ask to see this evidence in some recoverable format before approving auto loan candidates, and failure to create this type of document may be the reason for numerous self-employed individual's car financing problems. Fortunately, all isn't lost. The initial thing you need to do is respond to four relevant concerns:
Are you considering with the automobile primarily for business reasons?
In the event that you want to utilize the vehicle for company, you'll want an Audited financial record. Many loan providers need you to get one during the last couple of years, but you will find those people who are pleased with only your newest AFS. For those who haven't sent applications for an AFS yet, you better do this before you apply for almost any style of motor finance.
Perhaps you have recorded a taxation return?
Self-employed individuals seldom lodge taxation statements. a taxation return is definitely an absolute need for numerous loan providers, although not all. Also, particular loan providers may require income tax return substitutes to confirm earnings in the event that loan candidate can't furnish one, such as for example lender statements, month-to-month receipts, etc.
These papers will likely be utilized to evaluate your month-to-month earnings, and in case your loan provider verifies that you've got sufficient, you'll have a good possibility of getting authorized for the car finance without publishing an income tax return.
Are you able to leverage your money?
If you have a considerable asset, you should use that to control a larger advance payment. Many loan providers put the advance payment at 20 per cent, but it to as high as 50 percent, you improve your chances of getting approved for a car loan while self-employed if you can get.
Also, if you should be currently settling a mortgage and tend to be handling to do this without missing a payment, then that presents your prospective loan provider that you're fairly steady and a beneficial payer, thus enhancing your odds of getting the vehicle loan authorized.
Have you been comfortable divulging private financial information?
You may expect your loan provider to do something such as for instance an authorities detective who would like to discover any good explanation they are able to get a hold of to disapprove your loan, so whatever you state or declare, they're planning to get a hold of techniques to verify it. Don't lie in regards to the state of the income or funds.
Should your loan provider discovers the truth, they could think you're defrauding all of them, and also you can find your self in deep difficulty. Be precise together with your statements, and you provide only to what is asked for if you prefer to protect your privacy, limit the information.
Motor finance for those who have bad credit
Auto loans occur if you have bad credit, nonetheless it is sold with an enormous disadvantage: a somewhat bigger rate of interest. Therefore, when you shop for a car loan with bad credit, you'll want to ensure you're not overcharged, plus the very very first crucial step up doing this will be look at your credit history. There are two main factors why you must do this:
To ensure the precision of your credit rating. On occasion, all of that it requires to increase a credit history to a level that is comfortable to locate and correct blunders. Essentially, you really need to provide your self 30 days after fixing any credit history errors before you start searching for car finance.
To determine what elements tend to be affecting your credit rating the essential. Then you may be able to identify which areas of your finances need help the most if you have multiple types of credit in use, such as credit cards, installment loans, mortgages, and more. You might then simply just just take steps that are certain boost your credit ranking, plus in therefore doing, create your loan provider believe you may be worth that loan endorsement.
Look around
The answer to credit that is bad loan success is always to look around exhaustively. You will find absolutely a large amount of loan providers offering auto loans for those who have bad to no credit, which means you should be diligent along with your selection.
In the event that you must, you can easily make use of a brokerage who is able to support you in finding the very best prices for the scenario. Although the broker's solution costs increase your expenditures, your savings that are long-term result in the bigger auto loan in advance price beneficial.
even More methods to spend less on automotive loans
To really make the many away from a bad financial situation, listed here discover this are items that you certainly can do to cut costs on your own auto loan:
Pick the loan using the quickest term that works in your favor. a faster loan term carries a lower life expectancy rate of interest than a longer one. By paying down the mortgage faster, you'll have the ability to save yourself more cash.
Get a brand name brand-new car
Used-car financial loans tend to be naturally more costly than brand- new auto loans. Having said that, then go for it if you can find a good deal on a used car. Despite having a greater rate of interest, it is however quite definitely feasible for one to save your self, particularly if the distinction between the car or truck price as well as the completely new pricing is considerable.
Prevent the extras
The sales agent will most likely make an effort to entice you with extras that don't really provide any purpose that is good to include a couple of pesos to their pocket. In the long run, these expenses that are includeed add up, therefore unless entirely required, it is far better stay away from these extras entirely and go back home with only the vehicle. Becoming self-employed is challenging, but having a bad credit rating make your position a whole lot worse.
Having said that, working your very own company or having a poor credit history doesn't constantly suggest you might be a poor financial investment to a lender. Speak to a monetary agent to go over your position in order to comprehend how to start and what direction to go to obtain the auto loan you deserve.

Pizzana West Hollywood
ALM Project
Working under the direction of Andrea Lenardin Madden, I helped to develop the second location for Pizzana, a high-end fast-casual, Napoli style pizza restaurant.
The location was previously a small coffee shop, so the the majority of the seating was placed outside under a custom trellis.
We paired the natural brick with blackened steel, and ebonized ash. The trellis cover made from polygal, filters light and protects from the elements.
Pizzana West Hollywood is located at 460 N Roberston, West Hollywood, CA

UPDATE: Decatur Commission considers contracts for Children's Home planning, street pavingThe former United Methodist Children's Home campus in Decatur. The campus is now called Legacy Park. Photo by Dan Whisenhunt
UPDATE: These items were approved at the Dec. 18 meeting.
Here is our original story …
The Decatur City Commission is holding its last regular meeting of 2017 and will consider a contract for paving streets and a contract for planning the future uses of the United Methodist Children's Home campus.
The Dec. 18 meeting begins with a work session at 6:30 p.m. to review the city's tree ordinance, followed by the regular meeting that begins at 7:30 p.m. It will be held at City Hall, located at 509 North McDonough Street. All meetings are open to the public.
[adsanity id=39177 align=aligncenter /]
Commissioners will be asked to vote on a $199,000 contract with Cooper Carry to develop a master plan for the United Methodist Children's home, which the city purchased this year for $40 million.
The master planning process will solicit community input for how the city will use the 77 acre campus.
"In developing a master plan, it offers a unique opportunity for the City of Decatur to expand recreational facilities, protect additional greenspace, and consider community needs such as affordable housing, office space for compatible non-profit organizations and creative community uses such as studio and classroom space," a memo attached to the meeting agenda says. "The master planning process will explore opportunities that respond to as many of the community's goals as possible while respecting the history and heritage of the site. The goal of this planning process is to create a master plan for the entire site that creates a long-range, community-supported vision for how the property will be used and a blueprint for moving the vision forward."
Commissioners will also consider awarding a $564,000 contract to Blount Construction Company of Marietta for milling and repairing several streets. The streets that will be repaved are:
• Eastland Drive from Willow Lane to the City Limits
• Pensdale Road from Willow Lane to the City Limits
• Kathryn Avenue from Coventry Road to Mockingbird Lane
• Bucher Drive from S. Candler Street to Avery Street
• Jefferson Place from E. College Avenue to Ansley Street
• McKoy Street E. Benson Street to the Dead End
• East Lake Drive from Park Place to 2nct Avenue
• West Howard Avenue and Adair Street
