Scientists Recover a Rare Meteorite With Water Similar to That on Earth Picked up within hours of falling to Earth, the Winchcombe meteorite can tell us more about what our planet was like in its infancy. BY TIM NEWCOMB PUBLISHED: NOV 17, 2022 Jonathan E.Jackson / NHM Photo Unit The Winchcombe meteorite is a rare find, with a similar hydrogen isotope ratio to the water on Earth. Recovering a meteorite within 12 hours of arrival means it is as pristine a specimen as we can get without going to space. Eleven percent of the meteorite’s weight comes from Earth-like water, intriguing scientists about the implications of Earth’s early composition. Scooping up a meteorite within 12 hours of crashing turned out to be a scientific boon for researchers investigating the hydrogen makeup of this visitor from outer space. The one pound of carbonaceous chondriteplowed into the English town of Winchcombe in February 2021. Its most spectacular feature, according to the scientists? The rock’s hydrogenisotope ratio is strikingly similar to that of water on Earth. “One of the biggest questions asked of the scientific community is how did we get here? This analysis on the Winchcombe meteorite gives insight into how the Earth came to have water, the source of so much life,” Luke Daly, University of Glasgow lecturer and and an author of the first paper on the meteorite published at Science Advances, says in a news release. “Researchers will continue to work on this specimen for years to come, unlocking more secrets into the origins of our solar system.” Key to the research was the fact specialists from across the world could start investigating the Winchcombe meteorite within days of its fiery fall from the sky. Less than 12 hours after its entry into Earth’s atmosphere, pieces of the rock were plucked from a driveway and the surrounding area and taken to London’s Natural History Museum, away from any environmental effects that could change its analysis. “The rapid retrieval and curation of Winchcombe make it one of the most pristine meteorites available for analysis, offering scientists a tantalizing glimpse back through time to the original composition of the solar system 4.6 billion years ago,” Ashley Key, Natural History Museum senior curator and the paper’s co-author, says in a news release. Estimates vary, but Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. The meteorite offers a look at a rare carbonaceous chondrite, a high silicate rock containing approximately 2 percent carbon by weight. It is the first of its type to be discovered in the United Kingdom. After imaging and chemical analysis, researchers determined it contains 11 percent extraterrestrial water by weight. Most of the water is trapped in minerals created by chemical reactions between fluids and rocks on the asteroid the meteorite originated from—during what scientists believe to be the earliest formation of our solar system. By measuring the ratio of hydrogen isotopes in the water, the team found it closely resembles the composition of water on Earth. It also contains extraterrestrial amino acids, or prebiotic molecules that are key for the creation of life. Because the meteorite was largely unmodified by Earth’s environment due to its quick retrieval, the researchers believe their findings bolster the theory that carbonaceous asteroids played a key role in bringing the ingredients of life—like water—to early Earth. This makes the Winchcombe meteorite notably different from the more common icy comets, which don’t have chemistry matching Earth’s water. “Direct links between carbonaceous chondrites and their parent bodies in the solar system are rare,” according to the paper. “The Winchcombe meteorite is the most accurately recorded carbonaceous chondrite fall. Its pre-atmospheric orbit and cosmic-ray exposure age confirm that it arrived on Earth shortly after ejection from a primitive asteroid.” By combining camera footage of its trajectory from the U.K. Fireball Alliance—which aims to recover fallen meteorites as soon as possible—with chemical analysis of the meteorite, researchers believe Winchcombe broke off the surface of an asteroid near Jupiter and traveled to Earth within the last million years. “We’re still reeling from our good fortune to have such an important meteorite fall in the U.K.,” Natasha Almeida, curator of meteorites at the Natural History Museum and paper co-author, says in a news release. “The combination of such a quick recovery, careful collection, and our ongoing curation of Winchcombe in a nitrogen atmosphere means this incredibly fresh specimen will remain one of the most pristine meteorites in collections worldwide.” Here: https://www.popularmechanics.com/space/solar-system/a41994506/winchcombe-meteorite-contains-earth-like-water/

What exactly happened to Christina Applegate? Everything about multiple sclerosis 11/18/2022, 7:05:55 AM Multiple sclerosis is a disease of young people, and even though it is possible to live a full and normal life with it - it is not an easy disease to deal with the discovery and its consequences. Here's what you should know about her Dr. Keren Regev explains what causes multiple sclerosis and how to live with this disease (Walla System) The beloved actress Christina Applegate announced more than a year ago that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but recently her story entered the hearts of many after she announced that she would probably not be able to act anymore, and even told candidly that filming the last season of her series sometimes felt "like torture" . A few days after this announcement, she appeared at a ceremony to award a star to her name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, barefoot and with the help of a walking stick. Multiple sclerosis is a chronic disease that causes damage to the central nervous system. Multiple sclerosis has a wide range of symptoms, and it affects everyone differently - from a symptom-free disease to severe disability. Dr. Keren Regev, director of the multiple sclerosis service at the Ichilov Hospital's neurological system, was a guest on the "Expert Clinic" podcast to explain what causes multiple sclerosis and how to live with this disease. "Multiple sclerosis is a rare disease despite its misleading name, it is a disease that affects 1 in 1,000 people," said Dr. Regev at the beginning of her speech, clarifying that it is a very female disease. "autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the tissues of the body itself, more common in women, because the immune system of women requires more flexibility due to pregnancy and childbirth, so when it has more degrees of freedom, there is also a greater chance of mistakes, and a greater risk of autoimmune diseases." MS is also a disease of young people, and it usually starts between the ages of 20 and 40. The disease is more common among smokers as well as among first degree relatives of multiple sclerosis patients. What are the symptoms of multiple sclerosis? "It is a disease whose width is very wide, and it is very different from one person to another. It is a disease that can sporadically damage any of the sites of the central nervous system (the brain, the optic nerve and the spinal cord), and this is the supreme command of all our functions," explained Dr. Regev. Therefore, multiple sclerosis can cause damage to the visual system - a rapid decrease in vision, or pain; a decrease in sensation, sensorineural atrophy usually of half the face or half of the body; impairment of balance and dizziness; disorders of the urinary system (frequency and urgency or retention of urine ); hearing damage, as well as other injuries. "Each of these symptoms should lead to clarification. I don't want to spread fear, but I would be happy if we could get people tested faster," said Dr. Regev, "the earlier we detect, the sooner we will preserve functional brain tissue for years, and prevent processes of premature aging of these systems." She added that the diagnostic delay in sclerosis averages about a year, which is too much. The symptoms of sclerosis vary greatly from person to person. It is important to clarify that the symptoms of sclerosis vary greatly from person to person, and although there are cases of rapid and severe deterioration, as in the case of Applegate, there are also other cases. "It's not that once you get the diagnosis you're on the path to a wheelchair. It's a disease that varies from person to person, there are many people who have been sick for many years and don't see and don't know, they get treatment and live a completely normal life," said Dr. Regev. How do you live with multiple sclerosis? "Like any other chronic disease, diabetes or blood pressure, it is true that multiple sclerosis cannot be eliminated, but it is possible to live a full and normal life with it. It is true that the disease will not disappear, but we know how to manage it and we know how to keep it under control," explained Dr. Regev, "The disease comes in such waves that are followed by improvement. So it is possible that after there is such a wave and we have treated it sharply to shorten the attack, the person will return to a functional life, and then we can also prevent such new flare-ups, and more importantly - we can prevent this process of chronic and slow damage to the nervous system that accompanies this process. With early treatment, the degenerative process can be prevented." She added that there are currently no less than 17 drugs for multiple sclerosis. "There are different levels of treatment intensity. There are pills, there are self-injections, there are infusions, there are medicines that are given once a year, once a month and medicines that are taken every day, and this allows us to tailor this suit in a way that is precise for each and every patient," said Dr. Regev, "There are many considerations, but fortunately, a multitude of options allows us to find the best solution for each and every person, according to their medical profile as well as their personal profile" There is room for optimism The improvement in diagnosis and the range of existing treatments allows people diagnosed with multiple sclerosis to live a normal life. "In the past, most people after about 10 years of illness progressed in terms of the damage, in terms of the use of walking aids or the cognitive decline, but today the proportion of people who need walking aids or who suffer from functional disorders is much lower, and we attribute this to the effective and early treatment, as well as the choice the right treatment for the patient and proper monitoring," said Dr. Regev. Although there is plenty of reason for optimism, said Dr. Regev, this is a disease that is complex to deal with. "This is a terribly big crisis, and people who are told that they have multiple sclerosis, the feeling of 'the sky has fallen' is the feeling they are dealing with, it is a difficult feeling, and it happens to people at a young age, when life is just beginning and many decisions have not yet been made. It is a complex struggle."

Actress Christina Applegate who got sick with multiple sclerosis: "I probably won't play anymore" 11/13/2022, 6:03:19 AM After being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, Christina Applegate said she's "pretty sure" her role in Netflix's You Die For Me could be her last Christina Applegate (retd) Actress Christina Applegate has said she's "pretty sure" that her role in Die For Me may be her last on-screen role, after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The American actress said that filming the last season of the series sometimes felt "like torture". Applegate, who will be 50 at the end of the month, an Emmy Award winner for her guest role in the series "Friends" and who is best remembered for her character as Kelly Bundy in the series "Married Plus", announced in August 2021 that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a few months earlier. Applegate stars in the black comedy "For Me You Die", the third and final season of which will be released on Netflix on Thursday, in the role of Jen Harding, a real estate agent whose husband died in a hit-and-run accident. In an interview with the Variety newspaper, which took place ahead of the actress' star awarding ceremony tomorrow (Monday) of Hollywood, Applegate said that her role in the series is "probably the last role I'll play." She explained that because of her illness, she doesn't know how much she's capable of acting in front of a camera in the future. She added that she's still "new to this" and "trying to figure it out." Christina Applegate, January 2020 (Photo: GettyImages, Leon Bennett) The actress, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during the production of the series "For Me You Are Dying", candidly revealed how difficult it was for her to shoot the last season. She said that at first she did not understand what had happened to her, as her toes and pads of her feet had been numb over time. "I ignored it. And suddenly I fell," she said. She added that it was necessary to take her in a wheelchair on set, that she "sleeps all the time" and that she has gained about 20 kilos since she was diagnosed. "I was diagnosed while we were working, and I had to call everyone and say: 'I have multiple sclerosis, guys. Like, vot de paque! And then there was a kind of learning - we're all learning - what am I going to be able to do.' Applegate added that producing the series gave her a few months off "so I could grieve and find therapy," and rearranged the schedule every day depending on how she felt. "You can see the struggle, and you can see it throughout the season. You can see that I'm in pain," she shared. The actress also said that she has no plans to watch the last season herself, adding: "It's too hard for me." However, she felt it was "too important" not to finish filming. Although Applegate said she's "pretty sure" her role in Die For Me might be her last, she hasn't completely closed the door on acting in the future. "It's about finding what I'm able to do. I'm so new at this right now. It takes time to understand this disease and understand what's causing the symptoms," she said. She added that she wants to be able to work somewhere, "where they won't think I'm a diva if I say, 'Hey, I can only work five hours.'" Applegate added that she probably won't star in the series again, adding that it "was so hard" to shoot the series "You're Dying to Me." She also said that she "really enjoys being a mother now". Applegate has an 11-year-old girl and a husband. "But who knows, I'll probably get bored being in my room," she said, adding that she would still like to "develop things and produce things. I have a lot of ideas in my head and I just need to implement them."

World Population Hits 8 Billion, Creating Many Challenges People move through a market in Mumbai, India, Nov. 12, 2022. The world's population is projected to hit an estimated 8 billion people on Tuesday, according to a United Nations projection, with much of the growth coming from developing nations in Africa. Among them is Nigeria, where resources are already stretched to the limit. More than 15 million people in Lagos compete for everything from electricity to light their homes to spots on crowded buses, often for two-hour commutes each way in this sprawling megacity. Some Nigerian children set off for school as early as 5 a.m. And over the next three decades, the West African nation's population is expected to soar even more: from 216 million this year to 375 million, the U.N. says. That will make Nigeria the fourth-most populous country in the world after India, China and the United States. "We are already overstretching what we have — the housing, roads, the hospitals, schools. Everything is overstretched," said Gyang Dalyop, an urban planning and development consultant in Nigeria. The U.N.'s Day of 8 Billion milestone Tuesday is more symbolic than precise, officials are careful to note in a wide-ranging report released over the summer that makes some staggering projections. The upward trend threatens to leave even more people in developing countries further behind, as governments struggle to provide enough classrooms and jobs for a rapidly growing number of youth, and food insecurity becomes an even more urgent problem. Nigeria is among eight countries the U.N says will account for more than half the world's population growth between now and 2050 — along with fellow African nations Congo, Ethiopia and Tanzania. "The population in many countries in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to double between 2022 and 2050, putting additional pressure on already strained resources and challenging policies aimed to reduce poverty and inequalities," the U.N. report said. It projected the world's population will reach around 8.5 billion in 2030, 9.7 billion in 2050 and 10.4 billion in 2100. Other countries rounding out the list with the fastest growing populations are Egypt, Pakistan, the Philippines and India, which is set to overtake China as the world's most populous nation next year. In Congo's capital, Kinshasa, where more than 12 million people live, many families struggle to find affordable housing and pay school fees. While elementary pupils attend for free, older children's chances depend on their parents' incomes. "My children took turns" going to school, said Luc Kyungu, a Kinshasa truck driver who has six children. "Two studied while others waited because of money. If I didn't have so many children, they would have finished their studies on time." Rapid population growth also means more people vying for scarce water resources and leaves more families facing hunger as climate change increasingly impacts crop production in many parts of the world. "There is also a greater pressure on the environment, increasing the challenges to food security that is also compounded by climate change," said Dr. Srinath Reddy, president of the Public Health Foundation of India. "Reducing inequality while focusing on adapting and mitigating climate change should be where our policy makers' focus should be." Still, experts say the bigger threat to the environment is consumption, which is highest in developed countries not undergoing big population increases. "Global evidence shows that a small portion of the world's people use most of the Earth's resources and produce most of its greenhouse gas emissions," said Poonam Muttreja, executive director of the Population Foundation of India. "Over the past 25 years, the richest 10% of the global population has been responsible for more than half of all carbon emissions." According to the U.N., the population in sub-Saharan Africa is growing at 2.5% per year — more than three times the global average. Some of that can be attributed to people living longer, but family size remains the driving factor. Women in sub-Saharan Africa on average have 4.6 births, twice the current global average of 2.3. Families become larger when women start having children early, and 4 out of 10 girls in Africa marry before they turn 18, according to U.N. figures. The rate of teen pregnancy on the continent is the highest in the world — about half of the children born last year to mothers under 20 worldwide were in sub-Saharan Africa. Still, any effort to reduce family size now would come too late to significantly slow the 2050 growth projections, the U.N. said. About two-thirds of it "will be driven by the momentum of past growth." "Such growth would occur even if childbearing in today's high-fertility countries were to fall immediately to around two births per woman," the report found. There are also important cultural reasons for large families. In sub-Saharan Africa, children are seen as a blessing and as a source of support for their elders — the more sons and daughters, the greater comfort in retirement. Still, some large families "may not have what it takes to actually feed them," says Eunice Azimi, an insurance broker in Lagos and mother of three. "In Nigeria, we believe that it is God that gives children," she said. "They see it as the more children you have, the more benefits. And you are actually overtaking your peers who cannot have as many children. It looks like a competition in villages." Politics also have played a role in Tanzania, where former President John Magufuli, who ruled the East African country from 2015 until his death in 2021, discouraged birth control, saying that a large population was good for the economy. He opposed family planning programs promoted by outside groups, and in a 2019 speech urged women not to "block ovaries." He even described users of contraceptives as "lazy" in a country he said was awash with cheap food. Under Magufuli, pregnant schoolgirls were even banned from returning to classrooms. But his successor, Samia Suluhu Hassan, appeared to reverse government policy in comments last month when she said birth control was necessary in order not to overwhelm the country's public infrastructure. Even as populations soar in some countries, the U.N. says rates are expected to drop by 1% or more in 61 nations. The U.S. population is now around 333 million, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The population growth rate in 2021 was just 0.1%, the lowest since the country was founded. "Going forward, we're going to have slower growth — the question is, how slow?" said William Frey, a demographer at the Brookings Institution. "The real wild card for the U.S. and many other developed countries is immigration." Charles Kenny, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development in Washington, says environmental concerns surrounding the 8 billion mark should focus on consumption, particularly in developed countries. "Population is not the problem, the way we consume is the problem — let's change our consumption patterns," he said.

Musk Announces All Food In Twitter Cafeteria Will Cost $8 TECH·Nov 16, 2022 · BabylonBee.com SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Twitter CEO Elon Musk announced Wednesday he would be opening an exclusive company cafeteria that would sell items for $8.00 each, reversing an earlier policy in which free delicacies were lovingly spooned directly into the mouths of employees by an on-call wait staff. "Twitter is losing millions of dollars a day. We can't keep giving away food," Musk said in a company-wide e-mail. "Support your own paycheck by buying the new Musk Meatball Sub in the company cafeteria!" Musk's message continued, "I know you can afford 8 bucks for lunch. That's exactly how much you've been paying for fancy coffee drinks every morning ever since I got rid of the barista." Employees immediately took to Twitter to disparage the announcement. "He is literally asking us to starve to death," tweeted employee Janelle Misiqua (@manwoman). UPDATE:Janelle Misiqua has been fired. "I'm afraid to try the salad," tweeted Client Account Manager Shelley Duvall (@xxxhotdogtown). "It could be anything!" UPDATE: Shelley Duvall has been fired. Others have expressed confusion that every item on the menu costs the same. "Why am I paying 8 bucks for lima beans and a pasta dish? It doesn't make any sense," tweeted Director of Accounting Daryl Philbro. UPDATE: Daryl Philbro has been fired. Network Admin David D'Angelo (@iamacat), however, posted a contrary opinion. "The Musk meatball sub is chef's kiss," he tweeted. "Well worth the 8 dollars. Would buy again." At publishing time, Musk decided to scrap the new cafeteria in favor of watching Twitter employees battle each other for bread in the new Twitter Thunderdome.

People with disabilities are increasingly finding their place in companies 11/17/2022, 8:53:02 AM More open to diversity and faced with the shortage of talent, employers are more attentive to these profiles that they tended to ignore. And yet... Proof of the progress made, unemployment for people with disabilities has fallen from 19% in 2017 to 13% this year, according to the Interministerial Committee on Disability (CIH) in October. In June 2022, 460,000 disabled people were registered with Pôle emploi, compared to 515,530 before December 2018. Returns to work have thus increased by 25% over the first four months of 2022 compared to 2021. A theme has therefore imposed itself for the 26th edition of the European Disability Employment Week (EDEW), which opened on Monday: “ When will full employment for people with disabilities? "If mentalities are changing “we must continue to help companies remove the obstacles to employing disabled people”, assures Geneviève Darrieussecq, Minister Delegate for Disability. The obligation to employ disabled workers (OETH), which imposes on structures with at least twenty employees a minimum threshold of 6% of disabled people in their workforce. Otherwise, they must pay an “OETH contribution” to the Association managing the fund for the professional integration of disabled people (Agefiph). This money is used to provide assistance to employers who play the game, for example by financing the adaptation of a workstation. A proactive policy Companies can of course recruit disabled people. But they can encourage their employees whose disability is not visible (80% of cases) to declare it. Sewan chose the first option. This fast-growing telecom operator is recruiting a lot. Of its 700 employees, five are disabled, compared to only one in 2020. The company has implemented a proactive policy. Its job postings state that all positions are open to people with disabilities.“We recruit on a CV and on expertise, in a neutral way, points out Marlène Delrue, HRD of Sewan. Managers are looking for technically advanced profiles and are open. If the disabled person has the required qualities, there is no obstacle to hiring him. »The company is also diversifying its sources of recruitment. It is present in particular on the online forum TalentsHandicap, where he consults the CV library to expand his teams. Its employees responsible for chasing new employees have been trained in the recruitment of disabled people, just like the managers in their supervision. Once hired, the disabled also follow specific training and benefit from special support. “We train them in the hope that they will stay with us” ADP, a payroll and human resources software company, has set up a program aimed at welcoming work-study students with disabilities. "We train them in the hope that they will stay with us" says Nicolas Swiatek, world communications director and in charge of diversity in France. According to the CIH, the number of apprentices with disabilities, which admittedly started from a very low level, increased between 2019 and 2021 (+ 3,597 apprentices). In the private sector, it jumped 79% thanks to government aid introduced after the first confinement. This ODA initiative is part of the extension of a disability policy initiated in 2010. The employment rate of disabled people in the company was only 0.73% at the time. “A real job, not an occupation” A mission has been set up and significant awareness-raising work has been carried out so that the employees concerned come forward if they feel like it and are supported in keeping their jobs. The group, which is currently negotiating its fifth agreement with staff representatives, has now reached the 6% threshold. At Café Joyeux, 60% of whose employees have autism or Down's syndrome, unsolicited applications are legion. The company, which operates ten establishments and aims to reach thirty in 2025, favors the experience of room service for the candidate. The future recruit is received in interview with his family, to verify that his desire to work emanates from him alone. “We are not a protected company, points out Olivier Devaux, director of human wealth. We remain an economic enterprise and we insist that it is a real job and not an occupation. »A know-how that goes back to the fundamentals A day of observation is then organized to ensure that the person will be able to integrate and to assess their commitment. If all goes well, she completes a one-month internship, renewable once. At the end, she was hired on a permanent contract, and followed a two-year apprenticeship, in the CFA created by the company. If this was not the case for the first Café Joyeux, the managers are now trained by a firm specializing in the management of disabled people and must also have experience in catering. “If the disabled bring their own skills, including attention span, thoroughness and joy, there are certain things that they do not perceive and they tire more quickly, recalls Olivier Devaux. The instructions must therefore be clear and the work environment organized so that they know what is expected of them. This requires know-how that brings us back to the fundamentals of what good management should be in all companies.» Source (in French): lefigaro: https://www.lefigaro.fr/decideurs/management/les-personnes-handicapees-trouvent-de-mieux-en-mieux-leur-place-dans-les-entreprises-20221116 Here: https://newsrnd.com/business/2022-11-17-people-with-disabilities-are-increasingly-finding-their-place-in-companies.ry7IDOwmIj.html

Contrails!... Stealth Planes Still Have One Very Visible Problem: Contrails Scientists haven’t yet figured out how to stop aircraft from producing these high-altitude water vapor trails. BY DAVID HAMBLINGPUBLISHED: NOV 15, 2022 Online military forums like SecretProjects went wild last year over a grainy, indistinct image of an aircraft. Basic digital enhancement showed a bat-winged craft unlike any known U.S. military plane, silhouetted against the blue sky. The consensus among defense media was that this mystery craft must be a top-secret RQ-180 stealth drone, used for spy missions over the most sensitive areas—like Iran, other parts of the Middle East, and areas close to China. It was the second of three such photographs to emerge in the past few years. All three aircraft were given away by the same decidedly un-stealthy feature. “I heard a faint aircraft noise and noticed a contrail straight above us,” Joerg Arnu, who witnessed the third mystery aircraft, told The Drive, a website focused on automotive culture and military matters. That contrail—a cloud-like trail of water vapor produced by aircraft at high-altitude—led them straight to the mystery plane, like a long, white arrow saying “here I am.” “It’s the stealth equivalent of walking out of the restroom, trailing toilet paper behind your shoe,” says Scott Lowe, a photographer who caught a rare image of a U-2 spy plane after noticing its contrail earlier last year. Stealth technology dramatically reduced the radar and infrared signatures of aircraft that alerted air defenses to their presence. Previously, aircraft were most often picked up by radar at long range. Engineers have also developed a variety of techniques to eliminate contrails altogether. So why are some supposedly “secret” aircraft still leaving them behind? Prepare for a dive into the world of aviation dark arts—of smoke and mirrors, acid, and lasers. Of Metal and Mirrors Contrails (or condensation trails) are visible for the same reason as your breath, or car exhaust, on a cold day. Warm, moisture-laden air mixes with cold, dry air and creates condensation. In the case of contrails, the condensation takes the form of tiny ice crystals. These form around tiny particles, mainly soot, in the engine exhaust.... MORE here: https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a41911305/stealth-plane-contrails/

BY WILLIAM HERKEWITZ AND DAISY HERNANDEZ PUBLISHED: OCT 21, 2022 Co/Getty Images Tardigrades are one of the most fascinating creatures on Earth—and the moon. In 2019, the Israeli spacecraft Beresheet crashed on the moon, spilling thousands of the dehydrated tardigrades that scientists loaded onto the lander (along with human DNA samples). The tardigrades were in “tun” form, a dormant state where they shrivel up into a ball, expel most of the water in their bodies, and lower their metabolism via cryptobiosis until they enter an environment better suited for sustaining life. They can exist like this for decades. They’re also pretty hardy and can endure even the harshest environments, including subzero temperatures—and, you know, lunar crash landings. 💫 The universe is amazing! Let’s nerd out over it together. We talked to leading researchers to find out what makes these little “water bears” so amazing. Here are our seven favorite facts about tardigrades, according to the latest research. 1) Tardigrades are everywhere. Tardigrades are a class of microscopic animals with eight limbs and strange, alien-like behavior. William Miller, a leading tardigrade researcher at Baker University, says they are remarkably abundant. Hundreds of species “are found across the seven continents; everywhere from the highest mountain to the lowest sea,” he says. “Many species of tardigrades live in water, but on land, you find them almost everywhere there’s moss or lichen.” In 2007, scientists discovered these microscopic critters can survive an extended stay in the cold, irradiated vacuum of outer space. A European team of researchers sent a group of living tardigrades to orbit the earth on the outside of a FOTON-M3 rocket for 10 days. When the water bears returned to Earth, the scientists discovered that 68 percent lived through the ordeal. Although tardigrades are unique in their ability to survive in space, Miller insists there is no reason to believe they evolved for this reason or—as a misleading VICE documentary has implied—that they are of extraterrestrial origin. Rather, the tardigrade’s space-surviving ability is the result of a strange response they’ve evolved to overcome an earthly life-threatening problem: a water shortage. Land-dwelling tardigrades can be found in some of the driest places on Earth. “I’ve collected living tardigrades from under a rock in the Sinai desert, in a part of the desert that hadn't had any record of rain for the previous 25 years,” Miller says. Yet these are technically aquatic creatures, and require a thin layer of water to do pretty much anything, including eating, having sex, or moving around. Without water, they’re about as lively as a beached dolphin. 2) Tardigrades can pause their biological clock.... 3) Tardigrades probably can’t see in color.... 4) Tardigrades can survive the harshest atmospheres.... 5) Even space radiation is no match for tardigrades.... 6) Still, tardigrades aren’t completely invincible. There might be one thing tardigrades are not so well-equipped to handle: high temperatures over a prolonged period of time, per a study published in Scientific Reports in January 2020. The study revealed that this temperature-based Achilles’ heel also extends to when tardigrades are in their protective tun states. Researchers studied Ramazzottius varieornatus, a species of tardigrade, in tun state and noted nearly 50 percent of the tardigrades exposed to 181 degrees Fahrenheit over the course of an hour perished. Active tardigrades—that is, those not in tun state—fared even worse. These temperature experiments show that, given time, most tardigrades can adjust to intense temperature fluctuations: The tardigrades who had an hour to acclimate to intense heat faced higher mortality rates, compared to those who had a full 24 hours. “Tardigrades can survive pressures that are comparable to those created when asteroids strike Earth, so a small crash like this is nothing to them,” Lukasz Kaczmarek, an expert on tardigrades, told The Guardian. So what does this mean for us? If humans could replicate cryptobiosis in the way tardigrades do, we’d live far longer than the average life expectancy. According to Kaczmarek, when a tardigrade enters the tun state, it doesn’t age. It becomes dormant at one month old and can wake up years later and still biologically be the same age. “It may be that we can use this in the future if we plan missions to different planets, because we will need to be young when we get there,” said Kaczmarek. 7) Some tardigrades lay spiked eggs....

Highlight interesting links. Hide irrelevant ones. Remove whole websites.." MarkALink - The Goals: https://marka.link/goals/ (NO sound here) "... Internet. Its possibilities are tremendous. But with great possibilities come great pitfalls. And I want to remind you about them, because they are so easily forgotten, though should not. Consciousness in the web. “Mindful” is an interesting word. Feels like “filled with mind” and means the state of awareness. Unfortunately the internet is the perfect engine for the let’s-be-not-so-filled-with-mind industry. It’s so easy to get distracted while using the web. Hundreds of psychologists, analysts, designers are working to make it so. They are hardly ashamed of using cognitive biases against their own kind. The reasons, however, are pretty usual: money and power - one’s everlasting desires. I’m not sure if these people are planning to be parents, I’m just not getting it, aren’t they going to fight their own kids over the systems they’ve helped to create? Children are known to be extremely vulnerable to all sorts of addictions. And a great number of the most popular services are. The scary thing is they’re designed to be. Two approaches to the problem. Developing mindfulness is a universal recommendation to halfly resolve most of our problems. Not globally, but we know that changing the world starts with ourselves. Asking questions like: “Is it what I need, what I truly like? Where am I gonna be by doing so? Is it where I want to?” - and listening closely would help us to find ourselves, open a new world. There are people indeed, who are aware of the situation and trying to reduce negative influences from the web. There are a lot of apps created to help us overcome dirty manipulative attacks. Or simply block. If you have difficulties finding what you need, drop me a note, I’ll try to help you Any of these approaches will make us feel better after some time will have passed. But the issue remains. Our kids, our parents are vulnerable and under the pressure of the system right now. One can not beat the system alone, but together we can. A bit of psychology. Every time our brain sees some specific info, it swallows it (that’s why we feel tired after “chilling” on the web or viewing TV). No thing we had seen in our lives was skipped. Our mind builds up theoretical knowledge from it (that’s why ads are working even though we think we can skip it). Theory is great, but to make our mind go live with it there is an event needed. We have all heard of the life-changing events. We’ve experienced ones. I think these events happen when we are ready. And to be ready is to have this theoretical knowledge. We all could have missed an opportunity to change our lives today, because we simply didn’t recognize it. To think about... So what I suggest to do. We can’t really influence such events much, but we can influence this theoretical knowledge. So do I, right now. Even though you could skip the reading through, there is a common negative attitude towards some things in the web grabbed by your brain. So one day, after tens of other articles like this you’re going to recognize this precious event of missing your child’s first words because of another game, video or whatever. You’ll understand that it is so much not worth it. Boom, life’s changed. I’d be proud to be part of it. If you’re already on the bright side. Already in? Good! Make everyone you care for read this article. Write yourself. Film a video. Spread it. Send a copy to me, I’ll post it. Reread what inspires you. Don’t give up. Share your stories or thoughts. Argue, fight, listen. Live!"...

Dixel are cool, I miss him.
