Haven't seen this much dedication to a story since you tracked Dennis into the washroom at the Hilton!

Inspiring.

When I was a kid we played kick to kick in the street in footy season and cricket in the summer. All the kids in the street would play it. You never see it anymore. I haven't seen it for years. Used to have massive water fights on hot days too.

Smaller towns where everyone trusts each other - or knows exactly who to watch out for - it still happens, but you gotta do a lotta miles before you see those places in my experience.

Huge loss for kids not to feel like they own their own neighbourhood anymore like we did in our era.

This discovery is rather amazing to say the least...


“It’s very confusing,” said Joel Leja, assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at Penn State and co-author on both papers. “You can make this uncomfortably fit in our current model of the universe, but only if we evoke some exotic, insanely rapid formation at the beginning of time. This is, without a doubt, the most peculiar and interesting set of objects I’ve seen in my career.”
…

The researchers were also perplexed by the incredibly small sizes of these systems, only a few hundred light years across, roughly 1,000 times smaller than our own Milky Way. The stars are approximately as numerous as in our own Milky Way galaxy — with somewhere between 10 billion and 1 trillion stars — but contained within a volume 1,000 times smaller than the Milky Way.

Leja explained that if you took the Milky Way and compressed it to the size of the galaxies they found, the nearest star would almost be in our solar system. The supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way, about 26,000 light years away, would only be about 26 light years away from Earth and visible in the sky as a giant pillar of light.

“These early galaxies would be so dense with stars — stars that must have formed in a way we’ve never seen, under conditions we would never expect during a period in which we’d never expect to see them,” Leja said. “And for whatever reason, the universe stopped making objects like these after just a couple of billion years. They are unique to the early universe.”

Scientists Baffled: Webb Uncovers Ancient Galaxies That Defy Explanation

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed mysterious objects in the early universe that challenge current theories of galaxy and supermassive black hole evolution. These objects contain old stars and massive black holes, much larger than expected, suggesting a rapid and unconventional form o

Good to see some top journals finally starting to recognise permaculture in a scientific manner...only the best part of five decades late to the party...


RPTU University of Kaiserslautern-Landau has shown for the first time, in a joint study with BOKU University, that permaculture brings about a significant improvement in biodiversity, soil quality and carbon storage.

In view of the challenges of climate change and species extinction, this type of agriculture proved to be a real alternative to conventional cultivation—and reconcile environmental protection and high yields.

Permaculture uses natural cycles and ecosystems as blueprint. Food is produced in an agricultural ecosystem that is as self-regulating, natural and diverse as possible. For example, livestock farming is integrated into the cultivation of crops or the diversity of beneficial organisms is promoted in order to avoid the use of mineral fertilizers or pesticides.

In a study, published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment, researchers from RPTU and BOKU have now, for the first time, comprehensively investigated the effects of this planning and management concept on the environment.
…
According to the study, the soil quality and biodiversity on the permaculture plots was distinctly higher compared to the surrounding conventional agricultural land as well as compared to the literature values for conventional agriculture.
The carbon and humus content of the permaculture soils was roughly comparable to the values in grassland in Germany. Grassland is considered an important reference, as it typically has the highest humus content of agricultural or forestry areas in Germany.

A high humus content in the soil is important for nutrient and water storage—a key factor in times of climate change, for example to withstand periods of drought. Although no mineral fertilizers were used on the permaculture areas, their soils had a higher soil nutrient content. This is also beneficial for human health. "The higher nutrient levels in the soil suggest that these are also higher in the crops produced," says Julius Reiff.

Permaculture found to be a sustainable alternative to conventional agriculture

RPTU University of Kaiserslautern-Landau has shown for the first time, in a joint study with BOKU University, that permaculture brings about a significant improvement in biodiversity, soil quality and carbon storage.

phys.org

In this study, we observed strong increases in soil carbon stocks, soil quality, and biodiversity through the use of permaculture. These results suggest that permaculture could contribute to the urgently needed transformation of agriculture to mitigate negative effects on various Earth system processes such as climate change, biogeochemical nitrogen and phosphorous flows, biosphere integrity, land-system change, and soil degradation. Our results suggest that permaculture is an effective tool to promote sustainable agriculture ([Sustainable Development Goals] SDG 2), ensure sustainable production patterns (SDG 12), combat climate change (SDG 13) and halt and reverse land degradation and biodiversity loss (SDG 15)100.

Permaculture enhances carbon stocks, soil quality and biodiversity in Central Europe - Communications Earth & Environment

Increased soil carbon, lower soil bulk density, higher earthworm abundance and vascular plant richness indicate that permaculture in Central Europe enhances soil health and biodiversity, suggest field experiments in Germany and Luxembourg.

Owners of Samsung products...a preview of what happens when the company engages with you over the life threatening situation they put your family in...will only refund if they stayed silent...no damages offered...and all because they are trying to do things endlessly cheaper and push even harder their planned obsolescence mentality...


Mr Owens said he has been exposed to refrigerant on multiple occasions.

"A few times I've had bad leaks — it makes you light-headed, you can feel sick, disorientated, nauseous, confused," he said.
Mr Owens said that chemical combination normally stays confined, but if exposed to heat and components like insulation, it could cause a chemical reaction.

He said that in contrast to older refrigerators, newer models have pipes with thinner walls, making them more prone to leakages.

"The newer ones don't last as long and they're more likely to leak," he said.

The Raes say their fridge malfunctioned, triggering illness, and their refund offer included a 'gag clause'

Victorian couple Adele and Alex Rae say they were exposed to a "really strong" chemical smell coming from their Samsung fridge, which caused Ms Rae to collapse. They've been offered a refund on the condition they never talk about it again.

As the process of getting Joe Biden out of office proceeds, I do not think it will any longer be possible, absent more of the compulsive self-deception abroad among us, to pretend the United States is the democracy it purports to be according to the documents those in power purport to uphold. It is too evident now that the frantic deliberations of the donor class—this phrase repeated daily now by perfectly straight-faced journalists—are what determines who will hold the high offices of our land.

Stop worrying about Russia’s oligarchs, for heaven’s sake. They are none of our concern. Let us now forthrightly address the presence of our own atop us.

But no problems raised in the Australian media (AFAIK - anyone?) over Modi, our supposed very close military ally doing it yesterday?
