News coverage of wildfires tends to focus on the acute events: A blaze erupts, people are evacuated, homes burn down, sometimes lives are lost. And rightfully so鈥攊ts important to know whats happening as its happening. As a result though, there are lots of articles and images out that describe and show flames engulfing ugg mini forests and communities, and wildlands firefighters battling active burns. But whats left when the smoke clears At minimum, it takes years for ecosystems to recover from the worst wildfires. Often, years means decades. One 2011 study found that desert environments need more than 65 years to fully re-establish after the flames, and even with all that time, some things might never come back, like iconic saguaro cactuses. And a landscapes ability to recover from wildfire is being hampered by climate change. Places that might have once been able to bounce back from burns are now permanently devastated.

Anyone whos imbibed a glass of ouzo鈥攖he licorice-flavored spirit that is practically the national drink of Greece鈥攎ay be familiar with how it turns cloudy when the liquor is mixed with water. But there are still some mysteries about how such mixed liquids behave. Now physicists at the University of Twente in the Netherlands have captured the various life phases of an evaporating drop of ouzo on camera. They describe their work in a new paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy o nike af f Sciences. The so-called ouzo effect is a well-known phenomenon, among mixologists as well as physicists. Its what happens when you add water to ouzo a mix of water, alcohol, and anise oil or other liquors that contain anise鈥攏otably pastis, raki, arak, sambuca, and absinthe. The spirit takes on a milky appearance. This happens because adding water alters the alcohol-to-water ratio, a key factor in in determining the beverages oil solubility. Remember the adage about how oil and water dont mix Oil is hydrophobic, so water repels the anise oil. So if you decrease the solubility, instead of dissolving in adidas campus 00s to the ouzo, tiny anise oil droplets start to form, desperate to avoid contact with all that icky water. These in turn form larger micro-dropets. The milky appearance is due to how light scatters off those microdroplets. The Dutch scientists were keen to study this mechanism more closely, by examining how the liquid evaporates. They placed a drop of ouzo on a water-repelle airforces nt surface and se

One way or another, the Pillars of Creation are toast. Based on new observations at the European Southern Observatory, these awe-inspiring structures have another 3 million years before their ghostly image fizzles away into cosmic nothingness. Thats a maximum lifespan for the pillars, because theres a good chance they were already destroyed, o salomon xt ver a thousand years ago. Top image: ESO/M. Kornmesser First captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in 1995, the Eagle Nebulas Pillars of Creation, star factories enshrouded in clouds of hydrogen gas and dust, are unadulterated cosmic glory. As new stars flicker to life, the dusty entrails of their birth feed the billowing pillars. But the same celestial bodies that gave these incredible landscapes shape are also tearing them down. Thats because the powerful radiation and stellar winds of star formation are grinding the Pillars away, according to a new study which used ESOs MUSE instrument on the Very Large Telescope to illustrate the evaporation and 3D-orientation of the cosmic structures in unprecedented detail. MUSE now finds that the Pillars of Creatio mizuno volleyballschuhe n are shedding roughly 70 times the mass o airforces f our Sun every million or so years.

Time to put some classic pop culture mythology to rest. So, in the third-season The Simpsons episode Stark Raving Dad, Homer Simpson meets a mental health patient named Leon Kompowsky who believes that hes Michael Jackson. And he pulls off the voice well. So well, in fact, that fans adidas yeezyslide have speculated for years, despite Jacksons name not appearing in the credits Kompowskys voice actor was credited as John Jay Smith , it was, in fact, Jackson doing the vocal work.

Researchers in a new paper this week say that a highly virulent variant of HIV has been silently circulating in the Netherlands, likely for decades. Thankfully, the variant still responds to con adidas samba og ventional treatments and its spread appears to have declined in recent years. But the discovery may offer a timely lesson about the nature of germs like HIV and how they can evolve over time to become more dangerous. The researchers, based in the UK and elsewhere, had been working on the BEEHIVE project, a study meant to figure out why some strains of HIV can cause more harm to a persons immune system than others when left untreated鈥攖he end result of which leads to AIDS. To do this, they studied samples from people infected with HIV throughout Europe and Uganda, including those collected by earlier studies, hoping to find common mutations that could make the virus more damaging. During this search, they found a group of 17 peopl air max 1 e, mostly from the Netherlands, who all carried the same variant of HIV-1, the most common type of HIV.

Colorado wildlife officials on Wednesday confirmed the existence of a litter of gray wolf pups鈥攖he first thought to be seen in the state in decades. The discovery is also noteworthy in light of a voter-passed initiative last year to reintroduce wolves to Colorado by 2023. Throughout much of the U.S., gray wolves were driven to local extinction as a result of American expansion to the west and dedicated hunting programs. In Colorado, the last breeding populations had disappeared by the 1940s. Today, they remain an endangered species largely limited to Alaska and parts of the Northwestern and upper Midwestern U.S., as well as Canada and Mexico. But there have been hopes in recent adidas campus 00 years that wolves could start to reclaim some of their historic territories, either on their own or with the help of humans. Last year, Colorado residents passed an initiativecalling for the reintroduction of wolves to the state by 2023 in a tight vote that saw opposition from hunters and some ranchers. But it seems mother nature wasnt waiting for permission. According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, multiple staff, including a biologist, were able to confirm the sighting of at least three pups between June 4 and 8, though there may be more. The pups were found in the presence of co nike dunks panda llared wolves M2101 and F1084, nicknamed John and Jane.

Internet-connected devices are known for having their fair share of security issues鈥攅specially when it comes to cameras. But heres a new one: the BBC reported this week that a smart home security camera started sending video clips to the wrong person. The BBC first caught wind of the problem shortly after one of its employees purchased an internet-enabled camera made by Swann Communications and started receiving video footage that showed the inside of someone elses home. The company claims the problem is a one-off occurrence but theres been at least one other instance of the issue reported. The BBC staffer, Louisa Lewis, reportedly first purchased her security camera in December and didnt have any issues with it until last week, when she started getting notifi dunk homme cations from the device. The Swann camera t adidas campus 80s ypically alerts the user when it detects movement, so Lewis checked to see what was going on.

At first I ignored it I thought it must be an error then I had several other alerts, at which point I thought I had better get in touch with Swann.
