Kevin Lee wants Khabib Nurmagomedov to vacate the UFC lightweight title
UFC lightweight fighter Kevin Lee thinks that UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov should voluntarily vacate his belt instead of putting the division on hold.
From the moment that Khabib Nurmagomedov announced he was retiring—following a successful title defense against Justin Gaethje at UFC 254 in October—White has insisted in interviews that he expected Nurmagomedov to reconsider ending his competitive career. As recently as last Saturday, White said that at a meeting with Nurmagomedov in Abu Dhabi, the lightweight champion told him he might return to action if "something special" happened at UFC 257.
Even with that statement wins, White admitted that he's not convinced they were enough to draw Nurmagomedov back into the fold after speaking with him after Saturday night's event.
"I did talk to Khabib," White said at the evening's post-fight presser. "He said to me, 'Dana, be honest with yourself. I'm so many levels above these guys. I beat these guys.' I don't know. I don't know what he's—it doesn't sound very positive, so we'll see.
"And what he said was, I told you guys before, he won't hold the division up. I mean, he already retired. He's retired, I'm the one that's been trying to get him to do one more."
That's the first time White has at least somewhat waved the white flag when it comes to Nurmagomedov's comeback negotiations, which isn't surprising given that he had already said earlier this week that he was not planning to go back on a promise he made to his mother. Khabib didn't even stick around to watch UFC 257 in-person, instead of leaving Abu Dhabi after corning his cousin Umar Nurmagomedov to a win on Wednesday.
Kevin Lee wants Khabib to vacate the belt
Lee is one of the top-15 lightweights in the world and is one of the fighters striving to hold the belt that Nurmagomedov currently wears around his waist. However, with "The Eagle" openly talking about retiring, Lee wants him to give up his title and let the rest of the division be able to fight for it again. Speaking to SCMP MMA, Lee said he hopes the UFC lets Nurmagomedov retire in peace and encouraged him to give up his belt.
"I think the man should go ahead and retire. (The UFC) should let him retire, let him enjoy himself, and let him take his mind off the sport. Dana has said this before — once a guy starts talking about retirement, this isn't a sport you want to stick around with. You should go ahead and do it and let the division go on," Lee said about Nurmagomedov.
"Let us keep working. Let somebody else hold that belt for a little bit. (Nurmagomedov) will be back — there's no doubt about that — but let him be missed for a little bit. I think that's the best option."
Lee himself is set to return to the Octagon in the coming months after missing the past year due to double knee surgery. As Kevin Lee's return is getting near, he's already got a name and date in mind.
The UFC lightweight contender would like to rematch former interim champion, Tony Ferguson, in his return to fighting. Lee lost to Ferguson by third-round submission in an interim lightweight title fight in 2017 at UFC 216. It's the only time he's headlined a UFC pay-per-view event. Lee thinks Ferguson is still a top fighter, but maybe not for long. He's interested in facing Ferguson now before any potential age-related decline in his game.
Ferguson is coming off losses to Justin Gaethje and Charles Olivera, which snapped an impressive 12-fight winning streak that lasted nearly six years. Lee is adamant now is the time to fight "El Cucuy" before it's too late.

After amazing team competitions with astonishing results the European Youth Championships in Portugal found another very successful ending in the individuals and doubles competition. It was a pleasure to be there and to witness awesome performances and exciting matches. Our congratulations go to all players, trainers and associations which achieved their aims and to Portugal as a gorgeous host nation for our beloved sport.
All in all our younsters gathered 14 medals in the cadet and junior competitions. Ioannis SGOUROPOULOS (GRE) in junior boys singles, Vladimir SIDORENKO (RUS) in cadet boys singles and Sophia KLEE together with Anastasia BONDAREVA (GER) in cadet girls doubles gained gold, which is an outstanding result.
Wenna TU (GER) was not able to win the final in cadet girls singles but the silver medal anyway is a great achivement.
Rares SIPOS (ROU) missed the chance to play the final in the junior boys competition due to the loss in a very close match. After leading 3:1 against the later champion he was not able to finish the match in the next three sets, but shouldn't be too unhappy about his very good third place.
In the junior girls singles event noone was able to stop Jing NING (AZE). Only Adina DIACONU (ROU) was close to beating her but had to congratulate her opponent after leading 3:2 and a very close 6th set.
Nevertheless the junior girls singles prooved to be dominated by our shooting stars and ended up with a silver medal won by Anastasia KOLISH (RUS) and two bronze medals won by Maria TAYLAKOVA (RUS) and Adiana DIACONU (ROU). Next to that Jennie WOLF and Luisa SAGER (GER) who won bronze in the junior girls doubles.
In the cadet girls competition the resuls were very similar to the junior girls. Wenna TU (GER) was not able to beat Elizabeta ABRAAMIAN (RUS) and gained silver, while Elena-Adriana ZAHARIA (ROU) and Anastasia BONDAREVA (GER) steped on the podium to recieve the bronze medals.
Thank you very much for the photography to Olivier Merlet and Michael SANZ from SUATT – the French PRO B team Ioannis SGOUROPOULOS is playing for.

Q: large image rotation in corona i have an image with size 1162 x 16 which i want to rotate on the touch "moved phase" event ,
the problem is that when the image rotates it gets scrambled "pixelated", although it is not getting scaled ,
i tried with an image of size 128 x 128 but the image was not pixelated,
could it be due to the large size of the image !!
does the rotation affect the image structure???
anyone has an idea why that happens???
or if anyone has a workaround ,, would you please help me with that .
here is the updated code after making it square :
local bck = display.newRect (0,0,display.contentWidth,display.contentHeight)
bck.x = display.contentWidth * 0.5
bck.y = display.contentHeight * 0.5
bck:setFillColor (255,255,255)

local img = display.newImageRect ("laser1.png",1170,1170)
img.x = display.contentWidth * 0.5
img.y = display.contentHeight * 0.5

local  function getRotation(PointX1,PointY1,PointX2,PointY2)
  --display.getCurrentStage():setFocus ( Bug )
  local atan2 = math.atan2
  local pi = 3.14159265358

  local deltax = PointX2 - PointX1
  local deltay = PointY2 - PointY1

  local currentAngle = ((atan2(deltay,deltax) )* 180.0) / pi
  local rotationDigree = currentAngle - img.previousAngle;

  img.previousAngle  = currentAngle

  return rotationDigree;
 end

local function handleTouch ( event )
 img.previousAngle = 1
 if( event.phase == "moved" ) then
    img.rotation = getRotation ( img.x , img.y , event.x , event.y )
 end
end

Runtime:addEventListener ("touch",handleTouch)

A: Your image is not square. This means that when you rotate by 90 degrees (say) you are trying to fit a 16 x 1162 image into a space that's 1162 x 16.
This means that the image is being squashed in one dimension and stretched in the other.
You need to make both the source and target images 1162 x 1162 adding a border, either transparent or some known colour not in the original image so you can remove it once the rotation is complete.
The test image of 128 x 128 works because it's square.

Tom Palley wrote a strongly worded critique of Modern Monetary Theory last year, which got a lot of attention int he world of heterodox economics. He has just put up a second piece, MMT: The Emperor Still Has No Clothes, reiterating and extending his criticisms.
Palley is a smart guy who I've learned a lot from over the years. But this is not his best work.
By way of preliminaries: MMT consists of three distinct arguments. First is chartalism, the claim that the value of money depends on its acceptability to settle tax obligations. This goes back to G. F. Knapp. Second is functional finance, the claim that government (conceived of as a consolidated budget and monetary authority) seeks to adjust the budget balance to achieve full employment, it can never be prevented from doing so by a financing constraint. This goes back to Abba Lerner and Evsey Domar. And third is the employer of last resort (ELR), a proposal for a specific form of spending to be adjusted under the functional finance rule. This seems to be an original contribution of Warren Mosler goes back to Hyman Minsky.
Personally, I find it useful to set aside the first and third of these arguments and focus on the second, functional finance. My own attempt to restate the functional finance claim in the language of contemporary textbooks is here. In my view, the essential difference between functional finance and orthodoxy is that the assignments of the interest rate and budget instruments are flipped. Instead of setting the interest rate to keep output at potential and setting the budget balance to keep the debt on a sustainable path, we assign the budget balance to keeping output at potential and the interest rate to debt sustainability.
Palley wants to knock down all three planks of MMT. What are his objections to functional finance?
(1) In the absence of economic growth, government deficits will lead to inflation regardless of the output gap. This claim is asserted rather than argued for.  It's not clear what the relevance of this point is, since he agrees that deficits are not inherently inflationary when there is positive growth. Perhaps more importantly, this is a rejection not just as of MMT but of almost all policy-oriented macroeconomics, mainstream and heterodox. Whether you're reading David Romer or Wendy Carlin or Lance Taylor, you're going to find a Phillips curve that relates inflation to current output. There are plenty of disagreements about how expected inflation comes in, but nobody is going to include the budget balance as an independent term. In his eagerness to debunk MMT, Palley here finds himself reasserting Milton Friedman-style monetarism.
(2) If we assume an arbitrary floor on spending and an arbitrary ceiling on taxes, then it may be impossible to achieve both full employment/price stability and a sustainable debt path with interest rates fixed at zero. Yes, this is true. But it proves too much: If we impose arbitrary constraints on tax and spending levels then there is no guarantee that we can achieve debt sustainability and price stability with ANY interest rate. At any given interest rate, there is minimum primary balance that must be achieved to keep output at potential. There is also a minimum primary balance that must be achieved to keep the debt-GDP ratio constant. There is no a priori reason to think the first balance is higher than the second. So Palley's argument here could just as well be a proof that there is nothing government can do to prevent public debt from rising without limit. In any case, these arbitrary limits on taxes and spending are not a feature of standard macro models (including Palley's own models elsewhere), so it's hard to justify bringing them in here.
(3) MMT lacks a theory of inflation. On the contrary, MMT has exactly the same theory of inflation as orthodox macro: High or rising inflation is the result of output above potential, disinflation or deflation the result of output below potential. In other words, MMT is consistent with a standard Phillips curve of the same kind Palley (and almost everybody else) uses. To be fair, the Wray and Tymoigne piece Palley is responding to is not as clear as it might be on this point. But Palley is supposed to be writing a critique of MMT, not just of one particular article. And people like Stephanie Kelton state unambiguously that MMT shares the orthodox output-gap story of inflation; see for instance slide 13 here.
(4) MMT doesn't work in open economies because it requires persistent interest rate differentials between countries. Palley claims that the idea that you can hold interest rates in a given country at zero indefinitely is inconsistent with covered interest parity, a "well-established empirical regularity" that "states there is no room for systematic arbitrage of cross-country interest rates." It seems that Palley has confused covered and uncovered interest parity. CIP is indeed well established empirically, but it only says that there is no arbitrage possible between the spot and forward markets for a given exchange rate. It does not rule out interest-rate arbitrage in the form of the carry trade, and so does not have any implications for the viability of MMT. If UIP held, that would indeed rule out a persistent zero interest policy in the absence of an equally persistent currency appreciation. But UIP, unlike CIP, gets no empirical support in the literature. Japan has sustained the near-zero interest rates that Palley says are unsustainable for 15 years now, and in general, persistent interest rate differentials without any offsetting exchange rate movements are ubiquitous. Furthermore, if financial openness rules out a policy of i=0, then it equally rules out the use of interest rates as a tool for demand management. The best thing you can say about Palley here is that he is parroting orthodoxy; otherwise he is thoroughly confused.
There is one thing that Palley is right about, which is that substantially all of MMT can be found in the old Keynesian literature. This isn't news — in the same Stephanie Kelton slideshow linked above, she goes out of her way to say that there is nothing "modern" about MMT. And so what? There's nothing wrong with updating insights from the past. In my opinion, most useful work in economics is about pouring old wine in new bottles.
I don't write this from a position within MMT. I tend to feel that the genuine insights of Lernerian functional finance are obscured rather than strengthened by basing them in a chartalist theory of money. It's fine if Tom Palley disagrees with our friends at UMKC and the Levy Institute. But he needs to put down the blunderbuss.
 In fact it's a bit hard to understand what Palley is claiming here. First he says that "money financed deficits" must lead to inflation in a static economy, even with a zero output gap. He adds in a footnote that money-financed are not inflationary in a growing economy; in that case, for price stability "the high-powered money stock must grow at the rate of growth." Then when he writes down a model, this has become the condition that government budget must be balanced, which is something different again. Also, I must say I can't help wrinkling my nose a little, when I read about the "stock of high-powered money," at the smell of a musty antique.
EDIT: Thanks to Daniele Santolamazza for correcting me on the origins of the ELR proposal.
Nothing specific to general debate here but since you bring in debt sustainability – you seem to think that balance of payments doesn't matter for debt sustainability. This notion is highly erroneous. The debt is usually made sustainable by deflationary adjustments to income and it affects both employment.
I will send you a mail of a paper by finding your email address. The paper is an appendix by Bob Rowthorn and Wynne Godley in the 1994 book Unemployment in Europe, J. Michie and J. Grieve Smith (eds).
The thing about debt sustainability is that ordinary proofs assume a constant deficit/gdp and then "show" that it sustains to some number. This assumption itself is an error. For if a nation is growing too fast compared to its exports, the current account is deteriorating and this acts on the budget balance. So to keep it sustainable fiscal policy has to give in. Of course if the rest of the world is growing fast, exports are also growing so good but there is no need to assume this – especially as is the case now.
You can try to check this on an excel sheet. And it isn't too difficult. Suppose exports are growing at 1% and GDP/income is growing at 5%. Suppose we start with a CAD of 3%. The current account will continue to deteriorate which means our assumption is wrong, so it can't grow too fast. You can also test this by exaggerating the claim. Suppose debt is always sustainable independent of the external sector. As a corollary, it should be for zero exports as well. Which sounds wrong. So there is some dependence on exports/imports.
I think a clearer way to state this is that we have both a public debt sustainability condition and an external debt sustainability condition. The second can — and often does — bind even if the first does not. But this is a problem for orthodoxy as much as for MMT. The implication is not that MMT won't get you to full employment, it is that you can't get to full employment, period.
OK, after reading a bit on your blog and the email you sent me I understand what you are saying. Yes, the balance of payments may be a binding constraint that prevents full employment being achieved via the budget balance. But the thing is, this also prevents full employment being reached through interest policy either. To me, the interesting claim is that IF the orthodox policy assignment is possible then the functional finance assignment is also possible.
If Palley had written an article saying, MMT has the same limitation as conventional monetary policy, namely, it can only achieve full employment with some kind of controls on the external account — that would have been a useful contribution. But that isn't the article he wrote.
What gets me in these debates is how nobody ever seems to get around to the idea that the private and public sectors have to be sustainable together. If the combined debt/gdp ratio of the two is persistently growing , sooner or later you'll hit the wall , and then you'll be talking about things like permanent negative real interest rates , red money and green money — in other words , crazy stuff.
I hope we never get to that point.
I will confess, I am not really interested in the policy question on a literal level. I don't run the state, my friends don't run the state, I don't trust the people who run the state, so the question of the state "should" do is not really relevant to me. What I am interested in is the way that political choices get reframed as objective economic constraints. So to me, the important question is why, if functional finance and orthodoxy are basically equivalent at the formal level, there is such commitment to the idea that the state faces a financial constraint. In other words, clarifying what the state can and cannot do is a tool for understanding the goals of the people who do run the state.
I'm also interested in the way the increasing elasticity of the monetary system is both necessary and threatening to the reproduction of capitalism as a system. On this point, chapter 2 of David Harvey's A Companion to Marx's Capital is useful.
The main aim of AD management policy is to keep RGDP as close to optimal levels as possible. I believe this can best be done via control of the size of the monetary base. But unlike Market Monetarists I believe this is best done via govt running deficits and reserving asset purchases for fine-tuning and stabilizing interest rates.
I think this takes me close to a functional finance position.
I'm just trying to see what additional value is added by the other things you list as features of MMT. I can't get too excited about their theory of money (could be right but not sure what difference it make0 . But the ELR bit interested me a bit.
One potential problem with AD management (using combined fiscal/monetary policy) is that inflation may kick-in at a level of employment that is too low to be healthy. ELR could ,at one level, be just a better way of using the pool of unemployed thus created in a more productive and humane way. But I'm suspecting its meant to be more than that. Perhaps using ELR as a buffer between unemployment and inflation has some additional features that I'm missing. I'm know it s a bit off topic but can you elaborate on that bit of MMT. ?
Yes, in principle ELR is supposed to pin down inflation by fixing the nominal wage. Personally I don't find that part of the package convincing.
Lerner thought that if inflation turned out to rise while output was still below potential, the solution was to try to reduce markups via antitrust policy. As far as I can tell, MMT has not taken up that part of functional finance.
I find people's misinterpretation of the ELR amusing. Not sure why it is quite so difficult to grasp.
ELR declares by fiat that all those that were previously short of an 'ordinary job' have an 'ordinary job' and a wage.
That's why there is no 'phillips curve' or NAIRU in MMT. Because both of those rely upon the notion of 'unemployment' and there is none in MMT. The 'trade off' changes to reference those on the ELR instead.
It's counter-cyclical social security with a twist.
(i) people can choose to go onto ELR social security, which disciplines the standard economy much more than a 'minimum wage' does, but doesn't disrupt the wage structure entirely like an income guarantee does.
(ii) The size of the ELR is less of a social issue – no more 'bring down unemployment', no more 'shirkers' – and therefore normal businesses can be allowed to go bust, not pay redundancy, etc because the ELR will catch people who lose their jobs during a retrenchment. That disciplines the spending and wage channels since there need be no bailouts or 'special industries' that pump-priming requires. Overpaid workers get a forced wage cut when they move to the ELR as do greedy bosses.
(iii) People on the ELR are working and producing output – so they are more productive than on unemployment benefit or income guarantees. And because they are working they become cheaper to hire from normal businesses' point of view (less risk if you see them working). That eliminates a current risk cost completely from the economy (the 'long term unemployed' issue).
There are quite a few other benefits as explained in the literature which heavily drift into sociology and social cohesion and the nature of the way humans are (their innate need to see reciprocation).
Thanks for the explanation. However, I still prefer to separate the ELR and functional finance strands of MMT. Not because I object to ELR — which may well have the merits you describe — but because I think the two arguments are logically independent and presenting them as a unit is a source of confusion.
The one point I want to push back on is the notion that under ELR there is no Phillips curve. You can just as well think of the curve as a relationship between output and inflation, rather than between unemployment and inflation. And when you look at it that way, there is no difference between MMT and orthodoxy — both see inflation as a positive function of the output gap, and think that holding output at potential is a necessary and sufficient condition for price stability.
Also, what I find less convincing is the idea that fixing the nominal wage for the ELR would be effective at stabilizing the price level. Not the desirability of a jobs guarantee as such.
Thanks for the comment, Warren. I don't think I've read that article — will look at it.
Question for you. I prefer to express the idea that the government is the monopoly currency issuer, by saying that the government sets the rate of interest. Do you see an important difference between those two statements?
The theory of inflation is the same as the one used any other Post Keynesians: demand-pull and cost-push aspect matters. See here.
We did not cover this in the paper because nobody previously made the critique that MMT has no theory of output price.
Eric – Glad you read the post. I've learned a lot from your stuff on interest rates. I think your critique of the idea if a "real" interest rate is correct and important.
On the issue of inflation –is this a criticism of what I wrote? You're right, I said inflation is a function of the output gap when it would be more correct to say its a function if the output gap and the product wage. But still, isn't this the orthodox view also? Is there anything in your linked piece — which I just skimmed — that contradicts what you would find in a good mainstream textbook like Blanchard?
Or perhaps more precisely, in a good "mainstream heterodox" textbook like Tom Michl's.
Yes you can find concerns about cost-push and demand pull in New Keynesian models for example. Where the NEK and PK models will differ is in their modeling of the inflationary components. For example, for the output gap, there is no natural growth rate in the Post Keynesian approach. The structure of the economy responds to change in current economic activity (effective demand theory).
I think the distinction between the output gap and the unemployment rate is an important one. The mainstream view that there is a unique NAIRU that exists in the future independently of the path of demand and growth does not make much sense in a heterodox world. There may be a NAIRU at any point in time, but its strongly path dependent, subject to hysteresis, as we are discovering unfortunately post 2008. So I think it makes more sense to use a Phillips type curve relating inflation to utilization in a heterodox model because that leaves open the possibility that the growth rate is endogenous, as Eric suggests. Rather than just writing n for the natural rate of growth and assuming the system adapts to that. Openness to the possibility of endogenous growth seems to be one of the things that unites us as heterodox (I prefer the term structuralist) macroeconomists?
As always, terrific post and comment thread.
Thanks for the comment. I'm delighted you're still reading the blog.

I agree! Or, I agree and disagree, I agree that there is no level of potential output that exists "out there" independent of the path of demand. But I don't see why that's an issue here. All we need (for both the function finance and orthodox views) is that both fiscal and monetary policy affect unemployment and inflation only via the level of aggregate expenditure. As long as that is true, then we can define a target level of expenditure, which will not depend on what instrument is targeting it. I think this assumption is unproblematic for unemployment, I think in the short run policy can treat employment and output as alternative measures of the same quantity. For inflation it's a bit trickier. You can tell stories in which monetary policy, in particular, affects inflation through channels other than aggregate expenditure. Palley seems to be suggesting a story of this kind. I personally think he is wrong here, but he is not trivially wrong. This question could be further elucidated.
So in terms of the specific issues here: I don't think this the divide between Tom and Eric/Randy/etc. is along this dimension. I don't think the divide between MMT and the mainstream is along this dimension either. You can write a Taylor rule in terms of utilization rather than unemployment, that's fine. It's easier, because you don't have to worry about Okun's law. The question that is in dispute is not the level of output that should be targeted. It is, whether government financing constraints can prevent that target from being reached by fiscal policy. Do you see it differently?
Openness to the possibility of endogenous growth seems to be one of the things that unites us as heterodox (I prefer the term structuralist) macroeconomists?
I don't like the term heterodox either. But it's hard to coordinate on an alternative! Why structuralist, rather than Post Keynesian or (radical) political economy? I'm sure you saw Anwar's thing in the latest New School Review. He says we need to think of ourselves as developing a positive project for understanding the world, and not just a critique of established economics, which is a good reason to reject the "heterodox" label. But he also says, and I'm inclined to agree, that the Keynesian and Marxist-Classical alternatives are just two different bodies of theory. Yes, they overlap, but they each also overlap with the mainstream at different points. So if we want to drop a label that just says No to the mainstream and instead say Yes to an alternative, we may have to make some hard choices about which alternative we are choosing.
Is that a wrong reading of him, do you think? Or do you think he's wrong about this?
I would put structuralism on the Keynesian side of this divide. No?
Wicksteed beat Knapp to chartalism (and makes a lot more sense too).
I haven't read Anu's piece but it sounds like I would agree with it. Structuralist seems like a good description of the overlap between post keynesians and marxists; we share the view that aggregate social structures like class, the corporate form of organization, etc. are valid, and we pretty much share a common language. Let's coordinate on that term; Tom Palley calls himself a structuralist keynesian and Lance Taylor a structuralist so its just a question of broadening the use. Heterodox sounds so subaltern.
I don't understand MMT very well. Your post that it doesn't matter how you solve the assignment problem was persuasive and cogent. It (and MMT) seems premised on assuming that g and r are independent. I've become convinced that the real interest rate belongs in the investment equation, g(r), which means that g-r is not something we can just set greater than zero to solve the problem of fiscal deficits. Also that fiscal policy, e.g. the debt ratio, affects the long run position of the IS curve (assuming interest payments go to rentiers who spend them on consumption), so it affects the r that stabilizes inflation.
So the question of exo/endogenous growth is important to me b/c a given growth target puts constraints on the feasible fiscal policy, or given fiscal policy, on the ability of a monetary authority to set the inflation-neutral interest rate.
I'm happy to coordinate on structuralist. Of course the nature of coordination is that everyone has to do it together. So we're a bit hostage to whatever terms people actually use.
Re MMT, I'm less interested in the specific body of work that goes under that name and more in the general question of what it means to say that public spending and taxes are or are not subject to a financial constraint. Which is part of the larger question of the articulation of capitalism as a system of production and distribution with capitalism as a system of money claims.
The rest of your comment I address in a new post.

Scientists found a new, faster way of interstellar travelling
Nadiya Ivanenko Nadiya Ivanenko 07.12.2022 at 18:32 Оновлено: 07.12.2022 в 19:25 131 0
Scientists have proposed a new mission to travel to the stars, inspired by the flight of seabirds. It is to use the changing winds generated by the Sun to accelerate the spacecraft to 2% of the speed of light within two years, allowing it to fly beyond our solar system.
People have long dreamed of leaving the limits of the solar system, but the incredible distances between the stars create serious obstacles on the way to this goal. NASA's Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977, are the first probes to enter interstellar space, but they will still need tens of thousands of years to reach another star system.
The team of scientists, led by Mathias N. Larrouturou, a spaceflight researcher at McGill University found that their new "new spacecraft propulsion concept that induces dynamic hover of seabirds" appears to be possible to reach speeds approaching 2% of the speed of light after a year and a half or 0.5% of the speed of light after 1 month, depending on the trajectory through the solar system, according to a recent study, published in the Frontiers of Space Technologies journal.
"This method may include the first stage of a multi-stage mission to carry out a real interstellar flight to other solar systems," the researchers are confident.
Over the years, many concepts have been proposed for interstellar missions, from powerful lasers for acceleration to huge ships that transport people across the galaxy. Larrouturou and his colleagues envision another type of architecture centered around a "magnetohydrodynamic wing," which is an invisible structure made of magnetic fields that resembles the physical wing of a bird or airplane.
This spectral wing can theoretically be created by two plasma magnets placed along the antenna several meters long. In the right parts of the solar system, the field created by the magnets could interact with the solar wind flows in different directions, just as birds use wind turbulence to create lift.

NASA finds possible second impact crater under Greenland ice
A NASA glaciologist has discovered a possible second impact crater buried under more than a mile of ice in northwest Greenland.
his follows the finding, announced in November 2018, of a 19-mile-wide crater beneath Hiawatha Glacier - the first meteorite impact crater ever discovered under Earth's ice sheets. Though the newly found impact sites in northwest Greenland are only 114 miles apart, at present they do not appear to have formed at the same time.
If the second crater, which has a width of over 22 miles, is ultimately confirmed as the result of a meteorite impact, it will be the 22nd largest impact crater found on Earth.
"We've surveyed the Earth in many different ways, from land, air and space - it's exciting that discoveries like these are still possible," said Joe MacGregor, a glaciologist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, who participated in both findings.
Before the discovery of the Hiawatha impact crater, scientists generally assumed that most evidence of past impacts in Greenland and Antarctica would have been wiped away by unrelenting erosion by the overlying ice. Following the finding of that first crater, MacGregor checked topographic maps of the rock beneath Greenland's ice for signs of other craters. Using imagery of the ice surface from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer instruments aboard NASA's Terra and Aqua satellites, he soon noticed a circular pattern some 114 miles to the southeast of Hiawatha Glacier. The same circular pattern also showed up in ArcticDEM, a high-resolution digital elevation model of the entire Arctic derived from commercial satellite imagery.
"I began asking myself 'Is this another impact crater? Do the underlying data support that idea?'," MacGregor said. "Helping identify one large impact crater beneath the ice was already very exciting, but now it looked like there could be two of them."
MacGregor reported the discovery of this second possible crater in Geophysical Research Letters on Feb.11.
To confirm his suspicion about the possible presence of a second impact crater, MacGregor studied the raw radar images that are used to map the topography of the bedrock beneath the ice, including those collected by NASA's Operation IceBridge. What he saw under the ice were several distinctive features of a complex impact crater: a flat, bowl-shaped depression in the bedrock that was surrounded by an elevated rim and centrally located peaks, which form when the crater floor equilibrates post-impact. Though the structure isn't as clearly circular as the Hiawatha crater, MacGregor estimated the second crater's diameter at 22.7 miles. Measurements from Operation IceBridge also revealed a negative gravity anomaly over the area, which is characteristic of impact craters.
"The only other circular structure that might approach this size would be a collapsed volcanic caldera," MacGregor said. "But the areas of known volcanic activity in Greenland are several hundred miles away. Also, a volcano should have a clear positive magnetic anomaly, and we don't see that at all."
Although the newly found impact craters in northwest Greenland are only 114 miles apart, they do not appear to have been formed at the same time. From the same radar data and ice cores that had been collected nearby, MacGregor and his colleagues determined that the ice in the area was at least 79,000 years old. The layers of ice were smooth, suggesting the ice hadn't been strongly disturbed during that time. This meant that either the impact happened more than 79,000 years ago or -- if it took place more recently -- any impact-disturbed ice had long ago flowed out of the area and been replaced by ice from farther inland.
The researchers then looked at rates of erosion: they calculated that a crater of that size would have initially been more half a mile deep between its rim and floor, which is an order of magnitude greater than its present depth. Taking into account a range of plausible erosion rates, they calculated that it would have taken anywhere between roughly a hundred thousand years and a hundred million years for the ice to erode the crater to its current shape -- the faster the erosion rate, the younger the crater would be within the plausible range, and vice versa.
"The ice layers above this second crater are unambiguously older than those above Hiawatha, and the second crater is about twice as eroded," MacGregor said. "If the two did form at the same time, then likely thicker ice above the second crater would have equilibrated with the crater much faster than for Hiawatha."
To calculate the statistical likelihood that the two craters were created by unrelated impact events, MacGregor's team used recently published estimates that leverage lunar impact rates to better understand Earth's harder-to-detect impact record. By employing computer models that can track the production of large craters on Earth, they found that the abundance of said craters that should naturally form close to one another, without the need for a twin impact, was consistent with Earth's cratering record.
"This does not rule out the possibility that the two new Greenland craters were made in a single event, such as the impact of a well separated binary asteroid, but we cannot make a case for it either," said William Bottke, a planetary scientist with the Southwest Research Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and co-author of both MacGregor's paper and the new lunar impact record study.
Indeed, two pairs of unrelated but geographically close craters have already been found in Ukraine and Canada, but the ages of the craters in the pairs are different from one another.
"The existence of a third pair of unrelated craters is modestly surprising but we don't consider it unlikely," MacGregor said. "On the whole, the evidence we've assembled indicates that this new structure is very likely an impact crater, but presently it looks unlikely to be a twin with Hiawatha."

'The Boys in the Band' writer Crowley dead at 84
This article shared 2336 times since Sun Mar 8, 2020
Mart Crowley—best known for writing the '60s seminal play The Boys in the Band, about a group of gay friends at a birthday party—died March 8 at age 84, media reports stated.
Writer Michael Musto broke the news, tweeting, " RIP, Mart Crowley, author of the groundbreaking gay play The Boys in the Band. He was Natalie Wood's assistant and told me she encouraged him to write the play."
The Boys in the Band, Crowley's first play, opened off-Broadway in 1968. He wrote the screenplay and produced the film version, which Academy Award winner William Friedkin ( The Exorcist ) directed.
According to Broadway World, among Crowley's other plays were A Breeze from the Gulf ( 1973 ) and The Men from the Boys ( 2002 ), a sequel to The Boys in the Band. He was also the producer/co-writer of the ABC TV series Hart to Hart for several years.
Locally, The Boys in the Band is currently running at the Windy City Playhouse through April 19. Carl Menninger—associate artistic director of Windy City Playhouse and director of the production—sent a statement to Windy City Times saying, "We are truly saddened by the passing of Mart Crowley. While none of us knew him personally, we feel we have a relationship with this tremendously gifted writer through his work. The Boys in the Band is an honest profile of the lives of many urban gay men in the 1960s. Not only is it a landmark play in the LGBTQ+ cannon but it is also an important American play. Writing and bringing it to the stage was an act of bravery during an era when even Time Magazine wrote that 'Homosexuality is a pathetic little second-rate substitute for reality, a pitiable flight from life.'
"Along with other brave people, Crowley helped pave the way for the LGBTQ+ movement. We are proud to present his work as an historic depiction of gay life in the 1960s. The play still invites people to reflect on the LGBTQ+ issues that we still struggle with as a society. The Boys in the Band has stood the test of time and that is the true sign of a gifted author. The best way to celebrate any playwrights legacy is to present their work. We consider it a privilege to share his play with our audiences."

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced a second tightening of mortgage rules in the past 12 months as Canadian household debt became a growing concern at the end of 2010 and historically low interest rates continued to persist.
The three main changes are maximum amortization periods will be reduced to 30 years from 35; the refinance limit of a home's value will be lowered to 85 per cent from 90 per cent; and the government is also withdrawing insurance on home equity lines of credit.
The new rules will be effective March 18.
"Canada's well-regulated housing sector has been an important strength that allowed us to avoid the mistakes of other countries and helped protect us from the worst of the recent global recession," Flaherty said in a press conference on Monday January 17. "The prudent measures announced today build on that advantage by encouraging hard-working Canadian families to save by investing in their homes and future.
The MortgageBrokerNews.ca community was vocally upset in past news tips that Ottawa may restrict mortgage lending further, and a majority expressed Harper and Flaherty were tackling the wrong debt issues. Many brokers feel looser rules around credit cards and auto financing need to be re-examined.
The mortgage rules announcement is also two days before Gary Mauris, Dominion Lending Centres president, is set to meet Flaherty for a pre-budget consultation roundtable in Regina, Sask.
Peter Kinch, owner of a mortgage brokerage in British Columbia, said he expects the measures to put a rush on the real estate market as buyers seek to get in before the deadline.
It's similar to last year's changes by Flaherty to the borrowing rules, he said. Whether or not they have an effect, on borrowing, many Canadians are likely to push real estate activities up to avoid the changes, Kinch said. "It's not really what these changes will do, but what the perception will be," he said.
Kinch said he was surprised that Flaherty acted so quickly this winter, but suspects there's a hidden message in the mortgage rule changes -- rate hikes are coming. This is a way for Flaherty to prepare Canadians to be more responsible with their borrowing ahead of the rise in borrowing rates, said Kinch.
"He's clearly trying to cut back on Canadians using their houses as ATM machines," he said.

Barr: DOJ probably has 'basis for legitimately indicting' Trump over Mar-a-Lago documents
by: Jared Gans, The Hill via Nexstar Media Wire
(The Hill) – Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Friday that the Justice Department (DOJ) probably has a "basis for legitimately indicting" former President Trump over the classified and sensitive documents law enforcement says were taken to Mar-a-Lago.
Barr told PBS's Margaret Hoover during an interview on "Firing Line" he thinks the DOJ has the evidence they would need to indict his former boss.
Trump explodes at special counsel appointment: 'I am not going to partake in it'
The Trump administration attorney general previously said in an interview with Fox News in September that he believed the DOJ was "getting very close" to having enough evidence to indict, but he hoped they wouldn't, based on what it would do to the country and the precedent it would set.
But he did, however, tell Hoover that if a former president commits a crime, they should be indicted for it.
"If the Department of Justice can show that these were indeed very sensitive documents, which I think they probably were, and also show that the president consciously was involved in misleading the department, deceiving the government, and playing games after he had received the subpoena for the documents, those are serious charges," Barr said.
His comments came the same day Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to oversee the investigations surrounding the documents that the FBI found at Mar-a-Lago in August and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
The FBI recovered thousands of classified and sensitive documents from Trump's property in Palm Beach, Florida, and an affidavit establishing the DOJ's probable cause to conduct the search stated that months passed while Trump's team refused to hand over the requested documents before the search.
Trump reacted to the special counsel news Friday, blasting the DOJ and saying that he would not "partake" in the investigations.
"I have been going through this for six years — for six years I have been going through this, and I am not going to go through it anymore," Trump said during an interview with Fox News Digital. "And I hope the Republicans have the courage to fight this."
"I am not going to partake in it," Trump added. "I'm not going to partake in this."
Trump faces potential fundraising problem as megadonors jump ship
Barr declined to say if he believes the DOJ should pursue an indictment or if he would do so as attorney general, but he said an indictment is becoming increasingly likely.
He said Garland will need to decide whether to indict and will need to weigh the facts with what it would do to the country and the office of the presidency.


Our team was contacted by a woman who had recently moved back to her childhood home after her father passed away. The house required some renovations and modern updating. She was in the early stages of the planning phase when odd sounds began waking her up at night. She could hear multiple voices at times and the noises occurred around the same time frame each evening which frightened her enough to contact us.
We arrived at her location within a few weeks time and our team took normal base readings, photographs, interviews and other pre-investigation set up.
We set up cameras and voice recorders all through the house . Our E.M.F. sweeps did indicated some electrical hotspots in the home and the homeowner has made arrangements to take care of that issue.
Our team collected hours of data and this is what we found…..

What Happens When a 383 Chevelle Meets a Mustang GT?
If you're not at all familiar with the world of rallying, then you need to stop what you're doing (after watching the above video, of course) and seriously educate yourself with some important YouTube browsing. Basically, rallying is a type of motorsport involving souped-up, street-legal cars that compete in various timed stages on closed-off road courses. In other words, it's like a lengthy, epic movie car chase scene, but in real life.
As if that didn't sound awesome enough, the guys over at the Two Dudes One Miata YouTube channel made rallying look like just about the most fun activity in the universe with this footage from the Lake Mountain 2019 Rally in Victoria, Australia. I mean, with the F-bombs dropping left and right and the Miata making hairpin turns at ridiculous speeds, this scene was basically a mix between a high-stakes sporting event and a buddy comedy.
Eventually, the "Two Dudes" end up surpassing the Evo due to quick-thinking on the part of the guy giving the coordinates (though he does mess up once or twice) and some fantastic driving. If that didn't get your adrenaline pumping, or at least make you laugh a few times, then you probably need to get your pulse checked.

Can Ginseng Berry Cure The Dreaded Hangover?
A Hangover Recovery Shot Based Around Ginseng Berry
A company believes ginseng berry can be a cure for the dreaded hangover. Going hard with friends and family, coworkers, the girls, or just random strangers shouldn't come with a price the next morning. Could this be true, a real hangover cure? So many have tried and failed.
Who are these three?
Don, Donny, and Josh are the three founders of 3AM Rebound. They started the company to create a dietary supplement based on ginseng berry, because of all its magical properties. Don is an avid watcher of the History Channel and one day he watched a show called "Appalachian Outlaws." He caught what is known as ginseng fever. For years he would talk about starting a ginseng company to anyone that would listen. Don has been an entrepreneur for most of his life and has developed one of the most respectable home inspection companies in Utah. He has a son named Donny, that is running an e-commerce site along with his friend Josh. Last year they made over $1M. Don wanted Donny and Josh to help him sale ginseng. After some convincing and research, they saw the opportunity in selling ginseng. The three got together and formed a business.
Why a recovery shot?
Don secured a partnership with a well known and highly respected ginseng farmer, that lives in the Appalachian mountains. Ginseng is one of the most precious herbs in the world. Asians spend thousands per pound for wild grown American ginseng. The three got together to discuss the direction of the business. They came to the consensus that they wanted to build a product around the ginseng berry. Ginseng berry is not well known even in some Asian cultures, but it's growing popularity in Korea. Koreans are known for creating products to cure hangovers. The founders came across several articles talking about how ginseng can cure a hangover. Ginseng berries contain amino acids called ginsenosides. Ginsenosides help with boosting your immune system, improve cognitive function, and detoxifying your liver. A shot designed for hangovers. What's worse than going out with friends for a good time and then waking up with a headache and feeling nauseous? Let's be honest nobody wants to eat dog hair!
