Kristen on the cover of Marie Claire France – June 2016
Kristen is on the cover (or three) of Marie Claire France ! Here are the first pictures thanks to @Gossipyal, the scans thanks to @Korita05, plus a new interview (translated by @Itsoktobeyouorg).
div align="justify">2016, the year of Kristen Stewart with five movies announced including Woody Allen's new one, opening the Cannes Film Festival. Choices that say who the American actress and Chanel muse is. A young woman who – from look to sexuality – masters the codes of her time and knows how to plays with them without limiting herself by doing so.
Kristen Stewart knows what she wants: to not be bored and for no one to fuck with her. She don't say it that way, but still said it. As her romance with the singer Soko fills the columns of the tabloids, she's in a very alert mood. It's 10am in Los Angeles, 7pm in Paris, the voice of the very beautiful Chanel muse turns the phone call into some bumpy ride. A rough journey, that's worth the effort. Kristen Stewart is rock'n'roll. Smart, clear-headed, wild, she acts like she breathes. In the short film 'Once and Forever', real-fake shooting done in 2015 by Karl Lagerfeld, she was a young bratty actress portraying Gabrielle Chanel. Muse of the fashion designer since already two years, Kristen has the (pretty) world at her feet. Woody Allen gave her the main feminine role in 'Café Society', which will open the Cannes Film Festival. Olivier Assayas shot her in 'Personal Shopper', two years after 'Clouds of Sils Maria', which led her, big first, to win the César for Best Supporting Actress. Twilight is far behind. The baby star has become an American figure that we love, an arty muse who plays the game. Her own.
Café Society, Woody Allen's latest, will open the Cannes Film Festival. Did you dream of working with him?
K: The idea of working with Woody Allen was intimidating. During the auditions, I doubted about my own legitimacy. At the end, I was really glad, I felt anchored, rooted. He is deeply intelligent, his off-the-wall way of approaching things… he instills depth in moments of pure comedy, this strange lightness is truly impressive. I was lucky.
Is there a place on earth where no one knows you?
K: It's strange because it's me saying it, but if I try to be objective I can tell you: 'Damn, no, nowhere.' Meeting people who don't care, who have other priorities, is really nice. I'm not super-shy or reserved, but I'm not the most outgoing person. Feeling constantly scrutinized.. Facing this, I developed a crazy acuity. It can make me completely paranoid, like: 'I swear to God they're listening what I say.'
Your life is defined by your job…
K: Yes! My life is distorted by my job, it's weird, because it's related to the job itself. As actors, we must be completely "spontaneous" and "directed" in circumstances that are themselves under control. Planning spontaneity is, by nature, a contradicton. I live a bit in the same way. I like to live in the moment, but I also have to protect myself. In my life, not jostle the schedule is an effort but it allows me to know spontaneous moments. It takes a bit of an organization. Sometimes you just say: 'Fuck it!' You make silly stuff, and it's ok. At the end of the day, the moments you experienced are yours. I don't care about my image in general, as long as I can live my life. I don't care who consumes it.
What do you love about celebrity?
K: Being an actor, creates ultra-strong bonds with people that, sometimes, you just met. Celebrity leads me to share this to a very large scale. We make movies to get closer to others, understand each other. I'm lucky, I love what I do, I make incredible encounters.
What do you hate about celebrity?
K: Waste time talking about it. (She laughs.) It's like that all the time, like now, we're on the phone for eight minutes now, we only talked about it. There's not much to say, and nobody wants to hear you complain about a job many people dream of doing.
It's been said that your team on photoshoots is incredibly cool and efficient.
K: For never having directed a movie, I do not have employees to fire.
It happens nevertheless that actors fire their agent, their publicist…
K: I work with the same team since I was 12 years old. The same stylist, the same publicist, the same agent, I have no manager. We're like family, we're doing a good job. It happened to me, on set while filming, to be photographed by people (that had nothing to do there), my staff protect me, they got these son of a bitch fired.
You grew up with three brothers. Does your mother told you: 'Kristen, you're beautiful'?
K: Yes, all the time! Constantly! We were so close when I was little, we still are. We were like buddies, the only girls in the family, she'd take me everywhere. Very young, I found myself with adults, and I think it's very important to be like that with children. To leave them a margin of impliation and interaction, as if they were already what you want them to be. I was her buddy. Yes, her fucking darling little girl!
When you look at yourself in the mirror what do you see?
K: Honestly, man, when I was little… I know there's nothing more annoying than actors or people considered seductive swaying bullshit like, "I was so ugly", but let me tell you: I was like my brother until I was 14 years old. Terribly worried about it, really weird, totally gangling, clumsy, they took me for a boy. Constantly. The first time they put a microphone on me, the audio engineer put tape on my chest – don't do a weird story of it, I was 10 years old. He pressed hard, saying: 'Hey, you're a tough kid, you're all right son?' And I answered, with a little voice: 'Of course not, stop.' (She laughs.) And it was like that absolutely all the time. At one point, I liked to be treated as someone of my kind. But do I love myself? Funny question. I'm happy, I'm very lucky, am healthy and I am aware of all of this.
You were apparently a tomboy. You used to fight as a child?
K: No, I never really fought, in the sense that I haven't received or given punch. But being the youngest, I was really in the competition, to excess. Sometimes, I'm embarrassing myself, I go too hard and people say to me: 'Calm down.' But fighting, no! I don't want to hurt people.
When you were 20, you played the game of the feminine woman with long hair. Why did you cut them?
K: I cut my hair for a movie, Equals, which will come out soon. It takes place in a dystopian reality, where all beings are genetically modified to be equal and watch over the group. They share the same curiosity. We all have the same appearance. I love having long hair, but I feel good with short hair, as if I was no longer hiding behind a veil. It's a new version of myself.
Long hair send a message, the message of femininity.
K: Everyone loves long hair. Result: everybody looks the same. Our generation is shaping a new way of being oneself, detached from these outdated conventions that dictate what is valuing and what we should look like. So many girls would be devastated, terrified if we cut their hair: "Oh my god, I'm no longer pretty!" But yes, you are! It's changing, very quickly by the way, the acceptance of this ambiguous nature. More and more, people are viewed as individuals. It's cool, and quite easy actually. People who don't allow themselves to look like what they really want to be, because of what people might think of them, make me feel sorry for them. This is crap, just awful.
My question may seem superficial to you, but have you noticed a difference in people's look at you?
K: Ever since I have short hair, yes, there are people who don't look at me anymore. Assholes like: 'I don't like you that much anymore!'. At first, when I was out without those long hair, I felt it: 'Wow, the experience is slightly different.'
What's worse, for you, at Hollywood: being a woman, being black or being gay?
K: I don't have extensive experience in this, I don't have much to say about this.
What do you have to say to the group of men governing Hollywood?
K: Nothing, except: 'Keep doing good movies, we try to do the same!' I'm fully aware of how lucky I am, the number of opportunities in my hands. For me, being a woman in the film industry is not stressful, even if, it's true, the roles for us are less numerous. I can't ignore that there's a real struggle on this subject but, to be honest, I don't have that in mind at the moment, I work a lot, it works well, and I am delighted.
So you're not following Jennifer Lawrence, who goes to war against income disparity between actors and actresses?
K: No, right now, I'm working on small movies in which we are like a family, all on the same level.
Is there a moment in your life when you did not feel free?
K: In life, you're often your worst enemy. We're all prisoners of ourselves in one way or another, growing and find out who we are, that's the goal right? I really appreciate aging. With everyday passing, I feel more free, more close to what I want to be, it's increasingly easy. I look at myself and I say: It's ok dude, relax.
Do you like yourself?
K: Watching people around you is a good way to measure your own worth. My friends and people I work with are exceptional. My work is my life, my life is my work. So yes, I look at these amazing people around me. I'm in their lives because they are great. Conversly, if they're there, there's a reason, I have to be pretty cool.

Brett Andrew, lead vocalist and guitarist, has returned to Pennsylvania where it all began after touring the World with the Robert Randolph Family Band. He has brought together a duo of his own, serving up a cocktail of over 120 covers with a base of Soul, a splash of Funk, blended with some gritty picking Rock 'n' Roll. This charismatic lead singer brings all his talent and experience to all types of regional venues. His unplugged version as a solo, duo or trio is just as engaging!


Lolskinshop.com has combined every single one of Shen lol skins into our system, we have made a single page for each skin, filled with tons of information and reviews.
Shen Build 8.24 ranks as an E-Tier pick for the Top Lane role in Season 9. This champion currently has a Win Rate of 49.43% (Bad) , Pick Rate of 1.32% , and a Ban Rate of 0.29% (Low) . Using Resolve Runes and a tanky support item build, combine with the Warden playstyle, this is a moderately difficult to play champion in league of legends.


The game of Roller Derby itself is played out on an oval shape track. The game consists of two 30-minute halves; within each of these half is a series of 2-minute "jams". There are two teams of 5 on the track for each jam, each team containing a jammer (the point scorer – has a star on their helmet), plus a pack containing a pivot (the one with the stripe on their head) and three further blockers. The overall aim of the game is for the jammer to lap the pack initially and then pass members of the opposing team, thus scoring points for each blocker passed. However blockers have the ability to try and stop the opposing team's jammer from passing them using a series of manoeuvres whilst trying to get their own jammer through the pack.
For more information head to the WFTDA website or check out google.
For our recreational league we can supply the skates. However, if you would prefer to buy your own there is no need to shell out lots of money on skates, you can get quad skates for about £30-£50 to start with. If you are looking to spend slightly more money, we urge you to seek recommendations from other skaters about different makes and styles as everyone has their favourites and have had issues with others! You don't want to shell out the big bucks for equipment that is not suitable. All our members love chatting about their gear and will help you out in our dedicated Facebook groups.
We can't stress enough the importance of decent kneepads, you only have one set of knees and they are very expensive to replace! You'll want to look for the "vert" or "aggressive" styles that skateboarders use on ramps. Be wary of knee pads that come in sets, the protective plastic covers tend to be small, and chances are that if they are small, they won't protect your knees properly. With kneepads you will find that it is worth buying the best you can afford but we have loads of different styles you can try while you save up. You will also need a set of elbow pads, again look for the "vert" or "aggressive" styles.
Double splint styles will give you the best protection possible so we highly recommend them. They are reasonably priced, around £10-15. Make sure you get the correct size so they fit securely and don't move on impact.
A skate helmet is the best thing to get for roller derby. Cycle helmets do not offer the right protection for your head. Skate helmets start from around £15. You don't need to spend a fortune on a fancy helmet you just need to make sure it protects your head adequately and that it fits properly, wearing a helmet that is a million miles too big won't protect your head if you fall.
Way more necessary than you can imagine! You can pick these up cheaply at most sports shops so there's no reason to put anything at risk! If you can afford to spend a bit more cash, Sisu mouth guards are excellent and come highly recommended as they allow you to drink and speak much more freely!
Please don't hesitate to contact us to ask if a certain make or style of any pads/skates/helmets will be suitable and worth spending your money on. There are plenty of great derby-run skate shops (like Double Threat Skates) and websites online that you can contact too, so don't hesitate to ask if your unsure. Its better to send a few e-mails rather then buy a load of gear you can't use.
Although KRG does have a good selection of spare pieces of equipment, these are available on a first come first serve basis and you won't be able to participate in practices if you are not properly protected – our free open days can get pretty busy!

Q: Php: does "static" behaves like C? I have a "main class" that generates a db access. Something like:
class ObjetBd extends Objet
{
    protected $bd;
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->bd = new BD();
        $this->bd->connect();
    }
}

This is "clean" code to me (I've removed the comment for the sake of compactness).
Now my problem is that $this->bd is generated for each object.
I'm wondering whether static object are generated + initialized once.
I'd like to call connect() once and use only one connexion, without using direct calls to static method (i.e. keep on using $this->bd like before)
If it's the case, could you please say if the following code will work flawlessly, and if it should use less ressources:
class ObjetBd extends Objet
{
    static private $bd_static;

    protected $bd;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        if (!isset(self::$bd_static)) {
            self::$bd_static = new BD();
            self::$bd_static->connect();
        }
        $this->bd = self::$bd_static;
    }
}

A: Yes, you are doing this correct.
Ignore the singleton comment, singletons are a good thing to avoid.
Although I do want to make a suggestion:
I'm going to assume BD is some kind of database. The power of OOP is the ability to subclass things, and replace objects without changing behaviour.
So it may be better to just pass your $bd object in the constructor. Just something to keep in mind. This is called 'dependency injection' or 'inversion of control'.

In Hilda Solís' L.A. District, A Congressional Race Is Already Heating Up
February 4, 2009	/ no comments	/	1935 views
By Pilar Marrero, La Opinión reporter and FI2W contributor
The delay in Congresswoman Hilda Solís' confirmation as secretary of labor hasn't kept two ambitious politicians from racing hard to replace Solís as the U.S. representative from California's 32nd District in Los Angeles.
Gil Cedillo.
There is no official election date yet –it has to be set by the governor after the seat is vacated–, but there has already been some drama and controversy behind the scenes between State Sen. Gil Cedillo and Board of Equalization Vice Chair Judy Chu.
First, the potential candidacy of another Latina, State Sen. Gloria Romero, spurred talk of a division in the vote that would cause the loss of a seat that a Latino has held for about 25 years.
But Romero decided instead to focus her ambitions on an obscure race for School Superintendent of California that she had planned beforehand.
Some suggested there had been pressure to get Romero not to run for this seat, and that Hilda Solís herself was behind the effort to get her long-time political ally Judy Chu to succeed her. Solís has not officially endorsed anyone, but it's widely known that Chu and her have been tight and have supported each other's campaigns for many years.
Richard Polanco, the godfather of state Latino politics, long retired from political life and now a lobbyist, is pushing hard on behalf of Cedillo, most famously known for his unsuccessful push, year after year, in favor of driver's licenses for the undocumented.
Judy Chu.
"I am an effective leader with a proven record," said Cedillo. "I'm used to fighting and I think I'll have the (support of) the majority of the Latino community."
Cedillo has the support of a majority of the state Latino caucus, with the exception of Kevin de Leon and Ed Hernandez, State Assembly members who represent portions of the area that is part of C.D. 32. They are with Chu.
Cedillo's senate district borders the Congressional district, but is not in it. He also has the support of several of California Latino Congress members, but it's unclear how that can help him at the local level.
Some, like Antonio Gonzalez, of the William C. Velasquez Institute, argue that this is a Latino seat, and that it should probably stay that way. C.D. 32 is a working class district that is 62% Latino.
"Traditionally, Latinos have elected candidates of their choice to this seat since 1982," Gonzalez said.
Both candidates will fight hard and get plenty of money to run, he added, "but the district is Latino, is full of immigrants and Cedillo has quite a name among them, the activists love him, la raza no se va a dejar… (la raza won't allow it.)"
But Judy Chu, who was mayor of Monterey Park, the city with the highest concentration of Chinese immigrants in the country and former assemblywoman from the area, has a lot of local support.
"There is no one that knows the people of the district better than I do. I taught students at East L.A. College and I was elected nine times in the area in the last 23 years," said Chu. "Besides, I have the endorsement of 70 local elected officials."
Last week, she got one of the most powerful endorsements in Los Angeles County: that of the king-making county AFL-CIO. Many speculate that the labor federation wouldn't dare go against the wishes –or the close friends– of the person nominated by President Obama to be secretary of labor.
In any case, if Solís is confirmed to Obama's cabinet, the race is certainly on.

Your baby is growing each day, stretching your belly, changing positions, and getting ready to be born. But it's hard to notice the little changes in your body, especially in the midst of everything else that needs to be done and prepared before baby's arrival.
Progress photos are a fun way to document your pregnancy and make a personal keepsake. The idea is to take regular photos of yourself as your pregnant belly grows so that you can view them like a pregnancy time line. With these regular pictures, you'll be able to notice differences in your body and belly that you didn't before.
Some women like to take pregnancy progress pictures so that they can put them together and share, make a video collage, or even put them in a pregnancy scrapbook or baby book. Or, you may wish to keep these precious photos all to yourself. You can look back on them whenever you want to remember this amazing time in your life.
It helps to set a goal of how often you will snap a picture, such as every month or every week. The more often you take pictures, the more proof you will have of the little changes.
In order to document the smallest changes, it's a good idea to take your photos in the same spot and position each time. Choose a spot with good lighting and a simple background. A side shot will show off the growth of your belly.
Another good idea is to wear the same clothing for each picture, demonstrating how your body is growing into (or out of) the same size. Stretchy, form-fitting clothes such as yoga pants and a light cotton shirt work well. It's your choice whether you want to snap pictures of your bare belly or keep your shirt down.
– Hold a piece of paper in each picture with the number of weeks written on it.
– Write the number of weeks on your belly with lipstick.
Use a little creativity to make your pregnancy progress photos fun and unique. You'll look back on them in the years to come with fondness and remember that tiny life inside of you.

Putting these together because the second is kind of like the former.
By "live layout switching" I mean assigning a chord to change keyboard layouts on the fly. Like, to switch languages, or tasks. Assuming that layout switching were fast, you could set up modes for different activities.
By "nonchord mode" I mean the ability to switch (hopefully live) to a layout that made the Twiddler behave like a standard keyboard: each key would send a key down when pressed, and a key up when lifted, independently of whatever other keys were down. It would be useful for controlling various kinds of programs. Games are the obvious one, but I'd also use it when controlling a synthesizer.
Remember that the Twiddler (and any keyboard for that matter) does not switch languages - that is done at the OS level. The Twiddler sends, and is always sending, standard HID codes to the OS. The OS looks them up against the current language table and presents the character on screen.
each key would send a key down when pressed, and a key up when lifted, independently of whatever other keys were down.
n-Key Rollover. The current topology does not support that as it does not support how the Twiddler detects its chords and does the lookups. For new versions of the Twiddler, n-Key Rollover could be interesting.
Right, I was thinking what I'd really want to do was make a chord that first sent whatever key command switched my OS's keyboard language, then switched layouts on the Twiddler to one optimized for that language. Just switching the language and doing the best I can with my normal layout is an option, but it would be nice to have a customized layout and multi-character chords, since my English MCCs aren't likely to do me much good!
I don't know if I'd call it n-key rollover, exactly. If there were some keys that couldn't be pressed together (those on the same row, for example), it wouldn't be the end of the world. It's more the immediate key/down up messages without chording that I'd be interested in. Although if there were a non-chord mode in a future version, n-key rollover would be a nice bonus.

It's Eurovison time again, and here's one of my favourites, the victorious Swedish entry from 1984
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To #94 - Southern Culture on the Skids - Camel Walk
These guys still make them like they used to but here's Camel Walk anyway
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To #93 - Mental As Anything - The Nips Are Getting Bigger
You might remember Mental as Anything from their smash hit " Live It Up " which graced the charts back in 1985 as well as the end credits of Crocodile Dundee but before that they released this New Wave inspired drinking song.
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To #92 - Joe Dolan - You're Such A Good Looking Woman
Here's a great clip of one of Ireland's first music superstars performing on European TV back in the early 70's while wearing one of the greatest ties (neckerchiefs?) ever made
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To #91 - Skeeter Davis - I Can't Stay Mad At You
Today's TDMTLTUT is in honour of how a bizarrely large proportion of the electorate must feel towards Fianna Fáil #ge16
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To #90 - Love Will Keep Us Together
Still can't decide which version of this classic I prefer, while Captain & Tennille's version was the smash hit and the version most people would know,but Neil (who wrote the song) bouncing away at the piano is also fun.
They Don't Make Them Like They Used To #89 - Laid Back
Danish electronic pop duo, Laid Back, had a top ten hit in Germany with "High Society Girl" in 1983. The video itself is a bit weird and typical early 80's TV cheap.
TDMTLTUT #88 - John Hegley - Eddie Don't Like Furniture
On this edition of "They Don't Make Them Like They Used To" I've gone for John Hegley who is a hard man to categorise. Hegley's a comedian, a poet, a writer (his last three books have potatoes in the title), a musician and a songwriter.
TDMTLTUT #87 - Hit The North
While "They Don't Make Them Like They Used To", I know The Fall do in fairness but I'm mainly putting this up because Frank Sidebottom's version always makes me smile.

Discussion in 'iPad Help' started by Qndnile84, Dec 24, 2017.
I have the new iPad Pro 10.5". Updated to 11.2.1 several days ago, most likely right away when that update came out.
Just last night, my dock started relocating. It moved from the center to the left, and stayed there. I restarted, it was centered, and at some point when I closed the game I was playing, or Facebook, or something, it had relocated to the right. If I rotate the iPad, it never recenters itself, only restarting will do it.
I've moved your post to it's own thread where it will receive more attention.
Hello and welcome to the forum! Just for clarification, what do you mean by the dock being 'centered'? The dock is located at the bottom of the display both in the portrait and landscape orientations as shown in the pic below (from the web).
I mean the dock is "centered" at the bottom of the display. The next time it happens, I will try pressing both buttons, since just using the on/off button only seems to fix it for a while.
This sounds like a software problem. There are several posts on the Apple forum about this. Hopefully it will get fixed, as constant rebooting isn't a permanent solution.
I ended up chatting with Apple support, which escalated to a phone call, which escalated to a trip to the Genius Bar. After a hardware diagnostic (nothing wrong there), the tech wiped my iPad, and reloaded the iOS.
I discovered that with at least one app (not sure about others as I haven't had time) I still have the issue. So the problem may lie with the app developers.
So my only hope is for a patch in a future iOS update, and/or the app developer updates to function better with the newest iOS.

May 5, 2015 By Conor Bateman | Tribeca Film Festival Reviews
Legendary documentarian and Direct Cinema luminary Albert Maysles passed away in March this year, leaving two films finished but as-yet unreleased. Iris, his profile of fashion icon Iris Apfel (and a film seemingly akin to his iconic Grey Gardens), has recently been released in cinemas in the United States, whilst his final film, In Transit, has gone the festival route, premiering at Tribeca, where it received a Special Jury Mention in the World Documentary section of the festival's program. In Transit is a collaborative effort; Maysles directed the film alongside Lynn True, Nelson Walker, David Usui and Ben Wu, and the multitude of narrative strands and cameras at work showcasing a slyly extensive production for what is ultimately a hyper-intimate work.
The film opens with some explanatory title cards about the Empire Builder, a cross-country train in America (specifically cross-Northern) that goes both ways from Chicago to the Pacific Northwest, the journey taking (in full) around 72 hours. The film is set up merely as an exploration of why people travel the Empire Builder, the first people we see on screen discuss their respective needs to escape Montana, though this focus shifts once the film finds a narrative throughline – a woman on board is pregnant and four days overdue. The train employees talk it over in their break room at one of the stops, though their conversation draws less from stress or fear than amusing real-time anecdote, with one of them saying "I have hot water and a towel, we can do this." Using this woman's pregnancy as a jumping point, In Transit finds its most potent moments of poignancy attached to the idea of family; parents and parental figures, and the idea of influence over the lives of others transcends a simple exploratory documentary about travel.
In something of a break from the tenets of Direct Cinema, Maysles and Co. have painted a non-linear portrait, chopping and changing from train to train, though they never appear on-screen or ask questions on-camera. Having filmed In Transit over the course of a few months, their footage stems from a variety of train trips and collection of passengers, and the fact that they filmed passengers going from both directions means that the film lacks a defining and regionally specific idea of escape. Lynn True edited the film as well as co-directing it, and she has done a marvelous job in crafting arcs of both character and thematic thrust. One of the more impressive and enduring elements to In Transit is in how we are introduced to people early on, following them merely as passengers interacting with one another, only to swing back to them later for a talking head interview that alters our perception of them. These people quietly bare their souls to one another and the camera lens, divulging secrets and personal truths to those they've never met before. It's a bracing thing, to suddenly be aware of the hardships faced by the people on the Empire Builder, whether domestic abuse, financial turmoil or absent fathers. The film also touches on the hope and prosperity attached to the oil fields in North Dakota, a weight and contextually relevant topic the directors could have just focused on, making something of a companion piece to Jesse Moss' startling The Overnighters. Instead, it forms part of the narrative patchwork, In Transit an unassuming and gentle overview of life itself.
It's not all interview footage, though, with some interesting landscape imagery peppered throughout to keep the audience aware of the vast natural diversity of America (a line about the good and bad parts of Montana hammers this home), as well as to reflect some things said by those on board; the idea of having to wait a few more days to arrive is played off against a shot of the train arriving at a station and waiting there, and at one point a young Chinese woman talks about wanting to show her future children nature more often that she has been able to, with the filmmakers then cutting to the snow-covered mountains and trees. In this respect David Usui's background in production for the Discovery Channel and filmmaking for Vice does come in handy.1
Though there's definitely the potential for the film to stray into something of an emotionally charged infomercial for Amtrak and the Empire Builder, the filmmakers temper this through the integral focus on real human stories, even those of the employees themselves. Maysles' swansong is moving, unpretentious and wholly endearing, with fingerprints of the restraint and skill of a master documentarian all over it.
Foot Notes
Lynn True and Nelson Walker's previous two documentaries, one set in Tibet (Summer Pasture) and the other the Congo (Lumo), also showcase a desire to tell human stories in far-flung and underseen locations.

Metals can be broadly separated into DUCTILE metals and BRITTLE metals. Examples of ductile metals include mild steel, copper etc . Cast iron is a typical brittle metal.
Ductile metals under high stress levels initially deform plastically at a definite yield point or progressively yield. In the latter case a artificial value of yielding past the elastic limit is selected in lieu of the yield point e.g 2%proof stress. At failure a ductile metal will have experienced a significant degree of elongation.
Brittle metals experience little ultimate elongation prior to failure and failure is generally sudden.
The maximum principal stress theory ..
The theory associated with Rankine.
This theory is approximately correct for cast iron and brittle materials generally.
According to this theory failure will occur when the maximum principal stress in a system reaches the value of the maximum strength at elastic limit in simple tension. For the two dimensional stress case this is obtained from the formula below (ref page on Mohrs circle).
FoS = Elastic Limit from tensile test / highest principal stress.
The Maximum Shear Stress Theory ..
The theory associated with Tresca and Guest.
in order of magnitude σ1 > σ2 > σ3..
The theory is conservative especially if the yield strength is more then 50% of the tensile strength..
Detailed studies have indicated that yielding is related to the shear energy rather than the maximum shear stress..
Strain energy is energy stored in the material due to elastic deformation. The energy of strain is similar to the energy stored in a spring. Upon close examination, the strain energy is seen to be of two kinds : one part results from changes in mutually perpendicular dimensions , and hence in volume, with no change angular changes: the other arises from angular distortion without volume change. The latter is termed as the shear strain energy , which has been shown to be a primary cause of elastic failure..
In terms of plane stress this reduces to..
In terms of simple linear stress combined with shear stress..
The theory associated with Haigh.
This theory is based on the assumption that strains are recoverable up to the elastic limit, and the energy absorbed by the material at failure up to this point is a single valued function independent of the stress system causing it. The strain energy per unit volume causing failure is equal to the strain energy at the elastic limit in simple tension..

Get out of the way and let the kids play.
Q: I'd like to order a t-shirt, but I'm not sure which style(s) would look good on me.
A: You had me at "I'd like to order a t-shirt." The fact that you like the t-shirts lets me know you are awesome and would look good in anything! Just pick the style that best fits you according to the size you want (see Product Measurements) and then choose the saying that best fits your personality (two options currently available).
Q: Where do you ship the t-shirts from and how long will it take for me to get mine after I place my order?
A: All t-shirts are shipped from Bellevue, Nebraska, the fashion mecca of the Midwest - a title I may or may not have just made up. Orders placed from the first to the fifteenth of the month should reach you by the end of the same month. Orders placed between the sixteenth and the end of the month should reach you by the fifteenth of the following month. Please realize: this is a delivery goal but there are no guarantees! The printing process takes two weeks from the time an order is placed and bulking orders together results in the lowest price possible for every customer. I appreciate your patience more than I love walk off home runs - which is A LOT.
Q: Do you take suggestions for t-shirt sayings?
A: Heck yes I do! Part of the fun of this project is collaborating with like-minded individuals. I'd love to roll out a new design every few months. If your idea gets chosen as a new design for my collection, you'll get the satisfaction of knowing you are a WINNER...and isn't that how all of us overly competitive adults want to feel? Even better, you'll get a free t-shirt. Share your idea with me today.
Q: What motivated you to come up with this idea?
Q: How do Stripe and PayPal compare as online payment processors?
Q: What's the symbolism behind your logo?
A: I wanted to show in a tangible way that the number of adults out there who support youth athletes the right way do, in fact, outnumber the crazies. Plus, I'll be less likely to lose my mind and act like a raging lunatic if I'm wearing one of these t-shirts. Thanks for asking. HIGH FIVE!
A: Excellent question. Here's a great article that compares Stripe with PayPal.
A: The lower case "i"s that appear in the GiveTheGameBack logo represent a child standing in front of an adult, a visual reminder that kids should be at the forefront of the youth athletic experience.
A movement to reclaim the game for developing athletes everywhere, encouraging parents & promoters of youth sports to get out of the way and let the kids play.

Dairy farmers suffer as sales drop drastically
Covid-19, floods cause huge losses to dairy farmers in Manikganj, Pabna
Dairy processors cry for funds to stay afloat
Singer's sales drop 41% amid pandemic
Over 6 lakh dairy poultry firms to get cash support
Cement sales drop 46% in April
Around 120 -150 litres of milk go unsold every day
At present, Bangladesh produces 99 lakh metric tonnes of milk annually – 70 percent of the entire local demand. However, dairy farmers' sales have declined due to the current coronavirus situation, according to a press release issued by the Bangladesh Dairy Farmers' Association (BDFA).
Now, around 120 -150 litres of milk go unsold every day – which may incur monthly financial losses of around Tk1,710 crore for dairy farmers.
The BDFA President Imran Hossain, Secretary Md Shah Emran, among others, participated in a video press conference, on Wednesday, at the association's Mohammadpur office, and sought government support for this industry's survival.
Imran Hossain said, "Marginal dairy farmers have experienced problems selling milk in the last seven days. Some have sold it for Tk10-Tk12 per litre – while others have not had any sales at all."
"Large milk manufacturers collect just five percent of the entire milk production – amounting to 13.59 lakh litres," said Imran.
"The rest of the milk is sold to sweetmeat producers and domestic users. However, sweetmeat shops are closed due to coronavirus, and the farmers are seeing serious losses," he added.
"Three of the large companies have the capacity to collect 3.5 lakh litres of milk every day to process milk powder. Additionally, 10 – 12 other companies could produce dairy products including: clarified butter, butter, flavoured milk, ice-cream and more. If the companies and government do not provide their support, around 50 percent of dairy farms will be shut down," said the BDFA president.
He also stated that there might be a shortage of milk and milk products this upcoming Ramadan due to the coronavirus situation.
"Bangladesh has 3.5 lakh dairy farms and 1.2 crore people are directly or indirectly affiliated with them," said Shah Emran, secretary of BDFA.
"The dairy sector is threatened now because of the high price of animal feed, commercialisation of electricity and water bills plus other issues," Emran opined.
So, he urged the government and large milk processing companies to come forward to improve the situation.

UK believes disease behind pandemic was passed from animals naturally

Coronavirus: UK believes disease behind pandemic was passed from animals naturally
The possibility that SARS-CoV-2 leaked accidentally from a Chinese laboratory is considered unlikely, Whitehall sources say.
The UK believes it is highly likely the strain of coronavirus behind the global pandemic first passed from animals to humans naturally unconnected to a laboratory, Sky News understands.
The possibility that SARS-CoV-2 – the coronavirus strain that causes COVID-19 – might have leaked accidentally from a Chinese laboratory cannot be disproved, but it is considered unlikely, according to informed Whitehall sources.
The UK position contrasts with a claim by US President Donald Trump, who said he had seen evidence that the Wuhan Institute of Virology was the source of the pandemic.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo went further, alleging there was a significant amount of evidence to support this theory.
The US administration has heaped blame on China for the pandemic in a standoff that has made the question about the origin of the virus increasingly political.
A statement released by US spy agencies last week was more balanced when considering whether the virus first infected humans naturally from an interaction with an animal or whether transmission happened by accident in a laboratory.
However, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which oversees all US intelligence and security agencies, did not place weight on either theory, in contrast with the UK.

Covid-19 or the pandemic of mistreated biodiversity
by Noah's Ark | Apr 30, 2020 | Animals, Climate Action, Climate Change, Conservation, Global, Natural World | 0 comments
The whole world has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic – we all fear for our own health, that of our loved ones and also those who are most vulnerable. In the span of just a few weeks, Covid-19 suddenly become more urgent than the crises of ongoing climate change or the dangerous decline in biodiversity. Catastrophic events that once monopolised world attention, such as the forest fires in Australia , suddenly seemed less serious than a pandemic that could touch all of us, immediately, in our own homes.
However, like other major epidemics (AIDS, Ebola, SARS, etc.), the emergence of the coronavirus is not unrelated to the climate and biodiversity crises we are experiencing. What do these pandemics tell us about the state of biodiversity?
New pathogens
Humankind is destroying natural environments at an accelerating rate. Between 1980 and 2000, more than 100 million hectares of tropical forest were felled, and more than 85% of wetlands have been destroyed since the start of the industrial era. In so doing, we put human populations, often in precarious health, in contact with new pathogens. The disease reservoirs are wild animals usually restricted to environments in which humans are almost entirely absent or who live in small, isolated populations.
Due to the destruction of the forests, the villagers settled on the edge of deforested zones hunt wild animals and send infected meat to cities – this is how Ebola found its way to major human centres. So-called bushmeat is even exported to other countries to meet the demand of expatriates and thus spreads the health risk far from remote areas.
We shamelessly hunt exotic and wild species for purely recreational reasons – the appeal of rare species , exotic meals, naive pharmacopeia, etc. The trade in rare animals feeds the markets and in turn leads to the contamination of urban centres by new maladies. The epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) rose out of the proximity between bats, carnivores and gullible human consumers. In 2007, a major scientific article stated:
This time bomb seems to have exploded in November 2019 with the Covid-19.
The danger of zoonoses
The consumption and import/export of exotic animals have two major consequences. First, they increase the risk of an epidemic by putting us in contact with rare infectious agents. While they're often specialized by species and thus cannot defeat our immune system or even penetrate and use our cells, trafficking and confinement of diverse wild animals together allows infectious agents to recombine and cross the barrier between species. This was the case for SARS and may have been the case for Covid-19 . Beyond the current crisis, this risk is not marginal: It should be remembered that more than two-thirds of emerging diseases are zoonoses , infectious agents that can pass between animals and humans. Of these, the majority comes from wild animals.
Second, capturing and selling exotic animals puts enormous pressure on wild populations. This is the case with the pangolin , recently brought to light by the Covid-19 pandemic. The eight species of this mammal, which is found in Africa and Asia, are poached for their meat and scales despite their protected status. More than 20 tonnes of meat are seized each year by customs, leading to an estimate of around 200,000 individuals killed each year for this traffic.
Humanity is thus doubly endangering itself: We are enabling the creation of emerging diseases and also destroying the fragile biodiversity that provides natural services from which we benefit.
The circumstances of the emergence of these new diseases can be even more complex. This is how Zika and dengue viruses are transmitted by exotic mosquitoes transported by humans through international trade. The trade in used tires in which water collects and allows aquatic mosquito larvae to develop and be transported is particularly criticized. Here the disease does not spread by a first direct contact between the human species and reservoir animals followed by intra-human transmission, but it is transmitted to the human species by vector mosquitoes, the latter moving efficiently with our help.
Managing human and environmental health
The World Health Organization's 'One Health' initiative advocates managing the issue of human health in relation to the environment and biodiversity. It has three main objectives: combating zoonoses, ensuring food safety and fighting antibiotic resistance.
The 'One Health' initiative seeks to promote optimal health for people, animals and the environment. Wikipedia
This initiative reminds us that we cannot live in an artificial cocoon, never be in contact with biodiversity whether it be wild, raised or grown. Two of the initiative's three targets – food security and zoonoses – are directly related to the current Covid-19 crisis. We should not create dangerously unsustainable food circuits, whether it be importing exotic species or feeding unnatural products to farm animals – this was what led to mad cow disease , after all.
The causes of the biodiversity crisis are well known and so are the remedies. First and foremost is stopping the destruction of the environment – deforestation, the world trade in any commodity or living species, the transport of exotic animals – for short-term gain, often just a few percentage points of profitability compared to local production.
The world after Covid-19
Voices are starting to be heard that that the 'world will not be the same after Covid-19' . So let's integrate into this 'next world' a greater respect for biodiversity. It's our greatest immediate benefit!
The world that we will leave to our children and grandchildren will experience deadly new pandemics , that is unfortunately certain. How many will there be depends on our efforts to preserve biodiversity and natural balances, everywhere on the planet. Beyond the current human tragedies, one can at least hope that Covid-19 has had the positive effect of raising this awareness.
Human activities, climate change
by Noah's Ark | Apr 30, 2020 | Climate Action, Climate Change, Conservation, Global, Natural World | 0 comments
The impacts of climate change on species and ecosystems are already evident. Poleward shifts in the geographic distributions of species, catastrophic forest fires and mass bleaching of coral reefs all bear the fingerprints of climate change.
But what will the world's biodiversity look like in the future?
Projections indicate that unless emissions are rapidly reduced the climate crisis will get substantially worse. Up to 50% of species are forecast to lose most of their suitable climate conditions by 2100 under the highest greenhouse gas emissions scenario.
But we still lack answers to some basic questions. When will species be exposed to potentially dangerous climate conditions? Will this occur in the next decade or only later in the century? Will the exposure of species accumulate gradually, one species at a time? Or should we expect abrupt jumps as the climate limits of multiple species are exceeded?
Our understanding of when and how abruptly climate driven disruptions of biodiversity will occur is limited because biodiversity forecasts typically focus on individual snapshots of the future. We took a different route. We used annual projections of temperature and precipitation from 1850 to 2100 across more than 30,000 marine and terrestrial species to estimate the timing of species exposure to potentially dangerous climate conditions.
Based on these projections, we estimate that climate change could cause sudden biodiversity losses. These could occur much sooner this century than had been expected. This new analysis indicates that a high percentage of species in local ecosystems could be exposed to potentially dangerous climate conditions simultaneously.
Rather than slowly sliding down a climate change slope, many ecosystems face a cliff edge.
Risk of abrupt biodiversity loss early this century
Abrupt biodiversity loss due to marine heatwaves that bleach coral reefs is already under way in tropical oceans. The risk of climate change causing sudden collapses of ocean ecosystems is projected to escalate further in the 2030s and 2040s. Under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario the risk of abrupt biodiversity loss is projected to spread onto land, affecting tropical forests and more temperate ecosystems by the 2050s.
These dire projections use historical temperature models to find the upper limit that each species can survive under, as far as we know. Once temperatures rise to levels a species has never experienced, scientists have very limited evidence of their ability to survive.
It's possible some species, such as those with very short generation times, may be able to adapt. For species with longer generation times – such as most birds and mammals – it may be only a few generations before unprecedented temperatures occur. When this happens the species' ability to evolve out of this problem may be limited.
Abrupt losses of biodiversity from climate change represent a significant threat to human well-being. In many countries a large percentage of people rely on their immediate natural environment for their food security and income. Sudden disruption of local ecosystems would negatively affect their ability to earn an income and feed themselves, potentially pushing them into poverty.
For instance, marine ecosystems in the Indo-Pacific, Caribbean and the west coast of Africa are at high risk of sudden disruption as early as the 2030s. Hundreds of millions of people across these regions rely on wild-caught fish as an essential source of food. Eco-tourism revenues from coral reefs are also a major source of income.
In Latin America, Asia and Africa, large parts of the Andes, Amazon, Indonesian and Congo forests are projected to be at risk from 2050 under a high emissions scenario.
Sudden loss of animal communities could negatively affect the food security of people in these regions. It could also reduce the long-term ability of tropical forests to lock up carbon if the birds and mammals that are important for dispersing seeds are lost.
Urgent next steps
These findings highlight the urgent need for climate change mitigation. Rapidly reducing greenhouse gas emissions this decade will help save thousands of species from extinction, and protect the life-giving benefits they provide to humans.
Keeping global warming below 2°C flattens the curve of climate change risk to biodiversity. It does this by massively reducing the number of species at risk and buys more time for species and ecosystems to adapt to the changing climate – whether that's by finding new habitats, changing their behaviour, or with the help of human-led conservation efforts.
There's also an urgent need to ramp up efforts to help people in high risk regions adapt their livelihoods as climate change alters local ecosystems.
Projecting where and when species will be exposed to dangerous climate change throughout the century could provide an early warning system, identifying those areas most at risk of abrupt ecological disruption. In addition to highlighting the urgent need for reducing fossil fuel usage, these results could help guide conservation efforts, such as designating new protected areas in climate refugia.
They could also inform resilient ecosystem-based approaches for helping people adapt to changing climates. An example would be planting mangroves to protect coastal communities against increasing flooding. The potential to continuously update and validate these near-term projections as ecological responses to climate change unfold should further refine projections of future climate risks to biodiversity that are so central to managing the climate crisis.
Our planet is still teeming with life. And with the right political leadership and daily actions that we take as citizens, we still have the power to keep it that way.

Study: Protect these places — or face climate doom
by Noah's Ark | Apr 16, 2020 | Climate Action, Global, Natural World | 0 comments
To stop climate catastrophe, there are certain places on Earth that we simply cannot afford to destroy, according to new research by Conservation International scientists.
Compiling carbon data from forests, grasslands and wetlands, the scientists determined how much carbon is stored in ecosystems across the globe and measured how long it would take to get it back if it is lost — and what that loss would mean for humanity.
The result: A blueprint for where — and how — to focus efforts to protect Earth's living carbon reserves.
'A generation's worth of carbon'
The scientists identified pockets of "irrecoverable carbon" — vast stores of carbon that are potentially vulnerable to release from human activity and, if lost, could not be restored by 2050. (Why 2050? It's the year by which humans need to reach net-zero emissions to avoid a climate catastrophe.)
Irrecoverable carbon spans six of the seven continents, including vast stores in the Amazon, the Congo Basin, Indonesia, Northwestern North America, Southern Chile, Southeastern Australia and New Zealand. These ecosystems contain more than 260 billion tons of irrecoverable carbon, most of which is stored in mangroves, peatlands, old-growth forests and marshes. This amount of carbon is equivalent to 26 years of fossil fuel emissions at current rates.
"We are talking about a generation's worth of carbon contained in these critical ecosystems," explained Allie Goldstein, a climate scientist at Conservation International and the paper's lead author. "The good news is that we now know where this irrecoverable carbon can be found — and it is largely within our control to protect it."
Carbon is constantly flowing in and out of ecosystems, added Conservation International scientist Will Turner, also an author on the paper.
But as humans destroy city-size swaths of forests at an increasing rate, the scale is tipping heavily toward "out."
"We already know that fossil fuels release massive amounts of emissions and that we need to keep them in the ground," Turner said. "We now know that when particular ecosystems are destroyed or degraded, they release massive amounts of carbon that we simply can't get back in time to avoid the most dangerous impacts of climate change. We have to make protecting these places a top priority of this decade."
Defining 'irrecoverable'
In the paper, scientists analyzed the carbon stocks stored across the world's major ecosystems through three dimensions: whether humans can influence that stock of carbon, the amount of carbon likely to be released if the ecosystem was disturbed or converted, and how quickly the stock could be recovered if lost.
With these criteria, the researchers were able to pinpoint which ecosystems are most crucial to prioritize for climate action — and where humans can actually have an impact.
"There are some carbon stocks in ecosystems such as tundra, where permafrost will release carbon as it thaws due to global warming itself," Turner said. "Unfortunately, at this point there is little we can do directly in those places to keep the carbon from releasing. But other carbon stocks that we studied are being released due to human activities such as clearing forests — which means that humans can also make a difference by protecting them."
Driven by agriculture and logging, tropical deforestation rates have soared across the globe. In the Amazon, the world's largest rainforest, forest destruction has surged a staggering 85 percent since 2018. Mangroves continue to be destroyed, with more than 100,000 hectares (247,000 acres) lost from 2000 to 2012. Peatlands are suffering a similar fate, drained and cleared, mostly to make room for oil palm plantations.
We've still got time
According to Goldstein, however, there is still time to protect these critical ecosystems.
"We are right in the sweet spot of where the carbon stocks in most of these ecosystems are still manageable," Goldstein said. "Our land-use decisions still matter right now. If temperatures increase by more than 2 degrees Celsius, then there will be more ecosystems that are going to shift into that unmanageable category."
Although not every ecosystem that stores irrecoverable carbon is under threat at the moment, past does not always equal future when it comes to risk, Turner says.
Take Borneo: A few decades ago, the island was filled with peatlands and forests teeming with wildlife, he explained. Now, Borneo has a staggeringly high rate of deforestation, with more than a quarter million hectares of old-growth forests and peat destroyed every year, much of it converted to oil palm plantations.
As agricultural production and development intensify across the globe, countries must act both reactively and proactively to protect these crucial ecosystems, Turner advised.
"Preventing deforestation only in places where it is happening right now is like having a health-care system made up only of emergency rooms. We need to be proactive about protecting these living carbon reserves while we still can."
Protect nature, protect carbon
The bad news: If we lose a third of this irrecoverable carbon, that alone would put us over our carbon budget to stay within a 1.5-degree Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) temperature rise —the limit that scientists say is necessary to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
The good news: There are a number of activities that humans can do to protect it, says Bronson Griscom, who leads Conservation International's work on natural climate solutions and was also a co-author of the new study.
To stop climate breakdown, he explained, we need to do two things: emit less carbon and remove excess carbon from the atmosphere.
"Irrecoverable carbon stocks are an essential piece of the natural climate solutions story," Griscom said."We need to start designing the next generation of protected area networks that span across a number of these critical ecosystems with high irrecoverable carbon stocks, and prioritize protection for the ones that are most at risk. These ecosystems are not only critical for our climate, they are also hotspots for other essential ecosystem services like flood control, water filtration and biodiversity."
Next step: a 'treasure map'
Now that these scientists know which ecosystems hold the most irrecoverable carbon, they are determining where exactly they can be found.
"By locating irrecoverable carbon stocks at a global scale, we can provide countries with a treasure map of the places we can least afford to lose and the places where we have to halt deforestation the fastest," explained Goldstein.
"This will help us actually plan irrecoverable carbon protection and where to allocate funding at the local, national and global scale."
What sets this map apart: It will show how much irrecoverable carbon is in existing protected areas and under indigenous management, and where — as well as the pockets that are currently unprotected.
Conservation International is also using this research to undertake an ambitious initiative to protect tens of millions of hectares of ecosystems high in irrecoverable carbon.
But to avoid the most severe impacts of climate change, protecting irrecoverable carbon must be a priority across industries and stakeholders — from the private sector to governments.
"We have growing evidence that the final battle ground whether we fail or succeed in delivering the Paris Climate Agreement of holding the 1.5 degrees Celsius global warming line, is not only whether we are able to get off fossil fuels, it is also whether we are able to safeguard the carbon sinks in nature," said Johan Rockström, Conservation International's chief scientist. "Here, we provide the first global assessment of the ecosystems that hold our future in their hands."

70,000 Endangered Sea Turtles Lay Eggs on Empty Beaches During Quarantine
by Noah's Ark | Apr 15, 2020 | Global, Natural World | 0 comments
While humans are on lockdown, Olive Ridley sea turtles are making a comeback on Indian shores.
70, 000 Olive Ridley sea turtles are storming the Odisha Rookery, a coastal beach in India, to do a mass nesting in broad daylight. While this once-a-year event is normally a big time tourist attraction, Indian people are on a 21-day stay-at-home order.
Now authorities don't have to work as hard to protect the hatcheries from pesky human interaction. These hatcheries were severely damaged last year thanks to Cyclone Title, rendering the Olive Ridley unable to reproduce at normal levels. Once the storm passed, the Indian Forest Department was able to clean up the debris and prep their shores for the turtles' triumphant return.
The hatcheries are important because they protect the eggs during the critical stage of nesting. With the help from fisherman and other volunteers, they keep dogs and other predators at bay.
Once the turtles are hatched and head toward the ocean, their survival rates dwindle thanks to birds and other sea creatures looking for a quick lunch. An even bigger threat to their existence are nets from commercial fishing boats.
This year, the Indian government has deployed its own boats to keep commercial fisherman away. At least half of all Olive Ridley nest on Indian shores, according to the Odisha Wildlife Foundation.
A single Olive Ridley can lay 100 eggs before heading back out to sea. Once fully grown, an Olive Ridley can reach up to 2 feet in size.

Remains of 90 million-year-old rainforest discovered under Antarctic ice

Fossil traces of an ancient rainforest were just unearthed in West Antarctica.
About 90 million years ago, West Antarctica was home to a thriving temperate rainforest, according to fossil roots, pollen and spores recently discovered there, a new study finds.
The world was a different place back then. During the middle of the Cretaceous period (145 million to 65 million years ago), dinosaurs roamed Earth and sea levels were 558 feet (170 meters) higher than they are today. Sea-surface temperatures in the tropics were as hot as 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 degrees Celsius).
This scorching climate allowed a rainforest — similar to those seen in New Zealand today — to take root in Antarctica, the researchers said.
The rainforest's remains were discovered under the ice in a sediment core that a team of international researchers collected from a seabed near Pine Island Glacier in West Antarctica in 2017.
As soon as the team saw the core, they knew they had something unusual. The layer that had formed about 90 million years ago was a different color. "It clearly differed from the layers above it," study lead researcher Johann Klages, a geologist at the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research in Bremerhaven, Germany, said in a statement.
Back at the lab, the team put the core into a CT (computed tomography) scanner. The resulting digital image showed a dense network of roots throughout the entire soil layer. The dirt also revealed ancient pollen, spores and the remnants of flowering plants from the Cretaceous period.
By analyzing the pollen and spores, study co-researcher Ulrich Salzmann, a paleoecologist at Northumbria University in England, was able to reconstruct West Antarctica's 90 million-year-old vegetation and climate. "The numerous plant remains indicate that the coast of West Antarctica was, back then, a dense temperate, swampy forest, similar to the forests found in New Zealand today," Salzmann said in the statement.
The sediment core revealed that during the mid-Cretaceous, West Antarctica had a mild climate, with an annual mean air temperature of about 54 F (12 C), similar to that of Seattle. Summer temperatures were warmer, with an average of 66 F (19 C). In rivers and swamps, the water would have reached up to 68 F (20 C).
In addition, the rainfall back then was comparable to the rainfall of Wales, England, today, the researchers found.
These temperatures are impressively warm, given that Antarctica had a four-month polar night, meaning that a third of every year had no life-giving sunlight. However, the world was warmer back then, in part, because the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere was high — even higher than previously thought, according to the analysis of the sediment core, the researchers said.
"Before our study, the general assumption was that the global carbon dioxide concentration in the Cretaceous was roughly 1,000 ppm [parts per million]," study co-researcher Gerrit Lohmann, a climate modeler at Alfred Wegener Institute, said in the statement. "But in our model-based experiments, it took concentration levels of 1,120 to 1,680 ppm to reach the average temperatures back then in the Antarctic."
These findings show how potent greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide can cause temperatures to skyrocket, so much so that today's freezing West Antarctica once hosted a rainforest. Moreover, it shows how important the cooling effects of today's ice sheets are, the researchers said.
