Mitsuko Uchida wordt 75...

Ik heb het al eerder gezegd: ik gebruik verjaardagen als kapstok om artikeltjes op mijn blog aan op te hangen, onafgezien van het feit of ik de persoon in kwestie nu leuk vind of niet. Meestal schrijf ik zo’n inleiding als het politiek “foute” figuren betreft, maar in het geval van de klassieke pianiste Mitsuko Uchida gaat het over iets helemaal anders. Ik hou namelijk helemaal niet van haar…

Brüggen Glacier in southern Chile is the longest glacier in the Southern Hemisphere, outside of Antarctica, at roughly 41 miles (66 km) long. Also known as Pío XI Glacier, it is part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field, a massive 6,360-square-mile (16,480-sq-km) mass of ice along the Chile-Argentina border. The highest ice towers on Brüggen Glacier range from 230-260 feet (70-80 meters) above sea level.

Okay we're calling it a day for now but a few final notes:

1. Will being a stealth spy is amazing, he's a legend. He plays those dumb idiots like Frans Brüggen plays the flute, and manages to talk to Saville at the same time. Stealth!!

2. Galen Verras. That's it, that's the note

3. Prologue by Chase Petra is still about Saville. Good talk

Adidas has banned football fans from buying German football kits customised with the number 44, after media raised its resemblance to the symbol used by World War Two-era Nazi SS units.

"We will block personalisation of the jerseys," an Adidas spokesman said.

SS units were the most responsible for crimes against humanity committed by the Nazis.

The newly released kit has also caused controversy with its choice of pink for the away colours.

The issue was first raised by historian Michael König, who said the design of the kits was "very questionable".

The SS rune was designed for use by the Nazi units in 1929. Members of the SS ranged from Gestapo agents to concentration camp guards. SS duties included administering death camps where millions of Jews and others were put to death.

Adidas spokesman Oliver Brüggen denied that the kit's resemblance to the Nazi symbols was intentional.

"We as a company are committed to opposing xenophobia, anti-Semitism, violence and hatred in every form," he said.

The same kit's away colour is bright pink for the first time in history. Supporters say it represents the country's diversity. But critics claim it is untraditional and has been introduced in order to raise money for the German Football Association (DFB).

Adidas has manufactured German jerseys since the 1950s.

But a decision by the DFB to drop German company Adidas in favour of the American giant Nike as the manufacturer of German football kits from 2027 has been blasted for lacking "patriotism" by Economy Minister Robert Habeck.

Germany will host this year's European Football Championship, which will be held in 10 different cities.

It's also half of 88 which is the hitler number so this is double bad.....

Astrophysics study explores turbulence in molecular clouds

On an airplane, motions of the air on both small and large scales contribute to turbulence, which may result in a bumpy flight. Turbulence on a much larger scale is important to how stars form in giant molecular clouds that permeate the Milky Way.

In a new study in the journal Science Advances, scientists have created simulations to explore how turbulence interacts with the density of the cloud. Lumps, or pockets of density, are the places where new stars will be born. Our sun, for example, formed 4.6 billion years ago in a lumpy portion of a cloud that collapsed.

"We know that the main process that determines when and how quickly stars are made is turbulence, because it gives rise to the structures that create stars," said Evan Scannapieco, professor of astrophysics at Arizona State University and lead author of the study. "Our study uncovers how those structures are formed."

Giant molecular clouds are full of random, turbulent motions, which are caused by gravity, stirring by the galactic arms and winds, jets, and explosions from young stars. This turbulence is so strong that it creates shocks that drive the density changes in the cloud.

The simulations used dots called tracer particles to traverse a molecular cloud and travel along with the material. As the particles travel, they record the density of the part of the cloud they encounter, building up a history of how pockets of density change over time. The researchers, who also included Liubin Pan from Sun Yat Sen University in China, Marcus Brüggen from the University of Hamburg in Germany, and Ed Buie II from Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York, simulated eight scenarios, each with a different set of realistic cloud properties.

The team found that the speeding up and slowing down of shocks plays an essential role in the path of the particles. Shocks slow down as they go into high-density gas and speed up as they go into low-density gas. This is akin to how an ocean wave strengthens when it hits shallow water by the shore.

When a particle hits a shock, the area around it becomes more dense. But because shocks slow down in dense regions, once lumps become dense enough, the turbulent motions can't make them any denser. These lumpiest high-density regions are where stars are most likely to form.

While other studies have explored molecular cloud density structures, this simulation allows scientists to see how those structures form over time. This informs scientists' understanding of how and where stars are likely to be born.

"Now we can understand better why those structures look the way they do because we're able to track their histories," said Scannapieco.

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope is exploring the structure of molecular clouds. It is also exploring the chemistry of molecular clouds, which depends on the history of the gas modeled in the simulations. New measurements like these will inform our understanding of star formation.

Road trip around Western Europe: Amsterdam and Ghent

Made it to Amsterdam! Our trip from Brüggen only took about two hours. We parked our car on the outskirts and bought tram tickets to go to the city centre. Weather’s really nice and sunny and this made the city even more vibrant. This will be the second time I’m visiting this city. The first one was wintertime and I think I like it more during the summer.

It’s already three in the afternoon and we were really hungry by the time we made it to the city so we don’t really care at that point where we eat. We ended up having some Japanese food. Afterwards we started walking around. Our first destination ended up being the Anne Frank House. However, all the tickets at the time were sold out so we just took photos by the famous door outside.

This lovely weather calls for some ice cream! We also went on a little boat cruise. Sipping wine whilst floating around Amsterdam’s canals and listening to a bit of history. We have walked so much and our feet are exhausted! We ended up having a late dinner as well at an Italian restaurant — Casa di David. Very charming restaurant but a little too forgettable for me.

Our second and final day in Amsterdam started a bit late too. We just had breakfast in our hotel and then went off cycling to the city centre. Because our time’s very limited we didn’t go in the museum anymore. Although we passed by it and stayed for a while on the park nearby. I remember we even lounged there with our canned beers.

We hopped back into our car and drove for hours before finally arriving in Belgium and to the city of Ghent. We got there already quite late in the evening at nearly sunset, 9pm. Checked in to our hotel and decided to cycle to the city centre. This trip has been filled with a lot of cycling! Beautiful evening lights! I remember it turned out to be too chilly and windy outside but the city was so peaceful. We had dinner at what is probably a bar because not many restaurants were still open at the time. Good thing about that was I got to try my very first Dutch beer.

The following day -- our first and only day in this Belgian city, which involved… a lot of walking yet again. There’s so much to see but we had very little time! However, at that point our exhaustion was already getting back at us so we ended up leaving the hotel a bit late but because it’s summertime the days are longer so we still had plenty of time to roam around. Our first destination in the city was St Bavo’s Cathedral and it is beautiful.

However, if not equally or even more stunning is the other church of Sint-Niklaaskerk. There are actually five churches in this city and they’re all close to each other!

Of course we couldn’t leave Ghent without trying their Belgian fries! We didn’t have any itinerary at all so we just walked around and explored the city — discovered the Graffitistraatje, or simply the graffiti street. By the afternoon we were already so tired we just sat down in a café (or a pub) drinking coffee and beers watching people on boats pass by.

Finally, our day here has ended but what a simple yet beautiful way to say good bye to Belgium but to eat some Belgian waffles! We’re now off to travel to our next destination: Paris, France! I’m writing this now five years after we’ve been here and it’s amazing how certain feelings and memories come back when you look into photos.
