What makes black holes grow and new stars form? Machine learning helps solve the mystery - Technology Org

When they are active, supermassive black holes play a crucial role in galaxies’ evolution. Until now, growth was thought to be triggered by the violent collision of two galaxies followed by their merger. However, new research led by the University of Bath suggests galaxy mergers alone are not enough to fuel a black hole—a reservoir of cold gas at the centre of the host galaxy is also needed.

The new study, published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society is believed to be the first to use machine learning to classify galaxy mergers with the specific aim of exploring the relationship between galaxy mergers, supermassive black-hole accretion and star formation. Until now, mergers were classified (often incorrectly) through human observation alone.

“When humans look for galaxy mergers, they don’t always know what they are looking at and they use a lot of intuition to decide if a merger has happened,” said Mathilda Avirett-Mackenzie, PhD student in the Department of Physics at the University of Bath and first author on the research paper. The study was a collaboration between partners from BiD4BEST (Big Data Applications for Black Hole Evolution Studies), whose Innovative Training Network provides doctorial training in the formation of supermassive black holes.

She added: “By training a machine to classify mergers, you get a much more truthful reading of what galaxies are actually doing.”

Supermassive black holes

Supermassive black holes are found in the centre of all massive galaxies (to give a sense of scale, the Milky Way, with around 200 billion stars, is only a medium-sized galaxy). These supersized black holes typically weigh between millions and billions of times the mass of our sun.

Through most of their lives, these black holes are quiescent, sitting quietly while matter orbits around them, and having little impact on the galaxy as a whole. But for brief phases in their lives (brief only on an astronomical scale, and most likely lasting millions to hundreds of millions of years), they use gravitation forces to draw large amounts of gas towards them (an event known as accretion), resulting in a bright disk that can outshine the entire galaxy.

It’s these short phases of activity that are most important for galaxy evolution, as the massive amounts of energy released through accretion can impact how stars form in galaxies. For good reason then, establishing what causes a galaxy to move between its two states – quiescent and star-forming – is one of the greatest challenges in astrophysics.

“Determining the role of supermassive black holes in galaxy evolution is crucial in our studies of the universe,” said Ms Avirett-Mackenzie.

Human inspection vs machine learning

For decades, theoretical models have suggested black holes grow when galaxies merge. However, astrophysicists studying the connection between galaxy mergers and black-hole growth over many years have been challenging these models with a simple question: How do we reliably identify mergers of galaxies?

Visual inspection has been the most commonly used method. Human classifiers – either experts or members of the public – observe galaxies and identify high asymmetries or long tidal tails (thin, elongated regions of stars and interstellar gas that extend into space), both of which are associated with galaxy mergers.

However, this observational method is both time-consuming and unreliable, as it’s easy for humans to make mistakes in their classifications. As a result, merger studies often yield contradictory results.

For the new Bath-led study, the researchers set themselves the challenge of improving the way mergers are classified by studying the connection between black-hole growth and galaxy evolution through the use of artificial intelligence.

Inspired by the human brain

They trained a neural network (a subset of machine learning inspired by the human brain and mimicking the way biological neurons signal to one another) on simulated galaxy mergers, then applied this model to galaxies observed in the cosmos.

By doing so, they were able to identify mergers without human biases and study the connection between galaxy mergers and black-hole growth. They showed that the neural network outperforms human classifiers in identifying mergers, and in fact, human classifiers tend to mistake regular galaxies for mergers.

Applying this new methodology, the researchers were able to show that mergers are not strongly associated with black-hole growth. Merger signatures are equally common in galaxies with and without accreting supermassive black holes.

Using an extremely large sample of approximately 8,000 accreting black-hole systems – which allowed the team to study the question in much more detail – it was found that mergers led to black-hole growth only in a very specific type of galaxies: star-forming galaxies containing significant amounts of cold gas.

This shows that galaxy mergers alone are not enough to fuel black holes: large amounts of cold gas must also be present to allow the black hole to grow.

Ms Avirett-Mackenzie said: “For galaxies to form stars, they must contain cold gas clouds that are able to collapse into stars. Highly energetic processes like supermassive black-hole accretion heats this gas up, either rendering it too energetic to collapse or blowing it out of the galaxy.”

She added: “On a clear night, you can just about spot this process happening in real time with the Orion Nebula – a large, star-forming region in our galaxy and the closest of its kind to Earth – where you can see some stars that were formed recently and others that are still forming.”

Dr Carolin Villforth, senior lecturer in the Department of Physics and Ms Avirett-Mackenzie’s supervisor at Bath, said: “Until now, everyone was studying mergers the same way – through visual classification. With this method, when using expert classifiers that can spot more subtle features, we were only able to look at a couple of hundred galaxies, no more.

“Using machine learning instead opens up an entirely new and very exciting field where you can analyse thousands of galaxies at a time. You get consistent results over really large samples, and at any given moment, you can look at many different properties of a black hole.”

💙  🧡  💚

They're up in the tunnels, lying on their back on exposed tweenstone while the opals glitter in the walls above them. It's dead dark in here. She's got decent night vision and Martyn probably does too. Glowing eyes do help with that. She's got dirt coating most of her body. Martyn's patting more into place and really going off on a long-winded spiel. Yeah, he does that. Cleo rests with one hand on her stomach and lets him talk. Martyn just wants someone to talk to and she just wants to touch the loamy black soil outside the perimeter. They have to do this together or not at all.

"-enough foreshadowing, d'you think?" Martyn makes a vague swirl with his hand. "I mean, when I look at the storyboards, it seems a little bathtub-y, but I wanted to have fun with it. I think I can swing it- It's better to have fun."

"Mmhm," she says. "I mean, if you want to avoid info-dumping, tension's always going to be the best fix. The first thing I think of is just… Adding weapons. Or maybe slide the scene somewhere else, like a cliff. Or maybe you have a build or private room the viewers have never seen inside before, so it feels exciting even if it's full of talking."

"There's a thought!"

"Or- or, here's an idea- Give them a solid reason they can't actually leave. It doesn't even have to be physical restraints, right? Maybe one character has an item the other wants. Maybe it's just information. Or someone's hurt? You have that whole treasure-hunting schtick going on, right? Adding a collectible to the mix could amp the stakes."

"Oh, that's good. I like that… Withholding information is killer, dude."

"Not too much, though."

"No, no! It'll be clear well before the end. Hmm. Maybe it just needs a pacing restructure. A little more to draw things out, yeah? I might slip in an extra scene upfront that doesn't look important at the time, but should really tie things together down the road." He sprinkles dirt around her neck, making some stupid drawn-out show of it just because it gets his wings up, apparently. Cleo sticks out their tongue. He laughs, giving the wings a flap. "Ooh, actually- You know that respawn idea I had last Friday? What are your Week 2 thoughts on that?"

"Kill your darlings. Not the character- I mean the scene. Just opt for a near-death experience instead. I think the punch will hit harder."

"What hits harder than a respawn?"

Cleo shrugs, which waterfalls black dirt down their shoulders and across Martyn's skinned knees. "I mean, delays don't do you any good. You'll have dead space anyway because of all that travel time to get back to the main scene. Remember your Limited Life ending with the lava buckets? Just work around it. Set it up so you can stay around, even if you're injured. Respawns feel like cheating anyway- I mean, they refresh you back to full energy. It's a little cheap."

Martyn exhales. It leaves him like a swirl. "Hmm… Yeah, I can see that."

"Just think about it, at least. You don't have to throw the scene out."

"Yeah, I know. I do see your point. Spawn is so far away." He takes the spilled dirt and pats it into place again, pressing on the wrinkles until the stuff is sealed against her like a freshly frosted chocolate cake. "The thing is, I feel like I'm getting nowhere with the storyboards. I think I need to get into the dialogue. Maybe do some test drafts. A few bullet points, at least. I'll run them by you again next week and we can do a pros and cons list."

"Mmhm!"

That seems to satisfy him. See, Martyn likes to talk through plot points without spilling spoilers to the people he actually roleplays with. And he's always hungry. These are the two most important facts you need to know about Martyn, at least as far as Cleo and the gemstone cave are concerned. See, so long as they only allofeed him snippets at a time, he'll patiently wait until she's run out of souls to share before he finally takes her out. Even when she's well down in the depths of phantom hour, he'll let her push the boundary. Maybe farther than he should. Throw a soul in front of a phantom and you'll really wreck their aggro.

It's a balance of carrots and sticks. It's yin and yang. It's push and pull. Teamwork is essential. She never would've managed to carve out this secret cave without Martyn's wings lifting her past the bullet path moat or into the ceiling tunnel. Scott can poke around all he wants, but unless he thinks to look up, he's never going to find her hideaway.

The thing is, Martyn can whisk his help away any time he likes. At any time. He didn't withdraw when Double Life split them apart, though Cleo firmly told him chatting about Double Life was off the table the first time he opened his mouth. The third time, maybe. Sure, he whined and groveled about roleplay decompression for a bit (for "the" bit?), but she gave him a cornflower from her hair that he can keep in Between to match the one she gave him on the server. That's all the "We're okay; it's just a game" aftercare he really wanted. He eased up.

He never wore it, though, even though it was the start of the 100-day block back then, which is… confusing. She dropped by his and Jimmy's place once for a game night though, and there it was… in a vase. And honestly, it doesn't get any more clear than that: Thanks for the gift! Your friendship's important to me, but I reject your courtship. I'll keep it as a memento to show there's nothing weird between us, but I'm not wearing this. I don't want you to get the wrong idea.

Martyn's full of wrong ideas. He does what he thinks is "funny." That's the polite way to put it. And since hanging out with Martyn in the caves is really just a business transaction, she should probably make an effort to be polite.

"What's so funny?" he asks, looking up from her dirt-covered arm.

"Bad joke."

"Share or it didn't happen."

Cleo blinks up, his form in shadow apart from the lapis-like glow of his eyes. "I gave you a flower a while back. During Double Life."

"Yeah?"

"You never wore it, but I saw it in your room. Just thought it was funny to interpret that as you saying 'I don't want Cleo to get the wrong idea' when you're full of wrong-"

"Whoa, whoa," he says, throwing his hands in the air. Cleo snorts and Martyn tsk-tsks, thwacking his tail against the dirt. "And this when I'm putting dirt on you."

"I do appreciate that, yeah."

He slaps the next clump down hard. Cleo jolts, but the glitter in his eyes tells them straight away that he's not really mad. "I can't believe that's what you think of me even in your private thoughts. And after all this time!"

"I'm petty, rude, and I commit to the bit. I'm not sure why you're surprised."

"I'm not."

I’ve had this idea for a vs question for at most a minute as I’m writing this sentence, but I don’t care: I’m asking it.

An army of 12500 Elemental Commanders vs the Inter Galactic Defense Force of canon (excluding anyone above Super Taro’s level): what would an all-out war between these two groups look like?

Anyway, for some background, the Elemental Commanders are a specific type of Q56 Ultras, a race of Ultras from the “Elemental War Universe” in my fanfics. For comparison, the Commanders are basically what the Mutants from Marvel’s X-Men are to humans: the result of a genetic mutation. 

Anyway, I’ve sent you a doc with links to a few other docs for this one: you’ll need… at the very least, most of them. 

I say most of them because one of those docs is a list of Elements that exist in my fanfics, which I figured was necessary because the Elemental Commanders (and Q56 Ultras in general) can have literally any one of those Elemental Powers as their innate power, which affects their powers a fair amount, so I figured understanding those could help. That said, it might also not be necessary, so use that doc as a reference only if you need to, I suppose.

Last thing, in regards to the trivia on another one of those docs, it’s definitely important info, for reasons I’m sure you’ll understand.

Your proposed 1 scs = 2.5 GW conversion would kinda be inconsistent with scaling tho

Recall Ultraman's own Specium Ray has a stated potency of ~0.373 GW

By calculation, this means that Super Taro's version of Specium Ray (which implies he has access to via Ginga Storium) is 1.5 × 10^15 ÷ 10 000 (highball Ultraman, cause lowball of 1000 wouldnt help your case) = 10^11 x stronger than the Specium Ray, much less the Cosmo Miracle Ray which is MUCH stronger since its a combination of all the UB's finishers amped to the level of Super Taro AND combined together. So your section where the calculation of the Cosmo Miracle Ray is only ~150 000x stronger than the Specium Ray is already an incorrect premise, so I'll just ignore this part

Ngl yr question is very difficult to answer since there's still unknown variables on both sides here.

One from your OC, we don't know how most of the stated Elemental powers would have an effect on certain canon ultras, cause we know that Ultras like Taro and Ace can simply absorb certain elements to empower themselves like Ace did with thunder etc. Like can said ultras do the same with Plasma or the hypothetical "Chaos"? Not to mention we dk how physically strong they are compared to canon ultras

On the other hand, I presume you're referring to the entire canon IGDF from the LoL, which has a stated 1 billion members which we don't know the proportion of the Ultras which are New Gen level, UB or even above are

To sidestep these issues, we can approach this question from another angle, with math:

Cause to put it in perspective, the M78 Ultras we've seen from New Gen to UB level, clearly only represents the lower scales of power of the IGDF force. Assuming Ken is the peak of the IGDF at 10^48 NG, and u stated that u wanna exclude forces at Super Taro or above, means also excluding IGDF members at 10^15 NG (lowball Super Taro to be 10^15 NG for easy math as youll see later) and above

Putting the peaks of the 2 sides in comparison first, consider an IGDF Ultra that is infinitely near the stated limit of Super Taro being at 0.99999...×10^14 vs 1 Elemental commander that is 30x the standard member. With 1 standard member having the base power of 15 000 sps (assuming equal stats whereby listed attack potency scales with the other attributes/no glass cannon assumption), which gives the power of 1 Elemental commander of 450 000 sps or 1 125 000 GW

Considering canon Ultraman's Specium Beam only has a potency of ~0.3 GW, this makes an Elemental commander 3.75 x 10^6 x stronger than Ultraman. Using the proposed IGDF member being at 0.9999....×10^14 NG, compared with Ultraman at 10 000 NG (highball, because lowball wouldnt make a difference in the ending result) gives a power difference of 0.999...10^10 the power difference of the proposed IGDF member and Ultraman

This gives a power difference between the IGDF member and an Elemental commander around the magnitude of 10^8 x. This means that even with your supposed limit, the strongest IGDF member is 10^8 times stronger than an Elemental commander.

Against 12 500 commanders, this means a combined power of 4.7 x 10^10 NG

This gives a power difference between the proposed IGDF member and the entire battalion of ~10 000x. Which means the IGDF member alone is 10 000x stronger than the entire battalion combined

The only way for the battalion to win is to fire a combined finisher or fuse, but this would also allow ultras on the canon side to do so as well and we don't even know how many of the proposed IGDF member the LoL has in canon. Not to mention that facing an Fusion Ultra whose components are already around 0.9999...×10^14 NG is unfathomably scary in and of itself

To put the proposed member in yet another perspective, recall the M78 Power Proportionality Constant of 1000x power growth every 10 000 years, an M78 Ultra with the power level of around 10^14 NG would be around the age of ~50 000 years old (Recall Ken himself is 160 000 years old and the next closest known M78 canon age is Zoffy of 25 000 years old) so even an ultra of this level wouldnt even be near the midway point of the powerscale for M78 Ultras as an M78 Ultra of 80 000 years old would be 10^9 x stronger than the proposed IGDF Ultra

Thanks for the question!

Alright, this one question, I believe there wasn't any similar in the list, but its one I saw a while ago in a video and I have been deeply thinking of BUT I am curious to see what your answer would be as well for your own.

The question is: What would your character have to experience to turn into the worst version of themselves? What would make them go nuclear?

🤔

I had to let this one sit for a bit, simply because I couldn't decide on which character(s) to cover for this...

I figured I'd settle with my faves, though: Sal and Nat. 🤍 🖤

(Also, this one ended up being a bit longer, so... there's the usual "read more" section to spare everyone from the wall of text looming below. Menacingly.) 😆

Anyway...! So, to begin... as much as I love Sal, I would say her "worst" isn't too terribly remarkable by comparison to some other characters I have. She's pretty steadfast when it comes to keeping herself together nowadays, despite everything. Although, the use of "go nuclear" is very apt for an Ethereal... hahaha! She's totally had some nuclear moments in the past that might be worth mentioning, though! Back when she wasn't as conditioned to it and responsible with it.

(Etherealism is a volatile thing; those who lack experience with it and don't know how to keep their cool can easily let the heat get to them. I mean that both metaphorically and physically, by the way! 😅 Between the effects of the heat, the adrenaline rush and the increased heart rate, they can have episodes of panic, rage, euphoria and other wild sensations when those energy levels surge. It's some crazy stuff. Crazy stuff I need to break down in the "Ethereals" section one day, when my brain decides to cooperate with me in the "writing words" department...)

I will admit, she once pursued vengeance. It didn't end well, meaning she's far less likely to ever pursue it again, BUT... depending on how cruel some aspect of the cosmos decided to be with her, she very well could have another go at it. That could be the worst side of her. 🤔

TL;DR/Summary: Sal's worst could be wanting revenge if someone had a go at those close to her; characters such as Chaku, Tsuniah (and others I could list the names of, but... nobody knows who they are except me. Haha!) ✖ Spoilers: her previous bout of vengeance was brought on from the loss of her entire team back in the agency days.

And yes, you do have the usual Ethereal woes of generally being dangerous around other living things, but I don't really consider that "worst." It might make Sal feel like a monster sometimes, but I'd beg to argue that's some of Sal's best, honestly. To be mindful enough to strive to coexist with others and try her best to respect her limits as well as theirs. That's stellar Sal behavior. 🌠

Now, as for a character that has perhaps a more interesting brand (or two) of "worst version," it would be Nat! She has the potential to have some really awful episodes and is far more capable of doing things out of spite and revenge without being pushed as far as Sal. Sometimes, just being a bad bitch can be such a rush too. 😆

I know I talk about her being a masochist most of the time, but she definitely has a sadistic side! That part of her is especially amped up whenever she and Sven do a bit of that good ol' merging.

(Merging is something Familiars are capable of doing with their partners - where they can come together and form one entity/possess their partner. In most cases, one participant tends to be a little more dominant than the other, so it's almost like being possessed for a short while. Nat happens to be the more dominant participant, in this case! Usually.)

It's basically like Nat has a full blown demonic possession mode and the rush of it can bring out so much crazy Nat behavior. Sometimes, it just turns her into a monster and everyone has to pray Sven's able to take hold of her again or separate from her ASAP whenever that happens! 😅

(Which, if you're wondering then "why the heck would Sven enable that kind of behavior if he knew it would likely do more harm than good?" Because there are situations where their lives may be on the line and, though dangerous, merging is their best bet. Familiars and their partners' lives are interconnected all pact style; if one dies, so does the other. By that logic, they're safer as one stronger unit than two weaker units.)

TL;DR/Summary: Natty definitely has a few options when it comes to her worst. Revenge, sadism, outright insanity. Take your pick. Hahaha!

These things can be brought on by standard cruelties of the world (losing a loved one, betrayal, etc.) ✖ Spoilers: there's a period of time where Nat enters a full blown "there will be hell to pay" phase after Leo's death. She's an even hotter mess than usual for that part of the story...

And things like "bad bitch behavior" and going all demonic possession mode can be a bit spooky, given how petty and unpredictable they can be! 🔪

Dancing Ghosts: Curved Jets from Active Galaxies Image Credit: Jayanne English & Ray Norris, EMU-ASKAP, DES; Text: Jayanne English (U. Manitoba)

Explanation: Why would galaxies emit jets that look like ghosts? And furthermore, why do they appear to be dancing? The curled and fluffy jets from the supermassive black holes at the centers of two host galaxies (top center and lower left) are unlike anything seen before. They were found by astronomers using the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) radio telescope when creating maps tracing the evolution of galaxies. Images preceding this Evolutionary Map of the Universe survey only showed amorphous blobs. Eventually, comparisons of relative amounts of energy emitted revealed the glowing elongated structures were created by electrons streaming around magnetic field lines. Overlaying the radio data on an optical view of the sky (Dark Energy Survey) confirmed that the electron streams originated from the centers of active galaxies. Usually such Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) produce straight jets. A leading hypothesis for the geometric origin of these unusually graceful shapes involves the flow of large-scale intergalactic winds.

Growing — Diptych (Silver Current Records)

Diptych by GROWING

Joe DeNardo and Kevin Doria have been spinning out epics of their self-described “big amp ambient” since the early oughts. Diptych, released via Silver Current Records, is their first full length since 2017, and follows a few deep, delicious tracks which quietly appeared on their Bandcamp page during last year's pandemic daze. 

The album is split into two tracks of roughly equal length: the 22-minute opener, “Variable Speeds” and 20-minute flip, “Down + Distance.” The group’s tools of choice are guitars and electronics, although in most instances those signifiers end up bearing little meaning. The clouds of hiss and hum, the accompanying crackles and shivers, are instrument-less in their sound, transcending strings, pedals and dials.

“Variable Speeds” begins placidly, with layers of sustained notes piled like pastry and joined, in time, by percolating hints of melody and cosmos-warping bass plunges. As it builds, the track is overtaken by a dense, vibrating drone which heaves forward at maximum volume, receding in the final minutes in a way which makes the underlying shimmer glow like dampened grass following a thunderstorm. As the track ends, the layers fall fully away, revealing a final, solo buzz of amp-hum. 

“Down + Distance” begins similarly, following a puddling progression of rich notes which — although likely created with guitars — ring like someone taped the keys down on the world’s largest pipe organ. Eventually, a series of rawer waves pass like super-slow-mo windmill guitar strums. About six minutes in, all falls away rather abruptly, leaving a single elongated tone which soon twists and grows into a billowing bottom-end rumble. This ripe, deep space voyaging encompasses the second half of the piece, before it wraps amidst a sputtering atmospheric reentry. 

One of the group’s greatest skills has always been their ability to make these high-volume power electronics sound so organic and pretty. Whereas, say, a band like Sunn O))) has mastered sound as physical object, and well understands the transportive power of drone, Growing, by comparison, make music that more directly engages with beauty — even when an accidental slip of the volume knob proves that pillows of sound can threaten one’s speakers just as acutely as knives. 

On Diptych, Growing offer their purest yet distillation of this approach. This is deep headphone music for journeys from which one may not be meant to fully return.

And also if you read this after that I recognize you're a hectic person as well.

The secret to suitable all of it in is discovering a way to obtain much better outcomes in less time. If you spend the moment, you can find means to do this in every facet of your life. Think of it, if you were able to liberate just 30 minutes a day to invest in getting in touch with loved ones, or in your intimate partnerships, or on progressing right into your dream job, or developing yourself personally or emotionally ... over a year, that will make an incredible difference to your quality of life.

Your workout is no different, so we've created the best means to boost your exercise, so you can invest more time doing all the various other points which are very important to you too.

The Litmus Test

Like most points in life, appearing is a good start, yet it's inadequate. If you don't perspire or aren't seeing outcomes, you may require to commit more to your workout. You have actually reached bring it every single time. Don't simply go with the movements thus lots of people, get concentrated, be present and bring it!

27 Tips to Enhance Your Workout

Start with a vision.

Every success starts with a vision, so if you intend to enhance your exercise, to take it to the following degree, after that you need to have a compelling vision of what you desire your life to be like when you have actually done it. This vision of exactly how you desire your wellness, vigor and also body to be is what is going to provide the emotional fuel to get you revved up for activity. You desire to spend a long time coming back to this vision on a daily basis, even if it's simply for 1 min, the fee it brings you is worth it.

Set goals.

Based on your fitness vision, what are the specific goals you have? Create them down and keep them secure due to the fact that you'll be coming back to them later on. The planning you do up-front will certainly conserve you a great deal of time down the roadway since you will not simply be undergoing the motions, you'll be headed to a destination, so you understand when you're on track or not.

Get a proven workout plan.

If you desire impressive outcomes you require to comply with a tried and tested strategy. If you turn up and simply do your very own point it's going to be hit-or-miss. Anything is better than nothing, but if you're going to make the initiative, you may too obtain the outcomes you desire from it. Following a tested workout plan secures the uncertainty, as soon as you've got it down, after that you can readjust it to make it more effective.

Get a proven nutrition plan.

The right nourishment can suggest the distinction in between ordinary outcomes to exceptional results. Like your workout: exclude the guesswork, follow a tried and tested strategy, after that change it to make it better.

Get amped up.

Before you hit your exercise, you wish to enter into the ideal mood of mind, so that you can give it your outright ideal. If you're feeling kind of 'meh' after that you need to change that: produce a little pre-workout routine which gets you right into an energized state of mind, even if it's just singing out loud to your exercise songs on your way to the fitness center. Rinse and also repeat prior to every workout.

Keep your playlist pepped.

If you don't pay attention to songs while working out then start doing it. Countless research studies have actually shown that listening to songs boosts athletic performance, see to it it's fast tempo for you exercises and you'll increase your result by up to 15%. Concentrating on the music while you're exercising also assists you enter that treasured flow state.

Bite-sized workouts.

Rather than doing marathon workouts, aim to get your exercise performed in 30 - 45 minutes. Research study has actually shown that after about 45 minutes of exercise cortisol (the hormone released in reaction to tension) boosts while growth hormonal agent as well as testosterone start to go down rapidly. Keep your exercise bite-sized to increase the results of your workout.

Hit the high intensity.

If you intend to do bite-sized workouts, then you might also intend to attempt a high-intensity interval training protocol to obtain the maximum results for the time you place in. We love the Tabata procedure, and also just like all the protocols, you can use them with toughness training and also cardio.

Be a workout assassin.

Go in, eliminate your exercise, get out. No diversions. Make your workouts concentrated, don't invest 10 minutes socializing between sets, or resting for too long, just focus and get it done. If you desire to mingle, do it when you're finished.

Kaizen.

Time to get a bit philosophical. Among the most exceptionally valuable concepts we have actually discovered is the Japanese viewpoint of Kaizen or constant, incremental enhancement. You can apply this philosophy to any location of your life including your physical fitness as well as wellness. What you concentrate on tends to occur, so by concentrating on exactly how to make small improvements to your workout you will find ways to make that happen.

Get a coach / trainer.

One of the most effective means to take your wellness as well as fitness to the next level is to employ someone who recognizes a whole lot extra regarding it than you do. Making the financial investment in an individual instructor or a dietary instructor, can be the one of the best financial investments you can make in terms of results. Also simply a couple of sessions can make a substantial difference to your performance. Simply bear in mind, you obtain what you pay for (love is cost-free though) so ensure you discover someone that has a tested track record.

Fuel your exercise and also recovery.

Your body is one of the most innovative car in the well-known cosmos, so you require to see to it you give it the right fuel as well as the right structure blocks for recuperation, and also that all boils down to your nourishment. See to it you have superior nourishment if you wish to have the best outcomes possible.

Bananas are a terrific source of energy for exercise.

Alcohol additionally affects you obtaining an excellent nights' rest adversely, which is when your body does the majority of it's repair.

Hit the protein sweet spot.

It does not matter if you're a person or a woman, you require to obtain sufficient healthy protein. Obtaining adequate healthy protein is vital for muscular tissue development and body repair, for the women, it doesn't make you big, it provides you a limited, toned body when combined with regular stamina training. Just how to calculate your daily protein needs.

Compound your workouts.

Compound workouts are the very best way to obtain the most compensate for your effort due to the fact that they target several muscular tissue groups per exercise. Rather of doing isolation exercises stick to the compounds (like squats and also deadlifts) to get the most out of your workout.

Quality not quantity.

To obtain the most out of every set you do, make certain each rep you do is a high quality rep. Make it a 5 celebrity associate by concentrating on obtaining perfect form, it's far better to do less premium associates, where you concentrate on regulated motions, than to bang out extra, yet sloppier reps.

Focus on the contraction.

One of the tricks to an effective exercise is to concentrate on the muscle mass you're using during the tightening. It might seem like it doesn't make that much of a distinction yet it truly does. Try this examination, do a problem typically and also then concentrate on getting your abdominal muscles as you relocate up, can you feel what a significant difference it makes? Now bear in mind to do that with all your exercises.

Lift heavy.

One of the keys to getting one of the most out of your toughness training is to lift the heaviest weights you can while keeping rigorous and proper form.

If you do not enjoy lifting weights then attempt bodyweight exercises like rock-climbing. Don't skip something even if it's hard, discover a method to make it enjoyable, do whatever it takes to encourage yourself.

Hydrate.

Studies have actually revealed that you do much better when you're adequately moisturized, so remember to consume water throughout the day, consisting of with your exercise (perhaps with some branch-chained amino acids). Consume 400 - 600 ml 2 hours before your exercise to guarantee that you are correctly hydrated.

The trick to toughness training is modern overload. In other words, you wish to gradually enhance the weight you lift, by a percentage, each time you work out. This is one of the reasons that it is very important to track your development: so you know how much you were raising last week!

Fail on the last set.

Force out 2 or 3 even more representatives on your last collection to make certain you really do not have anymore left in the tank. As always, remember proper form.

Hills and steps.

Running hillsides as well as steps is just one of the most effective conditioning exercises you can do.

Mars Crosses Galactic Center and Enters Capricorn

Mars Crosses Galactic Center and Enters Capricorn

By Tanaaz

On February 13-14th, Mars aligns with the Galactic Center, a supercharged, potent spot in the cosmos. The Galactic Center sits at around 27 degrees of Sagittarius and as Mars crosses this point, it undergoes an upgrade of its energy.

With this upgrade, Mars is vibing high and is preparing to leave Sagittarius, with all this new knowledge and wisdom, for the sign of Capricorn where it will remain until March 30.

Mars has not been in Capricorn since March 2018, but as it enters this earth sign in 2020, it will be joining a slew of heavyweight planets including Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto.

Mars combining with these heavyweight planets is going to amplify the energy of this earth sign and help to bring about the high vibrational shiftsthat are playing out all through the year.

As Mars, fresh off the Galactic Center moves into this busy zodiac of the sky, we may feel a need to look at how we are using our energy, the motivations behind our goals, and what fears may be holding us back or driving our decisions.

As Mars meets both Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto at various points through its journey in Capricorn, it is also going to elevate and energize their vibrations, strengthening their message.

You can read more about the significance of Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto in Capricorn and the message they are sharing here.

Mars in Capricorn is a very ambitious placement, but also a methodical one too.

We may feel ourselves needing to slow down in order to achieve our goals. We may find ourselves needing to pay attention to the smaller details before proceeding ahead.

Mars wants us to push past our fears and blocks so we can head out into the world and get things done. Capricorn however, wants us take our time and ensure the rules, laws, and natural order is followed.

Balancing these energies will be key during this time, and amazing strides can be made if we take our time and ensure we are crossing our t’s and dotting our i’s.

Mars Changing Signs Exercise 

As Mars crosses the Galactic Center and moves signs, it’s also a great time to review and assess your overall energy levels. Here’s a little exercise to help- 

1.) Write down 10 things you do on a daily basis that may zap and deplete your energy levels. If it helps you can start each item on your list with – “It’s exhausting when…”

For many, anxious or repetitive thinking, worrying about the opinions of others, indecision, and fear of making the wrong choice can all be things that deplete energy.

Lifestyle choices like our diet and exercise routine can also play a role as well.

2.) Look at your list and then make it a point to bring awareness to when you notice yourself doing these things throughout the day. You can also think of ways to replace these habits too. 

3.) If you like, you can also further open to these energies by reciting this prayer/mantra- 

“I ask to become aware of all that depletes me. I ask to be drawn to all that nourishes, nurtures, and supports my energy levels. I ask to become more mindful of the thoughts I choose to keep. Thank you.”

After repeating the mantra, pay attention to what comes up or where you feel drawn.

While we will all feel this energy, here is a short summary of the themes for your Sun sign. If you know your Rising Sign, read for that too- 

Mars in Capricorn for Your Sign

Aries

This energy will be guiding you to focus on boundaries, but not just the boundaries you need to create with others but the boundaries you need to create with yourself too. Being patient, waiting your turn, letting others lead the way, these are all things you may be called to do under this energy. While it may be frustrating to give up control, see where you can be in an open state of giving and receiving while also having healthy boundaries in place.

Taurus

This energy will be guiding you to let go of perfectionism and just “do”. If you have been holding yourself back because you don’t feel ready or out of fear, this energy may give you the push you need to take a leap of faith and give things a try. Under this energy, think about where you may be holding yourself back out of fear of not being good enough. Think about where you may be aiming for perfectionism that just isn’t attainable. Once you identify any areas, see if you can create a shift by addressing anyfeelings of shameor just by becoming aware of when they show up.

Gemini

This energy will be guiding you to look after your health and wellbeing, not just on a physical level but on a spiritual level too. Your spiritual connection is deepening and this is a time where you are really being asked to go within and listen to your inner compass. You may have lots of ideas or projects bubbling away in your mind, but it’s your heart that knows the way. As always, if you need some help deciphering what is happening within, begin writing down your thoughts and feelings till you can write no more.

Cancer

This energy will support you finding a mentor, coach, therapist, or teacher. If you are looking for any of these things, put your feelers out there during this time as you are sure to get some great leads. If you need some support, this would be a good time to speak up and reach out for help, whether it’s at home or in the office. You can’t do it all alone, and you don’t have to. This is also a time to think about balancing your needs with the needs of others in all the relationships in your life. Don’t burn the candle at both ends.

Leo

This is a great time to focus on your fitness. If you want to lose weight, gain muscle, or just be fit and healthy, this is a great time to make it a priority. This energy will be supporting any new diet or lifestyle plan you may have in mind and helping you to stick with it for the long term. While you may feel amped up under this energy, be aware of burnout or pushing yourself too hard. Be sure to listen to your body under this energy and if you need to rest, be sure to do that too.

Virgo

This energy will spice up your love life and help you to feel more passionate. Channel this energy into your work or relationships. You may find you feel more energized when you spend quality time with your partner or friends. This is also a great time to socialize and put yourself out there- you never know who you may meet. Your creative energy will also be high and you will feel unstoppable. Write all your good ideas down.

Libra

Under this energy, you may be guided to bring an end to bad habits that have been blocking your productivity or zapping your energy levels. Think about what you need to thrive throughout the day and then work on creating a schedule that mirrors that. You may also find yourself needing to have a difficult conversation with a family member or roommate, but you may wish to get your anger out first before approaching them. This energy is also great for cleaning out the clutter from those cupboards.

Scorpio

This energy will be guiding you to speak up however, tread carefully. While you may want to keep it real and say it like it is, you may have to be a little more tactful and use some of that watery energy to bring a little compassion to whatever you have to say. Don’t be hard on yourself during this time either, and if you need, bring some of that soft, compassionate energy towards yourself.

Sagittarius

This is a fantastic time for you to think about ways you can bring in extra income or perhaps add a little extra to your savings account. Open yourself to receiving as this energy can be positive for your finances. On a deeper level, this energy will guide you to release any fears you may have around your self-worth and feelings of acceptance. We all feel like we don’t belong sometimes, but you are not alone! There is a tribe out there for you, put yourself out there, be patient, and give yourself time.

Capricorn

This is a 5-star placement for you and a great time to get to work on those projects that may require a lot of your time and patience. The Universe will be giving you a boost of energy, so be sure you are open to receiving it! You may also feel drawn to take a trip, read a book, or take a course that brings about a new level of self-discovery or self-growth. This is also a time where your habits and energy levels are transforming, so make some positive new choices.

Aquarius

This energy is helping you to purge old motivations that no longer serve you. You may find yourself feeling burnt out and in need of some rest and relaxation. Allow this energy to recharge your mind, body, and soul. Be patient with the process and re-evaluate your goals and the driving force behind them. While you may feel like you are not making much progress in the physical world, Mars in Capricorn will be helping you to make progress in your inner world. The inner work you do during this time will propel you further in the future.

Pisces

This energy will be giving you added support to go after your goals and dreams. Take a moment to think about something you would like to do or create this year. Visualize it in your mind, write it down on paper, and then use this Mars energy to set the wheels into motion. In order to step into the vibration of receiving and attracting your dream, find ways to help others achieve theirs. In this flow of giving, you will receive.

Reviews 104: Singū

Growing Bin’s dominance of 2018 continues with the expansive and exploratory ambient jazz of Singū. The duo of Kiyofumi and Keita (KETA RA) Sadanaga make post-rock as Simon Reynolds originally meant the term, using guitar, drums, and electronics to build awe-inspiring maelstroms of experimental cosmic sound, every bit as mysterious and portentous as the far-out entity on the LP’s cover. They are as comfortable referencing the psychoactive guitar sprawl of mid-80s Sonic Youth as they are the interstellar journeys of John Coltrane and Rashied Ali, Don Cherry and Ed Blackwell, and Joseph Jarman and Famoudou Don Moye, with a strong spiritual connection as well to kosmische musik and those blissed out early days of Kranky Records…think Magnog, Amp, Doldrums, and Roy Montgomery. 

Singū - Siki (Growing Bin Records, 2018) “Aurora gate” comes to life as Kiyofumi’s loose jazz drumming is surrounded by balmy synthesizers. These immersive layers of sound take on vocal drone overtones and KETA RA’s dissonant guitar notes begin to rain down, eventually working their way towards triumphant and freely flowing chords. All the while, the drums become progressively wilder, crashing, thrashing, and moving back and forth from all out squall to physical whisper. The guitars and hazy synth atmospheres intertwine in captivating ways, sometimes aligning in powerful harmony, other times working against each other in a turbulent conversation. And slow motion dream sequencing enters at some point, like faded streaks of audio starlight fighting through the post-jazz ambiance while the narcotic drum work builds towards something resembling a fixed beat, everything locking in for climactic cosmic romanticism before ending on unsettling start-stops and moments of dark prog fusion with dramatic swings swelling. Then comes the short and sweet “Bop2be,” with bebop rhythms gliding towards the heart of the sun, all intoxicating cymbal play and pulsating kick drum backed by massive sub bass tones. Glistening piano runs flow through the mix, like cascading waterfalls of ivory, moving into and out of cruising leads and gorgeous tapestries of spiritual ambiance.

Our next explosive space music epic comes with “Nabegu.” A miasma of metallic clatter and alien droning backs the liquid LSD bass of Yuhei Watanabe, while cerebral oscillations and snare, cymbals, and stuttering kick emerge from the feverish fog. Strange echo effects float overhead…some sort of outer-dimensional liquid thats glows and swirls around an increasingly active and harsh drum performance led by overblown and fried cymbal work. The primitive laser oscillations grow in strength, constantly threatening to overtake the mix with brilliant sheets of white light and eventually the murky layers of electronics, drums, and Yuhei’s prog bass come together for some semblance of a jam, one built around a repeating bassline with occasional pysch-groove filigree and a smashing beat that sounds as if it could fall apart at any moment. And up in the sky, sci-fi squiggles approximate free jazz fireworks exploding into a stratosphere on fire, while the sounds of the cosmos beam in via gaseous synths. For the next track ���Fazarai,” electronics sound like windchimes covered in stardust and an aquatic percolating synth pattern pushes things out to sea. The drums crash like waves with smashing cymbals and concentrated bass drum bursts while flutey tones waft through the air like a mirage. KETA RA’s guitars swell in joyous layers of sound and the drums and starlight electronics build and build towards a violent storm, constantly increasing the contrast with the new age atmospheres growing ever more meditative and dreamy.

The weirdest and most challenging cut here is “828”, built initially around plucked bass tones in drunk timeshifting loops. Outerspace demons chatter alongside bright flashes of industrial rattling and static while underneath, atonal riffs echo to the edge of the galaxy, everything floating on some sort of dark ether that works its way into the mind and induces states of unsettling delirium. Unidentifiable sounds slide up and down some alien scale over the far-out bass flow and electronics sounding like seabirds in an otherworldly jungle drop in as shambolic electronic percussion wanders its way towards nonexistence. By the end, everything has devolved into pure abstraction, the drum pulse almost gone, leaving just psychedelic electronics sounding like coyotes sent through broken interstellar broadcast equipment. The closing piece “44” has as its foundation a repeatedly rising wash of synthesizer that sounds like the breath of the universe. We get our most straightforward drum groove yet here as Kiyofumi locks into a vibrant post-rock swing (though still with plenty of wild jazz flare). Celestial vibraphones and/or e-pianos spread through mix…euphoric, beautiful, transportive...eventually joined by echoing speech that drifts atop the soporific beatscape. The whole piece is a cycling meditation that picks up steam as it progresses, the drums still swinging but with a flashy propulsion, the ascendent synthesizer layers ever-present with their new age mesmerism, and glassy keys blurring into lustrous arcs of gentle noise.

Man made black holes are supposedly going to be produced by the Large Hadron Collider, swallowing Earth (or, at least, a large fraction of Europe), so it seems only logical that something like a warp drive — a technology of the uber-future requiring uber-energies — would also generate a black hole, right? Yes, we are talking about a vastly theoretical technology, but according to Italian researchers, the spaceship propulsion device popularized by Star Trek could have grave consequences for Planet Earth. Over the past week, I’ve been deep inside the science behind faster-than-light-speed propulsion and time travel as a part of the Discovery Space Wide Angle: Surfing Spacetime, and I feel well versed in the astounding physics that could make warp speed a possibility in the future. All this started when interviewing one of the leading authorities on warp drive propulsion, Dr Richard Obousy, who is not only upbeat about the possibilities of the futuristic warpship, he’s done the math to prove that a sufficiently advanced civilization could “surf” on a spacetime wave. However, there’s a catch. Well, two. Firstly, we need to develop an understanding for dark energy. And second, we need a gargantuan energy source. Dark energy is a cosmological theory that explains the continued expansion of the universe. This energy pervades all of the cosmos, explaining everything from the grouping of galactic clusters to the faster-than-light-speed inflationary period immediately after the Big Bang. There’s a lot of indirect observation of dark energy and its effects on spacetime. It’s out there, but it’s a tough proposition to think we might be able to harness it someday. But then again, we said that about electricity once, who knows what technological revolutions await us in the decades and centuries ahead. Assuming we find a way of harnessing dark energy, how can we use it?) https://www.google.com.au/amp/s/astroengine.com/2009/06/12/warp-drives-and-black-holes/amp/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CWVR9PKhjOh/?utm_medium=tumblr
