in case you didn’t think our healthcare system could be any more demonic:
“Although VAWA is widely believed to guarantee the provision of rape kits without cost-sharing for all, there are many gaps which may leave a survivor subject to out-of-pocket costs. These include a limited availability of rape kits, lack of clarity on coverage policies for non-SANE providers offering rape kits, as well as varying definitions of what services are included in rape kits between states, and unclear processes if a hospital or an insurer charges out of pocket costs (Figure 2).
Our analysis included identified episodes in which an adult women received a sexual violence diagnosis and either a STI test or exam procedure code typical of a rape kit (such as tissue examination or salvia swab), at an outpatient clinic, emergency room or urgent care clinic.
Eighty-three percent of women presenting under these circumstances and receiving an initial sexual violence diagnosis incurred out-of-pocket costs. On average, women facing out-of-pocket expenses in one of these cases faced $466 in cost-sharing, with half of women spending more than $226 dollars for all outpatient services.”

my spreadsheet (public version)
so i have this spreadsheet that i use for prompts for this fandom, comprised of several prompt lists and the exact order of which is not easily publicly available. if you want to send me a prompt, send me a ship and a number between 1-725 (subject to change) and receive a sort of mystery box surprise of a fic. through the use of this list, you can see what prompts have already been done. if it’s for another ship, you can certainly send me the same prompt that was already used in another fic. if a prompt has been used three times, that prompt will be closed. thank you for your cooperation <3 listing under the cut!
possible progress statuses: prompted, in progress, editing, posted. if a prompt does not have one of these statuses, it has not been sent in thus far.

Verse: SHADOW GUARD (Halo)
Yoruichi is a SPARTAN-IV. Yoruichi was an ODST. Yoruichi was a Phase 2 SPARTAN-I. Yoruichi was an ONI operative. Yoruichi was a Phase 1 SPARTAN-I. Yoruichi was on the Odyssey when it arrived at Reach. Yoruichi was born before the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine was invented.
Yoruichi is the closest thing to biologically immortal that humanity has yet created.
Yoruichi is an ONI Rear Admiral.
Timeline
"That's all well and good, Doctor, but I'm almost as old as the M319, and just like with it, you still haven't come up with something more experienced than me." —Yoruichi Shihōin to Dr. Catherine Halsey
C indicates chronological age, A indicates apparent age, but note that neither is perceptual age from Yoruichi's point of view. (She's spent a lot of time in cryosleep in addition to having a dramatically reduced aging factor.)
2271 - (C-000, A-000): Yoruichi is born to the Shihōin family, which is highly influential within the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), particularly Section Three
2286 - (C-015, A-015): Yoruichi is accepted to the Academy at Mare Nubium (Luna OCS Academy), becoming the youngest person to have ever attended the school (followed by Miranda Keyes at 16 in 2541)
2290 - (C-019, A-019): Yoruichi graduates from the Luna OCS Academy and joins ONI Section One
2291 - (C-020, A-020): Yoruichi receives her first illicit prototype longevity enhancement prior to first assignments in outer Solar System requiring cryosleep
2321 - (C-050, A-023): Yoruichi enrolls in Project KYKLOS given family connections in Section Three; the only successful test subject and survivor of the program, she is extensively studied as the basis for future research; it's established that her genetic makeup (due in part to Shihōin illicit modifications both past and present) have made her uniquely predisposed to accepting augmentation; this research is hidden from official records by the family to cover up their complicity, directly causing the long interval until the ORION Project is undertaken
2330 - (C-059, A-023): Yoruichi is released from the continuing study program for use as a "novel" ONI asset under the auspices of Section One sub-unit Chi-9 Division, which essentially consists of her and token support staff
2361 - (C-090, A-024): Yoruichi is planted within the Colonial Military Authority (CMA) to monitor the colonization efforts of the Colonial Administration Authority (CAA); she is aboard the CAA Odyssey during its maiden voyage to Reach
2437 - (C-166, A-025): Yoruichi is first contacted by The Assembly, which is aware of her existence and recognizes her as "unique" among humans; she is not aware of their true nature for some time
2490 - (C-219, A-026): Yoruichi serves as the prototype for the ORION Project of modifications as colonial rebellions spiral beyond the CMA's ability to control; this data is subsequently passed to the CMA by ONI
2497 - (C-226, A-026): Yoruichi is attached to the rising Orbital Drop Shock Troopers to provide her actions with greater cover and opacity
2548 - (C-277, A-027): Yoruichi is brought in for research related to the genesis of the SPARTAN-IV Program, Project ORCHID
2553 - (C-282, A-027): Yoruichi is fully enhanced to SPARTAN-IV specifications and is thereby inserted into Spartan Operations
Details
Name: Yoruichi Shihōin (Yoruichi Shihouin) Allegiance: United Earth Government, United Nations Space Command, UNSC Naval Command (NAVCOM), Office of Naval Intelligence, Section One, Chi-9 Division Rank: Rear Admiral (O-7) Service Branch: Spartan Operations Role: Fireteam Leader (Fireteam Tiger) Nicknames: [CLASSIFIED] Armor: Upgraded (GEN3) Mark V [B]
Helmet: ODST - HUL[3]/BNR/COURIER PEARL - CNM/BNR/TYPHON - UA/Type C1
Visor: Helljumper
Armor Coating: Cinder Ring
Chest: UA/ODST
Shoulders: SAP/CQC
Gloves: Challenger
Wrist: TAC/MC5 TACPAD
Utility: M10 Tactical Soft Case
Knees: UA/Type GND
Yoruichi has served through half a dozen total personnel rotations at ONI and assumed hundreds of identities over her nigh three centuries of existence. Even her own staff don't know who Chi-9 Actual really is, as her record isn't just dipped in ink, but has been refabricated a dozen times over. The only consistent thing for the last good long while has been her rank. Ironically, she serves in Spartan Operations under her birth name—if anyone happens to know some trivia about Luna OCS Academy, she claims with a smile to have been named in honor of an ancestor.

Understanding Different Math Tutoring Programs: Which One is Right for You?
Tumblr media
Choosing the right math tutoring program can significantly impact a student's academic success, whether they're struggling with basic arithmetic or advanced calculus. With various options available, it’s essential to understand the different types of programs to find the best fit. Here’s a breakdown of the most common math tutoring programs and how they can cater to diverse learning needs.
1. One-on-One Tutoring
One-on-one tutoring offers personalized attention and customized lesson plans tailored to individual learning styles and needs. This format is ideal for students who may require extra support in specific areas, such as algebra or geometry. Math tutors can provide targeted assistance, making it easier for students to grasp complex concepts and build confidence. If you’re looking for effective and personalized math tutoring, consider local math tutors or services like Smartee Spots.
2. Group Tutoring Sessions
Group tutoring can be a cost-effective option, allowing students to learn collaboratively. In these settings, students can benefit from peer interactions and discussions, which often enhance understanding. Group sessions are particularly useful for subjects like math, where problem-solving techniques can be shared and discussed. This format is ideal for students who thrive in social settings and can motivate each other.
3. Online Math Tutoring
With the rise of technology, online math tutoring has become increasingly popular. This format allows students to access resources from anywhere, making it convenient for those with busy schedules. Online math tutors often use interactive tools and platforms to facilitate learning, providing flexibility without compromising quality. Many students find that online math tutoring services can effectively address their needs, whether for homework help or test preparation.
4. Specialized Math Programs
Some tutoring services offer specialized programs focusing on specific math areas, such as SAT/ACT prep, advanced calculus, or elementary math skills development. These programs are designed to target particular goals, helping students improve their performance in key areas. Whether you’re looking for test preparation or enrichment, specialized math tutoring programs can provide the focused attention needed to achieve those goals.
5. Math Enrichment Programs
For students looking to excel beyond the standard curriculum, math enrichment programs provide advanced challenges and opportunities to explore math concepts in-depth. These programs are great for gifted students who need stimulation beyond what they receive in their regular classes. Enrichment opportunities can range from competitions to specialized classes that delve into topics like mathematics theory or applied mathematics.
In conclusion, understanding the different math tutoring programs available can help students and parents make informed decisions. Whether opting for personalized one-on-one tutoring or engaging in group sessions, the right program can foster a love for math and significantly improve skills.

Florida Lawmakers Want to Pave Roads , With Radioactive Material. Lawmakers in Florida want Gov. Ron DeSantis to sign a bill allowing roads in the state to include phosphogypsum. . Phosphogypsum is a radioactive waste material produced by the fertilizer industry. HB 1191 would direct the Florida Transportation Department to conduct , "demonstration projects using phosphogypsum in road construction aggregate material to determine its feasibility as a paving material.". If approved, the waste material would become a pavement aggregate, just as stone, gravel and sand are used. The EPA reports that "phosphogypsum contains appreciable quantities of uranium and its decay products, such as radium-226.". It "is more radioactive than the original phosphate rock" that is used to produce phosphoric acid for fertilizer, according to the agency. Florida alone accounts for approximately 80 percent of the current capacity, making it the world's largest phosphate producing area, Via EPA.gov. Critics, who say phosphogypsum would contaminate the water and increase road crews' cancer risks, are urging DeSantis to veto HB 1191.

Physiological Evaluation of Chemical Protective Suit Systems (CPSS) in Hot Conditions.
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics.   Vol. 10, Issue 3.  (2004)  215-226.
 Raija Ilmarinen, Harri Lindholm, Kari Koivistoinen & Petteri Helistén
Abstract:    This job-related experiment investigated physiological strain in subjects wearing impermeable chemical protective suit systems (CPSSs) weighing about 28 kg. Two types of CPSSs were studied: the self-contained breathing apparatus was carried either inside or outside the suit. Eight healthy and physically fit male firefighter instructors aged 32 to 45 years volunteered for the study. The test drill, performed at a dry, windless temperature of 40C, was divided into 2 consecutive work sessions of 14.5 min (a 20-min rest between) including typical operational work tasks. Considerable thermal and maximal cardiovascular strain and intense subjective discomfort measured in the firefighters emphasize the need to limit working time in hot conditions to only 10–12 min while wearing CPSSs. The present results indicate that the exceptionally heavy physical load and psychological stress during operations in chemical emergencies must be considered in the assessment of the cardiovascular capacity of ageing firefighters using CPSSs.
Chemical Protective Suit System (CPSS):
The CPSS consisted of standard test clothing (pants, cotton underwear with long sleeves and legs, a polyester fleece sweat shirt and trousers, a wool underhood, wool socks, cotton undergloves), a helmet, and an impermeable CPS.  Two types of CPSs were studied: for Suit A, the SCBA was carried outside the CPS; for Suit B, the SCBA was worn inside. The material of both CPSs was butyl rubber. Suit A weighted 5.5 kg, and Suit B 7.8 kg. . . The total weight of the protective gear averaged 25.5 kg for the Suit A system, and 27 kg for the Suit B system.
The test protocol was developed to simulate work tasks encountered in an actual chemical accident. . . The drill, performed in a climatic chamber controlled at a temperature of 40C, an Relative Humidity of 30%, and with no air movement, was divided into two consecutive work sessions of 14.5 minutes. There was a 20-min passive rest period at termperature of 20–22C in between each session for drinking and body cooling (partly doffing the CPS for ventilation), and changing the SCBA tank. . . 
Heart rate (HR) was recorded once a minute. Rectal temperature was continuously measured with a flexible thermistor probe at a depth of 10 cm and, correspondingly, skin temperatures were measured at the neck, scapula, hand, and shin, and registered once a minute. . .  Sweat loss was determined with the weight change in a clothed subject before and after the exercise, and corrected with water intake and the sweat absorbed into the test clothing. . . 
WORK DRILL TASKS
1.   5 minutes of walking on a treadmill, 5 km/hr, 1° grade
2.    2 minutes of ascending and descending stairs (height of footstep 27 cm) at one's own speed
3.    2 minutes of carrying a 35-kg can on a treadmill, 3.5 km/hr, 1° grade
4.   2 min of scooping sand to a height of 1.5 m, at one's own speed
RESULTS     (Excerpts)
3.1. Work Performance.    All of the subjects completed all the drills.   However, 50% had symptoms (headache, dizziness, cessation of sweating) reflecting thermoregulatory failure.
3.2.1. Pulmonary ventilation.     For most subjects, the ventilation rate for the second work session was significantly higher than for the first work session. The air container of 40% of the subjects was completely empty at the end of both work sessions. This means that in a real accident, the subjects would not have had any chance of returning safely from the hazard area.

The author of this story in Rolling Stone, Justin Nobel, is writing a book about oil-and-gas radioactivity.
Background: “Brine ” is a naturally occurring waste product that gushes out of America’s oil-and-gas wells. About on trillion gallons a year are extracted from these wells. It collects in tanks, and like an oil-and-gas garbage man, a disposal truck picks it up and hauls it off to treatment plants or injection wells, where it’s disposed of by being shot back into the earth. This Rolling Stone story focuses on Peter, one of the truck drivers who hauls brine from wells in southeast Ohio to disposal sites.
Excerpt:
The Earth’s crust is in fact peppered with radioactive elements that concentrate deep underground in oil-and-gas-bearing layers. This radioactivity is often pulled to the surface when oil and gas is extracted — carried largely in the brine.
Peter started quietly taking samples of the brine he hauled, filling up old antifreeze containers or soda bottles. Eventually, he packed a shed in his backyard with more than 40 samples. Through a grassroots network of Ohio activists, Peter was able to transfer 11 samples of brine to the Center for Environmental Research and Education at Duquesne University, which had them tested in a lab at the University of Pittsburgh. The results were striking.
Radium, typically the most abundant radionuclide in brine, is often measured in picocuries per liter of substance and is so dangerous it’s subject to tight restrictions even at hazardous-waste sites. The most common isotopes are radium-226 and radium-228, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission requires industrial discharges to remain below 60 for each. Four of Peter’s samples registered combined radium levels above 3,500, and one was more than 8,500.
“Breathing in this stuff and ingesting it are the worst types of exposure,” [John Stolz, Duquesne’s environmental-center director says]. “You are irradiating your tissues from the inside out.” The radioactive particles fired off by radium can be blocked by the skin, but radium readily attaches to dust, making it easy to accidentally inhale or ingest. Once inside the body, its insidious effects accumulate with each exposure. It is known as a “bone seeker” because it can be incorporated into the skeleton and cause bone cancers called sarcomas. It also decays into a series of other radioactive elements, called “daughters.” The first one for radium-226 is radon, a radioactive gas and the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. Radon has also been linked to chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Peter’s samples are just a drop in the bucket. Oil fields across the country — from the Bakken in North Dakota to the Permian in Texas — have been found to produce brine that is highly radioactive. “All oil-field workers,” says Fairlie, “are radiation workers.” But they don’t necessarily know it.
With fracking — which involves sending pressurized fluid deep underground to break up layers of shale — there is dirt and shattered rock, called drill cuttings, that can also be radioactive. But brine can be radioactive whether it comes from a fracked or conventional well; the levels vary depending on the geological formation, not drilling method. Colorado and Wyoming seem to have lower radioactive signatures, while the Marcellus shale, underlying Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and New York, has tested the highest. Radium in its brine can average around 9,300 picocuries per liter, but has been recorded as high as 28,500. “If I had a beaker of that on my desk and accidentally dropped it on the floor, they would shut the place down,” says Yuri Gorby, a microbiologist who spent 15 years studying radioactivity with the Department of Energy. “And if I dumped it down the sink, I could go to jail.”
“There is no one federal agency that specifically regulates the radioactivity brought to the surface by oil-and-gas development,” an EPA representative says. In fact, thanks to a single exemption the industry received from the EPA in 1980, the streams of waste generated at oil-and-gas wells — all of which could be radioactive and hazardous to humans — are not required to be handled as hazardous waste.

Icons, Saints&Reading: Mon. Jan., 25, 2021
Commemorated on January 12
The Holy Martyr Tatiana  ( btw 226-235 )
Tumblr media
     The Holy Martyr Tatiana was born into an illustrious Roman family – her father was thrice elected consul. He was secretly a christian and raised his daughter devoted to God and the Church. Having reached the age of maturity, Tatiana did not enter into marriage but with all her strength devoted herself to the Church. She was made deaconess in one of the Roman churches and served God, in fasting and prayer tending the sick and helping the needy. By her righteousness Tatiana gained in future to be crowned with the crown of martyrdom.      When Rome came to be ruled by the sixteen year old Alexander Severus (222‑235), all power was concentrated in the hands of the evil enemy and persecutor of christians Ulpian. Christian blood flowed like streams. Deaconess Tatiana was also arrested. When they brought her into the temple of Apollo so as to force her to offer sacrifice to the idol, the saint began praying – and suddenly there occurred an earthquake – the idol was smashed into pieces, and part of the temple collapsed and fell down on the pagan priests and many pagans. The demon inhabiting the idol ran out with an howl from that place, in front of which all saw it flying through the air like a ghost. They then began to beat the holy virgin about the eyes, but she bravely endured everything, praying for her tormentors that the Lord would open for them their spiritual eyes. And the Lord heard the prayer of His servant. The executioners came to see, that four Angels encircled the saint and fended off from the blows; they heard a Voice from the heavens addressed to the holy martyress. All of them, eight men, believed in Christ and fell on their knees to Saint Tatiana, begging them to forgive them their wrongs against her. For confessing themselves christians they were subjected to tortures and execution, receiving Baptism by blood. Saint Tatiana was again given over to tortures on another day: they uncovered her and beat her, they cut at her body with razors, and from her wounds then there permeated a fragrance in the air. The torturers became exhausted and said, that someone invisible was beating at them with iron staffs, and nine of them fell dead. They then threw the saint in prison, where she prayed all night and with the Angels sang praise to the Lord. A new morning began, and they again took Saint Tatiana to the court. The torturers beheld with astonishment that after such terrible torments she appeared completely healthy and even more radiant and beautiful than before. They began to urge her to offer sacrifice to the goddess Diana. The saint seemed to appear agreeable, and they took her to the heathen temple. Saint Tatiana made the sign of the cross and began to pray – and suddenly there sounded a crash of deafening thunder, and lightning struck the idol, the sacrificial offerings and the pagan priests. They again fiercely tortured the martyress, and at night they again threw her in prison, and again there appeared Angels and healed her wounds. On the following day they took Saint Tatiana to the circus and let loose at her an hungry lion; the beast did not touch the saint but only lay meekly at her feet. They wanted to pen up the lion back in its cage, and here instead it clawed up one of the torturers. They threw Tatiana into a fire, but the fire did not harm the martyress. The pagans, thinking that she was a sorceress, cut her hair to deprive her of magical powers, and locked her up in the temple of Zeus. But it was impossible to take away the power of God. On the third day pagan priests came with an encircling throng, preparing to offer sacrifice. Opening the temple, they beheld the idol thrown down into the dust and the holy martyress Tatiana joyously invoking the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ. All the instruments of torture were worn out, and they carried out a sentence of death: the valiant sufferer was beheaded with a sword. Also executed as a christian together with her was her father, for having shewn her the true faith of Christ.

“Akathist" Icon of the Mother of God
Tumblr media
     The "Akafistnaya / Akathist" Icon of the Mother of God is located in the Khilendaria cathedral iconostasis. It received the designation "Akathist" because, during a fire at the cathedral in 1837 an akathist was read before it, and it remained unharmed – to the solace of the monk
The "Mlekopitatel'nitsa" ("Milk-bearing")
Tumblr media
     The "Mlekopitatel'nitsa" ("Milk-bearing") Icon of the mother of God was at first located at the Lavra of the Monk Sava the Sanctified near Jerusalem. The holy founder of the Lavra at his death foretold that a pilgrim Sava from Serbia would visit the Lavra, and gave orders to pass on to him as a blessing the wonderworking icon. This occurred in the XIII Century. Sainted Sava of Serbia took the icon to Khilendaria on Holy Mount Athos and put it on the right side of the iconostas in the church in front of the Kareia cells, afterwards named Typikarnitsa, since the Ustav of Sainted Sava was preserved there.

Mark 8:11-21
11Then the Pharisees came out and began to dispute with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, testing Him. 12 But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation." 13 And He left them, and getting into the boat again, departed to the other side. 14 Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, and they did not have more than one loaf with them in the boat. 15 Then He charged them, saying, "Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod."16 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, "It is because we have no bread." 17 But Jesus, being aware of it, said to them, "Why do you reason because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive nor understand? Is your heart still hardened? 18 Having eyes, do you not see? And having ears, do you not hear? And do you not remember? 19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments did you take up? They said to Him, "Twelve." 20 Also, when I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of fragments did you take up? And they said, "Seven."21 So He said to them, "How is it you do not understand?"
Hebrews 8:7-13
7For if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. 8 Because finding fault with them, He says: "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah- 9 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they did not continue in My covenant, and I disregarded them, says the LORD. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more. 13 In that He says, "A new covenant," He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Identity crisis for fossil beetle helps rewrite beetle family tree

Identity crisis for fossil beetle helps rewrite beetle family tree
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Images and measurements of the fossil beetle that revealed it was a different kind of beetle than originally thought. Credit: Martin Fikáček et al.
More
There are more different kinds of beetle than just about any other kind of animal—scientists have described about 5,800 different species of mammals, compared with nearly 400,000 species of beetles. Of those 400,000 kinds of beetles, more than 64,000 species are members of the rove beetle family, staphylinidae. These mostly small earwig-looking insects are found all over the world, and they’ve been around since the time of the dinosaurs. But scientists are still figuring out exactly when rove beetles first evolved. A new study in Systematic Entomology suggests that the fossil beetle species believed to be the oldest rove beetle isn’t a rove beetle at all, meaning the beetle family tree needs a rewrite.
The beetle at the center of this mix-up, about the size of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s nose on the U.S. dime, is Leehermania prorova. When the fossils of Leehermania were first discovered in the 1990s along the Virginia and North Carolina border, they were believed to be the oldest rove beetles ever discovered—by about 50 million years.
Until 2012, the only public information on the fossils was two images, published in 1996 and 2005, but no formal description. Anyone who didn’t have direct access to the fossils of the species could only make guesses about its placement in the tree of life based on those photos.
So, when a formal description of the beetle was finally published, beetle scientists around the world were excited to read it.
“When Leehermania was formally described, and more photos came out, we thought to ourselves ‘that doesn’t look quite right for a staphylinid,'” says Margaret Thayer, a scientist at the Field Museum in Chicago and one of the paper’s nine authors. It didn’t look like the rove beetles that Thayer has spent her career studying.
“I happened to be at the museum when I first read the paper, so I went and looked through the specimens in our collection to compare,” said Alfred Newton, also a Field Museum scientist and paper author. His hunch was that this beetle might be more closely related to Hydroscaphidae, a living family of miniature insects known as skiff beetles, placed in a different suborder from rove beetles.
Across the Atlantic, Martin Fikáček recalled a similar feeling upon comparing the description and photos with the classification of Leehermania as a staphylinid. To Fikáček, a scientist at the National Museum in Prague, the beetle seemed to be a closer fit in the Myxophaga—the suborder that contains skiff beetles. Scientist Chenyang Cai at China’s Nanjing Institute of Geology and Paleontology and several other authors came to the same conclusion.
One of the clues that Leehermania wasn’t really a staphylinid was its mandibles—the pincer-like jaws. “staphylinids all have exposed mandibles, from at least some angle,” says Newton. “In Leehermania, what were originally interpreted as mandibles are actually maxillary palpi—a different mouthpart structure entirely. The mandibles aren’t exposed here at all, at least from what we can see.”
Another hallmark of staphylinid beetles is their somewhat club-shaped antennae, which start with a narrow base and get wider toward the tip. In Leehermania, the antennae were club-shaped, but the club was more narrowed toward the tip.
Given the hidden mandibles, distinct antennal shape, and other features, including “paratergites”—little plates on the sides of most staphylinid abdomens that are absent in Leehermania—and the shape of the female insects’ genitalia, something wasn’t adding up. Leehermania seemed to be a much better fit in the suborder Myxophaga than in staphylinidae.
Thanks to the power of the internet, the scientists were able to collaborate freely and quickly across four continents. “The international collaboration that occurred here was really important to the success of the study,” said Shûhei Yamamoto, a Field Museum scientist and paper author who studies staphylinidae and other beetles.
As the group’s hunch turned to a theory, then a study, then a formal analysis, the tests they ran showed Leehermania fitting nicely as a member of the beetle suborder Myxophaga, likely as a sister to the ancestors of today’s skiff beetles. This discovery means that the rove beetle family isn’t yet documented to be as old as scientists thought, but the skiff beetle family is now way older—Leehermania lived 226 million years ago, 100 million years before the next oldest fossil skiff beetle known.
Misclassification of extinct species happens all the time in science, for a variety of reasons.
For one, fossils can be extremely difficult to decipher. Since compression fossils like Leehermania are trapped in a sheet of rock, there is often only one viewing angle, though two in this case: a bird’s-eye-view called “dorsal,” or the top surface, and the “lateral” or side view. Any information about the species has to be gathered from these limited perspectives, so some information on colors, textures, patterns, anatomical details, and of course life-cycle information may be impossible to retrieve. Analysis is even more challenging when your specimens are only 2-3 mm long.
Lack of comparative data also causes problems for researchers. Not only are many characteristics of the insects lost in fossils, but until 2011, the large amount of data used here to test Leehermania‘s placement in different families didn’t exist.
“Our analysis made use of a huge data set of morphological characters of beetles gathered for the ‘Beetle Tree of Life’ [BToL] project,” says Thayer. “That project was really crucial to our analysis and provided a framework upon which we were able to analyze Leehermania.” Four authors of the new paper, including Thayer and Newton, were among the authors of the published version of the BToL morphology paper. DNA-based analyses published by the BtoL project and other researchers were also essential to the Leehermania analyses.
Testing and revising the placement of living things in the tree of life is like working on a huge sudoku puzzle with contributors from all over the world. You have methods to figure out where the numbers should go, but if they’re incorrectly placed, you only know—eventually— based on their relationships to the surrounding numbers. If you carry on with the puzzle for too long with an incorrect placement, numbers filled in after the fact might also be incorrect. Revisiting Leehermania‘s classification was important to help other researchers avoid using the fossils incorrectly to date analyses of beetles as a whole or identify other beetles as staphylinids based on Leehermania.
For the staphylinid family, losing their oldest ancestor produces new questions about how the family evolved.
“The re-classification of Leehermania means that staphylinids are now 50 million years younger than we thought,” says Fikáček. “But if staphylinids are so much younger, that means that this family evolved into many lineages much more rapidly than we thought they did.” Of course, older staphylinidae fossils are likely to turn up in the future and new analyses will be needed.
At a time in the Earth’s history when life was still recovering after a mass extinction, the appearance of Leehermania and staphylinidae is a testament to how resilient and adaptable beetles can be to diverse, and often harsh, living conditions.
“Throughout history, beetles have survived conditions that other animals have not,” says Fikáček. “As we study these insects, we might reveal some secret to evolutionary success that beetles possess.”

BNHA Endgame Theory - The Demise of Shigaraki (MAJOR manga spoilers)
*cracks all 30 knuckles* Time for Another Theory!!! A Serious Post This Time!!!!!!
Please be aware there are heavy manga spoilers underneath. I’m just That Bitch. 
I’m trying to tie together the Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory with the final arc of BNHA, in which they will have to fight Shigaraki. 
It’s in Chapter 166 (during the Remedial Course Arc) that we are introduced to a concept that I think is very important: Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory. As the children are playing and demonstrating an increasing amount of control and power over their quirks compared to previous generations, Shishikura Seiji explains the theory of how overtly complex and therefore uncontrollable quirks will arise due to continuous (implied as biologically unchecked) blending and evolution of quirks. 
Tumblr media
Though one could simply have brushed this off as “man, another day of Seiji being his emo self again,” I think that the manga hints at the fact that this theory will potentially become reality. In one of the more recent villain arc, we are introduced to the Meta Liberation Army, whose end focus is to allow people free reign over their quirks without legal restrictions. In the current BNHA world, those that use quirks are of two types of people: heroes and villains. (Vigilantes could be argued as a third category, but technically they are still villains or those that use their quirk with government permission, and social consequences could be argued either way.) 
In some ways, the Meta Liberation Army had no choice but to incorporate the League of Villains as their whole purpose/former actions have been an on-crack version of what the MLA wants: freedom. Freedom in using their quirk, whether it be for amusement or violence or pleasure. Freedom to tear down what they don’t understand or don’t like. Freedom to do whatever their little psychopathic, traumatized hearts desire. 
Within the fight between the LoV and the MLA, we see that mental, emotional, and physical strain triggered quirk evolutions in our favorite villains (Toga in ch.226, Shigaraki in ch.227/ch.234, Twice in ch.229), which highlights how rapidly quirk evolution can occur, within one’s lifetime. This doesn’t bode well for the timeline for in which the Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory becomes a reality (sooner than later). 
(later edit/thought: maybe the only quirk evolution that Shigaraki has is in chapter 234 and not the first, but since this post is long AS FUCK I’ll probably post some other thing analyzing his “original” decay quirk)

Now, jumping ahead to the more previous chapters, we see that Shigaraki is absent even though he is the main antagonist of this entire series, the Final Boss if you want. Twice even notes on it to Hawks in ch.258. Previously, we saw the actual experiment that the doctor, Maruta Shiga, was doing to Shigaraki in ch.255. 
My guess is that with Shigaraki obtaining enough power/influence by becoming the leader of the MLA (as the head of the Paranormal Liberation Army, aka the new LoV), was the last (social) step needed to reinforce his physical quirk capacity; he’s being prepped to become the next holder of All For One, or at the very least several other quirks. (I’m going to stick Shigaraki getting AFO even though I’m only convinced 50/50, but whatever this is a theory.) 
AFO is no doubt extremely powerful not just in experience but the sheer number of reinforced quirks he has that work together (because he picks and chooses which work well together). All that power will be passed onto Shigaraki who already has a quirk and is mentally unstable. I suppose neither the doctor nor Shigaraki care about the mental health aspect of receiving that much physical power, so I suppose we’ll focus solely on the physical. 
Tumblr media
So the doctor performed an incredible intense surgery that added maybe-AFO to Shigaraki’s physical body, then let him stabilize for 3 months, as that’s the timetable for making a Nomu. In some sense, I guess you could say that all the Nomu previously were but preliminary test subjects for the prime targeted subject: Shigaraki.

This perfected (tormented and sickened) version of Shigaraki will probably the most challenging adversary that the heroes have to fight yet. With a broken psyche, Shigaraki will never surrender and never give up- it’ll be a fight to the death, probably to both ends. Now, how does all this tie into Quirk Singularity Doomsday Theory?
Simple: with the overbearing insane numerous quirks, Shigaraki may be unable to control them and self-destruct during (at the near end, or BNHA won’t have much of a climax arc) his fight with Midoriya and the other heroes. After the operation, he’ll be even more unstable, physically and mentally. 
It’s actually quite fitting: In an effort to destroy the hero civilization and hero individuals, Shigaraki will be destroyed by none other than himself. There is no other way for him to die, but at the sake of his own insanity.
