Dr. King never said Barcade or Burn down a Schools, or the USA Flag because of segregation , why do you all think you can do that at your universities for Palestine?

[evergreenforevermore]

Can I just say how STUPID "elite" and "prestigious" colleges are?? You have to break your back in every academic area, even ones that have NOTHING to do what interests you, and then pay thousands of dollars??? People who scoff on community or state colleges are the most privileged assholes, how disgusting it is to say some colleges arent "good enough", when youre lucky enough to go to a college no matter your background is such a privelaged sooo many people would die for their children to have. College is college. Everyone should be able to get an education, all these requirements are stupid and privileged, especially because SOME PEOPLE JUST ARENT GOOD AT EVERYTHING???? Take your stupid elitist views and shove it up your ass. Just because someone doesnt have a 4.999999999 gpa and a millionaire extracurriculars doesnt mean theyre less than. Maybe they just have responsibilities? Maybe they struggle in some areas, maybe their homelife is bad, maybe they work to help their family? It doesnt mean theyre stupid or not good for a stuffy college some white man made with a million tests and hoops of fire to ensure that only rich white elit assholes with around the clock tutors get in, because ultimately its not about learning right, its about the money, its always been about the money. God forbid someone wants to learn and improve their life even if they're not a genius.

Super-Jupiter from the Great Bear

The scientists behind the discovery are from the Nicolaus Copernicus Univeristy Institute of Astronomy: dr habil. Gracjan Maciejewski, NCU Prof., prof. dr habil. Andrzej Niedzielski, prof. dr habil. Krzysztof Goździewski and a fifth-year astronomy student, Julia Sierzputowska. In collaboration with researchers from Spain and the United States, including Prof. Aleksander Wolszczan, they described the cosmic finding in the prestigious scientific journal "Astronomy & Astrophysics".

An inconspicuous star with a massive planet

We are dealing with an extremely massive exoplanet - as much as eleven times the mass of Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System. It orbits its parent star in 14 years, and is six astronomical units away from it (the astronomical unit [a.u.] is a conventional measure of distance used in astronomy, the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. It is 149,597,870.7 km. For example: The Moon is 0.026 a.u. from the Earth, while Jupiter is 5.2 a.u. from the Sun).

- We cannot see a planet, but we can spot the star around which it orbits - with a small telescope as small as 10 cm. The star's physical parameters are similar to those of the Sun. The data indicate that it is 20 percent more massive and twice as large as the Sun. Interestingly, it has already completed the stage of evolution that the Sun is currently in; it has a backyard '5 billion years behind it. We can therefore estimate that this is also the age of the entire planetary system,' explains dr habil. Gracjan Maciejewski, NCU Prof., leader of the research group from the NCU Institute of Astronomy. - It is located on the northern side of the sky in the Great Bear constellation and bears the designation HD 118203, because it was first listed in Henry Draper's stellar catalogue under this number. The telescope used to make the observations for this catalogue more than a century ago is now located in our observatory in Piwnice, near Torun.

The Draper telescope is one of the world's first astrographs, or photographic recorders of celestial sphere phenomena. It was built in 1891 as a 'memorial' to the prematurely deceased American spectroscopic physicist Henry Draper, with which his wife Anna Maria supported the Harvard Observatory's ambitious programme, led by Edward C. Pickering, to develop a catalogue of photographic and photovisual brightnesses of stars and their spectral classification. More than 60,000 photometric and spectral images of the sky were taken with this telescope in Cambridge, and it contributed so much to Pickering's intention that the compiled inventory containing almost a quarter of a million stars was called the Henry Draper catalogue. The 'HD' star designations are still used today and are familiar to all astronomers around the world.

How did Draper's astrograph find its way to Piwnice? In autumn 1947, the construction of the first observatory pavilion of the NCU Astronomical Observatory with a rotating dome of five metres in diameter began. Two years later, an astrograph sent from Cambridge stood there and, after the necessary adaptations, began regular observational work.

Today this interesting monument, unique in the world, has become an attraction for visitors to the NCU Institute of Astronomy in Piwnice. 

Patience pays off

For nearly 20 years, astronomers have known that the star HD 118203 orbits a fairly massive planet. In 2006, the first gas giant was discovered, with a mass of two Jupiter masses, orbiting the star in a tight orbit in just six days.

Doppler observations, however, indicated that this was not the end of the story, that there might be another planet out there. Therefore, we immediately included this system in our observational programmes,' says Prof. Andrzej Niedzielski, co-author of the discovery. – At first, as part of the Torun-Pennsylvania exoplanet research programme, conducted in collaboration with Professor Aleksander Wolszczan, we tracked the object with one of the largest optical instruments on Earth, the nine-metre Hobby-Eberly Telescope in Texas.

The results were so promising that the Torunians, with collaborators from Spain, continued observations of the star in the Canary Islands, using the Italian Galileo telescope. This observatory was equipped with the best instrumentation designed to discover planets.

- However, eight years of research have not provided an answer as to what type of an object it is, ' adds Prof. Niedzielski.

It took another seven years for astronomers in Torun to obtain indisputable evidence that they were dealing with a planet.

Patience pays off,' says Prof. Maciejewski. - The new observations collected in March 2023 proved crucial in determining the planet's orbital parameters. Moreover, because it takes a planet several years to orbit its star, we were able to combine our Doppler observations with available astrometric measurements to unambiguously determine its mass. This allowed us to build a complete model of this planetary system and study its dynamical behaviour.   

Before that, however, it was necessary to make sure that there were no more planets hiding in the system. This task was undertaken by Julia Sierzputowska, a student of astronomy.

I analysed photometric observations obtained with the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite space telescope, showing that there were no other planets around HD 118203 larger than twice the size of Earth, and therefore not massive enough to be relevant for studying the dynamics of the system.  

Planetary tandem

It turned out that the astronomers had discovered a hierarchical planetary system.

It is a peculiar configuration in which one planet forms a tight pair with its star, and a second planet orbits the pair in an orbit wide enough to, as it were, form another pair with the first one,' explains Prof. Krzysztof Goździewski, who conducted detailed numerical studies of the system's dynamics.

Both planets are massive and orbit in rather elongated orbits. Despite this, their mutual gravitational influence does not destabilise the system on a scale of millions of years.

- We have shown that this is due to effects arising from the general theory of relativity. If it were not for these effects, the planets would behave like jittery springs, constantly changing the shape of their orbits and their orientation in space,' adds Prof. Goździewski.

Cosmic answers

Astronomers admit that knowledge of the formation and evolution of planetary systems still hides many fundamental unknowns. Hierarchical systems like HD 118203, of which only a dozen are known, allow them to probe hypotheses for the formation of massive planets.

An interesting question is about the paths of development of such planetary configurations,' says Prof. Maciejewski. - Although from our point of view - inhabitants of the Solar System - they are quite 'exotic', learning about systems with massive gaseous planets seems important so that we can get to know our nearest, 'astronomical backyard'.

- Our work does not end. We are still conducting observations and analysing data - there are chances for further planetary discoveries,' says Prof Niedzielski. - It is gratifying that we manage to involve students and doctoral students in this interesting and important research.

"Just get it over with" does not come with guarantees

“Just get it over with” does not come with guarantees

This past Wednesday morning health and biology research scientists joined National Public Radio reporter Rob Stein for an interesting discussion on the Omicron variant, its explosive ability to spread, and what that might mean going forward. I am adding emphasis to part of the interview that really stuck with me, as so much of the public’s “get it over with” attitude has pervaded the approach to…

[devillain]

Since its been a while, here are some quick things to know about my portrayal of Carlos. I will link the longer headcanon these are all connected to of course.

First, here is my headcanon tag, second, here is my official canon divergence, and third, here is the tl;dr version.

Carlos gives Dude to Gil at the end of D3, he keeps his cat Beelzebub, and in college he gains Laurie and Frieda two dalmatians one who is a service dog. ( x , x )

Auradon is a dystopia, and the true horrors of the isle and how some citizens are handled are hidden from the general public. ( x , x )

Carlos does not know who his dad is, but his dad is Edgar Balthazar, which makes him and Eddie Balthazar cousins. ( x )

Diego and Carlos are kinda close but not really. Horace and Jasper’s kids are friends by association for Carlos. ( x , x )

Carlos has schizophrenia, among other things. ( x , x )

He learned to swim from Uma and the pirates for various reasons. ( x )

Carlos is very calm and collected, but through trial and error the Core 4 learned to not make him angry. He is not afraid to stand up for himself in the slightest. ( x )

Carlos is not as adjusted to Auradon as everyone thinks he is. His obedience and such comes a from a very dark place, and should not be mistaken for “goodness.” ( x )

Carlos is very smart, and loves science most of all having memorized the periodic table when he was a child. ( x )

Carlos altered his medical records in Auradon to hide alot of his mental health and physical problems. ( x )

Carlos’ actual birthday is October 1, his friends joked about it being then cause 10/1. Turns out his actual birthdate is that. When he finds out he guards the truth because he will never live it down then. ( x )

Carlos has dog like behaviors that he does that he knows about, and some he is unaware of, from years of being treated as a dog by Cruella. Additionally, his fear of dogs is not alleviated just because he becomes Dude’s owner. ( x )

Carlos cannot see the visual effects of magic like pixie dust, and such. He does not feel or react to it in the same way others do. For example, the gold that makes the bridge in D1 he cannot see. ( x )

Carlos is the one who built and helped customize the motorbikes the Core 4 have in d3. ( x )

Carlos is the only VK who had a parent find their talisman, and he had to face off with Cruella. ( x )

Carlos learned to fight from the pirates. He strongly favors ROAR to tourney. He joined the team before Jay did. Additionally when he goes off to college one of his scholarships is for ROAR. ( x , x )

Carlos taught himself almost all the basics of learning, and was sent to school a few years late, and placed in the wrong grade initially. ( x ) On the topic of wrong grades, you can find this portion of this tid bit in my canon divergence, Auradon has a rule on you have to be a certain age to be a senior and graduate. Carlos had to fight to be allowed to graduate with the Core 4, he was not allowed to walk across the stage but he was valedictorian. He got an academic and sports scholarship to Camelot Univeristy, Auradon’s Oxford/Cambridge/Harvard/Yale equivalent.

The actual de Vil estate is in Auradon, a replica is on the Isle, that replica is Hell Hall. The de Vil estate is a historic marker, and technically belongs to Carlos, just like all the de Vil cars in the museum. ( x , x )

Why do you all think that a tik toker, college student or any random individual from the western hemisphere have more information about Israel or Palestine than nay ex terrist ACTUAL citizen of either place, or any ex military personnel??!?!

why?

you people marching think you know more cuz you GOOGLED IT?

YEA CUZ ARTICLES NEVER LEID BEFORE?!!?

no one listen to the Israel students, no one listened to the Gaza students and other ex muslims who left the path because if its oppressive behavior, no one listened to ex soldiers or even military soldier show did more than vacation for a week in the Middle East and lIVE amount the Israel people.

you all are trying to cinder a nation and their faith based on......????!?!

and you know hat REALL ironic all of you are self hating , nation hating, communists and socialists who hate the world and want o burn it down instead of changing it for the better , that you all say that you down have a right to speak for individuals if you not from that particular group and yet.... you saw to condemn a whole nation for something that want even TRUE.

long before Israel even began to respond.....

you all jumped ship to name them.

how ironic. and now that we KNOW the truth of what happened of How Hamas holds its citizens hostage and dont evacuate their cities and use women and children as human shield too Make it LOOK like a massacre.

but you deafen your ears.....why!??!

why do you Americans , westerns even because you spread your venom in Europe too, think you HAVE a right to SOEAK FOR ISRAEL, JEWS, ECT??!?!?

you all are hypocrites. ABSOLUTE HYPOCRITES.

why don't y'all march to raise minimum wage to 500/hr.

OOC. Vanessa backstory time! NOTE: Everything written underneath will be CANON on this blog only. I am not a Daredevil writer ( No matter how much I think I should be. )

Taking a lot of inspiration by this fic here, written by the great and talented @golden-d -- Vanessa’s backstory plays out a little like this:

          Vanessa Guilia Marianna was born on August 28th to Alessandro Marianna and his lovely wife, Leah Cohen in Israel. Heir to the Italian Art-Dealing fortune, Vanessa grew up around beauty and prestige-- Alessandro maintained his own criminal empire by way of moving from place to place, distributors evenly picked and splattered across the Mediterranean. Her mother, a fine art collector and scholar.

          A childhood filled with moving and travelling, Vanessa has never really known a home. Sometimes they stay in places longer than others. Upon one of their visits to Rome, Vanessa asks her father to teach her to learn how to shot, this is where her affinity for guns begins. From her mother she was taught grace, beauty and the Arts. A wonderful painter, Leah managed to capture landscapes better than any camera ever could.

          Moving to New York when she was nineteen, she commenced her bachelor’s degree at Harvard Univeristy. She has helped her father moved more than his fair share of illegally owned art pieces-- stealing them from every source he could find, from N*zi “previously owned” properties to the most prestigious of museums and even from investors private collections. Leah and Alessandro had a loving and tender marriage where Vanessa’s glamorous mother worshiped the ground her dangerous husband walked on, as well as Alessandro drowning his beautiful wife in every one of her heart’s desires. 

          Vanessa grew in a loving home, with an affinity to the darker, less then legal trade. Wealth seemed like a constant companion but it never minded her much, only using it for studies and a few desired trinkets here and there. Vanessa grew up with the attending the craft; intimidation tactics, learning how to read people, the right points in the body to make sure someone sleeps and never wakes up. Although she has never used them herself, she is more than equipped. She was once nicknamed Principessa di ghiaccio among her father’s men.  

           Vanessa is not above using her wits and charm to get what she wants, it what her parents have taught her and it is what they would have wanted. For Vanessa to build an empire at her feet, and ever the romantics they were, for her to find someone who loved and worshiped her as much as her parents did each other.

How the U.S. is driving away foreign talent and what happens when American companies miss out

Foreign talent is critical to the success of American companies. But the barriers to hiring skilled foreigners are rising: increased bureaucratic scrutiny and new regulations make it harder to bring workers into the country, and hostile anti-immigrant rhetoric pushes talented foreigners away. Bill speaks to Envoy Global CEO Dick Burke about the challenges companies across the country face and how Envoy helps them navigate the complex immigration environment to meet their talent needs.
