In a moving portrait of resilience, Alex Holmes chronicles the unprecedented journey of 24-year-old Tracy Edwards and the first all-female sailing crew to enter the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race.

Outside of Synapse, Nvidia Experience will be the most helpful to gamers with its useful suite of utilities, including Battery Boost, Whisper Mode and Shadow Play.

For decades in industry, the cleaning of rust, dirt, old paint and various contaminants off surfaces has frequently presented a major challenge. Cleaning of this type has previously been done manually; or via processes such as sand- or shot-blasting, or with the use of high-pressure water jetting (hydro-blasting).

As for religion, it is important to remember that up until 200 years ago even scientists would be fiercely religious (to a level we mostly only see in certain monotheistic religions today) and regularly intermingle science and faith. It wasn’t a contradiction for them. So given how the age of Enlightenment (and Reformation beforehand) severely changed Christianity, it is not at all unrealistic to assume the near-extinction level event of WW3 and then First Contact could alter the planet’s view of religion more than anything in the past few centuries. You know what is unrealistic? When they try to pass off humans of the 23rd or even 24th century as exactly like 20th century humans to make them “more relatable”. Just compare 18th century humans to 21st century ones and you know that is ridiculous. That they tried in this episode to show a plausible evolution of thought for once by contrasting the crew with a society that is very close to ours (in time), and thus, to us the viewers, is certainly commendable.

Chicago is experiencing the transitional period between a disruption in the polar vortex and the arrival of frigid arctic air, according to Max Vido, a meteorologist with AccuWeather in Pennsylvania.

Only read the thread title, but does this mean they’re flirting with SPACE 1999 s1 stuff? I read a book on the show that explained that season actually has an arc and makes sense if you watch the eps in the right order (something I never knew while spending decades making fun of it.) Where I lived the ARKADIA ep was like the 4th run, not the season-ender.

Philipona 2004 made surface-based measurements of DLR using Eppley PIR devices, between 1998 and 2002. He claimed success. I point out the accuracy of the instrumentation, which does not support his findings.

This is because the surface of an asteroid is “weathered” over millions of years by cosmic rays, ultraviolet light and X-rays from the sun.

An explosion at the Kilauea summit caused an ash plume of between 7,000-10,000 feet and tradewinds blowing southwest dropped trace amounts of ash in Ka‘u communities Pahala, Naalehu and Ocean View Estates.

A celebration of one woman’s mission to document the everyday, as she carves a place for herself in the precious world of miniatures. 

Commuters braves the wind and snow in frigid weather, Wednesday, Jan. 30, 2019, in Cincinnati.

In July 1968, Cornelius Simmons Jr., Richmond’s only full-time bridge tender, made some repairs on the old Ninth Street Bridge. The rickety wood and metal span was nearly a century old and required frequent maintenance, such as chiseling out wood that smoldered after motorists tossed cigarette butts from car windows – in the summer of 1966, there were more than 100 fires. The bridge was replaced in 1972.
