An earlier version of this article misstated the number of mining dams in Brazil built like the structure that collapsed in Brumadinho. There are 87 — not 88 — mining dams in the country that are similar to the Brumadinho dam, and 27 — not 28 — are estimated to sit above cities or towns.

The partnership marks the latest international deal following the launch of Facebook Watch globally in August, including a partnership with MTV Studios to bring a re-imagined, local versions of “The Real World” to the US, Mexico and Thailand.

Enterprise also confirmed religion was still part of Earth culture. I think by the 23rd and definitely the 24th century it would have faded a lot but I’m sure there are still pockets where religion is practiced even by Picard’s time.

Any gripes about the 570’s slightly effete styling are well and truly quashed. But if you want to turn your $242,500 LT into something like the car we have here, prepare to dig deeper. Riding shotgun on the trip to Wales, photographer Richard Pardon called out the options fitted to our car. They are so extensive, we were nearly at the border by the time he finished: Elite paint ($4320); Bowers & Wilkins stereo ($4290); carbon fiber trim, roof, and racing seats (four packages totaling a whopping $50,540); and hydraulics to lift the nose ($1560). To save you the math, options on this car bring the retail price to more than $320,000. A base 720S costs $288,845. Suddenly the baby McLaren is looking all grown-up.

“When discussing what he has learned from Spock, Pike paraphrases Spock from Star Trek VI, saying “Logic was the beginning of the picture and not the end.””

However, the USDA announced Tuesday that WIC would continue to operate through February, thanks to "prior year funding which USDA will begin to provide states this week." 

❝We now understand the process of radiative transfer and how our human greenhouse emissions are changing the earth’s climate.❞

“You can even have ice mixed in and then as it heats up you can have an explosion as it turns to gas,” she says.

Anyone else notice the reference to the Alexander Courage theme for the Talosians during the scene in which Michael was in Spock’s quarters?

Yep. Silly tech like that… Tech that creates something from nothing work in the comic book world, but not so much in Star Trek. Those helmets literally came out of nowhere. That material HAS to exist on the suit somewhere… Is there some sort of mass decreasing device attached? Such tech looks cool, sure, but it did take me out of the scene.

Many people today are focused on water reservoirs that sit right atop magma chambers, seeping through cracks and pores in the rock and sucking away the magma’s heat. Such water is likely to be supercritical, and supercritical fluids can carry far more energy than liquid or gas, said Elders. In theory, a supercritical geothermal well should produce about 10 times as much energy as a traditional one.  The IDDP consortium members were searching for supercritical water when they drilled at Krafla in 2009. Their measurements indicated that a large magma chamber lay about three miles belowground, with a supercritical reservoir right above it.

“Here’s to never growing up,” Lavigne sang five years ago on her last studio album. “Here’s to just trying to stay alive,” she basically sings on this year’s comeback single, which details a low moment in her struggle with Lyme disease when she had “accepted death.” Lavigne is not quite the same artist we left back in 2013: She’s trading Hot Topic for flowing Galadriel gowns, spiky guitars for pianos and strings — could she make it any more obvious? Yet her dispatch from a dark spot is as just arresting as her drunk-on-whatever misadventures, and her lyrics about turning to God in a time of crisis have made “Head Above Water” the unlikely center of the Sk8er-girlz-and-Christian-radio Venn diagram. – NOLAN FEENEY
