Nuclear fusion ignition: Big laboratory breakthrough

The target chamber at the National Ignition Facility of the Lawrence Livermore Lab is “where the magic happens,” these scientists said. Image via Jason Laurea/Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The ability to harness fusion – the energy source of our sun and all stars – would be a game-changer for earthly power generation. Scientists have been seeking this holy grail of energy research for a century. On August 8, 2021, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California said they’ve made breakthroughs that place them at the threshold of fusion ignition. Their experiment focused laser light from LLNL’s National Ignition Facility – the size of three football fields – onto a target the size of a BB. The experiment produced a hotspot the… Source link

Season 12, Episodes 1 and 2

ArcherImage: FX “Identity Crisis,” season 12, episode 1 Archer is old. It’s not a novel observation. As an animated sitcom, the series has been on the air (on FX, and then FXX) for 12 years now, suffering right alongside its title character as he’s gotten shot, stabbed, en-coma-fied, etc. across a decade-plus of adventures. Over that period, the series has flirted, maybe more than any other show of its era, with trying to find some radical new direction for itself, whether via the three-season genre jaunt heralded by that aforementioned coma—an effort that often veered wildly between “stunt,” and a genuine effort to expand the series’ storytelling—or slightly more subtle shifts, like the “Well, we’re all coke dealers living in a mansion together now” action of… Source link

Opinion | Ted Konnerth: Wages, cost of living both contribute to housing dilemma

It was love at first sight for me. Over 30 years ago, I made my first visit to Summit County and knew I had found my nirvana. At that time, I was slowly grinding my way up in a corporation and had neither the time nor capital to invest in a place of my own in Colorado. But I knew it was just a matter of time. I spent years bringing my family to the mountains over Christmas and spring break periods, surrounded by the throngs of other visitors. I learned how to ski and eventually tried playing golf at altitude, and I was hooked on mountain living. For several years, I relied on my Denver friends who had friends in the mountains willing to loan out their condos during ski season. I learned that if you were in Denver, you probably had a contact or two to give you a free… Source link

On Lou Mathews’s “Shaky Town”

“TO BE ALIVE is to be vulnerable,” wrote Madeleine L’Engle, and few American cities exemplify this as poetically as Los Angeles — or Shaky Town, as the city is dubbed in Lou Mathews’s new novel by that name — a place erected on fault lines, where the very ground beneath you is subject to unpredictable furies. But natural disasters aren’t the only source of vulnerability for the characters in Mathews’s novel. This is 1980s East L.A., a place rife with gang conflicts, cultural clashes, and religious malfeasance, a barrio where even the street signs point to trouble (Salsipuedes Street, translated from Spanish, means Get out if you can!). The novel is made up of a series of interlocking stories — a peripheral character in one story may become the focus of the next — as… Source link

By Tom Rivers, Editor Posted 22 August 2021 at 8:37 am Photos by Tom Rivers ALBION – The Who Dats performed the final concert Thursday for Albion’s summer concert series by the Erie Canal.  The band includes lead singer Lonnie Froman, John Borello on guitar (in back), Alona Kuhns on guitar (in back in white shorts), Ed Hilfiker on guitar and Alex DeSmit on drums.

Other bands that performed included Jonesie and the Cruisers, Cold Fusion Arts and The Trellis Cooper Band. The Village of Albion organized the concerts, which included funding from the Genesee-Orleans Regional Arts Council. Lonnie… Source link

Roundup: Henri … And More

===================================================== While Westporters frantically prepared for Hurricane Henri yesterday — stocking up on water and batteries, pumping gas and creating huge traffic messes from the Post Road to (inexplicably) Cross Highway and Easton Road — a rainbow appeared over Compo Beach. (Photo/Allen Bemus) Hopefully it was a good omen. Henri — downgraded now to a tropical storm, but still dangerous — veered sharply eastward. It now appears headed for landfall in Rhode Island. Our fingers are crossed for our many Ocean State friends. Heavy rains could still head our way. Winds might not be as high as originally thought. But they may be. And storm surges — especially around high tide at noon, during a full moon — could be dangerous. We’re not… Source link

As the runs get harder though, players will need the best kits to beat the endless shades and tough bosses. Many builds are viable, and roguelikes thrive off… Source link
