Around 126,000 gallons (573,000 liters) of crude oil has spilled from a ruptured pipeline off the California coast and begun washing up on beaches and wetlands, along with several dead animals. The U.S. Coast Guard reported the spill at 9 a.m. local time on Saturday (Oct. 2), after boaters noticed a sheen on the ocean surface, according to CNN. The oil slick now covers around 13 square miles (33.7 square kilometers) and has begun washing up on the shoreline between Huntington Beach and Newport Beach, causing widespread beach closures that could last for weeks or months, according to Reuters. "In a year that has been filled with incredibly challenging issues, this oil spill constitutes one of the most devastating situations that our community has dealt with in decades," Kim Carr, the mayor of Huntington Beach, told the Associated Press. She also described the spill as an "environmental catastrophe" and said that it could become a "potential ecological disaster." Officials believe the oil originated from a leak in an underwater pipeline connected to an offshore drilling facility owned by Beta Offshore, a subsidiary of Houston-based Amplify Energy. The company has shut off the pipeline and suctioned out all the remaining oil to prevent further spillage. The company also sent a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to the site to determine exactly what went wrong, according to an Amplify Energy statement. A wide-scale clean-up including both federal and state agencies is now well underway. "This response is currently a 24/7 operation and response efforts are scheduled to continue until federal and state officials determine that the response to the crude oil spill is complete," the U.S. Coast Guard told CNN. However, there are fears that the spill could have wide-reaching implications for marine wildlife. Already, several dead oil-covered fish and birds have been confirmed in the area, with many more unconfirmed reports starting to come in, officials with the City of Huntington Beach said in a statement. Wildlife experts are also warning of long-term environmental problems as a result of the spill. "It has long-lasting effects on the breeding and reproduction of animals," Miyoko Sakashita, director of the Center for Biological Diversity’s oceans program, told AP News. "It’s really sad to see this broad swatch oiled." Local conservationists are particularly worried about several protected wetland habitats in the area, which are home to numerous bird species, including the snowy plover (Charadrius nivosus) and the California least tern (Sternula antillarum browni), which are both listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act, according to AP News. "The oil has already infiltrated many of our wetlands in Huntington Beach and the Talbert area," Katrina Foley, an Orange County supervisor, told CNN. "And we want to do everything we can to prevent it from intruding into that area even further." Around 2,000 feet (610 meters) of protective booms — floating barriers that contain oil spills — have been released at seven wetland locations in an attempt to limit the amount of oil that pollutes them, according to the City of Huntington Beach statement. The Coast Guard is also using absorbent booms to remove oil from the water's surface, but so far, only around 3,000 gallons of oil just 2.4% of the amount spilled, has been removed, according to Reuters. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has ordered a fisheries closure in waters up to six miles off the coast due to fears that oil may also contaminate seafood and cause public health problems, according to Reuters.

Honda has shared the first official photos of the next-generation Civic Type R. The new model will arrive in 2022 and is based on the eleventh-generation Civic hatchback. It has similar add-ons as the current model but looks more attractive to our eye due to the new Civic's less tortured lines. We have our first official glimpse of the new Civic Type R courtesy of these photos Honda shared of a prototype model covered in a bit of camouflage. It's a pretty revealing look at the latest hot hatchback, which looks far better than its predecessor but maintains its aggressive stance with a body kit, a big wing on the back, and a serious wheel and tire package. Again based on the Civic's four-door hatchback body style, we can see that the new Type R is wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires wrapped around some nice-looking ten-spoke black wheels. Red Brembo brake calipers are visible, too. A big rear wing and three exhaust tips dominate the rear view. Honda isn't sharing many technical details at this point, but we expect the new model to use the same turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four as the outgoing car, likely tuned to produce a bit more than the current 306 hp and 295 pound-feet. Honda has already confirmed that a six-speed manual transmission will be offered, although an optional dual-clutch automatic transmission may join the lineup. More details should be coming soon, as Honda says that the Type R will be revealed in full sometime next year. It'll go on sale in the U.S. later in 2022, likely with a starting price just under $40,000. Link:-https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37848724/2022-honda-civic-type-r-teaser/

I have always dreamed of joining the circus and thought this could be the skill for me. Do I have the guts and grace to start spinning around? love the circus. The first time I took my infant sons – their chubby faces bathed in multicoloured lights, tiny minds blown – we emerged to find a freak snowstorm had transformed the car park into a hushed, white wonderland, as if the circus had VIP access to the weather. At another circus in a Yorkshire field, a tame fox sat on a shetland pony as it ambled around, occasionally stopping to graze on the straw bales demarcating the ring, and two women of a certain age in flesh-coloured catsuits, gyrated slowly. They were both amazing. I devoured Josser, Nell Gifford’s account of running away to join the circus, and dream of doing the same; a life of sawdust and greasepaint, not spreadsheets and Google docs. But the circus doesn’t need a writer, so what could I do? I’m as supple as an ironing board and recently managed to put my back out chopping apples, so acrobatics and feats of strength are out. I can’t be a clown either because I’m not funny, as readers often remind me. The Cyr wheel seems promising: it’s a human-sized hoop into which a person inserts themselves, then performs stunning, gravity-defying movements. The apparatus was created in the 1990s by Canadian circus artist Daniel Cyr, though it builds on the much older, more hamster-adjacent “German Wheel”, apparently. I watch videos of men and women making Cyr wheels do extraordinarily graceful things and, inexplicably, think: I could do that. Despite notoriously poor balance and lack of athleticism, my only concern for some reason is what happens to my fingers when the wheel goes upside down – won’t I squash them? It turns out there is no danger of that. Things start badly with my Cyr session when I get lost and end up on a potato farm. A furious woman accosts me. “You thought you’d find a circus? Here? What on earth were you thinking?” When I do locate “Circus Stu” in his rehearsal space, he is much nicer. Stuart was an amateur enthusiast until redundancy from his day job in computing encouraged him to take his hobby full-time as Circus Skills York. He is living that circus dream, albeit in a rain-lashed barn with me today, which is no one’s dream. He is wearing his ringmaster outfit, which I appreciate enormously. My wheel is big, blue, heavy, and apparently very expensive: a basic Cyr wheel starts at £500, a fancy one can set you back £1,500. We start with a static balance on the rim of this luxe hula hoop, lifting one foot at a time. So far, so manageable. The next step is spinning the wheel from the ground. Cyr is as much decorative show craft as stunts, Stuart explains: it’s extremely physical (uh-oh) so a routine traditionally includes balletic, slower movements, to allow the performer to get their breath back. “Rest the wheel on your palm,” says Stuart, “and just guide it gently.” I enjoy this – the weight of the wheel, the swooping sensation – but at the next stage, when I’m supposed to lead the wheel round in a circle like a pony, building momentum, things fall apart. “Keep your left hand still and stay at the back of the wheel,” Stuart keeps saying, as I race ahead again and again, dragging it with my left hand. Glossing over my incompetence, Stuart gets me to let go. The wheel draws lazy, mesmerising parabolas as it drops, and I need to jump in, then sit down. Stuart demonstrates, nimbly, then I have a go and wimp out three times. Getting the balance between height and speed is tricky – I’m scared I will catch my foot and faceplant. If this sounds pathetic, rest assured it looks even worse: I’m just stepping into a huge hoop. But when I manage it, the rush is exhilarating. The reverse – sliding under the wheel as it starts to settle on the ground – is even more nerve-racking: I risk taking 13kg of Ukrainian aluminium on the head. “I’m scared!” I whimper, dithering as the wheel accelerates, but eventually slide under triumphantly in the nick of time, Indiana Jones-style. Buoyed, I have a go at the main event: spinning round. The aim is to create enough momentum for a stable spin, then hold your nerve as the wheel revolves with you on board. I try a “skate start” – pedalling with one foot – and a sort of twisting, treading start, and fail at both, repeatedly. When I do manage to get moving, I barely manage a quarter revolution before getting scared and falling off. Mainly I just stand in my wheel like a baffled Leonardo Vitruvian Man. Stuart, whose patience is saintly, tries various approaches to get me moving, both technical (“Arms at 10 and two, try putting your foot a bit higher, make sure you really go for the spin”) and mystical (“Be one with the wheel”). I really enjoy it when he demonstrates his impressive, stomach-churning skills to encourage me, but my limbs and brain refuse to cooperate. We finally have a minor breakthrough when Stuart puts on some rousing music: I’m sufficiently galvanised to manage a full, if erratic, revolution, before wimping out. “Go with it! Go with it!” he urges. You need to stay in the axis of the leaning wheel to keep up the momentum – but I’m just too chicken. I expected to be spinning upside down by now: I’m the circus equivalent of those men who think they can take a point off Serena Williams. As the angry potato farmer said, what on earth was I thinking? Cyr wheel is huge fun, but I’m not sure it’s my discipline. “If you’d like to come back, we could try something with fire?” Stuart offers rashly. Fire – now we’re talking.

House cats may lord over the living room, but one significant difference (other than their size) sets them apart from their king-of-the-jungle kin: their vocalizations. Most big cats, such as lions and tigers, can roar loudly to announce their presence and defend their territory, but house cats are stuck with their less-ferocious meows and purrs. So, why can't house cats roar? Goodness knows it would help them get their way around the house (even more so than they do already). It has to do with the physiology of the cat's voice box and throat, which help create these feline vocalizations. Because of the way purrs and roars are made, these sounds are mutually exclusive in cats — any given cat species can either roar or purr, but not both, said John Wible, curator of mammals at the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh. Purring is a unique sound because it's created both when the cat breathes in and when it breathes out. The vocalization seems to have evolved first in cats and is widespread in the Felidae family, Wible said. Cats that purr include the house cat, bobcat, ocelot, lynx, cougar and cheetah. "Roaring is much rarer among cats and evolved in a particular lineage of large cats," Wible told Live Science in an email. These cats make up the Panthera genus, which includes lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards. One exception here is the snow leopard, which may have lost its ability to roar, according to Wible and a study in the Journal of Anatomy. As in humans, the sounds cats make come from their voice box, called the larynx. The difference between purring cats and roaring cats starts here, though exactly how cats make these sounds are unclear, Wible said. Roars come from bendy bones in the throat The mammalian voice box is in the throat, where air passing by its structures creates sounds. The hyoid bones and the vocal cords are two essential parts of the larynx that produce vocalizations in cats. "All mammals have bones in their neck close to the lower jaw that are the hyoid apparatus, and these bones have a connection to the base of the skull, either directly or via ligaments," Wible said. One of the significant differences between roaring species and purring species lies in the hyoid. "The roarers have a unique arrangement for one pair of the bones of the hyoid apparatus, called the epihyoids," Wible said. "Rather than bone, the epihyoid is an elongated elastic ligament." The flexible cartilage allows the animals to lower the voice box in the throat, producing a deeper-pitched sound. Purrs come from variations in the voice box Another significant difference between roaring and purring cats lies in the voice box itself and is essential for purring, Wible said. "Purring is caused by the extremely rapid twitching of the vocalis muscle, which is in the vocal folds in the voice box." Roaring cats have longer, heavier, stretchier, fleshier, fattier layers of tissue making up their vocal cords. This tissue is strong and flexible, letting these big cats create the rumbling sound of a roar in a low pitch, according to research published in the journal PLOS One in 2011, but it doesn’t let them purr. Whatever physiological developments led to the cat's purr, "it must have provided some evolutionary advantage to be maintained in the cat lineage," Wible said. Scientists are not sure exactly what its role is in the wild. Theories include the suggestion that purring is a healing or calming mechanism or that it might help hide the mewing of kittens from predators. "My house cats purr as a sign of contentment as far as I can tell," Wible said. "But I don't know if that is the same across wild species of cats that purr."

A new Bond-movie car exhibit, Bond in Motion, has opened at the Petersen Automotive Museum and will run until October 2022. There are 30 cars from 60 years of Bond films. The exhibit features submarines, motorcycles, a Tuk Tuk taxi, and something called a Wet Bike, too. When the very first Bond movie was filmed in 1962, the whole production had a budget of just one million English pounds, or about what the catering budget would be for a modern Bond film. And since Dr. No was shot on the island of Jamaica in the days before carmakers fought—and often paid—to have their cars featured in movies, the Dr. No crew had to rely on the largesse of the local Jamaicans for cars. Thus, Bond’s first-ever chase scene shows Sean Connery piloting an 80-hp Sunbeam Alpine borrowed from a local resident, who happened to own one of the few sports cars on the island. As you’ll no doubt recall from that movie, Bond had to outrun a hearseful of Dr. No’s murderous henchmen, who were driving a LaSalle hearse from the 1930s. Remarkably, the hearse was able to keep up with the Sunbeam Alpine, maybe because the Sunbeam only had a 1.6-liter engine, but only until Bond snuck under the boom of a parked crane, sending the hearse off a cliff to a flaming fireball of death. "Where were they going?" the crane operator asked. "I think they were on their way to a funeral," said Bond, in the first of what would be hundreds of clever quips delivered over vanquished foes. Since that first chase scene, the cars of the Bond franchise have advanced to the point where they are almost as famous as the stars. Since the Sunbeam, 007 has now driven everything from Lotuses, Jaguars, and BMWs, to the coming crop of Aston Martins that will be seen in the 3oth installment, No Time To Die, opening October 8 in the U.S. To celebrate all these wheeled wonders, the Petersen Automotive Museum in the heart of Hollywood has opened an exhibit called Bond In Motion that will run until October 30, 2022. So while there’s no immediate rush, you may want to see it before the latest movie premieres. Link:-https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a37809156/bond-movie-cars-at-the-petersen/

There should be no guilt with cake, only romance – in the making, the display, the history… and, of course, the eating The Great British Bake Off is back! Sales of baking utensils skyrocket when the amateur baking show is on. It appears we’re all cake mad. But I’ve always been mad as a box of doughnuts for cake, long before the GBBO started. In fact, it’s one of my loves – not one of my vices. Cake and I are friends; we go back a long way. At school, we’d bake in home economics class and sell our creations in the tuck shop – 10p a fairy cake. The whole process felt like alchemy to me: the creaming of butter and sugar, then the eggs, all beaten into a frenzy of delight. That feeling of magic at my fingertips has not left – it is why I love to bake. It’s a good lesson in life: humble beginnings can have majestic ends. Like an ode to a lover, I feel emotional when writing about it. I can smell its perfume and the tantalising sensation of it touching my lips. Part of its appeal for me is its rich history. Our love affair with cake goes back centuries. Food historians believe carrot cake originated from carrot puddings eaten by Europeans in the middle ages, when sugar and sweeteners were expensive and many people used carrots as a substitute for sugar. The ancient Egyptians loved baking and the early Greeks were fans of cheesecake. The Romans, apparently, enjoyed early forms of fruitcakes. But it wasn’t until the 19th century that the sponge cake as we know it began to reign supreme. “The cake was originally two pieces of sponge sandwiched with just jam,” says food historian Samantha Bilton. “The addition of cream came in the 20th century. Queen Victoria mentioned her love for cakes frequently in her journals.” Equally po[CENSORED]r these days, is the lemon drizzle cake, usually attributed to Evelyn Rose, who first shared the recipe in the Jewish Chronicle in 1967. “It has lots going for it – light, moist, full of flavour,” says Lisa Smith, owner of Ginger Bakers, adding the wise advice: “If it doesn’t quite work out you can always serve it warm with custard.” Cakes have a touch of whimsy about them, which I adore – as if they belong in story picture books. Perhaps that’s why they are so nostalgic for me, fragranced with childhood romance. Before my 10th birthday I remember going to the bakery with my mum to order my own. I wanted the “1” to be purple and the “0” to be pink. This was very important; it was the first executive decision I ever made. I have a photo of me beaming at the cake just before I blew out the candles. My friends’ eyes are glazed over with admiration that it came in two colours. Linked to the whimsical notion of cake is the frivolity of it, which is essential, because life is just too damn serious. Having said that, I like how deadly serious the art of baking can be. In Paris I visited a patisserie that took my breath away. It was vast and gilded, a mini Versaille, with ceilings that were ornate and grand. The cakes and pastries sat in glass drawers as if they were expensive bits of jewellery. The French know that a millefeuille can be a Monet. For the first time, I felt someone was taking cake as seriously as I did. There was an unquestionable refinement in how it was presented and consumed. I had stepped into a macaron-like pastel- and gold-coloured jewellery box. It was pure romance. I imagined being stretched out on a chaise longue, waiters sashaying around me, carrying silver trays laden with pyramids of delectable delights. This was a seduction of the highest quality. In spite of the po[CENSORED]rity of the GBBO, which Smith thinks is the reason why baking is so po[CENSORED]r now for both men and women, there’s no food group we vilify more, that can make us feel so guilty about consuming. Quite rightly we are vociferous about the ethics of certain foods – veal and foie gras, say, but cake? A drama unfolds whenever it’s offered, so much so that eating it can feel like an act of rebellion: “Oh, I really shouldn’t.” There’s a polite dance between the giver and the taker: “Oh, go on.” And then comes the submissive: “OK. Just a small slice.” We are quick to simplify food as “good” or “bad”. There are plenty of other sugary products out there with a high fat content – why is cake the devil? Perhaps it’s because cake is an indulgence, something we don’t eat when we’re actually hungry and which doesn’t have any real nutritional significance. It is reported that Marie Antoinette callously said, “Let them eat cake!” when French subjects had no bread to eat. Cake exists to simply satisfy desire, and is therefore deemed sinful. A plate of sausages can never look lascivious like a petit fours. Cake is full of flamboyance, dressed up to the nines and wearing stilettos. While stalking the cakes in the supermarket, a stranger whispered in my ear: “Don’t, you’ll get fat.” My response? I bought two cakes instead of one. As I stuffed my face, I thought about the stranger’s words. Cake, to some, is a reminder that desire needs to be measured with as much accuracy as the ingredients that go into baking one. So much of our morality is projected on to these beautiful and edible works of art. It has somehow become symbolic of all that we see as human weakness: gluttony, greed and sin. To accept a slice has become a moral decision. Which is where I’d like to introduce one of my heroes. As well as Joan of Arc, Aunt Sally from the 80s kids’ show Worzel Gummidge is inspirational. Aunt Sally agreed to marry ol’ Worzel just so she could eat wedding cake. Like me, she is unapologetic. Her attitude is refreshing, the antithesis to the Hollywood starlets who live torturous measured lives. She’s flawed – and more interesting for it. For something that’s on the naughty list all year round, cake comes out on our most important days: wedding, birthday, christening. As Bilton says: “Queen Victoria declared: ‘The christening cake was beautiful’ in her journal on 25 January 1842 when writing about her eldest son, Bertie. So I’m guessing, by her reign, christening cake was certainly a thing.” To me, cutting cake always feels ceremonial, whether it’s my birthday cake or a slice just for me on a rainy Monday afternoon. For all its devilishness, the sharing of cake exudes love. Whenever I came home from university my young aunt, Martha, would entice me to visit her. “I’ll bake you a cake,” she’d say (code for: I love you). As I write these words, I feel tearful, because she died at 36. The first time I helped bake a cake was with Aunt Martha. When I think of cake, I cannot help but think of her and what it means to be loved. The proverb, “You can’t have your cake and eat it,” seems nonsensical to me, a logical fallacy. What’s the point of cake if you can’t eat it? But I am aware of the deeper meaning: one cannot have two incompatible things. But this is just what cake is: a mixture of the incompatible. We have the happiness (of eating it) and then the remorse (after eating it). So contrary to po[CENSORED]r belief, I am pleased to announce: you can have your cake and eat it. Please, go ahead. Slice of the action: the cake hall of fame Fairy cake Its history derives from that of the cupcake, which showed up in literature at the end of the 1700s in American Cookery, the first cookbook written by an American, which describes it as “a cake to be baked in small cups”. Battenberg cake Also called “church window cake” and “checkerboard cake”. One theory of the cake’s origin is that it was created in honour of the marriage of Princess Victoria to Prince Louis of Battenberg in 1884. Coffee cake Thought to have originated in Europe in the 17th century. Europe at that time was known for its sweet-tasting yeast breads and with the advent of coffee, the recipe for coffee cake evolved.

Boris Johnson has pledged the Conservatives will "change and improve" the economy after Covid, as the party opens its annual conference later. The PM said the country cannot "go back to how things were" before the pandemic. It comes after he accused the haulage industry of being too reliant on low-paid immigration, amid shortages at petrol stations. The military is due to begin delivering petrol across the UK from Monday. Two hundred military servicemen and women, 100 of them drivers, will provide "temporary" support to ease pressure on forecourts. The government has also announced 5,000 temporary visas for foreign lorry drivers to plug a shortage of lorry drivers worsened by Covid, Brexit and other factors. Although the industry and opposition parties have dismissed these figures as inadequate, Mr Johnson has said importing drivers is not a long-term solution. Speaking on Saturday, he said: "What we don't want to do is go back to a situation in which we basically allowed the road haulage industry to be sustained with a lot of low-wage immigration." He added that a "mass immigration approach" had made the sector less attractive by reducing wages and "the quality of the job". "People don't want that. They want us to be a well-paid, well-skilled, highly productive economy and that's where we're going." However, he did not rule out issuing more temporary visas, saying the situation would remain "under review". Ahead of the Conservative conference beginning on Sunday, the prime minister vowed to take "big, bold decisions" to rebuild after the pandemic. "We didn't go through Covid to go back to how things were before - to the status quo ante. Build Back Better means we want things to change and improve as we recover." The post-pandemic recovery is set to be a key theme of the four-day event in Manchester, along with the government's effort to "level up" regional inequalities. Around 10,000 delegates are expected in Manchester for the party's first in-person conference since Covid, and the first since its 2019 election victory. As the conference begins, the party has promised £22m extra funding for councils to renovate tennis courts, and £30m for schools in England to repair sports facilities. The party argues this will help equalise access to sport in poorer regions, with unplayable courts more likely to be found in deprived areas. The prime minister has both a substantial Commons majority and leads a party that most recent opinion polls suggest is more po[CENSORED]r than Labour. But, as the conference here begins, the pressures on the government stack up: queues at some petrol stations, fears of further shortages on shop shelves, even staffing issues in abattoirs. Prices are rising just as both the furlough scheme and the uplift to Universal Credit end and an increase to National Insurance looms. Boris Johnson insists he is taking what he calls the "big, bold decisions" on the priorities people care about, such as social care and supporting jobs. Expect plenty of talk here in the next few days about the government's desire to "level up", as ministers call it. It is a promise that collides for many with the reality that it's bills that are going up. The government has made "levelling up" a priority ahead of the next election - but is facing criticism from some of its own MPs that the concept remains vague. On Sunday, 10 Tory MPs elected in 2019 became the latest set of backbenchers to make demands on the issue, calling for more power to be handed to local councils, and for tax breaks to be introduced for community businesses and social enterprises. There is also concern in the party over the effect of rising inflation and surging energy costs, combining with the withdrawal of a universal credit top-up of £20 a week, which was introduced during the coronavirus pandemic. Some of the party's MPs, including former leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith, have joined opposition MPs in warning about a squeeze on living standard for the poorest households. Labour, which has warned of a "winter of discontent", has urged the PM to recall Parliament to discuss the fuel crisis. The party's leader Sir Keir Starmer has called on the government to issue "enough visas" to deal with the lorry driver shortage, and give "key workers" priority access to fuel.

Ancient cut marks on mammoth bones unearthed on a remote island in the frozen extremes of Siberia are the northernmost evidence of Paleolithic humans ever found, according to archaeologists. The bones from the woolly mammoth skeleton, dated to about 26,000 years ago, were excavated this summer by a Russian expedition to Kotelny Island, in the far northeast of Siberia — 615 miles (990 kilometers) north of the Arctic Circle. The team pieced together more than two-thirds of the skeleton — and they found cut marks and notches, made by stone or bone tools, on almost every bone. That indicates the animal was deliberately butchered, probably after it was hunted down by a nomadic band of Stone Age hunters, the archaeologists said. Related: Back to the Stone Age: 17 key milestones in Paleolithic life It's the northernmost evidence of Paleolithic humans ever found, said expedition leader Alexander Kandyba, an archaeologist at the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Siberian branch. "This suggests that the northern border of human existence in the Pleistocene was much to the north of the generally accepted ideas," Kandyba told Live Science in an email, referring to the Pleistocene epoch between 2.6 million and 11,700 years ago — the time of the last ice age. Until now, the northernmost traces of Stone Age humans came from the valley of the Yana River in the Yakutia region of Siberia, and dated to between 27,000 and 29,000 years ago, he said. "The discovery of this site makes it possible to move the northern border of the existence of ancient man and the development of the territory by him in the Pleistocene by almost 600 kilometers [370 miles] to the north," he said. Mammoth bon Kotelny Island is the largest of the New Siberian Islands, which are located between the Laptev Sea and the East Siberian Sea, about 150 miles (250 km) off the northern coast of East Siberia. At the time the mammoth was killed, the sea level was lower, and so Kotelny Island was joined to the mainland. The climate was also milder, although temperatures were still near or below freezing for most of the year. Related: Mammoth resurrection: 11 hurdles to bringing back an ice age beast Archaeologists previously found the fossilized remains of trees on the island, but it's too cold for them to grow there today. Kandyba’s team discovered the mammoth bones on Kotelny Island in 2019, but it was only during the expedition in July of this year that they could be fully excavated, he said. Stone Age hunters The team didn't find any of the tools that caused the marks, but they did find a large number of ivory shavings and chips that indicated that ancient people had carved into the mammoth tusks. They also found two ivory tools made from the tusks: a small spatula and a strange object that looks somewhat like a squeegee; archaeologists are still trying to determine what it was used for, Kandyba said. From the bones, the archaeologists gleaned other clues about the lifestyle of the Stone Age hunters. For a start, it seems clear that they hunted mammoths, although other archaeologists have suggested Paleolithic hunters may have avoided such large and dangerous prey in favor of smaller animals, such as reindeer. "I think people hunted all kinds of animals at that time," Kandyba said. There was no sign that the mammoth had been trapped before it was killed — a method some archaeologists suggest such hunters may have used. "The fact that the skeleton of the mammoth was located on the slope of an ancient terrace suggests that the animal was definitely killed in the open air, and not in a mud trap," he said. The findings from the latest research on the mammoth skeleton and the evidence that it was butchered by Stone Age humans are now being prepared for publication in a scientific journal, Kandyba said.

The new Mitsubishi Outlander will again have a plug-in-hybrid version. Unlike the current Outlander PHEV, the new model will have a third-row seat. The Outlander PHEV will arrive in the U.S. in the second half of calendar-year 2022, likely as a 2023 model. UPDATE 10/1/21: Mitsubishi has shared another photo of the upcoming plug-in-hybrid version of the Outlander. Its styling looks to be identical to the nonhybrid model, with the main differentiators being a charging port on the right rear fender and a hybrid badge.The company also detailed the hybrid's all-wheel-drive system, which will use two electric motors, one powering the front wheels and one powering the rear wheels. It will offer seven drive modes, including Normal, Gravel, Snow, Power, and Eco settings. Mitsubishi is currently selling the previous-generation Outlander plug-in hybrid alongside the redesigned nonhybrid 2022 Outlander, but that will change next year when a PHEV version based on the new model arrives in the U.S. Mitsubishi shared two photos of the new hybrid and shared a few tidbits of information about this new model, saying that it will go on sale in the U.S. in the second half of 2022. The new Outlander hybrid's gas-electric powertrain will have a more powerful electric motor and a larger battery capacity, which should give it more electric driving range than the current car's EPA rating of 24 miles on battery power. Mitsubishi also says that the packaging of the new platform allows for a third-row seat in the hybrid model, which gives it the same seven-passenger seating capacity as the nonhybrid.

The hack A natural powder made from household items to reduce friction, absorb perspiration and prevent chafing on the body. The promise Anytime our skin rubs against itself, especially if we’re sweaty, the friction can cause irritation and soreness – particularly between the thighs. DIY beauty enthusiasts say we can avoid pricey sports balms, dusting powders or sweat-wicking creams, which draw moisture away from the body, and look instead in our kitchen cupboards. The test My research found two DIY anti-chafe remedies: cornflour – corn milled to a silky powder – and arrowroot, a thickening agent made from a tropical plant. Using an old face-powder brush, I daubed a little of each powder between my thighs. The mix worked well on a brisk walk to the shops but it couldn’t contend with an hour of tennis: I’d applied it underneath my sports bra, but it congealed with my sweat to make a sort-of “underboob” paste. The verdict On a warm day, I felt zero thigh chafe, but it left an unfortunate white gunge all over my clothes. Worse, cornflour and arrowroot are sugars, which can trigger yeast production (unless they’re cosmetic-grade or preserved). So when a friend said I smelled “a bit like sourdough”, that sent me straight back to my dusting powder.

US President Joe Biden has suffered a setback after Congress delayed a vote on a $1tn (£750bn) infrastructure plan. Part of his Democratic Party refuses to move forward with the plan until Congress signs off on a separate $3.5tn plan on welfare and climate change. That plan is at the heart of the party's agenda for government and passions are high among its liberal (progressive) and centrist wings. Centrists want to scale the legislation back radically. The $1tn public works bill, which would apply to routine transportation, broadband, water systems and other projects, enjoys wide support but liberal Democrats are linking it to their more ambitious welfare and climate change bill. That bill would raise taxes on corporations and the rich, investing the revenue in a broad array of social programmes, including early childhood education, universal preschool, government-funded two-year college education, paid family and medical leave, an expansion of government health insurance and environmental spending. The biggest test of Biden's presidency so far President Biden and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi have been trying to reconcile the liberals with the centrists. Reflecting the centrist position, Senator Joe Manchin said he was ready to meet the president less than halfway, at $1.5tn. He described the proposed figure of $3.5tn as "fiscal insanity". Sen Bernie Sanders, a leading liberal, said the issue was "not a baseball game" but "the most significant piece of legislation in 70 years". A fellow liberal, Representative Ilhan Omar, said: "Trying to kill your party's agenda is insanity. Not trying to make sure the president we all worked so hard to elect, his agenda pass, is insanity." The House will be back in session on Friday when efforts to push through the bills will resume. "We are not there yet, and so, we will need some additional time to finish the work, starting tomorrow morning first thing," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in a statement on Thursday. Mr Biden's party has the thinnest of majorities in both the House and Senate, and is eager to push through its signature policies before next year's congressional elections, when the Republicans attempt to regain control. On Thursday Congress did pass a temporary measure to keep the federal government funded until early December. Federal museums, national parks and safety programmes would have had to close without the funding, which also includes hurricane relief and help for Afghan refugees.

As we wait for Intel to launch its 12th Generation Alder Lake processors, Chinese merchants (via Yuuki_AnS) are already selling engineering samples on Taobao. Since we're approaching the rumored November 4 (previously November 19) launch date, sellers are probably taking the opportunity to offload the illegal samples. The Taobao seller advertised the Core i9-12900K samples as an ES2 chips, meaning that these are very close to the final retail samples. We already know that the flaghship Alder Lake part wields 16 cores in total, consisting of eight Golden Cove cores and eight Gracemont cores. The listing exposes a clock speed between 4 GHz and 5 GHz, which falls in line with the leaked specifications. The Core i9-12900K has been rumored to arrive with a 3.2 GHz base clock and 5.3 GHz boost clock and a 30MB L3 cache. The chip will obviously slot into the new LGA1700 socket and offer DDR5 and PCIe 5.0 support. Performance-wise, the Core i9-12900K will bring some surprises to the table. However, early benchmarks showed that the Core i9-12900K will struggle to beat the Core i9-11900K (Rocket Lake) processor in some workloads. As a matter of fact, the Core i9-12900K doesn't even look very convincing beside AMD's Ryzen 9 5900X, which outperforms the heterogeneous flagship by a significant margin in many workloads. It's not the first time that we've seen the Core i9-12900K on sale in China. A previous merchant was flipping Core i9-12900K qualification samples for up to $1,250. This Taobao merchant, on the other hand, is only asking $700 for his ES2 processors. One particular U.S. retailer listed the Core i9-12900K for $604.89 so even that ES2 processor isn't even a deal. It doesn't make sense to pick up any Alder Lake chips right now since there aren't motherboards available to house these hybrid processors. Surprisingly, not even the Chinese black market has any Intel 600-series motherboards

A young wallaby has escaped into the countryside just a day after arriving at a petting zoo in Aberdeenshire. Eddie, who is about six months old, only arrived at Waulkmill Menagerie, near New Deer, on Sunday. However, he escaped through a small hole in a fence on Monday. Nikki Johnstone, who runs the attraction, said he was spotted outside a pub in New Deer and was last seen heading north in the direction of Cuminestown and Turriff. 'Worried sick' "He'll be fine with grass and whatever plants he can forage", she told BBC Scotland "The cold is a bit of a worry factor because he is so little, he would need a heat lamp during our winters." Miss Johnstone said Eddie was no threat as he was not aggressive to humans or other animals, and advised anyone who spotted him to close him in and close the area if they could. "We can't chase him through a field, he's way too fast for that", she said. "We're just spreading the word, and have contacted drone people. "I'm totally gutted and just worried sick for him - just needing him home." Link:https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-north-east-orkney-shetland-58663052
