Back in 2019, Swedish maritime archaeologists discovered the wrecks of two 17th century ships at the bottom of a busy Swedish shipping canal near Vaxholm. Initially they suspected these might be the sister ships of the doomed war ship Vasa, which sank in 1628 on her first trip out of port. Thanks to analysis of wood samples obtained from the wrecks, we now knowthey are actually two rather younger war ...

May 21, 2021

Google Chrome crashing

Chrome is by far the most popular internet browser in the world, which means even relatively small issues could affect thousands of users.

As the site notes, the bug has only been reported on Windows 10 up to this point, so macOS and Linux users appear to be safe for now.

A fish species once thought extinct may actually be thriving

May 21, 2021

coelacanth conservation

Imagine casting your line into the ocean and pulling out a living dinosaur. When a group of fishermen off the coast of Madagascar pulled in their net way back in 1938 they came as close to that kind of discovery as anyone on Earth will ever experience. The crew hauled up a coelacanth, and until that very moment, nobody knew that the fish even still existed, and the only evidence that the massive fish ever graced Earth's oceans was in the form of fossils that were millions of years old.

Since that incredible and groundbreaking catch, hundreds of additional ...

Submerged for Seventy Years, Lost Italian Village of Curon Emerges from Drained Lake

May 21, 2021

For over seventy years, a lone church tower rising from the middle of a lake seemed to be all that was left of the Italian village of Curon. This strange sight became popular among tourists seeking to create unusual Instagram posts, and even spawned the 2018 novel Resto Qui (I’m Staying Here) by Marco Balzano as well as the Netflix thriller Curon (2020).

The iconic 14th-century steeple was the only visible remnant of a village that once housed roughly 900 people. Curon had been part of Austria until 1919, so the residents, many of them unable to speak ...

Correct and Incorrect Ways To Display the Nazi Flag

May 21, 2021

Good point here.

My dad brought nothing home from the war. His brother John, by contrast, got a Nazi uniform with full regalia, and a ****load of mortar shells, which I found by accident in a large box shoved in the corner of my grandmother’s garage attic when I was perhaps seven years old, in 1962. “What is this?” I asked my father, who was standing at the bottom of the ladder, showing him something like what is pictured at right.

“OK, Craig,” he said calmly.  “I’ll tell you in a second.  First, take it with both hands and ...

Attachment Theory: sidony o’neal at Veronica

May 21, 2021

At first glance, a tight exhibition at Seattle’s Veronica seems to veer toward the risky edges of highly theorized shows. “AuguRing” features three new pieces by Portland-based artist sidony o’neal, whose process-based work responds to ideas at the intersection of philosophy and mathematics. Those fields’ specialized words (“algebraic topology,” for example, roughly the study of how shapes differ) punctuate turns of phrase in an exhibition text that might make readers sweat: “From here: landscape, time-consciousness, and inheritance are positioned not as symbols, but as post-digital relations that function with and beyond the onto-epistemic logic of some temporal objects.” In contemporary ...

It’s been a long time since professionals have worked together in a shared space, and returning to that environment could be stressful. Here’s how to help employees through this transition.

A return to the office is becoming more and more realistic for organizations. But coming back will probably lead to some form of reentry anxiety among employees.

Whether it’s health and safety concerns, social anxiety after a year of working alone, or worries about reacclimating to a shared workspace, organizations and their leaders need to be ready to address these stressors so that employees can transition smoothly. And the ...

Feeling Like Giving Up? Read This Before You Do

What do anger, shame, remorse, guilt, frustration, overwhelm, indecisiveness, scarcity, and fear all have in common? When an emotional response occurs, the amygdala – the part of the brain most often referred to as “snake brain” takes hold, causing you to “process” the emotions. What’s actually happening then is that we’re living a memory from the past in the now – a form of time travel: the mind knows no different.

It’s up to you how you want to leave it though. The way you feel  is determined by how you linked those two things. The way you feel ...

Alain Kirili, Sculptor Who Lent Warmth to Industrial Materials, Has Died at 74

Though always quick to acknowledge his debt to sculptors such as David Smith and Alberto Giacometti, Kirili diverged from their styles. He employed traditional blacksmithing techniques to create his lauded forged-iron sculptures. This afforded his work a measure of ...

May 21, 2021

Gordon Laing, Editor of CameraLabs, has published his latest ‘Retro Review,’ featuring the Canon PowerShot 600, an early digital camera that he considers ‘Canon’s first consumer digital camera.’

The 10-minute video showcases the pros and cons of the 25-year-old camera, contextualizing the features with its contemporaries at the time of its release in 1996. Specifically, Gordon addresses the size of the camera, explaining that while much larger than other cameras released in the mid-90s, it was larger for good reason.

In a bid to attract crypto-wealthy buyers, Christie’s is collaborating with the Andy Warhol Foundation to stage an NFT sale comprising little-known digital art works from the Pop master’s archive.

They include signature Warhol motifs, such as his Campbell Soup Cans, flowers, and bananas, and two self-portraits. Scheduled to run through May 27, the one-week sale benefits the Warhol Foundation.

A Christmas Gift in the Making

May 21, 2021

It’s easy to be frustrated with the feeble pace by which the United States is putting its house back into order in the months following the ouster of the Trump administration.   Yet we all need to keep in mind how rapidly this whole thing could turn around and the entire ordeal at an end.

What happens when a few key indictments are handed down? When Americans decide that the rioters were not behaving like tourists and realize that our democracy was in the process of falling prey to a sociopath?  When we see that hundreds of thousands of us ...

Seagate’s new Mach.2 is the world’s fastest conventional hard drive

May 21, 2021

The key to Mach.2's increased performance is a second set of actuator arms, which can be positioned independently from the first set. Essentially, this makes a Mach.2 "two drives in one chassis."

The key to Mach.2's increased performance is a second set of actuator arms, which can be positioned independently from the first set. Essentially, this makes a Mach.2 "two drives in one chassis." (credit: Seagate)

Seagate has been working on dual-actuator hard drives—drives with two independently controlled sets of read/write heads—for several years. Its first production dual-actuator drive, the Mach.2, is now "available to select customers," meaning that enterprises can buy it directly from Seagate, but end-users are out of luck for now.

Seagate lists the sustained, sequential transfer rate of the Mach.2 as up to 524MBps—easily double that ...

There are many mysterious things in space that we can't study in great detail because they're simply too far away. As technology advances, we'll have the opportunity to do more intensive research of far-off objects, but as we sit here on Earth, a truly bizarre phenomenon has routinely made the trip right to our front door, and scientists are still struggling to explain it. They're called FRBs, short for Fast Radio Bursts, and discovering what causes them may be one of the great achievements in space science.

This immediately made waves across the industry, and within hours, Amazon revealed that its own lossless music tier would be free to all Amazon Music Unlimited subscribers.

Archaeologists train a neural network to sort pottery fragments for them

(credit: Pawlowicz and Downum 2021)

Real archaeological fieldwork is seldom as exciting as it looks in the movies. You tend to get fewer reanimated mummies, deadly booby traps, and dramatic shootouts with Nazis. Instead, you'll see pieces of broken pottery—a lot of them. Potsherds are ubiquitous at archaeological sites, and that's true for pretty much every culture since people invented pottery. In the US Southwest in particular, museums have collected sherds by the tens of thousands.

Although all those broken bits may not look like much at first glance, they’re often the key to piecing together the past.

Adding to the general pandemonium was bitcoin’s sheer free-fall over the past few days. Bank CEOs and so-called analysts alike are saying the same thing: Avoid crypto.

It’s enough to make Main Street investors sick to their stomachs.

But here at Smart Profits Daily, we play it smart. We don’t buy when the masses are moving into the next “meme stock,” and we don’t sell ...

Seven questions to ask your models to enhance your Licensing keywords

May 21, 2021

In recent years, customers have called for more inclusive advertising, made by and featuring people of all abilities, gender identities, body types, ages, ethnicities, and more. But recent research from Facebook IQ reveals that despite the fact that 71% of people expect brands to promote diversity and inclusion in their online advertising, underrepresentation remains a problem. In study after study, many customers have reaffirmed that they do not feel fully and accurately represented in advertising.

Commercial photographers can help make advertising more inclusive by listening to their models and celebrating the everyday experiences of people who represent diverse ...

5.21.21 – Moderation required with Sun square Jupiter and a Virgo Moon

May 21, 2021

Jupiter is the planet of expansion and the desire of humans to find meaning in life, and in a square aspect involving Jupiter we tend to see complacency and excess along with an overinflated sense of one’s own importance.  Confidence is a wonderful thing, and Jupiter bestows on us an idea of our best selves, but we have to know when to slow down and learn our own limits.

Today the Gemini Sun, full of ideas and conversation with a tendency towards business, forms a square to Jupiter in Pisces.  In Pisces, one of the ...

Q: “How come my child is defiant at home only, but at school and around other people outside of our family, she is well behaved?”


When I see children exhibiting behavior challenges at home, but none of it appears at school, that says to me that they are screaming for scaffolding: They want to know where the parameters are at home around what is tolerated and what is not tolerated. That comes through authoritative parenting.

I understand that, for a lot of parents, being authoritative does not come naturally. Others may not have the emotional energy ...

However, despite health being more top of mind than ever, almost 75%* of Americans (18-49) do not have a primary care physician, nor do they see the benefit in having a trusted healthcare partner.

When Novelty Follows Function: The Kitschy Designs of Duck Architecture

May 21, 2021

© Image via wikimedia © Image via wikimedia

Design can sometimes be mundane- except when it’s novelty architecture. These buildings uniquely and identifiably break away from the abstract, metaphorical, and often monotonous buildings that have classified modern-day design. Instead of favoring the steel and glass skyscrapers that serve as landmarks in cities around the world, they aim to poke fun at architecture in a way that’s jovial, commercial, and perhaps slightly more functional and expressive. Unlike other buildings, they are the literal embodiment of a thing itself, putting its function widely on display instead of hiding it within four austere walls.

The Luxembourg Pavilion at the 17th Architecture Biennale reflects on how the pandemic has brought a series of dualities to the spotlight, challenging the understanding of the relationships established between architecture and land, interior and exterior, home and work or the built environment and nature. In light of these issues, the exhibition titled Homes for Luxembourg, designed by Sara Noel Costa de Araujo (Studio SNCDA) and featuring contributions to the architecture publication Accattone explores ideas of modular, reversible living while also illustrating a model of repurposing land to build new forms of togetherness.
