NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water.
The discovery sets a new record for greatest number of habitable-zone planets found around a single star outside our solar system. All of these seven planets could have liquid water – key to life as we know it – under the right atmospheric conditions, but the chances are highest with the three in the habitable zone.
“This discovery could be a significant piece in the puzzle of finding habitable environments, places that are conducive to life,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of the agency’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. “Answering the question ‘are we alone’ is a top science priority and finding so many planets like these for the first time in the habitable zone is a remarkable step forward toward that goal.”
At about 40 light-years (235 trillion miles) from Earth, the system of planets is relatively close to us, in the constellation Aquarius. Because they are located outside of our solar system, these planets are scientifically known as exoplanets.
This exoplanet system is called TRAPPIST-1, named for The Transiting Planets and Planetesimals Small Telescope (TRAPPIST) in Chile. In May 2016, researchers using TRAPPIST announced they had discovered three planets in the system. Assisted by several ground-based telescopes, including the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, Spitzer confirmed the existence of two of these planets and discovered five additional ones, increasing the number of known planets in the system to seven.
The new results were published Wednesday in the journal Nature, and announced at a news briefing at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
Using Spitzer data, the team precisely measured the sizes of the seven planets and developed first estimates of the masses of six of them, allowing their density to be estimated.
Based on their densities, all of the TRAPPIST-1 planets are likely to be rocky. Further observations will not only help determine whether they are rich in water, but also possibly reveal whether any could have liquid water on their surfaces. The mass of the seventh and farthest exoplanet has not yet been estimated – scientists believe it could be an icy, "snowball-like" world, but further observations are needed.
"The seven wonders of TRAPPIST-1 are the first Earth-size planets that have been found orbiting this kind of star," said Michael Gillon, lead author of the paper and the principal investigator of the TRAPPIST exoplanet survey at the University of Liege, Belgium. "It is also the best target yet for studying the atmospheres of potentially habitable, Earth-size worlds."
Astronomers today released the largest-ever compilation of exoplanet-detecting observations made with a technique called radial velocity. They also demonstrated how these observations can be used to hunt for exoplanets by detecting 114 potential exoplanets, including one orbiting a star 8.1 light-years away.
The radial velocity method is one of the most successful techniques for finding and confirming exoplanets.
It takes advantage of the fact that in addition to an exoplanet being influenced by the gravity of the star it orbits, the exoplanet’s gravity also affects the star. Astronomers are able to use sophisticated tools to detect the tiny wobble the exoplanet induces as its gravity tugs on the parent star. The newly available observations were taken by the High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer (HIRES), an instrument mounted on the Keck Observatory’s 10-m telescope at Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
HIRES is designed to split a star’s incoming light into a rainbow of color components. Astronomers can then measure the precise intensity of thousands of color channels, or wavelengths, to determine characteristics of the starlight.
For two decades, they have pointed HIRES at 1,624 nearby stars, all within a relatively close 325 light-years from Earth.
The instrument has recorded 60,949 observations, each lasting anywhere from 30 sec to 20 min, depending on how precise the measurements needed to be. With all these data compiled, any given star in the dataset can have several days’, years’, or even more than a decade’s worth of observations.
“This dataset will slowly grow, and you’ll be able to go on and search for whatever star you’re interested in and download all the data we’ve ever taken on it,” said Dr. Jennifer Burt, an astronomer at MIT’s Kavli Institute for Astrophysics and Space Research and co-author of a paper accepted for publication in the Astronomical Journal.
"An island, a territory, a self-governing entity, a renegade province, a breakaway part of China, the place formerly known as Formosa—call Taiwan any of those things, but never a country, a state, or a nation. The simple fact that it took a phone call between US president-elect Donald Trump and Taiwanese president Tsai Ing-wen to draw attention to one of Asia’s most vibrant democracies highlights the humiliating plight of Taiwan in the international arena. The irony that the US and other democratic countries cannot openly recognize Taiwan’s achievements for fear of incurring Beijing’s wrath has not been lost on many observers, who nevertheless fear that a cavalier move by Trump to upend diplomatic protocol in such a way could ultimately end badly for little Taiwan."

This behaviour towards Taiwan of the so-called “democratic” countries is unfair and their submission to China is unacceptable. But that’s the way things go and Chile is benefiting from this cowardice. Let’s put a stop to the made in China!
(East Asia) The countries of the world cannot identify Taiwan's sovereignty because of China's indignation. Although Taiwan claims to be the true China, most countries recognize the hugely powerful PRC instead. China has prevented Taiwan from entering the United Nations and has pressured countries to perceive Taiwanese citizens as Chinese. However, Taiwan has followed the UN's regulations on issues such as climate change and may soon be the first Asian area to legalize same-sex marriage. While a strong democracy, China strong-arms other nations to exclude Taiwan.
Les volailles d'autrefois ont été oubliées, mais un éleveur de Bligny-sur-Ouche, en Côte-d'Or, les remet au goût du jour dans sa ferme, sa table d'hôte et jusque dans les plus grands restaurants. Ses volailles vivent dehors, en liberté par tous les temps, et en deviennent rustiques, résistantes, presque sauvages.

We've grown good at making many things in the modern world - but strangely the art of making attractive cities has been lost. Here are some key principles for how to make attractive cities once again.
Summary: This interesting video talks about principles that should be considered by city planners that could make our life's better and happier.
Insight: This video is relevant to unit 7 because it shows efforts that should be taken by urban planners and how a simple city layout can effect our lives.
This video gives you an overview of how to make the most attractive city in six ways. It explains the reasons and the wants of a city that potential residents are looking for.
This video relates to Unit 7: Cities and Urban Land Use because it talks about the orgin, site and situation a city should have for it to be considered attractive to people. A city should be chaotic/ordered, should have visible life, compact, is should have a nice/mysterious orientation, it should not be too big or too small, and it should be local and lively. Today, many cities lack attractiveness because of the intellectual confusion around beauty and the lack of political will. I totally agree with video and the requirement s to have an attrative city.
La destruction des forêts pluviales des tropiques pourrait se répercuter sur les agriculteurs en Europe et aux États Unis
La déforestation massive dans les tropiques pourrait entraîner des bouleversements significatifs et de vaste étendue dans la répartition des précipitations et dans les températures, affectant potentiellement l’agriculture à la fois localement et dans des zones très éloignées des sites où se produit la perte de forêt, c’est la conclusion d’une étude publiée aujourd’hui dans « Nature Climate Change ».

Potatoes are one of the most widespread foods in the world, due to its resiliency to harsh weather conditions and its ability to grow to large sizes. Potatoes can also be traced to show the beginning forces of globalization. Before modern communication and transportation technology, globalization occurred at a much slower rate. Globalization spread through trade routes in the forms of foods, resources, and therefore cultures and people.
The Colombian Exchange is a term that describes the most dramatic biologic transfer in history. European explorers brought animals and agricultural items from the Old World to the New and subsequently brought back items from the New World back to the Old. This exchange profoundly reshaped many societies as agricultural diffusion of the potato lead to the changes across northern Europe.
La serre biologique de l’hôpital Henry Ford de West Bloomfield, cité de la banlieue de Détroit, fait figure de modèle aux Etats-Unis. Depuis son lancement il y a un an, des dizaines de variétés de légumes y sont cultivées pour la consommation des patients qui mettent la main à la patte lors d’ateliers.
A travers cette thérapie par le jardinage, le projet vise à sensibiliser les patients sur les bienfaits d’une alimentation saine contre les maladies chroniques telles que l’obésité.
Alimentation et participation
C’est un donateur anonyme qui a permis à la serre de sortir de terre en septembre 2012. L’espace de 140 m2 est géré par Michelle Lutz, jardinière attitrée. Derrière les parois de verre des dizaines d’espèces de légumes et herbes y sont cultivées grâce aux techniques bio et selon des saisons. Une fois récoltés, les produits sont cuisinés par le chef de l’hôpital et atterrissent dans les assiettes des patients. L’établissement de 200 lits a ainsi fait chuter sa facture annuelle d’achats alimentaires de plusieurs milliers d’euros.
En pratique, Lutz a opté pour un mode de culture en hydroponie (hors-sol) pour deux raisons.
Cette méthode permet d’abord de mieux contrôler la croissance des plantes et de consommer 10 fois moins d’eau que les cultures traditionnelles. En l’absence de terre, elle offre aussi un gain de place utile à la venue de patients, scolaires et autres visiteurs à l’occasion d’ateliers et autres leçons de jardinage. Car la serre joue aussi un rôle de sensibilisation clef.
Sensibiliser au-delà de l’hôpital
Lieu de détente et de thérapie par le jardin, cette serre biologique s’accompagne d’une cuisine de démonstration où des cours de gastronomie sont dispensés. Les patients y apprennent les manières de prévenir ou gérer les maladies chroniques grâce à des méthodes de culture et pratiques alimentaires saines.
Non loin de la serre, un centre éducatif accueille les plus jeunes. Des cars scolaires affluent de tout le Michigan. La serre de l’hôpital de West Bloomfield représente un modèle dans cet état, et même au-delà à travers les Etats-Unis.
« Nous voulons influencer nos jeunes à porter un autre regard sur la nourriture et sur ce qu’ils mettent dans leur ventre » indique Gerard Van Grinsven, directeur de l’établissement.Quant à Michelle Lutz à qui l’on demande souvent si elle la seule jardinière d’hôpital aux du pays, elle répond : « Je pense que oui, mais ne veux pas le rester. J’espère que de nombreux autres hôpitaux s’inspireront de ce que l’on fait ici ».
Enfin la sensibilisation pour l'agri-nourriture ! Il faut que les consommateurs exigent le vrai BIO pour faire changer les lobies de Monsanto. Pas d'autre solution pour une vie saine et assurée à nos descendants. Si le rythme actuel se poursuit dans moins de 50 ans il n'y aura rien à manger nulle part dans le monde. Personne ne s'en inquiète ?? Quel désastre !...

Le soja transgénique - l''or vert' de l'Amérique du Sud - génère d'immenses profits mais aussi des dégâts sociaux et environnementaux considérables.
Enquête au Paraguay, où des petits paysans affrontent la puissante filière des cultures OGM.
Geronimo est un petit paysan qui vit avec sa famille dans un village du Paraguay. Autour de chez lui s’étendent à perte de vue des champs de soja transgénique appartenant à de grands propriétaires, des colons brésiliens pour la plupart.
Victimes de contaminations dues à l’épandage d’herbicide, les villageois s’organisent pour lutter contre la destruction de leur environnement et sauver la vie de leurs enfants...
La loi du plus fort
Paysans expulsés, pollution des sols, déforestation, empoisonnements... : quel poids pèsent les dégâts sociaux et environnementaux face aux profits générés par la monoculture intensive du soja génétiquement modifié ?
En se rendant au Paraguay, qui compte parmi les principaux pays exportateurs mondiaux de soja, et en se mettant à l’écoute des différentes parties en présence, les réalisateurs nous donnent des clés pour comprendre comment a pu s’imposer un modèle de développement agricole particulièrement destructeur.
Et cela à travers l’affrontement inégal entre, d’un côté, les grands propriétaires producteurs de soja, bras armés (au sens propre) des firmes agroalimentaires et des spéculateurs financiers, et de l’autre les campesinos, ces petits paysans qui tentent de défendre leur outil de travail et leur mode de vie.
Aux discours agressifs des premiers, partisans de la loi du plus fort – renforcés dans leurs convictions par les arguments de scientifiques défendant les intérêts des leaders du marché des semences et des produits phytosanitaires –, s’oppose l’énergie du désespoir d’une société rurale traditionnelle pour qui le soja transgénique est une malédiction.
Dans cet universel combat du pot de terre contre le pot de fer, c’est la logique du profit qui l’emporte, avec l’arrestation des petits paysans pour “occupation illégale des terres”... Comment la lutte se poursuivra-t-elle ?
Ceux et celles qui défendent les OGM et Monsanto sont invités à regarder ce programme sur ARTE, ce soir, à 22h30. A vos postes ! Pour tous les autres, ce sera encore un triste constat...
"El Niño and La Niña are complex weather patterns resulting from variations in ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific--officially known as the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. These deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate."
This short video from NOAA is an excellent summary that explains the ENSO cycle. The video has a particular emphasis on how changing patterns in the Pacific Ocean currents can impact weather patterns in various regions of the United States.
The lingering use of Catalan in Alghero, Italy, is a reminder of how Mediterranean cultures have blended for centuries. But the language is fading there today.
In an age when people cling ever more tightly to national identity, the lingering use of Catalan in Alghero is a reminder of the ways Mediterranean cultures have blended for centuries, rendering identity a fluid thing. But while the traditional insularity of Alghero has helped to preserve Catalan, the language is struggling to survive, even here.
Prior to Catalon’s attempt to gain independence from Spain last year, I was unaware that there was a region of Spain that was so culturally not Spanish. This article then introduced me to the Catalonian people living in Italy. In Italy, the Catalon culture is not even close to as widespread and important as it is in Spain. The language is scarcely used in the one region (Alghero) where it was most prevalent a century ago— in fact only about 25% of people here speak Catalon as their primary language. The article explains that the Catalon culture is dying off in Alghero, unlike in Spain where people are so passionate that they want independence. One of the biggest reasons the article atributes this to is the fact that Italy’s government has not been oppressive of Alghero’s population. There are signs, menus, and people who have spoken the language with no government opposition, so people do not feel the need to protect the culture. On the contrary, the Spanish government strongly pushes Spanish culture onto the Catalonians, which is why they fight for independence. Catalonians feel threatened in Spain and try to defend, whereas in Italy the Catalonians don’t feel threatened and don’t have a reason to cling so strongly to their culture. Younger people in Alghero speak almost exclusively Italian and education in Catalon is very rare. This is interesting to me, because unlike the physical connection that Catalonia has with the rest of Spain, Alghero is quite distanced from the rest of Italy.
The distance seems like it would make it easier for Alghero’s residents to maintain their Catalonian roots, but the opposite is happening. The article touches on this a bit, as it explains that since Alghero is on Sardinia, Sardinian is the most common ethnic group. Sardinian culture and language is more prevalent in the area and Catalonians simply don’t have the numbers to compete. Another explanation for this is the highly centralized way in which Italian education is set up. Schoolchildren’s education is uniform with the education that the rest of Italy and has a much stronger Italian influence than proud Catalonians would like. The final thought I had after reading this article was a question: If Catalonia somehow gained independence from Spain would they attempt to obtain Sardinia as part of their nation in order to take control of their fellow Catalonians?
The Mediterranean region is a good example of the fact that borders do not always indicate identity, a concept I looked at in a few articles on North America. Due to trade relationships that date back thousands of years, cultures were dispersed and blended throughout the Mediterranean. This has led to some interesting things, such as Catalan being spoken in Alghero, on the Italian island of Sardinia.
Greenland has the world's highest suicide rate. And teen boys are at the highest risk.
Like native people all around the Arctic — and all over the world — Greenlanders were seeing the deadly effects of rapid modernization and unprecedented cultural interference. American Indians and Alaska Natives (many of whom share Inuit roots with Greenlanders) had already seen many of their communities buckle under the same pressures.
This is an incredibly tragic story; if I could add one word to the sub-title, it would read, "It's not JUST the dark the kills you." I'm not an environmental determinist, but we can't pretend that the climate/darkness don't play some role in Greenland having 6x the suicide rates of the United States. See also this article/photo gallery about a similar suicide problem in the indigenous far north of Canada.

No one should be surprised that more developed societies are more wasteful societies. It is not just personal wasting of food at the house and restaurants that are the problem. Perfectly edible food is thrown out due to size (smaller than standards but perfectly normal), cosmetics (Bananas that are shaped 'funny') and costumer preference (discarded bread crust).
This is an intriguing perceptive on our consumptive culture, but it also is helpful in framing issues such as sustainability and human and environmental interactions. In a technologically advanced societies that are often removed form the land where the food they eat originates, food waste needs to made more explicit.

Scientists have found a fossil dating back at least 16 million years of a female shrimplike creature with enormous fossilized sperm in her reproductive tract. It's a unique example of a female that copulated just before she died and started to turn to stone.
The fossil is a display of "ancient sex with gargantuan sperm," says the lead scientist, Renate Matzke-Karasz of German's Ludwig-Maximilian-University, via e-mail. "We have here direct evidence of a recent mating. All the co-authors are still amazed by the findings."
The post-coital specimen is an ancient example of a mussel shrimp, technically known as an ostracod. These tiny animals have hinged shells like a mussel's and live today in watery places from flower pots to the ocean, where they subsist on detritus in the water. The fossil specimens were discovered in an Australian cave where large numbers of bats roosted millions of years ago. The bats unwittingly made a major contribution to science: Their guano, Matzke-Karasz says, supplied chemicals that helped preserve the finest details of the mussel shrimps' anatomy.
The scientists found four fossilized female mussel shrimp and one male mussel shrimp with sperm in their bodies, some of the oldest fossilized sperm found to date. When they examined the fossilized male, "we almost couldn't believe our eyes," Matzke-Karasz says. The animal was replete with "sperm (that) looked like little ropes, exactly how modern ostracod giant sperm look!"
The mussel shrimp may be small, but the modern male is mighty, producing so-called "giant sperm" that can be four times longer than the animal itself. Only a handful of other animals, including some flies and moths, make giant sperm, whose purpose is still unclear.
The new study, appearing in this week's Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, shows that male mussel shrimp may have been deploying giant sperm for more than 140 million years, says micropaleontologist David Horne of Britain's Queen Mary University of London.
In "hops", you say?!? HA!! We, the progeny of mill-hunks (a term of endearment referring steel workers) accept your challenge to a beer drinking.......oh......wait......did you mean hoops? Well, in that case, good sir, yes, your NBA team should have no trouble rolling all over our non-existent NBA franchise!! Shall we talk football, hockey, or even baseball?!? And, start planting more trees!!! ;-)

Initially I wasn't really sure what I thought about this resturant. My initial reaction was that I hated it and thought it was a bad idea. I to seemed like we were supporting another country by serving their food. However there is a cultural experience involved when we go out to eat. Many people go out to italian resturants to get the experience of italy and etc. However after really thinking about it the US is typically in conflict with another countries government, not the people who live there. By selling the food of countries we are in conflict with almost gives us an idea about what exactly the culture is there. I think it almost educates people in such a way. I think that might be the purpose on the resturant. By eating at this resturant it opens peoples eyes to what people of that particular country are consuming on a regular day basis. That experience can be good or bad, but either way it still opens up peoples eyes to the type of world other countries are living in. I think by eating there you open yourslef up to a new cultural experience, which I belive is exactly the point that the kitchen is trying to serve. Even if it is through food.
Conflict Kitchen serves foods from the countries the United States is in conflict with. They might be doing this to show Americans a little bit of how their culture is b eating their foods.
