  2. Late Miocene Euphrates River Drained Into A Partially Desiccated Eastern Mediterranean

    [the paleogeographic reconstruction is outstanding, including the strength and information conveyed so well in that figure, kudos!]

    “Although the Euphrates River - stretching ~3,000 km across Western Asia - has shaped the region’s geology for millions of years, the timing of its origin and the evolution of its course remain enigmatic. So far, two contrasting hypotheses have been proposed to explain the fluvial system’s Late Neogene path: termination in Anatolia at a palaeo-lake or the Mediterranean, or a southeastward continuation to Arabia. Here [they] use seismic-reflection and topographic data to show that two previously identified sedimentary accumulations - deposited during the terminal phase of the Late Miocene Messinian salinity crisis - resulted from dual riverine systems that drained into a partially desiccated eastern Mediterranean before avulsing toward the Persian Gulf and converging to form the modern Euphrates River. From probabilistic sediment-budget modelling, [they] show that although the latest Messinian drainage basins were an order of magnitude smaller than their present-day extents, the total palaeo-discharge exceeded that of the modern Tigris, Euphrates and Nile rivers combined, indicating intense palaeo-precipitation and high palaeo-relief. These results suggest that plate-margin deformation both controlled the fluvial avulsions that diverted the Euphrates River from the Anatolian–Eurasian Plate to the Arabian Plate, and established the conditions necessary for the development of the alluvial Fertile Crescent…”

  3. "Stairway to Heaven" is a song by the English #rock band Led Zeppelin, released on 8 November 1971 on the band's untitled fourth studio album (commonly known as #LedZeppelinIV), by #AtlanticRecords. Composed by the band's guitarist #JimmyPage with lyrics written by lead singer #RobertPlant, it is widely regarded as one of the greatest rock songs of all time. The song has three sections, each one progressively increasing in #tempo and #volume.

  4. @ScienceAlert @sciencealert-ScienceAlert
    An insightful research by P.T.Schoenemann et al. (2026)addresses the question of whether #Neanderthals truly lived up to the stereotype of their common perception as brutish and #intellectuallyimpaired. The authors showed that the variability in #brain #volume among #Homosapiens is greater than that between H. sapiens and Neanderthals not supporting a significant intellectual difference.

  5. Aux Arènes (Jacques Réda)

    Illustration      Aux Arènes La petite lectrice des Arènes de Lutèce Que lisait-elle dans ce gros volume ? Était-ce Un catalogue, un manuel ou quelque insipide roman ? Je dis : elle lisait, alors qu'apparemment Rien ne peut l'empêcher de lire encore des années : Elle est en marbre blanc. Des voix époumonées Montent du milieu de l'arène où l'on joue au football. La lumière laiteuse y mousse dans un bol. Tout autour, des arbres savants s'adressent des harangues, Des […]

  6. The Mad Frank's Dreams: Post 6 Chue’s Con 2 of 2 parts

    “How much do they pay you?” Chue asked. Her voice was still hoarse, but her words were clear, the #volume steady.

    “What’s it to ya?” the elder said.

    “Because whatever it is, it’s not enough,” Chue said. “Take us out of here, and you can claim a reward for the lady over there. Then take your money, go to another city, and live like nobles for the rest of your life.”

    “Ya turn us in and get the whole reward. Hah! Serpents, that’s what Prophet calls ya jeses,” Cudgel said.

    “You can collect it all. Once we get out of here, I’ll vanish if you want. The Moon Prince will pay you a fortune to get her back. Why settle for a few spilled grains when you can have the whole harvest?”

    “Juda Prince,” the first man laughed. “He’ll pay, oh, he’ll pay—pay in lamb’s blood, that’s what the pilgrim said. Fire and brimstone, aye, he’ll bring it down. Burn out the serpents, the dogs, all of ’em. Prophet says so—us clean ones take what’s left.”

    He pulled a wooden crucifix with a crude iron nail hammered into it from under his robes. The tip was bloody where it had gouged its bearer. His brother produced a similar one.

    Since she couldn’t convince these two zealots to help, she decided to gather what information she could. “This prophet, he wouldn’t be The Frank?” She omitted the word “mad.” It wouldn’t do to antagonize them.

    “God speaks to that one. Promised to bring down fire on the land,” Cudgel said while the elder nodded.

    “Been here too long,” said the one with the tray, putting it down on the floor. “Ya be feeding the jese princess when she awakes.”

    With that, the two departed, while Chue slumped against the wall.

  7. "Subspecies hamblensi, you say? Incredibly rare." The elderly academic closed his eyes and gestured towards the bookshelf. "The last sighting was in... 2079. September. You'll find the reference in #Volume 17, page 245."

    "That's amazing," whispered the young student. "How does he do it?"

    The older one grinned. "Digital index implant."

  8. #TIL that these are called a #volume in #bouldering. In bouldering, there are #paths, which are well-designed #climbing routes, to practice specific skills used in bouldering. In a bouldering gym, a path is built with plastic elements called volumes. This volume is part of a path made for kids, and has the shape of an elephant in a #cartoon #style.

    EXIT: Not a volume but a grip! (See reply to this for details - thanks @codebyjeff )
