Heute vor 12 Jahren: Am 14. November 2013 endete das HEU-Kaufabkommen von 1993 zwischen Russland und den USA. Es wurden 500 Tonnen hochangereichertes #Uran (HEU) aus Atomwaffen in niedrig angereichertes Uran umgewandelt und in den USA zu Brennstoff für Kernkraftwerke verarbeitet.

Finishing up Blood Glacier, as I thought I'd seen it and was making sure (I haven't, I've just seen something similar). This one's weird and maybe a little cheesy.. I only noticed partway through that unfortunately, it's badly dubbed in English- like, VERY badly. I hate dubbed stuff. Wish it was subbed, but there's no choice for that on Tubi. Just this weird dubbed version. But I'm just here for the gore anyway 😂 which this one's delivering, a little.

Blood Glacier (2013)
At a climate research station in the Alps, the scientists are stunned as the nearby melting glacier is leaking a red liquid. It quickly turns to be very special juice — with unexpected genetic effects on the local wildlife.

I think it’s time for new brake discs on the 2010 Tesla Roadster, these used to be slotted. The new ones are a bit bigger and come with spacers and longer bolts for the front calipers. I put the old discs on soon after I got this car in 2013, about 40k miles ago. Same AP calipers as Lotus Elise, and it was good to get some hands on wrenching time again. #WeirdCarMastodon

I'm not even big on Scarlett Johansson usually, but tried out Under the Skin from 2013 on a whim, and wow, this was a wild one. Some pacing and editing issues (as all modern films seem to have) but I really dug this - the ending is bonkers and then your confusion will all make sense. I do love knowing NOTHING about a film going in.

Good Morning #Canada
Finally, arriving at our our 10th province, Manitoba, and putting this series to rest means no more nightmares. Friendly Manitoba, it says so right on their license plates, also has hundreds of abandoned towns, but today we'll focus on Scarf. Named for William Scarf, not for winter clothing or the more recent term for eating quickly, the settlement began in the 1880s, started to flourish after train service arrived in 1907, and died slowly after train service stopped, with the last residents leaving in the 1980s. But in 2013, the regional mayor decided to sell parcels of land in the ghost town for $10. I wasn't able to find out if this plan to bring Scarf back from the dead was successful, but perhaps the area is cursed. In 2020, a tornado touched down near Scarf, killing two teenagers when their vehicle was swept off the road.

General Relativity Can Prevent a Runaway Greenhouse on Potentially Habitable Planets Orbiting White Dwarfs
Planets orbiting in the habitable zones of white dwarfs have recently been proposed as promising targets for biosignature searches. However, since the white dwarf habitable zone resides at 0.01 - 0.1 AU, planets residing there are subject to tidal heating if they have any orbital eccentricity. Previous work (Barnes & Heller 2013) identified nearby planetary companions as potential roadblocks to habitability of planets around white dwarfs, as such companions could induce secular oscillations in …

Chinese vs. World Bank Development Projects: Insights from Earth Observation and Computer Vision on Wealth Gains in Africa, 2002-2013

Chinese vs. World Bank Development Projects: Insights from Earth Observation and Computer Vision on Wealth Gains in Africa, 2002-2013
Debates about whether development projects improve living conditions persist, partly because observational estimates can be biased by incomplete adjustment and because reliable outcome data are scarce at the neighborhood level. We address both issues in a continent-scale, sector-specific evaluation of Chinese and World Bank projects across 9,899 neighborhoods in 36 African countries (2002 to 2013), representative of 88% of the population. First, we use a recent dataset that measures living cond…

Good Morning #Canada
In honour of #Caturday, today's post is about the little known Parliament Hill Cat Sanctuary that existed from 1955 to 2013. It was a feline colony for a group of strays living on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, in a sanctuary set aside for them. The care of the cats and maintenance of the sanctuary was carried out by volunteers, and the effort was funded by donations.
Cats were brought into Parliament in 1924 to deal with a "mild plague" of rats and mice in the basement of the then brand-new Centre Block. The numbers of rodents soon fell, but when the unneutered cats began to multiply, they were banished to the outdoors overnight in the same year. In 1955, the cats were replaced by chemicals and no longer allowed access to the Parliament buildings, but the sanctuary was set aside for their colony, and volunteers looked after them for the next 6 decades.
