Half a pint of pistachio gelato, 2 ounces limoncello, 1 ounce #espresso.
The gelato melted very quickly, even in the frozen glass, before adding the chilled limoncello and hot espresso. Still good, but I’ll probably make it once more and forget to do it again.

In Poland’s golden hour, a looming threat to Europe’s unity
Across Europe’s newest economic powerhouse,
where living standards have leapfrogged Japan’s and are on course to surpass Spain’s and Israel’s,
incomes are surging, shops are buzzing and borders are secure
— at least for now.

Poland, once a dreary outback in Cold War communism’s slough of despond, is now in Europe’s first rank in economic, diplomatic, military and political terms.
Situated in Cent…

In Poland’s golden hour, a looming threat to Europe’s unity
A nation is torn between its democratic promise and the pull of authoritarian politics.

Spins of SMBHs in distant low luminosity AGNs
We estimated radiative efficiency, spin and SMBH mass values for sample of 33 distant low luminosity AGNs. The distribution of the estimated spin values (majority of objects have a spin greater than 0.8) is fairly typical for many types of AGNs. The dependence of the estimated spin values on the estimated SMBH masses shows strong correlation between them, which suggests a rapid increase in spin with mass, i.e. that the main mechanism of mass growth in this case is disk accretion. We did not fin…

JADES reveals a large population of low mass black holes at high redshift
JWST has revealed a large population of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the distant universe, which are challenging our understanding of early massive black hole seeding and growth. We expand the exploration of this population to lower luminosities by stacking $\sim 600$ NIRSpec grating spectra from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) at $3

One hundred years ago today, downtown Santa Barbara was devastated by an earthquake centered just offshore.
The main commercial district, State Street, was in ruins. Some buildings completely collapsed
— the vulnerability in their designs laid bare by the power of Mother Nature. Around a dozen people died.
Yet, despite the destruction, the great Santa Barbara earthquake remains relatively obscure, seismically speaking,
even in a state notorious for its shaking.

Quake devastated Santa Barbara 100 years ago. What can it teach us?
In California, where the next “Big One” is an always-looming threat, some lessons learned from the 1925 Santa Barbara quake resonate even 100 years later, experts say.
