Bad News Is Coming
imagine nasa announced todaythat they found aliens. bacteria on mars, weird alien fishin the oceans of europa, and also ancient alien ruins on titan. wouldn't that be great? well, no. it would be horrible news, devastating even. it could mean that the end of humanityis almost certain and that it might be coming soon. why?
why would the most excitingdiscovery of our lifetime be bad? let us imagine the development of life, from its inception to us today, as a flight of stairs. the first step is dead chemistrythat needs to assemble itself into self-replicating patterns,stable and resilient, but also able to change and evolve. the second step is for our early life tobecome more complex,
able to build more complicated structures, and use the available energymuch more efficiently. on the next step, these cells combineto become multicellular beings, enabling unbelievable varietyand further complexity. the step above sees the speciesevolve big brains, enabling the use of tools, cultureand shared knowledge, which creates even higher complexity. the species can now become thedominant lifeform on its planet, and change it according to its needs.
first shy attempts to leave itsplanet are happening. this is where we are now. it's in the nature of life as we know it to reach out, to cover everyniche it can. and since planets have a limitedcarrying capacity and lifespan, if a species wants to survive, it will look for more placesto spread to. so the steps above the currentones seem logical: colonize your own solar system,
then spread further to reachother stars, to the possible final step:becoming a galaxy-wide civilization. it's very likely that this is a universalprinciple for civilizations, no matter where they're from. if a species is competitive and drivenenough to take control over its planet, they'll probably not stop there. we know that there are up to 500 billionplanets in the milky way, at least 10 billion earth-like planets. many have been around billionsof years longer than earth.
but we're observing zerogalactic civilizations. we should be able to see something... ...but there's nothing. space seemsto be empty and dead. this means something is preventing livingthings from climbing the staircase, beyond the step we're on right now. ...something that makes becominga galactic civilization extremely hard, maybe impossible. this is the great filter.
...a challenge or danger sohard to overcome, that it eliminates almost everyspecies that encounters it. there are two scenarios: one means we are incrediblyspecial and lucky, the other one means we are doomedand practically already dead. it depends on where the filteris on our staircase: behind, or ahead of us? scenario 1: scenario 1:the filter is behind us.
we are the first. if the filter is behind us, that means that one of the steps we passed is almost impossible to take. which step could it be? is life itself extremely rare? it's very hard to make predictionsabout how likely it is for life to emerge from dead things. there is no consensus.
some scientists think it develops everywherewhere the conditions are right; others think that earth mightbe the only living place in the universe. another candidate is the stepof complex animal cells. a very specific thing happenedon this step, and as far as we know, it happenedexactly once. a primitive hunter cellswallowed another cell, but instead of devouring it,the two cells formed a union. the bigger cell provided shelter,
took care of interacting with theenvironment and providing resources, while the smaller one used itsnew home and free stuff, to focus on providing a lot of extraenergy for its host. with the abundant energy, the host cellcould grow more than before and build new and expensive thingsto improve itself, while the guest became thepowerhouse of the cell. these cells make up everyanimal on the planet. maybe there are billions of bacteria-covered planets in the milky way, but not a single one, apart from us,
has achieved our level of complexity. ...or intelligence. we humans feel very smart andsophisticated with our crossword puzzles and romantic novels. but a big brain, is first and foremost, a very expensive evolutionary investment. they are fragile, they don't help in a fistfight with a bear, they cost enormous amounts of energy,
and despite them, it took modern humans, 200,000 years to get from sharp sticksto civilization. being smart does not mean you getto win automatically. maybe intelligence is just not so great, and we're lucky that it worked out for us. scenario 2: scenario 2:the filter is ahead of us. plenty of others died already. a great filter before us is orders of magnitude more dangerous
than anything we encountered so far. even if a major disaster killed most of us or threw us back thousands of years, we would survive and recover. and if we can recover, even if it takes a million years, then it's not a great filter, but just a roadblock to an eventual galactic civilization. on universal timescales, even millions of years are just the blink of an eye. if a great filter really lies before us, it has to be so dangerous, so purely devastating and powerful,
that it has destroyed most, if not all, advanced civilizations in our galaxy over billions of years. a really daunting and depressing hypothesis is that once a species takes control over its planet, it's already on the path to self-destruction. technology is a good way to achieve that. it needs to be something that's so obvious, that virtually everybody discovers it,
and so dangerous, that its discovery leads almost universally to an existential disaster. a large-scale nuclear war, nanotechnology that gets out of control, genetic engineering of the perfect super bug, an experiment that lights the whole atmosphere on fire. it might be a super-intelligent ai that accidentally (or purposely) destroys its creators. or things that we can't even see coming right now.
or it's way simpler: species competitive enough to take over their planet necessarily destroy it while competing with each other for resources. maybe there are runaway chain reactions in every ecosystem that once set in motion, are not fixable. and so once a civilization is powerful enough to change the composition of its atmosphere, they make their planet uninhabitable 100% of the time. let's hope that that's not the case.
if the filter is ahead of us, our odds are really bad. what we can hope for. this is why finding life beyond earth would be horrible. the more common life is in the universe, and the more advanced and complex it is, the more likely it becomes that a filter is in front of us. bacteria would be bad, small animals would be worse,
intelligent life would be alarming. ruins of ancient alien civilizations... would be horrible. the best case scenario for us right now is that mars is sterile, that europa's oceans are devoid of life, and the vast arms of the milky way harbor only empty oceans hugging dead continents. ...that there are billions of empty planets waiting to be discovered
and to be filled up with life. billions of new homes... waiting for us... to finally arrive. how likely is it that we'll find life outside of earth that is similar to us? well, that depends on how many planets there are out there in their star's goldilocks zone-- the area around the star where water can be liquid. because stars come in all sizes and configurations,
this zone is different for every star system and requires a little bit of physics to figure out. if that sounds like fun to you, this quiz from brilliant helps to break down the maths for exactly how this is calculated. brilliant is a problem-solving website that teaches you to think like a scientist by guiding you through problems. they take concepts like these break them up, into bite-sized bits present clear thinking in each part, and then build back up to an interesting conclusion.

Backless
hi guys! i'm back again now last time you saw me, i was spending all of my precious work hours, searching for the perfect bra. i found a good bra for when i wear my plunging necklines i even found aseamless solution for when it's time for me to slip into a sexy silky top but i've still got a problem i want to wear a backless dress,
so i'm here to test out a few backless bras now this bra was among my favorites because it has a strap! straps our a girl's best friend especially if you have boobsthat sag it's natural, it's a part of life the strap makes me feel extrasecure and it gives me a little bit of a boost my only con is that it adheres toyour skin
with that sticky adhesive and everybody knows that once you startsweating that sticky ain't so sticky anymore but other than that this isn't a bad one! i'd give this bra 4 out of 5 stars bra number two was a shipment straightfrom amazon prime and i have to say it's my favorite of the bunch i can whip and nae nae without abandon
i can get in formation without fear of a nip slip so this one is definitely going to be added to my arsenal i would give it a solid 5stars ladies, if you see this bra you need to toss it it's a lie, don't waste your time don't waste your energy, and don't wasteyour backless dress there's no adhesive there's no support
i have no way of knowing how that contraption is supposed to work... all i know is that it doesn't! i give that 0 out of 5 stars if there's one thing that i learned from that last bra it's that plastic and skin do not mix! first of all, it's not a breathable material so that thin slither of skin beneath that plastic is hot, sweaty and sticky
not cute when i'm trying to goout in my backless dress and let's be honest, i already have a little back fat and this tight ass strap did nothing but exacerbate the problem it's a hard pass for me! this bra gets a 1 out of 5 stars at least it held up i had high hopes forthis number because it's not a backless bra
it's a backless body suit so it offers the promises to smooth you out and give you a very seamless silhouette however, i find that it gives me a little bit of that unnatural puckering in certain places you'd be better off free-balling it than going with this free-balling is not the right word! so i got to give this one: a 2 out of 5 stars
there you have it! i tested out a few backless bras and i think i came out with a winner if you guys have any suggestions, make sure you leave a comment below and subscribe to elle on youtube

Must I Paint You a Picture?: The Essential Billy Bragg. Must I Paint You a Picture is a generous, two-disc, 40-track survey of Bragg's career to date. The tracklisting was apparently assembled with the help of Bragg's fans, who were asked to vote for their favourites on Bragg's website, but this democratic initiative has only been taken so far: while "Little Time Bomb", for example, was a more popular choice than, say, "The Boy Done Good", the latter is included and the former isn't. It would, of course, be uncharitable to suggest that this is reflective of the authoritarian instincts that lurk inside most socialists.
At any rate, though Bragg has always been chiefly characterised as a political songwriter, his best work has always been that which deals with the politics of the personal: there are few more acute summations of the eternal failure of the male and female to make sense to each other than his "How can you lie there and think of England when you don't even know who's in the team?" Bragg's superb love songs and love-gone-wrong songs are well represented here, from the angry, naive scratchings of "The Milkman of Human Kindness" to such older, if no wiser, musings as "Moving the Goalposts" and "Sulk". Curiously, his older, politically motivated songs now feel like they've reacquired an urgency they lacked during a 1990s largely devoid of stark ideological boundaries, when they sounded rather like quaint period pieces. The so-called war on terror and the increasing discomfort about global trade both have ready made soundtracks in "Between the Wars" and "There is Power in a Union". --Andrew Mueller #Must #Paint #Picture #Essential #Billy #Bragg

Back to the Roots
you'd almost think humanity wishes to annihilate itself. forty infections a day... the infected are becoming suspicious. ...for those affected will have whatever they need. new footage. -- that's what we need. don't be afraid! expressive... we must keep our distance from the healthy.
...convincing footage. that's the only way for humanity to survive. you weren't expecting that in the city this stage of the disease is denied... ...as is the entire situation out here. here we don't discern life and death anymore. we try to embrace our existence as much as we can... ...whatever kind of body we're in. is he still able to feel anything?
i think so. in the city... ...everything that makes us human gets erased... ...merely for the semblance of survival. as you all know, voices have been raised recently, ...doubting the existence of an outside world suitable for the infected. whoever is dispensable... ...ends up out here. i'm infected...
...but i'm fine. never did we give them specific reasons for that. and to finally prove that... ...our media organ provided us... ...with its best employee. i suppose we've got what we need now, don't we? and the truth? you don't care about what happens here! what did you expect?
that everybody tells you how wonderful it is out here? you do understand the significance of this issue? you have to complete this mission. why should i do that? ayla? even if it seems hopeless out here, life has more value here... ...than in the city. here, ...here we can feel again...
...we help each other, we work together... ...we have friends. we can be human again.

Christmas Hits: 50 Festive Favourites. The first disc of Christmas Hits is dominated by songs from the 70s and early 80s--the golden era of the mobile DJ and Christmas number ones, when people sang about "Father Christmas" or "snow" and couples tenderly proclaimed their love by calling each other "scumbag" or "maggot". And there are plenty of pop songs here that although not ostensibly about Christmas, are certainly in the spirit of things. Just listen to "The Power of Love" (Frankie Goes To Hollywood's poignant last single) or E17's "Stay Another Day" and try not to weep openly through Robson & Gerome's "I Believe", no really, try.
Disc two is more laid back, with classics from Bing Crosby, Elvis and Tony Bennett mingled with some soulful covers of traditional songs like "Silent Night" and modern classics such as "Last Christmas" and "Walking in the Air". Unfortunately, both of the latter are tortured by Human Nature and Declan Galbraith respectively, and its here that the compilation starts to fall apart. Some of the covers are interesting, but often they highlight just how much better the originals were. There have been plenty of great versions of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", not to mention the original so why do we get Michael Bolton? The inclusion of Eva Cassidy's "Over the Rainbow" is also a little confusing. It's poignant sure, but since when has it been associated with Christmas? Still, there's plenty here to keep you amused until its time to put the baubles and tinsel back in the loft. --Jenny Winwood #Christmas #Hits #Festive #Favourites
