Astronomers Discover the First Population of Binary-Stripped Stars - Technology Org

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/astronomers-discover-the-first-population-of-binary-stripped-stars-technology-org/

Astronomers Discover the First Population of Binary-Stripped Stars - Technology Org

Astronomers at the University of Toronto have discovered a population of massive stars that have been stripped of their outer hydrogen layer by companion stars.

For over a decade, scientists have theorized that approximately one in three massive stars are stripped of their hydrogen envelope in binary systems (systems where two stars are gravitationally bound to one another). Yet, until now, only one possible candidate had been identified.

The findings, published in Science, shed light on the hot helium stars that are believed to be the origins of hydrogen-poor core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers.

“If it turned out that these stars are rare, then our whole theoretical framework for all these different phenomena is wrong, with implications for supernovae, gravitational waves and the light from distant galaxies,” said Maria Drout, assistant professor in the David A. Dunlap department of Astronomy & Astrophysics at the University of Toronto and an associate at the Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics.

“This finding shows these stars really do exist.”

It also opens up possibilities for more detailed research going forward. “For example, predictions for how many neutron star mergers we should see are dependent on the properties of these stars, such as how much material comes off of them in stellar winds,” Drout says. “Now, for the first time, we’ll be able to measure that, whereas people have been extrapolating it before.”

Drout and her colleagues propose that these newly discovered stars will eventually explode as hydrogen-poor supernovae. These star systems are also thought to be necessary to form neutron star mergers.

In fact, the researchers believe that a few objects in their current sample are stripped stars with neutron star or blackhole companions. These objects are at the stage immediately before they become double-neutron-star or neutron-star-plus-blackhole systems that could eventually merge.

“Many stars are part of a cosmic dance with a partner, orbiting each other in a binary system. They’re not solitary giants but part of dynamic duos, interacting and influencing each other throughout their lifetimes,” says Bethany Ludwig, a PhD student in the David A. Dunlap department of Astronomy & Astrophysics and third author on the paper. “Our work sheds light on these fascinating relationships, revealing a universe that is far more interconnected and active than we previously imagined.

“Just as humans are social beings, stars too, especially the massive ones, are rarely alone.”

As stars evolve and expand to become red giants, the hydrogen at the outer edges of one can be stripped by the gravitational pull of its companion star – leaving a very hot helium core exposed. The process can take tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

Stripped stars are difficult to find because much of the light they emit is outside of the visible light spectrum and can be obstructed by dust in the universe or outshone by their companion stars.

Drout and her collaborators began their search in 2016. Having studied hydrogen-poor supernovae during her PhD, Drout set out to find the stripped stars thought to be at the heart of these supernovae during a NASA Hubble postdoctoral fellowship at the Observatories of the Carnegie Institution for Science.

The researchers, who include co-author Ylva Götberg, assistant professor at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria, later designed a survey to look in the ultraviolet part of the spectrum where extremely hot stars emit most of their light. Using data from the Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope, they collected brightness data for millions of stars in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, two of the closest galaxies to Earth.

Ludwig, who developed the first wide-field UV catalogue of the Magellanic Clouds, used UV photometry to detect systems with unusual UV emissions – signaling the possible presence of a stripped star.

The team carried out a pilot study of 25 objects, obtaining optical spectroscopy with the Magellan Telescopes at Las Campanas Observatory between 2018 and 2022, and demonstrated that the stars were hot, small, hydrogen-poor, and in binary systems – all consistent with their model predictions.

Currently, the researchers are continuing to study the stars identified in the paper and expanding their search to find more. They will be looking both within our own Milky Way and nearby galaxies with approved programs on the Hubble Space Telescope, the Chandra X-ray Telescope, the Magellan Telescopes and the Anglo-Australian Telescope.

As part of this publication, all theoretical models and data used to identify these stars have been made public and available to other scientists.

The Pampered Curse: Chapter 5

DISCLAIMER: This story contains diaper usage, humiliation, domination, masturbation/diaper sex, hyperwetting, mental regression, and other ABDL themes. I hope you enjoy!

Commissioned By: BlossomBitchDolly

-------------------------------------------------------------

“Mommy! Mommy! There’s a weird girl on the street!”

“Have you no shame?! What a disgrace you must be to your parents!”

“Hahaha! Hey, babycakes! Trick-or-treat was last Saturday!”

If Edan were to tally up every single embarrassing moment from his life and compile them all into a single highlight reel, he would gladly watch that footage on repeat so long as he could be spared the unreal humiliation he was experiencing in the present. Neither age nor gender nor sexuality nor astrological star sign made any difference. All who were in earshot were coming out of the woodwork to gawk, taunt, and degrade his infantile wardrobe. And worst of all, he couldn’t even blame them. If he had been just another bystander when some idiot came walking down the street dressed like he was, he’d be laughing his ass off. If only he had the luxury of such a lofty perspective.

Instead, Edan found himself waddling along the sidewalk of his very active neighborhood street, his diaper echoing a wealth of crinkles with each step as if the world had strapped an amp to his padding and cranked it up to 11. He didn’t even have his usual walking shoes to help him move faster, with his bare feet collecting dust and dirt as he continued on his warpath to that damned ghost’s mansion.

Unfortunately, by the time Edan found himself passing the final suburban house within his neighborhood, his need to pee had reared its ugly head yet again. “No! If I piss my diaper now, I might never be able to think straight again,” he thought, balling up both fists while he toddled forward. It wasn’t easy with control of his bladder falling to nearly zero but he somehow managed to keep from urinating as he reached the gravel road with the mansion at its end.

Trudging through the grass along the road was quite a difficult feat considering the ridiculously thick padding that Edan was dealing with but it beat walking on a gravel road shoeless. The bumpy terrain nearly had him tripping over himself but his determination and what remained of his speedy reflexes kept him upright. Before long, he spotted the mansion in the distance again, causing him to double his pace as he neared the finish line. His legs were nothing more than jelly as he rounded the structure and staggered up the creaky, wooden steps toward the front door. All the while, his heart threatened to leap out of his chest with how furiously it was pumping.

“Ghosts aren’t real. Ghosts aren’t real. Ghosts aren’t real,” repeated Edan to himself as he raised a fist to the door. For some bizarre reason, there was still a lingering part of himself that refused to face the fact that ghosts were a real and tangible thing as if the diaper alone wasn’t already proof enough. Regardless of what his beliefs were at this point, he’d come this far. Holding in a lungful of air, he reached out and shakily pounded his fist on the grand entrance.

*KNOCK! KNOCK!*

Unable to shake the haunting aura of the mansion, Edan stepped back from the house after two quick knocks, gaining as much distance as possible from the dilapidated structure. However, as he waited for the ghost woman or some other spiritual presence to show up, he found that he was still strikingly alone. It made no sense. Had he made this entire farce up in his head? If so, then the mortifying experience of touring his neighborhood with an overgrown pumpkin of a diaper on his hips would’ve all been for nothing.

Growing furious over the idea that his regression might have somehow been self-inflicted, Edan stormed back up to the door and proceeded to slam his fist repeatedly, his sanity draining all the while. “Open da fuqin doow and ged dis shid off me! Pwease!” he cried, beating the door as he finally broke down and began weeping openly. He no longer cared about his adult, hyper-masculine appearance. He’d shed as many tears as necessary at this point in hopes of guilting his ghostly enemy.

Yet despite his obvious remorse and the clear evidence of a lesson learned, Edan remained on the porch of the estate with not so much as a single ghost in his presence. With nowhere left for his rage to go, he wound his foot back in front of the shabby door. If the ghost wasn’t going to let him in, he had no choice but to break in. Tragically, as his leg swung forward, the diaper obstructed his forward motion enough to throw him off balance, sending him crashing to the floor on his butt. And while thankfully, the over-pump diaper cushioned the blow to his bum, the same could not be said for his bladder. With the impact jostling his body heavily during his harsh descent, he lost what little grip he had on the remnants of his potty training.

*HSSSSSSSSSSS!*

*BZZZZZZZZZZZZ!*

Urine had barely made contact with the inside of his pampers before its vibrations roared to life like a chainsaw slicing through his adulthood. In the blink of an eye, his eyes fully glazed over as the most euphoric sensation he’d ever felt gripped his body, and refused to let go. His mind no longer had the fortitude to resist, losing himself to the carnal desires of his stimulated body.

Opening her front door the second that Edan’s butt collided with the wooden ground as if waiting for her cue, the ghost of Madam Petunia Wick exited onto her porch with a smile that somehow toed the line between kindly and wicked. “Oh, dear! It appears someone left a baby all alone on my doorstep. Surely, a cute little pumpkin like you must have a Mommy hiding around here somewhere,” she said, feigning confusion as she pretended to search the immediate area for Edan’s missing mother, only to turn up empty-handed, “Though, I suppose “little pumpkin” isn’t very appropriate considering a pumpkin of this size would be a sure-fire to win the blue-ribbon at a county fair. No, you, my horny little devil, are Mommy’s HUGE pumpkin.”

As the word, “HUGE,” left Petunia’s mouth, she leaned down and pressed her near-translucent hand into Edan’s diaper, shifting its soggy, pulpy contents around his aching member. Edan’s response was as expected as he threw his head back as far as his neck would arch. With his grasp on reality fading fast, he wasn’t sure why he was here or even where he was anymore. Heck, he probably couldn’t remember his own first name as his brain turned into putty. Madam Wick’s putty, to be precise.

“Fear not, my sweet, autumn child. You can call me Mommy from now on,” said Petunia, gracing Edan with her intoxicating, ear-to-ear grin as she placed her arms around his torso and lifted him into the air with ease, diaper and all. In no time at all, she had him flipped over and cradled in her arms. To anyone watching from afar, the height difference between herself and Edan would’ve made for an awkward look. But from the point of view of the loving mother and her reborn newborn, no image could be more perfect.

Closing the door behind her, Edan was given his first chance to see the inside of the ruins that the formerly pristine mansion had become. Unsurprisingly, its interior was a decaying mess, with caved-in ceilings or crumbling walls making up the once-Grand Hall. For Edan, whose mind was now mushier than his diaper, the ramshackle manor was more frightening than his babyish brain would’ve preferred. He clutched his new Mommy’s torso, hugging his face to her enormous sweater puppies.

“Hehe! I’m sorry, pumpkin. I should’ve done this before we entered. Go ahead and close your eyes, sweetheart. And when you open them, you won’t have to be so scared anymore,” she said, watching her baby with pure, motherly affection as he happily shuttered his eyelids for her. She felt the core of her spirit-form flutter as she leaned in and pressed her lips to Edan’s forehead.

If Edan’s eyes were open, he would’ve borne witness to an incredible sight. Unbeknownst to him, Petunia’s magical kiss was laced with a powerful spell to usher Edan into her realm, welcoming him into the place between life and death. As her spell took effect, the mansion around him slowly returned to its prior glory. Soon, the run-down, old manor that Edan had grown so familiar with had disappeared, replaced with the inviting home that Madam Wick had made for herself and her beloved friends to live out their kinky fantasies for all eternity. And now, Edan was one of them.

As the mansion retook its shape, so too did Petunia’s form. Color returned to her cheeks, filling her face with a warm glow while her tattered, ghostly outfit repaired itself, the fabric shifting and stitching itself back together until her sultry nightgown looked as pristine as it did the day she bought it. The Lady of the house had to look her best, after all.

With Edan’s soul now as bound to the lush mansion as hers was, Petunia lifted her plump lips from her baby boy’s head. “You can open your eyes again. The bad dream is over now,” she said, relishing in the adoring expression and widening smile that befell Edan’s face as he gazed around his new home. Any animosity she may have felt toward him disappeared with his old life. It didn’t matter who he used to be or how rudely he used to behave. He was her baby, now and forever more, “Okay, my yummy pumpkin. After such a long walk, I think it’s time you settled in for a nap. Doesn’t that sound nice?”

Nodding his head rapidly, there wasn’t anything Petunia could say that Edan wouldn’t think sounded nice. He must’ve looked incredibly tired to his Mommy because the moment Petunia mentioned the idea of a nap, his brain and body instantly felt sluggish. A large yawn escaped his mouth, forcing his gob open for several seconds.

“Hehe! That’s a BIG yes from you,” said Petunia, climbing the winding staircase that lined the parameters of the Grand Hall to the second story. As she entered the main upstairs hallway, Edan was treated to a wide variety of blushy sights. From a sissy in the midst of some major nipple torture to a pair of lesbians engaging in a bit of rope play, it appeared that the newspaper had been spot on in its reporting of the fetish-filled house, much to his doughy-eyed delight.

Edan’s delight intensified as Petunia arrived at a pastel blue door near the end of the hallway. Upon opening the soft-colored door, his excitement reached new heights over the nursery that he now had the pleasure of calling home. It was the perfect room for a BIG baby boy like him, with everything he would ever need from an oversized crib and changing table to a seemingly endless supply of both childish and naughty toys.

Laying Edan down on the crib’s soft mattress, Petunia didn’t even bother asking if he needed a change before sleepytime. With a diaper that size, he likely wouldn’t get the chance to test out that changing table for a long time. He didn’t seem to mind, though, raising his arms up and cooing for his Mommy, not a fresh diaper. “So restless for someone so drowsy!” she exclaimed, placing her hands on each of Edan’s cheeks and rubbing them until he was a giggly mess, “I think I may have an idea of how to zap that energy right out of you.”

Resting a hand against Edan’s diaper, Petunia amended her previous spell, permitting Edan to cum so long as it was her hand that instigated it. And since her hand was already nuzzled into the crotch of his plush padding, Edan’s reaction couldn’t have been more predictable.

“H-huhHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMM!!!” moaned Edan, his eyes going cross as his body skipped all of the build-up, launching him into the single most intense climax of his life without any means of bracing himself. His body quivered in Mommy's arms as her touch electrified every sensory neuron in his body. The head of his cock spewed cum into his diaper until his entire pelvis was coated in a thick layer of stringy semen. It was pure ecstasy and he never wanted the blissful feeling to end. Sadly, while he lasted far longer than he ever managed to do his own, his weary body could only go for so long, exhausted from three days of unending stress.

Luckily, Edan would never have the misfortune of feeling such stress again. Not with Petunia watching over him and filling his soul with every infantile desire that she kept locked away within herself. He may have once taunted her for what she enjoyed but now he was going to share in her joy for diapers and all things Little. She landed one, final kiss on Edan’s forehead as his eyes slowly drifted shut. “Sweet dreams, pumpkin. And welcome to your new life.”

THE END.

So I did more readable pics of that Joe in the desert article in case people wanted to read it as well as drool over the pictures!

Full text below the cut

Magic roundabout

For their latest tour of the US, Def Leppard have devised a revolutionary way of presenting their brand of arena rock with a stage set in the centre of the venues and surrounded by the audience. All of which makes for a more intimate and more exciting spectacle, according to Paul Elliott. Desert shots Russell Young

Panic in the round. Diana Ross and Kenny Rogers have lived through it, but Def Leppard claim to be the first rock group ever to play America's ice rinks and basketball stadia on a stage set in the centre and fully surrounded by the audiences.

In one stroke, they're making arena rock a more intimate and more exciting spectacle.

The band are closer to all of the crowd, providing more action as they randomly run to each of the stage's four sides. The lighting is imaginative and the sound, from the amps strung up high above them, penetrates the farthest corners.

On this tour, there's never a bad seat in the house, and the higher you can get, the more dramatic the view. Originally dubbed Mensch's Folly (co-manager Peter Mensch came up with the idea for playing in the round after a new, regular stage set had just been finished to the tune of 100,000 dollars!), this production is proving a great success, leaving the fans breathless... and baffled.

How the hell do Leppard get to and from the stage when there's no visible means of escape through the massed paying public?

The Harry Houdinis of rock are giving nothing away.

Stretched out in just swimming trunks and shades, poolside at a star-infested LA hotel (U2, Chrissie Hynde, Jamie Lee Curtis and a few English footballers, past and present, were all hanging out), singer Joe Elliot remains tight-lipped.

"It's not a case of paranoia that we don't want to be spotted. It's the element of surprise; we like to think that everybody goes home wondering how the f*** we got in there in the first place."

"Maybe we slid down to the stage on batpoles. Or maybe we were under the stage from soundcheck onwards."

Maybe.

Out of the dozen American dates that Leppard took in before they reached the West Coast at San Diego, only two have be been played with the stage at one end.

Phoenix, Arizona, was one; a fiery gig, but one which proved them right in thinking that, for the thousands of Joe Sixpacks and rockin' chicks, looking the band right in the eye one or two at a time is a whole lot more fun than squinting, as per usual, at five comparatively tiny and static blurs.

As they continually got in each other's way at Phoenix it also became

obvious that they'd half forgotten how to play to an audience straight ahead.

Playing is the round isn't easy or always possible (in Britain, only Birmingham's NEC could accommodate the 40 tons of gear that has to be hung from the roof). Yet it's different and fresh for band and fans alike.

Joe relishes the challenge, albeit an exhausting one.

"Well, I'd be a liar if I said it wasn't exhausting. The first night we did in the round was like the first gig of the 'Hysteria' tour, in Dublin I think. We did eight days' rehearsal on that stage before the first show, but we still ended up trying to fill the stage too much, and by the end of 'Hit and Run' everybody was looking for a bucket to throw up into."

"After three gigs though, we were really cookin'. It is exhausting, but now we've reached a certain fitness peak we can deal with it, and the set's paced well enough to take care of itself. I enjoy getting kinda hot and sweaty anyway."

Surely this tour will take a lot out of you?

"No," he insists, voice dry and croaky with the heat and dust of the previous night's show. "In fact, I think this tour's gonna be better than anything before, cos we're a lot more prepared for it."

Seven weeks ago Joe gave up booze, he doesn't smoke, and parties as little as possible.

"Now I can go onstage and perform better. The most important thing to me is those two hours a night, and if the other 22 have to be really boring then so be it."

Guitarist Phil Collen was the first to quit drinking a good eight months ago, although that afternoon his voice was rougher than Joe's from the strain of doing plenty of backing vocals.

"It's demanding on Phil and me and, basically, when you can't sing you sound shitty, and when you sound shitty you sound like a shit band. When you don't drink there's no point in going to clubs."

"I'd rather have a quick grapefruit juice back at the hotel bar and go watch Platoon or something. I mean. I'd rather go to a club till five in the morning cos I'm wide awake with all the adrenalin, but I know I can't sing the night after if I do, and for the sake of entertaining myself, I'm not gonna piss off 15,000 kids the following night by singing like Lemmy or somebody."

"No disrespect to the guy," he smiles, "but he wouldn't suit the songs that we do."

Panic in the round?

"Oh it's a constant panic. Under the stage, if one wire wasn't plugged in it'd never get found, and it only takes one person getting their gig wrong to screw up the whole show. So far it hasn't happened."

If panic does rule this tour, it's being played down remarkably well. Over three shows in Tucson, Phoenix, and San Diego (the latter their best gig of the tour so far), the only apparent concerns were for Joe's and Phil's voices.

The only problem drummer Rick Allen has found was walking through the crowd one night, heavily disguised, while unwittingly carrying a piece of paper stuck to his back by guitarist Steve Clark which read 'I am Rick Allen'. And even then the crowd didn't fall for it! Who's he trying to kid?

Clearly, it's the ambitious staging that's the novelty of Def Leppard's US tour, not Rick. He's now so adept with one hand and two feet that he's itching to get a new kit that can keep up with his own rate of progress.

"The stage show is impressive and it is a distraction," nods Joe, "but to be quite honest, I used to think we'd get a lot of people who'd be just peeping through the cymbals to have a look and see where it used to be, y'know, but it hasn't happened, in England or here."

"Basically, it all happened so long ago that people don't care. Being on tour two and a half years after the accident, people just seem to accept it. It's like when Archie Gemmill shaved his beard off (for the uninitiated, Archie Gemmill is a gnome-like ex-Scottish international footballer). He didn't look like Archie Gemmill any more, but after two and a half years, who cares?"

Who indeed?

"There's nothing short of playing upside down next time to top this. The novelty probably is taking a bit of weight off Rick, but at the same time, when it features him, it features him more. He's not hidden behind the rest of us."

"We can either stay in the round in America for the rest of our careers, or we can go back to playing at one end, which'd be a bit of a downer. I'd like to think that we'd play in the round on the next tour too, even if we couldn't play outside cos you'd have to get four helicopters to fly everything from each corner."

Is touring the US like coming home?

"Not really. It's more like going away," he laughs. "In the sense of coming home to the safety of knowing that you can play to a lot of people, then yeah, I suppose it is. Yet in a way it was like starting from scratch."

"We'd kept the cult of 25-year-old males, but we'd lost the little girls. Now they're coming back cos the record's really taking off, and that's why the halls are filling up."

Sure enough, there were plenty of boob tubes in among the beerguts and baseball caps at each show.

"We've not done bad business anywhere other than a few poxy Iittle towns. But I don't get off on business figures. Your bank balance is your own business and it should be that way with a band.

"I'm too sensible a person to let money f*** me up - it's not that important to me. If I had 200 dollars in my pocket and I was hungry I'd sooner just go and have a Big Mac."

And while he does cut a good rock star figure, Joe's Yorkshire brogue still gives him away. Through all their success, Def Leppard haven't gotten precious or affected or untouchable.

There is no Leppard myth. Their bus still stops on an overnight dash fro San Diego up to Los Angeles so that half of them can stumble out into the dark to water the cacti. But even then a pursuing carload of fans pulled up for a gawp.

Def Leppard's current sales figures are impressive. Already a surprise number one LP in the UK (nobody could've been more shocked than the band themselves), 'Hysteria' is edging towards the three million mark in the States at the rate of at Ieast 100,000 per week.

That's way short of 'Pyromania''s seven million plus, but it's still competitive with the three million a piece for 'Bad' and 'The Joshua Tree' - and it's not finished yet.

Peter Mensch reckons that, nowadays, hit singles are more vital than ever to a rock band's survival. A roll of three has broken the previously difficult British market, and in America too they're beginning to come after the initial failure of 'Women'.

'Animal' is picking up the momentum to carry it into the Top 20, and Joe feels that there'll be more to follow.

"I seriously believe that we've got up to five hit singles on this record, even 'Rocket', although it's such an unusual song and such a change from something like 'Sugar', which was an obvious stab at the commercial market."

That's a frank admission.

"Well, it is obvious. The chorus is three chords. I wrote it like that cos it's all I can play. I always have to think commercially. I can't write 'Gods Of War'.

"When I pick up a guitar, I tend to play 'Wild Thing' a lot better than 'All Along The Watchtower'. 'Sugar' was an obvious attempt at a single, as was 'Animal' to a certain extent, although that was a little less obvious, yet it was a bigger hit in Britain by a long way, so there's no set rule."

"But Peter's totally right. You can't survive without hit singles these days cos AOR radio in America isn't responsible for breaking bands in America any more. Bon Jovi's 'Raise Your Hands' was a great live song, but it was hardly played on the radio, so it had nothing to do with 'Slippery When Wet' selling eight million copies. That was through the singles."

"There was a stage where people were snobby about having hits, that it wasn't credible. That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I like the idea of being on Top Of The Pops and on a poster on the back of Jackie. I find it funny."

"About 98 per cent of our stuff is tongue in cheek anyway. When you've got a rhinoceros on one of your videos you can't take yourselves that seriously!"

One consistent criticism of Def Leppard is their live performance; in terms of pure sound quality, the five just can't match the lavish sweep of their last two albums, which is hardly surprising.

Realistically, though, this criticism only applies to the song 'Hysteria' (the band's latest single) at present. While every other number, whatever tempo, sounds full and vibrant, 'Hysteria' still seems a touch clumsy and pushed.

As a particularly cocky squirrel cranes its neck and begins lapping up the pool water, Joe sits up on his sun lounger, skin still white as a milk bottle, and agrees.

"I think we recreate 'Hysteria' (the album) and 'Pyromania' better than we ever did before, but there's still certain things you can't physically do. When we do the track 'Hysteria', Sav (bass player Rick Savage) and Phil are doing harmonies that are done with about 200 voices on the record.

"We've always been a band who've wanted to get it right on record. It's the only opportunity you have to try to create your own perfection or whatever. And live, you go out to entertain."

"If you want perfection you stay at home and listen to the record. If something's a bit flat live, it's because someone's probably doing a double somersault while they're doing that flat chord!"

"I don't really stand still at all, and you can only really sing properly when you're stood still. But if I did, it'd look silly. I might sound out of breath sometimes, but wouldn't you doing what I'm doing?"

He shrugs his shoulders.

"It ain't an exact copy, but I don't think it lacks that much. There are nights when I can't hack it as well as I'd like, but that's because I've been hacking it really well for the previous four evenings and I'm just shot. Last night I sang OK, but half my job isn't singing, it's getting an audience going."

"The thing is, we set such a standard with our records. Things like 'Tear It Down' (in the UK, the B-side of 'Animal') sound as good, if not better, live. But if we did ten 'Tear It Down''s we'd just become an average rock band."

"What we do on record, five people can't physically do, but we don't want to take out an orchestra, we want it to be us, and we'd rather sound a bit weaker and know that it's us."

Maybe 'weak' isn't such a good word. If 'Hysteria' sounds ragged then it also sounds human. Better that than cheat with tapes, as Whitesnake's Rudy Sarzo was convinced Leppard did.

After all, Def Leppard's sometimes slow, sometimes breakneck rise both over here and over there owes something to polish, but a whole lot more to pure guts.

As you walked down the base corridors, yours and Cam's shoulders brushed together. As Sam came out of a different hall she smiled at you two as she fell into step beside you.

"Hey guys, I thought you left already."

"I'm heading out now." You commented.

"And I just got a couple more things to do." Cam added.

"Ah, so what are you two up to tonight?" Sam asked as she looked over at you.

"Oh!" Cam started as an excited smile crossed his face. "We're gonna go see the new Star Wars movie!"

"Oh. I thought you two were going on a date?" Sam asked as she looked at you.

You shrugged your shoulder a bit as Cam furrowed his brow. "It is a date. Oh Daniel, hold up!" Cam walked off as Daniel rounded the corner ahead of you guys.

Sam turned to you "Didn't you guys see a movie the last time you were going out too?"

"Yup." You popped the 'p' as you smiled. "Cam isn't exactly a 'romantic' date night guy."

Cam stopped and looked back at you. "I heard that!"

You smiled at him as you and Sam rounded the corner, leaving Cam and Daniel behind. "You were supposed too!"

He opened his mouth in offense as he looked over at Daniel who rose his brow in indifference.

"A movie can be romantic right?" He asked Daniel.

"Which movie?

"Star Wars?" Cam asked, feeling uncertain.

"Huh. Uh, yeah, sure..." Daniel said awkwardly as he began to walk off.

Cam watched Daniel leave before he looked back to where you had left with Sam.

"I can be romantic." Cam muttered to himself before he scratched the back of his head and walked after Daniel.

- - - - - - - -

You sighed as you slipped on your shoes as you sat on your bed. You had donned a casual outfit before you went to the movies with Cam. Even if you were only going to a movie, for the fifth time this month, you were always excited to spend time with Cam off base.

Hearing a thud behind you, you spun around in surprise.

"Ah!" You jumped off your bed as you spotted a face in your bedroom window, looking in at you. After the moment of shock had faded, you let out a deep breath. "Cam!" You yelled as you went over to your window.

Cam smiled at you breathlessly from your roof ledge as he waved at you. Pulling the window up you shook your head incredulously. "What are you doing! Why are you creeping outside my bedroom window?!”

Cam grunted as he began to pull himself into your room “I thought it would be romantic if I climbed up here.”

“Romantic? Cam, you gave me a heart-attack!”

Standing up with a huff of air he dusted off his clothes. "So not romantic?"

You let out a soft laugh. "God, is this about that comment I made earlier?"

He shrugged a bit. "Maybe."

You shook your head in amusement as you placed your hands on his chest. "It was just a joke Cam."

"Yeah I know, but it did make me realize that I am not exactly as romantic as I thought I was."

"You don't have to do anything romantic for me Cam. I just like spending time with you. Though, if we are on this topic, maybe after tonight, we slow down the movie-going?"

He smirked. "I already had the same thought. Which, is why you should change."

You furrowed your brow before you looked Cam up and down, realizing for the first time he was more dressed up than you.

"Why? Where are we going?"

"It's a surprise." He smiled.

"Uh-oh."

"No, no 'uh-oh' it'll be great, I promise."

"Okay." You said unconvinced. "I'll trust you, I suppose."

Going back to your closet, you began to rifle through for something better to wear. You wondered what Cam had planned so quickly. As well as what he might consider romantic. Maybe just a nice dinner out, that would be good. You hadn't gone out to dinner just the two of you for a while.

You thoughts continued to wander as you sat in Cam's car on your way to wherever it was he was taking you.

When you finally pulled into a large building you did not recognize, you looked over at Cam. He smiled and winked at you before climbing out of the car. As you walked towards the entrance, Cam slid his hand into yours. You met his eyes and smiled, your nerves settling a bit as you made your way inside.

Walking in, you were met by a man who greeted you and started to lead you down a long corridor. As you walked, your thoughts of dinner were confirmed as the smell of food wafted over you.

As you made your way through two doors at the end of the hall, your mouth opened in surprise as a dark blue glow filled your vision.

In front of you was a large open room with various tables, many wit people seated at them. Every wall in the room was a large aquarium filled with a variety of fish and sea creatures.

You let out a small laugh as you looked over at Cam, who was smiling down at you. "Thought you might like it."

"I didn't even know a place like this existed here."

"It hasn't for long. But luckily I know a guy."

You smiled. "You always do."

As you were seated at a table, you looked into the aquarium beside you. Your eyes following small school's of fish, before you noticed s few sea horses. "This is amazing."

"And...romantic?"

You giggled. "Yes, and romantic. Very, actually."

"Yes!" He explained softly, making you chuckle.

"It was very sweet of you to do this Cam. And your not disappointed in missing Star Wars?" You asked softly.

He shook his head. "Nah. I can see it anytime I want. This however, is much more important. Just you and me, spending some time together without distractions. I'm sorry it took a joke to make me see that."

You smiled softly at him and shook your head. "I enjoy any time I spend with you Cam, no matter what we are doing."

Grabbing your hand, he lifted it to his lips, and pressed a soft kiss to your knuckles. "I love you Y/n."

You felt your breath hitch in your throat. That was the first time he said he loved you. You smiled widely at him as you spoke softly back, almost breathlessly. "I love you too Cam."

xx End xx

Yes, that is where I am ending it, as I had no idea where to go with it afterwards My brain just said 'No'. lol I hope you enjoyed it!

If you want to be added to my Stargate taglist, let me know~

The movie is off the walls crazy but you really got to take the whole thing in. It's made really badly but it somehow is made amazingly as well. The film manages to cram in every quotes on quotes Urban stereotype into this film very quickly. However the film isn't 100% sure if it wants to be a soap opera or an action film or something else. The film mainly centers around a character called milk who is a young All-Star gangster leading a gang of thugs but his life turns around when his stepfather gets out of jail and tries to take back the streets in the town. Now I say that's the main character in main story but there are a lot of characters in here which is probably how it sets itself up to be a soap opera. What makes this kind of bad movie interesting is when half your cast can actually act fairly well and the other half can't at all. This makes the interaction with these characters really entertaining for a bad movie Hound like myself. The jumps between the room style over acting to days of our life soap opera acting right back to zero budget non-actors acting is very impressive. This could be because there's maybe just too many damn characters in this film.But it's not just the acting it's also the production. Take the very opening scene where a supposed action scene is happening with milk gang versus an opposing gang we see a very short struggle but done with intense action shots intense music and humorous gun flares added on but all that done in a good looking location and it fools you that as if this was an actual action moment when in reality they were just sort of bumping into each other and falling down. Milking his game come across this issue later on as well when they have to fight cops it's very weird that the cops seem to be in spirit of Halloween cop uniforms while the scene is paste and edited well and has again intense music but this time the camera is moving back a bit and we're just noticing that the cops are just sort of rolling around on the ground with the gang members and nothing's happening. It's the kind of scene in the movie where you imagine if the music wasn't there this would be really sad. But because the film seems to have decent direction at certain points in the film it almost seems like this is a joke. The thing is it might actually be a joke but I can't really tell. There are definitely moments where one or two characters are there for humor purposes including one who shoots a bullet after imagining he could curve the bullet like in The Matrix and then he actually does it. But the character who did it is definitely a silly character. And the person he shoots is wearing an obvious sight gag t-shirt. I really can't do that scene justice in type you really have to see it and when you see it you'll know what I mean. However beside the violent gang storyline my favorite character is milk much older brother who seems to be living a much more upper middle class lifestyle but it is ruining it by his addiction to becoming a gigolo and sort of drug addict. However the older brother is so much charismatic than most of the cast when his life starts to fall apart because of his addictions and man whoring you literally feel like he is the victim here when in fact he is no less evil than any other character in this movie. Maybe that's what this movie is trying to say that there is no good there is no bad in this world it's just the side that you choose and those that betray you should be left in the dust and those who are with you should be treated like kings and be honored all the way throughout their lives. Oh my God what the hell is wrong with me I'm only three films in this pain-athon and I'm already giving a Maverick films production a deep philosophical meaning. Trust me the movie doesn't really have that but it's waving quality from amazing to terrible lets this " trapped in the closet" amped up action soap opera movie play a few games with your head. This review is dedicated to the guys at Perfect Turd Podcast for bringing this film to my attention.

Foals’ Jack Bevan’s Favourite Things

As the UK’s festival circuit returns after a two-year hiatus, rock and roll stars across the board are dusting off their leather jackets and plugging in their amps as they return to the fields for a long-awaited season of live music.

This Friday, June 24, indie superstars Foals will be taking to Glastonbury’s Pyramid stage to blast hits old and new into the screaming crowd with Jack Bevan bringing the noise on drums.

The drummer, one third of the Oxford-formed outfit, is at home in the kitchen as he is on a headline stage. His lockdown project saw him team up with cult condiment-maker Sauce Shop to create his idea of the perfect hot sauce, christened Holy Fire Hot Honey.

Oozing luxuriously from the bottle, the dark sauce is a combination of sweet and sour with habanero chilli bringing fire to the proceedings and sweet honey acting as the kiss after the kick.

The sauce is part of Foals official merch as they hit the road on their new UK tour. We collared Bevan for a quick chat about how cooking is the new rock n roll.

Food is clearly your passion, after music. What inspired you to collaborate with Sauce Shop?

I spent a lot of time in lockdown experimenting with cooking and getting kind of obsessed, so to be able to create a product from scratch like this is really cool. I’ve always loved hot sauce and was fascinated with these shops in the US that just sell hot sauce and have all different kinds of flavour profiles and ingredients.

Hot sauce is definitely becoming a bigger thing over here now, and once I discovered Sauce Shop (their Buffalo Hot Sauce is so good). I was a big fan and have been buying their products for some time now. It’s actually a bit of a dream to have created Holy Fire Hot Honey with them.

What do you recommend slathering Holy Fire Hot Honey on?

Holy Fire Hot Honey goes really well with a variety of foods, I’ve tried it on all sorts now. My favourite would be covering pizza, chicken wings or anything barbecued with it. I’ve been interested in hot honey and whilst our product is a hot sauce, it’s technically a hot honey because it’s 60 per cent honey with a habanero chilli. It’s spicy and fruity but really sweet as well. You have to work with the sweetness but it compliments so many other flavours.

Can we expect more Foals food launches?

There’s nothing on the horizon, but that’s not to say there won’t be in the future. The collaboration with Sauce Shop has been a passion project that has aligned perfectly with our tour of the new album, and we’ve been able to add Holy Fire Hot Honey to our merch, so it would take something special to follow this launch.

What’s your most used kitchen appliance or cooking tool?

It’s a toss up between my KitchenAid stand mixer and my Instant Pot. I make my own butter a lot in the KitchenAid as well as pasta dough and cake batter etc, but I use the Instant Pot for making rice congee, slow cooking meat and stews a lot too.

Festival season is back in full force for the first time in two years. Which one are you most looking forward to this summer and why?

It’s got to be Latitude, we’re so excited to be playing there again. It was the first major festival we ever headlined and it has grown a lot since we were last there.

What are your three must-have travel essentials while on tour and why?

I bring my Nintendo Switch everywhere. I’m big into RPGs and it’s a great way to kill time on the road. I take my Apple Airpod Pros everywhere too - I cycle a lot and because of the ambient mics I can listen to the road and a bit of music and directions at the same time.

My last one is a steamer - all my shirts get creased in my suitcase so I always need to steam them before a show.

What piece of tech couldn’t you do without?

I’ve had a Brompton for years but they’ve just recently upgraded me to a T Line. It’s an unbelievable bit of gear. So light and it means I can get out and about easily and explore cities wherever I am.

Mourve Over

Despite the alleged existence of a *Rosé Season*, I drink rosé all year long. Flat-brim marketing hooey aside, retailers claim it is almost impossible to sell during winter, and spring-time signals a rush on the shelves. And–as has been well-established on these pages–I am ridiculously picky about my rosé. My preferred varieties are Grenache–first and foremost–with Mourvedre, Corvina and Sangio…

David Nance—Pulverized and Slightly Peaced (Petty Bunco)

Pulverized And Slightly Peaced by David Nance

If the title of this home-recorded rager seems familiar, that’s because it’s an inversion, more or less, of the name of David Nance’s Peaced and Slightly Pulverized. Like its predecessor, the follow-up amps and distorts choogling blues riffs, finding a strung-out revelation in the sound of a guitar driven to extremes. As the title implies, Nance has dialed up the pulverization here and downplayed the peace. It’s a disc full of hiss and moan and six-stringed squall, lit with righteous rage and ragged glory. Nance has lately gotten plaudits for putting the Crazy Horse behind Rosali’s roots-rocking songs, but here he is all by himself, kicking up a slow-handed ruckus.

We’re hearing Pulverized and Slightly Peaced a bit out of order. It was recorded before the last album Nance released, the excellent Staunch Honey of which I observed, “Rooted in the guitar-centric antics of Crazy Horse, the communal free jams of the Grateful Dead, his music slouches and daydreams and struts.” It comes three years after the contemporary Peaced and Slightly Pulverized, which Dusted’s Ethan Covey called “a major step for the band, with Nance offering the purest distillation yet of his classic rock with a contemporary headache churn.” And yet, the new record sounds fresh and unstoppable, full of exploratory energy, as Nance works out the limits of his electric guitar, then says “fuck it,” and pushes right past them.

Unlike the other two, Pulverized is a genuine solo album, recorded at home by Nance alone, playing guitar, bass and a kit of rough, raucous drums. He sings, too, though that seems almost beside the point. He utters gruff asides over mesmeric riffs, shouting, growling, crooning, but always in service to the music. It’s not that different from what Paul Major does in Endless Boogie. But the point is that you’d never guess that Nance was doing this on his own. His music here has an erupting, band-like energy, with dual guitar lines tilting at one another, drums pounding, sound surging, exactly as if there were three or four people in the room.

The album’s clear highlight is “Amethyst,” a 20 minute-long re-interpretation of a song that first surfaced on Peaced and Slightly Pulverized. Here it stretches out into a cosmic, all-encompassing jam, with echoes of all the psychedelic super-guitar-bands—Major Stars, Wet Tuna, Endless Boogie, Comets on Fire. It even briefly slips free of the blues-country format, launching towards the interstellar before touching back down in strummed acoustic serenity again. You might justifiably wonder about the premise of the title, whether it’s possible to be pulverized and peaced at the same time. This long, wandering track seems to make the case. It’s violent enough to leave you bloody and gentle enough to bandage up the wounds. If you like distorted guitars set loose to wreak their havoc, you’ll enjoy this one.

Gregory Wathelet's Winning Ways Continue in the$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4*

Thermal California, USA – March 17, 2024– Formerly it was not the plan to move Kristalic, owned by Morning Star Sporthorses, into the FEI ranks for the last week of Desert Circuit. However, the horses preferred the sand ring, so Forensic 4* actions it was due to the way the schedule turned out. And with Gregory Wathelet ( BEL ) aboard, the horse walked away with a second victory of the week in Sunday’s$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4*, proving he’s a top contender for the higher levels.

” It was not the program at the beginning to do the FEI”, Wathelet said of Kristalic‘s schedule. We decided it was better to do the 1. 45m on sand than the 1. 40m National on turf when we saw it was on dust. Three weeks ago, we attempted to jump on the lawn, but it was ưnsuccessful. He has greatly improved, I may suggest. He’ȿ really comfortable on the top because he’s really careful. Maybe he needs to believe that he can hop this far.

In second in the$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4* was Kaitlin Campbell ( USA ) aboard Conova, owned by Sweet Oak Farm, while Vani Khosla ( USA ) secured third with Incitatus.

While Karrie Rufer is waiting for her first child, Wathelet rode aboard Kristalic and several other Morning Star Sporthorses-owned saddles. With each of Rufer’s excursions, Wathelet has produced outstanding results.

The 9-year-old Dutch Warmblood stallion ( Arezzo VDL x Baltic VDL ) has a big heart, which makes him attractive, Wathelet explained. ” He’s a very good horse. I’m not certain what he’ll do in the end, but Karrie may enjoy himself when she takes over.

Some top users think about their chances before they even buy them for their string, so the plan for making an Paralympic team far in advance.

Gregory Wathelet ( BEL ) &amp, Kristalic during the awards ceremony

” I’m happy now I have two wonderful horses”, he said of his best two, Bond Jamesbond de Hay and Ace Of Hearts, a horse that jumped in Thermal in 2023. I believe we have a good opportunity of progressing. I have planned a programme since December for my primary horses, Jamesbond. He has already demonstrated that he is capable of doing great things at the next show, but I still need to feel confident that he is well-fit to go, otherwise I wo n’t even go to the Olympics to watch him.

The French club has been a popular horsȩ for a while, and Wathelet claįms that they are in a bit of a development stage, especially as theįr present horses get older.

” I think Belgium has been quite nice the past seven or eight years”, he expressed. ” We are at a place where some animals are a little bit older, like mine, Nevados S, Jerome]Guery ]’s Quel Homme de Hus, and a few others that have retired. We have a fresh set oƒ animals. Although it’s not as powerful as it was the year before, I believe we can form a strong team. There are some very solid riders in Belgiμm, but perhaps not enough animals for championships. If not this year, animals will start arriving quickly enough to compete at that Ievel.

Nevertheless, Wathelet’s season has ƀeen successful, with the last week’s final week leading to several horses and earning valuable miles and caȿh prizes.

Last Benefits –$ 32, 000 Heavy Metal Equipment Classic CSI 4* – 1. 45m

1 ) Gregory Wathelet ( BEL ) &amp, Kristalic – 0/ 4 – 47. 35

2 ) Kaitlin Campbell ( USA ) &amp, Conova – 0/ 8 – 51

3 ) Vani Khosla ( USA ) &amp, Incitatus – 0/ 8 – 51. 95

JWST has taken a picture of the gaseous ‘skeleton’ of a spiral galaxy

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has taken a picture of the galaxy IC 5332, peering through the dust that separates its spiral arms to reveal the gas and stars beneath

Space 27 September 2022

By Leah Crane

Stars and glowing gas show through the dust in this image of the spiral galaxy IC 5332

ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J. Lee and the PHANGS-JWST and PHANGS-HST Teams

This tangle of stars and gas is a spiral galaxy called IC 5332, photographed by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Because JWST observes in infrared light, it can see through dust clouds to reveal the galaxy’s underlying skeleton of stars and glowing gas.

IC 5332 is about 29 million light years from Earth in the direction of the constellation Sculptor. It is about 66,000 light years across, making it about two-thirds the size of our own galaxy, the Milky Way. It is oriented almost exactly face-on to Earth, making its spiral arms particularly distinct in previous images using visible light.

Those arms are separated by lanes of dust that disappear in this JWST image, revealing many stars that emit light too red to spot with the Hubble Space Telescope, or that were previously blocked from sight. Even galaxies that were hidden behind IC 5332 are visible in the gaps between stars. The galaxy’s symmetrical arms still show in the image, but the areas between them shine bright with stars and gas as well.

Comparing this image with pictures from Hubble could help us learn more about the structure and composition of this galaxy and how dust, gas and stars interact within spiral galaxies more generally.
