DERRY GIRLS 2022
I must say, Clare, I find your attitude shocking. Sister Michael has asked us to do something in her hour of need, and if that means that we must spend a night in Donegal, in a house, in an adult-free house, for the entire night, then that is a cross that we’ll just have to bear.

Sonic Youth (and Friends) - Bowery Ballroom, New York City, April 1, 1999
Sonic Youth started the 1990s attempting to break into the rock and roll mainstream. The band ended the decade trying to get as far away from it as possible. To wit, this April Fool's gig in NYC — a live preview of the Goodbye 20th Century collection on SYR that would be released later that year. Aside from Lee Ranaldo's solo (and quite lovely) rendition of "Wish Fulfillment," the two-plus-hour set doesn't include any Sonic Youth songs; instead, it's made up of abstract improvisational quests and daring interpretations of pieces by such minimalist composers as John Cage, Yoko Ono, Pauline Oliveros and more.
It's a friends and family affair, with collaborators like Leah Singer, Wharton Tiers, William Winant, Ikue Mori, Takehisa Kosugi and more showing up to lend a hand. Oh and then there's Jim O'Rourke, who's making his debut #SonicSummer appearance — he'll be onboard for the next few years. Hello, Jim!
This ain't easy listening, of course, but it's perhaps more playful than pretentious — after all, the Yoko piece is primarily just Kim Gordon shrieking. And there's plenty of raw beauty, too: the simple, surging swell of James Tenney's "Having Never Written A Note For Percussion" is an impressive feat of collective energy, the players moving as one through the spaceways. Most of all, SY and their pals seem to be enjoying getting into these strange and beguiling compositions, still searching for unknown vibrations.

Earth's mantle, not its core, may have generated planet's Early magnetic field Scripps Oceanography researcher's assertion bolstered by series of new studies New research lends credence to an unorthodox retelling of the story of early Earth first proposed by a geophysicist at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. In a study appearing March 15 in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters, Scripps Oceanography researchers Dave Stegman, Leah Ziegler, and Nicolas Blanc provide new estimates for the thermodynamics of magnetic field generation within the liquid portion of the early Earth's mantle and show how long that field was available. The paper provides a "door-opening opportunity" to resolve inconsistencies in the narrative of the planet's early days. Significantly, it coincides with two new studies from UCLA and Arizona State University geophysicists that expand on Stegman's concept and apply it in new ways. "Currently we have no grand unifying theory for how Earth has evolved thermally," Stegman said. "We don't have this conceptual framework for understanding the planet's evolution. This is one viable hypothesis." The trio of studies are the latest developments in a paradigm shift that could change how Earth history is understood. It has been a bedrock tenet of geophysics that Earth's liquid outer core has always been the source of the dynamo that generates its magnetic field. Magnetic fields form on Earth and other planets that have liquid, metallic cores, rotate rapidly, and experience conditions that make the convection of heat possible. In 2007, researchers in France proposed a radical departure from the long-held assumption that the Earth's mantle has remained entirely solid since the very beginnings of the planet. They argued that during the first half of the planet's 4.5-billion-year history, the bottom third of Earth's mantle would have had to have been molten, which they call "the basal magma ocean." Six years later, Stegman and Ziegler expanded upon that idea, publishing the first work showing how this once-liquid portion of the lower mantle, rather than the core, could have exceeded the thresholds needed to create Earth's magnetic field during that time. The Earth's mantle is made of silicate material that is normally a very poor electrical conductor. Therefore, even if the lowermost mantle were liquid for billions of years, rapid fluid motions inside it wouldn't produce large electrical currents needed for magnetic field generation, similar to how Earth's dynamo currently works in the core. Stegman's team asserted the liquid silicate might actually be more electrically conductive than what was generally believed. "Ziegler and Stegman first proposed the idea of a silicate dynamo for the early Earth," said UCLA geophysicist Lars Stixrude. The idea was met with skepticism because their early results "showed that a silicate dynamo was only possible if the electrical conductivity of silicate liquid was remarkably high, much higher than had been measured in silicate liquids at low pressure and temperature." A team led by Stixrude used quantum-mechanical computations to predict the conductivity of silicate liquid at basal magma ocean conditions for the first time. According to Stixrude, "we found very large values of the electrical conductivity, large enough to sustain a silicate dynamo." The UCLA study appeared in the Feb. 25 issue of Nature Communications. In another paper, Arizona State geophysicist Joseph O'Rourke applied Stegman's concept to consider whether it's possible that Venus might have at one point generated a magnetic field within a molten mantle. These new studies are signs that the premise is starting to take hold, but is still far from being widely accepted. "No one is going to believe it until they do it themselves and now two other highly esteemed scientists have done it themselves," said Stegman. "The pioneering studies of Dave Stegman and his collaborators directly inspired my work on Venus," said O'Rourke. "Their recent paper helps answer a question that vexed scientists for many years: How has Earth's magnetic field survived for billions of years?" If Stegman's premise is correct, it would mean the mantle could have provided the young planet's first magnetic shield against cosmic radiation. It could also underpin studies of how tectonics evolved on the planet later in history. "If the magnetic field was generated in the molten lower mantle above the core, then Earth had protection from the very beginning and that might have made life on Earth possible sooner," Stegman said. "Ultimately, our papers are complementary because they demonstrate that basal magma oceans are important to the evolution of terrestrial planets," said O'Rourke. "Earth's basal magma ocean has solidified but was key to the longevity of our magnetic field."

Derry Girls Season 3: Release Date, Cast, Plot, Trailer And The Status Of Production Production
Tumblr media
Derry Girls Season 3: Release Date Derry Girls is a  British sitcom set in Northern Ireland in the 1990s. The show released in January and February 2018 on Channel 4. The next season went from March to April 2019. But 3 months back Netflix hasn't published the next season of this comedy series and we could expect the season will return with the third season. Both seasons can arrive within this past year 2020. Derry Girls Season 3: Cast Lisa McGee is a writer and the creator of the sequence. Under the umbrella of Hat Trick Productions, Saoirse-Monica Jackson plays Erin Quinn who is ambitious and enthusiastic, but about other's opinions of her, she is concerned and vain at precisely the same time. Her sarcasm and dark sense of humor lands her in trouble. Louisa Harland plays the maternal cousin of Erin, Orla McCool, a one who doesn't care what anybody else thinks of her. While Jamie-Lee O'Donnell plays with the child of the group, Michelle Mallon we also have Nicola Coughlan as a rational and practical Clare Devlin. Dylan Llewellyn plays James Maguire, also Tara Lynne O'Neill plays with Ma/Mary, Kathy Kiera Clarke plays with Aunt Sarah. Siobhán McSweeney plays with Sister Michael, Tommy Tiernan plays Da/Gerry. Ian McElhinney as Granda Joe while Leah O'Rourke plays Jenny Joyce, the majority of their girls' school. Derry Girls Season 3: Plot This is a story of Orla, Erin, Clare and Michelle, and James investigating their adolescence. Erin's family with her family's side. Read the full article
