Can you tell the difference between microscopic and massive? Red whirls on this rabbit’s tongue are filiform papillae, which roughen the tongue and help move food around the mouth. Purple and white “spike” proteins on this popular model of the coronavirus help it attach to and enter our cells. These might remind you of …… the clumps of cosmic debris in Tycho’s supernova, a star that may have exploded at many points simultaneously. Its concentric rings resemble …… the raging vortex at Saturn’s north pole, where green, pink and blue correspond to clouds of increasing depth.

CNN —A SpaceX Starship rocket launched on its third test flight from the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas and achieved multiple milestones Thursday morning before likely breaking apart. “But again, just it’s incredible to see how much further we got this time around.”SpaceX also never intended to recover Starship after this flight test. The Super Heavy booster burned through most of its fuel and broke away from the Starship spacecraft, the upper stage that rides atop the Super Heavy. Meanwhile, the Federal Aviation Administration will investigate the “mishap” involving both the Super Heavy booster and the Starship spacecraft. The SpaceX Starship rocket system lifts off from Starbase in Boca Chica, Texas, for its third integrated test flight on Thursday.

Athletes who win medals at the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Paris won’t just win gold, silver or bronze. Their medals will also include a piece of iron — wrought-iron, to be exact, from the Eiffel Tower itself. Organizers of the Games said Thursday that each of the 5,084 medals created for the Paris events will be decorated on one side with a hexagon-shaped piece of iron recovered from the French capital’s iconic landmark. “This exceptional object had to meet another very strong symbol of our country and our capital,” Tony Estanguet, the president of the Paris 2024 organizing committee, said at an event to unveil the medals’ design in Saint-Denis, a northern suburb of Paris where several Olympic events will be held. Mr. Estanguet said the iron used in the medals will be recycled fragments from the Eiffel Tower’s original 1889 construction that had been sitting unused in a warehouse after renovation work.

By making history at the Games, Paris medalists will take a bit of France and its history home, too. The iron pieces embedded in the center of the Olympic medals each weigh 18 grams (about two-thirds of an ounce). We realized that there’s one symbol known across the world, which is the Eiffel Tower,” Roncin said. “We said to ourselves, ‘Hey, what if we approached the Eiffel Tower Operating Co. to see if it’s possible to get a bit of the Eiffel Tower to integrate into the medal?’”The company agreed, and “the dream became reality,” he said. They’ll come in a dark-blue box from Chaumet and a certificate from the Eiffel Tower Operating Co. that the iron pieces came from the monument.

Why Eva Longoria is ‘addicted’ to padel

CNN —At first glance, padel might seem like an unusual investment for a Hollywood star like Eva Longoria. ElevenEleven Team USA, a team owned by Longoria, was participating at the event. Unlike tennis, padel is generally played in a doubles format, although the same scoring system is used in both sports. Some of the world's best padel players competed at the Hexagon Cup in Madrid. “The ownership team behind Angel City was born of that gender parity in pay,” Longoria recalled.

But you might be less acquainted with a variation using the trap bar, which has a hexagonal shape (which is why it's also known as a hex bar). Despite looking a little funky, the trap bar can make it easier and safer to deadlift, according to Stonehouse. "The advantage is that you get to stand in the middle of the weight instead of behind the weight," Stonehouse said. Advertisement"Even if someone is really good with a barbell deadlift, as I increase weight, I like to try on a trap bar first," he said.

Satellite images taken during the Cold War have revealed almost 400 previously unknown Roman forts. AdvertisementAdvertisementSatellite images taken during the Cold War have revealed almost 400 previously undiscovered Roman forts across Iraq and Syria, archaeologists said. He mapped 116 Roman forts along a 1,000 km, or roughly 620-mile, border, suggesting that these represented a defensive line against Arab and Persian invaders due to their spacing. Antiquity/US Geological SurveyThe new research found a further 396 previously undiscovered forts, suggesting that the region was more likely a hub of global trade. Cold War imageryThe photographs used in the study came from declassified spy images from the CORONA and HEXAGON satellite programs.

That survey was among the first to photograph archaeological sites from the air, and in 1934 Poidebard reported finding 116 Roman forts. But nearly a century later, mapping Poidebard’s forts to satellite photos was challenging. Those forts were aligned north to south along what was once the easternmost boundary of the Roman Empire, according to Poidebard. But Poidebard’s survey provided only a partial view of Rome’s ancient infrastructure, the researchers found. While Poidebard’s row of forts along the Roman Empire’s eastern front looked like a military fortification, this new evidence suggested that the forts collectively served a different purpose.

The timing was poor for bootstrapping: Winer and Mecray had just shuttered their first startup attempt, a juice presser company called Juicepresso. They maxed out credit cards, took out a small-business loan from American Express and packaged cookware sets in their backyards. It's grown steadily since, bringing in $170.7 million in revenue last year, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. At its height in 2015, we brought in somewhere between $5 million and $6 million in revenue. To be honest, though, as soon as I started working on the pan, I knew it wasn't going to fail.

STOCKHOLM, April 28 (Reuters) - Industrial technology group Hexagon (HEXAb.ST) on Friday reported a bigger than expected rise in first-quarter adjusted profit as the company's sales increased and it managed to soften the effects of cost inflation and currency swings. The maker of measurement and positioning systems and software said adjusted operating profit came in at 372 million euros ($410 million) against a year-earlier 335 million, on organic sales growth of 8%. Analysts polled by Refinitiv had on average forecast a profit of 353 million euros. "Our operating margins remained highly resilient as the business mitigated ongoing challenges from both inflation and currency," CEO Paolo Guglielmini said in a statement. Hexagon said its adjusted operating profit margin was unchanged at 29%, positively impacted by product mix but squeezed by currency translation effects.
Most people are lucky to live to 100, but two women lived far beyond that, joining the ranks of the world's oldest people — and they're both from France. Jeanne Calment is believed to be the world's oldest person on record, gracing the Earth for 122 years. And recently, a French nun named Sister André was the oldest person in the world until Jan. 17, when she passed at the age of 118. It's hard to pinpoint what exactly helps people live beyond age 100, considering the varying behaviors of supercentenarians, says Jean-Marie Robine, an expert demographer who studies the relationship between health and longevity. Here are some reasons why people from The Hexagon tend to have some bonus years.

Legea va reglemnta, astfel, diferitele niveluri de autonomie, de la sistemul de păstrare a benzii de circulație până la mașinile complet autonome, potrivit BFMTV. De asemenea, 36% dintre persoanele chestionate au declarat că mașinile autonome le vor permite „să lucreze” în timpul mersului. Aceștia vor putea să-și despăgubească victimele mult mai ușor și vor putea, totodată, să tragă la răspundere producătorii de software-uri auto și producătorii de vehicule auto. Decretul nu prevede că o mașină cu sisteme avansate de conducere autonomă va putea transporta pasageri pe drumurile publice din Franța fără să existe un șofer la bordul autovehiculului. Mai exact, modul automat va putea fi utilizat în cazul blocajelor de trafic de pe autostrăzi.

Автономные автомобили будут допущены на улицы, а уголовная ответственность в случае аварии будет нести производитель автомобилей, согласно приказу Министерства внутренних дел Франции. Эта мера формализует «полную нормативную базу для движения автономных транспортных средств» по дорогам общего пользования в Hexagon, пишет Digi24. Согласно поправкам к французскому дорожному кодексу, оператор системы несет ответственность в случае аварии, если включен автономный режим транспортного средства. В случае аварии, когда автономная система активирована, водитель больше не несет ответственности, если он выполнил условия использования программного обеспечения. Утверждение первых частично автономных транспортных средств будет завершено к концу этого года, а одобрение полностью автономных транспортных средств на заранее определенных маршрутах будет завершено в следующем году.

Cu toatea acestea, prestația slabă din defensivă a anulat cele trei goluri marcate și a oprit Franța din drumul spre sferturi.
