☆ NASA's James Webb telescope spotted a strange 13 billion-year-old galaxy that shouldn't exist

NASA's new space telescope spotted a 13 billion-year-old galaxy that is much too complex to exist that early in the universe. The galaxy, which is bigger than the Milky Way, could upheave what we know about how dark matter shaped the early universe. Light travels at a fixed speed through space, so the image of these early galaxies in the past is only reaching us now. According to current cosmology models, that should not be possible because dark matter is not supposed to have been mature enough at that time. "This dark matter — we don't know what it actually is —started out really smooth, with only the tiniest of ripples.

☆ Black holes are rampaging through our universe at more than 2.2 million mph and scientists think they now know why

These black holes get kicked into space, moving as fast as 1,000 kilometers per second. AdvertisementScientists studying how supernovas explode may have discovered a new process for how certain black holes form. Turns out, some baby black holes hit the ground running at colossal speeds just moments after they take shape. Asymmetrical explosions can lead to powerful kicks that send black holes shooting into space at over 2 million mph.

☆ Volkswagen launches extra shifts at Wolfsburg plant - brand board member

HAMBURG, May 31 (Reuters) - Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE) has introduced extra shifts at its factory in Wolfsburg, the carmaker's biggest, after supply chain disruptions in the wake of the Ukraine war and global chip shortage have eased, a senior executive said. Imelda Labbe, who is part of the management board of the Volkswagen brand, said in an internal interview seen by Reuters that Volkwagen's German plants were significantly better utilised than in 2022. "Our production network in Germany was hit particularly hard by the consequences of the corona pandemic, the global chip crisis and the Ukraine war," Labbe said. This also includes the carmaker's plant in Wolfsburg, where Volkswagen is based, Labbe said, adding that the site could only produce 400,000 car, or half its annual capacity, in 2022. Instead, Volkswagen had to introduce extra shifts from May to meet production targets, Labbe said, adding this has positively impacted delivery schedules, which have come down to around 3 months in Europe for its fully electric ID models.

☆ Galaxies spotted by Webb telescope rewrite understanding of early universe
  + stars: | 2023-02-22 | by ( Will Dunham | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
These galaxies, one of which appears to have a mass rivaling our Milky Way but 30 times more densely packed, seem to differ in fundamental ways from those populating the universe today. "The leading theory is that an ocean of dark matter filled the early universe after the Big Bang," Labbe said. "This dark matter - we don't know what it is actually is - started out really smooth, with only the tiniest of ripples. These ripples grew over time due to gravity and eventually the dark matter started to collect in concentrated clumps, dragging hydrogen gas along for the ride. "Their explosion set off the chain of events that formed subsequent generations of stars," Labbe said.
☆ Amid 'quiet hiring,' here’s what highly successful workplaces should focus on
  + stars: | 2023-01-13 | by ( Natasha Piñon | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
In 2023, "quiet hiring" — when a company redistributes staffers or recruits short-term contractors instead of hiring full-time employees — could dominate the workplace. How quality workplaces improve retentionThriving companies conduct regular surveys and host check-ins to track employee engagement, Labbe says. Quiet hiring itself can also help with employee retention. Emily Rose McRae, a Gartner HR analyst who helped coin the term "quiet hiring," told CNBC Make It last week. At Toptal, during periods the recruiting team wasn't busy, some team members moved over to the sales team, Labbe says.

Alice Fenwick - Remy Cointreau/Handout via REUTERSPARIS, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Known for its prized Louis XIII cognac, Remy Cointreau (RCOP.PA) is entering the luxury fragrance market with the launch of Maison Psyche, an upscale perfume house that will sell scents starting at 5,500 euros a bottle. The French spirits group will draw on its experience in blending and ageing spirits, as well as marketing to high end clientele, as it seeks to tap into affluent consumers' thirst for exclusivity. The new business could be “potentially strategic,” Remy Cointreau chief executive Eric Vallat told Reuters. Remy Cointreau's Maison Psyche was born from the collaboration of Baptiste Loiseau, Cellar Master of Remy Martin and Sophie Labbe, Principal Perfumer of Switzerland's fragrance group Firmenich.
