As beautiful as it may look, works of art are not immortal. For example, pigments and binders in oil paintings are inevitably degraded. Fluctuations in light, humidity, and temperature are common causes, but exposure to certain cleaning solvents during conservation and improper mixing of pigments by the artist can also destabilize the paint over time. The task of conservation scientists is to understand the chemical reactions that cause degradation to answer three questions: How was the painting created, how did it first appear, and how did it change—both naturally and by intervention? The questions are not completely backwards. By reconstructing how the painting deteriorated, conservators may be able to prevent further damage and better preserve it. Painting conservator and doctoral student Nouchka De Keyser (Rijksmuseum, University of Amsterdam, and University of Antwerp), his advisers Katrien Keune and Koen Janssens, and their colleagues scientifically answered all three questio

Forget about saving the medical profession. Australia has a generation of chief health officers and doctors who cannot define ‘women’ for fear of activist mobs. That’s a clear indication that ideological decay has become a terminal state – which may partly explain why so many ‘experts’ have turned megalomaniacs during Covid, chanting ‘Show me your paperwork!!!’ while forcing citizens to stand in small green circles painted on the ground. Not. Let’s move on and see if there’s anything left to save in the field of ‘climate science’. There is a consensus among this well-funded industry that the world will end in a fiery apocalypse unless something is done about ‘carbon emissions’. With trillions of dollars poured in over the decades, surely they’ve come up with some brilliant solutions? (Sh, we’re not going to talk about nukes.) This ‘Space Bubble’ shield can counter the effects of climate change by reflecting sunlight said the World Economic Forum, on June 20, 2022. The Massachuset

In a recent interview, Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke talked about being able to live “absolutely normal” after two aneurysms – one in 2011 and one in 2013 – caused brain injuries. He went on to undergo two brain surgeries. An aneurysm is a bulge or balloon in the wall of a blood vessel, often accompanied by a headache or severe pain. So how can people survive and thrive despite having, as Clarke puts it, “a little bit missing” from their brain? The key to understanding how brains can recover from trauma is that they are highly plastic – meaning our body’s supercomputer can reshape and remodel itself.

You do it now as you form new memories. It’s not that the brain has evolved to deal with brain trauma or stroke or aneurysm; our ancestors usually died when that happened and may not

Katherine Scott and Tim Biggs Hundreds of bags were delayed at Hamburg Airport last month. A global shortage of baggage handlers has resulted in a spike in the number of delayed or lost baggage. Photo: Getty Images Lost and delayed baggage continues to plague the airline industry amid soaring travel demand and a widespread shortage of baggage handlers. Several airlines have taken extreme steps to contain the crisis, with US carrier Delta Air Lines this week flying with delayed baggage, and no passengers, from London to Detroit. Icelandair, meanwhile, puts its own baggage handlers on flights to Amsterdam to ensure baggage is dropped off at the city’s overwhelmed Schiphol Airport. Amid horror stories about lost and delayed bags, travelers are turning to baggage tracking devices to try and make sure they can find their belongings, even if airlines can’t find them. Shane Miller used Apple AirTag to find his own delayed bag at Melbourne Airport, after waiting a week t

A forgotten victim of the Warriors’ two-and-a-half year stay in Australia was the 2005 Nissan Tiida. Second rower Josh Curran didn’t think twice before parking his car outside the club offices at Mt Smart Stadium in March 2020, thinking the team would only be in Australia for about a month before returning to Auckland. wishful thinking. The 23-year-old driver finally returned to his car late last month and found it parked exactly as he left it, although it looked a little uglier to wear. “There’s actually mold growing around the wheel,” Curran told NRL.com. The car is dead. Flat tire, low battery. Josh Curran “I need to get someone to come out and fix it, because it’s definitely not moving. “But I’ll be worried about it when I get back to New Zealand.” 599″, “>809”, “>959″]” data-eqio-prefix=”video-post-screen” ref=”root”> Next /

A worker at an outsourcing firm Qantas has registered to replace Aussie staff has claimed the national carrier lost ‘one in 10’ baggage bags – although the company vehemently denies that figure. The ‘spirit of Australia’ was brought to justice by the Transport Workers Union in late 2020 when it was ruled that the airline had illegally fired nearly 2,000 baggage handlers, cleaners and ground staff before shifting their jobs to foreign-owned providers including Swissport. The Swiss company has since been forced to seek employment firms, some of which are not aviation-specific, to manage worker shortages for Qantas and Jetstar flights – a decision that infuriated company staff who accused them of being poorly trained and up to 10 percent of all misplaced luggage. “I would tell everyone, don’t check-in bags when you fly with Qantas now, or even better if you can avoid it, don’t fly Qantas at all,” an anonymous Swissport worker told The Guardian.
