The record plasma generated by the Wendelstein 7-X has now been analyzed in high detail. At high plasma temperatures and low turbulence losses, the usual stellarator magnetic ripple losses in the energy balance could be observed. They accounted for about thirty percent of the heating power, which is a considerable part of the energy balance.
Ambient office = 84 nanosieverts per hour
Ambient outside = 110 nanosieverts per hour
Soil exposed to rain water = 116 nanosieverts per hour

Last week we read some heartening news about Northern Leopard Frogs being released to help build their species population, but this week we've had some sad news: 26 frog species are at risk of going extinct within the next two decades. The study shows that these species will actually be gone by 2040 without any intervention.
Family Guy's fall premiere is just over a month away. Do you have your calendar marked? The season premieres on September 26 at 9:30, 8:30 Central. While you wait, you can watch episodes on Hulu at any time. You can also play around on the show's Twitter account, where there are lots of fun memes to caption.
Lots of bands have covered "The Weight" by The Band over the years, and it's such a simple, classic song that most covers are pretty effortless at being well done. Jensen Ackles, who plays Dean Winchester on the CW's Supernatural, even performed it for his fans once, much to their delight.
Moderna is being admired as a hero by many after the company's vaccine provided life-saving Coronavirus prevention for millions of people, and now the company has announced that they're ready to start trials on an HIV vaccine. This development is an amazing accomplishment. Hopefully the trials are successful and the company is able to prevent yet another life-threatening illness.
My teen loves to cook, but not to clean up. The cleanup is what keeps me from cooking much in the summer! I can't wait fall when we can use the crockpot again. We don't have air conditioning in the kitchen so heat from cooking plus cleanup time equals no fun. So you can bet if I can avoid cooking or get takeout, I will. One of the best things to do to keep from cooking is to keep a bunch of salad staples in your house.
The Biden Administration just issued a statement supporting LGBTQIA students, promising to support youth, keep them safe and investigate any harassment or discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender.

Sugar Milk Co. has always looked tempting to me. So many sweet treats! So many fun flavors! But I have enough lotions and perfumes so I always find it hard to justify spending more when I have what I need. That said, right now they have a 20% off sale going on through Sunday, which is super tempting. Just use the code PARTYSALE to get the discount. They have perfumes of all sizes, including minis for under $3 to try, lip oils (which sound super intriguing to me), lotions and many other products to try.
