Mild winters in Northern Europe are thanks to the Gulf Stream, which makes up part of those ocean currents spanning the globe that have always impacted the climate.

Yet our climate is also influenced by huge eddies, black holes of turbulence over 90 miles in diameter, that rotate and drift across the ocean. Their number is reportedly on the rise in the Southern Ocean, increasing the northward transport of warm and salty water. A good thing, because this could moderate the negative impact of melting sea ice in a warming climate. 

Why don't apes have musical talent?

Humans, parrots, small birds, elephants, whales, and bats do and Matz Larsson, senior physician at the Lung Clinic at Örebro University Hospital in Sweden, asserts that the ability to mimic and imitate things like music and speech is the result of the fact that synchronized group movement makes it possible to perceive sounds from the surroundings better.  

Proton therapy, an external beam radiotherapy in which protons deliver precision radiation doses to a tumor and therefore help spare healthy organs and tissues, is a cost-effective alternative to standard photon radiation therapy in treating medulloblastomas, fast-growing brain tumors that mainly affect children.

If we want to think about how to deal with the effects of climate change, archaeologists suggest Aboriginal Australians are a good place to start.

Hyperlink films, which use cinematic devices such as flashbacks, scenes out of chronological order, split screens and voiceovers to create an interacting network of storylines and characters across space and time, mirror contemporary globalized communities, it is said.

Once size does not fit all but broad federal regulations, such as strict requirements on the use of animal manures in fresh produce production, that have been imposed by the new federal food-safety law threaten to adversely impact the mushroom industry, which relies on horse and poultry manure for a specialized growth substrate.
