Creating 3d models

A DRAMATIC drop in Earth's oxygen levels will eventually kill off most life on Earth, according to a new study. Scientists think life as we know it could have about a billion years left before a 'mass suffocation' event sets in. Earth's atmosphere is currently about 21% oxygen, an element that's crucial to support the life of large complex animals like us. Scientists know Earth's oxygen levels weren't always as high and suspect a dramatic decrease will happen again in the future. This was the focus of research by two scientists from Japan and the US. Kazumi Ozaki and Chris Reinhard created a model of Earth and its natural systems so they could predict how our planet will change. Their work is part of a NASA project that's looking into planet habitability . Ozaki, a scientist at Toho University in Funabashi, Japan, told New Scientist : "We find that the Earth’s oxygenated atmosphere will not be a permanent feature." The good news is the researchers think … [Read more...] about All humans and animals ‘will die out on Earth in a billion years’ due to ‘mass suffocation’ as oxygen levels collapse

MARK Ronson was already the best-connected man in music but now he’s dating a daughter of Hollywood royalty. I’ve learned the super-producer has for several months been quietly seeing American actress Grace Gummer, whose mum is Oscar winner Meryl Streep. He has even been introduced to Mamma Mia! icon Meryl . Londoner Mark was photographed having a meal with Grace in New York last September but I’m told they have grown closer and been spending more time together when he has been in the States. A source close to Mark said: “He is definitely dating Grace. Things have become romantic. “Lockdown restrictions have made things more difficult, especially when he has been back in the UK, but they are seeing how it goes and are getting along. “Mark is pretty private, so he has kept the whole relationship low-key but it really seems to be heating up.” He has been taken back to Grace’s family home to meet her parents — Meryl and her long-time husband, US sculptor Don … [Read more...] about Mark Ronson is secretly dating Meryl Streep’s daughter Grace

A little girl writes graffiti on a wall in English: "If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth." The word "truth" has been crossed out with red spray paint and replaced with "journalism." This picture was tweeted by Slovenia's Prime Minister Janez Jansa. His tweet was aimed at the Kleine Zeitung , a newspaper based in the Austrian city of Graz, which had annoyed the Slovenian premier with an article about his attitude toward the press in his country. It's not unusual to see Janez Jansa tweeting things like this. Quite the opposite, in fact. No other European head of state is personally waging such a bitter war of words against the media. Jansa routinely attacks Slovenian journalists, and he comments on almost every critical article that is published abroad about the political situation in Slovenia under his government. Sometimes he reacts with fury, sometimes disparagingly; he always describes it as fake news. Recently, for example, Jansa branded Lili Bayer, the … [Read more...] about Prime Minister Janez Jansa, Slovenia’s Marshal Tweeto and the media

VIEWERS of last night’s Extraordinary Escapes were wowed by the “stunning” five-bedroom, seven-bathroom Cotswold home designed by Kate Moss. The Channel 4 programme saw Sani Toksvig and Bake Off costar Prue Leith visit some of the best staycations that the Cotswold had to offer. And among the highest rated accommodations was the breathtaking party pad designed by the A-lister model. The supermodel helped kit out the £3.5million country retreat back in 2015 - and even used pictures of herself to decorate the walls. The five-bedroom home is set in a one-acre plot of private woodland just moments away from a private helipad. It boasts a swimming pool, silk carpets and an outdoor entertaining area - not to mention a mirrored four-poster bed and a cocktail bar. The celebrity bolthole could be rented out for between a cool £10,000 to £25,000 a week. Kate, 47, had been asked to work on the interior design in Lechlade, Gloucs, by a property developer. The model said at … [Read more...] about Inside stunning five-bed, seven-bath Cotswolds party pad designed by Kate Moss – including a mirrored four-poster bed

This must be what it feels like to go shoplifting, I thought, as I walked out of Amazon's new till-less shop in London. You go in, take items off the shelves, put them in a bag, and wander back through the doors and on to the pavement. What's not to like? Well, you do still get charged, of course. Getting started is simple. First, you open the regular Amazon app and select the basket symbol at the bottom. Next, you click on "Fresh Code" at the top of the screen, which gives you a QR code to scan as you enter the store. Advertisement After that, you simply take items from the shelves and the chiller cabinets, the software somehow tracking exactly where you are and what you've selected. "It's absolutely nuts," one customer said to a friend as they walked past the herbs and spices.
