    Mixero is being listed at the #1 spot here well that’s not without substance. The top reasons why I’m in love with this Bitcoin tumbler is because it’s fast takes care of our anonymity and privacy and has a very negligible fee. Smartmix bitcoin mixing service The payout is almost instant all it needs is 2 confirmations for the dirty coins being sent in to be cleaned or tumbled. No account needs to be created to clean your coins either. They have advanced options which let you set “delayed payouts” which further increase your anonymity and make it hard to link the coins going inside to the coins coming out. There’s even an option to add up to 5 addresses so your coins are broken down into 5 different parts and sent to the different addresses again adding another layer of anonymity. The minimum amount too is pretty low being just 0.001BTC while the maximum limit is 15.32BTC. It’s pocket-friendly as well with the fee being just 0.5 per mix 0.0001BTC/address in fact it probably is one of the lowest fee in the industry altogether. As for anonymity they delete all logs related to your mix after 7 days which finally erases the last thread which could ever be linked back to you. So yes enough reasons to list it at the #1 spot don’t you agree?

    The voice of ‘White Lotus’ star Walton Goggins is the lullaby we didn’t know we needed jumper exchange While his “White Lotus” character Rick has been the source of some stress this season Walton Goggins is here to soothe us into a state of dreamy sleep to make up for it. The actor has partnered with relaxation and meditation app Calm for one of their famed Sleep Stories lending his smoky voice to a fable titled “The Yard Sale.” Goggins announced the Sleep Story on his verified Instagram on Tuesday writing “A friend once said to me the first question you ask someone shouldn’t be ‘How are you?’ but rather ‘How did you sleep last night?’ I agree.” The post included an excerpt from the story in which Goggins is heard languidly instructing listeners to relax their bodies and get into bed. “You could even climb into a hammock” he added. “I wouldn’t do that because I’ve never gracefully got in or out of one.” In the caption the actor also wrote that he “wanted to create a Sleep Story that feels dreamlike helping people slow their minds down by wandering through a yard sale which happens to be one of my favorite things to do uncovering hidden treasures.” “It’s the Walton Goggins version of counting sheep. I hope you enjoy” he added. Other celebrities who have read bedtime stories in the hopes of putting audiences to sleep include Dolly Parton and the late Jimmy Stewart whose voice was featured in a Calm Christmas Sleep Story in 2023 thanks to generative AI technology. Goggins currently stars on “The White Lotus” where his character is often the most stressed out and tortured of the ensemble at one point setting a slew of snakes free.

    Mist and microlightning solflare wallet To recreate a scenario that may have produced Earth’s first organic molecules researchers built upon experiments from 1953 when American chemists Stanley Miller and Harold Urey concocted a gas mixture mimicking the atmosphere of ancient Earth. Miller and Urey combined ammonia NH3 methane CH4 hydrogen H2 and water enclosed their “atmosphere” inside a glass sphere and jolted it with electricity producing simple amino acids containing carbon and nitrogen. The Miller-Urey experiment as it is now known supported the scientific theory of abiogenesis: that life could emerge from nonliving molecules. For the new study scientists revisited the 1953 experiments but directed their attention toward electrical activity on a smaller scale said senior study author Dr. Richard Zare the Marguerite Blake Wilbur Professor of Natural Science and professor of chemistry at Stanford University in California. Zare and his colleagues looked at electricity exchange between charged water droplets measuring between 1 micron and 20 microns in diameter. The width of a human hair is 100 microns. “The big droplets are positively charged. The little droplets are negatively charged” Zare told CNN. “When droplets that have opposite charges are close together electrons can jump from the negatively charged droplet to the positively charged droplet.” The researchers mixed ammonia carbon dioxide methane and nitrogen in a glass bulb then sprayed the gases with water mist using a high-speed camera to capture faint flashes of microlightning in the vapor. When they examined the bulb’s contents they found organic molecules with carbon-nitrogen bonds. These included the amino acid glycine and uracil a nucleotide base in RNA. “We discovered no new chemistry; we have actually reproduced all the chemistry that Miller and Urey did in 1953” Zare said. Nor did the team discover new physics he added — the experiments were based on known principles of electrostatics. “What we have done for the first time is we have seen that little droplets when they’re formed from water actually emit light and get this spark” Zare said. “That’s new. And that spark causes all types of chemical transformations.”

    Scientists redid an experiment that showed how life on Earth could have started. They found a new possibility safepal In the 1931 movie “Frankenstein” Dr. Henry Frankenstein howling his triumph was an electrifying moment in more ways than one. As massive bolts of lightning and energy crackled Frankenstein’s monster stirred on a laboratory table its corpse brought to life by the power of electricity. Electrical energy may also have sparked the beginnings of life on Earth billions of years ago though with a bit less scenery-chewing than that classic film scene. Earth is around 4.5 billion years old and the oldest direct fossil evidence of ancient life — stromatolites or microscopic organisms preserved in layers known as microbial mats — is about 3.5 billion years old. However some scientists suspect life originated even earlier emerging from accumulated organic molecules in primitive bodies of water a mixture sometimes referred to as primordial soup. But where did that organic material come from in the first place? Researchers decades ago proposed that lightning caused chemical reactions in ancient Earth’s oceans and spontaneously produced the organic molecules. Now new research published March 14 in the journal Science Advances suggests that fizzes of barely visible “microlightning” generated between charged droplets of water mist could have been potent enough to cook up amino acids from inorganic material. Amino acids — organic molecules that combine to form proteins — are life’s most basic building blocks and would have been the first step toward the evolution of life.

    Josh Giddey hits halfcourt buzzer-beater over LeBron James to cap wild finale as the Bulls stun the Lakers quickswap Josh Giddey hit a game-winning halfcourt buzzer-beater over LeBron James as the Chicago Bulls stunned the Los Angeles Lakers in one of the wildest endings to an NBA game you are ever likely to see. Trailing 115-110 with 12.6 seconds remaining Giddey’s inbound pass found Nikola Vucevic who pushed the ball to a wide-open Patrick Williams for a corner three-pointer. James then fluffed the Lakers inbound pass from the baseline allowing Giddey to steal the ball and find Coby White for a second Bulls triple in quick succession to put Chicago up 116-115 with 6.1 seconds remaining. Austin Reaves then made a driving layup to put the Lakers ahead 117-116 with 3.3 seconds left but the game wasn’t done yet. With no timeouts remaining Giddey inbounded the ball to Williams from the baseline got the pass back took one dribble and launched a shot from beyond halfcourt. Supporters in the stands seemed frozen in anticipation as the ball sailed through the air and the United Center then erupted as it fell through the net. After the dramatic win Giddey found himself being swarmed by his teammates. “Special moment to do it with these guys this team” Giddey said per ESPN. “We’ve shown over the last month to six weeks that we can beat anybody. The way we play the game I think it wears people down. “We get up and down. We run. We put heat on them to get back. A lot of veteran teams don’t particularly want to get back and play in transition.” Giddey later told the Bulls broadcast that he’d “never made a game-winner before.” The ending capped an incredible couple of games for the Lakers who had themselves won their last game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday with a buzzer-beating tip-in from James.

    A tiny rainforest country is growing into a petrostate. A US oil company could reap the biggest rewards swell Guyana’s destiny changed in 2015. US fossil fuel giant Exxon discovered nearly 11 billion barrels of oil in the deep water off the coast of this tiny rainforested country. It was one of the most spectacular oil discoveries of recent decades. By 2019 Exxon and its partners US oil company Hess and China-headquartered CNOOC had started producing the fossil fuel.? They now pump around 650000 barrels of oil a day with plans to more than double this to 1.3 million by 2027. Guyana now has the world’s highest expected oil production growth through 2035. This country — sandwiched between Brazil Venezuela and Suriname — has been hailed as a climate champion for the lush well-preserved forests that carpet nearly 90 of its land. It is on the path to becoming a petrostate at the same time as the impacts of the fossil fuel-driven climate crisis escalate. While the government says environmental protection and an oil industry can go hand-in-hand and low-income countries must be allowed to exploit their own resources critics say it’s a dangerous path in a warming world and the benefits may ultimately skew toward Exxon — not Guyana.

    “You have a government that is reckless about what is going to happen to Guyana” said Melinda Janki an international lawyer in Guyana who is handling several lawsuits against Exxon. It’s pursuing “a supposed course of development that is actually backward and destructive” she told CNN. kelpdao And while plenty of Guyanese people welcome the new oil industry some say Guyana’s startling economic statistics do not reflect a real-world prosperity for ordinary people many of whom are struggling with the higher prices accompanying the oil boom. Inflation rose 6.6 in 2023 with prices of some foods shooting up much more rapidly. “Since the oil extraction began in Guyana we have noticed that our cost of living has gone sky high” said Wintress White of Red Thread a non-profit that focuses on improving living conditions for Guyanese women. “The money is not trickling down to the masses” she told CNN. CNN contacted President Ali the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Finance for comment but received no response. Guyana a former Dutch then British colony which gained independence in 1966 is one of only a handful of countries that is a “carbon sink” meaning it stores more planet-heating pollution than it produces. This is due to its vast rainforest; trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as they grow. The country has protected its biodiversity where others have destroyed theirs President Ali said in a BBC interview last year. In 2009 the country signed an agreement with Norway which promised Guyana more than 250 million to preserve its 18.5 million hectares or nearly 46 million acres of forests. Ali insists the country can balance climate leadership and fossil fuel exploitation. The new oil wealth will allow Guayana to develop including building climate adaptations such as sea walls he has said. He has also pointed to the continued failures of wealthy countries already grown rich on their own fossil fuels to help poorer countries with climate finance. But there are concerns Guyana could fall victim to the “resource curse” in which vast new wealth ?can actually make life worse for those who live there.

    Mindful wellness challenges If you’re the type of person who thrives on challenges and pushing your limits this doesn’t mean you need to shy away from wellness challenges altogether. But before diving in take a step back and ask yourself if you’re pursuing the challenge for the right reasons McGregor said. velodrome finance Some people want to try these challenges because they believe something is missing from their life and they’re looking to attain “worth” or receive validation McGregor noted. A good way to assess your motivation is by considering whether the challenge will benefit your health or if it’s about showcasing your accomplishments on social media or some other reason. Before trying any new trend make sure you have the foundation to handle it and be aware of any potential risks McGregor said. For casual runners this might mean signing up for a 5K but building your endurance gradually while incorporating other strength training exercises into your routine. For more intense challenges such as a marathon McGregor encourages people to consult with professionals or a coach who can monitor your progress and condition along the way. Focusing on sustainable habits Both McGregor and Curran emphasize the importance of fostering sustainable health habits before embarking on more extreme challenges. Rather than chasing the idea of being “healthy” McGregor suggests focusing on actual healthful behaviors and starting small. If you’re a highly sedentary person and want to add more movement to your day try doing lunges while brushing your teeth or taking short walks throughout your typical routine.

In December 2019 then-President David Granger said in a speech “petroleum resources will be utilized to provide the good life for all … Every Guyanese will benefit.” It’s a narrative that has continued under current President Mohamed Irfaan Ali who says new oil wealth will allow Guyana to develop better infrastructure healthcare and climate adaptation.
