Protesters use torches, lamps to disrupt racing promotion on Opera House
More than 1,000 protesters have disrupted the Everest horse race illumination by painting over the light show with torches and lamps. When the Opera House sails were finally illuminated after days of national backlash, the crowds of protesters began booing and sending up helium balloons.

Breathing life into our planet and others
A new study has produced a detailed estimation for when there was enough oxygen in the Earth’s atmosphere to support large land-based life, such as dinosaurs and eventually humans. The findings could help fill in the gaps in our understanding of the evolution of Earth’s ecology and could provide useful evidence when considering if other planets could support large oxygen-dependent life.

But the fact is that embraces not only help us connect with others and express what we feel, also have a very positve effect on the emotional balance and brain health.
