  2. The Gulf of Naples - One of the most dangerous places in the world | DW Documentary [Click] They mention the huge supervolcanic eruption that took place forty thousand years ago, but don’t (unless I nodded off at the time) mention that it is thought to have snuffed out most of the Neanderthal population.

    2. Glad you liked it. DW production quality is good; their news channel is pretty good, too--naturally with a European focus.

    1. I'm rooting for Labor Secretary Marty Walsh. A really close friend of mine in MA knows him, volunteered on his campaign and knows him to be an honest and great human.

  6. Supernovae support a cosmological constant
    Study of more than 1500 type 1q supernovae covering a huge fariety of redshifts indicates that the amount of dark energy does not vary with time/distance. This makes dark energy equivalent to Einstein's cosmological constant.
