I'm a young teenager in middle school who really, really, really wants to be considered smart like my friends. I've already found ways to study and get better grades but I want to be smart in other areas too. I'm very new to greek mythology & trying to learn about it now, I'm trying to expand my vocabulary, and I'm trying to find new topics to be knowledgeable in. Do you have any suggestions for things I could learn, activities I could do, or ways to expand my vocabulary so I can achieve this?

Hello friend!

It's nice that you're so eager to learn new things, but make sure not to compare yourself to other people to such an extreme! Some competition cna be healthy, but don't put yourself down by comparing yourself to others all the time.

However, I do have some tips for you on some of these points :)

Read. I will never not recommend reading. Read whatever you can get your hands on, read whatever looks interesting. You'll develop your vocabulary, and it's generally good for you (look up the benefits of reading if you don't believe me). There are loads of free eBooks online, libraries could open again soon, and you can find audio books on Adible or Libby. Read.

I would recommend having some kind of encyclopedia or dictionary on general but obscure knowledge where you can look things up. I have a Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, and have genuinely sat there and read it cover to cover. You don't have to do that, but you can always looks things up. Encyclopedias are great because a lot of them link you to other areas of information, which can lead you down a research rabbit hole.

Research things that you enjoy. Don't go by what's traditionally deemed 'high brow', because that's a really narrow field confined by race, class, gender, sexuality, and religion, at least here in Britain. Research things you find interesting, and I promise the information will stick way better.

I would really recommend learning another language, even if it's just a few words or phrases. Personally I know I'm really privileged in this because I was raised trilingual but honestly, it has so many benefits to be able to communicate in different ways. Learn sign language or Latin or Spanish or Mandarin, I really don't care. Just try to learn a language for at least a few months.

The internet is a really valuable resource. I'm guilty of falling down a never-ending spiral of under 1 minute videos and filling my head with vine references too, but there are so many incredibly detailed and specific videos on any topic. If you come across a concept you find interesting, look up a YouTube video on it, try to find a Blog post, read the Wikipedia site. You never know what interesting things you might find.

If you're interested in Greek Mythology, I have some recommendations for you. First, Percy Jackson. Yes, it's basic. But it's also a really good starting point for becoming familiarised with a lot of the deities and mythology. I'm sure that Rick Riordan did two or so books where Percy narrates the Greek myths, and those were my favourites when I was probably around your age, so I'd definitely give them a go. Next: Mythos, Heroes, and Troy by Stephen Fry. I love Stephen Fry with all my heart and these books were incredible. I would really recommend getting the audio books because he narrates them and they just come alive. He could read the phone book and it would be interesting.

Learning history is so important. We need to know where we come from, and need to be able to understand where other people come from and their histories too. Remember when I told you to read? Read historical books. There's no better way to learn about people than to get into their heads and experience things from their perspective through reading from their points of view. Read classics as well, because they're contemporary and will teach you about how people lived. I wouldn't worry about learning dates and names (although you can show off with those), but I would recommend knowing about how people lived their lives. I have an inventory of useless fashion history and miscellaneous historical facts littered around my head like mothballs which make me sound smart when really I'm just vomiting up any information I have linked to a topic brought up in conversation.

I hope at least one of these might have come in useful!

Have a good day, and stay safe :)

Recognizing the significance of Mental Health Awareness Month, Tavour invites you to support the following breweries supporting worthy foundations.

image sourced from Hope For The Day

Press Release

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Established in 1949, the national movement aims to draw attention to the stigma faced by millions of Americans living with mental illness and their fight for care.

…

This year’s movement is poised to have even greater reach than before, thanks to a little help from a surprise source – the craft beer industry! Beer fans on Tavour can expect to see a range of beers on the app during the month of May, all with the same name. The intention is to send a powerful message about the concealed nature of mental illness: Things We Don’t Say.

In conjunction with Malteurop Malting Co., Hollingbery & Son Hops, and international awareness group Hope For The Day, Wisconsin’s Eagle Park Brewing created the special IPA recipe. Then, they posted it online, along with an open invitation for other brewers to join in.

“The cause is something that’s near and dear to all of us. It’s been a tough year on everyone,” says Eagle Park Co-Owner Jake Schinker.

While a portion of the proceeds is going to Hope For The Day’s suicide prevention and mental health education programming, Schinker says that isn’t the main goal, due to the quiet nature of mental health struggles.

“From the beginning, we all decided that the message is more important than raising funds,” he says.

In addition to promoting mental illness discussion via the beer name, Eagle Park includes contact information for seven different mental health resources on their labels for Things We Don’t Say. Participating brewers can use this template or customize their own.

While many of the breweries involved are keeping their batches limited and close to home, Tavour is working with 11 of them to bring the beers into the public’s hands nationwide. The online retailer is already known for connecting craft fans to hard-to-find beers from over 600 breweries.

Eagle Park is just one of the breweries sharing a portion of their Things We Don’t Say IPA through Tavour. They’re joined by good company, many of them neighboring Midwest breweries that don’t normally send beers outside of the region:

Representing Illinois is Energy City Brewing, Maplewood Brewery, Mikerphone Brewing, Old Irving Brewing, and Riverlands Brewing. Also coming from the Midwest is Nebraska’s Zipline Brewing, and Wisconsin’s The Brewing Projekt Meanwhile, Divine Barrel Brewing stepped forward from North Carolina, as did Source Brewing from New Jersey.

While the prospect of craft breweries getting involved in the mental health discussion may leave some scratching their heads, others feel the industry’s strong community aspect makes it an ideal platform for spreading awareness.

“I truly believe the craft beer industry is one of the best industries in the world, not just for the love of beer, but for the community that surrounds it,” says Libby Borchert, Tavour’s Business Development Manager.

“We fully support and love when breweries utilize their skills and platform to bring important subjects like mental health and wellness to light, and we wanted to do our part to amplify the cause!”

For Greg Taylor of Source Brewing, the decision to get involved was a meaningful way of recognizing that “many, if not most, of us are fighting some sort of internal battle... Connecting to another human being and having a meaningful conversation, with or without a beer in hand, can be extremely healthy and beneficial.”

As for his brewery’s rendition of Things We Don’t Say, Taylor is optimistic about its impact. “We hope that the can label art and messaging behind this campaign will spark a conversation and help to normalize everyday discussions around mental health,” he says. “Help people understand that it's okay to not be okay and ask for help. “

Tavour plans to release the beers in multiple variety packs during May to showcase the assortment of different breweries and the skill they each put into the beer. Tasters are encouraged to share photos of their collections via social media to help get the word out about Things We Don’t Say.

In the meantime, Schinker wants other brewers to know they can still hop on board the Things We Don’t Say effort.

“By no means is this project going away anytime soon,” he says. “Just because May is Mental Health Month doesn’t mean we can’t keep working to spread awareness.”

More resources about mental health treatment and awareness can be found on Hope For The Day’s website or at NAMI.org.

"Did I just hear my name?" Daniel said as he plopped himself beside them. "Hopefully only good things are being said." He teased.

"No one's talking about you, Daniel. Evie and I were just girl chatting, right Evie?"

"Sure." Evie would keep Libbie's secret crush quiet, for now.

"Well, while you two were girl chatting, I was suncreening to keep all of this burn free. Where's M at? Doing the same thing?"

"No. I don't think so." Evie spoke up. "They went to go see Head Counselor Hecking about a mix up with their swimsuit. They should be here soon."

"Well, don't you ladies worry. I'm more than enough to keep you company till they get here."

"Entertained? Daniel, I think you're confused." Evie rose an eyebrow.

"Evie's right, Daniel. We're supposed to be watching the kids." Libbie giggled.

"Well, I can do both!" He assured.

While they waited on M, Daniel moved closer to Libbie. Which Libbie totally, definitely was completely OK with, evidenced by her heavy breathing, sweaty palms and stiff smile the second he scooched next to her. All things that did not go unnoticed by Evie 😅

A new way to analyse old things

By Chris Turney, Alan Hogg, Paula J Reimer and Tim Heaton

Geological and archaeological records offer important insights into what seems to be an increasingly uncertain future.

The better we understand what conditions Earth has already experienced, the better we can predict (and potentially prevent) future threats.

But to do this effectively, we need an accurate way to date what happened in the past.

Our research, published in the journal Radiocarbon, offers a way to do just that, through an updated method of calibrating the radiocarbon timescale.

An amazing tool for perusing the past

Radiocarbon dating has revolutionised our understanding of the past. It is nearly 80 years since Nobel Prize-winning US chemist Willard Libby first suggested minute amounts of a radioactive form of carbon are created in the upper atmosphere.

Libby correctly argued this newly formed radiocarbon (or C-14) rapidly converts to carbon dioxide, is taken up by plants during photosynthesis, and from there travels up through the food chain.

When organisms interact with their environment while alive, they have the same proportion of C-14 as their environment. Once they die they stop taking in new carbon.

Their level of C-14 then halves every 5,730 years due to radioactive decay. An organism that died yesterday will still have a high level of C-14, whereas one that died tens of thousands of years ago will not.

By measuring the level of C-14 in a specimen, we can deduce how long ago that organism died. Currently, with this method, we can date remains up to 60,000 years old.

A seven-year effort

If the level of C-14 in the atmosphere had always been constant, radiocarbon dating would be straightforward. But it hasn’t.

Changes in the carbon cycle, impinging cosmic radiation, the use of fossil fuels and 20th century nuclear testing have all caused large variations over time. Thus, all radiocarbon dates need to be adjusted (or calibrated) to be turned into accurate calendar ages.

Without this adjustment, dates could be out by up to 10-15%. This week we report a seven-year international effort to recalculate three radiocarbon calibration curves:

IntCal20 (“20” to signify this year) for objects from the northern hemisphere

SHCal20 for samples from the ocean-dominated southern hemisphere

Marine20 for samples from the world’s oceans.

We constructed these updated curves by measuring a plethora of materials that record past radiocarbon levels, but which can also be dated by other methods.

Included in the archives are tree rings from ancient logs preserved in wetlands, cave stalagmites, corals from the continental shelf and sediments drilled from lake and ocean beds.

Ancient New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) logs like this example were used to help construct the calibration curves. This tree is about 40,000 years old and was found buried underground. Nelson Parker

In total, the new curves are based on almost 15,000 radiocarbon measurements taken from objects up to 60,000 years old.

Advances in radiocarbon measurement using accelerator mass spectrometry mean the updated curves can use very small samples, such as single tree rings from just one year’s growth.

Stalagmites from inside the Hulu Cave in China were key to estimating the amount of radiocarbon present in objects between 14,000 and 55,000 years old. Hai Cheng, Author provided

Reassessing old beliefs

The new radiocarbon calibration curves provide previously impossible precision and detail. As a result, they greatly improve our understanding of how Earth has evolved and how these changes impacted its inhabitants.

One example is the rate of environmental change at the end of the most recent ice age. As the world started to warm some 18,000 years ago, vast ice sheets covering Antarctica, North America (including Greenland) and Europe melted – returning huge volumes of fresh water to the oceans.

But the sea level didn’t rise at a consistent rate like the global temperature. Sometimes it was gradual and other times extremely rapid.

A prime location to detect past sea levels is the Sunda Shelf, a large platform of land that was once part of continental Southeast Asia.

One study published in 2000 showed mangrove plant remains found on the seabed recorded a catastrophic 16-metre sea level rise over several hundred years (about half a metre each decade). This event, known as Meltwater Pulse-1A, flooded the Sunda Shelf.

Our latest work has modified this story considerably. The new calibration curves reveal this extreme phase of sea level rise actually began 14,640 years ago and lasted just 160 years.

This equates to a staggering one-metre rise each decade – a sobering lesson for the future, considering the current much lower projected changes for the end of this century.

An extra half a millennium of art

Going further back in time, we also looked at some of the world’s oldest cave art in France’s Chauvet Cave, first discovered in 1994.

This cave contains hundreds of beautifully preserved paintings. They depict a European menagerie with long-extinct mammoths, cave lions and woolly rhinoceroses, captured in real-life scenes that provide a window into a lost world.

The Chauvet Cave reveals the artistic sophistication of our early ancestors in phenomenal detail.

With the new IntCal20 curve, our best estimate for the creation of the oldest radiocarbon-dated painting in the cave is now 36,500 years ago. This is almost 450 years older than previously thought.

These are just two of many more examples of the far-reaching impact our latest work will have.

As the new calibration curves are used to re-analyse ages of a host of archaeological and geological records, we can expect major shifts in our understanding of the planet’s past – and hopefully, a better forecast into its future.

Coronavirus: How California kept ahead of the curve

After a resident of California died of coronavirus on 4 March, Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency. It was the first Covid-19 related death in the US outside of Washington state.

More than 24,424 people have tested positive for coronavirus in California and 821 people have died. Yet the losses, while tragic, are a fraction of what experts predicted the state's 40 million people would face.

The virus is spreading fast in southern California and the state's Central Valley - so it's not out of trouble yet.

But considering the dire prediction made by Governor Gavin Newsom in March that up to 25 million Californians could be infected with coronavirus, the situation in California has been surprisingly well controlled.

State officials maintain they think the virus will peak in mid-May. Others think California could reach its peak this week.

The University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation projected in March that more than 6,000 people in California would die of coronavirus. This week, the institute revised their forecast - projecting that California will reach its peak on 17 April - with 1,783 deaths.

California has only tested 212,900 people - and not all of the tests have been processed - so the number of confirmed cases will likely be considerably higher. But the death rate is much lower than many expected.

So why is California faring so much better than many predicted?

The state acted early

California was the first place in the United States to issue shelter in place orders. Gov Newsom ordered California to shelter in place on 19 March - three days before New York.

The statewide order followed similar ones issued on 16 March by several Bay Area counties and cities - including San Francisco.

Residents were urged to stay home and only go to essential businesses, like grocery stores and pharmacies, when necessary.

But can a day or two really make that much difference? "Oh yes," said Dr Neha Nanda, the medical director of infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship at Keck Medicine, University of Southern California.

"Even being one day ahead can have a huge impact," she told the BBC. "The morbidity we will be able to avert, the mortality we will be able to avert - it's huge."

Because so little is known about the virus or how it can be treated, it makes prevention "more important than anything else," she said. "The most potent tool that you have in tool kit is social distancing."

The authorities took it seriously

On 9 March, Santa Clara county banned gatherings of more than 1,000 people. The ban came hours after a woman died in Santa Clara county. Soon, the limits on gatherings of 1,000 people became limits on groups of 50 people.

Many were shocked at the time about what limited gatherings would do to sports teams and musical and theatrical events.

But this didn't deter local officials - and San Francisco Mayor London Breed, Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf announced bans on gatherings several days later.

"Our first priority remains the health, safety and wellbeing of all Oaklanders, as well as those who visit our city," Mayor Schaaf said at the time.

"Although there are no known positive cases of Covid-19 within Oakland right now, postponing large gatherings will help prevent the spread of the virus. We take these measures to prepare and protect our community and ground our decisions in facts, not fear."

At the time it was inconceivable that e-sports would replace live sports and concerts would be staged on living room couches and filmed on phones.

"We've been proactive," Dr Nanda said, and a result "we have not seen that huge uptick".

The population is more spread out

Unlike densely packed New York where most people rely on public transportation, California is known for its urban sprawl and its love affair with the car.

New York City is three times as dense as the city of Los Angeles. And although Los Angeles County has more than 10 million people, many more Angelenos drive cars than New Yorkers.

According to a UCLA study from 2018, fewer than 3% of people in Southern California ride public transport frequently.

UCLA epidemiologist Dr Timothy Brewer said our urban sprawl may be helping stop the virus from spreading faster than in cities like New York or Detroit.

"We certainly don't have the population density of New York City," Dr Brewer said. "The less dense the population, the more easy it is to maintain physical distances from each other."
