Yoel Romero in DBXCredit: Dirty BoxingAt 47, Yoel Romero is still an insanely powerful athlete with devastating KO power. The 6-foot-6-inch Ras Hylton found that out firsthand on Saturday night in Miami for Dirty Boxing 1.In case you havent heard, Dirty Boxing Championship, aka DBX, is a new combat sport and promotion that combines boxing and MMA without the grappling. Romero headlined this major event that was boosted by the recent announcement that UFC great and current heavyweight champion Jon Jones is now co-owner of the promotion with Mike Perry.Romero wasted no time showing why he is the kind of fighter that fits well with DBXs vibe. Take a look as he systematically breaks Hylton down with body shots before going to the head for the finish.One fan posted: Beast.Another said: Yoel defying age yet again.Full Send MMA posted a hilarious comment about the size of Hyltons shoes which were further spotlighted because theyre bright red.In case youre wondering, Hylton is a 37-year-old mixed martial artist with a 10-8 record in that sport. He goes by the nickname Rasquatch the Jamaican Shamrock."While hes fought mostly for smaller promotions, he does have a 1-1 record with Bellator and 0-1 with the Professional Fighters League.In any case, he proved to be no match for Romeros skill and athleticism. Its hard to believe this man is 47 years old.As for DBX fighters, the athletes wear five-ounce gloves and are allowed to use punches of all kinds, including spinning backfists as well as elbows, forearms, palm strikes, and standing ground and pound. They arent allowed to kick, knee, or use takedowns as a part of their attack.The sport is seemingly designed to cater to the combat sport fan who doesnt want to see the grappling associated with MMA, but would prefer to see more action and striking variation than traditional boxing.We did see a few guys bending or breaking those rules on Saturday, but there was no doubt the fans in attendance were entertained. On a night that saw a UFC event finish with no knockouts, the DBX card delivered several.Also on the card, former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski scored a TKO win over Terrance Hodges when the latter couldnt continue due to a bad cut from the formers elbows.The caliber of athletes involved isnt the same, and the names headlining the shows are mostly guys who are past their primes. Still, Perry, Jones, and others involved may have something here.DBX feels like the wild cousin of boxing, bare knuckle, and mixed martial arts that could capture a piece of the market. As is the case with most sports, its going to come down to star power.If DBX can build and attract meaningful names, they will have a chance to explode. Thats the issue BKFC has to get past if it is going to take the next step. Right now, the biggest name associated with the promotion is former UFC champion and current part-owner Conor McGregor.At some point, itll need someone or a group of fighters to step up as the face(s) of the promotion. The same can be said for DBX. However, DBX has piqued my interest.Itll be interesting to see how long Romero can continue to compete, but he could be an important piece during the promotions early stages.

SpaceString theory may be our best attempt at a theory of everything, except that it can't describe an expanding universe like ours. Now a radical new twist on the idea could finally fix that but it requires us to completely reimagine reality 19 March 2025 Getty images/ShutterstockString theory is the best candidate we have for a theory of everything. Bend to its rule and the various tangled theories of conventional physics emerge as part of a sublime, higher-dimensional tapestry. It can unify all four of natures forces, including the most troublesome of all, gravity. With any luck, it can also tame big bangs and black holes without losing the thread.Theres just one catch: string theory cant explain a universe like ours. Its maths can describe gazillions of different possible universes, just not one expanding at an accelerating rate, which is precisely what we see ours doing. To be sure, no one knows what is driving this acceleration a mysterious dark energy is the usual placeholder. According to theory, though, it probably shouldnt be happening at all.For 25 years, this has been a big problem, but now we may have found a way past it. Superficially, the answer wont shock anyone used to the extravagance of modern physics: we just have to rethink our universe as part of a much grander enterprise. Do this, and it can balloon to its hearts content indeed, accelerated expansion seems to come naturally. But this new scheme may be the wildest yet, one in which our familiar space is delicately poised between high-dimensional hyperspace and complete nothingness. In our proposal, our existence is like a shadow a projection onto a wall at the end of the world, says Antonio Padilla, a physicist at the University of Nottingham in the UK.For all its present-day grandeur, string

JM Caf, White Pagoda Temple in Beijing / B.L.U.E Architecture StudioSave this picture! Zhi XiaInterior Designers: B.L.U.E Architecture StudioAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:210 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Zhi XiaSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. The project is located in the old city zone of Xicheng District, Beijing, adjacent to the west side of White Pagoda Temple. It is a renovation project of a 105 m2 coffee and bakery shop. The residential district and commercial district in this area are intertwined, creating a unique atmosphere full of vitality and local living culture. The square in front of the site is the core of the area, acting as a public space for people to gather. Besides, it also provides the opportunity to overlook White Pagoda Temple. The key to the design lies in how to balance the relationship between the site and White Pagoda Temple, and how to establish a sense of place in a broader urban context. In recent years driven by the government, White Pagoda Temple area has undergone large-scale urban renewal.Save this picture!The former courtyards have been transformed into cafs, shops, restaurants, etc., injecting new vitality and meanwhile attracting large amounts of visitors. Today, the area has become one of the birthplaces of Beijing citywalk culture, with a bustling crowd and vigorous vitality. Based on this background, we hope to create a space that can carry this vitality and continuity.Save this picture!The design starts from the walking experience of the hutong, passes through the lively square, extends to the interior, and then leads to the roof terrace, making a natural and smooth circulation, allowing people to immerse themselves in the coffee culture at different levels and perspectives, while feeling the historical heritage of the community. Finally, a multi-level caf space was created, extending from the square to the interior and leading to the roof terrace. It connects the city and the architecture, and allows people to perceive the pulse of the city during the walking experience, capturing the delicate balance between the new and the old, the dynamic and the stillness.Save this picture!Walking through the alley, a large stainless-steel faade comes into view. The faade is centered on the pedestrian's eye level, and the gradient treatment from mirror to frosted creates a unique change of lights and shadows. A constant stream of pedestrians occasionally captures the figure of themselves or the square in the reflection, forming a striking visual interaction. After walking through the stainless-steel faade, the large glass window reflects the entire caf space.Save this picture!Save this picture!The glass faade slightly recedes to the interior, subtly creating a semi-outdoor space. People sit here overlooking the square and enjoy a moment of tranquility, while the semi-outdoor space also functions as a shelter from rain. The stainless steel element extends from the faade to the interior, integrating the bakery display area, the cashier area and the kitchen. The ground stone adjusts the height and shape with the change of functional areas in a layer-by-layer way. The stone design sits from the square through the semi-outdoor space, to the deepest part of the interior, and the decoration strengthens the sense of spatial fluidity and layering. In the deepest part of the caf, the stepped seating area is surrounded by large plants, and the skylight brings in the sky view and abundant natural lights, making the space transparent and vibrant.Save this picture!Save this picture!The ground, the greenery, the vast sky and the lights and shadows interweave, allowing guests to enjoy the cozy atmosphere of the outdoors even when they are inside. Stepping outside through the exit next to the step seats, the guests can climb up the spiral stairs which lead directly to the roof terrace. People are free to enjoy the magnificent view of White Pagoda Temple and the urban veins intertwined between the square and the hutong. The rooftop seating area is equipped with a sculptural "white pagoda" made of the same material as the interior stone. The sculpture stands in the center of the space, and customers can enjoy bakery and coffee around it. Meanwhile, the new "white pagoda" is integrated into the square landscape, complementing with White Pagoda Temple in the distance, creating a unique urban landscape.Save this picture!Save this picture!The whole space is dominated by white and grey, which echoes the colors of White Pagoda Temple, and also forms a sharp contrast with the bakery on display. The white and light grey stones extend from the outdoor ground to the deepest wall of the interior. Each stone has different textures, responding to the stainless-steel volume inserted into the square. The three original wooden structural columns in the space are designed to sculptural forms to hide their original structures. They contrast with the simple and unified ground stone and stainless-steel volume, strengthen the sense of hierarchy of space, and attract the attention of pedestrians in the square. The frosted acrylic light boxes installed on the ceiling extend from the exterior to the interior, blurring the spatial boundary, while illuminating the grey brick exterior wall and the entire interior space. The exterior walls are equipped with irregular rectangular windows, whose random forms attract the attention of pedestrians, forming a visual focus, echoing the interior sculptural columns, emphasizing the unity and the sculptural sense of the space, eventually giving the place a stronger artistic expression.Save this picture!We respect the invisible power and trace of time contained in historical sites, and we think about how to fit the modern lifestyle to shape a new spatial form. Blurring the boundaries between architecture, the city and the surrounding environment allows the space to naturally blend into the urban texture and become an organic part of it. This is a significant process that we value. We expect that the environment combining old and new will not only preserve the depth of history, but also become a part of the city, bringing it new landscape and vitality.Save this picture!Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officePublished on March 23, 2025Cite: "JM Caf, White Pagoda Temple in Beijing / B.L.U.E Architecture Studio" 23 Mar 2025.
