Dansehallerne National Center for Dance and Choreography / Mikkelsen ArkitekterSave this picture! Adam MrkCultural Architecture, Dance HallKbenhavn, DenmarkArchitects: Mikkelsen ArkitekterAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:4500 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Adam MrkMore SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!Text description provided by the architects. Mikkelsen Architects has led the transformation of Kedelhuset into Dansehallerne's new national center for contemporary dance and choreography. Our transformation strategy has been to respect and stage the existing conservation values, with new additions dialoguing with the historical framework so that new and old mutually reinforce each other. The ground floor is arranged around a central core housing a foyer and bar, with dance studios, dressing rooms, and workshops radiating outward.Save this picture!A key feature of the transformation is the new box within Kedelhallen. Housing a black box stage, backstage facilities, and additional foyers, this intervention draws inspiration from the building's industrial past. The design references the monumental boilers that once occupied the space, with its raw aluminum cladding and perforated sine plates backed by acoustically absorbent mineral wool or glass panels. The box's transparency shifts subtly, while openable sections amplify its mechanical character. The wave-like profile of the box evokes the theatricality of a stage curtain, harmonizing with the hall's draped facade curtains that contribute to both light control and acoustic regulation. The box is designed for adaptability. Large sound-insulating doors connect the foyer to the hall, allowing the space to transform into a multifunctional venue where the architecture becomes part of the performance. The telescopic spectator stand retracts into a niche behind folding doors, enabling the box to present a unified, neutral facade when required.Save this picture!Above the foyer, a studio opens to the hall, creating a bridge between education and performance. This space allows school groups to observe the preparation of artists and technicians, offering a glimpse into the world of dance. The roof of the box features an open, multi-purpose studio with views of the hall, extending the spatial possibilities for creative use. Throughout the project, the industrial heritage is preserved and reinterpreted. Stairs and fixtures crafted from annealed steel echo the original black iron walkways, which once accessed the boilers and now serve as functional elements for stage technicians and performers. Restored overhead conveyors, formerly used to transport machinery, now support the hall's stage technology, aligning contemporary function with historical logic.Save this picture!Save this picture!The hall's roof has undergone a significant yet subtle transformation. The central timber structure, originally uninsulated, has been re-insulated with acoustically dampening mineral wool and finished with cover strips that replicate the original ceiling's appearance. This solution provides approximately 850 m of discreet acoustic regulation while maintaining the hall's authentic aesthetic. The lower roof surfaces, constructed of in-situ concrete, have been insulated externally to preserve the visual integrity of the original board formwork. Acoustic rafts on the ground floor are suspended independently of columns and beams, ensuring that the industrial character of the space remains intact. Exposed installations throughout the building pay homage to Kedelhuset's origins as a production facility, celebrating its raw, utilitarian aesthetic.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Kbenhavn, DenmarkLocation to be used only as a reference.

Please do not pilot your drones over the deadly wildfires raging across portions of Southern California. None of the footage is worth grounding emergency response planesor the potential jail time.The Federal Aviation Administration was forced to issue a reminder on January 9th, shortly after an unidentified civilian drone collided with a Canadair CL-415 Super Scooper at approximately 1PM PST over the Palisades firestorm.Anyone who interferes with emergency response operations may face severe fines and criminal prosecution, the FAA also posted on Thursday evening to social media. If you fly, emergency responders cant, they added, echoing a similar motto from the US Forestry Department.The resulting impact reportedly made a football-sized hole in one of the planes wings, forcing its pilots to end their response efforts and land nearby. No one aboard was injured during the emergency, but the Super Scooper on loan from Canada is now reportedly out-of-commission indefinitely.PHOTO: Firefighting aircraft damaged after colliding with drone over the Palisades Fire in Los Angeles, California.The plane landed safety and is grounded because of the damage. Officials are investigating. pic.twitter.com/UDAjalGyxR AZ Intel (@AZ_Intel_) January 10, 2025 So whose house is not going to get that water to protect it? a California Fire Department spokesperson told The New York Times on Friday.[Related: This crowdsourcing app is a lifeline for Californians tracking wildfires.]Manufactured by De Havilland Aircraft in Canada, the CL-415 Super Scooper is specifically designed to fly low over disaster zones and dump as much as 1,600 gallons of water at a time. What makes it particularly crucial in such emergencies is its ability to refill its water container in just 5-10 minutes. According to The War Zone, there are only two of these amphibious turboprop aircraft capable of handling such situations in Los Angeles.The FAAs temporary flight restriction (TFL) over the Los Angeles wildfires is currently in effect until at least January 23rd. A TFL applies not only to commercial airplanes, but amateur drone hobbyists, as well.Do not fly your drone near or around areas affected by the LA wildfires. Anyone who interferes with emergency response operations may face severe fines and criminal prosecution. If you fly, emergency responders can't. pic.twitter.com/UE5wqAlR1O The FAA :airplane: (@FAANews) January 10, 2025 Its a federal crime, punishable by up to 12 months in prison, to interfere with firefighting efforts on public lands, the FAA reminded the public on Thursday, adding anyone convicted can also expect up to $75,000 in fines.The FAA treats these violations seriously and immediately considers swift enforcement action for these offenses. The FAA has not authorized anyone unaffiliated with the Los Angeles firefighting operations to fly drones in the TFRs, the administration explained.Such steep penalties are apparently necessary to curb such incidents. Between 2014-2019, the US Forestry Dept. documented 165 drone incursions over wildfires. Aerial firefighting efforts were affected at least nine times alone in 2019.The Palisades fire has burned over 20,000 acres at the time of writingroughly the same area as Manhattan. At least 10 people have died as a result of the Los Angeles wildfires. Secret Los Angeles has compiled a list of resources to help emergency responders and evacuees.The post Civilian drone grounds LA firefighting plane appeared first on Popular Science.

The cranium from the Ephesos Octagon in the Collection of the Department of Evolutionary Anthropology, University of Vienna. The yellowed note coming with it says: "Skull from Ephesus. Gerhard Weber, University of ViennaShareAn archeological missing persons case has gotten a bit more complicated. Scientists have learned that a skull that long-believed to be that of Cleopatras sister Arsino IV actually belonged to a young boy. A team from the University of Vienna and Austrian Academy of Sciences analyzed the skull and found that the boy was likely between 11 and 14-years-old and suffered from an unknown developmental disorder. A genetic analysis also revealed that he was likely from Italy or Sardinia. The findings are detailed in a study published January 10 in the journal Scientific Reports.

She was the sister of Queen Cleopatra VII and the kings Ptolemy XIII and XIV. Arsino attempted to lead Egyptian forces against Cleopatra, who had allied herself with Julius Caesar and the Romans during the Alexandrian war. At the request of Mark Antonya Roman politician and Celopatras loverArsino was murdered in Ephesos, Turkey sometime around 41 BCE.In 1929, a skull was found in Ephesos, Turkey by Austrian archaeologist Josef Keil and his team. They found a sarcophagus that was completely filled with water in the ruins of a once elaborate building called the Octagon in Ephesos. While they didnt find any goods in the grave, there was a complete skeleton. Keil took the skull with him before the researchers closed the tomb.The initial analysis in Greifswald, Germany proposed that the grave belonged to a very distinguished person and probably a woman that was about 20-years-old Keil couldnt provide any hard data, but the skull made it to Austria when he began a new job at the University of Vienna. Weninger published an article in 1953 with photos and measurements and concluded that the skull represented a young woman who was of a refined, specialised type.In 1982, the rest of the skeleton was found in Ephesos. However, it was not found in the sarcophagus. The bones were in a niche in an antechamber of the burial chamber. A combination of archaeological records and the fact that Arsino IV was murdered in Ephesos around 41 BCE led archeologists and anthropologists to a new hypothesis in 1990. Arsino IV may have been buried in this elaborate tomb in Ephesos.View of the Octagon in Ephesos along Curetes Street. Only the marble-clad base has survived. CREDIT: Austrian Academy of Sciences/Austrian Archaeological Institute. A chromosomal surpriseIn this new study, a team of geneticists, orthodontists, dating specialists, and archeologists took a closer look at this skull. First, they used micro-computed tomography to create a very detailed digital image of the skull as an archival record. They then took tiny samples from the base of the skull and the inner ear to determine how old the person was when he or she died and obtain some DNA.They found that the skull dates to between 36 and 205 BCE, which corresponds well with the traditionally accepted date of death of Arsino IV (41 BCE). The geneticists also found a match between the skull and some samples from the femur. This means that the second skeleton that was later found in the anteroom actually belonged to the same person as the skull that Keil had removed from the sarcophagus in 1929.The Octagon cranium is scanned in the Vienna Micro-CT Lab to a resolution of 80 micrometers. CREDIT: Gerhard Weber, University of Vienna But then came the big surprise: in repeated tests, the skull and femur both clearly showed the presence of a Y chromosomein other words, a male, study co-author and University of Vienna archeologist Gerhard Weber said in a statement.The micro-CT data and closer study of the skull revealed that the boy from the Octagon was still in his puberty and was around 11 to 14-years-old. High-resolution images of the dental roots and the still developing skull base confirmed that this was a young teen. He also likely suffered from some sort of disease affecting his skull. One of his cranial sutures, which normally fuses at the age of 65, was already closed and gave the skull a very asymmetrical shape.According to the team, the most striking feature was the underdeveloped upper jaw. This is unusually angled downwards, but was more upwards and likely led to major problems with chewing. They looked at various dental joints and the two teeth remaining in the jaw to confirm this. While the first permanent molar did not show any signs of being used to chew food, the first premolar was chewed down and had clear cracks from overloading. The team believes that there was no regular tooth contact, a consequence of the jaw and face growing in an unusual way. While it is still unclear what led to these grown disorders, it may have been a vitamin-D deficiency or a genetic syndrome such as Treacher Collins syndrome.For archaeologists and anthropologists, the search for Arsino IVs remains can continue, without this rumor that her skull had already been found.

Health & MedicineAI could transform health care, but will it live up to the hype?The technology has the potential to improve lives, but hurdles and questions remain Antoine DorBy Meghan Rosen and Tina Hesman Saey2 hours agoThe U.S. health care system is rife with problemsas many Americans have experienced firsthand. Access to quality care is patchy, and medical costs can leave people with lifelong debt for treatments that dont always work. Frustration and anger at the systems failures were a flash point in the presidential election and may have factored in the December murder of UnitedHealthcares CEO.True progress in transforming health care will require solutions across the political, scientific and medical sectors. But new forms of artificial intelligence have the potential to help. Innovators are racing to deploy AI technologies to make health care more effective, equitable and humane.
