Leamington Spa has been named the happiest place to live in Great Britain: in a study, he asked over 17,000 people across 159 areas of the country how happy they are where they live. Leamington Spa was said by locals to be a friendly place with a strong sense of belonging. There residents feel they can be themselves.

“LESS CROWDED BATH”

Samantha Holton, a town center specialist, described the town “a less crowded version of Bath”. She said, “The town is popular with young professionals due to its excellent transport links and easy commute to city centres such as Coventry, Birminghan and London. And families are attracted to the town due to the range of state, private and grammar schools the town has offered.”

From bars and live music venues to comedy at The Royal Spa Centre, Leamington Spa has a variety of entertainment. There are over 200 restaurants, pubs and coffee shop a in the town centre.

Some famous ones include Coffee Architects, Restaurant 23 and The Star & Garter.

STRONG TKANSPORT LINKS

Leamington Spa offers great access to the surrounding towns, as well as direct trains to London Marylebone in 80 minutes.

Clive Thompson, a local office manager, said that strong local employment is also a major draw, Jaguar Land Rover (a car manufacturer) is continuing to expand. And Aston Martin, National Grid, Warwick University and the computer games industry have all chosen the town as a base.

“Leamington Spa continues to remain a popular place to live and it all residents would agree.” he said. “We simply see lots of buyers move to the area and stay. Having found a town which offers many cultural and leisure facilities with easy access to and from, you can see why many are proud to call Leamington Spa home.”

A 10-year-old boy has been selling his collection of baseball cards to raise money for two friends who have been diagnosed with cancer. Brady Kahle of Springfield, Massachusetts, has sold over USMYM 13.000 in cards so far. The money will go toward medical hills for his friends Landen Palatino and Ben Manzi.

“Proud seems like such a small word for what we feet He is so selfless that he sells all his favorite baseball cards to raise money for his friends. Brady is so proud of what he’s doing. He’s so excited to make difference.” said his mother Jessie Kahle.

Jessie Kahle, 33, said she’s known the Palatinos and Manzis for many years. Ben. seven, was diagnosed with leukemia(白血病) in December 2015. while Landen, nine, was diagnosed on January 8,2016 with glioblastoma—a grade 4 brain tumor(肿瘤). “The tumor will be removed in two days and MRIs have shown no signs of any development,” said Landen’s mother, Tina Palatino.

After Brady learned of his two friends' battle with cancer, he asked his parents if he could sell his baseball cards to help. The Boys & Girls Club of Chilcopee, a youth development agency, allowed Brady to set up a table at its offices. He calls his project “Cards for a Cause”.

Brady has sold hundreds of thousands of baseball cards from the collection he started at three years old. including a Mickey Mantle card for USMYM150. He also sold singed hockey sticks, photos and original “Cards for a Cause” T-shirts. He's received many items as donations from collectors of sports memorabilia(收藏品). The trading card company Upper Deck invited Brady to its Heroic Inspirations campaign by printing his face onto his very own card.

Tina Palatino said she will be forever grateful to Brady and his family for their generosity. “Most children at Brady's age would never want to give up their favorite items and the fact that Brady wanted to sell his beloved cards to help us, is beyond heartwarming,” Tina Palatino said.

A research lab called DeepMind has created an artificial intelligence (AI) program which has largely solved a complicated puzzle that has challenged scientists for 50 years. The success could lead to huge advances in health care. The new puzzle solved by DeepMind is “protein folding”.

Proteins make up the bodies of all living things. Scientists have found over 200 million different kinds of proteins, but they don't know what shape most of them take.

The shape of protein controls how it acts. Based on their shapes, some proteins join together like puzzle pieces. In living things, proteins serve many purposes. Some proteins are used for building, some far carrying messages, others for causing chemical reactions. Knowing how these proteins are formed is important. The shape can make the difference between something that's helpful and something that can make you sick. Many medicines work by targeting the shape of a protein that is causing the illness.

But untangling the secrets behind how proteins fold has been slow and difficult. In some cases, it has taken years for scientists to learn how one simple protein folds. Now DeepMind's Al has shown that it can often do that same job in just a few days.

To accomplish this, the scientists created a program called AlphaFold using an Al method known as “Deep Learning”. In deep learning, computer programs sort deeply through huge amounts of information» allowing them to find patterns that humans are often unable to notice. These patterns can then be applied in new and surprising ways.

AlphaFold was trained by feeding it information about the make up of 170,000 proteins and how they folded. Once AlphaFold was trained, DeepMind entered it in a contest for solving protein folding challenges. AlphaFold did much better than other computer systems. And on two-thirds of the proteins, it did about as well as real scientists do in the lab. Though AlphaFold can figure out the shape for wide variety of proteins, it’s not perfect. It's likely that there will be many proteins that AlphaFold, with its current abilities, won't be able to handle.

2019 was the second warmest year on record around the globe. making the last decide the warmest in recorded history, according to a new government report that look nearly a year to publish.

Experts from NASA found that the average global surface temperature has consistently increased since the 1880s, which their analysis found bas been driven by emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases produced by human activity such ns energy production and transportation.

“We crossed over into the situation of more than two degrees Fahernheit warming in 2015 and we are unlikely to go back. This shows that what's happening is persistent, not an unusual situation due to some weather phenomenon: we know that the long term trends are being driven by the increasing levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere,” said Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

While the rise in temperature may seem small in terms of day-to-day weather, climate experts say even a small amount of warmer average temperatures can change weather patterns and lead to more serious consequences that it may not be possible to change as the trend continues.

The amount of heat in the ocean was also the highest ever recorded in 2019. The oceans absorb heat and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which not only raises the temperature but also makes the water more acidic, threatening sea life in many areas. Deke Arndt t chief of the global monitoring branch of NOAA s National Centres for Environmental Information, said ocean temperature is an important measure of overall trends, because roughly 90% of warming from greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is transferred to the ocean. Melting sea ice continued last year, creating a major decline. Numbers in 2019 show the second smallest coverage recorded in history in both the Arctic and Antarctic oceans.

A separate analysis from the non-profit Berkeley Earth found that 2019 was the second warmest year on Earth since 1850. That report found the global long-term average temperature will increase by an average of 2.7 degrees Fahrenheit by 2035 at the current rate of warming. That report says, “The increasing abundance of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to human activities is the direct cause of this recent global warming.”
