Thread:Comments:UN Report on Global Warming calls for rapid 'unprecedented' changes globally to limit planetary warming to 1.5 degree C/the 'new' U.N. report (2)

Just an FYI; the 'new U.N. report' that has prompted a flurry of political messages (even ones that may be personally appealing) is no longer an authoritative communication from IPCC. These various interim reports are not the Assessment Reports required by the UN Climate Convention. Group I (the natural science authority) has never concluded a cause for the general temperature rise in the 20th century but has remained, until AR5, " . . . confident that the CO2 signal will emerge . . .". They waited over 30 years. This 'new report' is PR from the policy side based on the old CMIP5 (CMIP5 = Coupled Model Inter-comparison Project on Climate Change, Report 5) that supported IPCC AR5 from 2013-14. IPCC AR6, that will carry the full endorsement of Group I, is due in 2022. CMIP6 was finalized at the end of 2017 and can be reviewed here: www.geosci-model-dev.net/10/2247/2017/gmd-10-2247-2017.pdf. A look at the abstract will reveal why the AR6 is delayed until 2022 (rather than the original 5 year rule). "Staying ahead of the curve" with mitigation and adaptation policies for possible future events seems prudent; over-commitment to an outcome not yet demonstrated to be actual is not. The science is in progress - reading beyond the 'Executive Summary' is important. Realizing that few will want to read a long paper, here is a pertinent paragraph from the conclusions section of the CMIP6 paper cited above. "6.3 Future forcing scenarios

In CMIP5, future solar irradiances assumed no long-term changes in the Sun and were obtained by simply repeating solar cycle 23 into the future. In CMIP6, we include a more realistic evolution for future solar forcing based on the weighted average of three statistical models constrained by past long-term solar proxy data; this shows a moderate decrease to a Gleissberg-type level of solar activity until 2100 for the REF scenario. We ignore scenarios with high levels of solar activity because the Sun just left such an episode (called a grand solar maximum), and several studies suggest that it is very unlikely to return to it in the next 300 years. In addition, we provide an EXT scenario for the future that can be used for sensitivity studies, which includes an evolution to an exceptionally low level of solar activity during the 21st century similar to that estimated for the Maunder Minimum."

Why should we think that Group I would make such a major addition to the 'grand inter-coupled model' if the old model yielded the material equivalence required for a valid conclusion?

User:Robertinventor/O2 solubility in Martian near-surface environments and implications for aerobic life - notes

These are notes to help with background research for the article: Cold salty water on Mars may have enough oxygen for air breathing microbes, possibly even simple animals like sponges

It is a theoretical rather than an experimental study, based on previously published research about the properties of salty brines on the surface of Mars. The relevance of the salts is that they let the brines remain liquid at very low temperatures as low as 140 K, that's -133 C. Even though there is little oxygen in the atmosphere, such low temperatures make it easier for it to enter the water.

Some highlights from my notes
Some highlights from my notes, many of them not mentioned in the articles about their research or in the press release:

 * 6.5% of the Mars surface, current Mars, would be able to support sponges with supercooling (a process that has been confirmed in experiments with brines mixed with regolith - the brines stay liquid right down to -133 C).

 * Some areas even would have oxygen levels the same as for modern Earth oceans

 * Mars has been tilted optimally for oxygen in the brines for the last 5 million years and will continue like that for at least another 10 million years.

 * When the axial tilt is more than 45 degrees (which happens with Mars occasionally, leading to equatorial ice sheets and ice free poles) then the levels of oxygen are not high enough for sponges.

 * For the last 20 million years there has always been enough oxygen for sponges according to their models, if the brines are there

 * Modern Mars would have more oxygen in its brines than early Earth did before the Great Oxygenation event

 * The oxygen in these brines may explain some weathering processes on Mars and even the methane seeps detected by Curiosity.

 * They only studied processes for the top few cms of the Mars surface and oxygen mixing with water in those layers (below that, then the ground would be permanently frozen except at geological hot spots or subglacial lakes.

 * They do not speculate about subglacial lakes so this is speculation by commentators on the article, not by the authors themselves and their research would not seem to apply directly to that situation so I think we shouldn't mention it, or if we do, as a question, not a suggestion.

Importance of oxygen for life
They open out by talking about why aerobic life (i.e. based on oxygen) is important

"Aerobic respiration is the most widespread and energetically favourable metabolism on Earth; it enabled complex multicellularity."

Existing research on brines
They then summmarize existing research on brines on Mars and on the oxygen levels needed for oxygen metabolism microbes (a millionth of a mole per cubic meter) and for primitive sponges (0.02 moles of oxygen per cubic meter).

Combining brine studies with a simplified general circulation model for Mars
They take this experimental and theoretical work about the brines and they combine it with a general circulation model for the Mars atmosphere. In this model they use temperatures averaged out throughout the day and year, ignoring seasonal and diurnal variations. So it is rather a simplified model but a first look at the situation there:

"To address these questions, first, we develop a comprehensive thermodynamic framework applicable to Martian conditions that calculates the solubility of O2 in liquid brines composed of water and salts, including perchlorates (Ca(ClO4)2, Mg(ClO4)2, NaClO4), chlorides (MgCl2, NaCl) and sulfates (MgSO4). The supply of O2 for our calculation is the atmosphere, and hence, our approach is valid for the surface and shallow subsurface (‘near surface’) only, where brines are assumed to communicate with the atmosphere.

Second, we couple this solubility framework to a Mars general circulation model (GCM)23,24 to compute the solubility of O2 as a function of annually averaged values of pressure and temperature varying with location on Mars today (for an obliquity of ~25°). Using annual average climate values precludes the specifics of diurnal and seasonal variations of these aerobic environments, but gives a concise first look into the regions that are most or least likely to sustain high O2 solubilities."

For the brines they go into a lot of theoretical detail about how they work out the solubility of oxygen into a brine taking account of the temperture and the various anions and cations in the water. This is theoretical, but it is also in agreement with experimental data - basically this section is justifying their model. I won't go into it in these notes. We can assume they got it right as it is straightforward non controversial chemistry and physics, and it passed peer review.

Eutectic mixtures and supercooling
They then look at eutectic mixtures and supercooling. Eutectics describe how if you mix salts with water then some of the salt may stay out of solution but the solution will automatically evolve to the optimal concentrations to stay liquid at the lowest possible temperatures as you cool it down. Salt moves in or out of solution as you cool it to keep it optimal.

Then with supercooling it can get even colder. Down to 140 K or -133 C. This is a quote from that section of the paper:

"Next to having very low eutectic temperatures, Mg- and Ca-perchlorate brines can exist as liquids in a supercooled state far below their eutectic temperature, as shown by experiments (~209 K and ~198 K, respectively), to ~140–150 K under modern Martian conditions"

They then give evidence that eutectic mixtures can form on Mars and may for instance be present in the recurring slope lineae - and that even when mixed with regolith (as they would be) can still be supercooled down to that 140 K or -133 C.

"Aqueous environments, in the form of brines, can exist today at, and especially below, the surface despite the thin atmosphere and overall cold climate. Recent evidence demonstrates hydrated magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) perchlorate salts at various locations on the Martian surface and shallow subsurface12–15, which indicate the existence of Mg(ClO4)2-Ca(ClO4)2-H2O brines, and which could, in some cases, be associated with flow structures such as the modern recurring slope lineae. Ca- and Mg-perchlorate brines exhibit a much lower freezing point than pure water, by as much as 60–80 K (refs 16,17), and at their eutectic composition, they effectively supercool down to 140–150 K before transitioning into a glass, even when mixed with Martian regolith simulant16. Calculations18 and experiments16 using brines containing Martian soil simulants with perchlorates (for example, an ana-logue of the Mars Phoenix landing site soil18) show that dissolved perchlorate concentrations can readily reach eutectic concentrations during freezing."

Levels of oxygen enough for microbes everywhere - levels for sponges with supercooling near the poles and can even reach concentrations typical of sea water
They do two versions of their calculations, with, or without supercooling. In both calculations they find that all the brines on Mars, no matter where they are, can potentially have oxygen levels high enough for microbes that use oxygen.

"We find that, on modern Mars—accounting for all uncertainties, for our best estimate and the worst case, both with and without super-cooling and also for temperatures above 273 K where our solubility model has been validated—the solubility of O2 in various fluids can exceed the level required for aerobic respiration of ~10−6 mol m−3 for microbes by ~1–6 orders of magnitude."

The question then is whether it can ever reach the 0.02 moles per cubic meter needed for sponges. They find that without supercooling it never reaches high enough concentrations for this. The best value at the south pole, without supercooling, is about a five thousandth of a mole per cubic meter (from the colour coding of their Figure 1 b)

The text summary says

"For our best estimate, but without supercooling, liquid perchlorate brines can occur primarily at equatorward latitudes below 50° and − 50°, with differences in potential O2 solubility of one order of magnitude, depending on the specific location (Fig. 3b).

Even for the worst case (with and without supercooling), values for the solubility of O2 in Ca- and Mg-perchlorate near-surface brines are generally 1–2 orders of magnitude above 10−6 mol m−3 (Figs. 2d,e and 3d)."

With supercooling they find that there are many oases where the oxygen levels on present day Mars can rise to levels high enough for sponges. There the thing about sponges is that they are made up of fine networks of sheets of cells. The salty water flows in and out of the sponge and the thin layers only one cell thick have salty oxygenated water passing by them on either side. So a small sponge a few mms in size can take in oxygen from the water rather readily. They cite a paper that says this can happen at 0.02 moles of oxygen per cubic meter. Not only that, the oxygen levels can even reach levels comparable to Earth's oceans today.

"For our best estimate (including supercooling), the results dis-play large gradients in O2 solubility for Ca- and Mg-perchlorates across Mars, with polar regions having the greatest potential to harbour near-surface fluids at 2 × 10−1 mol m−3 of dissolved O2, and the  least O2-rich environments in the tropical southern highlands  at ~2.5 ×   10−5 mol m−3 of dissolved O2. The O2 solubility of near-surface brines across Mars today could vary by five orders of magnitude (Fig. 3a). This trend results from lower temperatures at higher latitudes promoting O2 entry into brines."

There the highest value there they give, 0.2 moles per cubic meter of dissolved O2 in polar regions, is comparable to the levels in modern oceans on Earth.

MY COMMENT HERE: Remarkable! Modern fish would in principle get enough oxygen to live there - if they could withstand the perchlorates and the ultra cold temperatures at night of course, which modern Earth life couldn't do.

6.5% of the Martian surface could support enough oxygen for primitive sponges in the oxygenated brines
They find that 6.5% of the surface of present day Mars could have oxygen levels high enough for aerobic respiration by primitive sponges:

"Moreover, for supercooled Ca- and Mg-perchlorate brines on Mars today, ~6.5% of the total Martian surface area could support far higher dissolved O2 concentrations—enabling aerobic oases at dissolved O2 concentrations higher than 2 × 10−3 mol m−3, sufficient to sustain the respiration demands of more complex multicellular organisms such as sponges (Figs. 2 and 3). Such aerobic oases are common today at latitudes poleward of about 67.5° and about − 72.5° (Fig. 3a)."

This is where I assume they mean that the brines absorb the oxygen while supercooled and then retain it as they warm up to more habitable temperatures because the temperatures they consider, -133 C are very low, usually the limit for Earth life is -20 C. Alternative biochemistries could get to much lower temperatures by using a metabolism with perchlorates inside the cells, and hydrogen peroxide but they don't have anything to suggest they are talking about such biochemistries here.

Better for oxygen than early Earth before the great oxygenation event
They make a comparison with Early Earth before the "Great Oxygenation Event" that added oxygen to our atmosphere, and they find that Modern Mars, very surprisingly, will have better oxygenated brines than early Earth. Mainly because of the cold conditions there and the way that the perchlorates can be liquid at such low temperatures.

"By comparison, modern Mars enables greater O2 solubilities due to its much colder surface temperatures in relation to early Earth and a small but relevant amount of atmospheric O2. Thus, in principle, Mars could offer a wide range of near-surface environments with enough dissolved O2 for aerobic respiration like that seen in diverse groups of terrestrial microorganisms."

Chemical weathering
They comment that at the levels they calculated, oxygen in the brines could contributed to the chemical weathering of rocks, and also the release of methane, both surprising recent and hard to explain observations on Mars.

"At the solubilities we find, O2 could play a role in chemical weathering of Mars’s crust11,36 and may help to explain a range of surprising geochemical, geological and atmospheric observations, including the presence of highly oxidized phases in Martian rocks9–11 and seasonal variability of methane at Gale crater37."

Mars' axis is currently optimally tilted for oxygen rich brines
They find that Mars currently has the potential for far higher oxygen levels than normal. For the last 5 million years they would have been particularly oxygen rich. The 15 million years before then would have seen oxygen levels 200 times lower than they are today. This is due to changing tilt of the Mars axis (our axis is stabilized by the Moon while Mars soemtimes tilts so far, beyond 45 degrees tilt, that it has equatorial ice sheets and ice free poles).

"Integrating these results with obliquity variation through time22, it is apparent that the past 5 Myr have supported particularly O2-rich environments (Fig. 4c), while the preceding 15 Myr favoured average maximum O2 solubility values in Mg- and Ca-perchlorate brines up to ~200 times lower than today."

They show that when tilted by more than around 45 degrees - when Mars loses its polar ice caps and its atmosphere becomes much thicker, then the oxygen levels are no longer high enough for sponges. However this hasn't happened in the last 20 million years. Projecting forwards, it should continue at its current high levels similarly to the last 5 million years for at least 10 million years into the future (from their figure 4).

They conclude that this is a new way to get levels of oxygen on a planet that are high enough for aerobes, without the need for photosynthetic life to create it.

"On Earth, aerobic respiration appears to have followed in the evolutionary footsteps of oxygenic photosynthesis, reflecting the scarcity of O2 on Earth before photosynthesis. However, by sourcing O2 in a different way, Mars shows us this need not be the case, broadening our view of the opportunities for aerobes on other planetary bodies."

Hi. We can't accept copyrighted news articles from elsewhere.

I recommend taking a look at Pillars of writing, which is a compact overview of what we do here. After that, there's a good tutorial on writing a first article for Wikinews at Writing an article; and it has an article creation form which helps with providing the basic formatting templates. --Pi zero (talk) 14:28, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

The first pillar of Wikinews writing is that articles aren't just posted to Wikinews. You need to write an article conforming to our policies and guidelines, and submit it for review. You can read about the other principles an article should conform to at Pillars of writing; then, I suggest reading Writing an article, which is a good tutorial on writing a first article, and has an article creation form that automatically provides you with several required formatting elements. --Pi zero (talk) 03:22, 28 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Were you having trouble with wiki markup on that page? I'm wondering if you're using that egregious "VisualEditor" (VE) thing.  If you're using an ordinary edit window (rather than VE), what you'd want for the develop tag is simply the word "develop" surrounded by double braces; the text in the edit window would look like this:

Hi. I reviewed your article. It's clearly improved, but there were significant problems. That's not surprising for a first submitted article, of course; the first is always a massive learning experience, trying to get a handle on the various things needed (hopefully it gets much easier, with later articles, as one gets a feel for the basics). Please see my review comments, and . --Pi zero (talk) 00:21, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

User:Robertinventor/Draft email on o2 on Mars

Dear Vlada Stamenković

Hi, I was fascinated by your recent research paper about the prospects for oxygen rich brines on Mars, perhaps even enough for simple animals such as sponges. I'm a science blogger who often writes blog posts on my Science 2.0 blog and on Quora about astrobiology and planetary protection, and a volunteer reporter for Wikinews.

I am writing an article about your research right now, which will be submitted for review to the Wikinews site. See our Mission statement. I am required by Wikinews to say that I am an independent reporter and do not represent the Wikimedia foundation. I will also add the article to Science2.0.com and to my Astrobiology wiki, where it does not require peer review and would be published immediately.

After reading your paper and the other online articles about it from Scientific American, National Geographic etc, I had a few questions which I could not find answers to in those sources, or in the Caltech press release.

Here are my questions and I will much appreciate it if you have time to answer:

 * Have you looked into possibilities for the oxygen to get into the subglacial lakes at the poles? Could these potentially be highly oxygenated like lake Vostok?
 * The temperatures for the highest levels of oxygen are really low -133 C, so, is the idea that this oxygen would be retained when the brines warm up to more habitable temperatures during the day or seasonally? Or would the oxygen be lost as it warms up? Or - is the idea that it has to be some exotic biochemistry that works only at ultra low temperatures like Dirk Schulze-Makuch's life based on hydrogen peroxide and perchlorates internal to the cells as antifreeze?
 * How quickly would the oxygen get into the brines - did you investigate the timescale?
 * Could the brines that Nilton Renno and his teams simulated forming on salt / ice interfaces within minutes in Mars simulation conditions get oxygenated in the process of formation? If not, how long would it take for them to get oxygenated to levels sufficient for aerobic microbes? For instance could the Phoenix leg droplets have taken up enough oxygen for aerobic respiration by microbes?
 * I notice from your figure 4 that there is enough oxygen for sponges only at tilts of about 45 degrees or less. Do you have any thoughts about how sponges could survive periods of time in the distant past when the Mars axial tilt exceeds 45 degrees, for instance, might there be subsurface oxygen rich oases in caves that recolonize the surface? Also what is the exact figure for the tilt at which oxygen levels sufficient for sponges become possible? (It looks like about 45 degrees from the figure but the paper doesn't seem to give a figure for this).
 * The article says that the highest levels of oxygen can be the same as for Earth's oceans, 0.2 moles per cubic meter. So, does your research suggest any potential for oases for more demanding life such as sea worms or even creatures with a backbone on present day Mars?
 * Phys.org quote you as saying: "I am a big promoter of looking for current habitable environments, and we can do that by starting to explore if there is liquid water on Mars. To that end, Stamenkovic is working to develop a new tool, no bigger than a shoe box, that could be used to find water on Mars and determine its salinity, no digging necessary. Can you say a bit about how this device would work. I can't find anything about it on the internet.
 * Do you have any plans to look at a more complex atmospheric model with seasonal and daily temperature and atmospheric pressure variations?
 * Any future conference talks on the topic we can mention for our readers?
 * Also interested in other plans for future research to build on your paper.
 * Are there any YouTube videos of a press conference or any radio interviews since the study that we can link to?
 * We are also interested in details about the researchers, their role in the study and if you have photographs of the researchers we can use in the article.
 * We'd like to use two of your figures in the article - Figure 3 (the map of variations in oxygen concentrations in potential brines) and Figure 4 (variation in oxygen concentration over past 20 million years and forwards 10 million years in the future). But they are behind a paywall. Is this publicly available under a suitable license, creative commons or similar? Or is there any publicly viewable article that has these figures that we can link to as a source?

If you have time to answer these questions it would be great.

thanks!

Robert (Walker) ---

Note: we will add a publicly viewable copy of relevant parts of our correspondence such as your answers to these questions to the collaboration page on Wikinews for other collaborators to view. Any personal details such as email addresses would be redacted. I hope this is okay with you.

An alternative is to forward all correspondence via email to the reviewer of the article.

I would also like to publish your answers to the questions in the format of an email interview on my astrobiology wiki and possibly on Wikinews, if this is acceptable to you.

The Wikinews article, in progress is here Cold salty water on Mars may have enough oxygen for air breathing microbes, possibly even simple animals like sponges

The extended article will be published here: And as a new section in my online book on planetary protection and astrobiology here:
 * Encyclopedia of Astrobiology
 * Robert Walker's blog on Science 2.0
 * Mars and Space blog on Quora
 * Touch Mars? Europa? Enceladus? Or a Tale of Missteps?

Template:Fmbox/doc

Usage
This is the fmbox or footer & header message box template.

It can be used to build message boxes for system messages such as MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer-anon. It can also be used for footer and header boxes on user pages and for editnotices.

This template works similarly to ambox and mostly uses the same parameters. The main differences are that this box is 100% wide and has different colour styles.

Usage
Simple usage example:

Complex example:

Footer and header message box types
The following examples use different type parameters but use no image parameters thus they use the default images for each type.

Other images
The default images shown above are mostly for testing and demonstration. In most cases it is more appropriate to use a more specific image or no image at all. These examples use the image parameter to specify an image other than the default image.

Special
Some other parameter combinations.

Parameters
List of all parameters:

type
 * If no type parameter is given the template defaults to type system. That means it gets a light grey background.

image
 * No parameter = If no image parameter is given the template uses a default image. Which default image it uses depends on the type parameter.
 * An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:
 * none = Means that no image is used.
 * none = Means that no image is used.

imageright
 * No parameter = If no imageright parameter is given then no image is shown on the right side.
 * An image = Should be an image with usual wiki notation. 40px - 50px width are usually about right depending on the image height to width ratio. (But the message box can handle images of any size.) For example:
 * Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.
 * Anything = Any other object that you want to show on the right side.

id
 * Optional CSS id used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks . Mostly meant to be used to tag a message box with its name, to make it easy to detect the presence of the message from javascript. For instance MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer would use:

class
 * Optional CSS class names used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks . Mostly meant to be used to tag a message box with its name so it can be individually skinned. For instance MediaWiki:Sp-contributions-footer would use:

style
 * Optional CSS values used by the entire message box table. Without quotation marks  but with the ending semicolons  . For example:

textstyle
 * Optional CSS values used by the text cell. For example:

text
 * The message body text.

Technical details
This template currently uses hard coded styles and class names. Later it will only use CSS classes making it easier to skin. (In the meantime it can be skinned by using the " " keyword.)

If you need to make a box that is less than 100% wide, then do not use this box, instead use the ombox. Since this box doesn't have the "1px empty image cell" code that makes it so the other mboxes get proper box flow in all browsers when less than 100% wide.

If you need to use special characters in the text parameter then you need to escape them like this:

</nowiki>. And now a pipe and end braces <nowiki>|}}</nowiki>. }}

. And now a pipe and end braces |}}. }}

Internally this meta-template uses HTML wikimarkup instead of wikimarkup for the table code. That is the usual way we make meta-templates since wikimarkup has several drawbacks. For instance it makes it harder to use parser functions and some special characters in parameters.

The default images for this meta-template are in png format instead of svg format. The main reason is that some older web browsers have trouble with the transparent background that MediaWiki renders for svg images. The png images here have hand optimised transparent background colour so they look good in all browsers. Note that svg icons only look somewhat bad in the old browsers, thus such hand optimisation is only worth the trouble for very widely used icons.

Note to admins: MediaWiki does not parse and convert HTML wikimarkup in system messages the same way as it does for normal pages. This means for instance that  is not automatically converted to   and missing   and   tags are not automatically added. Thus see to that any HTML code you use in system messages are valid XHTML. That is, close all tags that you begin. However, regular wikimarkup works fine in most system messages.

Technology giant Microsoft completes acquisition of GitHub

October 29, 2018 On Friday, US-based technology giant Microsoft confirmed acquisition of software code hosting and version controlling website GitHub. The announcement was made by Microsoft via their official blog, which also mentioned was to become new Chief Executive Officer of GitHub.

Microsoft had announced plans to acquire GitHub for a price of 7.5 billion US dollars (USD) on June 4. On October 19, the European Union's regulators approved the acquisition. According to the June announcement, Microsoft was to pay the amount in stock.

After Microsoft made the announcement, Microsoft CEO tweeted, saying, "I'm thrilled to welcome GitHub to Microsoft. Together, we will continue to advance GitHub as a platform loved by developers and trusted by organizations."

In a GitHub blog titled "Pull request successfully merged. Starting build...", Nat Friedman said making the platform "accessible to more developers around the world" as well as "[r]eliability, security, and performance" were in "top of mind for" them. He also stated, "GitHub will operate independently as a community, platform, and business" and "will retain its product philosophy", keeping "its developer-first values". He also wrote today was to be his first day as GitHub's CEO.

Friedman was previously the CEO of, a software company that allows developers to create native , and  applications written in the. Microsoft acquired Xamarin in 2016.

According to Friedman's blog, GitHub is used by more than 31 million developers worldwide. Technology giants including companies like, Apple, Google, Facebook and Microsoft itself have been using GitHub for their open-source projects. However, on May 31, days before Microsoft announced plans for GitHub acquisition, desktop environment software completed moving from GitHub to, another software code sharing, hosting and version control providing website, a competitor of GitHub.

Syria's National Museum re-opens after six years of civil war

October 31, 2018

In a ceremony attended by archaeologists and restoration specialists, authorities re-opened Syria's this Sunday, after six years of military conflict. Representatives of the government represented this as a milestone in the return to normalcy after recent victories in Syria's civil war.

The museum displays include archaeological exhibits dating back to prehistoric times, cloth from the ancient city of, and live demonstrations of restoration of pieces damaged during the war.

The Syrian Minister of Culture, Mohamed al-Ahmad, said in a speech, "The opening of the museum is a genuine message that Syria is still here and her heritage, would not be affected by terrorism [...] Today, has recovered."

The war in Syria, which has claimed reportedly over 350,000 lives, began in 2011, and the museum was closed in 2012, though the gardens remained open to the public. Authorities managed to remove and store reportedly about 300,000 cultural artifacts. Various sites were destroyed in the conflict. Palmyra, a, was taken over by Islamic State and subjected to deliberate damage. According to Mahmoud Hammoud, a Syrian official in charge of antiquities and museums, several hundred thousand artifacts were also smuggled out of the country, while, as of the opening, about 9,000 artifacts had been recovered or restored.

This comes as representatives from Russia, France, Germany and Turkey met in Istanbul to discuss the Syrian conflict, amid United Nations statement that the Syrian government is delaying the writing of a new constitution for the country.

Verify
I could not confirm "from multiple countries" in the first paragraph. The source says "foreign". --Gryllida (chat) 01:44, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * EDIT CONFLICT: I didn't want to copy the source too closely and have people complain about "distance" again. It's out, though.
 * The sources do not say who specifically did the restoration or even which branch of the government supervised it. There's a quote from one restorer, but it's only said that he worked on "Palmyra," with nothing that he did any of the restorations for this museum in particular.  If an additional source is needed for "authorities re-opened the museum," there's Radio Free Europe, but it's a fine enough line that I wouldn't automatically add another source to the workload.  I changed some of the tenses as you asked but "is delaying" has to stay because "was delaying" means "isn't delaying any more; the delaying is over." In the context it's in, I'm confident this will not be misread. Darkfrog24 (talk) 01:46, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

 * My comment, "I much prefer it when you talk about the article itself," was a direct response to Gryllida's question "What is Palmyra? The article does not say" (talking about the article itself instead of me personally). In other words, Gryllida did things the way I happen to like, and I stated my preferences BECAUSE they did, like a compliment. Then the anon moved my comment in a way that changed its meaning.   Don't do that.
 * Also, if you'd looked at the article, you'd have seen that the explanation was already added before you got here. You made the unnecessary comment. Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:31, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Oh shoot, Gryllida moved my comment?
 * Well, sorry about the comment-moving bit, Anon, but I'm standing by the "check the article before complaining to me."
 * But yes, I don't like it when people make things personal. I find it much more productive to talk about the article, as Gryllida did in this case. Darkfrog24 (talk) 13:02, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment, Darkfrog24. My comment, too, was misplaced; it was meant to be a reply to the anonymous comment. --Gryllida (chat) 03:39, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

Football: Suárez scores hat-trick as Barça thrashes Real Madrid 5-1

October 30, 2018 On Sunday, FC Barcelona defeated Spanish capital football club Real Madrid 5–1 in week 10 of LaLiga at the stadium. One goal each from Philippe Coutinho and Arturo Vidal and a by Luis Suárez guided Barcelona to victory, as the Catalan club reached 21 points, at the top of league table standings.

Sergio Busquets wore the captain armband for Barcelona while Sergio Ramos captained the visiting Madrid team. Barcelona's talisman Lionel Messi was not in the team due to a fractured arm. Barcelona opened the scoring early, in the 11th minute. Brazilian forward Coutinho scored the first goal in the 11th minute, assisted by Jordi Alba. A few minutes later, Luka Modrić assisted Gareth Bale who tried to equalise for Real Madrid, but was stopped by Barcelona's goalkeeper.

In the 26th minute, Toni Kroos tried a through ball but Marcelo Vieira was caught offside. Two minutes later, French defender Raphaël Varane committed a foul and brought down Barcelona's striker Luis Suárez in the penalty area. After consulting the video assistant referee, match official José María Sánchez awarded Barcelona a penalty kick. Real Madrid's goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois guessed the direction of Suárez's kic correctly, but could not stop the spot kick as Barcelona was 2–0 at the half-hour mark. In the 38th minute, Barcelona's midfielder Ivan Rakitić was shown yellow card, and in the next minute, Real Madrid's was booked as well. The first half ended with the Catalan side leading 2–0.

In the beginning of the second half, replaced Varane. In the 50th minute, Marcelo scored the goal for Madrid. In the 53rd minute Bale was booked for a bad foul. Karim Benzema's 53rd minute attempt to equalise for Madrid was blocked. In the 69th minute, Barcelona made a substitution, as was substituted off for, and five minutes later,  replaced Coutinho.

In the 75th minute, Sergi Roberto assisted Suárez and the Uruguayan scored a header as Barcelona led 3–1. Suárez received a yellow card in the 77th minute. Roberto assisted Suárez again, in the 83rd minute. Suárez chipped over Courtois, scoring the fourth Barcelona goal of the game. Arthur was swapped with Arturo Vidal a minute later. Vidal headed Dembélé's cross in the 87th as Barcelona finished the match 5–1, collecting three points from the game.

Madrid is currently ninth in the LaLiga standings with fourteen points. This was Madrid's fourth defeat in the ten league games played so far this season.

After the match, Real Madrid's captain Ramos said,.

Hi. Wikinews doesn't allow advertising/promotion. We're for objectively reporting on current events. There's a good compact overview of what we do here at Pillars of writing.

Category talk:La Liga

flagMaybe there should be a separate category for LaLiga match reports, and for every league as well. •–• 12:09, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Interesting. Whilst it doesn't fit with our usual cat creation scheme, it fits with the purpose of our categories. As cats are there for the hypothetical researcher, interested in a topic, it seems to me some people might want to just read match reports while others might want to filter them out for general league news; in fact, the same person might at different times want to do each of those. So, providing (as usual) we have sufficient articles to justify the effort, I give this my support. (I think we maybe had something like a match reports cat long ago, that didn't work well; we've managed to evolve our category system to handle significantly more than it ever could back then. IIRC any old system being abandoned would be no bar to this one being implemented.) BRS  (Talk)   (Contribs) 14:29, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

 * Certainly worth consideration once we reach a number which can justify it. As it is there's only 31 articles in La Liga on the whole. It's not exactly bursting at the seams. I am taking the liberty of removing the flag pending future articles. --SVTCobra 03:02, 4 September 2019 (UTC)

Earlier today you moved one of my comments in a way that changed its meaning. I was responding to what Gryllida said, not bringing things up out of the blue. You have made things unnecessarily hostile. Ordinarily, it's okay to change section headers, but this time, moving my comment away from what I was responding to made it look like I was criticizing Gryllida instead of complimenting them. Don't do that. Darkfrog24 (talk) 12:35, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

User:Gryllida/Common words to avoid

= Words to Avoid (or Use with Care) Because They Are Loaded or Confusing = Similarly to this resource (from gnu.org), at Wikinews we avoid some words commonly used by mainstream media.

"Terrorism"
This is an attention catching word meant to incite panic and invite attention of the reader to the headline.

Mainstream media often uses this word
 * without clearly specifying the motive or
 * without specifying the evidence behind it - often mainstream media uses the word at a whim, even if motivation is unknown.

It is better to
 * say what was done (a murder or a traffic accident or other attack type) and how many people injured, and
 * list the evidence about motivations, specifically, with attribution.

User talk:Gryllida/Common words to avoid

Terrorism
A remark commonly uttered when telling people not to use terrorism/terrorist in Wikinews's own voice is "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter" (hm, really ought to use modernizing gender-neutrality techniques but two-syllable alternatives like "person" have less punch). I recall in a discussion (with BRS) making the point that politicians weaponize these terms. --Pi zero (talk) 03:11, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

In pictures: thousands attend 16th annual Taiwan Pride

October 30, 2018 On Saturday, over a hundred thousand people reportedly gathered in Taiwan's capital and participated in the 16th annual lesbian, gay, transgender and bisexual (LGBT) Pride. According to the organisers, about 137 thousand people participated in the largest LGBT Pride of Asia.

People marched with banners and placards which read "love is equal" and "vote for your happy future". Of the many attendees, also participated in the parade. Civil rights activist Chi Chia-wei was first to come out as homosexual on Taiwan TV, in 1986.

Pride attendees gathered near the President 's office where the Pride parade started. The attendees protested for education of same-sex marriage in schools. In May 2017, the Taiwanese court had ruled same-sex marriage as legal, and had set a two-year period for its legalisation including the time to amend the law, if required.

With just six months remaining from the proposed deadline, some groups including some churches have been pushing for preventing same-sex getting a legal recognition, saying marriage is "a bond between one man and one woman."

Taiwan's court ruled Article 972 of Civil code "unconstitutional", which defined marriage only between opposite genders, but a separate public vote is scheduled to happen on November 24 regarding the law about same-sex marriage.

During the LGBT Pride, drag queen Chin Kuang-chih said, "We hope the government will take the issue seriously. It's a pity that there has been no action after the court decision". At the scheduled deadline, same-sex marriage is to be automatically legalised if the government does not reach a conclusion about the law.

Taiwan Pride was first organised in 2003.

 * Which past do you most admire and why?

 * . Hey, he wrote the . I would, however, change the phrase, "that ," to "that all people are created equal"!

 * How have your past experiences prepared you for the job of President?

 * The most important preparation for the job of president is to learn that businesses and families and people everywhere are better off when they are free to run their own lives without government interference. My grandmother, who immigrated from Denmark, instilled in me a love of freedom when I was a child. Ever since, life has taught me, over and over, that government must be strictly bound to protecting our life, liberty and property - and nothing more.

 * How would you describe your style of leadership? How does it compare to the leadership styles of President Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama?

 * My leadership style is rooted in the principle, "." I will assemble a cabinet and staff that, with me, will scrutinize any proposal for use of government force for any purpose. That's the polar opposite of both President Trump, former President Obama, and his former Vice President [Joe] Biden.
