UTokyo and NARO Develop New Vertical Seed Distribution Trait for Soybean Breeding

We have probably all seen a soybean plant, about 1 meter high with leaves and pods compactly arranged on a main stem with a few short side branches. The wild relative of the domesticated soybean is a long vine with pods widely distributed on many side branches. Plant breeding by farmers thousands of years ago is to thank for this dramatic change.

Gunter Schickert - Uberfallig

Внезапно, охуеннейший прог альбом
в духе самых аутичных пассажей из группы Кэн
либо Кинг-Кримсона из 1980-х.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfUDBxwVwSg
Gunter Schickert - Uberfallig

Еще похоже на Spacemen 3 и что-то аналогичное
с лейбла 4AD, импровизационная гитара и сэмплы.
Последний трэк гитара с лупом и секвенсором,
как у Ashra.
Рецензия
:

Few people outside of a small fraternity of German music
specialists probably even remember the name G"unter
Schickert, and it's no exaggeration to call his 1979 album
"Uberfallig" one of the lost treasures of late '70s
Krautrock. For me, Schickert has remained an enigma for
close to thirty years, ever since I gave up trying to
decipher the dense, illegible scrawl of notes on the back
of the LP (a pointless exercise anyway: it's all in
German).

But he was certainly a unique talent, even within such a
wildly creative music scene. Schickert's style, at least
on this one album, employed multiple guitars to do (more
or less) what KLAUS SCHULZE and EDGAR FROESE were at the
same time doing with synthesizers and sequencers: building
layers of sometimes dreamy, sometimes tense ostinato
patterns over a subtle, shifting backbeat of driving
percussion. The rhythms are often provided by a heavy
application of echo to some unusual sound sources,
transforming a single splash of water or a labored gasp of
breath into a repetitive loop of hypnotic pulses.

The effect is especially striking on the two longer tracks
here, the aptly titled album opener "Puls", and the almost
12-minute long "Apricot Brandy". The former has the
cinematic momentum of a high-speed Hollywood chase; the
latter is a psychedelic rocker accelerating from a
semi-conscious dreamscape to a hyperkinetic rush of
overlapping guitars and voices.

Relief is provided by the ballad "In Der Zeit", sung in an
ominous half-whisper over an unadorned acoustic guitar,
and in the album's haunting finale "Wanderer", a brooding
piece of music perfectly matched to the empty autobahn
pictured on the back cover.

Altogether the album is somewhat reminiscent of (ex-NEU!)
guitarist MICHAEL ROTHER's early solo work, and in fact
was originally released on the same label (the always
reliable Sky Records). Schickert shared a similar approach
to pristine guitar minimalism, but with a darker, more
malevolent edge: he might have been the turbulent yin to
Rother's more angelic yang.

It's reassuring to find that Gunter Schickert hasn't been
completely forgotten. And, by a funny coincidence, a
translation of the album's title (Uberfallig = Overdue)
perfectly describes his status as a true Krautrock legend.

Fox Hosts ‘Don’t Remember Republicans Acting Out’ After Biden Won

It’s no surprise that the sore winners at Fox News are already working to demonize people that don’t love the Felonious p***y grabber as much as they do. But in this case, they really ought to come up with better material.

Media Matters caught the delusional exchange on Fox & Friends this morning. It started out with cohost Steve Doocy saying “people are all entitled to their opinion” but since Trump just won a four-year term, “just deal with it.”

Trump's Latest Insane Pick: Fox News Host Pete Hegseth For SecDef

Of all the insane choices Trump could make for his cabinet, I didn't even see this one coming

Pete fucking Hegseth? He's been a TV asshole since 2014.

Over the years I've described this jackass as Trump's personal fluffer.

I'm not questioning his service, but this is fucking Looney Tunes.

Hegseth was a failed nominee for Trump for the position of Veterans Affairs back in 2018.

NewsHound Ellen wrote this article at the time: Fox Host Pete Hegseth Outed As Self-Dealing, Adulterous Hypocrite, Passed Over For VA Nomination

This twit even had the nerve to claim the term Redskins was a term of respect when the Washington football was embroiled in the name controversy. Fox's Hegseth: 'Redskins' Used Historically As 'A Term Of Respect'

Recently his claim to fame was to get war criminals found guilty by military courts pardoned by Trump.

It’s bad enough that Donald Trump seemingly plans to “honor” Memorial Day by pardoning a slew of war criminals, it’s even worse that the decision came after secret lobbying efforts by Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth.
