CORONAVIRUS :

BEIJING’S GALLERY

WEEKEND AND UCCA

CENTER FOR

CONTEMPORARY ART

HAS BEEN FORCED TO

CANCEL OR DELAY

THEIR EVENTS

A coronavirus is one of a number of viruses

that cause diseases in mammals and birds.

In humans, the viruses cause respiratory infections,

including the common cold, which

are typically mild, though rarer forms such

as SARS, MERS and 2019-nCoV can be

lethal. Symptoms vary in other species: in

chickens, they cause an upper respiratory

disease, while in cows and pigs coronaviruses

cause diarrhea. There are no vaccines

or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human

coronavirus infections.

Coronaviruses are in the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae

in the family Coronaviridae,

in the order Nidovirales.

The name “coronavirus” is derived from

the Latin corona, meaning crown or halo,

which refers to the characteristic appearance

of the virus particles (virions): they

have a fringe reminiscent of a crown or of a

solar corona.

UCCA Center for Contemporary Art or

UCCA (simplified Chinese. traditional

Chinese: pinyin: yóu lún sī dāng dài yì

shù zhōng xīn) is a leading Chinese independent

institution of contemporary art.

Founded in 2007 out of a commitment to

bring Chinese contemporary art into global

dialogue, it has since become a cultural

landmark for Beijing, a conduit for international

exchange, and an incubator for

new talent. Located at the heart of the 798

Art District in, China,[2] it welcomes more

than one million visitors a year.

Originally known as the Ullens Center

for Contemporary Art, UCCA underwent

a major restructuring in 2017 and now

operates as the UCCA Group, comprising

two distinct entities: UCCA Foundation, a

registered non-profit that organizes exhibitions

and research, stages public programs,

and undertakes community outreach; and

UCCA Enterprises, a family of art-driven

retail and educational ventures. In 2018,

UCCA opened an additional museum,

UCCA Dune, in Beidaihe, a seaside resort

town close to Beijing. UCCA’s work grows

from its core belief that new art can change

lives, broaden perspectives, and enrich

the conversation between China and the

world.

STRANGE OBJECTS FOUND NEAR

SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE THAT’S

EATING EVERYTHING

A black hole is a region of spacetime exhibiting gravitational

acceleration so strong that nothing—no particles or even

electromagnetic radiation such as light—can escape from

it.[6] The theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently

compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.[7]

[8] The boundary of the region from which no escape is possible

is called the event horizon. Although the event horizon has

an enormous effect on the fate and circumstances of an object

crossing it, no locally detectable features appear to be observed.

[9] In many ways, a black hole acts like an ideal black body, as

it reflects no light.[10][11] Moreover, quantum field theory in

curved spacetime predicts that event horizons emit Hawking

radiation, with the same spectrum as a

black body of a temperature inversely

proportional to its mass. This temperature

is on the order of billionths of a kelvin

for black holes of stellar mass, making it

essentially impossible to observe.

Objects whose gravitational fields are too

strong for light to escape were first considered

in the 18th century by John Michell

and Pierre-Simon Laplace.[12] The first

modern solution of general relativity that

would characterize a black hole was found

by Karl Schwarzschild in 1916, although

its interpretation as a region of space from

which nothing can escape was first published

by David Finkelstein in 1958. Black

holes were long considered a mathematical

curiosity; it was during the 1960s that theoretical

work showed they were a generic

prediction of general relativity. The discovery

of neutron stars by Jocelyn Bell Burnell

in 1967 sparked interest in gravitationally

collapsed compact objects as a possible

astrophysical reality.

to grow by absorbing mass from its surroundings.

By absorbing other stars and

merging with other black holes, supermassive

black holes of millions of solar masses

may form.

There is consensus that supermassive black

holes exist in the centers of most galaxies.

ON ITS WEBSITE

Nike, Inc. (/ˈnaɪki/)[note 1] is an American multinational corporation that is engaged

apparel, equipment, accessories, and services. The company is headquartered near

Beaverton, Oregon, in the Portland metropolitan area. It is the world’s largest supplier of

athletic shoes and apparel[3] and a major manufacturer of sports equipment, with revenue

in excess of US$24.1 billion in its fiscal year 2012 (ending May 31, 2012). As of 2012,

it employed more than 44,000 people worldwide. In 2014 the brand alone was valued at

$19 billion, making it the most valuable brand among sports businesses.[4] As of 2017, the

Nike brand is valued at $29.6 billion.[5] Nike ranked No. 89 in the 2018 Fortune 500 list of

the largest United States corporations by total revenue.[6]

The company was founded on January 25, 1964, as Blue Ribbon Sports, by Bill Bowerman

and Phil Knight, and officially became Nike, Inc. on May 30, 1971. The company takes

its name from Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.[7] Nike markets its products under its

own brand, as well as Nike Golf, Nike Pro, Nike+, Air Jordan, Nike Blazers, Air Force 1,

Nike Dunk, Air Max, Foamposite, Nike Skateboarding, Nike CR7,[8] and subsidiaries

including Brand Jordan, Hurley International and Converse. Nike also owned Bauer Hockey (later renamed

Nike Bauer) from 1995 to 2008, and previously owned Cole Haan and Umbro.[9] In addition to manufacturing

sportswear and equipment, the company operates retail stores under the Niketown name. Nike sponsors

many high-profile athletes and sports teams around the world, with the highly recognized trademarks of “Just

Do It” and the Swoosh logo.

Shoes for him, contradicting a claim that they were madnight. According to Davis, “I told Tom Brokaw that I

was the first. I don’t care what all the billionaires say. Bill Bowerman made the first pair of shoes for me. People

don’t believe me. In fact, I didn’t like the way they felt on my feet. There was no support and they were too

tight. But I saw Bowerman made them from the waffle iron, and they were mine”.[12]
