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.

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

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]
