Residents of another London neighbourhood are angry the city is removing mature trees to make way for infrastructure upgrades.

As of Wednesday evening, nine trees on Highway Avenue in Old South had been felled and a handful of others were marked for removal.

According to the letter sent to residents on May 22, the city planned to remove at least 14 trees on Highway Avenue this spring and at least 16 trees on Lambeth Avenue in the upcoming winter. That includes a Norway Maple in front of the house that Heather Sanderson moved into, with her boyfriend, in December.

"I moved here specifically for the trees," she explained. "I have a lot of birds in my tree, a sparrow's nest in my tree, I have squirrels and everything in there. So to see it come down, would just totally open up the street and make it look awful."

The infrastructure project, slated to start July, includes replacing old sewer and water lines, road reconstruction and new curbs.

Sanderson feels like she's "voiceless" because the city cancelled a public update meeting on the infrastructure project and posted documents online instead. One of those documents, a tree assessment report, said many of the trees are coming down because of construction conflicts with things like curbs and water or sanitary services. Some of the other reasons include trees being in severe decline, being perched high on the boulevard, having root decay or being in the way of snow removal.

It's not the first time London residents have rallied around trees in their neighbourhood. A similar situation unfolded on the nearby Tecumseh Avenue in the summer of 2017, when the city removed trees to lower the street grade and replace old sewer and water lines.

Tecumseh Avenue resident Jennifer Odegaard remembers the fight well.

"We now have problems with traffic moving way too quickly because it appears like a wide open street that someone can just gun down, shade, walkability and enjoyability, these are all things we chose to live in Old South for," she said.

Odegaard said that, at the time, she was assured by city hall that it wouldn't happen.

"And I see it, happening again," she said.

Although it's too late for most of the trees on Highway Avenue, Sanderson said she'd like the city to bring back its arborist to have discussions with residents on Lambeth Avenue before moving forward with the rest of the removal work.

"Put into place a policy that says if we're going to do tree removal on your street, we will inform you when the arborist and the city will be coming back to look at your trees and determine which are sick. From this day to this day, even if you just give us a week. Inform residents that they're coming, so we can be there, we can have a conversation."

The Antietam battlefield (Getty Images).

SHARPSBURG, Md. - A long-forgotten Civil War map has recently been rediscovered, shedding new light on the bloody aftermath of the battle of Antietam.

Some 23,000 soldiers were killed, woundedor missing following the battle on Sept. 17, 1862, which has been described as the bloodiest day in American history.

The S.G. Elliott Burial Map shows where 5,800 Americans were buried in temporary graves. The map, which is in the collection of theNew York Public Library, was discovered by researchers looking for information on the battle of Gettysburg.

The S.G. Elliott Burial Map shows where 5,800 Americans were buried in temporary graves.

The map was digitized two years ago, but until its recent discovery in the librarys archives, it was unknown to experts. Earlier this year, researchers from the Adams County Historical Societyin Gettysburg, Pa., found the map when they were looking for information on mapmaker Simon G. Elliott.

After discovering the map, the researchers notified National Park Service staff at Antietam National Battlefield.

The detailed map, like a counterpart that Elliott made following the battle of Gettysburg, was likely made in autumn 1864. Although historians are still performing analysis of the map, more than 5,800 soldier burials are individually recorded, typically in groups associated with a particular regiment, also noted on the map, explains the American Battlefield Trust, in astatement. Field burials often saw soldiers interred by comrades, very close to where they fell, meaning that the map confirms the locations where units were engaged on the field.

Whereas 18 soldiers were identified by name on Elliotts Gettysburg map, more than 50 were identified on the Antietam map, according to ACHS Executive Director Andrew Dalton.

Looking at this map, there can be no doubt in the truth of the statement that a battlefield is hallowed ground, made so by the blood of soldiers, said American Battlefield Trust President Jim Lighthizerin a statement. The landscape at Antietam was turned into one vast cemetery, sacred to the memory of those who lost their lives in the struggle.

Although most of the interments have been moved off the battlefield to Antietam National Cemetery, the map is nonetheless an incredible historical document.

The Elliott map shows that dozens of men were once buried in the immediate vicinity of the national parks visitor center, said theAmerican Battlefield Trustin its statement. The 461 acres that have been protected by the American Battlefield Trust show evidence of more than 600 burials.

Antietam was a crucial battle in the Civil War, ending the Confederate Army of Northern Virginias first invasion of the North. President Abraham Lincoln also issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation in the wake of the bloody clash.

The map effectively unlocks new aspects of the battle and its aftermath.

This discovery reveals truths about the Battle of Antietam lost to time, said American Battlefield Trust Chief Historian Garry Adelmanin the statement. Its like the Rosetta Stone: by demonstrating new ways that primary sources already at our disposal relate to each other, it has the power to confirm some of our long-held beliefs or maybe turn some of our suppositions on their heads.

Civil War sites across the U.S. regularly offer fresh glimpses into the bloody conflict. Earlier this year, for example, an artillery shell from the Civil War wasdiscoveredin downtown Charleston.

ACivil War-eragravestone linked to the infamous Quantrills Raid wasdiscoveredlast year in a Kansas forest.

Also in 2019, a Civil War cannonball wasdiscoveredlodged in a walnut tree at a historic house in Independence, Mo.

Earlier in the year, archaeologists in Delawarelocatedthe gravestone of a Civil Warsoldier that may provide a vital clue in uncovering a long-lost African-American cemetery.

In 2018, the remains of two Civil War soldiers werediscoveredin a surgeons burial pit at Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia. Also in 2018, a vacationer on a North Carolina beachcaptured drone footageof a Civil War-era shipwreck.

In 2017, forensic linguists said they hadlikelyunraveledthe mystery surrounding a famous Civil War-era letter longbelieved to have been written by Lincoln.

In 2015, the remains of a Confederate warship wereraisedfrom the Savannah River in Georgia. The following year, the wreck of a large iron-hulled Civil War-era steamer wasdiscoveredoff the coast of North Carolina. The ship, which was found off Oak Island, N.C., was tentativelyidentifiedas the blockade runner Agnes E. Fry.

The last person to receive a Civil War-era pensiondiedin North Carolina last month, according to reports.

Facebook is a more fertile breeding ground for fake news than Twitter, and those on the far ends of the liberal-conservative spectrum are most likely to share it, according to new CU Boulder research.

The paper, in the journal Human Communication Research, also found that people who lack trust in conventional media, and in one another, post misinformation more often.

We found that certain types of people are disproportionally responsible for sharing the false, misleading, and hyper-partisan information on social media, said lead author Toby Hopp, an assistant professor in the Department of Advertising, Public Relations and Media Design. If we can identify those types of users, maybe we can get a better grasp of why people do this and design interventions to stem the transfer of this harmful information.

The paper comes at a time when, amid a global pandemic and contentious run-up to a presidential election, social media companies are grappling with how to curb so-called fake news.

In the past month, Twitter, Facebook and Google began labeling misleading, disputed or unverified posts about coronavirus, vowing to delete those that threaten public health. Twitter has also slapped labels on President Donald Trumps tweets, dubbing them as inaccurate or glorifying violence. Trump responded by accusing Twitter of silencing conservative speech. Meanwhile, Facebook employees staged a virtual walk-out saying their company wasnt doing enough to address suspect posts.

A decade or two ago, traditional news organizations played a key gatekeeping role in determining what was true or not true, said Hopp. Now, with the proliferation of social media and with traditional news organizations under financial distress, there is a sea change occurring in the way that information flows through society.

Previous research has shown that older adults and those who identify as Republican are more likely to share fake news. But Hopp wanted to go beyond demographic or political labels.

We wanted to look at more nuanced factors indicating how these people see the world around them, Hopp said.

To do so, his team recruited 783 regular Facebook and Twitter users over the age of 18 and, with their permission, collected and analyzed all of their posts for the period between August 1, 2015, and June 6, 2017 (before, during, and after the 2016 election). Participants also took a lengthy survey to assess their ideological conservatism vs. liberalism and identify how much they trusted friends, family and community members, and mainstream media.

We can disagree, but when we have fundamentally different views about what information is true and what is not, democracy becomes very difficult to maintain."

- Tobias Hopp

The researchers then looked at who shared content from 106 websites identified as fake news or countermedia sites by watchdog groups or legacy news organizations like NPR or U.S. News & World Report.

Despite the fact that we tend to call it fake news, a lot of this stuff is not completely false, said Hopp, who prefers the term countermedia. Rather, it is grossly biased, misleading and hyper-partisan, omitting important information.

The good news: 71% of Facebook users and 95% of Twitter users shared no countermedia posts. The bad news: 1,152 pieces of fake news were shared via Facebook, with a single user responsible for 171. On Twitter, 128 pieces of countermedia were shared.

We found that Facebook is the central conduit for the transfer of fake news, said Hopp.

In the Facebook sample, those self-identified as extremely conservative7 on a scale of 1 to 7accounted for the most fake news shared, at 26%. In the Twitter sample, 32% of fake news shares came from those who scored a 7.

But those who scored a 1, identifying as extremely liberal, also shared fake news frequently, accounting for 17.5% of shares on Facebook and 16.4% on Twitter.

In all, about one-fifth of users at the far ideological extremes were responsible for sharing nearly half of the fake news on the two platforms.

It is not just Republicans or just Democrats, but rather, people who areleft or rightmore ideologically extreme, said Hopp.

Those in the ideological middle and those with high levels of media and social trust weregenerally speakingthe least likely to share fake news.

People with high levels of social trust are more likely to compile online social networks comprised of diverse individuals, and this can hamper the spread of fake news, said Hopp, noting that when a fellow user calls out a post as inaccurate,others may be less likely to share it. If someone posts something that is incorrect, false or misleading, I dont think it hurts for individual users to provide a factual rebuttal.

The authors note that the sample is not necesarily representative of the general population of all social media users nationwide, and more research is necessary.

With several other papers in the works, the authors, including Assistant Professor of Journalism Pat Ferucci and Assistant Professor of Advertising Chris Vargo, hope to provide insight to lawmakers, companies and individual users hoping to stem the fake news tide.

We can disagree, but when we have fundamentally different views about what information is true and what is not, democracy becomes very difficult to maintain, said Hopp.

How did the continents form? Although to a certain extent this remains an open question, the oceanic plateau of the Kerguelen Islands may well provide part of the answer, according to a French-Australian team led by the Gosciences Environnement Toulouse laboratory.

From a geological point of view, it is the Earths outermost layer that distinguishes the continents from the oceans: oceanic crust, which is relatively thin, is mainly made up of basalts, resulting from the melting of the Earths underlying mantle, whereas continental crust, which is thicker and of granitic composition, is derived from magmas that evolved at depth before solidifying.

Such magmas form especially at subduction zones, where one tectonic plate dives beneath another. However, a study published in the journal Terra Novaprovides evidence in support of a second model: the formation of embryonic continents within oceanic plateaus such as the Kerguelen plateau.

Formed by extensive basalt flows, the crust of such plateaus is abnormally thick compared to normal oceanic crust. The researchers focused on a rock of the granite family (syenite) emplaced in the plateau lavas.

By studying the geometry and internal structure of the syenite intrusion and carrying out extensive dating of the rocks, they were able to reconstruct its history and show that it bears strong similarities to those of a large number of intrusions located in continental crust.

Such similarities include the discontinuous injection over time of multiple magma sheets (which progressively uplifted the surrounding rocks), the duration of its construction (around 3.7 million years), and the magma fluxes.

Could this syenite intrusion be an embryonic continent? To further refine this hypothesis, the same team is currently studying the chemical composition of the syenites in order to understand the origin and evolution of the magmas.

The second part of the exhibition which runs from June 12 to July 19 at the gallery in Jongno, central Seoul, features five artists of Koreas experimental art -- Lee Seung-taek, Kwak Duck-jun, Park Hyun-ki, Lee Kun-yong and Lee Kang-so who were active from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, expanding Koreas contemporary art to photography, sculptures, media art and installations.

The exhibition shows a total of 70 works by 16 Korean artists, including the five experimental artists and 13 artists from different countries such as Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, French conceptual artist Francois Morellet, and American sculptor Fred Sandback. All the artists have built a special relationship with Gallery Hyundai over the past 50 years, according to the gallery.

Gallery Hyundai was the first Korean commercial gallery to participate in an international art fair in 1987, introducing Korean art at Chicago International Art Exposition, one of the three major international art fairs of the era. The gallery also began introducing foreign contemporary artists to Korea in the 1980s.

The second session of the special exhibition also introduces Korean contemporary artists including Kang Ik-joong, who is best known for works that consist of numerous small paintings measuring under eight centimeters square, Kim Sung-yoon who focuses on still life paintings reinterpreting the art genre in a contemporary way, and Kim Min-jung, who exclusively uses traditional Korean hanji paper for her works that are created through a repetitive process of burning and layering them.

The first part of the special exhibition that ran in May showcased some 70 masterpieces by 40 contemporary artists, including Koreas leading abstract painters, Dansaekhwa artists and Paik Nam-june, the founder of video art.

The major dot painting Universe 05-IV-71 #200 by Kim Whan-ki, a pioneer of Koreas abstract paintings, was on also on show for the first time since it fetched record-breaking 88 million Hong Kong dollars at Christies auction.

Online reservations are required to visit the special exhibition due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Founded on April 4, 1970, Gallery Hyundai has held around 800 exhibitions of 400 artists from home and abroad, growing into a hub for Koreas contemporary painters.
