4 1/1 BLANDFORD and Sturminster Ladies faced Southampton University Ladies 3's in the Hampshire Senior Ladies Vase and it was not a cup final to miss. Nerves from both sides culminated in a neck and neck first half; Blandford won four shorts, each saved convincingly by Southampton's keeper. Southampton earned two shorts themselves, with Zena Parry solidly saving both. However, the pendulum swung in the second half. Southampton did not have a single shot at goal.

Introduction Imagine you’re on a first date, sipping a martini at a bar. You eat an olive and patiently listen to your date tell you about his job at a bank. Your brain is processing this scene, in part, by breaking it down into concepts. Bar. Date. Martini. Olive. Bank. Deep in your brain, neurons known as concept cells are firing. You might have concept cells that fire for martinis but not for olives. Or ones that fire for bars — perhaps even that specific bar, if you’ve been there before.

Introduction Prochlorococcus bacteria are so small that you’d have to line up around a thousand of them to match the thickness of a human thumbnail. The ocean seethes with them: The microbes are likely the most abundant photosynthetic organism on the planet, and they create a significant portion — 10% to 20% — of the atmosphere’s oxygen. That means that life on Earth depends on the roughly 3 octillion (or 3 × 1027) tiny individual cells toiling away.

By the time the Schmidt Ocean Institute’s research vessel Falkor (too) finished an expedition off the coast of Chile earlier this year, its scientists had amassed a slew of amazing deep-sea discoveries. During the cruise, researchers sent an underwater robot capable of descending more than 14,000 feet below the surface to collect video footage and specimens from seamounts. After analyzing what they had gathered, the international team revealed they had likely found more than 100 new species.
