If carbon emissions are curbed and local stressors are addressed, coral reefs have the potential to persist and adapt over time. That's according to a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Hawaiʻi Institute of Marine Biology (HIMB).

Carbon sinks are important in the fight against climate change as they draw down atmospheric carbon dioxide levels by storing organic carbon in the oceans and soil, for example. Within tropical and subtropical intertidal locations, wetland plant communities, known as mangrove forests, are key carbon sinks of organic matter.

Archaeologists currently investigating an Iron Age burial ground in Pryssgården, Sweden, have found a woman’s grave containing a small needle and a curved knife inserted vertically into the earth! The cemetery, dating from around 500 BC to 400 AD, contains at least 50 burials and may be the same site famously described in 1667 by Ericus Hemengius, a priest tasked with recording ancient remains in his parish. The woman’s grave remains the most unusual find of the lot. Over 80 Strange Bronze Age Holes Discovered in Sweden. Why Did People Gather there 3000 Years Ago? Norwegian Archaeologists Have Found the Shrine of a Miracle-Making Viking King A Large Cemetery The cemetery was uncovered in Pryssgården, a southern Swedish area about 105 miles (169 kilometers) southwest of Stockholm. Archaeologists initially learned of the site through the 17th-century text by Hemengius, who was commissioned to document ancient cemeteries in his parish. Hemengius describes the piles and mounds he saw, visible from his window, writing: "Below the priest's property, west of Prästegården, there are some ancestral burial mounds, seemingly large, on which, for the most part, fires are seen burning every autumn night." Until now, archaeologists were uncertain if these graves had survived or were even in the area of their current excavation, according to a press release by Arkeologerna.

Try serving with French Fries, chips, onion rings, with your favorite steamed veggies, or a big side salad. How do I prevent the toast from getting soggy? I suggest baking the toast slightly longer than the box instructions say, so they get a little extra crispy. That way, when you add the au jus gravy, it’s a little more substantial to hold up the extra liquid. Can I use something else other than Texas Toast? Absolutely, if you don’t have Texas Toast, any Garlic Bread will do. You can even make Homemade Garlic Bread and use slices of that. What’s the best way to store leftovers? Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, freeze for up to 3 months. What’s the best way to reheat Texas Toast French Dips?
