Researchers have discovered a new species of glassfrog in Ecuador—the Dajomes glassfrog—named after Neisi Dajomes, the first Ecuadorian woman to receive an Olympic gold medal, which she won in Tokyo 2020 in women's 76 kg weightlifting. Mylena Masache, a Biology student of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador, and colleagues describe the frog in a new study published April 8, 2026 in the journal PLOS One.

Glassfrogs are a group of about 167 species of frogs that live in trees in tropical forests in Central and South America. While most glassfrogs are green on top, they get their name from the transparent skin that covers the underside of some species in the group. This see-through skin sometimes reveals their heart and other organs in great detail.

Researchers encountered the Dajomes glassfrog in 2017 and 2018 during biological surveys conducted in El Quimi Nature Reserve, which is located in a mountainous region in southern Ecuador. The new species has uniformly green skin with a pebbly texture across the top of its body. On its underside, it has a white membrane covered in specialized light-reflecting cells that covers its heart, esophagus, stomach and kidneys, but other internal membranes are clear. Based on comparisons of its DNA to related species, Masache's team estimated the new species likely originated during the Pliocene Epoch, about 4.5 million years ago.

Currently it is unknown whether the frog is threatened or endangered. The first Dajomes glassfrog was found just a few miles from an agricultural region and a large-scale mining operation. Mining in the area has caused a decline in local amphibian populations and may threaten this species in the future.

During the two expeditions to El Quimi Nature Reserve that yielded the Dajomes glassfrog, more than 85% of the amphibian species observed were previously unknown. The researchers suggest this region could be a "lost world of amphibian diversity," and call for continuing biodiversity surveys and species identification efforts in southeastern Ecuador and across the border in northeastern Peru.

The authors add, "We were astonished by the high number of new species found at the site. Few places in the tropical Andes harbor amphibian assemblages as novel as the one found at El Quimi."

Author Dr. Diego Cisneros adds, "It is especially meaningful that this discovery is led by a young woman scientist and honors an Ecuadorian Olympic champion—this species becomes a symbol of how science and society can recognize and celebrate women shaping the future."

The EU's age verification app can be hacked in 2 minutes. (Found by Paul Moore)

In short :
- The pin you set to lock the app is encrypted, not hashed, which means with the private key of the app it could be reversed (there's no need to get that as you'll see in the next points
- Once you verify your age, the pictures and data identifying you is not deleted. Although on regular phones you and other apps can't access it as they are protected at the Android level, this is still a breach of GDPR
- The app's data is stored in a shared preferences file, which is pretty much just plain text. If you delete the key for your PIN, the app will let you create a new one, and still access the data of the old account.
- Nevertheless, the EU still brands it as a privacy friendly option on their site at https://t.ly/labwF

In short, don't verify your age online! This is really bad for privacy!

Good thing about Linux is, (most) update will improve your system speed. I still don't understand why my laptop run faster after a recent update.

On the another hand, sometime a major update broke some config that gnome refused to operate, especially if you are using Nvidia proprietary driver, because it sucks.

La Commissione #Ue corregge il file del #Cyber Resilience Act passando dall’XLSX all’ODS, mentre sul fronte digitale l’#Europa prova a rafforzare la propria autonomia con 180 milioni per un #cloud sovrano e, allo stesso tempo, resta divisa tra #sicurezza e #diritti con il caso #ChatControl; sullo sfondo, il nodo di #SPID e #CIE per gli anziani mostra quanto la trasformazione #digitale sia ancora lontana dall’essere davvero inclusiva.

Es gibt verschieden Varianten der türkischen Börek-Zigarren, bei denen die Kräuterauswahl variirt. Gestern habe ich im Wald Löwenzahn und Bärlauch gesammelt (oberes Bild) und diese Wildkräuter kamen zum Einsatz. Traditionell werden die Zigarren mit Filoteig zubereitet. Ich finde es einfacher, mit selbst gemachtem Strudelteig zu arbeiten. Das Ergebnis ähnelt dann geschmacklich eher den chinesischen Pfannkuchen. Ich finde beide Varianten lecker.

Zutaten

• 300 g Bärlauch

• 100 g Löwenzahn

• 400 g Hirtenkäse

• 0,5 TL Minze

• 0,5 TL Pul biber (scharfe rote Paprikaflocken)

• 0,5 TL Salz

• 0.5 TL Pfeffer

• 1 Ei

• 20 g (2 EL) Olivenöl

• 350 g Mehl

• Oliventristeröl zum Braten

Zubereitung

Kräuter waschen, tropfnass in einen Topf geben und so lange dünsten, bis sie zusammenfallen. Abkühlen lassen, die Flüssigkeit auspressen und fein hacken. Den Hirtenkäse zerbröseln und in einer großen Schüssel mit den übrigen Zutaten (bis auf das Mehl) vermischen. Das Mehl knete ich mit der Küchenmaschine und so viel Wasser (ca. 150 ml), dass ein zusammenhängender Teig entsteht. Dann stelle ich mit der Nudelmaschine 15 x 15 cm große und 0,5 mm dünne (kleinste Stufe) Teigplatten her. Dann auf der Platte 1 bis 2 EL Füllung am unteren Ende verteilen und nach oben aufrollen (mittleres Bild). Die Seitenenden zusammendrücken, sodass die Füllung beim Braten nicht ausläuft. Die Zigarren im Öl von allen Seiten anbraten.

What goods exactly? Doesn't matter, just chuck it on there.

If the villages downstream don't like it, they can always bring goods back up. But guess what's going on the next barge?

Avarage twitter experience.. shes hot tho.

Professional detectives Amanda and her assistant take up the case! The collector, Gino Grasso, will show you where the daring crime was committed, and you will go to Amsterdam to catch the robber.

The investigation will bring you to various dangerous places. The ruins of the castle and many hidden artifacts are waiting for you. The chemical laboratory will help uncover the secret of the heist and track down the robber. But when Amanda gets to that point, events will take a dramatic turn!

This year’s British Wildlife Photography Awards celebrates the wonder of the natural world. Whether it’s a patchwork leaf-cutter bee hard at work or the springtime spectacle of boxing hares, here’s our pick of the best shots

Feel like the castle could look better with a little less color. Maybe I'll give it another go one day.

Another pattern from White Raven I bought on Etsy.

This is a long exposure shot made by combining the 275 individual 360° photos taken to make this timelapse video. It's only 90 minutes worth of shots, but the star trails are quite visible - and so is the gorgeous northern light show we got last night.

The star trails don't look quite straight, despite the camera being absolutely still the whole time. Unfortunately, the stitching process tends to shift the images ever so slightly at random, so the photos aren't perfectly aligned in pitch and yaw from one to the next. Shame...
