Yesterday’s work outfit I forgot to post because it was such a busy hectic day. Thrifted plaid & rhinestone tunic over $3 black leggings, Fluff-Buddies kitty sox, OP black glitter sneaks. #ootd #fafafafafashionbeepbeep #everydayfashion #cheapasschic #thriftscore #monochromatic #plaidisaneutral #rhinestone #leggings #oceanpacific #glitter #sneakers #fluffbuddies #kittysocks #allmyclothesfromthekidssection #punkrockgirl #casualpunk #casualgoth #over45style #mystyle

Today’s work outfit: grey leopard tee, bone jeans (from my Sei cosplay), Cat & Jack black cat hoodie & thrifted Docs. I am also delighted that I was able to craft matching pants for my avatar in Animal Crossing Pocket Camp for Halloween. #ootd #fafafafafashionbeepbeep #everydayfashion #cheapasschic #thriftscore #monochromatic #allmyclothesfromthekidssection #leopardprintisaneutral #catandjack #blackcat #hoodie #bonejeans #sei #dramaticalmurder #animalcrossingpocketcamp #onpoint #iwearblackontheoutsidebecauseblackishowifeelontheinside #repurposedcosplay #punkrockgirl #over45style #mystyle #acpc #phonegames #everydayishalloween

Figure of a Jackal
This solid cast bronze statuette could represent either of the gods Anubis or Wepwawet, both of whom could be depicted as a jackal-headed man. It is in a walking pose with really good detailing on the face and kilt. The left arm is missing from just above the elbow.
Late Period, 26th Dynasty, ca. 664-525 BC. Now in the World Museum, National Museums Liverpool. 56.5.88
Scientists have created a mutant enzyme that breaks down plastic drinks bottles – by accident. The breakthrough could help solve the global plastic pollution crisis by enabling for the first time the full recycling of bottles.
The new research was spurred by the discovery in 2016 of the first bacterium that had naturally evolved to eat plastic, at a waste dump in Japan. Scientists have now revealed the detailed structure of the crucial enzyme produced by the bug.
The international team then tweaked the enzyme to see how it had evolved, but tests showed they had inadvertently made the molecule even better at breaking down the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic used for soft drink bottles. “What actually turned out was we improved the enzyme, which was a bit of a shock,” said Prof John McGeehan, at the University of Portsmouth, UK, who led the research. “It’s great and a real finding.”
The mutant enzyme takes a few days to start breaking down the plastic – far faster than the centuries it takes in the oceans. But the researchers are optimistic this can be speeded up even further and become a viable large-scale process.
