This may be the truth but why is it ugly? I think the industry is what it ought to be. Imagine 100 pages of a beauty and fashion magazine only showcase average-looking women like those random girls you see every day on your way to the office, would you be more interested in that *beauty and fashion* magazine? Some critic but they may forget humans have fantasy and are inspired by ideal selves. Every now and then we enjoy unrealistic things. The publishers just offer the mainstream what the mainstream want. Consumers have freedom of choice.
Some blame the industry for manipulating standards of beauty for women. This may be but "standards" change over time and lots of factors rather than just beauty and fashion industry contribute to forming such standards. Do you think with his proposed "ideal proportions" of human body (easily seen in the statue of Venus de Milo) Leonardo was also manipulating the standards of beauty for women?

“Gamma-ray bursts and their emission mechanisms”
Abstract:
“Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic explosions in the Universe after the Big Bang. They are observed as sudden flashes of gamma rays from random directions in the sky, lasting from seconds to minutes. GRBs are thought to result from cataclysmic events associated with the birth of a compact object (neutron star or a black hole) either in the collapsing core of a massive star or in a NS-NS or NS-BH merger. Despite being discovered almost half a century ago, the mechanism of their emission is still a matter of active debate. I will review our current understanding of the processes at work and will discuss how detailed numerical modelling can place constraints on the physical conditions at the source as well as the GRB environments.”

The mathematical formula of Happiness (University College London, 2014)
Body artist paints a circle of life on her face, by Emma Allen. This is pretty much one of the core beliefs in Buddhism.
One fundamental belief of Buddhism is often referred to as reincarnation - the concept that people are reborn after dying. In fact, most individuals go through many cycles of birth, living, death and rebirth. A practicing Buddhist differentiates between the concepts of rebirth and reincarnation. In reincarnation, the individual may recur repeatedly. In rebirth, a person does not necessarily return to Earth as the same entity ever again. He compares it to a leaf growing on a tree. When the withering leaf falls off, a new leaf will eventually replace it. It is similar to the old leaf, but it is not identical to the original leaf.
After many such cycles, if a person releases their attachment to desire and the self, they can attain Nirvana. This is a state of liberation and freedom from suffering.

Equinoxes: the products of celestial geometry.
“Because Earth is tilted on its axis, there are only two days a year when the sun shines down exactly over the equator, and the day/night line – called the terminator – runs straight from north to south. On these days, day and night are just about equal lengths across the globe.
In the Northern Hemisphere, the March equinox marks the beginning of spring – meaning that our half of Earth is slowly tilting towards the sun, giving us longer days and more sunlight, and moving us out of winter and into spring and summer.” - NASA
