Climate Fiction and Cultural Analysis
Author : Gregers Andersen
Download or read book Climate Fiction and Cultural Analysis written by Gregers Andersen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate Fiction and Cultural Analysis argues that the popularity of the term "climate fiction" has paradoxically exhausted the term's descriptive power and that it has developed into a black box containing all kinds of fictions which depict climatic events and has consequently lost its true significance. Aware of the prospect of ecological collapse as well as our apparent inability to avert it, we face geophysical changes of drastic proportions that severely challenge our ability to imagine the consequences. This book argues that this crisis of imagination can be partly relieved by climate fiction, which may help us comprehend the potential impact of the crisis we are facing. Strictly assigning "climate fiction" to fictions that incorporate the climatological paradigm of anthropogenic global warming into their plots, this book sets out to salvage the term's speculative quality. It argues that climate fiction should be regarded as no less than a vital supplement to climate science, because climate fiction makes visible and conceivable future modes of existence within worlds not only deemed likely by science, but which are scientifically anticipated. Focusing primarily on English and German language fictions, Climate Fiction and Cultural Analysis shows how Western climate fiction sketches various affective and cognitive relations to the world in its utilization of a small number of recurring imaginaries, or imagination forms. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecocriticism, the environmental humanities, and literary and culture studies more generally.

The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Climate
Author : Adeline Johns-Putra
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Literature and Climate written by Adeline Johns-Putra and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-31 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigating the relationship between literature and climate, this Companion offers a genealogy of climate representations in literature while showing how literature can help us make sense of climate change. It argues that any discussion of literature and climate cannot help but be shaped by our current - and inescapable - vantage point from an era of climate change, and uncovers a longer literary history of climate that might inform our contemporary climate crisis. Essays explore the conceptualisation of climate in a range of literary and creative modes; they represent a diversity of cultural and historical perspectives, and a wide spectrum of voices and views across the categories of race, gender, and class. Key issues in climate criticism and literary studies are introduced and explained, while new and emerging concepts are discussed and debated in a final section that puts expert analyses in conversation with each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Outlining an integrative theory of knowledge, Francisco Javier Carrillo explores how to understand the underlying behavioural basis of the knowledge economy and society. Chapters highlight the notion that unless a knowledge-based value creation and distribution paradigm is globally adopted, the possibilities for integration between a sustainable biosphere and a viable economy are small.
The Anthropocenic Turn
Author : GABRIELE DÜRBECK
Download or read book The Anthropocenic Turn written by GABRIELE DÜRBECK and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary volume discusses whether the increasing salience of the Anthropocene concept in the humanities and the social sciences constitutes an "Anthropocenic turn." The Anthropocene discourse creates novel conceptual configurations and enables scholars to re-negotiate and re-contextualize long-established paradigms, premises, theories and methodologies. These innovative constellations stimulate fresh research in many areas of thought and practice. The contributors to this volume respond to the proposition of an "Anthropocene turn" from the perspective of diverse research fields, including history of science, philosophy, environmental humanities and political science as well as literary, art and media studies. Altogether, the collection reveals to which extent the Anthropocene concept challenges deep-seated assumptions across disciplines. It invites readers to explore the wealth of scholarly perspectives on the Anthropocene as well as unexpected inter- and transdisciplinary connections.

Download or read book Literary Animal Studies and the Climate Crisis written by Sune Borkfelt and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary Animal Studies and the Climate Crisis connects insights from the field of literary animal studies with the urgent issues of climate change and environmental degradation, and features considerations of new interventions by literature in relation to these pressing questions and debates. This volume informs academic debates in terms of how nonhuman animals figure in our cultural imagination of topics such as climate change, extinction, animal otherness, the posthuman, and environmental crises. Using a diverse set of methodologies, each chapter presents relevant cases which discuss the various aspects of these interstices. This volume is an intersection between literary animal studies and climate fiction intended as an interdisciplinary intervention that speaks to the global climate debate and is thus relevant across the environmental humanities.

Apocalyptic Visions in the Anthropocene and the Rise of Climate Fiction
Author : Kübra Baysal
Publisher : Cambridge Scholars Publishing
Download or read book Apocalyptic Visions in the Anthropocene and the Rise of Climate Fiction written by Kübra Baysal and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the increasing interest of pop culture and academia towards environmental issues, which has simultaneously given rise to fiction and artworks dealing with interdisciplinary issues, climate change is an undeniable reality of our time. In accordance with the severe environmental degradation and health crises today, including the COVID-19 pandemic, human beings are awakening to this reality through climate fiction (cli-fi), which depicts ways to deal with the anthropogenic transformations on Earth through apocalyptic worlds as displayed in works of literature, media and art. Appealing to a wide range of readers, from NGOs to students, this book fills a gap in the fields of literature, media and art, and sheds light on the inevitable interconnection of humankind with the nonhuman environment through effective descriptions of associable conditions in the works of climate fiction.
Haunted Nature
Author : Sladja Blazan
Download or read book Haunted Nature written by Sladja Blazan and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a study of human entanglements with Nature as seen through the mode of haunting. As an interruption of the present by the past, haunting can express contemporary anxieties concerning our involvement in the transformation of natural environments and their ecosystems, and our complicity in their collapse. It can also express a much-needed sense of continuity and relationality. The complexity of the question—who and what gets to be called human with respect to the nonhuman—is reflected in these collected chapters, which, in their analysis of cinematic and literary representations of sentient Nature within the traditional gothic trope of haunting, bring together history, race, postcolonialism, and feminism with ecocriticism and media studies. Given the growing demand for narratives expressing our troubled relationship with Nature, it is imperative to analyze this contested ground.

Sustainable Development of Denmark in the World 1970 2020
Author : Bo Fritzbøger
Download or read book Sustainable Development of Denmark in the World 1970 2020 written by Bo Fritzbøger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-24 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a holistic overview of the history of sustainable development in Denmark over the last fifty years, covering a host of issues central to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): ending poverty; ensuring inclusive and equitable education; reducing inequality; making cities and settlements inclusive, safe and resilient; and fostering responsible production and consumption patterns, to name a few. It argues for a new framework of sustainability history, one that is truly global in outlook. As such, it explores what truly global sustainable development would look like. It considers how economic growth has been the driver for prosperity in the global north, and considers whether sustainable development and continued economic growth are irreconcilable, and what the future of sustainable development initiatives in Denmark might look like.
Climate Change Fictions
Author : Antonia Mehnert
Download or read book Climate Change Fictions written by Antonia Mehnert and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-04 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights the importance of the cultural sphere, and in particular literature, in response and discussion with the unprecedented phenomenon known as climate change. Antonia Mehnert turns to a set of contemporary American works of fiction, reading them as a unique response to the challenges of representing climate change. She draws on "climate change fiction"— texts dealing explicitly with anthropogenic climate change—and explores how these works convey climate change, deal with its challenging characteristics, and with what narrative techniques they ultimately participate in its communication. Indeed, a number of challenging traits make climate change a difficult issue to engage with including its slow and long temporal dimension, global scale, scientific controversy, and its disconnect between cause and effect. Considering such complexity and uncertainty at the source of climate change fictions, this book moves beyond a solely ecocritical analysis and shows how these climate change fictions constitute an insightful cultural repertoire valuable for discussion in the environmental humanities in general.
Ecocollapse Fiction and Cultures of Human Extinction
Author : Sarah E. McFarland
Download or read book Ecocollapse Fiction and Cultures of Human Extinction written by Sarah E. McFarland and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-28 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work analyzes 21st-century realistic speculations of human extinction: fictions that imagine future worlds without interventions of as-yet uninvented technology, interplanetary travel, or other science fiction elements that provide hope for rescue or long-term survival. Climate change fiction as a genre of apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic writing usually resists facing the potentiality of human species extinction, following instead traditional generic conventions that imagine primitivist communities of human survivors with the means of escaping the consequences of global climate change. Yet amidst the ongoing sixth great extinction, works that problematize survival, provide no opportunities for social rebirth, and speculate humanity's final end may address the problem of how to reject the impulse of human exceptionalism that pervades climate change discourse and post-apocalyptic fiction. Rather than following the preferences of the genre, the ecocollapse fictions examined here manifest apocalypse where the means for a happy ending no longer exists. In these texts, diminished ecosystems, specters of cannibalism, and disintegrations of difference and othering render human self-identity as radically malleable within their confrontations with the stark materiality of all life. This book is the first in-depth exploration of contemporary fictions that imagine the imbrication of human and nonhuman within global species extinctions. It closely interrogates novels from authors like Peter Heller, Cormac McCarthy and Yann Martel that reject the impulse of human exceptionalism to demonstrate what it might be like to go extinct.

Ecocriticism in Taiwan
Author : Chia-ju Chang
Publisher : Lexington Books
Download or read book Ecocriticism in Taiwan written by Chia-ju Chang and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecocriticism is a mode of interdisciplinary critical inquiry into the relationship between cultural production, society, and the environment. The field advocates for the more-than-human realm as well as for underprivileged human and non-human groups and their perspectives. Taiwan is one of the earliest centers for promoting ecocriticism outside the West and has continued to play a central role in shaping ecocriticism in East Asia. This is the first English anthology dedicated to the vibrant development of ecocriticism in Taiwan. It provides a window to Taiwan's important contributions to international ecocriticism, especially an emerging "vernacular" trend in the field emphasizing the significance of local perspectives and styles, including non-western vocabularies, aesthetics, cosmologies, and political ideologies. Taiwan's unique history, geographic location, geology, and subtropical climate generate locale-specific, vernacular thinking about island ecology and environmental history, as well as global environmental issues such as climate change, dioxin pollution, species extinction, energy decisions, pollution, and environmental injustice. In hindsight, Taiwan's industrial modernization no longer appears as a success narrative among Asia's "Four Little Dragons," but as a cautionary tale revealing the brute force entrepreneurial exploitation of the land and the people. In this light, this volume can be seen as a critical response to Taiwan's postcolonial, capitalist-industrial modernity, as manifested in the scholars' readings of Taiwan's "mountain and river," ocean, animal, and aboriginal (non)fictional narratives, environmental documentaries, and art installations. This volume is endowed with a mixture of ecocosmopolitan and indigenous sensitivities. Though dominated by the Han Chinese ethnic group and its Confucian ideology, Taiwan is a place of complicated ethnic identities and affiliations. The succession of changing colonial and political regimes, made even more complex by the island's sixteen aboriginal groups and several diasporic subcultures (South Asian immigrants, Western expatriates, and diverse immigrants from the Chinese mainland), has led to an ongoing quest for political and cultural identity. This complexity urges Taiwan-based ecoscholars to pay attention to the diasporic, comparative, and intercultural dimensions of local specificity, either based on their own diasporic experience or the cosmopolitan features of the Taiwanese texts they scrutinize. This cosmopolitan-vernacular dynamic is a key contribution Taiwan has to offer current ecocritical scholarship.
Anthropocene Fictions
Author : Adam Trexler
Publisher : University of Virginia Press
Download or read book Anthropocene Fictions written by Adam Trexler and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Industrial Revolution, humans have transformed the Earth's atmosphere, committing our planet to more extreme weather, rising sea levels, melting polar ice caps, and mass extinction. This period of observable human impact on the Earth's ecosystems has been called the Anthropocene Age. The anthropogenic climate change that has impacted the Earth has also affected our literature, but criticism of the contemporary novel has not adequately recognized the literary response to this level of environmental crisis. Ecocriticism's theories of place and planet, meanwhile, are troubled by a climate that is neither natural nor under human control. Anthropocene Fictions is the first systematic examination of the hundreds of novels that have been written about anthropogenic climate change. Drawing on climatology, the sociology and philosophy of science, geography, and environmental economics, Adam Trexler argues that the novel has become an essential tool to construct meaning in an age of climate change. The novel expands the reach of climate science beyond the laboratory or model, turning abstract predictions into subjectively tangible experiences of place, identity, and culture. Political and economic organizations are also being transformed by their struggle for sustainability. In turn, the novel has been forced to adapt to new boundaries between truth and fabrication, nature and economies, and individual choice and larger systems of natural phenomena. Anthropocene Fictions argues that new modes of inhabiting climate are of the utmost critical and political importance, when unprecedented scientific consensus has failed to lead to action.

Q: Can you connect an HTML5 web socket to a Java Socket? I had set up a system that had a Java program running on a server and a Java applet embedded in a page on a client's browser and the two communicating via Java sockets. I'm wondering if I can switch over from a Java applet to just HTML5 and javascript, using a WebSocket on the client side for communication with the Java socket on the server.
Is there a simple way to make a WebSocket communicate with a Java Socket?

A: Nope, you cannot communicate using regular sockets with client WebSockets.
WebSockets are special HTTP requests, with an upgrade in the HTTP Header, and a standard protocol to establish a connection (see the official RFC doc).

A:
Is there a simple way to make a WebSocket communicate with a Java Socket?

From what I understand, WebSocket works by the client side opening a port 80 connect to the server side, and sending a variant HTTP 1.1 request to the server to negotiate a WebSocket connection.  If the server recognizes this, it will send a suitable response, and then allow the still open TCP connection to be used for full-duplex client-server interactions.
It looks like it would be possible to quickly put together a server-side that just understood WebSocket negotation and not full HTTP.  However, I think you are better off looking at existing WebSocket implementations, including those embedded in HTTP servers / protocol stacks.
This Wikipedia page compares a number of WebSocket implementations, and should help you in deciding which server-side implementation to use.
But to directly answer your literal question, a WebSocket client can only connect to a WebSocket-aware server; i.e. that one that can perform the initial negotiation.  (On the client side, you could implement starting from a bare Socket, but you would need to implement all of the "HTTP stuff" on top of that ... for the setup phase.)

Pareto-Improving Optimal Capital and Labor Taxes
Katharina Greulich
Sarolta Laczó
Albert Marcet
Sarolta Laczo
We study optimal Pareto-improving fiscal policy in a model where agents are heterogeneous in their labor productivity and wealth and markets are complete. We first argue that recent results that find positive long-run capital taxes in the Ramsey equilibrium in standard models obtain for special parameter values. If the government is prevented from immiserating future generations the Chamley-Judd result reemerges. In addition, we question the traditional focus on long-run taxes. We show that a gradual reform is crucial: labor taxes should be cut and capital taxes should remain high for a very long time in order to achieve a Pareto improvement. Therefore, the long-run optimal tax mix is the opposite of the short- and medium-run one. The length of the transition determines who benefits more from the tax reform. The initial labor tax cut causes early deficits which lead to a positive level of government debt in the long run. Further, we show that a Benthamite policy (equal weights for all agents) is often not Pareto improving, and that, given significant heterogeneity, the optimal fiscal policy is time-consistent if a Pareto improvement is required at the time of reoptimization. We address a number of technical issues: sufficiency of first-order conditions for the Ramsey optimum, asymptotic behavior, and solution algorithms.

1981 cold case
Jury convicts man in 1981 cold case murder
An Arapahoe County jury has found David Dwayne Anderson, 62, guilty of murdering Sylvia Quayle more than four decades ago.
"For more than 40 years the Defendant carried with him a dark secret, a secret that was finally revealed during this trial," said Deputy District Attorney Grant Grosgebauer, one of the prosecutors on the case.
On August 4, 1981, Quayle, 34, was found dead inside her Cherry Hills home in the 3800 block of S. Ogden Street. The Coroner's report revealed Quayle had been stabbed multiple times and was shot in the head. The investigation also revealed she had been sexually assaulted.
In 2000, the Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) submitted a DNA sample to the FBI's Combined DNA Index System, also known as CODIS. The DNA sample remained unidentified for two decades until advances in DNA linked Anderson to the crime.
In 2020, the Cherry Hills Village Police Department began working with a genetic genealogy company named United Data Connect. The company provided the police department with a possible lead after samples from the decades-old cold case were entered into two public DNA databases.
In 2021, an investigator with United Data Connect went to Anderson's residence to discretely obtain a new DNA sample. That investigator collected trash bags from an apartment complex dumpster where Anderson resided. Lab results found DNA on a soda can from Anderson's trash bag matched DNA collected from the crime scene.
Anderson was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and initially went to trial in March 2022. After five days, jurors were unable to reach a verdict and a judge declared a mistrial.
The 18th Judicial District Attorney's office took the case to trial again this month and on June 30, a jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts of murder.
"We're very grateful for the numerous investigators, analysts, and forensic scientists who, through the decades, refused to let the passage of time deter them in their quest for justice," Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Gallo said. "We certainly hope that this small measure of justice brings some degree of peace to Sylvia Quayle's family, who has waited more than 40 years for this result."
Anderson is scheduled to be sentenced on Aug. 4. Based on the sentencing laws in effect at the time of the crime, he faces life behind bars with the possibility of parole after 20 years.
"When we first started our Cold Case Unit in 2013, this is a case most people said would never be solved. But time and science march on, leading us to justice today," District Attorney John Kellner said. "This verdict should give hope to all those who are still waiting for justice and for any killer who thinks they got away, know that we are still coming for you."

Ranjan has led the life, cricketing wise, that I have dreamt of. Been to every WC final (ODI and T20) where SL has played (W2, L4). Been on the historic flight back with the boys of 1996 from Lahore to Colombo. Supported the men in deep blue when the going has been tough, which is pretty much always nowadays, and in general invested a large portion of his adult life in SL cricket, primarily as a fan and also an administrator at local levels.
I was looking primarily for titbits and anecdotes of what being a SL fan prior to 1996 was, and how exactly did this inconspicuous small island nation became a cricketing force to be reckoned with (along with a couple of world cup titles). Also, what ails SL cricket. Have read about the politics as much as I could but never had the insights that I looked for.
Ranjan delivered on all of the above. The things that work in favour of the book are Ranjan's passion, first-hand knowledge of the behind the scenes workings of SLC, the cricketers and administrators and especially his detailed description of the many cricket tours he's undertaken – the venues, cities, people, and the cricket of course.
It's Ranjan's first book and he deserves kudos for what he has produced. A walk down memory lane for anyone who is remotely a SL cricket fan and maybe for most cricket fans in general.
The highlight for me were (1) The entire episode around 1996, the terrorist strikes in SL prior to the tournament, Aus and WI refusing to play, how the SL fans cheered the Ind-Pak team, the fairy-tale of the tournament and of course the entire vivid description of what being a SL fan in Lahore that night was like (It was amazing from what he says!) and (2) the murky details of SLC admin politics. How this dream run of 1996 led to egos, hubris, and an overall gold rush of non-cricket focused characters to get in on the gravy train and milk it dry.
The violence in many SLC elections, the wheeling dealing, the shady characters and their malpractices make for a riveting and very frustrating read. As a non-Lankan SL fan I had not been privy to most of this and was fascinating how much opportunity was squandered and equally surprising how the little nation of top class cricketers managed to achieve in spite of these admins.
It's Ranjan's first book and he deserves kudos for what he has produced. A walk down memory lane for anyone who is remotely a SL cricket fan and maybe for most cricket fans in general. However, for the review to be honest I will need to call out the pieces I felt can be improved upon.
(1) The length – the 381 pages could easily have been shaved by third. In the second half Ranjan spends too much time recapping the details of the games, especially SL WC finals, that most people reading this book already remember quite well. Not suggesting he cut it entirely, but the reason we will pick up this book is not for ball-by-ball reminders of those special moments, but more about his insights and observations from the vantage points. Maybe some gossip too!
(2) The focus – As a first time author writing about his personal experience about something dear to him and the readers it is normal to make it somewhat autobiographical, and Ranjan could have avoided this to some extent. I think after reading 100-150 pages of his personal experiences with these SL games and stars the readers would have started to connect a lot more with him and wanted to know more about him personally. However, there's a fair amount about himself in the first 100 pages, at which point the readers don't know this person and may not be as keen.
The last one is more minor, the constant use of italics and 'quotes', as well as the overuse of clichés was a bit jarring throughout the book. The descriptions and narratives were of a distinctly superior quality than the dialogues too. I am sure in his next publication (and I sure hope he writes more) he will take care of this.
On the whole, an entirely enjoyable experience. And thanks for refreshing some of the best memories of all time.

Sepura to deliver first TETRA public transport solution in Canada
Sepura is delighted to announce it has been selected by Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to supply the infrastructure for a TETRA digital communications system covering Toronto's subway lines and 8 above ground sites.
Sepura is delighted to announce it has been selected by Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) to supply the infrastructure for a TETRA digital communications system covering Toronto's subway lines and eight above-ground sites. The system will provide coverage for TTC's operational area in greater Toronto, and will be the first TETRA network deployed by a transport organization in Canada - enabling TTC to enjoy the benefits TETRA has already brought to the transportation sector around the world. The initial contract also provides for a limited number of terminals for use during the roll-out of the infrastructure, prior to a tender for the main fleet of terminals expected later in the year.
The new system will replace TTC's analogue radio infrastructure and will maximize network availability and reliability thanks to the redundancy elements of its design. In order to enable a seamless migration from TTC's legacy analogue infrastructure, Sepura's solution will also be able to provide temporary interconnection and interoperation with the existing communication systems thanks to Sepura Systems' FR400 TETRA base station which has over 15 million hours of proven operation in the field.
Steve Cragg, President for Sepura North America said: "Toronto Transit Commission will soon be able to enjoy all the technical and commercial benefits deriving from the adoption of the TETRA open standard. In addition, Sepura's knowledge and proven track record in the transport sector make us the ideal supplier and partner for this vertical market."
Gordon Watling, CEO for Sepura commented: "These are very exciting times for Sepura - now a full TETRA solution provider - and this contract award in a new and important geographic market for us demonstrates the strength of our offering in North America. We have now secured important reference projects in Canada covering our key commercial verticals of utilities, mining and transport, confirming TETRA has a vital role to play in the analogue to digital migration across North America."
Toronto Transit Commission is the third largest public transport system in North America after New York and Mexico City. It's a multi-modal public transit agency which makes extensive use of radio communications for transit operations, maintenance and incident management. On a daily basis over 1.6 million passengers are transported over its networks in the greater Toronto area.
Austrian motorway operator, ASFINAG, goes the extra mile with Sepura
Sepura and National Wireless join forces on Australia and NZ infrastructure

Twitter Shows Interest in Buying TikTok US Operations
Michael Behr
10 August 2020, 12.48pm
Twitter's smaller size means it has less funds to bring to the table, but makes antitrust scrutiny less of an issue.
Twitter has expressed interest in buying social media app TikTok's US operations from its Chinese parent ByteDance, reports say.
Microsoft has been at the centre of a possible deal to buy TikTok's US business, along with its operations in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.
TikTok has been generating controversy over security concerns – accusations of misuse of user data, censorship and of influence from the Chinese Communist Party.
US Lawsuit Claims TikTok is Transferring 'Vast Quantities' of Data to China
Federal Trade Commission Fines TikTok For Failing to Protect Underage Users
On August 6, US President Donald Trump gave companies 45 days to stop doing business with the company or finalise a deal to buy its US operations. TikTok has said it aims to challenge the order.
The Wall Street Journal has cast doubts on Twitter's ability to afford the deal or complete it ahead of the 15 September deadline. ByteDance has been valued as the world's largest startup, worth an estimated $78 billion. Its US operations are valued in the tens of billions of dollars.
With a market capitalisation of $29 billion (£22bn), Twitter is far smaller than Microsoft, which is valued at over $1.6 trillion. Twitter also held a reported $7.8 billion in cash and short-term investments in June against Microsoft's reported $136 billion.
This means that Twitter would likely need help from outside investors in order to fund the deal.
However, as a smaller company, Twitter would not face the same level of antitrust scrutiny as larger companies. Furthermore, the company does not operate in China, reducing the risk of pressure from the Chinese government.
The move could muddy the waters with Microsoft's deal, meaning it takes longer to strike and taking it outside the time limit. On the other hand, potential lawsuits against the deadline could also hold up either sale. Microsoft said that the company "will move quickly to pursue discussions with TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, in a matter of weeks, and in any event completing these discussions no later than September 15, 2020″.
Trump has also put his support behind Microsoft buying TikTok's US operations but has said that the US government should receive a "substantial portion" of the proceeds.
Twitter Faces $250 Million Fine Over Alleged Misuse of Data
Twitter previously had a similar short-form video sharing platform, Vine. The company ended the app in December 2016 as part of a restructuring initiative to reduce costs.
With over 500 million users, TikTok has a larger audience than Twitter, which has more than 300 million. TikTok also has a larger share of younger users, with over 50% falling into the 10-19 and 20-29 demographics. Twitter's largest demographic is the 25-34 group, with 30.9% of its users.
Facebook has also taken an interest in TikTok's success, but instead of seeing to buy the company, has chosen instead to create a rival for the platform, Reels.

Australian Drinking Water Map
Physical & Chemical
2010/18: Wandong/Heathcote Junction (Victoria) – Total Dissolved Solids, Manganese, Aluminium
Wandong – Heathcote Junction (Victoria) Total Dissolved Solids
2017/18: Wandong – Heathcote Junction (Victoria) – Total Dissolved Solids 1600mg/L (μS/cm)
"No specific health guideline value is provided for total dissolved solids (TDS), as there are no
health effects directly attributable to TDS. However for good palatability total dissolved solids
in drinking water should not exceed 600 mg/L.
Total dissolved solids (TDS) consist of inorganic salts and small amounts of organic matter that are dissolved in water. Clay particles, colloidal iron and manganese oxides and silica, fine enough to pass through a 0.45 micron filter membrane can also contribute to total dissolved solids.
Wandong/Heathcote Junction (Victoria) – Colour
2013-14 Wandong/Heathcote Junction (Victoria) – Colour 35HU (highest level)
Based on aesthetic considerations, true colour in drinking water should not exceed 15 HU.
"… Colour is generally related to organic content, and while colour derived from natural sources such as humic and fulvic acids is not a health consideration, chlorination of such water can produce a variety of chlorinated organic compounds as by-products (see Section 6.3.2 on disinfection by-products). If the colour is high at the time of disinfection, then the water should be checked for disinfection by-products. It should be noted, however, that low colour at the time of disinfection does not necessarily mean that the concentration of disinfection by-products will be low…
2010/11 – Heathcote (Victoria) – Manganese
2010/11 – Heathcote (Victoria) – Manganese 0.53mg/L (high)
Manganese: ADWG Guidelines 0.5mg/L. ADWG Aesthetic Guideline 0.1mg/L
Manganese is found in the natural environment. Manganese in drinking water above 0.1mg/L can give water an unpleasant taste and stain plumbing fixtures
Heathcote (Victoria) – Aluminium
2011/12: Heathcote (Victoria) Aluminium 1.1mg/L (max)
According to the ADWG, no health guideline has been adopted for Aluminium, but that the issue is still open to review. Aluminium can come from natural geological sources or from the use of aluminium salts as coagulants in water treatment plants. According to the ADWG "A well-operated water filtration plant (even using aluminium as a flocculant) can achieve aluminium concentrations in the finished water of less than 0.1 mg/L.
The most common form of aluminium in water treatment plants is Aluminium Sulfate (Alum). Alum can be supplied as a bulk liquid or in granular form. It is used at water treatment plants as a coagulant to remove turbidity, microorganisms, organic matter and inorganic chemicals. If water is particularly dirty an Alum dose of as high as 500mg/L could occur. There is also concern that other metals may also exist in refined alum.
While the ADWG mentions that there is considerable evidence that Aluminium is neurotoxic and can pass the gut barrier to accumulate in the blood, leading to a condition called encephalopathy (dialysis dementia) and that Aluminium has been associated with Parkinsonism dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the NHMRC, whilst also acknowledging studies which have linked Aluminium with Alzheimer disease, has not granted Aluminium a NOEL (No Observable Effect Level) due to insufficient and contradictory data. Without a NOEL, a health guideline cannot be established. The NHMRC has also stated that if new information comes to hand, a health guideline may be established in the future.
In communication with Aluminium expert Dr Chris Exley (Professor in Bioinorganic Chemistry
The Birchall Centre, Lennard-Jones Laboratories, Keele University, Staffordshire UK) in March 2013 regarding high levels of Aluminium detected in the South Western Victorian town of Hamilton
"It is my opinion that any value above 0.5 mg/L is totally unacceptable and a potential health risk. Where such values are maintained over days, weeks or even months, as indeed is indicated by the data you sent to me, these represent a significant health risk to all consumers. While consumers may not experience any short term health effects the result of longer term exposure to elevated levels of aluminium in potable waters may be a significant increase in the body burden of aluminium in these individuals. This artificially increased body burden will not return to 'normal' levels when the Al content of the potable water returns to normal but will act as a new platform level from which the Al body burden will continue to increase with age.
