Some time ago I had the opportunity to watch the Critic's Choice Awards. While checking out the red carpet looks one of them caught my attention. It was a beautifully done top knot designed in such a way to appear a bit messy yet still elegant! At first, I didn't notice the girl because I was so distracted by the top knot.
This belonged to none other than Margot Robbie, one of the greatest upcoming actresses in Hollywood. I know that she isn't new in the film industry but a woman who started getting roles for her looks is finally getting appreciated for her acting talent as well.
But it wasn't the hairstyle that caught me off guard. It was the fact that I haven't seen her with that hairstyle before. After that, I started recalling other famous haircuts like the shaven head of Britney or the extreme color combinations of Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. And then it struck me! "I should write an article about this" I thought, and this is exactly what this article is about.
So without further ado let's take a look at some of the most unusual celeb hairstyles found on the red carpet!
Since she was this article's inspiration it would be illogical to start somewhere else, right!? Why did she show up taking on a new look? If you thought that it was just another hairstyle you would be wrong. It was her way of getting people to talk about her, especially because of her new movie which is nominated for various awards, including the Oscar for leading female actress.
After an amazing performance, Margot had the idea of sparking conversations about her all around the globe and this is exactly what she managed to do. I mean, think about it, even the article you are reading right now was inspired by her interesting hairstyle.
Rihanna is one of those people that you will always get to see rocking another new hairstyle. The funny thing about her hairstyles is that they never look the same. The color, the style, and even the shine tends to differ a lot from one to the another.
This one, though, has to be one of my favorite ones. Very rarely will a fan be lucky enough to see Rihanna with her natural black hair. And yes, in case you didn't know she naturally is a brunette. If you want to see one of her most unusual hairstyles then make sure that you check out the Battleship movie. She plays a small role but still does it pretty well.
Wanna bend it like Beckham? Well, if you do then please don't try rocking dreads on your head. Only a select few people can truly pull off a luscious head of dreads. Yeah, he has experimented with this hairstyle but hasn't made a red carpet appearance with it thankfully. This is why we have to go with one of his other unusual looks.
Let's get one thing straight here. If you are Beckham then you should know that all hairstyles will suit you. Apart from being a great football player, David is a fashion icon as well. The photo you see is before he becomes that. Still, though, he looks pretty fashionable considering the time period that the photo was taken in.
If you are constantly online like I am then you must have seen the famous gif with Steve Carell screaming "God No" all the time. This is how I feel when I get to see celebrities dressed like this and sporting hairstyles like this one as well, if something like this can even be considered a hairstyle to begin with.
Miley Cyrus is known for her, let's call them intriguing, public appearances, and judging by this photo you can safely say that she doesn't really care about what other people will say about her. Want me to remind you of the Wrecking Ball video clip? Her head was shaven like she was going to join the army or something.
Avril Lavigne is one of those people that you will either love or hate and in my case the first will always apply. In this picture you see her red hair being combined with the rest in an unusual yet really beautiful hairstyle.
This woman doesn't seem to age. If you were to ask me I would say that she and Tom Cruise are vampires or something. But let's get back to the point here. If you think that this is odd looking for her then check out her "bad girl" phase in the early 00's. She wore cargo army pants for heaven's sake. Still, "When you're gone" will always be my favorite song in the world!
Unfortunately, there are some "artists" that instead of attracting people with their talent are trying to catch the attention with their attitude and looks. Nicki Minaj is one of those people. No matter what some people may say this specific hairstyle cannot be considered ok or "stylish". It looks ridiculous. I mean, what is this even supposed to be?
Throughout the years we have seen Nicki rocking all kinds of crazy hairstyles with various colors such as orange and pink as well. And don't get me going about the "Superbass" period. Come on, people. Don't be excited by all the idiotic things you see on the Internet and the television.
Ah, remember the golden age of pop music boy bands? NSYNC was, is, and will most likely always be the king even though they broke up (1D fans get out of here please). I may only be 20 years old but I and all of you must have seen some of the old hairstyles of Justin Timberlake. Who could forget, right? They look like mac and cheese, to be honest.
Thank heavens that he decided to change. At least now he looks very mature and elegant. Still, he likes going with the flow as his current hairstyle is identical to that of many million "modern" men of our age. Short sides and combed to the top. How original!
A great voice combined with a hideous, to say the least, hairstyle. Whataya want from me, Adam? To cheer for you? Please, look at this hairstyle and tell me if I am being the only crazy person here. And it isn't just about the hair. Everything is weird. An excessive amount of makeup. But I get it. Even if you don't, I sure do.
Times have changed and this isn't the emo phase anymore. Adam Lambert, however, seems not to agree with most of the world. He keeps dressing and literally drowning his face with black shade makeup all the time. I am not going to judge him about that, I will just say that he shouldn't go out with a hairstyle like that ever again.
Now, that was a really difficult decision and I don't mean whether to include this actor in the list but which hideous haircut to choose. I decided to go with this one and leave the other ones out. The reason is simple. Should I really explain what is wrong with this haircut? There is no fade on the back and the hair is cut way too much towards the top. And it looks completely mismatched from the hairstyle he is sporting in the front! Why the weird illusion, Robert Pattinson?
And what is this little rectangular patch of hair supposed to mean? The whole hairstyle is so bad that it may as well be the worst one featured on this list.
From the moment this woman opened up about her romantic partner preferences we have seen her changing her whole appearance multiple times. Maybe she started doing it as a mean of protesting but the reason she kept on doing it is clear. Her fans loved it and so did she. We have seen her with blue hair, pink hair, long, short or even shaven hairstyles.
This one, however, is different from the others as she appeared with it back in 2012. Why is it so memorable? Because she combined all the colors she wanted to dye her hair in and came up with the following result which, in my opinion, looked pretty cool.
A favorite among many men all around the world, a true Hollywood beauty! The "Black Widow" has been surprising us with her new appearance always. She has gone through multiple different phases but this specific haircut was everything but nice. She looked like a man grabbed from an 80s boy band and left in the early 00's. She noticed that as well and quickly rushed to change it.
Throughout the years we have seen her with long hair, short hair, red hair, and as long as the word "hair" is in the equation the number of possibilities is really high! At least she has a great personality and is an amazing actress.
Natalie seems to have grown keen on her Hunger Games' haircut. In fact, she liked it enough to make a public appearance on the red carpet rocking her shaved sides. You may know Natalie from the extremely popular television show called Game of Thrones, but if you thought that this pretty face can't turn to angry or furious then you would be wrong.
This actress has such a talent that she can portray any role she is given no matter how "sweet" or tough she needs to look. Now regarding her fans, they seem to like it as well which is what keeps her going. I would definitely not want to mess with Dormer when she is walking around with this fierce haircut.
Starting her career at a very young age, Drew became popular from her iconic role in "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" as Gertie. Then she would take on various roles in films until the big hit "Scream" reached theatres everywhere. Her popularity skyrocketed after the film. Throughout the years we have seen that Drew isn't so keen on changing her appearance regularly.
That was until 2009 when she decided to make an appearance with blonde hair and really interesting black tips. It is one of the most unusual hairstyles I have ever seen featured on the red carpet and the majority of others agree with me. Drew changed that hair color after a short time.
We all know her and everybody loves her. I mean, what's not to love? A great personality and a lot of talent. But let's be real here, was there even a small chance that the daughter of Lionel Richie wouldn't become famous or that she wouldn't be talented like her father?
Since a small kid she would change haircuts all the time and when she finally became older she thought it was time to do something crazy. And so she did by dying her hair purple and showing the world her eclectic style. Needless to say that everybody loved seeing her rocking this new hairstyle!
Everybody knows Gwen for her iconic blonde hair and red lipstick but 20 years ago she made a public appearance similar to which you haven't seen anywhere. You know how in Halloween we all dye our hair and put on costumes? Well, Gwen thought it would be a good idea to show up with blue hair and small colored stones all around her forehead and eyes.
Fortunately, she has decided to leave that "style" behind her and moved on to become the woman we all know and love today. The blonde hair looks great, especially on TV's "The Voice". Who wouldn't like having a woman like that sit next to him? Am I right Adam?
Being the child of Will Smith sure isn't easy, especially when your big brother and your father tend to get way more exposure than you. This must have been the thought crossing Willow's mind before she decided to dye her hair bright pink and appear in public right after.
She has been changing hairstyles constantly throughout her life but who would have thought that she would actually walk down the red carpet looking like that - especially since she is usually so stylish. One thing is for certain though. This girl has many fans and her 2.5 million Instagram followers are the proof.
Previously I talked about Gwen Stefani and Miley Cyrus who were both a judge on "The Voice". Now I am going to discuss Christina since she has been a judge on the show as well. Even though you don't see her rocking crazy hairstyles in the show that doesn't in any way mean that she hasn't done so earlier in her life.
This is just one of a plethora of examples but due to its unusual nature, I decided to go with this. And if you think this is looking weird then do a quick Google search about her afro hair. You can thank me later!
Just like Madonna, Lady Gaga is for sure one of the top pop singers of our time. Maybe she will be the next Queen. Personally speaking, I like her music way more than that of Beyonce's. And if we were to compare appearances then Lady Gaga would always win. And I am not talking about beauty. I am referring to how stylish one can look.
We have seen Lady Gaga wearing dresses looking like they originate straight out of the future. Her hairstyles have been changing constantly throughout her career but the one you are seeing in this photo is one of my favorite looks from her.
Kesha (or Ke$ha) was in her prime early on the 2010's but unfortunately, she went down as quickly as she came up. It seems like "Tik Tok" was more than a hit song, it was her popularity clock ticking down. Gladly, she is slowly recovering and rising back to the spotlight as time goes by.
Regarding her astonishing appearance in the photo the only thing really popping out (except her beauty) is the hair colour. Very rarely have we seen someone pose on the red carpet while their hair is composed of two completely different colours. It looks cool, though, so if you ask me, she gets a pass!


This is a very famous Opelousas, Louisiana dish. The secret is in the seasoning and the long, slow basting process. It's served with rice dressing, petit pois, candied yams and green salad, French bread and black coffee demitasse.
Season chicken generously with Creole seasoning or salt and pepper. Rub well on each side. Place fryer halves in open baking pan and cover with a mixture of oil and water. Place pan in preheated oven (275 degrees F) and bake until hot. Sprinkle generously with paprika and chili powder. Baste continuously every half hour until dark brown – 3 to 5 hours.

Derwent Innovation coverage of German patents extended back to 1877
by Bob Stembridge
Patent Analyst, Clarivate Analytics
Clarivate Analytics
Germany is an important industrialised market with a long history of innovation and a well-established patent system that underlies its prosperity. It is the largest economy in Europe ahead of France and the UK, and the fourth largest in the world by nominal GDP. It is also the largest manufacturing economy in Europe with 29.1% of GDP coming from industry.
Germany also invests a larger proportion of GDP in gross expenditure on R&D (GERD) at 2.93% in 2016, compared to France at 2.38% and the UK at just 1.69%.
A look at recent patent activity shows also that inventions originating in Germany outnumber those from both France and the UK by on average 3.8 and 5 times respectively over the last ten years:
Source: DWPI/Derwent Innovation
During the same period, the top 10 companies by volume of patent families originating in Germany are largely from the automotive sector:
Germany then is a wealth of technical innovation driven by some of the longest established global companies; Siemens, for example, was founded in 1847 and Daimler was one of the earliest automotive companies starting in 1890.
Germany then is a wealth of technical innovation driven by some of the longest established global companies."
But until now, comprehensive and complete patent information for this market had only been available in Derwent Innovation back to the middle of the 20th century with full text coverage of German granted patents running from 1968 to date, bibliographic and first claim coverage of applications from 1968 expanded to full text from 1987 to date, and full text of utility models from 1983 to date.
From today forward, as part of a systematic program to enhance the global collections within Derwent Innovation, full text German patent information has been expanded in coverage and extended in time.
Derwent Innovation now offers extended German full-text data coverage with the addition of new original language information from 1877 to 1968 and enhancements to existing coverage from 1969 to 1986. We have deepened our prior art backfile for German patent applications, granted patents, and utility models, which includes bibliographic data, abstracts for applications, description and claims.
Granted Patents: Originally 1968 to date, coverage has now been extended back to 1877 with the addition of 1.4 million records.
Patent Applications: Originally bibliographic and first claim coverage from 1968 and full text from 1987 to date, full text coverage now has now been extended back to 1964 with the addition of 550 records, and coverage from 1968 to 1987 expanded to include full text with the update of 2 million records.
Utility Models: Originally 1983 to date, full text coverage has now been extended back to 1934 with the addition of 550,000 records.
Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive and trusted data for more accurate analysis, so we increased our prior art backfile from 4.2 million records to 6.1 million records. Now customers will have automatic access to review and analyze the additional technical content found in over 1 million German patents, more than 600,000 utility models and applications with the coverage we added prior to 1969, as well as content enhancements we made to over half of the existing 4.2 million backfile records.

BOMBSHELLS: Running back Oliveira goes to great lengths to make sure he's ready when called upon by Bombers

For most of the games this year, and on just about every offensive play, a keen observer might have been able to see Winnipeg Blue Bombers' backup running back Brady Oliveira following the backup quarterback around like that bothersome kid down the block who is always asking questions.
"He probably gets annoyed with me," Oliveira said Tuesday after the Bombers practised at IG Field.
BOMBSHELLS: Running back Oliveira goes to great lengths to make sure he's ready when called upon by Bombers Back to video
"I'm by Sean McGuire, every single play, on the sidelines, asking him what the play is. I'm always dragging him on the sidelines to make sure he echoes the call back to me."
For Oliveira, it's a method of staying mentally in the game, even when he's not playing. The calls get relayed from offensive co-ordinator Buck Pierce to the quarterbacks through helmet speakers. For the most part, Zach Collaros, tries to execute those calls on the field, while McGuire gets them as well, just in case.
Then he gets Oliveira in his ear.
"I want to know what the play is, even when I'm not on the field, so that when I do get my chance I can go in there and I know what's going on," Oliveira said.
Just such a scenario arose last Friday in Edmonton, during the Bombers 26-16 win over the Elks.
Star running back Andrew Harris got hurt while scoring a second-quarter touchdown and Oliveira had to quickly enter the game and take over for a player who has won three straight CFL rushing titles.
Oliveira didn't miss a beat, carrying the rock 16 times for 105 yards, and catching three passes for nine yards, with Harris on the sidelines.

"Especially coming off the bench like that and, you know, you're not fully warm," Oliveira said. "It's sometimes hard, mentally, to stay in it when you're on the sidelines. I make sure I do.
"As soon as I stepped in there, it felt good. Looking back to the early season, with me running the ball, to now, things are just looking a lot slower for me now, my reads and everything like that."
Oliveira, a second-round draft pick in 2019, started the season as the Bombers feature tailback, with Harris nursing a calf injury.
The 24-year-old Winnipegger was named a CFL performer of the week in the season opener after rushing for 126 yards in a win over the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. He cooled off considerably after that but turned it back up with his great opportunity on Friday.
He could get another shot this week, when the Bombers host the B.C. Lions at IG Field on Saturday.
Harris did not participate in practice on Tuesday, because of a knee injury and Oliveira was seeing most of the reps at tailback. There's no reason for the Bombers to rush Harris at all, given that they are just a win away from clinching a spot in the West Final and they have Oliveira ready to go.
"If that's what happens then I'll be ready," Oliveira said. "Me being a natural competitor, I want to start. I know my abilities and I want to go out there and help my team win football games. Whatever that looks like for me, whether it's starting on Saturday, getting some reps on offence, or playing special teams. Whatever it is I'm gonna stay ready and I just want to help this team win football games."
As usual, Bombers coach Mike O'Shea was not giving away any secrets about Harris's status for Saturday's game, but there's no doubt he's comfortable with Oliveira filling in.
"We drafted him for a reason," O'Shea said. "We like our depth, with him and Johnny (Augustine). Brady has had more of an opportunity this year because of the way he came out of training camp and carried the load. Brady played extremely well, coming on for (Harris) in the game. That's the expectation he has of himself and the expectation that's on him from his teammates."
Harris wasn't alone in sitting out practice on Tuesday.
He was joined by receiver Nic Demski (foot), right tackle Jermarcus Hardrick (hip), kick returner Janarion Grant (ankle), special teams star Mike Miller (hip), defensive tackle Jake Thomas (shoulder), defensive back Nick Taylor (hip) and defensive end Jonathan Kongbo (not injury related) on the sidelines.
Hardrick and Taylor missed the game in Edmonton last week, but both remain possibilities to play this week. The Bombers have four practice days before they take on the Lions.
O'Shea said none of the other injuries appeared to be anything that would keep players out this week.
"I don't think any player is 100%," O'Shea said. "From the second day of training camp on, there's not a player out there that's 100% any more. They're all getting the most out of their bodies, whatever that percentage is. So, at this point in the season, there's nobody that's not dealing with something."
'SUCK IT UP'
The temperature took a considerable turn on Tuesday and the Bombers went from practising in nice sunny and warm weather one day, to cool air and a howling north wind the next.
Of course, this is nothing compared to what the team is going to be dealing with next month and even into December. With the start of the 2021 CFL season pushed back because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Bombers likely to be hosting the West Final on Dec. 5, the players better get used to playing and practising in extreme cold.
"It doesn't bother me at all any more," veteran safety Brandon Alexander said. "If I'm not practising or something like that, then yes, it's a little cold. I'm from Florida.
"But if you've seen me for the past three years, I don't care how cold it is outside, if it's snowing or not, I don't got no sleeves on. Once you get running out in that cold, it's time to play ball."
Of course, it's easier for Alexander to say this because he's been through it before. Players like defensive backs DeAundre Alford, from Georgia, and Deatrick Nichols, from Miami, could be in for a rude awakening.
"It's not something big because we already bought in when we got here," Alexander said. "This is Winnipeg, another form of it is "Winter-peg." This is the place where it gets cold.
"Other teams don't want to come here and play once it gets cold like that. But we're here. We have to play here, we have to practice here, we don't have a choice. When we came here, we bought in already, when it was sunny outside. There's no reason for us to complain about it being cold now.
"Suck it up. We don't cry about it."

Trump could barely last a sentence.
After receiving a day's worth of non-stop criticism, President Donald Trump read a prepared statement saying he accepts the U.S. intelligence community's assessment that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
Trump had been under siege since his performance at a press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin yesterday, where he blamed the U.S. for Russia's election interference efforts and refused to condemn the country. Instead, he delved into conspiracy theories about the DNC.
Trump also said that he misspoke on the matter, saying that he meant to say, "I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be Russia" who interfered in the election.
At the conference, he said, "[They] said they think it's Russia… I will say this: I don't see any reason why it would be," sparking the uproar.
This is not the first time Trump has had to walk back a very public statement he made. In the 2016 election, he was forced to backtrack after saying women should be punished for having an abortion if Roe v. Wade was overturned.


The Enterprise Agreement Programme will enable Alizent to deploy OSIsoft's PI System broadly across Air Liquide's operations to optimise production, minimise environmental impacts and improve logistics, among other services.
In 2015, Air Liquide launched the Smart and Innovative (SIO) programme to improve the way the company serves its customers through the coordination of plant operations and centralised control centres.
Alizent, an Air Liquide entity dedicated to Industrial IoT, digitally connects its clients' workforce and customers with their assets to create efficiencies, generate new revenues and elevate customer satisfaction.
Alizent, for instance, tracks more than 22 million gas canisters, beer kegs and other mobile assets to reduce losses and optimise inventory. It also manages more than 20,000 remote facilities such as bulk tanks for industrial gases to reduce service costs and supervises over 250 production facilities to improve their performance and maintenance.
OSIsoft's PI System serves as the operational data infrastructure for the SIO programme, collecting, visualising and transforming critical asset data into insight for the teams of the SIO remote centres, notably in France, China and Kuala Lumpur, for real-time decision support and conducting analytics. Air Liquide's industrial operations generate over one billion data points per day.
"We work with OSIsoft because it has long been a leader in turning critical operations data into a true asset employees can use. By combining Big Data with human intelligence, the workflow of each Air Liquide production unit linked to an SIO centre is adapted in real-time to the changing needs of customers," explained Alexis Duret, CEO of Alizent.
Under the OSIsoft Enterprise Agreement Programme, Air Liquide employees will be able to further accelerate the roll out of new enterprise-wide use cases, strategically improve real-time data management at scale and tap into new sources of data.
Engineered to unleash creativity, OSIsoft Enterprise Agreement program, software and services accelerate time-to-value and unlock access to data in a more efficient way than a project-by-project approach.

Q: How to configure mysqldump to avoid max_allowed_packet error Honestly it baffles me that with a completely default installation of mysql if I run mysqldump with default parameters it generates a SQL file that can't be imported into another completely default installation of mysql.  From what I can gather it's got something to do with the max_allowed_packet setting and/or the net_buffer_length setting.  I've read a bunch about this, and tried tweaking it a bunch of ways on both the export and import sides, but it still doesn't work.  I keep getting the packet too big error on import.  From everything I've read, here's my best guess:
mysqldump --net_buffer_length=50000 myschema > giant_file.sql

Because I read here that mysqldump refers to max_allowed_packet as net_buffer_length because ... uhh ... anyway.  Then to import
mysql --max_allowed_packet=999999 myschema < giant_file.sql

But this still doesn't work.  How do I export / import the database???

A: You may have to make the supreme sacrifice for mysqldumps: bypass extended INSERTs.
This makes each row happen in its own INSERT.
It also increase the size of the mysqldump output.
mysqldump --skip-extended-insert --net_buffer_length=50000 myschema > gigantic_file.sql

Give it a Try !!!

I met The River. It caresses my soul with it's song…the song against a shore…begging for me to join it forever more.
You abandoned me, Ana. I cannot hear your voice anymore — is it just too loud to hear you — OR.DID.YOU.LEAVE?
It is very loud, here. Sleep is elusive and the chaos is my only friend. That is why The River beckoned — it sensed my loneliness…and my longing.
I will join it soon — but for now, I will visit. Please don't hate me, Ana, for giving up on you — but, after all you gave up on me first. I was not strong enough to remain your friend.

Development of Ecological Footprint and Available Biocapacity per capita in EEA Member Countries The ecological footprint is a measure of the area needed to support a population's lifestyle. This includes the consumption of food, fuel, wood, and fibres. Pollution, such as carbon dioxide emissions, is also counted as part of the footprint. Biocapacity measures how biologically productive land is. It is measured in 'global hectares': a hectare with the world average biocapacity. Biologically productive land includes cropland, pasture, forests and fisheries

Estimated global warming at which the onset of the events could occur versus their impact Temperature increase (above 1990 level) at which the various events could occur and an estimate of their impact. The impact scale has subjective qualifications ('minor', 'notable', 'major' and 'devastating'), which were assigned on the basis of the geographical scale (from 'regional' to 'continental' and 'global') and the character of the damages ('light', 'moderate', 'heavy' or 'extreme'). The level of scientific understanding, as well as the understanding of possible impacts for most of these events is low. The shapes and sizes of the ovals do not represent uncertainties in impact and temperature onset of eventualities and these uncertainties may be significant.

Share of Renewable Energy to Final Energy Consumption with normalised for hydro, EU27 Share of Renewable Energy to Final Energy Consumption with normalised for hydro, EU27. In 2009 the European Commission adopted a new directive on renewable energy (2009/28/EC). The new Directive on renewable energy sets an ambitious target for the EU-27 of 20% share of energy from renewable sources in final energy consumption by 2020 and a 10% share of renewable energy in the transport sector (in each Member State). The 2008 data update will include revised methodology.
Potential climatic tipping elements Tipping elements are regional-scale features of the climate that could exhibit threshold-type behaviour in response to human-driven climate change – that is, a small amount of climate change at a critical point could trigger an abrupt and/or irreversible shift in the tipping element. The consequences of such shifts for societies and ecosystems are likely to be severe. Question marks indicate systems whose status as tipping elements is particularly uncertain. There are other potential tipping elements that are missing from the map, for example shallow-water coral reefs (Veron et al. 2009) threatened in part by ocean acidification

The European environment – state and outlook 2010 SOER 2010 provides a set of assessments of the current state of Europe's environment, its likely future state, what is being done and what could be done to improve it, how global megatrends might affect future trends… and more.
Land use conflicts necessitate integrated policy Demand for land in Europe is high. Food and biomass production, housing, infrastructure and recreation all compete for space, with impacts on our climate, biodiversity and ecosystem services. In a recent assessment, the European Environment Agency (EEA) analyses land use change in Europe, concluding that we need an integrated policy approach based on reliable data to balance sectoral demands and manage land sustainably.

Marine and coastal environment — SOER 2010 thematic assessment European marine regions include the north-east Atlantic and Arctic oceans, and the Mediterranean, Black and Baltic seas. Human activities — such as fishing, aquaculture and agriculture — and climate change cause large and severe impacts on Europe's coastal and marine ecosystems. The EU objective of halting biodiversity loss by 2010 has not been met in either the coastal or the marine environment. Recognising the need for an integrated ecosystem-based approach to reduce pressures, the EU Integrated Maritime Policy allows for the development of sea-related activities in a sustainable manner. Its environmental pillar, the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, aims to deliver 'good environmental status' of the marine environment by 2020, and the Common Fisheries Policy will be reformed in 2012 with the aim of achieving sustainable fisheries. Complementary policy efforts include the EU Water Framework Directive and other freshwater legislation, and the Habitats and Birds Directives.
Understanding climate change — SOER 2010 thematic assessment Average global air and ocean temperatures are rising, leading to the melting of snow and ice and rising global mean sea level. Ocean acidification results from higher CO2 concentrations. With unabated greenhouse gas emissions, climate change could lead to an increasing risk of irreversible shifts in the climate system with potentially serious consequences. Temperature rises of more than 1.5–2 °C above pre-industrial levels are likely to cause major societal and environmental disruptions in many regions. The atmospheric CO2 concentration needs to be stabilised at 350–400 parts per million (ppm) in order to have a 50 % chance of limiting global mean temperature increase to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels (according to the IPCC in 2007, and confirmed by later scientific insights).
Adapting to climate change - SOER 2010 thematic assessment Climate change is happening and will continue to have far-reaching consequences for human and natural systems. Impacts and vulnerabilities differ considerably across regions, territories and economic sectors in Europe. Strategies to adapt to climate change are necessary to manage impacts even if global temperature stays below a 2 °C increase above the pre-industrial level. The EU adaptation framework aims at developing a comprehensive strategy by 2013, to be supported by a clearinghouse for sharing and maintaining information on climate change impacts, vulnerability and adaptation.
SOER 2010 — assessment of global megatrends This exploratory assessment of global megatrends relevant for the European environment focuses on the impact of major global trends on Europe. A global-to-European perspective is relevant for European environmental policymaking because Europe's environmental challenges and management options are being reshaped by global drivers such as demographics, technologies, trade patterns and consumption. The assessment provides analysis of 11 relevant megatrends, summarises the links between megatrends and Europe's priority environmental challenges, and reflects on possible implications for policymaking.
Urban environment - SOER 2010 thematic assessment The global population is congregating in our cities. Eighty per cent of the world's estimated nine billion people in 2050 are expected to live in urban areas. Our cities and urban areas face many challenges from social to health to environmental. The impacts of cities and urban areas are felt in other regions which supply cities with food, water and energy and absorb pollution and waste. However, the proximity of people, businesses and services associated with the very word 'city' means that there are also huge opportunities. Indeed, well designed, well managed urban settings offer a key opportunity for sustainable living.
Consumption and the environment - SOER 2010 thematic assessment The consumption of goods and services in EEA member countries is a major driver of global resource use and associated environmental impacts. Growth in global trade is resulting in an increasing share of environmental pressures and impacts from European consumption taking place beyond Europe. Food and drink, housing, mobility and tourism are responsible for a large part of the pressures and impacts caused by consumption in the EU. Achieving significant reductions in environmental pressures and impacts will require changing private and public consumption patterns, to supplement gains achieved through better technology and improved production processes.
Air pollution — SOER 2010 thematic assessment Emissions of air pollutants derive from almost all economic and societal activities. They result in clear risks to human health and ecosystems. In Europe, policies and actions at all levels have greatly reduced anthropogenic emissions and exposure but some air pollutants still harm human health. Similarly, as emissions of acidifying pollutants have reduced, the situation for Europe's rivers and lakes has improved but atmospheric nitrogen oversupply still threatens biodiversity in sensitive terrestrial and water ecosystems. The movement of atmospheric pollution between continents attracts increasing political attention. Greater international cooperation, also focusing on links between climate and air pollution policies, is required more than ever to address air pollution.
Freshwater quality — SOER 2010 thematic assessment The continuing presence of a range of pollutants in a number of Europe's freshwaters threatens aquatic ecosystems and raises concerns for public health. Current reporting under the EU Water Framework Directive shows that a substantial proportion of Europe's freshwaters are at risk of not achieving the aim of 'good status' by 2015. Driven by the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD), improvements in the collection and treatment of wastewater in some regions of Europe have led to a reduction in the discharge of some pollutants to fresh and coastal waters. Challenges remain, however, because UWWTD implementation remains incomplete and other significant sources of water pollution exist, especially agriculture and urban storm flows. The implementation of effective and timely measures, required under the WFD, needs to encompass a greater focus on controls 'at source' and the efficient use of resources including water, energy and chemicals.
Water resources: quantity and flows - SOER 2010 thematic assessment Europe's freshwaters are affected by water scarcity, droughts, floods and physical modifications. Many water bodies are at risk of failing to meet the aim of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) to achieve good status by 2015. Future policies should encourage demand management through actions such as increasing water efficiency. In addition, water management will benefit from applying an ecosystems perspective, using floodplains and groundwater aquifers for storing water, and making room (space) for rivers.
Material resources and waste — SOER 2010 thematic assessment The European economy needs huge amounts of resources to function. Apart from consuming minerals, metals, concrete and wood, Europe burns fossil fuels and uses land to satisfy the needs of its citizens. Demand for materials is so intense that between 20 and 30 % of the resources we use are now imported. At the other end of the materials chain, the EU economy generates around six tons of waste per person every year. With the boom in international trade, EU consumption and production may potentially damage ecosystems and human health not only within but also far beyond its borders.
Soil — SOER 2010 thematic assessment Nearly all of the food and fibres used by humans are produced on soil. Soil is also essential for water and ecosystem health. It is second only to the oceans as a global carbon sink, with an important role in the potential slowing of climate change. Soil functions depend on a multitude of soil organisms which makes it an important part of our biodiversity. Nevertheless, soil in many parts of Europe is being over-exploited, degraded and irreversibly lost due to impacts from industrial activities and land use change, leading to soil sealing, contamination, erosion and loss of organic carbon. Due to these problems, legislation for the protection of soils has been proposed at EU level.
Biodiversity — SOER 2010 thematic assessment Biodiversity — the variety of ecosystems, species and genes — is essential to human wellbeing, delivering services that sustain our economies and societies. Its huge importance makes biodiversity loss all the more troubling. European species are threatened with extinction and overexploitation. Natural habitats continue to be lost and fragmented, and degraded by pollution and climate change. Despite actions taken and progress made, these threats continue to impact biodiversity in Europe. The new global and EU targets to halt and reverse biodiversity loss by 2020 are ambitious but achieving them will require better policy implementation, coordination across sectors, ecosystem management approaches and a wider understanding of biodiversity's value.
Land use — SOER 2010 thematic assessment Land use shapes our environment in positive and negative ways. Productive land is a critical resource for food and biomass production and land use strongly influences soil erosion and soil functions such as carbon storage. Land management largely determines the beauty of Europe's landscapes. It is important therefore to monitor land cover and land-use change through tools such as Corine land cover. Data on land-cover change in Europe from 2000–2006 show that growth in built-up areas and forest land leads to a continued loss of agricultural land. In turn, global economic and environmental change will increasingly influence the way Europeans use land (e.g. as communities work to mitigate and adapt to climate change). Policy responses are needed to help resolve conflicting land-use demands and to guide land-use intensity to support environmental land management.
Mitigating climate change - SOER 2010 thematic assessment The EU emitted close to 5 billion tonnes (Gt) of CO2-equivalent emissions in 2008. It contributes today around 12 % of annual global anthropogenic direct greenhouse gas emissions. The EU is making good progress towards achieving its emission reduction targets. A rapid, sustained and effective transition to a low carbon economy is necessary to mitigate climate change and to meet global greenhouse gas emission targets.

If you've been proudly sporting your facial fuzz for the last few years, it could finally be time to dig out the razor.
That's because a new study has highlighted the potential hygienic drawbacks of having a beard.
A new study found that every sampled beard contained bacteria and nearly half had bugs that were hazardous to human health.
In contrast a number of dogs tested proved to have lower levels of microbes.
The research was intended to discover whether there was a risk that humans could pick up a dog-borne disease from an MRI scanner that was also used for examinations by vets.
Researchers took swabs from the beards of 18 men and the necks of 30 dogs across a range of breeds and compared the results.
Seven men were found to be harbouring microbes that were a threat to human health.

New York Magazine would definitely recommend taking a hiatus from New York life, especially from the fast lane of the big city. Occasionally, even the consummate Manhattanite must get out of the Big Apple, if only to realize what it means to be a city dweller and what it would mean to be a provincial dweller. So recharge your programmed self and travel up to Briarcliff Manor, New York where cozy restaurants, old-fashioned shops and Hudson River air will certainly give you a better vantage point on the true New Yorker. New York magazine may also propose that you visit the towns that envelop Briarcliff Manor, Ossining and Mt. Pleasant, towns whose rustic hometown environments will rejuvenate your smog-filled mind and body. You may even find yourself desiring to settle down and raise a family amid the great school districts and close-knit communities.


The latest podcast episode continues our narrative on Southeast Asia in the early twentieth century, by looking at Indonesia, then called the Dutch East Indies, from 1901 to 1941 (A.D.). First we will learn how oil was discovered in the islands, and how it replaced spices as Indonesia's most important product. Then we will see how the Dutch administered the islands during that time. Finally we will follow the development of Indonesian nationalism, and meet Sukarno, the first leader of modern Indonesia.
For the podcast's 32nd episode (33rd if you count the introduction), we will return to the Southeast Asian mainland, and cover the history of Burma, modern-day Myanmar, in the early twentieth century. In particular we will concentrate our attention on the nationalist movements that sprang up, to oppose British rule. Three of the nationalists we will meet here, Aung San, U Nu and Ne Win, will become important in future episodes, so remember their names!

Home 1 › Firefly 2
Firefly is an American space Western drama television series which ran from 2002–2003, created by writer and director Joss Whedon, under his Mutant Enemy Productions label. The series is set in the year 2517, after the arrival of humans in a new star system and follows the adventures of the renegade crew of Serenity, a "Firefly-class" spaceship. The ensemble cast portrays the nine characters who live on Serenity. Whedon pitched the show as "nine people looking into the blackness of space and seeing nine different things."
The show explores the lives of a group of people, some of whom fought on the losing side of a civil war, who make a living on the fringes of society as part of the pioneer culture of their star system. In this future, the only two surviving superpowers, the United States and China, fused to form the central federal government, called the Alliance, resulting in the fusion of the two cultures. According to Whedon's vision, "nothing will change in the future: technology will advance, but we will still have the same political, moral, and ethical problems as today."

Meet the Designer Creating Lingerie For Muslim Women to Wear on Their Wedding Night
Say 'I do' to these luxurious sets
Khaoula Ghanem
Art & Culture, Fashion
What's underneath your wedding day ensemble is equally as important, according to London-based fashion designer Aneesa Sabrina Qureshi, who recently launched her bridal lingerie label Hasaria, designed specifically with Muslim women in mind. The 25-year-old founded her label in 2020 to make women feel more confident and empowered during their nikkah, or Islamic marriage ceremony.
Une publication partagée par HASARIA (@hasarialondon)
Qureshi, who graduated with a bachelors in Fashion Contour (which specializes in lingerie) from the London College of Fashion, came up with the idea for Hasaria as her final project at university. "As a teenager, I was always inspired by Victoria's Secret and its designs, however, I knew I couldn't wear certain (pieces) until I'm married," she shared with Mille. "I always had a dream of creating my own lingerie and nightwear brand and thought of creating bridal lingerie and nightwear for nikkahs, honeymoons, and anniversaries," she explained.
The result is a lineup of regal, lace robes that are perfect to wear while you're sitting in hair and makeup, silk night gowns in jewel tones that will hold comfort-wise against even your softest pair of pajamas, and delicate sets you'll want to wear beyond your wedding night.
Qureshi, who is of Pakistani descent and spent some time in the UAE, decided to add a cultural element to her creations, which is why she called her label Hasaria, meaning "exclusive" in Arabic.
"The overall aim of the brand is to make the woman know that she herself is exclusive and so is what she wears on her special night," said the 25-year-old.
Epitomizing luxury, each of the pieces in her collections use rich materials such as silk and lace and are meticulously embroidered with sequins and gems, because the designer believes it's important for Muslim women to wear comfortable, chic, and luxurious undergarments on their weddings.
"Bridal lingerie is special. It's not regular lingerie which we wear everyday underneath our clothes. When wearing bridal lingerie, it is a statement to yourself that you are now a married woman. The designs for bridal nightwear are more extravagant and luxurious and are meant to be worn on special nights," the designer said. "I think it's important for Muslim women to feel the most beautiful on their wedding nights as they also have to feel the most comfortable within themselves. This is where Hasaria helps; it makes the woman feel confident and beautiful, it is also a symbol of the beginning of being a wife," she added.
Qureshi also aims to challenge conservative attitudes towards romantic relations between married men and women. "The first night after your nikkah is a special moment between you and your partner, and it is an act of reward in Islam," Qureshi explains.
Due to the unconventional concept of her brand, Qureshi admits that she wasn't expecting such a positive reception after launching her label, and she attributes some of Hasaria's success to the social media platform TikTok.
"I definitely didn't expect this reaction for the brand," admits the designer. "So far, so many women love the concept, and love the fact it is lingerie and nightwear catered to 'halal' nights. The response on TikTok has been crazy and I feel like I've found a community that I'll always stay connected to. I've even had husbands buying Hasaria for their wife as gift which is amazing," she mused. "Anyone who wants to express themselves and promote themselves or a brand should be on TikTok."
Whether its due to cultural reasons or stigma, lingerie brands helmed by Muslim POC women are very few and far between, so it's refreshing to see the positive reaction that Hasaria is getting online. We're certain that this is just the beginning.

What is Green Screen
Green screens are widely used in both professional and amateur video production. Let's find out how a green screen works and why it is green.
by Anna Kosarenko
Green screen definition
Nowadays, when watching even the most fantastic and implausible scenes, the audience completely loses awareness of the illusory nature. The ruins of buildings, interplanetary galaxies, and many special effects seem so realistic that there is practically no doubt about their existence. However, it is only the skillful work of professional designers, artists, and other specialists, as well as the use of green screens as backdrops on set. But what is the definition of a green screen exactly?
Other than the obvious reference to the background color, green screen refers to the technology that combines several images in a single composition by replacing and combining backgrounds. The software makes combining two or more images in the same frame or scene easy. The convenience of green screens is that it becomes possible to create the required background in the frame or scene without expensive outdoor shooting by replacing the studio background with a virtual picture.
How does a green screen work
The footage is recorded on a monochromatic color background in the studio, and the keying process takes place during further video editing. Keying is the removal of the green background through video editing programs. After removing the green color, the background will be completely transparent, and one can fill this area with another image or video. The goal of keying is to get the background as clean as possible.
When using a green screen, the main goal is to plan what is real in the shot and what is not. The author must determine in advance what will be physically present in the scene and what will be added later while editing. On set, small props like tennis balls are frequently used as visual references for the actors to navigate in the scene.
Lighting is the second most crucial point. Filmmakers have to think about how to set the light for the characters to match the lighting of their supposed environment before starting recording. It may not seem important, but it will make a huge difference during post-processing and compositing all the layers in the shot.
Why are green screens green
It may be hard to believe now, but green was not always the primary color for backdrops – at the initial stage of development, this spot was claimed by the blue color. When the green screen was invented at the end of the 1970s, blue backgrounds were gradually replaced by them, and the reason is quite amusing. In many ways, the idea was "suggested" to professionals by the character of Superman: his blue suit required the use of a different background. Thus, Christopher Reeve was one of the first specialists who replaced the then traditional blue screen with a green one.
Both colors are as far from skin color as possible, which is why they were chosen for replaceable backgrounds. At the same time, there are some differences, due to which green had an advantage, so it was used as the main color.
Generally, if you plan to use a colored background, choose a color that is extremely scarce on the object you are shooting. For example, if there is a lot of green on the object, you should choose a blue screen and vice versa. Therefore, a large number of photographers carry both green and blue screens with them.
However, green is still not the only color used in keying. It can be a plain red, black, or whatever other color backgrounds, depending on the color of a person's clothes or objects you're recording.
Digital green screens
In recent years, green screens have been widely used not only in films but also in videos and streams of ordinary Internet users. And why wouldn't it, when it allows them not to worry about the interior of the "studio" and provides a much neater look of the streamer figure cut out from the background on top of the video or game instead of the rectangular camera window. But the screen costs money, as it needs to be stored somewhere and hung on something, which may not be convenient due to its large size.
Fortunately, there is a digital analog. In addition to solving these problems, the digital green screen has another important advantage over the "real" one – it is much less demanding on lighting. The AI doesn't always cut out the moving person perfectly from the background, but these imperfections are usually a small price for not bothering with the green screen and spotlight placement. After all, you can always adjust video during post-processing.
With the rapid development of technology, this will soon also cease to be a problem. Digital green screens will likely be commonly used in filming.

The 8 p.m. tracking map shows that the very southern tip of Florida is right on the edge of the "cone of error," as the weather people on TV call it. On the map that's the yellow cone where the hurricane could go, and the further away from its present location, the wider the cone is. That means that the track of Hurricane Frances may not move in this direction. At least that's my wishful thinking. But still, even if it makes landfall a hundred miles north of here, we're still going to get some pretty hefty winds and rain. But it looks like the chances of a direct hit on Miami are lessening.
Reports are coming in from the Bahamas that San Salvador Island got hit with 125 mph winds as the hurricane passed over on its way to the northwest. I hope that there was no loss of life.
