Whale Blast: Nature's bomb is really the world's most smelly biochemical weapon?
On January 17, 2021, the Italian Coast Guard found the body of a fin whale 20 meters long and weighing 77 tons near the port of Sorrento. When it was discovered, the body of the fin whale had swollen into a huge bulge. , Just like a huge pufferfish, just as people from all walks of life speculated that a whale explosion was about to happen, the Italian police successfully eliminated this hidden danger, which was disappointing!
Whale Burst: The world's most smelly biochemical weapon
I believe that the onlookers must not be too serious, and the rare scene of whale explosions is not likely to happen globally. There have been two famous whale explosions in history, one was underestimated, the other was I didn't expect it at all!
Oregon Whale Burst: The Operation of Genius
In November 1970, a 14-meter-long sperm whale weighing about 8 tons ran aground on the coast of Florence, Oregon. Whether it was washed up on the coast or stranded after it died is difficult to verify, but the Oregon Expressway The bureau attaches great importance to this, because this place is close to the Oregon Highway, and they have the right and more obligation to deal with this huge "whale".
How to deal with it? There are several ways, one is to dig a big pit and bury it on the spot, the other is to contact a local museum or university to make a specimen, and the other is to blow it up because someone muttered at the seminar, and in the end there was no specimen. Because of the need, and also found it troublesome to dig a big hole, I decided to use explosives!
After consultations between the Highway Administration and the U.S. Navy, this super nasty idea quickly became a model of military-civilian cooperation. After all, it is rare for the Navy to perform this kind of "live ammunition blasting" mission in peacetime, and assisting local areas to deal with whale carcasses has become a military mission. And because the sperm whale's carcass is beginning to swell, the hydrogen sulfide and methane produced by protein corruption have caused the whale's belly to swell, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Super blasting, Americans never want to do stupid things a second time
The engineer of the highway management team, George Thornton, assessed that it might require multiple blasting. The first time required half a ton of explosives. On November 12, the explosives were in place, and they were quickly deployed around the whale carcass. And because it was a military-civilian cooperation project, TV news reporter Paul Linnman was also invited to record it on the spot. As a result, this shameful incident to the whole world was completely recorded.
The plan is perfect. George intends to bury half a ton of explosives on the side close to the coast. After the explosion, the air wave will throw the whale's carcass into the sea. The next thing is simple. The seabirds and fish will eat the leftovers. The dead body, everything is so perfect!
Engineer George Thornton was hiding in a simple bunker not far away. Not far behind him was a large crowd of onlookers. They were still crowded forward and were driven to a safe distance 400 away from the whale. What a good thing? Can the important role of onlookers be eliminated? George turned around to look at the eager expressions of the audience and was very satisfied. He pressed the detonation button fiercely!
An instant red and yellow smoke rose into the sky, and the shock wave swept across the face, and there was still pain. Just as the audience was about to cheer, an accident happened. The fragments of the whale carcass that were blown up to the sky fell like raindrops on the audience and not far away. On the highway, the bloody smell is accompanied by a stench, just like the smell of seafood in the refrigerator that has been disconnected for half a month in summer.
The onlookers exclaimed for a while, and then one after another retching. Of course, even if the audience suffered a bit of disgusting whale carcass material, the most troublesome thing was the moving car on the highway, not only was shocked by the explosion. , And a large piece of whale carcass fell and smashed several cars.
The reason is very simple. There are two reasons: too much explosives are buried, and there is not a correct understanding of the whale explosion. A large amount of gas has accumulated in the whale body and it is already in a state of being about to explode. The whale explosion occurred at the same time during the explosion, and the two were superimposed. , Making it more powerful than expected, but in the end there was still a large piece of whale carcass that did not blow up, and had to find a bulldozer to dig a hole and bury it again.
"Explosive" George Thornton never mentioned it again, and it was changed to Exploding Whale Memorial Park after 2003.
Whale explosion in Taiwan Province of China: completely unexpected
On January 14, 2004, a sperm whale ran aground off the coast of Taixi Township, Yunlin County, Taiwan Province, China. Professor Wang Jianping of Chenggong University originally planned to transport the whale to the school for anatomical study. However, the school rejected the school's decision. Yingming, because of this decision, Chenggong University escaped.
In order to prevent the decay and smell of the carcasses from affecting beach sightseeing, it was decided to transfer the whale carcasses to the Si Cao Wildlife Reserve in Annan District for further treatment. After the Taoist organization in Yunlin County organized the whales to overtake the whales, the local government organized a flatbed truck, 3 A crane and more than 50 workers loaded the sperm whale on the truck and started the transfer.
In order to reduce the impact on nearby residents, the transfer time was set in the early morning, but when passing near the Xiaobei Night Market on Ximen Road, Tainan City Center, an earth-shattering whale explosion occurred. Although it did not cause casualties, it rotted more than ten tons. The internal organs and blood sprayed out and poured out on the main road. The facades and windows of nearby shops, and the cars parked on the roadside were covered with a layer of whale blood and internal organs that had foul smelling.
The people went out to watch. The road was cleaned until the sun came out in the morning. The only impression left by the people was that it was really stinking. The other was that everyone smiled at the 1.6-meter sperm whale Ding Ding without saying a word. Take pictures as a souvenir.

CELBICON aims at the development new CO2-to-chemicals technologies by conjugating CO2 capture, electrochemical CO2 conversion into intermediates and fermentation of these intermediates into value added chemicals. Each subsystem entered the CELBICON project as a stand-alone technology at a certain technology readiness level. During the CELBICON project these technologies will be further developed and integrated into a single, decentralized, cost-effective and robust technology platform operated at TRL5.
The recycling of the climate gas CO2 as a carbon source is one of the main challenges of the 21st century. The development of novel processes is of key importance to counterbalance the increasing CO2 emissions and climate change . Regenerative platform chemicals can be produced by integrating renewable energy in the operation of strategically important CO2 -neutral processes. Because of the geographical distribution of available regenerative energy and CO2, the development of decentralized processes is of particular interest.
The EU project "Cost-effective CO2 conversion into chemicals via combination of capture, ELectrochemical and BIochemical CONversion technologies – CELBICON" aims at the development of new CO2-to-chemicals technologies by conjugating CO2 capture, electrochemical CO2 conversion into intermediates and fermentation of these intermediates into value-added chemicals. At the beginning of the project, each subsystem existed as a stand-alone technology at a certain technology readiness level (TRL). During the CELBICON project, these technologies are to be further developed and integrated into a technology platform operated at TRL5. Key criteria for the developments are: (a) a modular and decentralized system, (b) high material and energy efficiency, (c) low investment and operating costs and (d) high robustness providing process variability.
The targeted process chain was demonstrated on a laboratory scale. During the last year of this rewarding project, the modules of the CELBICON plant are built and will be integrated into a single demonstration plant.
CO2 will be sourced from air, using a CO2 adsorber provided by the project partner Climeworks, a pioneer of direct air capture technology. The first conversion step involves electrochemical reduction of CO2 to C1 intermediates on the cathode, while wastewater treatment was chosen for the valorization of the anodic current. The C1 intermediates will be converted into higher-value chemicals such as lactic acid, isoprene and long-chain terpenes in an integrated fermentation process. In this way, the microorganisms used are optimized by tailor-made metabolic engineering aimed at efficient formation of the product and to support process performance.
Upon commissioning the demonstrator plant, process validation and optimization will be completed at the end of the project.
The research leading to results in this project receives funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement n°679050.


Teens in Northeast: Opportunities Abound!
With schools nearing the conclusion of another year and students making their summer plans, it's a great time to look at the job market and employment opportunities for teenagers.
Teenagers provide a welcome bump in the available labor force across the state, with Minnesota having the seventh-highest labor force participation rate for teenagers in the country, at 48.5%. Nationally, the teen labor force participation rate is about 33%, according to the most recent data from the Current Population Survey.
With many teenagers looking for their first work experience or a seasonal job that allows them to save some money, they are attracted to certain types of employment. Nearly two-thirds of them find jobs within the Accommodation and Food Services and Retail Trade Industries. Because of turnover, flexible scheduling, and on-the-job training, these industries often provide great entry opportunities into the workforce.
However, if flipping burgers or stocking shelves doesn't entice them, there are many other seasonal activities that are looking for workers. Landscaping, resort staff, and summer-activity counselors are three of many more out that are out there.
The unemployment rate for teenagers (16-19 year-olds) was at 22% in Northeast Minnesota in 2013, which was higher than the other planning regions in the state, except for the Twin Cities metro area. The overall state unemployment rate for teens was at 20% during this time period (2009-2013). That recently dropped to 11% in 2014, one of the lowest teenage unemployment rates in the nation.
When looking at Northeast Minnesota, the spread of teen unemployment rates is quite dramatic. Cook County has a 1% unemployment rate for teens, which is the lowest rate in the state, while Lake, St. Louis, and Aitkin County have teen jobless rates near 25%. A closer investigation finds that in Cook County, there were only 100 teenagers estimated to be in the labor force, with only one being unemployed. St. Louis County had more than 6,200 teens in the labor force, and about 1,500 of them were unemployed.
With low unemployment rates settling over Minnesota and much of the Northeast region, employers will be looking to hire teenagers to fill vacant positions this summer. This trait may have been missing during the recession and its subsequent recovery.
It's a good time for that summer job search and DEED offers services and programs to help teens find work. The agency's MinnesotaWorks.net job bank lists nearly 84,000 jobs, many of them suitable for teenagers. Job opportunities also are available through DEED's youth employment, training and education programs.

Q: Is there a way to print a console message with Flutter? I'm debugging an app, but I need to know some values in the fly, I was wondering if there's a way to print a message in console like console.log using Javascript.
I appreciate the help.

A: print() is probably what you are looking for. Here's some more info on debugging in flutter.

A: Use debug print to avoid logging in production application.
debugPrint("Message");

You can also disable or change debug print implementation in main.dart or any other file like this:
debugPrint = (String message, {int wrapWidth})
{
    debugPrintThrottled(message);//Or another other custom code
};

A: print, debugPrint and others have got some word limit restrictions, if you have something long to print on console, you can:
Create this method:
void printWrapped(String text) {
  final pattern = RegExp('.{1,800}'); // 800 is the size of each chunk
  pattern.allMatches(text).forEach((match) => print(match.group(0)));
}

Usage:
printWrapped("Your very long string ...");

Source

A: One more answer for Concatenate with String:
// Declaration
int number = 10;

//Button Action
RaisedButton(
child: Text("Subtract Me"),
onPressed: () {
      number = number - 1;
      print('You have got $number as result');
      print('Before Value is ${number - 1} and After value is ${number + 1}');
    },
),

//Output:
flutter: You have got 9 as result
flutter: Before Value is 8 and After value is 10

A: You can use
print()

function or
debugPrint()

The debugPrint() function can print large outputs.

A: There are more helpful methods in import 'dart:developer' library and one of them is log().
example:

print() is from dart:core and its implementation:
/// Prints a string representation of the object to the console.
void print(Object object) {
  String line = "$object";
  if (printToZone == null) {
    printToConsole(line);
  } else {
    printToZone(line);
  }
}

debugPrint():
/// Prints a message to the console, which you can access using the "flutter"
/// tool's "logs" command ("flutter logs").
///
/// If a wrapWidth is provided, each line of the message is word-wrapped to that
/// width. (Lines may be separated by newline characters, as in '\n'.)
///
/// By default, this function very crudely attempts to throttle the rate at
/// which messages are sent to avoid data loss on Android. This means that
/// interleaving calls to this function (directly or indirectly via, e.g.,
/// [debugDumpRenderTree] or [debugDumpApp]) and to the Dart [print] method can
/// result in out-of-order messages in the logs

DebugPrintCallback debugPrint = debugPrintThrottled;

/// Alternative implementation of [debugPrint] that does not throttle.

debugPrintSynchronously(String message, { int wrapWidth })

/// Implementation of [debugPrint] that throttles messages. This avoids dropping
/// messages on platforms that rate-limit their logging (for example, Android).
void debugPrintThrottled(String message, { int wrapWidth })

Note that only the print() is taking any type and print to the console. debugPrint() and log() only take String. So, you have to add .toString() or use string interpolation like I shown in provided example snippet.

A: debugPrint()

Might as well use rather than print() as it attempts to reduce log line drop or being out of order on Android kernel

A: I tend to do something similar to this
Foo foo;
try{
    foo = _someMethod(); //some method that returns a new object
} catch (e) {
    print('_someMethod: Foo Error ${foo.id} Error:{e.toString()}'); /*my custom error print message. You don't need brackets if you are printing a string variable.*/
}

A: I think this might help you, because, I was also got stuck in many ways of knowing the output of my code in the dart file, hence I got the solution by following the steps, shown in the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhP1tE-IHos
here I have shown an instance of how it works after following the video.
check the left side column where it shows about the value which profile variable carry i.e., null

A: I use something like this. The print() function can print data up to some limit. So I use this log.
    import 'dart:developer';

    debugLog({String tag = '', required dynamic value}) {
      log("TAG $tag : ${value.toString()}");
    }

A: you can simply use print('whatever you want to print') same as console.log() in javascript.
for more info you can check here.

A: Note that the print() and log() options both add their own labels at the start of the line, and apply additional formatting that can cause long lines to be truncated. In the case of a dart:io app, you can bypass this interception and mangling entirely by going directly to stdout/stderr, etc. as in stdout.write(), stdout.writeln(), etc. Likewise if you are looking to log explicitly to one or the other. I ran into this issue when adding CLI args to a flutter application.

Thai Beverage has spooked Heineken by paying $3 bln for a piece of the Dutch brewer's Singaporean partner. It is paying a hefty premium and racking up big debts for less than a fifth of the target. It needs more to make the finances stack up. That will be a tall order.
Thai Beverage said on July 18 that it has agreed to pay $2.2 billion to buy a 22 percent stake in conglomerate Fraser and Neave (F&N) from Oversea-Chinese Banking Corp. (OCBC), its insurance unit Great Eastern Holdings, and Lee Rubber Co.
Thai Beverage is controlled by Thai billionaire Charoen Sirivadhanabhakdi.
Moody's has placed Thai Beverage under review for a downgrade, according to a statement released by the ratings agency on July 19. The review was prompted by the announcement that Thai Beverage had submitted a binding offer for a 22 percent stake in F&N, said Moody's vice president and senior analyst Annalisa Di Chiara in the statement. Thai Beverage's current rating is Baa2.

Mad Men Style Recap, Episode 7: Peggy's Failed Proposal Dress, Balenciaga-Inspired Shopping Outfits

Steff Yotka
On last night's episode of Mad Men Megan's parents arrived from Montreal to speak French, judge Don, and question Megan's life choices...I mean, see Don receive an award from the American Cancer Society. Don's confidence was shattered when he learned that the ACS members wouldn't do business with him because of his turn on Lucky Strike. And Sally was deeply affected by a certain something that took place between Mrs. Calvet and Roger in the ladies room...
Click through to see the fashions and the dramas from episode 7!
Mona The episode opened with Roger and Mona talking about Roger's divorce and how Mona can help him gain clients at the ACS event. Mona wore a sparkly black dress and diamanté earrings that were two different lengths. I don't remember her being such a snazzy dresser in the past, but maybe she's really spiced it up since leaving Roger. If there was a Real Housewives franchise in 1966, I get the feeling that Mona would be the star.
Don Don's wardrobe in this episode was a bit goofy. Whereas he's usually dapper and minimal, his striped pyjamas and clashing striped tie make him seem softer around the edges than ever before. Even though tough-guy Don can be a terrible person, there's something very disconcerting about seeing him so warm and happy all of a sudden. I guess I'm just waiting for him to snap back into his old ways.
Ginsberg & Stan At the office Ginsberg and Stan have gotten into a sartorial rhythm. Ginsberg is all about the printed button down, this time paired with a cardigan, and Stan is in a red, long-sleeved version of his favorite knit polo shirt.
Peggy Peggy is easily the most fashionably confused character on Mad Men. In the office she wears a plaid jumper is that's kind of cute, but looks dowdy paired with a blue button down. Peggy has a wardrobe crisis when she thinks Abe is proposing to her, and as per Joan's advice goes and buys a new dress. She ends up in a hot pink, empire-waisted mini-dress with rose-hued pearls and a perfect flip hair-do. Peggy looks sweet, and might even be channeling a Joan-look in a bright color and sexier dress. The difference between Peggy and Joan is that Peggy is not the marrying type, and she looks a bit dumbfounded when Abe says "move-in" instead of "marry me."
Peggy Stepping into a more domestic role, Peggy dons a full-skirted, blue and green printed dress to cook dinner for her mother and Abe. Obviously, Mother Olson isn't going to take the moving-in-before-marriage news sitting down--she leaves dinner at the mention of it. I'm guessing Peggy's ham wasn't so good either.
Joan & Peggy Peggy gets into the office to tell Joan that she's been moved in with and not married. Joan is happy for her, which just made me feel sadder about Joan's reality. She was still wearing her wedding ring and didn't referred to Greg as through they were still together. Maybe she hasn't told the SCDP employees about her failed marriage? At least she looks beautiful as always, in an electric blue slim fitting dress
Megan Megan in the office consists of exclusively turtlenecks in this episode. First she wears a navy one with a striped blanket skirt to present her genius Heinz idea to Don, and for her congratulatory celebration she wears a pink dress that looks like a turtleneck and a jumper. Her muted colors and more conservative style this episode in the office shows that Megan wants to be taken more seriously, but even when she is, she's not totally pleased. When Peggy tells Megan that, "This is as good as this job gets," in regards to making the Heinz clients happy, Megan looks more miserable than happy. I have a hunch that Megan will leave SCDP by the season's end, which will lead to some drama at the Draper household.
Megan & Don At the Heinz dinner Megan wears a kooky chartreuse dress with intensely winged eyeliner. She's saves the account by swooping in and setting up Don with the pitch, after the client's wife alerts her that the deal is over in the bathroom. It's good to see Megan on her toes and in action after she was the victim in last week's episode.
Marie, Megan, & Sally A fancy event always calls for some shopping, and Marie, Megan's mother, Megan, and Sally put on their craziest outfits to hit the shops. Megan's look is clearly the inspiration for Balenciaga AW06, and Marie's hat is better than any fascinator I could imagine.
Marie & Roger You knew this was going to end badly, didn't you?
Sally Of course, Sally's new look for the ACS event is way too grown up for Don, and causes a bit of a stir when Don's tells her to tone it down and Mr. Calvet makes a remark about girls spreading their legs and growing up... you know, in reagards to his own daughter shacking up with Don himself. It was awkward.
Emile, Marie, Megan, Don, and Sally Everybody's got problems by the end of the episode. Emile is angry that Megan isn't reaching her full potential by relying on Don, and also that she's definitely not a Marxist. Marie is cheating on her husband (by giving Roger a blow job in the very public ladies room) to get back at him for calling a grad student when his book deal fell through. This traumatizes Sally when she walks in, leading to her puzzled expression. Megan is blue about her job; same for Don, who fears that his daring act against Lucky Strike will lose him clients in the future.

Инвестиционный фонд — учреждение, осуществляющее коллективные инвестиции. Суть его в аккумулировании сбережений частных и юридических лиц для совместного (в том числе и портфельного) инвестирования через покупку ценных бумаг, а не реальных производственных активов. За счёт того, что приобретение ценных бумаг осуществляет профессиональный участник рынка, риски частных инвесторов минимизируются .

Вместе с таким инструментом как банковские депозиты вложения в ИСИ являются наиболее популярными инструментами сохранения и приумножения сбережений частных лиц.

История
Первый инвестиционный фонд в мире был создан в августе 1822 года в Бельгии. Инвестиционные фонды начинают быстро развиваться только после Второй мировой войны, постепенно создавая конкуренцию банкам и другим финансовым институтам. Наибольшего распространения инвестиционные фонды приобрели в Великобритании и США. На сегодняшний день более половины американских домохозяйств являются вкладчиками того или иного инвестиционного фонда.

По состоянию на 2008 год инвестиционная компания Fidelity Investments была самым крупным акционером в 10% американских корпораций.
В настоящее время (на 2016-2017 год) выделяется «Большая тройка» американских инвестиционных компаний (Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street Corporation), которые вместе имеют крупнейшие пакеты акций в 40% от всех публичных американских компаний, и в 88% компаний составляющих S&P 500 (500 компаний с наибольшей капитализацией). В результате акции крупнейших американских компаний оказались сосредоточены в руках небольшого количества людей. Представители "большой тройки" декларируют, что они хотят быть активными акционерами и вмешиваться в управление компаниями. Концентрация собственности в настоящее время, вероятно, превосходит ту, которая наблюдалась в эпоху «баронов-разбойников».

Перекрестное владение институциональными инвесторами акциями компаний в одной отрасли снижает конкуренцию между этими компаниями и коррелирует с неоправданным повышением цен для потребителей.. В США рост доли институциональных инвесторов коррелирует с ростом экономического неравенства.

Типы инвестиционных фондов
 Паевой инвестиционный фонд — форма совместного инвестирования.
 Инвестиционный фонд России — государственный фонд для софинансирования инвестиционных проектов.
 Взаимный фонд — форма совместного инвестирования.
 Хеджевый фонд — частный, не ограниченный нормативным регулированием инвестиционный фонд, недоступный широкому кругу лиц и управляемый профессиональным инвестиционным управляющим.
 Торгуемый на бирже фонд (Exchange Traded Fund (ETF)) — открытый индексный фонд, акции которого торгуются на бирже.
 Чековый инвестиционный фонд — специализированный фонд, создаваемый в России периода ваучерной приватизации начала 1990-х, с целью оказания помощи населению в инвестировании приватизационных чеков (ваучеров) и обеспечения профессионального управления активами данного фонда.
 Инвестиционный фонд недвижимости — фонд для совместного инвестирования в недвижимость.

Функции инвестиционных фондов
Инвестиционные фонды выполняют следующие функции:
 аккумуляция сбережений индивидуальных инвесторов;
 более эффективное управление инвестиционными ресурсами, которое не могут обеспечить индивидуальные инвесторы по причине отсутствия необходимых профессиональных навыков и опыта;
 диверсификация рисков с помощью вложения средств индивидуальных инвесторов в различные инструменты финансового рынка;
 снижение затрат на проведение операций на рынке ценных бумаг.

Институт совместного инвестирования
Институт совместного инвестирования (ИСИ) — термин, обозначающий в украинском законодательстве инвестиционный фонд, осуществляющий деятельность по совместному инвестированию — объединению (привлечению) денежных средств инвесторов с целью получения прибыли от их вложений в ценные бумаги других эмитентов, корпоративные права и недвижимость.

Активы институтов совместного инвестирования управляются компанией по управлению активами (КУА).

Существует несколько типов Институтов совместного инвестирования, которые определяются по способам и правилам ведения инвестиционной деятельности:

 открытого типа;
 интервального типа;
 закрытого типа.

ИСИ открытого типа характеризуется взятыми управляющей компанией обязательствами по выкупу собственных ценных бумаг по заявке инвестора. Данное требование от инвестора может поступить в любое время. Выкуп производится по обусловленному сроку эмиссии, не менее раза в год.
ИСИ закрытого типа не возлагает на себя обязанности по выкупу эмитированных компанией ценных бумаг.

In Kathleen Alcott's Natural Light, a woman must reevaluate how she views her mother years after passing away. She unexpectedly comes across a lewd photograph of her in a museum in New York City. It shatters the "image" that she had formed of her mother over the years.
The woman narrates the story via a stream of consciousness. It's difficult to follow her thought process at first, but gets easier as the story progresses. She has strong and insightful opinions and focuses on the motives and desires of the people around her.
The Photograph
After seeing the photo and trying to come to terms with it, the woman thinks of calling her ex-husband. She rejects that idea – as they ended their relationship poorly – and instead calls her father. When she describes the photograph to him, he brushes it off and says it must be of somebody else. The woman thinks back on her parents' relationship and how normal it was:
Passing their room in the middle of the night once, I heard my father say, it must have been in his sleep, It's the damn compressor, and my mother reply, without missing a beat, You bet your ass it is.
How could her mother – who was clearly a stereotypical mom – have taken part in such a lewd photograph? It doesn't fit into the personality or image that she had created of her mother.
The Narrator
The story gets placed on the back-burner as Alcott builds out the narrator's character. She is a professor, divorced, who is very critical of life.
There was always one student who hated me. This was a problem I could solve more easily with young men, pretending to lessen my authority while I sharpened my argument. But with girls it was never clear, for their hatred was much more original, multifaceted, and they clung to it even while enjoying whichever dialectic I'd introduced to distract them. They could entertain my line of reasoning while deriding the person beneath it.
Her marriage had gone bad for a number of reasons that she chalks up to differences in their personalities.
To this day I cannot look at a man who is looking at a map, for it recalls him so totally, how happy he believed in things reduced to their signifiers. At first he delighted in my missing sense of direction, asking me with wide eyes where I thought I might be going, but in the end it infuriated him…
But what pushed them over the edge, she believes, was her suicidal thoughts. Once she confided these thoughts to her husband a year after her mother's death, she didn't receive the support she was looking for.
Thought he was warm and soft when I first confided, the separative effect I had wished for, some congratulations I might receive for naming the thing that haunted me, did not take shape. Instead, my husband began looking for cohesion, seeing any dip in my feeling as proof of the roots the thoughts had taken in me.
Back to the photograph
The woman goes to see the photographer who took the lewd image. The artist describes the narrator's mother, which only breaks apart the image of her even more.
The photographer watched me figuring out why this mattered. It was clear she had a way of encouraging a person's natural state, even becoming a part of it, by goading on any reaction, turning the room to its expression.
She sends the photo to her father. He doesn't respond. She sends follow up messages, but they show up as not delivered.
I had never known my father to turn his phone off, and in fact would have imagined he did not know how. He spent most of his truant feeling on it, revisiting the photos of cracks in the wall to be caulked, tapping at the weather icons of cities he'd visited once a long time ago.
Awhile later, he finally responds saying that he never expected this photograph to come back up.
I had the sense, for the first time in my life, of what my father was like alone, fearful because he was brittle, unhappy because he was fearful, determined because he was unhappy.
He tells his daughter that he met her mother while they were both recovering alcoholics. He says she "still had some New York on her." The daughter struggles to cope with this different perspective of her parents' lives. They had kept it hidden from her for so long, and now she has to come to terms with it.
I wanted to believe that another conversation was happening inside the one I could hear, that maybe, in allowing my mother her life, protecting it from my revisionist inquiries, he was reminding me of the rights I had, the questions about who I was or how I suffered for which there were no categorical answers.
Although we tend to place people in categories – this person is this or that person is that – Alcott argues that we shouldn't boil an individual's personality down to a set of features. We are complex human beings that can change throughout our lifetimes.
We tend to look at people, especially those closest to us, as having a set number of characteristics. We shouldn't. We should allow people the freedom to have stories and personalities outside of what they are to us. This doesn't make them fake or untrue to themselves; it allows them to grow and explore the world around them, free from the judgement of others.
Alcott's focus on characters – their motives, backstories, and desires – makes the text more of a rumination on an idea rather than a stereotypical "story." How would you react if you came across something that makes you reevaluate what you think of those closest to you?

Panellists
The Report has been finalised in the two weeks following the roundtable events and in the run up to COP26.
The Global Youth Climate Inquiry Report
The Global Youth Climate Inquiry Report is the product of a robust and inquisitorial evidence taking process. It does not seek to add spin or opinion to the voices of the contributors. Instead, it acts as a guide, combining ideas and initiatives into one reference manual in the expectation that world leaders can and must find better ways to work together to reach net zero targets.
The Report will be officially launched and presented to delegates during COP26 with the intention of driving engagement with its findings and spurring further action through the extensive network created by the Inquiry's young leaders, panellists and partner organisations.
Call for Evidence
Table of Initiatives
The Inquiry's partner organisations are committed to taking action to facilitate these conversations and to bring the findings of the Inquiry to the attention of global leaders and decision-makers.

Here is some information on the our local area, including the wildlife and walks you may find enjoyable.
Grafton Wood
Grafton Wood is the largest of the remnants of Feckenham Forest. It is a nature reserve jointly owned by Worcestershire Wildlife Trust and Butterfly Conservation with SSSI status. It comprises approximately 150 acres of hazel and ash coppice with oak standards. The wood was previously owned by the Croome Estate who, apart from planting two small plots of conifers and leasing the shooting rights, undertook very little management work. Coppice management has now been reintroduced in the centre of the wood and the rides have been opened up to allow more light to reach woodland floor. This will encourage a better flora and therefore more invertebrates. The management work is done partly by professionals financed from grants and also a good deal of volunteer work from members of the two organisations. Since its purchase in 1997, the wildlife has improved considerably. Surveys of the birdlife, butterfly populations, flora and small mammals are carried out by volunteers year to monitor the effects of management.
Woodland is a very important habitat for Britain's butterflies with the best woods in southern England supporting upwards of 30 species. Historically, some of the richest woods for butterflies and moths were those where regular woodland management meant that trees were cut on rotation, creating areas open to the sun where wild flowers and shrubs, many of which were used for nectaring and egg-laying, could flourish. This form of woodland management known as coppicing has mainly died out and most of our woods have become dark and shady places, largely unsuitable for insects and also plants which require open sunny areas in which to thrive. In parts of Grafton Wood, the old system of rotational coppicing is being reintroduced and some rides and tracks are being gradually widened to benefit insects requiring open and sunny conditions. Butterflies are the most obvious beneficiaries of this work.
There are more than 1800 different invertebrate species in Britain and Ireland which are dependent on decaying wood in order to complete their life cycles. This represents about 6% of the entire British invertebrate fauna - decaying wood is a major resource! This means more than 1800 different lifestyles , since each species has very particular requirements. These statistics really bring home just how diverse a habitat decaying wood can be. Very few invertebrates possess the necessary gut enzymes to break down the principal components of wood - cellulose and lignin. Most rely on fungi and/or micro-organisms to convert these compounds into more digestible materials. Conservation of decaying wood communities requires the protection of a diverse age structure of woody plants in order to ensure continuity of habitats.
Woodland Management
A lot of the work done in Grafton Wood is undertaken by volunteers. This work includes coppicing, ride widening and maintenance. The volunteers meet on the second Sunday of each month from October through to March. All helpers are welcome.
The Grafton Rings are a number of circular walks starting and finishing at the Three Parishes Hall. View PDF

President Trump has proven to be a lightning rod the likes of which the world has never seen. He has consolidated the nation's political conversation in a way even former President Barack Obama could not. He makes a fight about abortion look like bickering over the NFC East. And now he's coming for your Thanksgiving table.
First, a little backstory. Several years ago, I was interested in what people argued about on Thanksgiving. As part of a broader SurveyMonkey Audience poll, I asked people which hot-button issues were likely to provoke an argument at their holiday tables.1 Nothing ever came of the question; people mostly bypassed options like health care, gay marriage and immigration to choose "other" as by far the most common response, distantly followed by President Obama. This isn't all that uncommon: You have to ask a lot of boring questions before you stumble upon one that's actually interesting.
I decided to revisit that poll just over one year after Trump's election and 10 months into what has proven to be a polarizing first term in office. We asked a second SurveyMonkey panel the same question,2 only we swapped out "President Obama" with "President Trump." This one ran from Nov. 15-16, 2017, and 948 people who were attending Thanksgiving with their family answered the question.
Which issue is most likely to start a Thanksgiving argument?
In 2014, 11 percent of Americans indicated that Obama was most likely to spur an argument. In 2017, that figure was 37 percent for Trump.
The expectation that Trump would be the subject most likely to hijack Thanksgiving transcended party lines: We asked respondents if they considered themselves Republicans, Democrats or independents, and regardless of party affiliation, the most common answer in each group was still Trump.3 Just over half of self-identified Democrats — 169 out of 319 respondents — said talking about Trump was most likely to start an argument, compared to 34 percent of independents and 20 percent of Republicans.
What's most interesting to me is precisely what happened to the "other" category this year. People who chose "other" were asked to write in a more specific reason for their Thanksgiving arguments, and we sorted those responses into three broad categories: one, respondents who did not offer any detail or said they don't argue (I'm calling that "not applicable"); two, people who wrote in a political issue or politician; and three, people who listed something apolitical, maybe a family member or the turkey or the Washington Football Team or a personal grievance or any of the myriad other things people don't agree on outside of the political realm.
Turns out we don't have as many non-political differences as we used to.
In 2014, 40 percent of all respondents selected "other" and wrote in a non-political issue. In 2017, only 8 percent did that. What on earth happened to that 32 percent of respondents? Well, 10 percent of the overall sample shifted to the "not applicable" category — make of that what you will — but around a quarter of all respondents seem to have shifted from the non-political bucket to the presidential bucket.
There are many ways to read that. Here's mine: There used to be lots of apolitical things about which people could disagree. And there still are, but something about 2016 nationalized those distinctions, making them into cultural signifiers and in some cases weaponizing them politically. Blame it on whoever or whatever you want — blame identity politics or blame Trump, you made your choice long before clicking on this piece. Arguments that used to be about a job or a profession or football or college sports or television or the food or even the booze are now inextricably connected to presidential politics. And so we're still fighting about "other," we're just doing it under the banner of Trump.
Again, that's just a theory, but here's a rule of thumb: Don't mention the president for any reason whatsoever on Thanksgiving. Regardless of their personal politics, two out of five of the people sitting with you think the subject will start a fight and are already dreading hearing his name.
The survey ran Nov. 21 and 22, 2014, and 860 people who were attending Thanksgiving with their family answered the question.
"Budget deficit" was one of the options in 2014 but was not included as a potential response this year.
After splitting up the "other" category into political, non-political or N/A responses, as described below.

READERS REVEAL: Can you get by in Norway with just English?
It's very common to hear English spoken all over Norway. The Local's readers shared their thoughts on whether you'll be able to get by without learning Norwegian.
Updated: 11 December 2022 07:52 CET
Can you get by in Norway without Norwegian? Pictured is Oslo opera house. Photo by Gunnar Ridderström on Unsplash
Norway has recently been ranked among the best countries in the world for English language skills. In addition, many international firms have Oslo offices where the official working language is English.
Wherever you find yourself in Norway, you are unlikely to be far from a proficient English speaker, even in more rural areas.
This may lead to some assuming that they'll be able to get by in Norway without learning Norwegian.
We asked our readers whether this was the case.
'Everybody speaks English in Oslo'
Most of those who responded to our survey said it would be possible to get by in the country without learning Norwegian.
"Yes, you can get by, but speaking some Norwegian is often appreciated," Arjen, living in Jessheim, said, responding to our survey.
"Yes, absolutely. Everybody speaks English in Oslo, where I was an Erasmus exchange student," Bence Szabo responded.
In addition, they also added that it would be possible to find work with English as the primary working language.
"If you are working for a multinational abroad and have skills and experience to create value in Norway, you can certainly make a transfer to Norway work. However, I think it is expected that you learn Norwegian at some point," one foreign resident who didn't leave a name wrote.
However, you will be more limited in the type of work you are likely to be offered.
"Yes and no, depending on skills. (It is) very easy to find IT jobs, but as an electrical engineer, I faced many rejections because I don't speak the language," Maz Khan in Oslo wrote.
"No. Most of the jobs require a well-spoken Norwegian. Only hard labour workspaces don't care about the language, but they don't pay well," Dora Szabolcsi in Hønefoss said.
Meanwhile, others pointed out that getting a job in tech was feasible while working in a Norwegian organisation would be off-limits without language skills.
'You can feel like you don't belong to society'
Many of those who said that you could get by in Norway with just English were quick to add the caveats that living in the country without learning the language was a short-term solution or that you'd feel left out of society.
"Yes, you can, but you still feel like you don't belong to society," Maz Khan wrote.
"You can get by in daily life but struggle with the 'big' topics. Norwegians don't like to have serious conversations, argue or deliver bad news in English, so you are at a big disadvantage in many situations where it's important to understand 100% of what's going on," one foreigner in Akser responded.
Sazi Luke in Fjellstrand said that learning the language would be essential for making friends and progressing your career.
"(You can get by) in the beginning only. To make friends, build work relationships and be competitive in the job market, it is beneficial to learn the language," they wrote.
Veronica Jaramillo Jimenez in Tønsberg said that ten years in the country without mastering led to feeling like an outsider.
"Yes, you can manage, I have done so for ten years. However, it is really not ideal if you want to be included in everyday life; moreover, you are always seen as an outsider if you do not master the language, which is why my goal within the next 12 months is to become fluent in Norwegian," she wrote.

Completely agree that you will not feel fully a part of society; it can also feel quite awkward having to keep reminding people you are not fluent, or the side conversations that happen in the office, for example. More importantly, if you have kids, they will speak Norwegian for the first years and so it becomes essential….also a good way to learn is from them!

Bergensk: A beginner's guide to the Bergen dialect
So, you've armed yourself with Norwegian language courses and have acquired some proficiency in Norwegian – but now you're heading to Bergen. Prepare to have your linguistic confidence shattered.
Published: 24 January 2023 09:31 CET
Most people who want to move to Norway spend some time trying to learn the language. Or they move and take steps to learn the language to feel more settled in.
They take Norwegian language courses, watch educational YouTube videos, download Duolingo, join groups of like-minded people, and – eventually – they succeed in reaching at least a rudimentary mastery of the language.
Armed with your newly-acquired language skills, you might think you're now ready to impress the locals in most Norwegian cities with your linguistic prowess.
You've heard nice things about Bergen, Norway's second-largest city. It has amazing nature, it's an international student hub, and there's a lot of history and culture to enjoy in the city. It's not only a great place to live, work and study but also to live.
READ MORE: Six things foreigners should expect if they live in Bergen
Now you're thinking you might just move to (or visit) Bergen and hit the ground running (that is, swiftly expand your social circle, get job interviews, and use your Norwegian language skills to sort out the day-to-day aspects of city life).
Nice plan you have there… Would be a shame if something got in the way.
The Bergen dialect – Bergensk
To start off with a quote from American filmmaker Woody Allen, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans."
If you've decided to make Bergen your home (at least for a while), you'll be in for quite a surprise, especially if you're moving to or visiting Bergen from eastern Norway.
Note that, in a number of foreign language schools (even those in Bergen), the Norwegian language taught is very close to the eastern, Oslo dialect.
There are stories of people investing more than 40,000 kroner in Norwegian language courses, reaching B1/B2, and then having trouble understanding basic conversation among Bergen locals after moving to the city.
There's no need to feel depressed. Even Norwegians from other parts of the country can sometimes have problems understanding Bergensk. So don't be too hard on yourself.
Don't expect the locals to switch to another dialect, however – they're quite proud of the Bergen one. Therefore, you should take the time to upgrade your Norwegian language skills accordingly.
What makes Bergensk different?
One of the key obstacles that can prevent you from making a smooth transition between the Oslo and the Bergen dialect is pronunciation.
The Bergen dialect is more similar to Nynorsk (one of the two written standards of the Norwegian language, along with Bokmål) in pronunciation.
As online language school Skapago points out, the dialect stands out due to the pronunciation of "r" and the kj-sound. As most grammar guides will let you know, in the Bergensk dialect, the "r" is pronounced as a uvular "r," not with the rolling pronunciation you'll find in eastern and northern Norway.
Furthermore, since only dialects with a rolling r-sound can have retroflex sounds (which entails "rd," "rl," "rn," "rs," and "rt" merging into one sound) the Bergensk dialect does not have any of those sounds.
Instead, Skapago notes, these letter combinations are pronounced separately, as well as the combination of "sl," which is usually pronounced "sh+l" in Oslo. Elsewhere, it is pronounced "s+l".
Another interesting aspect of the Bergensk dialect is the pronunciation of the kj-sound. Usually, in Norwegian, this combination of letters has a distinct pronunciation. However, in Bergensk, the sound has merged with the sounds "sj" or "skj," and is pronounced "sh" in all instances.
The words "kjøtt" (meat) and "kjøpe" (buy) and "ikkje" (not/does not – the Bergensk and Nynorsk form of "ikke") are pronounced "shøtt," "shøpe," and "ishe." This pronunciation is becoming more common across the country and growing in popularity among young Norwegians.
Furthermore, the Bergen dialect is one of two dialects in Norway with only two grammatical genders – other dialects in the country have three grammatical genders.
You should expect the transition to Bergensk to take a couple of months and might even want to consider a local language course "booster" (especially one that focuses on the dialect) to make the entire process as painless as possible.
You can find a short primer on Bergen dialect slang, compiled by the Bergen Municipality, here (in Norwegian).
Some common expressions
Study Bergen, an organisation aiming to promote Bergen as a student city, has put together a list of common expressions in Bergensk that you'll likely hear around town after relocating.
Here are a few of the expressions they shared:
Ke det gåri (in Bokmål: "Hva skjer?"): What's up?
Den e' brun (in Bokmål: "Den er grei"): That's fine.
Knall i padden (in Bokmål: "Kjempebra"/"kult"/"veldig gøy"): It's super fun!
Belite seg (in Bokmål: "Gi seg"): Give up or admit that you were wrong.
Hallaien (in Bokmål: "Hallo"/"hei"): Hello!

Seven steps: How to reduce your climate impact as an international resident


Suspiros is Spanish for sighs, and these biscuits are named, apparently, after the contented sounds nuns made when making these delicate treats. There are several versions of these biscuits; some are more like shortbread and others, such as these, like meringue. We've added a touch of chocolate and one of Spain's most loved spices – cinnamon.
Preheat oven to 120°C. Whisk eggwhites and a pinch of salt in an electric mixer until soft peaks form (4-5 minutes), add caster sugar in a thin steady stream, whisking continuously until stiff and glossy, then whisk in vanilla seeds and cinnamon. Fold in icing sugar, then chocolate and spoon mixture into 5cm-diameter mounds on baking trays lined with baking paper. Bake until dry and lightly coloured (2-3 hours). Turn off oven, cool in oven for 1 hour, then transfer to a wire rack, dust with cocoa and serve. Suspiros will keep, stored in an airtight container, for about a week.

Q: Data before &(ampersand) truncated while parsing XML using SAX Parser I am using SAX Parser to parse XML. In one of the XML tags, I have data like abc&def. While parsing the XML, I am replacing & with &. But while parsing, all data before & is truncated. & and everything after that is retained in the truncated data. So abc&def will be converted to &def after parsing. Can someone please tell me a reason why is this happening???
Also, suggestions to overcome this will be highly appreciated.

A: The definition of the SAX interface, especially the ContentHandler.characters() method, says the parser is free to split the data into chunks any way it likes. This is for efficiency; it means it doesn't have to copy the data out of the I/O buffer before notifying it to the application. Parsers can choose where to split the data, but it's very common for parsers to split the text at entity boundaries. Your application is responsible for reassembling it: very often your characters() method should copy the data to a StringBuilder, and then you should process the assembled content when you get to the next start or end tag.

A: Maybe this is too late, but one workaround is to replace in the XML file all the ampersands symbols with a pipe symbol (or any other symbol you prefer)
Then, when parsing the xml file using SAX Parser add this line in the characters function:
content = content.replace("|", "&");

So it would look like this:
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) throws SAXException {
        content = String.copyValueOf(ch, start, length).trim();
        content = content.replace("|", "&");
}

This way you won't lose any data, and you'll have all the ampersand symbols you want.

Uber Driver Arrested for DUI
By Law Offices of Virginia L. Landry, Inc.
LOS ANGELES – Since ride-sharing services, such as Uber and Lyft were introduced to LA and Orange counties, they have been welcomed with open arms by residents who celebrated this affordable alternative over calling a cab.
If you're reading this, you've probably patronized one of these companies yourself on at least one occasion as most of us have after a night of drinking.
On New Year's Eve, Uber and Lyft drivers stepped up their game. It was perhaps the biggest drinking night of the year so the drivers and their passengers, were eager to get the New Year's celebrations started.
That's exactly what A. Mendez, 19, was doing on Jan. 1 around 1 a.m. She called Uber so she could enjoy a safe night out with friends without having to worry about driving on that crazy evening.
After all, that's why we call Uber and Lyft, so we can stay safe and reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roads. Unfortunately, when Miss Mendez called Uber that night, she didn't get what she bargained for.
Mendez told CBS Los Angeles that she is really mad because she could have died.
When the Uber driver picked her up, Mendez said that she was immediately uncomfortable with the way he was speeding on local streets.
Concerned, Mendez looked over the driver's shoulder to see how fast he was going. He was driving 80, and that's when she told him to slow down, but he didn't listen.
The next thing she knew, as the Uber driver made a turn from Blanchard Street, he slammed into another car. The car rolled over and Mendez was screaming.
Good Samaritans came to her rescue and pulled her from the mangled vehicle.
LA Uber Driver Fails Field Sobriety Test
When Mendez' aunt heard that the California Highway Patrol administered a field sobriety test on the Uber driver, she was shocked.
When the CHP arrived, they had the Uber driver do a test where he had to walk in a straight line, but he failed, according to Mendez' aunt. So, he did a breathalyzer. Once he did the breathalyzer, that's when the officers cuffed him.
The officer said that the Uber driver was drunk and they were taking him into custody.
According to the CHP, the Uber driver, J. Pablo Garcia, 22, was speeding and later arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol.
Mendez was just trying to be safe. She called Uber because she was trying to do the right thing, her aunt said.
In a statement sent to CBS Los Angeles by Uber, the company said that it had a zero-tolerance policy for alcohol and drugs.
Uber said that it permanently barred Garcia from using the platform and they are grateful that no one was seriously injured in the crash.

Sometimes in property settlements the issue will arise that one party is likely to receive a future inheritance.
Should that make a difference to the property settlement?
The first thing to say is that it does not affect the pool of assets to be divided between the parties i.e. the prospect of a future inheritance is not property.
The next issue is does the possibility of a future inheritance impact on the percentage division of the property?
This issue was considered by the Full Court of the Family Court in the 1995 case of White and Tulloch v White.
In this case the husband served a subpoena seeking the wife's mother to produce her current will, past wills and documents relating to her financial circumstances. The wife and her mother sought that the subpoena be set aside.
The primary emphasis in property proceedings is on the property of the parties.
An expectancy of inheritance won't be relevant in many property cases but it could be relevant in some cases. This will depend on the facts of the case.
In 1999 the Full Court of the Family Court decided the case of De Angelis & De Angelis.
In this case the wife had an expectation of inheriting both her mother's property and her aunt's property.
In her will the wife's 83 year old mother left her estate to the wife. The evidence was that it was unlikely that the will would be changed.
In her will the wife's aunt (about 90 years old) left her estate to the wife. She lacked the capacity to change her will.
The Court made an adjustment of 10% in the husband's favour on account of the wife's anticipated inheritances from her mother and aunt.
In most cases a future inheritance won't be relevant to the division of property. In some cases, however, it will be a factor to take into account in the division.

The acclaimed author of the Irene Kelly mystery series (Goodnight, Irene, etc.) and the Edgar award-winning novel Bones delivers this superb collection of short stories, hitherto available only in a limited trade edition from A.S.A.P. Publishing. These early works, which appeared in publications like Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine and Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, display an impressive range of styles, voices and settings. Burke offers ghost stories ("Ghost of a Chance"), romantic suspense ("The Muse"), a whodunit ("A Fine Set of Teeth"), a tale of revenge ("Miscalculation") and a humorous intrigue ("The Man in the Civil Suit"), and the voices she adopts are as disparate as an abused wife and an aristocratic gentleman (and, at one point, even a non-human narrator). It would be a challenge for readers to choose their favorite, as all the stories are carefully crafted gems: "Mea Culpa" follows a crippled boy as he deduces what his stepfather has in store for his mother; "Miscalculation," which is based on the wartime service of the Queen Mary ocean liner, effectively transmutes history into mystery; and "Unharmed" tells a surprising tale of domestic strife. Several of the stories won or were nominated for awards, and virtually all of them repay the reader handsomely.
