Current events 9 June, 14:37 In a new study, scientists have tried to find out how large sharks in the Bahamas and Miami behave during storms and hurricanes. The researchers analyzed acoustic tag data from tiger sharks, bull sharks, nurse sharks, and great hammerheads before and during Hurricanes Matthew and Irma. Tiger shark. © It turned out that bull sharks, great hammerhead, and nurse sharks were not eager to face a hurricane, so they quickly evacuated inshore shallow waters in the wake of a storm. As for the tiger sharks, they showed much more composure and stayed in shallow inshore waters, even when the eye of Hurricane Matthew was right above them. As soon as the hurricane passed, the number of tiger sharks doubled. Researcher Neil Hammerschlag suspects tiger sharks are probably taking advantage of all the new scavenging opportunities from dead and injured animals and fish, so they pretty much love hurricanes.

A distinctive feature is the 'five-foot way' veranda linking the shophouses. Named after its initial compulsory five-foot minimum width, it was an arcade allowing pedestrians to transit quickly regardless of weather conditions. (Alexander 2006) Known as Kaki Lima, this open walkway design remains significant to modern Penang as demonstrated by the tight knit community. Encountered personally, we found that residents knew each other very well and were familiar with each other's everyday schedules. Tiles of shophouses and the 'five-foot way' (Minor Sights 2015) This kind of architecture is contrary to other locations where needs vary. Hong Kong has the highest population and employment density in the world and citizens are centralised in urban areas, catalysing the city to grow up rather than out. In these areas, up to 400, 000 people occupy per square kilometre. (Yeh 2011) The desire for centralisation and the fast pace of life has influenced the construction of apartments and subway lines.
Along this path, the Moon appeared to completely cover up the Sun's disk for several minutes. During this time, while the Sun was safely tucked away behind the Moon, it was even safe to remove your eclipse glasses! This allowed viewers to catch a glimpse of the beautiful solar corona before having to put the glasses back in place for when the first beads of sunlight poked out from behind the limb of the Moon. This view of the August 2017 solar eclipse was captured from Scottsville, Kentucky. Credit: Justin Dickey, Unsplash Elsewhere during the event, such as up here in Canada, only a partial eclipse was visible. The farther from the path of totality you were, less of the Sun was covered by the Moon, even at maximum eclipse. Viewers had to wear their eclipse glasses or use a pinhole camera or other indirect way to watch the whole time. With only part of the Sun covered up, looking at it for any significant amount of time, even just a few moments, would risk damage to your eyes. An annular solar eclipse looks so different from a total solar eclipse due to the Moon's distance and thus its apparent size.

TEXARKANA, TEX – AEP Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO)'s subcontractor Wright Tree Services will begin tree trimming in Texarkana, Texas on July 2nd and will continue throughout the summer and into the fall, finishing in mid- November. Assistant City Manager Shirley Jaster emphasizes the importance of tree trimming to ensure power reliability during possible storms. "In order to keep our residents safe, electricity is important to communications, " Jaster said. "When a big storm comes our way, citizens will appreciate that the power remains on, largely due to trees and debris being cleared from power lines. " The tree trimming process will include customer notification by a front door hangar, 48 to 72 hours before work is conducted, and an opportunity for customers to meet with trimmers about their property and preferences. Once the work is completed, brush will be chipped or chopped, and the waste will be hauled away. If the customer cannot be reached within the time frame allotted, permission will be assumed and trimming will be completed.
The current release is now GTK 4. 01, released in January. A quick way to get hold of GNOME 40 is to install the just-released Fedora 34 beta, ahead of the full release towards the end of April. Ubuntu is sticking with GNOME 3. 38 for the 21. 04 release, with concerns including "the new shell design, is it going to be fully ready in one cycle? What's the impact on our desktop and extensions? It's likely that we will have design questions to resolve and non-trivial code changes. " GNOME 40 can be expected in the Ubuntu October release. ®
