On Tuesday, March 16, Cadbury New Zealand presents Bobby in concert at the SkyCity Theatre. Originally planned as a celebration of the incredible musical and cultural diversity in New Zealand, the show will now benefit Variety, a charity devoted to helping children affected by the recent earthquake in Christchurch.

‘Extraordinary rainstorm’ floods Nebraska city triggers water rescues трип скан An entire June’s worth of rain fell in just a few hours over Grand Island Nebraska Wednesday night triggering life-threatening flash flooding that inundated neighborhoods stranded motorists and forced water rescues. Crews have responded to dozens of calls to assist motorists stuck in flooded roads since torrential rain began Wednesday night according to Spencer Schubert the city’s communications manager. The flooding has also displaced an unspecified number of residents from their homes. https://tripscan.biz tripskan “At this time we have no injuries to report” Schubert said early Thursday morning noting some rescues were ongoing. Torrential rain caused sewers to back up into several homes and sent floodwater running into basements according to a Thursday news release from the city. Some affected residents took shelter at local hotels or with friends and family. “This was an extraordinary rainstorm and is very similar to the historic rains seen in the 2005 floods” Jon Rosenlund the city’s emergency director said. “We will be actively monitoring rivers creeks and other drainage areas over the next few days for future flooding issues.” Flooding in 2005 turned streets into rivers in Grand Island. At one point the city tore up a major road to open up a channel to drain flooding away from homes CNN affiliate KHGI reported. The central Nebraskan city is home to around 53000 people and is about 130 miles southwest of Omaha. The rain came to an end around sunrise Thursday but the danger remains with a flood warning in effect until 7 p.m. CDT.
‘Like wildfires underwater’: Worst summer on record for Great Barrier Reef as coral die-off sweeps planet tripscan top Great Barrier Reef Australia CNN — As the early-morning sun rises over the Great Barrier Reef its light pierces the turquoise waters of a shallow lagoon bringing more than a dozen turtles to life. These waters that surround Lady Elliot Island off the eastern coast of Australia provide some of the most spectacular snorkeling in the world — but they are also on the front line of the climate crisis as one of the first places to suffer a mass coral bleaching event that has now spread across the world. https://tripscan.biz tripscan The Great Barrier Reef just experienced its worst summer on record and the US-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration NOAA announced last month that the world is undergoing a rare global mass coral bleaching event — the fourth since the late 1990s — impacting at least 53 countries. The corals are casualties of surging global temperatures which have smashed historical records in the past year — caused mainly by fossil fuels driving up carbon emissions and accelerated by the El Nino weather pattern which heats ocean temperatures in this part of the world. CNN witnessed bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef in mid-February on five different reefs spanning the northern and southern parts of the 2300-kilometer 1400-mile ecosystem. “What is happening now in our oceans is like wildfires underwater” said Kate Quigley principal research scientist at Australia’s Minderoo Foundation. “We’re going to have so much warming that we’re going to get to a tipping point and we won’t be able to come back from that.” Coral bleached white from high water temperatures on the Great Barrier Reef Australia. CNN Bleaching occurs when marine heatwaves put corals under stress causing them to expel algae from their tissue draining their color. Corals can recover from bleaching if the temperatures return to normal but they will perish if the water stays warmer than usual. “It’s a die-off” said Professor Ove Hoegh-Guldberg a climate scientist at the University of Queensland in Australia and chief scientist at The Great Barrier Reef Foundation. “The temperatures got so warm they’re off the charts … they never occurred before at this sort of level.” The destruction of marine ecosystems would deliver an effective death sentence for around a quarter of all species that depend on reefs for survival — and threaten an estimated billion people who rely on reef fish for their food and livelihoods. Reefs also provide vital protection for coastlines reducing the impact of floods cyclones and sea level rise. “Humanity is being threatened at a rate by which I’m not sure we really understand” Hoegh-Guldberg said.
A nuclear fusion power plant prototype is already being built outside Boston. How long until unlimited clean energy is real? порно жесткий секс In an unassuming industrial park 30 miles outside Boston engineers are building a futuristic machine to replicate the energy of the stars. If all goes to plan it could be the key to producing virtually unlimited clean electricity in the United States in about a decade. The donut-shaped machine Commonwealth Fusion Systems is assembling to generate this energy is simultaneously the hottest and coldest place in the entire solar system according to the scientists who are building it. It is inside that extreme environment in the so-called tokamak that they smash atoms together in 100-million-degree plasma. The nuclear fusion reaction is surrounded by a magnetic field more than 400000 times more powerful than the Earth’s and chilled with cryogenic gases close to absolute zero. The fusion reaction — forcing two atoms to merge — is what creates the energy of the sun. It is the exact opposite of what the world knows now as “nuclear power” — a fission reaction that splits atoms. Nuclear fusion has far greater energy potential with none of the safety concerns around radioactive waste. SPARC is the tokamak Commonwealth says could forever change how the world gets its energy generating 10 million times more than coal or natural gas while producing no planet-warming pollution. Fuel for fusion is abundant derived from deuterium found in seawater and tritium extracted from lithium. And unlike nuclear fission there is no atomic waste involved. The biggest hurdle is building a machine powerful and precise enough to harness the molten hard-to-tame plasma while also overcoming the net-energy issue – getting more energy out than you put into it. “Basically what everybody expects is when we build the next machine we expect it to be a net-energy machine” said Andrew Holland CEO of the Fusion Industry Association a trade group representing fusion companies around the globe. “The question is how fast can you build that machine?” Commonwealth’s timeline is audacious: With over 2 billion raised in private capital its goal is to build the world’s first fusion-fueled power plant by the early 2030s in Virginia. “It’s like a race with the planet” said Brandon Sorbom Commonwealth’s chief science officer. Commonwealth is racing to find a solution for global warming Sorbom said but it’s also trying to keep up with new power-hungry technologies like artificial intelligence. “This factory here is a 24/7 factory” he said. “We’re acutely aware of it every minute of every hour of every day.”
