Environmentální žal. Jak si poradit s hlubokým smutkem z vymírání druhů a klimatických změn?
Potkávám čím dál víc smutných lidí. Nevědí, jestli jejich děti v budoucnu najdou zdravé místo pro život. Samotné se mě často dotknou filmy o zanikajících ostrovních státech. A přesto mi lidé dokážou do očí tvrdit, že klimatická změna neexistuje. Potkala jsem se s dalšími ženami, které trpí podobným pocitem smutku, a oslovila i terapeutku, která se rozhodla tomuto věnovat. Nakonec jsem pochopila, že i lidé, kteří sami stojí v opozici, tím žalem nejspíš sami trpí. Jen jinak.

Stav klimatické nouze, Praha bezuhlíková nebo Umění pro klima. To jsou hesla, která ve středu večer promítali umělci na budovu magistrátu hlavního města. Upozorňují tak podle svých slov na to, že zastupitelstvo dosud nepřijalo konkrétní strategická opatření, která by reagovala na změny klimatu.

Oil well fire
Oil well fires are oil or gas wells that have caught on fire and burn. Oil well fires can be the result of human actions, such as accidents or arson, or natural events, such as lightning. They can exist on a small scale, such as an oil field spill catching fire, or on a huge scale, as in geyser-like jets of flames from ignited high pressure wells. A frequent cause of a well fire is a high-pressure blowout during drilling operations. Extinguishing the fires Oil well fires are more difficult to extinguish than regular fires due to the enormous fuel supply for the fire. In fighting a fire at a wellhead, typically high explosives, such as dynamite, are used to create a shockwave that pushes the burning fuel and local atmospheric oxygen away from a well. (This is a similar principle to blowing out a candle.) The flame is removed and the fuel can continue to spill out without catching fire. After blowing out the fire, the wellhead must be capped to stop the flow of oil. During this time, copious fuel and oxygen are present; any spark or other heat source might ignite a fire worse than the original blowout. Thus...

Canary trap
A canary trap is a method for exposing an information leak by giving different versions of a sensitive document to each of several suspects and seeing which version gets leaked. It could be one false statement, to see if sensitive information gets out to other people as well. Special attention is paid to the quality of the prose of the unique language, in the hopes that the suspect will repeat it verbatim in the leak, thereby identifying the version of the document. The term was coined by Tom Clancy in his novel Patriot Games, although Clancy did not invent the technique. The actual method (usually referred to as a barium meal test in espionage circles) has been used by intelligence agencies for many years. The fictional character Jack Ryan describes the technique he devised for identifying the sources of leaked classified documents: Each summary paragraph has six different versions, and the mixture of those paragraphs is unique to each numbered copy of the paper. There are over a thousand possible permutations, but only ninety-six numbered copies of the actual document. The reason the summary paragraphs are so lurid is to entice a...

Analog hole
The analog hole (also known as the analog loophole) is a perceived fundamental and inevitable vulnerability in copy protection schemes for noninteractive works in digital formats which can be exploited to duplicate copy-protected works that are ultimately reproduced using analog means. Once digital information is converted to a human-perceptible (analog) form, it is a relatively simple matter to digitally recapture that analog reproduction in an unrestricted form, thereby fundamentally circumventing any and all restrictions placed on copyrighted digitally distributed work. Media publishers who use digital rights management (DRM), to restrict how a work can be used, perceive the necessity to make it visible or audible as a "hole" in the control that DRM otherwise affords them. Overview Although the technology for creating digital recordings from analog sources has existed for some time, it was not necessarily viewed as a "hole" until the widespread deployment of DRM in the late 1990s. However, if high-quality equipment is not used to perform the conversion, the resulting copy may have low fidelity compared to the digital...

Dánská neziskovka zná recept na osamělost. Mladým lidem nabízí večery, kde si mohou najít kamarády
Jeden z deseti mladých Dánů trpí osamělostí, a to navzdory tomu, že Dánsko boduje v žebříčcích nejšťastnějších zemí světa. Právě těm, kdo se cítí sami, nabízí své služby nezisková organizace Ventilen. V rámci ní se dvakrát týdně schází mladí Dánové od 15 do 25 let s dobrovolníky Ventilenu a společně hrají hry, vaří nebo chodí do kina. Díky tomu se mohou s někým skamarádit a společně čelit problémům spojeným s osamělostí, jako je třeba deprese.
