Why Climate Change Could Mean
More Delayed Flights
No one enjoys a delayed flight, but as our weather gets
warmer, we can expect more of them.
That's according to experts, who say that the heat of the
summer might cause more delays.
Bloomberg looked at US data for flight delays at airports in
Chicago and New York from June to August in 2022 and from
January to March in 2023. It found that there were more
delayed flights in the summer months at both airports.
When the temperature rises above 39 degrees Celsius,
things get very difficult for airlines, Bijan Vasigh, a professor
at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in the US,
told Bloomberg.
The air is thinner when it gets hot and that makes it harder
for planes to take off. In thinner air there is not as much lift, so
more power is needed.
When they need more power, it helps to have a lighter
airplane.
That might mean pilots have to make last-minute decisions
to reduce the weight on board by dumping fuel, passengers
or baggage — meaning the plane will probably be delayed.
The problem gets worse at airports that are at a higher
altitude where the air is already thinner, and at airports with
short runways, since planes need more space to get up to a
high speed.
But thin air is not the only problem. Smoke from wildfires —
that have been happening all around the world in the summer
of 2023 —can also cause flights to be delayed and canceled.
Of course, the summer is also a busy time when millions of
people fly, and weather is not the only cause of delays — but
our hotter climate doesn't seem to be helping.

Kids can show anxiety symptoms early on
Kristen Rogers - CNN
Excessive clinginess to parents can be a sign a child is struggling with an anxiety disorder, experts have said.
(...)
Anxiety disorders are marked by persistent and excessive worries. While someone with generalized anxiety might worry about various everyday things, someone with social anxiety typically has ‘intense or persistent fears or worries about being judged negatively by other people’, said Rachel Busman, a New York-based clinical psychologist and cognitive and behavioral consultant _______ specialized in anxiety.
One fifth of children worldwide have anxiety symptoms that are clinically elevated, or worse than what is considered normal, according to a 2011 study.
Anxiety symptoms can be difficult to spot, but the sooner parents notice signs, the earlier mental health professionals ‘can help parents and kids understand what is happening’, said Dr. Rebecca Baum, a professor of general pediatrics and adolescent medicine at the University of North Carolina.
Children with anxiety might begin to avoid anxietyinducing situations. This behavior can facilitate a cycle that makes their fears bigger and bigger.

The arm of Liberty
Anonymous
The Statue of Liberty is probably the ______ icon of the
USA.
( ...) When the American Civil war ended, Édouard de
Laboulaye wanted to commemorate the end of the slave trade
with a gift. He and other people who opposed slavery raised
money and hired a sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi, to
design the Statue. Bartholdi later employed the French
engineer, Gustave Eiffel, to devise its structure.
Eiffel designed the Statue to be built around a massive
metal skeleton, similar to the Eiffel Tower. In 2018, a map
dealer bought some historic papers at an auction in Paris,
which included original plans. After special treatment, the
papers clearly showed that Eiffel’s plans had been changed by
Bartholdi.
(...) We don’t know what Eiffel thought of Bartholdi’s
changes. By then, Eiffel was working on other projects, and
only his assistants were working with Bartholdi.
(...) At first, visitors could climb a ladder to the torch in
Liberty’s arm, but in 1916, there was an explosion on a
nearby island. It damaged the Statue and made it unsafe, and
the stairway to the torch has been closed ever since. During
restoration work in the 1980s, engineers noticed that the
structure inside Liberty’s head, shoulders, and arm were
different from how they were shown on Eiffel’s plans. They
thought that the builders had made mistakes, but some
historians believed that Bartholdi had changed Eiffel’s design.
The newly discovered papers confirm those theories.
