Scorching temperatures are expected at this year's World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada. How will players and fans cope? And how will it affect the action on the pitch? Scientists are concerned about the impact of extreme heat on the biggest sporting event in history. The organisers, FIFA, is introducing mandatory water breaks to keep players cool, but experts say the hot conditions may slow down the game and give an advantage to teams that play more matches in air-conditioned stadiums. There's also concern about the health effects on fans. FIFA has put in place measures such as cooling areas and misting systems, but some say the plans don't go far enough. The Climate Question hosts Graihagh Jackson and Jordan Dunbar chat to Dr Madeleine Orr, Associate Professor of Sports Ecology at the University of Toronto, and BBC Sport Correspondent Katie Gornall. Katie also breaks down the carbon footprint of a World Cup that's been described as one of the most polluting events ever. Got a question or comment?

He placed the letter in front of her.Hi: देविका ने चिट्ठी को पढ़ा और उसकी आँखों में नमी आ गई।En: Devika read the letter and her eyes welled up.Hi: आरव ने उसके चेहरे को देखा, जिसमें एक अजीब सी शांति थी।En: Aarav saw a peculiar peace on her face.Hi: उसने कहा, "शुक्रिया, आरव, तुमने मुझे ये बताया।En: She said, "Thank you, Aarav, for telling me.Hi: मुझे लगा था तुम बदल जाओगे पर तुमने मेरी बात सुनी।"En: I thought you would change, but you listened to me."Hi: उस दिन के बाद, देविका ने आरव को विश्वास में लिया।En: After that day, Devika trusted Aarav.Hi: उसने अपने दिल की बातें आरव से साझा कीं।En: She shared her heartfelt matters with him.Hi: आरव ने कभी सोचा भी नहीं था कि उसका यह कदम उन्हें इस तरह से करीब ले आएगा।En: Aarav never imagined that this step would bring them so close.Hi: आरव ने सीखा कि ईमानदारी और हिम्मत से अगर दिल की बात कही जाए, तो रिश्ते बनते हैं।En: Aarav learned that if you speak your heart with honesty and courage, relationships are formed.Hi: देविका ने महसूस किया कि कमजोरियाँ साझा करने से इंसान हल्का महसूस करता है।En: Devika realized that sharing vulnerabilities makes one feel lighter.Hi: वह दोनों इंडिया गेट की छांव में अपने अच्छे भविष्य की ओर बढ़े।En: Both of them moved towards a bright future under the shade of India Gate.

Chapter Two: Wind, Sigils, and Lightworkers With ShovelsThe EngineIt was the first morning at the Reservoir of Light when Larry's dump truck broke down directly in front of the sand castle.Two days before my birthday gathering, lightworkers were waking up, grabbing shovels, drinking coffee, and preparing to clear the land. Larry had bought the truck the previous October specifically to haul garbage away.Instead, the truck died in a big puff of steam and unmuffled exhaust roaring into silence. Jay, our neighbor, said “That thing's never moving again unless I tow it away”.I would love to explain exactly what happened to the engine, but all I heard was: “oil too full,” “rebuild in a can,” and something about water in the blablabla.On the podcast Larry can explain what any of that actually means, or whether I even heard it correctly.What I did understand was this: we suddenly had piles of garbage, dozens of willing helpers, and nowhere to put anything.Then our neighbor arrived with his work dump truck.The lightworkers filled it to the rim.He drove away, and we thought the problem had been solved.He ended up dumping a full load of trash onto his own land, because the owner of the dumptruck, his boss, needed it before the dump would open. DANG!!The pattern we had noticed on the road was continuing.Fred replaced all four trailer tires for his trip back, “just in case” but still lost a tire. Ash got a flat tire and replaced all four of hers. By the time the gathering ended, we learned that more tire problems happened as people travelled home.Coincidence? Maybe.But it felt increasingly clear that this gathering was not designed for passive passengers.The land demanded participation.Arrival at the LandWe arrived a few days before the guests, well into the evening. Making it there without any more mechanical trouble already felt like a victory.The land itself felt itchy-scratchy.There were abandoned vehicles still needing removal, piles of debris, unfinished cleanup, and the unresolved legal process of transferring the land fully into Larry's and my name.Our neighbor had already worked long and hard helping us clear garbage and remove vehicles, and the difference was enormous. But cleaner is not the same as ready.It became obvious very quickly that last year's initiation into this land was continuing into this year.Some things do not resolve themselves in a single pass.Cleanup BeginsLarry mentioned that on the first day he cooked at the sand castle kitchen, there were only one or two people around to share food with him.The next day there was a line.People organized themselves naturally into groups. Cleaning, organizing, bagging, repairing systems, preparing spaces, hauling debris. Ashley created shared to-do lists, and people quietly took ownership of them without needing direction.I have to tell you, Lightworkers with Shovels are something to experience.The work itself became strangely meaningful. Physical labor, symbolic realizations, coincidences, conversations, discoveries. The land seemed to respond to participation.Off Grid RealityThe Reservoir of Light is completely off-grid. No electricity, water, or sewage systems. Just desert land, wind, dust, generators, batteries, and people trying to make things work together.And the conditions were intense.High winds. Freezing nights. Scorching daytime heat. Dust everywhere. Batteries dying. Coffee emergencies. Water runs. Exhaustion.No one left.Instead, people gathered closer. We had daily Lightning Chats, rock-hounding expeditions, bonfires, night watches, and moments of connection difficult to explain unless you were there.Ashley organized a scavenger hunt for the birthday, Kara helped execute it, and the guests are still talking about it. Martha organized karaoke the night of the celebration and many of us laughed and sang so much we lost our voices.It was hard. It was joyful.And the longer we stayed on the land, the stranger things became.At first the strange things were easy to dismiss.A misplaced object.Something appearing where it should not be.Sounds that did not quite make sense.A feeling that reality itself was becoming slightly less predictable around the edges.But as the days continued, the glitches became harder to ignore.Next week I will share more about all the odd and curious things that started happening all over the land.The discussion doesn't stop here - listen to the full podcast episode for unfiltered insights from Inelia and our panelists.

Chuck Garfien sits down with Japan-based reporter Yuri Karasawa of JapanBall and WorldBaseball.com to get a firsthand look at “Murakami Mania” from overseas. They dive into the reaction across Japan, whether White Sox gear is popping up more, and if even seasoned observers are surprised by Murakami leading the league in home runs. Yuri also weighs in on his current pace; early expectations, including Shingo Takatsu's bold 55-HR prediction; and how Murakami has exceeded them so far. The conversation shifts to what's next, from Home Run Derby buzz to concerns in Japan about a potential midseason trade and what that means for fans hoping to see him in Chicago. Chuck and Yuri also revisit offseason skepticism about Murakami handling MLB velocity, break down his unique stat line with no doubles and all home runs, and touch on his speed, defense, and overall profile from his NPB days. They wrap with insight into how Japanese fans follow MLB despite the time difference and a quick check-in on Anthony Kay's start to the season.

In this episode, we listen to a man’s worry about his beloved, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 169, penned by Thondi Aamoor Saathanaar. Set amidst the arid spaces of the ‘Paalai’ or ‘Drylands landscape’, the verse sketches the consequences of parting in a visual manner. மரம் தலை கரிந்து நிலம் பயம் வாட,அலங்குகதிர் வேய்ந்த அழல் திகழ் நனந்தலை,புலி தொலைத்து உண்ட பெருங் களிற்று ஒழி ஊன்கலி கெழு மறவர் காழ்க் கோத்து ஒழிந்ததை,ஞெலி கோற் சிறு தீ மாட்டி, ஒலி திரைக்கடல் விளை அமிழ்தின் கணம் சால் உமணர்சுனை கொள் தீம் நீர்ச் சோற்று உலைக் கூட்டும்சுரம் பல கடந்த நம் வயின் படர்ந்து நனிபசலை பாய்ந்த மேனியள், நெடிது நினைந்து,செல் கதிர் மழுகிய புலம்பு கொள் மாலைமெல் விரல் சேர்த்திய நுதலள், மல்கிக்கயல் உமிழ் நீரின் கண் பனி வார,பெருந் தோள் நெகிழ்ந்த செல்லலொடுவருந்துமால், அளியள், திருந்திழைதானே! A trip to the drylands filled with striking events, where we get to hear the man say these words to his heart, in the middle of his journey to seek wealth: “Scorching treetops and ruining the land's fertility, the hot sun spreads its swaying rays in those wide open spaces, where the carcass of a huge elephant that a tiger has attacked, fed on and abandoned, is carried by uproarious highway robbers on a pole, and what's left over from that, is collected by salt merchants, who travel in hordes, bearing that elixir harvested from the resounding waves of the sea. They light up a small flame with their fire rods and add this meat to the rice cooking in the sweet waters of the spring. As her heart forsakes her and rushes to me, who has crossed many such drylands, with pallor spreading on her form, ceaselessly thinking, pressing her soft fingers on her forehead, with tears spilling over from her eyes, akin to water drops spit out by a fish, her thick arms wasting away, she would be worrying deeply in that evening hour of loneliness, when the sun's rays diminish. That maiden wearing well-etched jewels is to be pitied indeed!” Let’s observe the changing scene in this domain and learn more! The man starts by describing the drylands that he has come across. He first talks about the relentless sun, burning and ruining everything in sight. Then, he points to a single spot and talks about three different events that have occurred right there. First, it’s a fight between a tiger and an elephant. The elephant loses out and is killed by the fierce tiger. After the tiger has had its fill of the beast, it abandons the carcass and walks on. Next, a bunch of highway robbers, who come there, carve out a huge portion of the meat and tying it on a pole, they carry it away. Finally, salt merchants arrive there, and of course, there’s still a lot of meat left, for it’s an elephant we are talking about. They set up camp nearby, start a fire with their fire rods, and then to the rice they are cooking in sweet spring water, they add the meat too. No spring water here, for sure. It must be something they have carried along in their carts. Thus, that huge elephant has now been fed upon by not one, not two, but three different parties in the scene. After that vivid description, the man turns to reflect on the lady and laments to his heart that she is sure to be worried immensely, wondering about his whereabouts, as pallor spreads on her body and her arms thin away. He paints a portrait of the lady sitting there with her hands holding her feverish forehead and tears spilling out of her eyes like water from the mouth of a fish. The man concludes by echoing how his heart throbs with pity for the lady’s state. In the scene of the elephant carcass that was abandoned by the tiger, being fed on by the highway robbers and salt merchants, the man places a metaphor for how the lady’s beauty abandoned by him is now being feasted upon by pallor and pining. The pain in parting felt in the intimate spaces of the heart is illustrated with the scenes of the wide open spaces in the drylands, highlighting the Sangam poets’ expertise in seamlessly connecting the inner world and the outer!

Scorching heatwave conditions continue to grip much of Australia's southeast, keeping authorities on high alert as fire conditions grow increasingly unpredictable. Temperatures soared across parts of Victoria and South Australia yesterday, breaking nearly a dozen local heat records and nearing 50C. And the scorching temperatures are set to continue, with forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology indicating that the heat is set to linger until the weekend in areas away from the coast. Australia Correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking that one fire officer said that the radiant heat is so extreme it can kill you before you even get hit by a bushfire.

Jaxson Dart vs Fernando Mendoza is a hot topic as the Giants have the top pick, plus the Mets have crushed Joe B.
BT and Sal unleash a torrent of commentary following former Mets reliever Adam Ottavino's fiery podcast remarks, where he torches Carlos Mendoza, accusing the manager of "pathetic" bullpen usage and questioning if the organization "even care[s]" about pitcher health, leading to a record number of Tommy John surgeries. Ottavino also stirs the pot by calling former teammate Brandon Nimmo "sensitive" regarding clubhouse leadership and media stories. The hosts also tackle Brian Cashman's defense of Trent Grisham using cryptic "underlying information" and debate whether the Mets should trade the declining Nimmo, McNeil, and Senga during the Hot Stove season. Finally, it's time for the "Perfect Parlay" picks for NFL Week 12. Hoff leads the scoring race, prompting a "desperate" Sal to roll out a three-team parlay with the Giants/Lions Over 50.5 and the 49ers -7. Tierney lays a big -13 with the Lions and takes the Cowboys +3.5 as an upset special.

Welcome to the next chapter of ELEMENTS, the PsynOpticz podcast series where we journey deep into the frequencies that define our psychedelic realm.
Sam is a huge Bears fan. He sets up his brand new smoker in the backyard and put a perfectly seasoned pork shoulder on to cook all day -- just in time for the Sunday Night Bears v. Packers game. The smoker was near the side of the house, but not directly next to it. After 8 hours, the shoulder was tender and ready to eat… but the insured's siding had melted. Sam seeks coverage for the replacement of the melted siding (and for the pork shoulder he dropped when he saw the damage). Notable Timestamps [ 00:23 ] - Sonia sets out a tragic game day scenario. [ 01:16 ] - Fire is often defined by courts using dictionary definitions, such as Merriam-Webster's: "the phenomenon of combustion manifested in light and heat". [ 04:38 ] - Scorching analysis suggests black marks may indicate oxidation and a glow (which could be fire damage), while brown marks often indicate high heat damage only. [ 06:58 ] - For insurance purposes, losses must be fortuitous; Sam was trying to smoke meat, not melt the siding, so the damage was fortuitous from his perspective. [ 08:37 ] - Most states rely on "proximate cause", i.e. the dominant or efficient cause that initiates the events, when analyzing causation for claims. [ 09:23 ] - Friendly fire is contained in its usual place (like a stove), while hostile fire is unexpected or uncontrolled and not in its intended location. However, this analysis is not typically used by modern courts. [ 11:43 ] - Sonia provides a recap of the points above.

Climate disruptions and growing risk are upending insurance markets, leading many insurers to abandon parts of the country all together. Due to fires, floods and other extreme events, more and more homeowners are facing rapidly rising premiums or being dropped from their insurance plans altogether. Increasing numbers of homeowners are taking refuge in the state insurance plans of last resort, straining the program resources. For homeowners, whose house is often their biggest financial asset, this creates a huge financial risk. So what should people do to evaluate climate risks and insurance availability during their housing search? And how can governments help insurers weather the increasing frequency of climate-induced disasters so they can continue to underwrite our homes? Guests: Rachel Cleetus, Senior Policy Director, Union of Concerned Scientists Claire O'Connor, Los Angeles real estate agent and homeowner Dave Jones, Director, Climate Risk Initiative at the Center for Law, Energy & the Environment, UC Berkeley This episode also includes a news feature produced by Camryn Sanchez of KJZZ in Phoenix.

Hexcloak justiciar Caoimhe Wake and her two ad hoc assistant investigators, Antistrophe Landrace and Brontë Adelvys, have their work cut out for them. First and foremost, there's the matter of these strange, flaming creatures attacking a traveling Lobble and his stagecoach full of supplies. And then there's there's the matter of Burzin, the small desert township on the horizon. After generations of simplicity and stability, the town has faced a sudden wave of inexplicable destruction as a phenomenon that can only be described as “invisible fire” has razed much of the town to ash. Will Caoimhe, Antistrophe, and Brontë find who—or what—is behind the blaze? Or will what remains of Burzin soon be burned away? This week on Perpetua: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 2 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.02] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Flarie [NMFLR] Typical Traits: Curious, Fickle, Scornful, Superior Stats: DEX 8, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 8 Attacks: Flame Dart Special Abilities: Flying, Crisis: Wildfire In-Game Description: A devious flying flame, vaguely int he shape of a fairy. Flaries are cute, but they're also dangerous, especially early on! They're ranged attackers who hover just out of melee reach, so you'll need to either hit crit them or get them down to half health with ranged or magic attacks, or hit their elemental weakness. And remember, Perpetua doesn't have water magic for some reason, and Fire often Melts Ice! Any guesses on what that leaves as a natural vulnerability? That's right: EARTH. Toss some dirt on these little jerks and you'll bring ‘em down to ground level. Starter Tip: Get ready to heal once you knock them into crisis! Their Wildfire move is devastating! Embear [NMEMB] Typical Traits: Pround, Hungry, Scorching, Territorial Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Flame Claw Special Abilities: Burn Back (Reaction) In-Game Description: A large, ursine figure of fire looking for something to eat. These guys are the brawn to the Flaries'... well, not quite brains, but fla(i)r, I guess? At the start of the game, they really pack a wallop, so try to keep your weaker characters away from their Flame Claw strikes. I wonder what type of bear they're supposed to be? Do any bears really live in the dessert??? Starter Tip: At first blush, their Burn Back reaction attack seems totally broken. But remember, it only hits melee attackers! Aisling Revanj (she/her) [NMAR] Traits: Ambitious, Mean Spirited, Envious, Loyal Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Descriptions: Fiery Hexcloak who oversees Burzin and the surrounding region. When I first saw concept art of her during previous, I thought she'd be one of my favorite characters, but it turns out that she's an ABSOLUTE B**! She's so superior and “holier-than-thou,” if that's the right phrase. And it's not like she solves ANYTHING, she's just always getting int he way. I cannot WAIT to fight her later on in the game. Starter Tip: You can basically button through all of her dialog, she doesn't say anything important IMO!
