Recently I found myself listening to someone who was trying to convince me that I should be doing more on Facebook. For reasons like attracting new customers and making more money. It was pretty sad listening to the spiel, but I do care about people and their opinions, even when they are wrong. Note: this post is a giant rant. If you are easily offended and/or love Facebook, stop reading here and go play somewhere that is safe for you. […]

The ones I know of: ads.txt humans.txt robots.txt security.txt This site makes use of robots.txt and humans.txt. I don’t need ads.txt because 3rd-party ads aren’t currently running on the site, and security.txt seems not necessary as the site’s contact form is easy enough for anyone to find. I’m guessing there are other “little text files” out there, but I am super busy building a bookstore subdomain for the site with every spare minute. So for now I’ll post the files […]

Is there a single surge mechanism? Contrasts in dynamics between glacier surges in Svalbard and other regions Murray, Tavi; Strozzi, Tazio; Luckman, Adrian; Jiskoot, Hester; Christakos, Panos During the 1990s, Monacobreen, a 40-km-long tidewater glacier in Svalbard, underwent a major surge. We mapped the surge dynamics using ERS synthetic aperture radar images, differential dual-azimuth interferometry and intensity correlation tracking. A series of 11 three-dimensional (3-D) velocity maps covering the period 1991–1997 show a months-long initiation and years-long termination to the surge, with no indication of a surge front travelling downglacier. During the surge, the front of the glacier advanced 2 km, the velocity and derived strain rate increased by more than an order of magnitude, and maximum ice flow rates measured during 1994 were 5md 1. The spatial pattern of both velocity and strain rate was remarkably consistent and must therefore be controlled by spatially fixed processes operating at the glacier bed. We combine these results with those published in the literature to construct a typical Svalbard glacier surge cycle and compare this to surge dynamics of glaciers from other cluster regions, especially those of Variegated Glacier in Alaska. The strong contrast in dynamics suggests that there exist at least two distinct surge mechanisms. Sherpa Romeo green journal. Permission to archive final published version.

A Punjab Police assistant sub-inspector (ASI) on Thursday night shot dead a prominent Kabaddi player Arvinder Jeet Singh Padda in Lakhan Ke Padde village and injured another youth. Following arrest of the accused ASI and his associate on Friday, Kapurthala SSP Satinder Singh dismissed the former from service.

The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic is posing a huge challenge for Punjab farmers who are facing labour shortage due to the exodus of migrants to their native states. However, it also offers a rare opportunity to diversify to other crops from water-guzzling paddy in the coming kharif (summer) season, according to officials and experts.
