That time Oregon blew up a whale with dynamite. And why we should never do it again. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. When a whale dies in the ocean, an ecosystem grows around its sunken carcass. It's an epic burial at sea, something researchers call a whale fall .

A visitor has called it a miracle no-one was hurt when a section of cliff collapsed on to a beach on Dorset's Jurassic Coast. Suzanne Sears, from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire, was taking a walk near West Bay when she heard a deep cracking noise coming from the cliffs before the rockfall shortly after 16:00 GMT on Tuesday. The Maritime and Coastguard Agency confirmed a rescue team was sent to a report of a cliff fall at West Bay and no one was found to be in distress. A woman was forced to run to safety as the Dorset cliff collapsed on Saturday. The kayakers spotted the creature after hearing it exhaling loudly off Portland Castle beach.

In 2023, new trains were launched in Glasgow as part of the full-scale upgrade to improve the city's subway after more than 30 years. The renovations have continued and now, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) has announced Unattended Train Operation will be introduced to Glasgow. The modernisation project is in its'final stages,' Time Out reports, and the driverless subway trains are expected to be brought in next year.

We expand Eq. 10 as: q There are three KL divergence terms in our training objective ELBO (Eq. Medium and Y elp Large datasets, we follow (Guu et al., 2018) to use a three-layer attentional LSTM Skip connections are also used between adjacent LSTM layers. We apply annealing and free-bits techniques following (Li et al., 2019) to the KL term on prototype variable, As in Section 4.3, here we show more generated examples through interpolation on MSCOCO dataset. Table 6: Qualitative examples from the MSCOCO dataset on interpolated sentence generation given the prototype.

Since September, residents on South Korea's Jeju island have been spotting small packs of what appear to be bags of Chinese tea washed ashore. Upon closer inspection, however, they were found to contain ketamine. Some 28kg (62 lbs) of the drug, wrapped in foil and labelled with the Chinese character for tea, have been found on at least eight occasions, police say. Ketamine is used as an anaesthetic in medical procedures, but its recreational use is illegal in South Korea. It can cause severe physical and mental damage, including to the heart and lungs, when misused.

John Viveiros exclusively works with discarded materials and sea glass from Rhode Island's beaches. The tree is constructed from a metal pole, with sea glass strung down from the top. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. If a coastal Christmas is your vibe, then John Viveiros of Tiverton, Rhode Island is your guy. An arborist and tree climber by trade and a welder/craftsman by choice and chance, Viveiros constructs Christmas trees out of recycled material and some of the beach's most prized treasures: sea glass.

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. The smelly, brown seaweed can put a damper on a day at the beach at best and hinder baby turtles on their way to the ocean at worst. Only about one in 1,000 sea turtle hatchlings survive to adulthood, and might be added to their already long list of challenges . The new findings detailed in a study published in the explores the role that this brown seaweed plays on vulnerable sea turtle populations. "For sea turtle hatchlings, reaching the ocean is already a race against time - and survival. Now, increasingly large mats of sargassum are adding new challenges to this critical journey," study co-author and Florida Atlantic University biologist Sarah Milton, said in a statement .

Although it is easy to be enthusiastic about the sea's ability to regulate climate and to produce both oxygen and delicious marine life that goes well with melted butter, it is also easy to recognize that the sea is an uncompromising bringer of death, a hotheaded bully who is perpetually ready to rumble. The other day in the Rockaways, on the shore at Beach Eighty-seventh Street, the ocean was exhibiting its pugilistic side: four-foot waves, strong undertow--perfect conditions for test-driving one of the city's new beach-patrol initiatives. For the past three years, New York City beaches have relied on drones to detect sharks and riptides, and now the gizmos are being used to drop flotation devices on swimmers in trouble. This summer, a stretch of the Rockaways will be patrolled by two all-terrain vehicles, each bearing a drone pilot as well as a rescue swimmer, who can assist lifeguards as needed. A correspondent who had volunteered to pose as a swimmer in distress cast a wary eye at the surf.

Bebot delivers a smarter, cleaner and more sustainable way to keep shorelines pristine. Those people scanning the beach with metal detectors, hoping for a lucky find, might not be thrilled about what's next. While beaches are where we unwind, play, and connect with nature, they're also under constant threat from plastic pollution and human debris. That's where BeBot comes in. BeBot, an all-electric beach-cleaning robot developed in Italy by Niteko Robotics in partnership with 4ocean and Poralu Marine, is quietly transforming environmental technology.
