Hutchison focused on the sounds that birds like hawks and robins emit (“kreeeeeet-kreet-kreet” versus "chip-chip"), which help her locate the hawks. However, her main project has been to follow two red-tailed hawks and their parents on First Church, Memorial Church, and Memorial Hall, writing and taking pictures of the creatures as they feed, preen, and fly. “I’m coming to realize that we’ve had red-tailed hawks living at Harvard for years now. I think they live on the north edge...
Furthermore, nuclear energy is immeasurably cleaner than burning coal, oil, or natural gas; the carbon emissions from the entire nuclear-energy cycle about equal that of a wind or hydroelectric plant. Nuclear plants even emit less radioactivity than coal plants, since there are natural radioactive materials mixed in with the coal, which are vented into the air. The footprint of a nuclear plant is miniscule compared to the hundreds of windmills required to generate the electrical output of a single reactor. Nuclear plants also avoid the highly toxic chemicals used in solar-panel production, and again, a single reactor...
Stavins said in a recent interview with The Crimson that a cap-and-trade system would be more efficient and less controversial than a carbon tax because limiting the total amount of carbon that corporations emit does not require an equal distribution of pollution limits. He explained that while a carbon tax would be superior in theory, a cap-and-trade system would be more practical when political realities are taken into account...

This role is also one that should require more foul language or outward disrespect for authority figures than Cyrus is permitted to deliver in this Disney production.

For example, electroshock weapons like stun belts - which are placed around detainees' limbs and emit a shock if they get out of line - are sometimes renamed "stun cuffs," Amnesty says. Another scheme is to sell "dual-use" items, such as leg shackles and stick batons, which are allowed to be exported for policing and security purposes. The trade in dual-use products is meant to be closely monitored, but Amnesty says little is being done to make sure the devices are not being...
