Companhias aéreas cancelam 2 mil voos nos EUA neste sábado por tempestade de inverno


Voos atrasados, para dentro ou fora dos EUA, somavam 4 mil na manhã deste sábado, de acordo com o site de rastreamento FlightAware. Avião parado no Aeroporto Internacional Midway em Chicago, Illinois - 24 de dezembro de 2022. Reuters Empresas aéreas cancelaram aproximadamente 2 mil voos nos Estados Unidos até a manhã deste sábado, após uma forte tempestade de inverno prejudicar as operações de aeroportos no país e frustrar planos de milhares de viajantes.  Os voos atrasados, para dentro ou fora dos EUA, totalizavam cerca de 4 mil na manhã deste sábado, de acordo com o site de rastreamento FlightAware. O site mostrou que o total de cancelamentos nos EUA estava em torno de 2 mil. Os cancelamentos de voos na manhã deste sábado incluíram mais de 450 da Southwest Airlines e quase 400 da Delta Air Lines. As interrupções nos voos ocorrem em meio a tempestade ártica que atinge grande parte dos Estados Unidos neste sábado, causando quedas de energia e acidentes em estradas. O declínio das temperaturas deve produzir a véspera de Natal mais fria já registrada em várias cidades norte-americanas, da Pensilvânia à Geórgia. As temperaturas estão previstas para alcançar neste sábado até -13ºC em Pittsburgh, superando a máxima mais fria de todos os tempos para uma véspera de Natal, estabelecida em 1983, de -10ºC, disse o serviço de meteorologia do país. Forte tempestade de neve afeta véspera do Natal nos Estados Unidos Tempestades de inverno As tempestades de inverno têm aumentado em frequência e intensidade ao longo dos últimos 70 anos, segundo o Programa de Pesquisa de Mudanças Globais dos EUA. Isso se deve em parte às mudanças climáticas, de acordo com o Fundo de Defesa Ambiental, porque o planeta evapora mais água na atmosfera à medida que ela aquece, levando a mais precipitação geral. Na sexta-feira, os cancelamentos de voos nos EUA somaram 5.936 voos, de acordo com a FlightAware. “O aumento do volume de tráfego aéreo e o clima de inverno afetando a metade norte dos EUA ainda podem causar atrasos nas viagens de férias”, disse a Administração Federal de Aviação (FAA, na sigla em inglês) neste sábado.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
