7 d. ago Edward Kane and The Voice of the Spider. Chapter 5: But Why There?

‘Remarkably clever, your man, Edward.’ Kane and Collins were sipping their coffee in the Advocates Reading Room. Kane smiled: ‘I must have missed that aspect, Collins.’ The other Advocate furrowed his brows: ‘I thought that it was quite ingenious. His view of the spider. An analysis that went to the very heart of our accepted jurisprudence.’ Kane shrugged: ‘I’m not sure that ’. Collins wagged his finger: ‘No, Edward, no. The example is instructive. The spider is proceeding along on familiar ground – well-known to him – and suddenly – without advertisement – a barrier is imposed – quite arbitrarily – upon his ability to progress. With a severe penalty for transgression. To cross the line of the circle – in this case – means death. And the spider does not know that. And then, when spider – inadvertently – even manages to obey the new law, he is still punished. The whole tale is an object example of the arbitrary exercise of power.’

8 d. ago ‘So much we don’t know’: why experts are warning against a new pipeline in British Columbia

Project on ‘very poorly understood’ terrain poses immense geological hazard, endangering fragile ecosystemsWhen an earthquake in 2002 struck in a remote pocket of Alaska, the shock was the strongest ever recorded in the interior of the state. But, miraculously, an oil pipeline that crossed directly over the fault line was unscathed.Engineers behind the design of the 800 mile system were prepared. Knowing the high likelihood of seismic activity along the route, which bisected the Denali fault, they constructed sections where the pipeline rested on rail girders, allowing it to sway and shear without snapping.
