> Norway's supreme court in 2021 ruled that two wind farms built at Fosen in central Norway violated Sami rights under international conventions, but the turbines remain in operation more than 16 months later.

Does this court ruling mean anything?

> In 1956, Mrs. Hodges decided to sell the meteorite to the Alabama Museum of Natural History, against her husband's wishes, and as he recalled, for about $25.

But looking further:

> At that time, when Americans were skittish about the threat of nuclear war and alert to rumors of flying saucers, the Air Force took custody of the object to verify that it was indeed a meteorite. Officers at Maxwell Air Force Base promised that it would be returned to the Hodges household, which coincidentally stood across the street from a drive-in theater named The Comet. It featured a neon depiction of a comet soaring through space.

> Identifying the object as a meteorite was relatively easy, but determining its ownership became complicated. The Hodges rented their home, and their landlady, Birdie Guy, thought the meteorite belonged to her.

> The case eventually was settled out of court with Guy getting $500 to let Ann Hodges keep the meteorite. When Eugene Hodges was unable to find a buyer for it, the family used it as a doorstop for a while before donating it to the Alabama Museum of Natural History.

> the ground crew huddled shortly before the Embraer jet arrived at the gate to note that engines would remain running until the plane was connected to ground power, and the plane shouldn’t be approached until the engines were shut down and pilots turned off the beacon light.

They knew the engine was still running.

> A co-worker who saw an Alabama airport employee nearly knocked over by exhaust from a jet tried to warn her to stay back, but moments later the employee walked in front of one of the engines and was pulled in, killing her on Dec. 31, federal investigators said Monday.

Getting knocked over by the exhaust and so they walked around the front.

> He regretted that in Honduras the forests are deforested, especially by extensive cattle ranching, migratory agriculture and are affected by forest fires.

Not looking good for the future.

What happens to the ones that test positive arriving in Italy?

> At 62, she intends to board a rocket and fly into space again, but this time on a private spacecraft.

If you've got the money for a seat.

>bio-resins

A marketing term.

> there are no set standards for what it means for a product to be “green”

> There are two types of bioresin: degradable and compostable. Degradable bioresins can continually be broken down into smaller and smaller pieces—they are different from biogradable resins, because they cannot be reduced to simple biological matter.

> Duncan and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Jova Terrell, were arrested nearly two weeks ago after police tracked their car to southeast Louisiana.

> The couple reportedly lived together with Duncan's many children at an upscale home in Cypress, Texas after moving from Baton Rouge earlier this year. There the pair allegedly tormented Duncan's children, specifically a pair of 15-year-old twins who claim they were handcuffed, beaten, forced to eat their own feces and subjected to other horrifying acts of abuse

> Police said the twins, a boy and a girl, found the key to their restraints in their mother's purse, then waited for her to fall asleep before making their escape earlier this month. After getting out of the house, the pair went door to door in the middle of the night, pleading for help until someone took them in and called 911.

Why are people so horrible?

> Misuzulu Zulu ascended the throne once held by his father, Goodwill Zwelithini, who died in March 2021 after a diabetes-related illness.

> The crowning – the first South Africa has witnessed in more than 50 years – comes after a year of bitter feuding over the royal succession that has spilled into the courts.

Not how it was traditionally done I'd guess.

> Zwelithini, who died after more than 50 years in charge, left six wives and at least 28 children.

> Misuzulu is the first son of Zwelithini’s third wife, who he designated as regent in his will.

> But the queen died suddenly a month after Zwelithini, leaving a will naming Misuzulu as the next king – a development that did not go down well with other family members.

Suspicious death or just the favourite son?

> The company, which also owns Instagram and WhatsApp, is struggling as companies cut advertising budgets in the face of economic uncertainty, changes to Apple's privacy settings undercut its targeted ads, and competition from rivals such as TikTok heats up.

Good news.

> Meta continues to generate large profits - nearly $4.4bn in the three months ended in September, but it has also fended off a decline in users.

Oh...

> The company said 2.93 billion people were active on one of its platforms daily in the three months ended in September, up from 2.88 billion in the quarter before.

Not going away anytime soon then.
