At the beginning of March 1898, a Belgian research
ship became stuck in the ice of Antarctica’s Bellingshausen
sea. The Belgica ship and its crew — which included Roald
Amundsen, who later became the first man to reach the
South Pole — remained there for a year. Scientists aboard
Polarstern, a German research ship currently in the same
place, have a very different view: in the beginning of February
2023, the expedition leader said he had never seen the sea so
destituted of ice. In 2023, on February 13th, sea ice across the
Antarctic as a whole reached 1.91 million square kilometres
(m km2
), the lowest level since satellite records began in 1979.
The world is now, on average, 1.0-1.3 ºC hotter than it
was before the Industrial Revolution. However, that change
has not occurred evenly: the poles are warming faster than
regions in the middle of the globe.
Sea-ice extent around Antarctica was relatively stable
until 2014. It has been declining sharply since then. One study
by a climatologist at America’s National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA) considers that between 2014
and 2017 Antarctic sea ice receded three times as quickly as
during any comparable period in the Arctic. Antarctic sea ice
shrinks to a minimum during late February and early March,
during the southern hemisphere’s summer. It hit record lows
in 2022 and again now in 2023.
These changes have prompted much research into how
global warming is affecting Antarctica. The biggest concern is
over the enormous West Antarctic ice sheet, which is smaller
but less stable than its eastern counterpart. Scientists say that
it risks collapse if it melts beyond a certain point, which could
result in a global sea-level rise of up to three metres. It is
unlikely to happen any time soon, but increasing evidence of
instability in Antarctica’s ice sheets is cause for concern.

Car crashes into second floor
of Pennsylvania home
A man drove his car into the second floor of a
Pennsylvania home on Sunday in what officials say was an
"intentional act".
Charges are pending against the driver after police found
a grey vehicle sticking out of the side of the house in the city
of Lewistown.
Officials have not said how exactly the vehicle made its
way to the second floor.
"The pictures speak for themselves", a fire official told the
BBC.
Anywhere from one to three people were inside the home
at the time of the crash but were not injured, according to
Sam Baumgardner, an administrator at the Junction Fire
Company, which assisted in the response to the crash.
The driver was able to climb out onto the roof after the
crash and was taken to the hospital with injuries, Mr
Baumgardner said.
He added that the car likely hit the second floor because
of a culvert - a tunnel that carries a stream under a road or
railway - on the left side of the house.
The driver "went into the culvert and propelled into the air
and landed on the second floor", Mr Baumgardner said.
In a report, Lewistown police said they had determined
through an investigation that the crash was "an intentional
act".
Officials added that the driver will face charges for the
crash.
The BBC has reached out to police for comment.
The fire department said it took about three hours to
remove the car from the second floor.
"The crew that was on the rescue definitely had to think
outside the box," Mr Baumgardner said.
Rescue crews helped stabilise the house and put a tarp
over the hole from the crash because of upcoming storms,
the Junction Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.

From space, astronaut sounds the alarm about climate
crisis
The Associated Press
A French astronaut has used a video call from space to
sound the alarm about worsening repercussions from climate
change that he can see ______ the International Space
Station.
Entire regions of Earth in flames. Storms trailing
destruction in their wake. And the haunting fragility of
humanity’s only home floating like a blue — but also
tarnished — pearl in the vastness of space.
Through the portholes ______ the International Space
Station, French astronaut Thomas Pesquet has an arresting
view of global warming’s repercussions. He used a video call
from space to sound the alarm Thursday, as negotiators,
government officials and activists continued meeting at a
U.N. climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland.
“We see the pollution of rivers, atmospheric pollution,
things like that.”
“We saw entire regions burning from the space station,
______ Canada, in California,” he said. “We saw all of
California covered ______ a cloud of smoke and flames with
the naked eye from 400 kilometers (250 miles) up.”

There have been 18 opioid-related deaths in Nova Scotia so far this year
Paramedics in Nova Scotia used naloxone to save 165 people from opioid overdoses in 2018 and 188 people in 2019. In 2020,
102 people were saved as of July 31.
Eight years ago, Matthew Bonn watched his friend turn blue and become deathly quiet as fentanyl flooded his body. Bonn
jumped in, performing rescue breathing until paramedics arrived. That was the first time Bonn fought to keep someone alive during
an overdose.
But it wouldn't be his last. Over the years, he tried more dangerous ways to snap people out of an overdose.
"I remember doing crazy things like throwing people in bathtubs, or, you know, giving them cocaine. As we know now, that
doesn't help," said Bonn, a harm-reduction advocate in Halifax. "But ... in those panic modes, you try to do whatever you can to keep
that person alive."
This was before naloxone – a drug that can reverse an opioid overdose – became widely available to the public. In 2017, the
Nova Scotia government made kits with the drug available for free at pharmacies.
Whether used by community members or emergency crews, naloxone has helped save hundreds of lives in the province.
Matthew Bonn is a program co-ordinator with the Canadian Association of People Who Use Drugs, and a current drug user
himself.
Almost every other day in Nova Scotia, paramedics and medical first responders in the province use the drug to reverse an
opioid overdose, according to Emergency Health Services (EHS).

L2 learning strategies are specific behaviors or thought processes that students use to enhance their own L2 learning. One of the six major groups of L2 learning strategies identified by Oxford (1990) is the one which comprises the “compensatory strategies”, that is, strategies that help the learner make up for missing knowledge. Each instance of L2 use is an opportunity for more L2 learning. Oxford and Ehrman (1995) demonstrated that compensatory strategies are significantly related to L2 proficiency in their study of native-English-speaking learners of foreign languages.
