Anne With an E fans wage digital war with Netflix over cancellation
Anne Shirley, the outspoken orphan who first appeared in Lucy Maud Montgomery’s 1908 novel, Anne of Green Gables, has since appeared in countless movies and television spinoffs – and built a loyal global following. So it should probably come as little surprise that fans of the show’s latest remake – the TV series Anne With an E – are fiercely protective of their heroine. And like Anne, they’re willing to fight for what they believe in.
The shows coproducers, Netflix and CBC, announced that the drama would be cancelled after three seasons. “People were outraged. The cast and the crew were also blindsided by it,” said Lisa E, a Toronto-based organizer with AWAE Fan Projects. “Everyone loves the show obviously. They just couldn’t believe it.” The day after the announcement, a group of fans took to Twitter with rallying cry: renew the show. The group’s most successful – and most controversial – campaign has been a digital, guerilla-style battle against the two companies.

- I have a question. What would happen if there were a beautiful and highly intelligent child up in heaven waiting to be born and his or her parents decided that the children they already had were enough?
- Your ignorance of theology and medicine is appalling!
- I still think it’s a good question!

Hero pilot safely lands passenger plane with no front
wheels as sparks fly from nose of jet
A pilot safely landed a passenger plane without using its front wheels after they failed to deploy on arrival at the airport.
Video footage of the emergency touchdown showed sparks flying from the nose of the aircraft as it slid along the runway in Myanmar.
None of the 82 passengers and seven flight crew were injured during the incident at Mandalay International Airport.
Myanmar National Airlines said in a statement that the pilot, Captain Myat Moe Aung, was alerted to the problem by the plane’s Engine Indicating and Crew Alerting System (EICAS).
He informed the control tower and tried a backup emergency procedure to pull down the wheels on the Brazilian-made Embraer 190-LR.
The pilot then carried out two fly-bys of the runway to allow air controllers to check visually whether the landing gear had deployed.
After dumping fuel to reduce the landing weight, he brought the aircraft in to land on its rear wheels before the nose slowly tipped down to make contact with the runway at 9.09am on Sunday.
“The pilot did a great job,” said Win Khant, permanent secretary of transportation and telecommunication ministry.
A video posted online by one of the passengers showed smoke spreading through the plane before they evacuated the aircraft.
Several of the passengers were smiling as they walked away from the plane.
Flight operations at the airport were suspended for several hours as a result of the incident, which is now under investigation.
“Myanmar national airlines would like to thank all passengers and our crew on board,” the company said in a statement.
Last week a Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane skidded off the runway after landing in bad weather in Yangon. At least 15 crew and passengers were injured.

Home School Tips
Many schools around the world closed because of the coronavirus. Parents must be a substitute teacher, and they learn with their children at home. It is not an easy task.
Some parents expect that their children will work as hard as they do in school. However, parents need to understand that every child is different and works at different speeds. It is important to be kind and thoughtful.
It does not have to be boring to learn. It can be fun, too. When parents teach their children math, they do not need to sit at the table and work with a book. Children can practice math during common activities such as baking or dining.
Experts also say that it is important to communicate with the school and teachers and to stay in contact with school friends.

Flooding hits parts of Midwest, with evacuations in Michigan
People living along two mid-Michigan lakes and parts of a river were evacuated Tuesday following several days of heavy rain that produced flooding and put pressure on dams in the area.
Two Midland-area schools were opened for evacuees and more than 50 roads have been closed. The evacuations in Michigan followed days of heavy rains in parts of the Midwest that also brought flooding to Chicago and other parts of Illinois, as well as Ohio and other states.
“We were laying in bed when I heard sirens,” Jon St. Croix told the Midland Daily News. “A fire truck was driving around, broadcasting that (we needed) to evacuate. It’s a scary thing — you’re sleeping and awake to sirens.”
St. Croix, 62, his wife and a next-door neighbor were among more than a dozen people sheltering in one of the schools. Their home was not flooded, but St. Croix said he had seen flooding in the area.
Volunteers at the schools said about 120 vehicles were in the parking lots and about 30 people had been staying on cots inside, according to WNEM-TV.

Woman wins Picasso painting worth €1m in raffle
An Italian woman has won a painting by Pablo Picasso, worth about €1m (£900,000; $1.1m), in a raffle after being given the ticket as a gift.
The winning ticket was pulled out during a live draw at Christie’s auction house in Paris.
The event, which was fundraising for Care charity, had been postponed twice - first to sell more tickets, and then because of coronavirus restrictions.
The prize painting, Nature Morte, is a still life from 1921.
It is a relatively small artwork - measuring 9in by 18in (23cm by 46cm) - which shows a glass of absinthe and a newspaper on a table.
In total €5.1m was raised for the charity by selling 51,000 raffle tickets at €100 each. About 29% of the tickets were sold in France, followed by the US and Switzerland.
Organisers said that €4.2m of proceeds will go towards clean water projects in schools and villages in Madagascar, Morocco and Cameroon.
David Nahmad, the billionaire collector from Monaco who supplied the Picasso painting, will be given €900,000. He also donated €100,000 to Care, organisers said.
“Picasso would have loved an operation like this, because he was someone with a lot of interest in humanitarian and social causes,” sale organiser Peri Cochin told Reuters news agency.

Os microscópios de força atômica funcionam com base na força de repulsão (Força de Coulomb) entre os núcleos atômicos e uma haste muito fina carregada, chamada de ponta de prova.
Uma dessas pontas de prova é colocada verticalmente sobre uma amostra plana fixada na horizontal. A ponta de prova varre a amostra horizontalmente, conforme figura a seguir.
Suponha que essa ponta de prova esteja carregada
positivamente e ao aproximar de um núcleo atômico meça a força
de repulsão ao mesmo. E que essa força seja marcada no eixo y do
gráfico como positiva e que o movimento de aproximação da
ponta de prova se dê no eixo x do valor -d ao valor +d. Nessas
condições, assinale a alternativa que apresenta o gráfico que
corresponde ao valor da força medida pela ponta de prova.
Um jovem preenche totalmente um recipiente retangular de vidro com fatias de pão de forma e sobre essas coloca uma camada homogênea de queijo ralado com a intenção de derretê-lo, em um forno de microondas. Como o recipiente caberia justo no interior do forno de microondas, ele retirou o prato giratório (pois não teria como girar) e colocou o recipiente diretamente no fundo do forno e o ligou.
Após o tempo normal para o derretimento do queijo, o forno é desligado e aberto. O jovem percebeu que a cobertura de queijo apresentava um padrão retangular de pontos em que o queijo derreteu e entre esses pontos o queijo não derreteu. Entre os pontos que o queijo derreteu, ele percebeu que a distância era sempre de 6,0 cm, conforme a figura:
Supondo isso ser efeito do fenômeno da formação de ondas
estacionárias entre as paredes do forno e que a velocidade de
propagação das ondas eletromagnéticas no ar seja 3x108
m/s, o
jovem calculou a frequência utilizada no gerador de microondas
desse forno. Assinale a alternativa que apresenta corretamente esse
valor.
