An enormous floating device designed by Dutch scientists for the non-profit Ocean Cleanup successfully captured and removed plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, the company announced Wednesday.

Ocean Cleanup has been hard at work on creating a device to attack the plastic waste crisis for seven years, by creating a device that captures plastic in its fold like a giant arm.
The company announced that it was able to capture and hold debris ranging from large cartons, crates and abandoned fishing gear - or "ghosts nets," which are a scourge to marine life - to microplastics that are as small as one millimeter.
Protests spontaneously occur outside Northside Dunkin Donuts.
As predicted, Dunkin Donuts on North Salina Street faced a problem with national implications. As the Social Media displayed outrage after a live video that apparently shows a Dunkin Donuts employee berating and then dousing the homeless man with a pitcher of water. The video has since gone viral.
Orius (the balance of values - professional, personal and relationship (not only violated our written policies, but goes against our core values)) trine Aphidas (kind, compassionate, empathetic, "walk a mile" in the other person's shoes consciousness) sextile Nessus (generous, benevolent, compassionate, willing to lend a helping hand (A GoFundMe campaign organized on behalf of Dufresne has raised nearly $15,000)).
Online, people began a campaign, calling the Dunkin Donuts phone simply saying, "Fix this!" The cause picked up momentum when Al-Amin Muhammad of We Rise Above the Streets, went live on Facebook as the community activist asked questions regarding the treatment of a homeless person.
After suspending the suspected employees seen and heard in the video, the Walak Group local Dunkin' Donuts franchise decided to fire the staff involved in the incident.
Cannabis recovered in the aerial operation in the top of the south.
More than 9000 cannabis plants have been seized by South Island police as part of an ongoing operation. Around 6000 "healthy" plants were taken and destroyed in Nelson-Marlborough, while more than 3000 were taken on the West Coast, police say.

The Air Force was also involved in the year-long operation. The seizure is bigger than in a similar operation last year and included large commercial outdoor plots are well as indoor growing operations.
Discovery
1993 HA2/7066 Nessus is a centaur (a type of icy minor planet) that was discovered by David L. Rabinowitz, working with Spacewatch, at Kitt Peak on 26 April 1993. It was the second centaur found by him (5145 Pholus being his previous find), and the third centaur discovery (2060 Chiron, discovered by Charles Kowal in 1977, was the first).
7066 Nessus has an orbital period of 122.4 years, an eccentricity of 0.52 and an inclination to the ecliptic of 15.6 degrees. At perihelion, it moves much closer to the Sun than Uranus, while at aphelion it moves out well beyond the orbit of Neptune.
This minor planet was named after Nessus, a centaur from Greek mythology, who poisoned and was killed by the divine hero Heracles.
