An indigenous approach to managing bushfires
The indigenous approach is to manage the landscape with so-called “cool, slow” controlled burns often conducted at night. They’re designed to reduce dangerous fuel loads of scrub and fallen timber on forest floors, and incrementally tackle large tracts of land with multiple small-scale burns. Such an approach is more labor intensive and takes longer. But the lower intensity and slow progress of the fire gives animals chance to escape and protects the forest canopy.https://amp-insurancejournal-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/amp.insurancejournal.com/news/international/2019/12/17/551546.htm

Social media can be used to match you to your desired occupation
Many people desire an occupation that aligns with who they are as an individual. New research has found evidence that occupations have distinctive psychological profiles, which can successfully be predicted from linguistic information unobtrusively collected through social media. These findings indicate that social media can be used to match people to their ideal occupation, with implications for career guidance for new graduates, disengaged employees, career changers, and the unemployed.For jobs that are disappearing due to automation, a data-driven atlas could reveal which emerging occupations are aligned with those that are disappearing, based on one’s personality.https://www.pnas.org/content/116/52/26459
