内容摘要：Umaga was born in New Zealand to Samoan parents and played 74 tests for the All Blacks before an extensive coaching career that led to him guiding Moana Pasifika in Super Rugby Pacific. He has history with the Lions, with his tackle on Brian O’Driscoll in the 2005 series in New Zealand being one of the most scrutinized moments of that tour.

unleashed tornadoes, strong winds and extreme rainfall in the central Mississippi Valley region from April 3-6 and caused at least 24 deaths.and 15 deaths were likely caused by catastrophic floods.

The WWA analysis found that climate change increased rainfall intensity in the storms by 9% and made them 40% more likely compared to probability of such events in the pre-industrial age climate.Some of the moisture that fueled the storms came from the Gulf of Mexico, where water temperatures were abnormally warm by 1.2°C (2.2°F) compared to pre-industrial temperatures. That warming was made 14 times more likely due to climate change, according to the researchers from universities and meteorological agencies in the United States and Europe.Rapid analyses from the WWA use peer-reviewed methods to study an extreme weather event and distill it down to the factors that caused it. This approach lets scientists analyze which contributing factors had the biggest influence and how the event could have played out in a world without climate change.

The analysis found a rainfall event of April’s intensity could occur in the central Mississippi Valley region about once every 100 years. Even heavier downpours are expected to hit the region in the future unless the world rapidly slashes emissions of polluting gases such as carbon dioxide and methane that causes temperatures to rise, the study said.“That one in 100 years … is likely to go down to once every few decades,” said Ben Clarke, a researcher at the Centre for Environmental Policy at Imperial College London and the study’s lead author. “If we continue to burn fossil fuels, events like this will not only continue to occur, but they’ll keep getting more dangerous.”

Heavier and more persistent rainfall is expected with climate change because the atmosphere holds more moisture as it warms. Warming ocean temperatures result in higher evaporation rates, which means more moisture is available to fuel storms.

Forecast information and weather alerts from the National Weather Service communicated the risks of the April heavy rain days in advance, which the WWA says likely reduced the death toll. But workforce and budget cuts made by the Trump administration have leftThe beginnings of the Bermondsey Beer Mile date to 2009, when craft brewer The Kernel opened the first brewing site in the area. Since then, the Mile has sprung up in piecemeal fashion. Breweries change location or close, replaced by new ones.

Many of the breweries have found wider success and moved on after outgrowing the space limitations of the railway viaduct arches. But there are always new bars and breweries cropping up, offering live music, table tennis and even skateboarding. The bustling atmosphere shows that 16 years on from its launch, the Bermondsey Beer Mile is still one of London’s best drinking destinations.People queue to enter “It ain’t much, if it ain’t Dutch” Dutch Taproom on the Bermondsey Beer Mile in south London, Saturday March 8, 2025.
