MONTREAL Montreal was home to some people who really like pike on Saturday. That s when the city got a fishy feeling, hosting hundreds of anglers who were hoping to land the biggest catch. It was the seventh annual Pike Tournament, though like all activities, even fishing has to make some adjustments for the COVID era, especially after last year s edition was cancelled. “This year, we took the bull by the horns and we did it,” said Muskie s Canada Montreal chapter chairman Pierre Masson. “We did it right because it s a big success.” While the fishing was real, the tournament was remote, with participants taking pictures of their catch with an official measurement board for submission. The photo is then submitted to an app. The team with the longest combined length of two fish takes home the prize.
8 Art Experiences in Chapel Hill To Enjoy This Month
This week brought the return of the solar flare to our skies. And with that, signs of spring are popping up in gardens, rhythms are energized by longer days, and warmer temperatures are taking us outside again. We’re still in the tight grasp of the beastly pandemic but what we’ve learned from the past year in isolation is the need for the arts remains alive.

The Town of Chapel Hill’s Community Arts & Culture division is one of these groups, established just a few years ago to advance local interests around creating a more vibrant and inclusive community.

By now it s well understood that climate change leads to rising seas and rising temperatures. It is also increasingly linked to rising conflicts.
In 2014, the Pentagon issued a major report that referred to climate change as both posing immediate risks to U.S. national security and being a threat multiplier because it has the potential to exacerbate many of the challenges we are dealing with today from infectious disease to terrorism.
Last year, Stanford University convened a group of top climate scientists, political scientists, economists and historians to examine the degree to which climate change has exacerbated conflicts in the past century. While it concluded that climate has had a limited effect on conflicts to date less than factors like low socioeconomic development, weak governments and social inequalities their study projected that warming of 2 degrees Celsius and beyond will substantially increase the risk of armed conflict.
