Jameson Lobb, a 24-year-old investment banker from Toronto, was just one week into his new job on Wall Street. Over the past month, he'd been settling in to the New York City apartment he was sharing with his college buddy, an artificial intelligence engineer named Raphael Jafri.
Now, on Oct. 4, 2021, the two were squeezing in a lunchtime workout on Pier(码头) 15. overlooking the East River, when Lobb froze. "Somebody's in the water," he said. Before Jafri could respond, Lobb climbed over the rail at the edge of the pier and leaped into the cold, polluted water without taking the time to remove his shoes.
Jafri didn't need to see the victim. Maybe Lobb saw someone in the water who needs our help, he thought. Or maybe it's Lobb who needs my help. Either way, I'm going in. He took off his shoes and swan-dived.
Approaching the unconscious victim, Lobb saw that it was a middle-aged man. When at last they reached Pier 15, they faced a new uncertainty. How-to get out? On the pier, a crowd had gathered. From somewhere, the onlookers produced a rope and a life preserver(救生圈), which they threw to Jafri and Lobb. With the two men pushing from below and the crowd pulling from above, the man's dangling body slowly rose until helping hands pulled him onto the pier.
From the metal beam 梁), Lobb climbed up onto the pier, but Jafri remained in the water a few minutes more, until he was rescued by the Coast Guard. Both men, Jafn in particular, thoroughly exhausted from 15-plus minutes in the water and bleeding from numerous barnacle cuts, watched as rescue workers loaded the nearly drowned man into an ambulance and drove away.
In place of that knowledge, they have a story they get to tell now, another experience that has further enhanced their bond. Lots of people were on the piers that day, yet only the two of them jumped in the water — because, they say, they were the fittest people there and, so, had a moral responsibility.
"If I know I'm capable," Lobb says, "why wouldn't I help?" Jafri adds, laughing, "Peoplealways say‘If your friend jumps off a cliff, are you jumping?' I think I answered that one."
A shadowy figure sits alone in a room, his face dimly lit by a computer screen. With a grin, he types in a series of computer commands, and in the blink of an eye, someone's bank account is drained to zero.
In today's digital age, cyberattacks like this happen thousands of times per day. Hackers can steal money, information, or completely take control of a machine from anywhere in the world. However, not all hackers are villains.
Some hackers, called white hat or ethical hackers, are individuals who make the most of their hacking skills to identify security vulnerabilities(漏洞) in hardware, software and networks. Their job is crucial in preventing cyberattacks and safeguarding sensitive information. The term "white hat" originated from old cowboy movies, where heroes wore white hats and villains wore black ones. Like the heroes in cowboy movies, white hats seek to stop the bad guys and save the day.
White hat hackers only seek vulnerabilities legally, often working on open-source software or with authorized access to systems. Once these weak spots are identified, companies or individuals can take steps to prevent serious breaches and losses. White hat hackers use a variety of different techniques to keep the internet safe. Penetration testing, for example, allows them to mimic cyberattacks and uncover system weaknesses. Security scanning tools allow white hats to identify holes in a network's security systems. Simulating denial-of-service attacks (DoS attacks)helps companies prepare for attacks against their websites.
Many of the world's top white hat hackers began their journeys on the wrong side of the law. A prime example is Kevin Mitnick. This notorious hacker once held the title of "most wanted hacker" in the U. S. due to his cybercriminal activities in 1995. However, after being arrested and spending five years in jail, his life took a remarkable turn. Mitnick decided to use his hacking skills for ethical purposes, eventually establishing his own cybersecurity consulting company.
If you aspire to be a white hat hacker, start by building a strong foundation in computer and network fundamentals. Good luck, computer cowboy!
European wildcats could be reintroduced to England more than 200 years after they became extinct in the country. The project has been announced by UK wildlife charity Wildwood Trust.
European wildcats are one of the UK's rarest mammals. The only wild population, numbering fewer than 300 individuals, lives in the Scottish Highlands but they are on the verge of extinction, partly because they have bred with local feral cats (wild-living domestic cats).
Supporters hope to save the species in the UK by reintroducing them to England and Wales, where they died out around 200 years ago because of hunting and loss of habitat. To bring bac the species, Wildwood Trust is planning to build 10 new breeding facilities on two sltes in Kent and Devon. Kittens bred in captivity but away from humans will then be released into the wild. The University of Exeter is researching places where the animals could be reintroduced.
European wildcats are around the same size as a large domestic cat, but at up to eight kilograms they are slightly adult heavier. They have a tabby - like pattern with thick black stripes on their bodies and a bushy tail and like to live in forests but near open grassland. They're also famously shy and keep their distance from humans. Laura Gardner, director of conservation at Wildwood Trust, told The Times newspaper that people should not be worried by the thought of wildcats returning to the wild. "We're not talking about wolves," she said.
Wildwood Trust says that its project can benefit both the wildcats and the habitats where they live. They are one of the few native predators left in the UK, so a healthy population of wildcats could help to control the numbers of animals they prey on, such as rabbits and rodents. By competing for the same food as foxes, they will also help to reduce fox numbers and restore a balance to nature.
How to prevent stress from turning into depression
A few years ago, I had a bad day at work. My boss and I disagreed on a major financial investment and the conversation escalated. And I took those comments personally. The good news is that there are ways to prevent feelings of discomfort from turning into depression.
Change the scene
Go outside, go to the bathroom, call a friend, take a few deep breaths. I didn't realize I had done this after my fight with my boss. Just noticing the trees and the birds around me got me out of my head.
Recount what happened
This can help discover what is exactly giving you depression and remember the details you may have overlooked that can add to the situation. Do this with a friend, a family member, a therapist, or even yourself. You can also talk out loud as you walk your dog.
Name your emotions
As you describe what happened, name your emotions. For example, instead of saying you simply feel "bad," maybe you actually feel "indifferent." I turned to a therapist to help me unpack my fight with my boss. She helped me realize that it wasn't my boss or the argument that was making me upset, but the feeling of being dismissed and made to feel small. .
Identify your causes
Examine what gives you discomfort. For example, if you have terrible road rage, you may have a conversation with yourself about it. You might ask yourself. Why am I prone to being so angry on the road? Is it because I am in a rush? Or is it because I hate sitting in traffic? To avoid being rushed, maybe leave the house a half hour early. To avoid traffic, ask your boss if you can work from home a couple times a week.
So now, when I find myself in this circumstance, I tell the other person that I need time and space to consider their feedback. And that I'll come back to them when I'm ready. This helps me feel more in control of my feelings.
A Then, find ways to improve the situation.
B. Go over your situation again and create a narrative.
C. That allowed me to see a different perspective on the issue.
D. I had trouble sleeping and focusing, and I felt like I was on high alert.
E They criticized me and said that I just didn't have enough experience.
F When you are not feeling good, your body is trying to tell you something.
G After our argument, I left the office immediately and went for a long walk.
