【推荐3】DINERS

TONY SOPRANO’S LAST MEAL

Between 1912 and the 1990s, New Jersey State was home to more than 20 diner manufacturers who made probably 95 percent of the diners in the U.S, says Katie Zavoski, who is helping hold a diner exhibit. What makes a diner a diner? (And not, say, a coffee shop?) Traditionally, a diner is built in a factory and then delivered to its own town or city rather than constructed on-site. Zavoski credits New Jersey’s location as the key to its mastery of the form. “It was just the perfect place to manufacture the diners,” she says. “We would ship them wherever we needed to by sea.”

GOOD FOOD, GOOD TUNES

Suzanne Vega's 1987 song “Tom's Diner” is probably best known for its frequently sampled “doo doo doo doo” melody rather than its diner-related lyrics. Technically, it’s not even really about a diner — the setting is New York City’s Tom's Restaurant, which Vega frequented when she was studying at Bamard. Vega used the word “diner” instead because it “sings better that way,” she told The New York Times. November 18 has since been called Tom’s Diner Day, because on that day in 1981, the New York Post's front page was a story about the death of actor William Holden. In her song Vega sings: “I Open /Up the paper/There’s a story /Of an actor /Who had died/While he was drinking.”

MEET THE DINER ANTHROPOLOGIST

Richard J.S. Gutman has been called the “Jane Goodall of diners” (he even consulted on Barry Levinson’s 1982 film, Diner).His book, American Diner: Then Now, traces the evolution of the “night lunch wagon,” set up by Walter Scott in 1872, to the early 1920s, when the diner got its name (adapted from “dining car”), and on through the 1980s.Gutman has his own diner facilities (floor plans, classic white mugs, a cashier booth); 250 of these items are part of an exhibit in Rhode Island.

【推荐2】You can’t hide a natural disaster from children, so how do we prepare them for it? First of all, you should explain to them that acts of nature aren’t necessarily disasters but can become one. These may include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms, wild fires, and earthquakes. The way to prepare children for these disasters is to educate them about what each type is and then make it fun by making them “Disaster Masters” or whatever title you can think of.

Making them a Disaster Master won’t be easy. They must know what’s in a disaster emergency kit(工具箱) and why it’s included. You can get your friends involved, too. If your friends have children, they may want to be involved in your emergency preparations. Make it a group project. This is the opportunity for everyone to become familiar with the equipment.

We have to be aware of our conduct and the way we react to stress. The children will be easily influenced by your attitude and demeanor. The calmness, steady manner, and good humor of your spouse (配偶) and you will go a long way toward the easing or the reduction of stress.

Explain to them what they’re likely to encounter or see and describe how people may react. Disasters can come and go very quickly and generally don’t last long. If you must stay away from home, try to get into a routine quickly and encourage them to make new friends. Let them know they can look to their parents and other adults if they become scared or confused. And it’s important to let them know it’s OK to cry during a disaster.

It’s sometimes helpful to let the children draw pictures of what they’ve experienced. Encourage them to write what they learned and what could have been done better. Save the story. Make it part of a documented family history!

However, one that started in September 2019 continued to burn till July 2020, and it might not be natural at all. The fire burned 73,000 square kilometers of land, killing at least 28 people and burning up more than 3,000 homes, reported the Telegraph. Scientists said that man-made climate change played a role in the fire’s creation and duration (持续时间).

According to Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology, the country’s temperatures have risen by more than 1℃ since 1920. The spring of 2019 was Australia’s driest in 120 years. In December, the country saw its hottest day ever, with an average temperature of 41.9 ℃.

“Due to evaporation (蒸发) in warmer temperatures, the plants and the soils dry out more quickly,” Stefan Rahmstorf, an author of the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fourth Assessment Report, told Times.

Even worse, “Wildfires like this might become ‘normal conditions’ in the future,” the researchers at Britain Bureau of Meteorology said to BBC, “We have looked at 57 research papers published since 2013, which examined the relationship between climate change and the risk of wildfires, and have found that the link between the two has already been observed in many parts of the world, including the western US, Canada, southern Europe, and even Siberia.”

“These are effects we are seeing for 1℃ of global climate change. The effects will get worse if we don’t do something with the world’s climate,” Corinne Le Quere, a professor from the University of East Anglia in Britain, told the BBC. “What we are seeing in Australia is not the ‘new normal’. It’s a sign to worse effects. We must take some effective action now. We can’t wait any longer.”
