Melting ice sheets, especially in Greenland, are changing the distribution of weight on Earth. This has caused both the North Pole and the wobble, which is called polar motion. “If we lose mass from the Greenland ice sheet, we are essentially putting mass elsewhere.

And that’s what we mean by polar motion,” said Surendra Adhikari, a researcher with Caltech and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory who conducted the work with his colleague Erik Ivins....

The case against Punkt SE was filed by Prosecutor Fredrik Ingblad in 2013. Ingblad is the man behind the operation the raid on Nacka Data Center in December which knocked TPB for almost 3 months.

Simply based on the essential concept of a battery where there is a positive and negative terminal, electrons are generated by chemical reactions inside the battery and accumulate the negative terminal because they are negatively charged. The electrons will flow to the positive terminal once a wire is connected between the two terminals. This wouldn’t be helpful all by itself, but the wire usually also connects a “load”—a light bulb, a motor, a radio circuit—and the energy is connected to power that device....
