The differences between the Trump and the Biden administrations' approach to climate change could not be starker. The Trump administration often characterized climate change as a hoax, withdrew the United States from the Paris Agreement, and rolled back many policies that sought to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. In contrast, President Biden asserts that we "confront a profound climate crisis " and has vowed to place climate change at the center of his administration.
This is a smart strategy, one that offers the best chance to build the domestic coalition needed to address climate crisis given the current realities of the carbon-climate cleavage. Moreover, the administration's full-spectrum approach to the crisis provides the solid foundation the United States needs to re-emerge as a leading force in global climate change cooperation.
The Story Behind Princess Diana's Ultimate Fashion Weapon: "Cleavage Bags" – CR
Some people have security blankets, others have handbags. Princess Diana was a frequent user of the latter, specifically through the doting of her very own terminology: "cleavage bags." In order to avoid raunchy close-ups or a potential slip, Diana would cleverly use a clutch purse to cover her chest when exiting a car. A subtle move that perhaps prevented an additional wave of negative and exploitative press.
A classic example of the trick is her limo exit for the 1997 'Swan Lake' performance at the Royal Albert Hall.
"Cleavage bags" were a constant staple for the princess, accompanying her looks even with slip-proof necklines.
But who was behind this clever satin clutch? From 1993 onward, Anya Hindmarch, a talented London handbag designer, was Lady Di's personal accessorizer. The dynamic duo would collaborate on each formal look of Diana's to create the ultimate matching mini-bag for maximum paparazzi deceit. Hindmarch defines her brand identity as "fashion with purpose." Princess Diana definitely took her up on that.
Madonna's daughter Lourdes flaunts cleavage and belly piercing in eye-popping snap - Daily Star
The 24-year-old looked sensational in her Story as she showed off in front of her 127,000 followers.
Lourdes is the 62-year-old Queen of Pop's eldest child and in recent years she has fronted campaigns for Stella McCartney and Marc Jacobs.
Back in 2019, Madonna told British Vogue that she is jealous of Lourdes because she is better than she is at everything she turns her hand to.
"Lola is insanely talented," she said. "I'm green with envy because she's incredible at everything she does – she's an incredible dancer, she's a great actress.
"She doesn't have the same drive, and again, I feel social media plagues her and makes her feel like 'people are going to give me things because I'm her daughter'.
"But she also has a mother, and I didn't. She grew up with money, and I didn't. So everything is going to be different. But what can I do?
She was spotted with rapper Azealia Banks, 29, and Housewife Leah McSweeney, 38, at the premiere party on Tuesday night.
Lourdes showed her cheeky side, flipping the bird in a photo with her music star pal as they danced the night away.

New method boosts syngas generation from biopolyols | EurekAlert! Science News

Photocatalytic biomass conversion is an ideal way of generating syngas (H 2 and CO) via C-C bond cleavage, which is initiated by hydrogen abstraction of O/C-H bond. However, the lack of efficient electron-proton transfer limits its efficiency. Conversional gasification of biomass into syngas needs to be operated at high temperature (400-700 °C).
Recently, a group led by Prof. WANG Feng from the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (DICP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), in collaboration with Prof. WANG Min from Dalian University of Technology, proposed a new method to realize photocatalytic conversion of biopolyols to syngas at room temperature with high efficiency.
The researchers prepared surface sulfate ions modified CdS catalyst ([SO 4 ]/CdS), which could simultaneously increase both the electron and proton transfer, thereby facilitating the generation of syngas mixture from biopolyols with high activity and selectivity.
In situ characterizations combined with theoretical calculations demonstrated that the surface sulfate ion [SO 4 ] was bifunctional, serving as the proton acceptor to promote proton transfer, and increasing the oxidation potential of the valence band to enhance electron transfer.
Compared with pristine CdS, [SO 4 ]/CdS exhibited 9-fold higher CO generation rate and 4-fold higher H 2 generation. Through this method, a wide range of sugars, such as glucose, fructose, maltose, sucrose, xylose, lactose, insulin, and starch, were facilely converted into syngas.
This study reveals the pivotal effect of surface sulfate ion on electron-proton transfer in photocatalysis and provides a facile method for increasing photocatalytic efficiency.

Princess Diana Secretly Criticized the Royal Family in 1 Speech She Gave
Princess Diana did not hide her grievances with the royal family. In the 1990s, she famously gave interviews detailing her struggles as a royal and the lack of support she received. However, Diana sometimes criticized her in-laws in less obvious was as well. One speech she gave was believed to be thinly-veiled criticism directed at the royals.
The royal family has many traditions—some of them centuries old. After Diana married Prince Charles in 1981, she found herself disliking some of these traditions and rebelled against them .
For example, she occasionally broke royal dress codes. In 1994, she wore a sexy black dress that revealed a lot of her shoulder and cleavage.
Unlike other royals, Diana also had no qualms about eating with her staff. As reported by Huffpost , her chef, Darren McGrady, once shared that Diana sometimes burst into the kitchen to make food and eat with him.
Perhaps the most famous tradition Diana rebelled against was related to parenting. For generations, royals were not hands-on parents who gave their kids emotional support. However, Diana was a warm mother to her two sons and bonded with them in different ways.
"Hugging has no harmful side effects; there are potential huggers in every household,” she said, according to a Vanity Fair article from 1993. “Children are not chores, they are part of us. If we gave them the love they deserve, they would not try so hard to attract our attention."
She also added, "Children who have received the affection they deserve will usually continue to recognize how good it feels, how right it feels, and will create that feeling around them. We've all seen the families of the skilled survivors. Their strength comes from within and was put there by means of learning how to give and receive affection, without restraint or embarrassment, from their earliest days."
Although Diana did not slam the royal family, some people believe the speech was a critique of the royals' parenting traditions.
Diana reportedly acknowledged how Charles' childhood affected his ability to cope with emotions . Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip were stiff and formal at home, and Charles mostly grew up in the care of nannies.
Found: The Best Ultra Thin Underwear for Lounging About | Well+Good
Initially I was a little concerned with the construction of the garment. I’m not sure if you have the problem, but my constant conflict with microfiber-y underwear is that it falls apart at the seams, literally. After a few rewashes the glue holding the gusset in place loosens its grip, and I’m left with a weird, flopping tongue of cotton betwixt my legs. Trust me, it is far less sexy than it sounds. Somehow I’ve had no such problem with my Breathe underwear, despite wearing (and washing) it over and over and over again. This material, composed of 69 percent textured nylon, 9 percent recycled nylon, and 22 percent spandex, is strong.
The other thing I was skeptical about was how supportive the bralette would be using such a light textile. I’m a negotiable 32DD whose cup runneth over when I’m PMSing. An essentially bandless bra made from barely-there material did not seem up for that challenge. But when I put on the top, I was actually shocked by the good little snug my girls got—there’s a great balance of lift, comfort, and even a bit of cleavage. Not quite sure who will be appreciating that cleavage, but I am very grateful for it in the meantime.
But how does it work in action? I’ve spent the last few weeks wearing my Breather underwear for different activity levels (working out, grocery shopping, finishing Schitt’s Creek about a year after everyone else…) Not only was it consistently cool and comfy, but the Breathe collection is great for two things: The first is to throw under your t-shirts and shorts in the summertime—or any time, but especially if you want something light. These are going to be amazing assets for those days where it’s going to be Sweat City. Though this may not have the perfect sports bra for high-intensity workouts, it works wonders if I’m hula hooping or doing yoga. Likewise, if you have places to go, people to see, and no time to constantly adjust yourself, MeUndies Breathe is a good pick for errand running in the heat.
Beyond, I see Breathe as the easiest thing to wear when you’re lounging around the house on hot nights. Doesn’t matter if you’re binging Gossip Girl on the couch or having a “Dancing With Myself” moment in the kitchen, they’re the perfect next-to-nothing thing to put on. With that combination of surprising sturdiness, airy fabric, and overall comfiness, these babies are a breath of fresh air.
