River barriers made up of natural materials like trees, branches, logs and leaves can reduce flooding in at-risk communities by storing water upstream, new research has found. The study, led by scientists from Cardiff University and the University of Worcester, assessed the impact of leaky barriers at a natural flood management site on a small Shropshire river over a period of two years. Human-made leaky barriers, which are designed to imitate beaver dams, work in units of 50-100, deliberately raising water levels upstream to slow down river flow through storage and diversion, providing ecological benefits to the river corridor and on nearby farmland.

Customers place their orders at kiosks installed at a fast-food restaurant in Seoul. [YONHAP] The growing use of digital kiosks is no longer confined to busy city centers in Korea — they have extended their reach to business districts in smaller neighborhoods thanks to their cost efficiency. Jeong Wook, a 42-year-old office worker, frequently visits a local Chinese restaurant but doesn't know the faces of the restaurant staff. This is because he places orders through kiosks available at each table.

John Wick: Chapter 4 is more like 'Action Ballet' and this is a term I have create after seeing John Wick: Chapter 4. This movie is so fluid in its action sequences, choreography, and stunts. It has become a canvas or art form for what the future holds for action-based movies in Hollywood. In reality, Keanu Reeves who plays John Wick has become an action star in modern times! Perhaps, he is the most polished non-Asian martial arts-based actor who fights in movies in Hollywood because he has trained in several forms of martial arts and he undergoes intense training and preparation months ahead of each John Wick movie.
