☆ Shania Twain says the country music industry has regressed for women artists
  + stars: | 2023-03-10 | by ( Jenni Reid | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
"You know, male executives, most of the studio musicians were men, most of the managers were men, it was just more male-dominated in every sense. She recalled bracing herself to enter rooms with her female manager, and experiencing sexism and challenges that male artists weren't coming up against. They were embracing my way of making my music and my way of visualizing my music through photography and videos." Twain said this is shown by fewer new female artists emerging in country music than there once were, while the charts are typically dominated by men — or women collaborating with men. "Total annual spins" for male artists in radio's year-end reports increased from 5.8 million in 2000 to 10.3 million in 2018 for male artists; as spins for women fell from 2.8 million to 1.1 million over the same period.

☆ Map shows the ice sheets and glaciers melting that scientists most fear will be the source of catastrophic rising sea levels

Melting ice that could tip sea level rise into catastrophic levelsSource: NASA Ice ViewerChart: Annie Fu/InsiderWhile it's easier to plan for a steady sea level rise, scientists are very concerned about what would happen if huge chunks of ice collapse and abruptly change sea levels. The Antarctic ice sheet is much bigger than the ice sheet on Greenland. If they were to melt totally, the Greenland ice sheet would contribute about 23 ft to the sea levels, while the Antarctic ice sheet holds enough ice to raise sea levels by 58 feet. Local sea level variationGlobal mean sea level rise is only a snapshot of the whole picture. Because sea levels are influenced by the local environment, the sea level rise can be much higher locally than it is on a global scale.
☆ New UK PM Rishi Sunak is a child of privilege, married into almost $1 billion in tech money, and takes over a country struggling to afford heating
