TwitterWhat happens in the vast stretches of the world's oceans - both wondrous and worrisome - has too often been out of sight, out of mind. The sea represents the last major scientific frontier on planet earth - a place where expeditions continue to discover not only new species, but even new phyla. The role of these species in the ecosystem, where they sit in the tree of life, and how they respond to environmental changes really do constitute mysteries of the deep. Despite technological advances that now allow people to access, exploit or affect nearly all parts of the ocean, we still understand very little of the ocean's biodiversity and how it is changing under our influence. The goal of the research presented here is to estimate and visualize, for the first time, the global impact humans are having on the ocean's ecosystems. Our analysis, published in Science, February 15, 2008 (http://doi.org/10.1126/science.1149345), shows that over 40% of the world's oceans are heavily affected by human activities and few if any areas remain untouched. This dataset contains raw stressor data from 17 different human activities that directly or indirectly have an impact on the ecological communities in the ocean's ecosystems. For more information on specific dataset, see the methods section. All data are projected in WGS 1984 Mollweide.

TwitterThe FIFA World Cup, often simply called the World Cup, is an international association football competition contested by the senior men's national teams of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the sport's global governing body. The championship has been awarded every four years since the inaugural tournament in 1930, except in 1942 and 1946 when it was not held because of the Second World War. The current champion is Argentina, which won its third title at the 2022 tournament in Qatar.
The current format involves a qualification phase, which takes place over the preceding three years, to determine which teams qualify for the tournament phase. In the tournament phase, 32 teams, including the automatically qualifying host nation(s), compete for the title at venues within the host nation(s) over about a month.
The 22 World Cup tournaments have been won by eight national teams. Brazil has won five times, and they are the only team to have played in every tournament. The other World Cup winners are Germany and Italy, with four titles each; Argentina with three, France, and inaugural winner Uruguay, with two titles each; and England and Spain, with one title each.
The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world, as well as the most widely viewed and followed single sporting event in the world. The cumulative viewership of all matches of the 2006 World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet.
18 countries have hosted the World Cup. Brazil, France, Italy, Germany, and Mexico have each hosted twice, while Uruguay, Switzerland, Sweden, Chile, England, Argentina, Spain, the United States, Japan, and South Korea (jointly), South Africa, Russia, and Qatar have each hosted once. The 2026 tournament will be jointly hosted by Canada, the United States, and Mexico, which will give Mexico the distinction of being the first country to host games in three World Cups.
This Dataset consists of Records from all the previous Football World Cups (1930 to 2022)

Global data for marine ecosystems are largely non-existent; here we used available data for several ecosystems, modeled the distribution of many other ecosystems, and assumed a uniform distribution for several intertidal ecosystems for which no data exist. We recognize that differences exist in how people classify ecosystems; for example, estuaries are often considered an ecosystem, but here we focus on the ecosystems (also often labeled ‘habitats’) that occur within estuaries (salt marsh, intertidal mud, beach, soft sediment, mangroves, etc.). All ecosystem data were represented at 1 km2 resolution. This dataset contains maps for 20 distinct marine ecosystems used in the impacts model. More information on data sources can be found in the methods section.
