Climate change is real, and from 10-13 November 2019, Les Roches hosted the Environment Festival 2019 to highlight the existential challenge we face. The four-day event saw a range of Q&A sessions with eminent professionals, debates, workshops and a Climate Change Challenge all centred around sustainability in hospitality and beyond.
New data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory has provided stringent constraints on the environment around one of the closest supernovas discovered in decades. The Chandra results provide insight into possible cause of the explosion, as described in our press release. On January 21, 2014, astronomers witnessed a supernova soon after it exploded in the Messier 82, or M82, galaxy. Telescopes across the globe and in space turned their attention to study this newly exploded star, including Chandra. Astronomers determined that this supernova, dubbed SN 2014J, belongs to a class of explosions called “Type Ia” supernovas. These supernovas are used as cosmic distance-markers and played a key role in the discovery of the Universe’s accelerated expansion, which has been attributed to the effects of dark energy. Scientists think that all Type Ia supernovas involve the detonation of a white dwarf. One important question is whether the fuse on the explosion is lit when the white dwarf pulls too much material from a companion star like the Sun, or when two white dwarf stars merge. This image contains Chandra data, where low, medium, and high-energy X-rays are red, green, and blue respectively. The boxes in the bottom of the image show close-up views of the region around the supernova in data taken prior to the explosion (left), as well as data gathered on February 3, 2014, after the supernova went off (right). The lack of the detection of X-rays detected by Chandra is an important clue for astronomers looking for the exact mechanism of how this star exploded. The non-detection of X-rays reveals that the region around the site of the supernova explosion is relatively devoid of material. This finding is a critical clue to the origin of the explosion. Astronomers expect that if a white dwarf exploded because it had been steadily collecting matter from a companion star prior to exploding, the mass transfer process would not be 100% efficient, and the white dwarf would be immersed in a cloud of gas. If a significant amount of material were surrounding the doomed star, the blast wave generated by the supernova would have struck it by the time of the Chandra observation, producing a bright X-ray source. Since they do not detect any X-rays, the researchers determined that the region around SN 2014J is exceptionally clean. A viable candidate for the cause of SN 2014J must explain the relatively gas-free environment around the star prior to the explosion. One possibility is the merger of two white dwarf stars, in which case there might have been little mass transfer and pollution of the environment before the explosion. Another is that several smaller eruptions on the surface of the white dwarf cleared the region prior to the supernova. Further observations a few hundred days after the explosion could shed light on the amount of gas in a larger volume, and help decide between these and other scenarios. A paper describing these results was published in the July 20 issue of The Astrophysical Journal and is available online. The first author is Raffaella Margutti from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA) in Cambridge, MA, and the co-authors are Jerod Parrent (CfA), Atish Kamble (CfA), Alicia Soderberg (CfA), Ryan Foley (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), Dan Milisavljevic (CfA), Maria Drout (CfA), and Robert Kirshner (CfA).

Out of the total precipitation reaching Nigeria, it can be separated into green and blue water. Green water (79% of the precipitation) represents the fraction of rainfall that generates soil moisture and which supports terrestrial ecosystems. It is not returned to groundwater and rivers, but will eventually evaporate or transpire through plants. Blue water, on the other hand, represents the fraction (21%) of the precipitation that runs into rivers and aquifers, and that has a potential for withdrawal for societal use. Out of this, the environmental water flow is the amount of water needed to sustain ecosystem services. In the case of Nigeria, there is a huge potential to increase the withdrawal for irrigation and food production to meet current and future needs.

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

Employees supported a special Earth Month celebration with the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Around 100 volunteers supported this important environmental organisation through either gardening with the horticulture team, or lantern making for their award-winning winter lantern trails. The activities ended with a lunch and talk from Kew Director of Science, Alex Antonelli on biodiversity.

See the "Sundance/Slamdance Film Festivals Part Two" video
The second of two episodes with Pepperspray/Indymedia producer Patricia Boiko covering this years Sundance/Slamdance film festivals.First Patricia interviews film maker Virginia Williams, whose documentary, "FRONTRUNNER", played at Slamdance this year. The film looks at Dr. Massouda Jalal, the woman who ran for president of Afghanistan after the Taliban fell. You didn't know a woman ran for president of Afghanistan? That's why you watch "Indymedia Presents"!http://www.frontrunnermovie.comNext Patricia talks with John Ealer, whose movie "View From the Bridge" also played at Slamdance. His flick, which he made about Kosovo, tries to answer the question "How do you envision peace when all you remember is war?" The film is about peacemaking, and finding one's way back to humanity after great horror. As the film points out, "Peace is for the brave."http://www.kosovomovie.comhttp://www.slamdance.comhttp://www.sundance.org/festival"Indymedia Presents" is Pepperspray Video Collective

The People’s Recovery Summit a is three-day conference consisting of workshops, speeches followed by discussions, trainings and a collaborative effort to construct a unified peoples’ recovery statement.
The focus is on the grassroots community of New York City, inclusive of a spectrum of organizers, volunteers, activists, and storm-impacted residents. The conference is informed by the concept that the people are empowered by the collective, and the collective is empowered by fostering discussion, collaboration and sharing.
The programming centers on five major themes - economics, environment, wellness, education, and organizing - which are designed to prepare all stakeholders to shape the ongoing processes of recovery and rebuilding. The program consists of special workshops, themed workshops, trainings, resource circles,entertainment, three meals a day, and a culminating general assembly
