We’ve written a lot recently about the possibilities unleashed by interconnected technologies (broadly referred to as the Internet of Things or IoT). From smart homes that prioritize comfort and ease-of-use for homeowners to smart buildings (commercial, residential, or industrial) that integrate systems to achieve massive energy savings, the growing combination of IoT technology and solar energy is very promising.
There’s an even greater application for this technology, however - one that could help our inefficient, unstable energy infrastructure enter the modern era. Grid modernization, the effort to update an electric grid that hasn’t changed much over the last century, can incorporate IoT technology to create a more resilient, accessible, and efficient power distribution system. Here’s how:
Smart Meters are Just the Beginning
The initial application of interconnected technology to hit the grid has been the implementation of “smart meters” over the past decade or so. While not everyone is happy with the way utilities have used smart meters, they mark the beginning stages of a modern grid by making two-way communication between utilities and homes possible. This sharing of information benefits utilities, consumers, and the grid that connects them.
As Capgemini notes, “Utilities want to profitably manage supply and demand, while customers want uninterrupted service, with lower carbon emissions and greater control over usage and costs. One way of providing that greater degree of control is through information.” Smart meters allow utilities to remotely monitor energy usage to better prepare for peaks and lows and regulate the demand being placed on the grid. For consumers, smart meters provide a more detailed understanding of energy usage, including time of use pricing. For those consumers who produce their own energy through distributed generation systems, smart meters also document the flow of power back onto the grid.
But smart meters are just the first step towards building a smarter grid through innovative technology.
IoT Technologies Make the Grid Smarter
In addition to more advanced metering, the interconnected web of devices we call the Internet of Things offers greater grid stability and accessibility for renewable energy generation systems. These technologies include smart inverters for solar panels, which automatically adjust the power supply to the correct voltage, and smart thermostats, which learn usage patterns to anticipate demand (or skirt high demand periods entirely).
In terms of updating the energy transmission infrastructure to create greater stability and efficiency, many IoT technologies are being implemented. The U.S. Department of Energy writes that “Through the IoT, advanced sensors can gather new data from grid assets to give grid operators better insight into infrastructure performance; controls can work across the transmission and distribution systems that are responsive to changing grid conditions, based on shifting generation mixes, physical conditions, or security threats.” These include smart sensors that can detect areas where power is being lost, intelligent distribution transformers that can help prevent outages, and line fault indicators that can predict weaknesses and suggest areas that are in need of repair.
These technologies also enhance distributed generation system’s relationship to the grid, giving consumers who generate some (or all) of their own power more seamlessly access, whether they are drawing power or adding it. Distributed generation is a vital component of any grid modernization effort, as incorporating renewable energy reduces demand from less sustainable sources while decreasing the burden on our vulnerable infrastructure.
Growing the Smart Grid
Last year, the Department of Energy announced a $50 million award “to begin research and development of tools that can enable the next-generation of grid infrastructure,” as StateTech reports. This initiative is a response to the escalating challenges facing the grid, including increasingly unpredictable and damaging storms as well as cyber-threats that make our energy infrastructure vulnerable.
As consumers, we can contribute to grid modernization efforts through implementing our own smart home or building systems to reduce power use and save money. Solar-connected IoT devices are making the generation and storage of solar power more efficient and cost-effective than ever.

All of us, all of it! Interconnected completely. And as Julia Butterfly says, "We will never find peace on the earth until we find peace with the earth." To stop harming, diminishing, and ignoring the planet, all species, and each other is to acknowledge and love ourselves. What is good for the planet IS what is good for each of us. And the good news is - it starts with every ONE!

DMX was Reebok's answer to Nike's Air and Air Max. Air pods under the outsole, all interconnected. I found them more comfortable than the Nike Air series, but I'm not sure how much the Reebok pods did, they remained comfortable after the pods went flat, and even after they wore away.
This pair was another from the liquidation sale haul I've discussed earlier. Another pair I began wearing regularly, as I liked the different styling and because, yes, they were comfortable.
But, like some other shoes of that era,, the outsoles hardened and crumbled away within months. The blue "pods" turned out to be very durable, staying inflated for about two years after the outsoles were gone. And even when they were flat, they still remained intact until a few years ago, when they finally crumbled away, leaving the remaining midsole. Still a very comfortable, serviceable shoe. None of the midsole "rot" like many Nikes.
I should note that every pair of this color DMX of that era, clear outsoles with a purple upper, crumbled like mine did, and most of the owners kept wearing them as is, like me. And I later bought a pair of Puma Mostros with the same clear outsole that also hardened and crumbled within months of their purchase. But again, they remained perfectly wearable.
Larnaca Salt Lake (Greek: Αλυκή Λάρνακας, Turkish: Larnaka Tuz Gölü) is a complex network of four salt lakes (3 of them interconnected) of different sizes to the west of the city of Larnaca. The largest is lake Aliki, followed by lake Orphani, lake Soros and lake Spiro.They form the second largest salt lake in Cyprus after the Limassol Salt Lake. The total surface area of the lakes adds up to 2.2 km2 and being just off the road leading to Larnaca International Airport is one of the most distinctive landmarks of the area. It is considered one of the most important wetlands of Cyprus and it has been declared a Ramsar site, Natura 2000 site, Special Protected Area under the Barcelona Convention and an Important Bird Area (IBA). It is surrounded by halophytic scrubland and on its bank lies the Hala Sultan Tekke, one of the holiest of shrines within Ottoman Islam. It houses the tomb of Umm Haram, Muhammad's 'wet-nurse'.
Besides its picturesque beauty, the lake is the haunt of 85 species of water-birds with estimated populations between 20,000–38,000. It is one of the important migratory passages through Cyprus. Among them are 2,000–12,000 flamingoes (Phoenicopterus ruber) which spend the winter months there feeding off populations of the brine shrimp Artemia salina.

"Escape the bustle of the City exploring interconnected Moore Park, Park Drive and Vale of Avoca ravines. These natural areas and their streams provide a haven for wildlife, including raccoons, chipmunks, rabbits, skunks, snakes, frogs, many bird species, and even deer. Today, municipal by-laws protect these ravines and the City is restoring much of the vegetation."

The Majesty and Importance of Trees: A Verdant Tapestry of Life
Introduction
The Earth, a living oasis of intricate ecosystems and interconnected life forms, owes much of its beauty, balance, and vitality to the presence of trees. Trees, often referred to as the lungs of the Earth, have existed for millions of years, quietly playing a pivotal role in sustaining life on our planet. This essay aims to explore the multifaceted significance of trees in our world, covering their ecological, economic, cultural, and aesthetic importance, as well as addressing the threats they face and the efforts taken for their preservation.
Ecological Importance of Trees
Trees are integral components of various ecosystems, forming intricate relationships with other organisms and the environment. Through the process of photosynthesis, trees convert carbon dioxide into oxygen, providing the very air we breathe. This oxygen production is crucial for maintaining the delicate balance of atmospheric gases necessary for all life forms. Furthermore, trees absorb harmful pollutants and play a vital role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon dioxide, thereby combating the greenhouse effect.
Forests, teeming with a rich diversity of flora and fauna, owe their existence to the presence of trees. These ecosystems provide habitats for countless species, facilitating intricate food webs and biodiversity. From tropical rainforests to temperate woodlands, trees support an array of animal species, serving as shelter, nesting sites, and sources of nourishment. The intricate web of life that trees sustain reminds us of the interconnectedness of all living beings.
Economic Importance of Trees
Beyond their ecological significance, trees have considerable economic value. Forests contribute significantly to economies worldwide through timber production, a renewable resource that forms the basis of numerous industries. The logging industry, while essential, must be managed sustainably to ensure the long-term viability of forests and the ecosystems they support. In addition to timber, trees provide other forest products such as fruits, nuts, latex, resins, and medicinal compounds, contributing to local economies and livelihoods.
Furthermore, trees play a pivotal role in watershed protection. Forests act as natural water filters, preventing soil erosion and sediment runoff into rivers and streams. This water purification function is essential for maintaining clean water supplies for both human populations and wildlife. In many regions, trees are strategically planted to combat desertification and restore degraded land, enhancing soil fertility and promoting sustainable agriculture.
Cultural and Aesthetic Importance of Trees
Throughout history, trees have held profound cultural and spiritual significance for societies around the world. Trees are often symbolically linked to creation myths, religious beliefs, and cultural practices. In various cultures, trees serve as sacred sites, connecting people to their ancestral roots and providing a sense of continuity.
The aesthetic value of trees is undeniable. Their towering canopies, vibrant foliage, and seasonal transformations add beauty and tranquility to both natural landscapes and urban environments. Parks, gardens, and tree-lined streets offer spaces for relaxation and contemplation, contributing to the mental and emotional well-being of individuals. Artists, writers, and poets have drawn inspiration from trees for centuries, celebrating their majesty in various forms of creative expression.
Challenges and Conservation Efforts
Despite their immense importance, trees face a myriad of threats that endanger their survival. Deforestation, driven by agricultural expansion, logging, and urban development, poses a significant risk to forests and the ecosystems they support. The loss of forests not only disrupts habitats but also releases stored carbon back into the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change.
Invasive species, diseases, and pests also jeopardize tree populations. The spread of diseases like Dutch elm disease and emerald ash borer has had devastating impacts on tree species, leading to the decline of iconic tree populations. Climate change introduces additional challenges, including altered precipitation patterns, increased frequency of extreme weather events, and shifting temperature ranges, all of which can stress trees and disrupt ecosystems.
To counter these threats, conservation efforts have become paramount. Reforestation and afforestation projects are being undertaken globally to restore degraded landscapes and establish new forests. Sustainable forestry practices, such as selective logging and reforestation, aim to balance economic needs with ecological preservation. Additionally, the preservation of old-growth forests, which are rich repositories of biodiversity, is essential for maintaining the health of ecosystems.
Conclusion
In conclusion, trees are the silent custodians of our planet, diligently performing myriad roles that sustain life as we know it. Their ecological, economic, cultural, and aesthetic importance is a testament to their undeniable significance. As we navigate a rapidly changing world, it is imperative that we recognize the value of trees and work collectively to protect and preserve them. Through responsible land management, sustainable practices, and increased awareness, we can ensure that future generations inherit a world adorned with the majesty and vitality of trees.

DMX was Reebok's answer to Nike's Air and Air Max. Air pods under the outsole, all interconnected. I found them more comfortable than the Nike Air series, but I'm not sure how much the Reebok pods did, they remained comfortable after the pods went flat, and even after they wore away.
This pair was another from the liquidation sale haul I've discussed earlier. Another pair I began wearing regularly, as I liked the different styling and because, yes, they were comfortable.
But, like some other shoes of that era,, the outsoles hardened and crumbled away within months. The blue "pods" turned out to be very durable, staying inflated for about two years after the outsoles were gone. And even when they were flat, they still remained intact until a few years ago, when they finally crumbled away, leaving the remaining midsole. Still a very comfortable, serviceable shoe. None of the midsole "rot" like many Nikes.
I should note that every pair of this color DMX of that era, clear outsoles with a purple upper, crumbled like mine did, and most of the owners kept wearing them as is, like me. And I later bought a pair of Puma Mostros with the same clear outsole that also hardened and crumbled within months of their purchase. But again, they remained perfectly wearable.
4 May 2024 – The discussion reaches its peak at the civil society event “Navigating Interconnected Challenges: Climate, Conflict, and Social Development in Asia and the Pacific” held on the sidelines of the 57th Annual Meeting of the ADB Board of Governors in Tbilisi, Georgia.
The meeting is an opportunity for ADB shareholding governments to provide guidance to management and staff on administrative, financial, and operational issues.

"Risograph Reverie" is an enchanting series of risograph graphics by Duncan Rawlinson. This collection engages the viewer with its distinctive blend of form and color, representing a compelling dialogue between the abstract and the photorealistic, the expected and the surprising.
Rawlinson's approach is a testament to the transformative capacity of art, where photography meets artificial intelligence to create something entirely unique. Each piece begins its journey as a photograph, a frozen moment in time, which is then fed into an AI tool that reshapes it into a vibrant dance of neon-colored geometric forms. The light magenta and azure hues act as commanding players on this visual stage, setting the tone for the playful motifs and mismatched patterns to unfold within a uniquely compelling 6:17 aspect ratio.
What's even more mesmerizing about this series is its perfect symmetry, creating a harmonious continuity when placed side by side. Each graphic functions as a tile, seamlessly connecting with its neighbors to form a larger, interconnected canvas that amplifies the visual impact. The result is a dynamic, infinite spectacle where each piece, while powerful as a standalone, is part of a greater, mesmerizing whole.
In "Risograph Reverie," Rawlinson bridges the tactile world of risograph printmaking with the endless possibilities of the digital realm. The collection, tactile and tangible, vibrates with the unique energy of risograph art, while the individual graphics, designed under the algorithmic direction of an AI, add a modern and innovative twist.
Navigating through this series is an invitation to lose oneself in a world where neon-colored geometric forms come to life, where patterns blend flawlessly, and where every piece is an integral part of a captivating, cohesive narrative. This is Rawlinson's celebration of contemporary art - a space where color and form, reality and imagination, and technology and traditional printmaking coexist in a fun and harmonious dance of creativity.
