Boston, officially the City of Boston, is the capital and largest city of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the cultural and financial center of the New England region of the Northeastern United States. The city boundaries encompass an area of about 48.4 sq mi (125 km2) and a population of 675,647 as of 2020. The city is the economic and cultural anchor of a substantially larger metropolitan area known as Greater Boston, a metropolitan statistical area (MSA) home to 4,941,632 people as of 2020, ranking as the eleventh-largest MSA in the country. A broader combined statistical area (CSA), generally corresponding to the commuting area and including Worcester, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island, is home to approximately 8.2 million people, making it the seventh-most populous in the United States.
Boston is one of the nation's oldest municipalities, founded on the Shawmut Peninsula in 1630 by Puritan settlers from the English town of the same name. During the American Revolution and the nation's founding, Boston was the location of several key events, including the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, the hanging of Paul Revere's lantern signal in Old North Church, the Battle of Bunker Hill, and the siege of Boston. Following American independence from Great Britain, the city continued to play an important role as a port, manufacturing hub, and center for American education and culture. The city has expanded beyond the original peninsula through land reclamation and municipal annexation. Its rich history attracts many tourists, with Faneuil Hall alone drawing more than 20 million visitors per year. Boston's many firsts include the United States' first public park (Boston Common, 1634), the first public school (Boston Latin School, 1635), the first subway system (Tremont Street subway, 1897), and the first large public library (Boston Public Library, 1848).
In the 21st century, Boston has emerged as a global leader in higher education and academic research. Greater Boston's many colleges and universities include Harvard University and MIT, both located in suburban Cambridge and both routinely included among the world's most highly ranked universities. The city is also a national leader in scientific research, law, medicine, engineering, and business. With nearly 5,000 startup companies, the city is considered a global pioneer in innovation and entrepreneurship. Boston's economic base also includes finance, professional and business services, biotechnology, information technology, and government activities. Households in the city claim the highest average rate of philanthropy in the United States. Boston businesses and institutions rank among the top in the country for environmental sustainability and new investment.

Nutrients in seawater present a paradox. Nutrients are, of course, essential for life. In the oligotrophic environment of the Mediterranean, the ecosystems with the most nutrients are generally the most productive and diverse. At the same time, many Mediterranean nearshore areas are threatened by nutrient over-enrichment due to coastal and watershed development. Many developed coastal areas suffer particularly from increased influx of dissolved nitrogen and phosphorus. Sources include untreated human sewage, animal waste, transportation, fertilizers and industrial discharges. The largest emitters of nitrogen are urban wastewater treatment (45%), livestock farming (24%) and the organic chemical industry (2%).While the main sources of phosphorus are fertilizer manufacturing (40%), livestock farming (39%) and urban wastewater treatment (13%).

Western Sahara is one of the most arid places on Earth. In the vicinity of its biggest city, in the middle of hammada - a stony desert - lays a water reservoir on the intermittent river Saguia el-Hamra. In August it turns to a couple of ponds, but still remains the biggest water body in the area comparable to the Great Britain.

From: http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/lincoln/aboutus.shtml: Between Cloudcroft and Alamogordo on US 82 is the only highway tunnel in Southern New Mexico. A parking area just west of the tunnel affords a spectacular view of Fresnal Canyon.
This is one of those spectacular views. According to the roadside sign, cliff dwellings were discovered in this canyon, but they were not visible from the road.
Damascus, SANA- A military source affirmed that forces of the Turkish regime are continuing to carry out hostile acts against the Syrian armed forces which are operating in Idleb province and its surroundings whether through directly targeting positions of the Syrian soldiers who are facing terrorists, or through providing support to the armed organizations which are on the list of terrorism according to the international law. The source added that these repeated hostile Turkish acts will not succeed in saving terrorists from the strikes of the Syrian Arab Army and they prove the Turkish regime’s disavowal of all the previous …
