The last Western Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis longipes) was photographed in Zakouma in 1972, originally this subspecies would have been distributed from the west bank of the White Nile in the east, west as far as the area surrounding lake Chad, north-eastern Nigeria may have been the western limit of their range. Some distribution maps show Black Rhinos occurring further west, this is largely based on the fact that the 19th century German explorer Heinrich Barth who travel in the region west of Lake Chad and visited Timbuktu, reported that he had seen Black Rhino Spoor on the banks of the Niger River, no other convincing evidence has been found since then, so it is unclear if the species did occur between the Lake Chad and the Niger. At one time these rhinos were very common, the north of the Central African Republic once had one of the largest populations of Black Rhinos in Africa, political instability coupled with the huge demand for horns in Yemen to make traditional dagger handles, led to them being wiped out by poachers. Demand for horns in the Gulf States to make daggers has largely receded and been replaced by the demand from the Far East principally Vietnam where illegal horn is used as medicine or to make jewellery. After their disappearance from Chad and CAR, Western Black Rhinos survived in small numbers in Northern Cameroon, but inevitably these animals were also poached and in 2005, this subspecies was declared extinct.
This was not the end of the story for Black Rhinos in Zakouma, the park is managed by the NGO African Parks who took on Zakouma in 2010, they decided that they would try to reintroduce Black Rhinos, even though the western subspecies is gone forever. Three other Black Rhino subspecies survive, of these the so called South Central Black Rhino (Diceros bicornis minor) found in northern South Africa is the most common, so it was decided that six of these animals should be introduced to Zakouma in 2018, if the rhinos settled in well, then a year later they would be followed by a further group of six, and a third group the year after. Tragically four of the first six animals, for some reason failed to adapt to their new home and died from natural causes, they simply weren’t getting adequate nutrition from their new diet. The other rhinos, two cows named Goose and Bopa did not have this problem, have adapted well and are still thriving, but with no bull cannot breed, the introduction of the next group of six had to be put on hold whilst vets and scientists got to the bottom of why the four rhinos died. Then the pandemic hit, further delaying the next introduction, but fingers crossed the next group of six will arrive Dec 22, getting the reintroduction project back on track. They are now confident that they can keep future rhinos healthy, once the rhinos start to breed, they can repopulate Zakouma and nearby Siniaka-Minia the latter was created to protect the Western Black Rhino. Potentially the two parks could support a very significant population of rhinos, rhino reintroductions can be risky, but returning them to secure areas is the only way to keep the population growing, fortunately there are enough of these rhinos to be able to take the risk.
December 2023 update perhaps as a consequence of the pandemic or maybe other issues, the translocation of new rhinos did not take place in December 2022. However, 5 new rhinos have now just been moved to Zakouma, it was planned to move 6 but one of the bulls was thought to be suffering from depression and so he was rejected. As I understand it although the 5 new rhinos came from South Africa, they are in fact Eastern Blacks D. b, michaeli, so if my information is right, there are 2 D. b. minor and 5 D. b. michaeli rhinos in Zakouma, I guess AP decided that Chad is so far away from all other Black Rhino populations that they could mix 2 subspecies without any risk to the genetics of other rhino populations, I would surprised if it was just the case that they could not obtain more D, b, minor animals when they wanted them.
A further 13 will be brought in by 2025 if this latest move is a success, it is hoped that by delivering the rhinos in December, they will be better able to adapt than the last six that were brought in, in May. This will mean that there will be 20 Black Rhinos in Zakouma the ideal size for a new founder population. I hope that this will lead to the repopulation of Zakouma and Siniaka Minia.

Distributed Urban Agriculture
While the majority of the population now lives in urban areas, the vast majority of our food still comes from far distant rural farms using increasingly destructive strategies to maximize their yield. All of a sudden, however, technology and the market are giving producers the opportunity to scale urban agriculture up to help make cities sustainable. Innovations in remote sensing, data conglomeration, irrigation design, and lighting are enabling farmers to grow healthy produce on a tiny footprint with fewer dangerous chemicals. In the process, urban farmers can reuse waste as construction material and fertilizer, while operating farms distributed throughout cities in derelict and underutilized spaces.

(Ceryle rudis)
The pied kingfisher (Ceryle rudis) is a water kingfisher and is found widely distributed across Africa and Asia. Originally described by Linnaeus in 1758, it has five recognised subspecies. Its black and white plumage, crest and the habit of hovering over clear lakes and rivers before diving for fish make it distinctive. Males have a double band across the breast while females have a single gorget that is often broken in the middle. They are usually found in pairs or small family parties. When perched, they often bob their head and flick up their tail.
The pied kingfisher was one of the many bird species originally described by Linnaeus in the landmark 1758 10th edition of his Systema Naturae, who noted that it lived in Persia and Egypt. He named it Alcedo rudis. The German naturalist Friedrich Boie erected the genus Ceryle in 1828. The name is from classical Greek kērulos, an unidentified and probably mythical bird mentioned by Aristotle and other authors. The specific epithet rudis is Latin for "wild" or "rude".
The pied kingfisher is the only member of the genus Ceryle. Molecular analysis shows it is an early offshoot of the lineage that gave rise to American kingfishers of the genus Chloroceryle. The pied kingfisher was initially believed to be descended from an ancestral American green kingfisher which crossed the Atlantic Ocean about one million years ago. A more recent suggestion is that the pied kingfisher and the American green kingfishers are derived from an Old World species, with the pied kingfisher or its ancestor losing the metallic colouration afterwards.
There are five subspecies:
C. r. syriacus Roselaar, 1995 – Turkey to Israel east to southwest Iran (some ornithologists do not recognise this subspecies)
C. r. rudis (Linnaeus, 1758) – Egypt and Africa south of the Sahara
C. r. leucomelanurus Reichenbach, 1851 – east Afghanistan through India to south China and north Indochina
C. r. travancoreensis Whistler, 1935 – southwest India
C. r. insignis Hartert, 1910 – east and southeast China, Hainan Island
This is a medium-sized kingfisher, about 25 cm (9.8 in) long with a white with a black mask, a white supercilium and black breast bands. The crest is neat and the upperparts are barred in black. Several subspecies are recognized within the broad distribution. The nominate race is found in sub-Saharan Africa, extending into West Asia. The subspecies syriacus is a larger northern bird similar to the nominate species (following Bergmann's rule).[8] Subspecies leucomelanura is found from Afghanistan east into India, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Laos. The subspecies travancoreensis of the Western Ghats is darker with the white reduced. The subspecies C. r. insignis is found in Hainan and southeastern China and has a much larger bill. Males have a narrow second breast-band while females have a single broken breast band.
The breeding season is February to April. Its nest is a hole excavated in a vertical mud bank about five feet above water. The nest tunnel is four to five feet deep and ends in a chamber. Several birds may nest in the same vicinity. The usual clutch is three to six white eggs. The pied kingfisher sometimes reproduces cooperatively, with young non-breeding birds from an earlier brood assisting parents or even unrelated older birds. In India, nestlings have been found to be prone to maggot infestations (probably by Protocalliphora sp.) and in some areas to leeches. Nest holes may sometimes be used for roosting.
In 1947, British zoologist Hugh B. Cott noticed while skinning birds that hornets were attracted to certain birds but avoided the flesh of pied kingfishers. This led to a comparative study of edibility of birds and he suggested that more conspicuously plumaged birds may be less palatable. This suggestion was, however, not supported by a subsequent reanalysis of his data.

Both sisters have their PhDs from U-M, Jasmine from the School of Information and Jessica from Aerospace Engineering. The Joneses are among the participants in the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session.
Participants from Berea College, Howard University, Kennesaw State University, and Morehouse College spent the final week of June at the University of Michigan College of Engineering Robotics Department participating in the Distributed Teaching Collaborative Summer Session in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The program, which began with the new Robotics 101 course in Fall 2020 being remotely taught to Morehouse and Spelman College students, enables instructors from different institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), to benefit from open-source resources available for new course development at R1 institutions. This collaboration provides students from HBCUs and MSIs with access to cutting-edge robotics education and helps promote equity in STEM fields.
In March of this year Robotics PhD student Jana Pavlasek and Professor Chad Jenkins were awarded the Claudia Joan Alexander Trailblazer Award for their work developing the new course for undergraduate students, Rob 102: Introduction to AI and Programming. Their commitment to creating opportunity in AI and Robotics continues to extend beyond the University of Michigan. In Fall 2023, Robotics 102 will be offered in this collaborative distributed format to the partner schools. This initiative will help to provide equitable opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow in the field of robotics.

The New Zealand pipit, sometimes inaccurately called ground lark or native lark, is a local race (Anthus novaeseelandiae novaeseelandiae) of a very widely distributed species that occurs in Australia, the East Indies, North Africa, and Europe. It breeds on almost all the islands in the New Zealand area except the Kermadecs, the Snares, and Macquarie Island. Within its range the bird is found in a variety of open-country habitats from sea level to above the snow line, and is generally to be seen in such places as sand dunes, shingly river beds, and tussock grasslands. It is one of those birds that has benefited, both in numbers and in distribution, from the progress of settlement.
Males and females look alike. The upper parts are brown, streaked with darker brown; the breast is buff and mottled with brown, and the belly is white. A dark line runs through the eye and the two outermost tail feathers are mainly white and show up clearly when the bird is in flight. Though superficially rather like the introduced skylark, the pipit is more slender in body, has a longer, finer bill, lacks any head crest, and is much paler in plumage. Behaviour is different from that of the skylark – the tail is flicked while the bird is on the ground, and the flight is usually undulating instead of the soaring and singing so characteristic of the skylark.
Breeding takes place from September to March and up to three broods may be raised by a pair in a season. About four eggs freckled with light brown and grey are laid in a well-concealed cup-shaped nest made of grass. This is placed on the ground and usually beneath growing vegetation. Incubation takes about two weeks. Small flocks may form in autumn. The pipit is mainly insectivorous, but also eats worms and small seeds. In spite of its small size the species was eaten by the old-time Maori.
In spring the male will soar and sing a short trill as he descends, but this song cannot be confused with that of the skylark. The common call is a high, slurred “tirr-eep” or “peepit” and it is from this that the species gets its common name.
The pipit and the skylark both have drab plumage to provide camouflage on the ground but the pipit is grey rather than buff coloured and has a distinctive white eyebrow. The skylark has a tuft or crest on its head whilst the pipit has a habit of flicking its tail when it walks. It is also a much bolder bird and has the typical characteristic of our endemics in that it seems unafraid of humans, whereas the skylark keeps its distance. Its call is quite harsh.
The pipit feeds almost exclusively on insects and small invertebrates and this exclusive diet may be the reason why the pipit’s numbers have declined in favour of the skylark with the increasing use of pesticides on farms. The skylark is more of a seed eater.
The breeding habits of the birds are similar, with some pairs remaining on their territory all year and breeding together year after year. The females build the nest which is a neat grass lined cup in a small depression in the ground, often concealed by an overhanging clump of grass.
The pipit was first identified for the scientific record at Queen Charlotte Sound during Captain James Cook’s second voyage by Forster, where it was noticed on the seashore feeding on small crustacea among the seaweed cast up by the waves.

Distributed by Pilot Brands. Compared to all other wagyus or kobes I've had in the past, this was beautiful, having a great rich beef taste within its buttery flesh. It was still rich even if it's not as intensely marbled as other specimens of my past; good in small portions. I would have preferred that the pieces were cut thicker (i.e. double the current thickness) and cooked more to medium (due to the amount of fat in wagyu/kobe, it's really better served that way when the aromas and flavours can come through, even if I enjoy my "leaner" steaks rare or blue), an ideal way serve this breed of cattle (contrary to popular belief - think butter, so much better when warmed up (aroma, texture, taste) vs. hard out of the fridge).
Overall, I still prefer grass-fed aged AAA/longhorn beef. While kobe/waygu is great on its first bite, it does get a bit much. I like my steaks thick, dense (good chew) and full flavoured.
Update: here's Steve Dolinsky's take on the grass-fed wagyu.

This collaboration provides students from HBCUs and MSIs with access to cutting-edge robotics education and helps promote equity in STEM fields.
In March of this year Robotics PhD student Jana Pavlasek and Professor Chad Jenkins were awarded the Claudia Joan Alexander Trailblazer Award for their work developing the new course for undergraduate students, Rob 102: Introduction to AI and Programming. Their commitment to creating opportunity in AI and Robotics continues to extend beyond the University of Michigan. In Fall 2023, Robotics 102 will be offered in this collaborative distributed format to the partner schools. This initiative will help to provide equitable opportunities for students from diverse backgrounds to learn and grow in the field of robotics.

Workers begin installing the first rooftop solar systems for Arizona Public Service’s Community Power Project in Flagstaff. These photos follow the process from securing the first standoffs to installing the photovoltaic panels. The innovative pilot project will essentially create an interconnected renewable energy power plant in a section of Flagstaff using solar systems APS installs, owns and maintains on customer rooftops, at no upfront cost to the customer. It also allows APS to study the effects of a high concentration of distributed energy on the grid, helping to optimize the grid for a sustainable future. Find more at aps.com/communitypower.

Distributed Urban Agriculture
While the majority of the population now lives in urban areas, the vast majority of our food still comes from far distant rural farms using increasingly destructive strategies to maximize their yield. All of a sudden, however, technology and the market are giving producers the opportunity to scale urban agriculture up to help make cities sustainable. Innovations in remote sensing, data conglomeration, irrigation design, and lighting are enabling farmers to grow healthy produce on a tiny footprint with fewer dangerous chemicals. In the process, urban farmers can reuse waste as construction material and fertilizer, while operating farms distributed throughout cities in derelict and underutilized spaces.

MAGYARKANIZSA, SERBIA - SEPTEMBER 07: An aid worker distributes bread and supplies to migrants at a transition camp September 7, 2015 in Magyarkanizsa, Serbia. Thousands of migrants crossed into Hungary today from Serbia near the town of Horgas. Since the beginning of 2015 the number of migrants using the so-called 'Balkans route' has exploded with migrants arriving in Greece from Turkey and then travelling on through Macedonia and Serbia before entering the EU via Hungary. The number of people leaving their homes in war torn countries such as Syria, marks the largest migration of people since World War II. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)
