MacArthur Elementary School is seen in Binghamton, N.Y., on Aug. 30, 2019. After remnants of Tropical Storm Lee indundated the school with over three feet of water from the nearby Susquehanna River, the school was rebuilt with numerous measures to improve its resilience to flooding. The lower level of the school, sitting in the river's flood plain, was converted to a playground that can flood without lasting damage, while rain gardens and other structures to soak up and filter stormwater are scattered throughout the campus.

Soil scientists and lithified sand dunes on the central coastline of Abu Dhabi Emirate. Ancient sand dunes that have become cemented and hardened through time are identified as Miliolite.
Soil scientists explore and seek to understand the earth’s land and water resources. Practitioners of soil science identify, interpret, and manage soils for agriculture, forestry, rangeland, ecosystems, urban uses, and mining and reclamation in an environmentally responsible way.

We act on climate change by further reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along our value chain. We continue to reduce withdrawals of water per tonne of product and help increase access to safe water and sanitation. Reducing waste is a priority: we reuse and recycle wherever possible. We help the farmers we work with to adopt sustainable practices.

Increasing floods in between dry periods represent ideal conditions for spreading diseases such as cholera. In Nouakchott, the capital of Mauritania located in the desert, precipitations - when they occur - are always accompanied by a cholera epidemic, especially in poor areas where waste matter is not managed. Cholera had almost disappeared globally by the mid 1950s, but it reappeared and spread throughout the world during the last few decades. The World Health Organization (WHO) fears that a rapidly changing climate, combined with declining socio-economic conditions in the poorest part of the population, will contribute to an increasing spread of the disease.

John Horgan will restore BC as a climate action leader with a plan that focuses on reducing climate changing emissions, not letting them increase like Christy Clark has.
“We can’t afford four more years of climate inaction from Christy Clark and the BC Liberals. The stakes are too high in this election,” said BC NDP leader John Horgan. “We have to come together to make sure we have a government that will take real action on climate change.”
Horgan held a town hall meeting with several members of the Climate Leadership Team who Christy Clark tasked with renewing BC’s climate action. Clark chose to reject the team’s recommendations despite their careful consideration of the impacts on people, the economy, industry and the environment.

While this might not be an exciting picture for Flickr, it fits in with some conversations that some of us have been having. The picture is of a short stretch of “CV/Link”, a project to connect the 45 by 15 mile wide Coachella Valley with paths for biking, pedestrian, and other non-car mobility (link below). It’s an ambitious project that (as usual) encounters all sorts of governmental and NIMBY obstacles, so it is only completed in various segments which are often not yet connected.
There’s at least three reasons there’s no traffic on this segment. First, this is a short segment in Palm Desert which isn’t connected to the more popular bike paths 10 miles away in Palm Springs. Secondly, the particular segment is not near housing where people would be out for an evening ride. And, third, I took this photo at the worse time for riding a bike in the desert – 4PM when it’s 95F.
Much of what they’ve done for CV/Link I really like, particularly the current part that’s near me and runs along a golf course (link below). I’m less certain about the type of bike path in this current picture, which is planned for another area on my usual routes. In general my riding might be described as wandering/wondering – I don’t ride fast and I often pull off onto the grass because of seeing a friend or seeing something (e.g., bird or a particularly scenic shot) along the path. If a path like this were popular, I’d see that wandering along it might feel like driving leisurely on a freeway :)

This picture is about the fact that because of the air pollution buildings are dirty and black. Initially this is hard to believe since all the big prominent buildings are always clean and shiny. But when you go to a back alley only a honderd meters from the city center it becomes clear that besides people’s lungs, also walls and buildings suffer from smog.

I'm probably safe to state that the drivers probably like these better than the Land Rover Defenders they replace from a creature comforts point of view.
It has to be said that Toyota Hilux in this trim level looks like its been beaten with an ugly stick.

From the official web site:
Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics is a basic research centre dedicated to exploring the world around us at its most fundamental level. It began in the summer of 1999 when Mike Lazaridis, founder of Research in Motion and the innovator who was instrumental in launching the smart phone revolution, found himself in a position to help foster research and innovation in Canada by establishing a world-class institute devoted to theoretical physics.
Research
Since research operations began in the fall of 2001, the Institute has grown to include over 80 resident researchers who are involved in day-to-day operations. Additionally, the vigorous Visitor Program has enabled PI to host hundreds of international researchers each year for collaborations and workshops. The current groups involved with cross-disciplinary research include Condensed Matter, Cosmology & Gravitation, Particle Physics, Quantum Foundations, Quantum Gravity, Quantum Information Theory, Superstring Theory and related areas.
Training
Among activities that help develop future generations of scientists, is the innovative Perimeter Scholars International. This research training program exposes rising talent from around the world to the full spectrum of theoretical physics, bringing them rapidly to the leading edge of current research.
Outreach
In addition to the scientific operations, Perimeter Institute also shares the importance of basic research and the power of theoretical physics with the wider community. The award winning educational outreach team provides specifically crafted programs and educational resources for youth, teachers and members of the general public across Canada and beyond.
Funding
Perimeter Institute is an independent, non-profit, charitable organization focused on scientific research, training and educational outreach in theoretical physics. The Institute is funded through an innovative public-private partnership - uniting governments, individuals, corporations, and foundations in a shared enterprise to help advance scientific breakthroughs, nurture scientific talent, and share scientific discovery with the broader public.
Workplace
Perimeter Institute endeavors to foster an inclusive culture that embraces and celebrates the diversity of our organization. We are committed to providing a safe, comfortable, harassment-free working environment for all students, scientists, support staff and volunteers, regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, religion or place of origin. We have a zero tolerance policy towards any form of harassment, discrimination, or violence in the workplace. Trust and mutual respect are the basis of our community.
