‘Mind blowing’ ancient settlements uncovered in the Amazon

Mysterious mounds in the southwest corner of the Amazon Basin were once the site of ancient urban settlements, scientists have discovered. Using a remote-sensing technology to map the terrain from the air, a research team has revealed that, starting about 1,500 years ago, ancient Amazonians built and lived in densely populated centres, featuring 22-metre-tall earthen pyramids and encircled by kilometres of elevated roadways.Source: ‘Mind blowing’ ancient settlements uncovered in the Amazon

The greenhouse will also be a climate solution, diverting rain to irrigate plants and help prevent flooding in the neighborhood.

Schools Reinstate Mask Mandates as COVID-19 Cases Rise | Time

The Providence school district tracked about 60 COVID-19 cases per day last week among staff and students—a dramatic increase from a low of about 10 cases per day in March and early April, according to district data. “The additional mitigation layer of masking will help us manage this new COVID surge and keep more students in the classroom where they learn best,” Javier Montañez, superintendent of Providence schools, said in a statement on Monday. Philadelphia schools also resumed a mask mandate “to help protect everyone’s health and well-being as COVID-19 case counts continue to rise in the Philadelphia area,” superintendent William Hite said in a statement. And Brookline, Mass. reinstated an indoor mask mandate in all town-owned buildings, including public schools. The decision came after public health officials compared COVID-19 cases in Brookline public schools to cases in other Massachusetts school districts that had maintained mask requirements and concluded that “a temporary reinstatement would be an important mitigation measure to limit disease spread and reduce disruptions due to student and staff absenteeism.”

At that point, they fell back as the shooting continued inside the classroom, according to the timeline.

He continued shooting through the wall and door at law enforcement who were arriving outside the classroom.

There was sporadic gunfire from the suspect until a tactical team arrived and killed him around 1 p.m., according the timeline.

Labour Day in our neighbourhood: Trash, trucks – and teamwork!

Petchary's Blog

I confess that I used to be rather cynical about Labour Day. It seemed like a bit of a PR stunt for political leaders, who pose from various angles while planting a tree, or painting a wall for five minutes.

Well, on Monday, May 23 we still had some of that. Both Prime Minister Andrew Holness and Opposition Leader Mark Golding gave us Labour Day Messages, and both did some work in Mandela Park, a much-neglected area in the middle of Half Way Tree. I disagree with the Prime Minister that perhaps the Park should be moved elsewhere. It’s in an extremely busy area. All it needs is some TLC, on a regular basis. It’s good to have a spot like this in a busy place – but it must be maintained and cleaned on a regular basis.
