  1. interesting:

    "Gaines is a research assistant investigating a virus to kill the coconut rhinoceros beetle, also referred to as CRB, which is decimating Oahu’s coconut and palm trees. After years of trying to eradicate the beetle, the problem has grown to a full infestation, with thousands of trees dead because of the pest."

    "Preliminary results from her testing are promising, Gaines said. She’s observed larvae die after contracting the virus both by injection and naturally from deceased larvae. Most recently, she said, three out of four larvae died after she placed them inside a bin with a dead infected specimen."

  3. ⚫ In der Nähe von Gabar sind Ende Dezember 2024 drei Jugendliche erfroren. No Name Kitchen (#NNK) und Collettivo Rotte Balcaniche (#CRB) beschuldigen die bulgarische Grenzpolizei, sie daran gehindert zu haben, die drei ägyptischen Minderjährigen zu retten.

    Sie wurden später als Ahmed Samra (17), Ahmed Elawdan (16) und Seifalla Elbeltagy (15) identifiziert. Die NGO-Mitglieder waren verhaftet, ihr Auto zerstört worden.

  5. Who should be in charge of eradicating a new invasive beetle (Oryctes rhinoceros) that has the potential to wipe out Maui's coconut trees? The Mayor? State Department of Agriculture? County Department of Ag? Wackadoos with Tin Foil Hats who blame everything on 5G and gluten?

    Maybe people with expertise in eradicating insects should sit near the head of the table . . . ?

    I'm tired of agencies flexing their muscles instead of working together to get things done.

  6. Been away from Mastodon for a few months but I think I'm back.

    What's on my mind?

    Coconut Rhinoceros Beetles.

    #CRB were first discovered on #Maui where I live a couple weeks ago. If allowed to establish here, we can say goodbye to the coconut.

    Oahu is currently being ravaged. Kauai and Hawaii Islands had their first CRB records earlier this year.

    A Hawaii without coconut trees is a terrible future to imagine.

    Will we find the will and the $ to deal with this beetle?

  7. seeking a few Corsi-Rosenthal boxen in the Pasadena area

    Might you have a Corsi-Rosenthal box or few that can be borrowed on Sunday, March 12th?

    I can't make decisions for the conference, but I will be running two rooms on Sunday. We run #CRB when they won't interfere with presentations

    I will have some portable ionizers with me, but having diy tools is more inline with a #FLOSSconference and I won't have room to truck CRB in with me
