Urban Heat Island Mitigation Strategies (UHIMS) encompass ecological and architectural interventions—such as vertical greenery and reflective surfaces—designed to reduce extreme localized temperatures in urban environments by managing how building envelopes interact with local microclimates.

Before travelling to East Timor, I went to a bank to exchange euros for US dollars. The clerk said to me:
‘Are you going to spend Christmas or New Year's Eve in Times Square?’
‘No,’ I replied, ‘there probably isn't room for the Baby Jesus to be born there.’ I'm going to spend Christmas a few metres from the Tíbar rubbish dump, on which many families still depend, with many boys and girls who need to be sent to school so that one day they can try to break out of the cycle of poverty.
She swallowed hard and wished me a good trip.

[en] How risk-averse are you?

"Researchers found people who are socially rich, with strong social support but whose family had less money, and those who are #economically rich, having more money but less #social support, take similar levels of #risk but activate different parts of their brains."

"The participants took part in a computerized risk-taking game while undergoing #fMRI #brain scans. In the game, they pumped virtual balloons to earn money, 5 cents per pump. At any point, they could choose to cash out. ..."

It’s been happening for most of 20th C also. The horrific consequences of corporate capture and industrialisation of #agriculture were spelled out in stark detail and with great prescience by #WendellBerry in his 1977 seminal work, ‘The Unsettling of America’.

A wonderful book, which makes for very sad reading today. #LostCulture #ruralCrisis #BiidiversityCrisis
