The genius of local materials. To shield you in the rain while planting rice near Takayama, Japan, simply make a raincoat with straw. Photo from my book #VanishingAsia #Takayama #Japan #handcraft https://instagr.am/p/CAiN5t1jeg_/
On Friday, 24 July, Mexico City approved a bill banning therapies that claim to “cure homosexuality in a historic vote with 49 in favor, 9 against and 5 abstentions.
The local congress also approved the punishment of up to 5 years in prison for members of churches, medical specialists and psychologists who administer violent treatments to “reverse” the sexual orientation of the members of the LGBT community.

JUAREZ, Mexico (Border Report) — Dozens of transgender women are looking for a new home after recent rains destroyed much of the roof of their Downtown Juarez shelter.
“The roof is falling apart, we have torrents of water coming in through the ceiling every time it rains,” said Grecia Herrera, director of the Respettrans Home, a name that combines the words “Respect” and “Transsexual.” The water has caused extensive damage to upper floors used as dormitories.”
Science in the field gets even more delightful. Two different missions are in the field right now, studying snow and how it affects communities around the country.
From our Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia, the IMPACTS mission is flying up and down the East Coast, investigating how snow forms inside clouds. In Grand Mesa, Colorado, SnowEx’s teams on the ground and in the air are taking a close look at how much water is stored in snow.
Hate going out in the storm? The IMPACTS mission can help with that! IMPACTS uses two planes – a P-3 Orion and an ER-2 – flying through and high above the clouds to study where intense bands of snowfall form. Better understanding where intense snow will fall can improve forecast models down the road — helping prepare communities for snowstorms.
Cameras mounted on the wings of the P3 took microscopic images of snowflakes, like this one.
At the same time, the SnowEx team is in Colorado, studying the depth and density of snow. Researchers are making radar spirals with snowmobiles and working in giant snow pits to measure things like snow water equivalent, or how much water is stored in snow.
SnowEx is helping us better understand snow’s role in ecosystems and human systems, like irrigation for agriculture. If you want to bring some corn for popping, SnowEx’s science can help grow that crop.

Pior ele comanda os bolsominions para fechar o congresso e STF para ele ser o comandante. Só rindo para não chorar.
