A nice start to the day but the rain will be pushing in this afternoon. You'll have to listen to the forecast to hear how cold it will be behind the front, and for how long.

The “Kudzu Bug” Invasion: What You Need to Know in North Georgia By Fred Talley, Faith Pest Control If you’ve lived around Jasper, Ellijay, or anywhere in the North Georgia Mountains for more than a few years, you’ve probably noticed a “new” neighbor that’s making itself right at home. I’m talking about the Kudzu Bug (Megacopta cribraria). Now, we’re used to ladybugs and those pesky Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs, but these little guys are a different breed of nuisance. If you’ve seen small, olive-brown, square-shaped beetles clustering on your white siding or swarming your ...

Plotselinge duizeligheid, oorsuizen en knallende koppijn: tien jaar geleden meldden Amerikaanse diplomaten in Havana plots een reeks van mysterieuze klachten. De oorzaak? Volgens sommigen een geheim energiewapen dat met gerichte radiogolven mensen uit de weg ruimt. Nu – tien jaar later – duiken deze geheimzinnige verhalen opnieuw op. Donald Trump zou bij de kidnapping van Maduro de ‘Discombobulator’ hebben ingezet, een apparaat dat met één energetische klap het leger van Venezuela uitschakelde. Maar bestaan zulke gerichte-energie-wapens eigenlijk? Of zouden ze kúnnen bestaan?...

They may not go into polling booths and come out with an ‘I Voted’ sticker. But most animals that live in groups have developed ways to make collective decisions and act together for the good of one and all. English rock ants are always scouting for a new nest. When a few individuals find the same new spot, they seem to agree that this real estate has potential. So they go back to the current nest to try to lead other ants over, one by one. If they can persuade enough to follow, they’ll hit a critical mass at the new place, and the decision is made: this is now home. The ants don’t ...

Earlier, you heard how geckos have a sticky superpower. Microscopic hairs on their toes generate electromagnetic attraction to the surfaces they walk on, letting them run up glass and across ceilings. Anoles—common garden lizards in the southern U.S.—have less stick. They can dash up trees but can’t cling to the underside of things. Their electromagnetic attraction evolved separately from geckos’. In fact, they diverged on their family tree more than 200 million years ago, before either developed this capability. And both are still evolving. Evolution happens when individuals with ...

Nuestro lenguaje muestra las formas en que comprendemos el mundo. Hablar de buen vivir, buena vida, vivir bonito, etc. muestra una gran sensibilidad a las formas locales en que entendemos lo que en las instituciones se llama el “Bienestar” o la “Calidad de Vida”. ¿Cómo se hace para lograr eso desde la mirada de comunidades locales e indígenas? Vamos a platicar sobre un recetario de saberes que promete darnos nuevos sabores o redescubrir lo que nuestra matriz cultural ya sabía. Presentamos el ”Recetario de saberes para los cuidados y el Buen Vivir” del Instituto de Liderazgo ...

Ons madeliefjeHet is in het buitenland niet onopgemerkt gebleven. Het feit dat Nederland het madeliefje in 2023 tot nationale bloem gekozen heeft. Het is een opmerkelijke keuze voor een kleine en bescheiden plant. Maar, vrijwel het hele jaar bloeiend, en haast in elk weiland en grasveld te vinden. Ook wanneer het grasveld gemaaid wordt, binnen enkele dagen steken de witgele bloemhoofdjes al weer de kop op. De combinatie van een krans van witte straal- of lintbloemen met een hart van gele buisbloemen maakt het madeliefje tot een typische vertegenwoordiger van de samengesteldbloemigen of ...

Wondering what to get that special someone for Halloween? How about a bouquet of corpse flowers? Of course, you’ll have to go all the way to Indonesia to get them. And it would be a very, very large arrangement. There are two types of corpse flowers, and both emit a strong odor of rotting meat to attract flies and beetles to pollinate them. Titan arum lives up to its name, with flowers topping 10 feet in height. To produce a bloom of such staggering proportions, it spends a few years as a small tree with wide sun-gathering leaves, storing energy in a giant tuber that could weigh 200 pounds. ...

W czasach PRL-u ołowicę odnotowano na Górnym Śląśku, w tym wśród dzieci zamieszkujących okolice Huty Szopienice oraz Huty Miasteczko Śląskie, które emitowały znaczne ilości nieoczyszczonych spalin związanych z wytopem cynku.Osiedle Targowisko było położone najbliżej huty i składało się z robotniczych domów z XIX wieku. W latach 70. XX w. prowadzono tam badania przesiewowe dzieci. W 1996 r. wydano rozporządzenie wprowadzające obowiązkowe badania stężenia ołowiu we krwi. Stan środowiska naturalnego ma bezpośredni wpływ na zdrowie człowieka. Zła jakość ...

This episode was originally aired on April 25, 2025 and it was a top performing episode on Farm+Food+Facts. U.S. Farmers & Ranchers in Action established an independent scientific working group to analyze the potential for U.S. agriculture to collectively reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and possibly achieve a state of negative emissions, or emitting fewer total GHGs than are sequestered. The resulting report, “Potential for U.S. Agriculture to be Greenhouse Gas Negative,” was peer-reviewed and published. In this episode, we dive deeper into one of the key areas of opportunity ...

In this episode, we zoom in on the UK solar market and ask a simple question with big implications: as solar scales fast, is it scaling sustainably? We break down what “circularity” actually means in a solar context, from design choices and maintenance, to decommissioning, reuse, and high-value recycling, so the industry can move beyond the take-make-dispose model.We also explore what’s at stake for the UK. With ambitions to ramp up deployment, the key challenge is making circular frameworks mature as quickly as the market, so we don’t solve one problem while creating another.
