Given the events of the last two months, I for one can think of no better way to dissuade the public of the notion that there is anti-black racism in America’s police forces than to have one of the largest departments in the country cozy up to an SPLC-designated hate group like the Proud Boys. Way to show Philly where you stand, you racist fucking pigs!
FTA: ““There was a fateful moment when there was a small article put in the Farmers Journal which ended with something like: ‘Free trees: call this number’. That started a huge list of people who are interested.” Conversations over garden fences and farm gates meant a lot of the applications came in clusters. She lost count of the people who told her she was “completely crackers” if she thought she could get farmers to plant trees.
“Most farms can accommodate 10,000 trees without too much difficulty,” she says, “just not necessarily all in one place. The real key point is that on farmland where you fence lands and have boundaries and bits of scrap land, corners you can’t get tractors into, you can get quite a lot of trees without any impact on your farm payment. There are huge misconceptions, the idea that trees mean forestry, but you can have useful trees that are part of working farmland, or trees in hedgerows.”

Spawned from Sakai’s comics that began in 1984 and counting James Wan among its executive producers, the CGI Samurai Rabbit follows
the teenage Rabbit Samurai Yuichi, descendent of the great warrior
Miyamoto Usagi, on his epic quest to become a true samurai. But he isn’t
alone. He leads a ragtag team of misfit heroes – including a roguish
bounty hunter, a cunning ninja, an acrobatic pickpocket and a faithful
pet lizard – as he battles depth-charging moles, metal-tipped winged
bats and monsters from another dimension, all in the pursuit to become
the best samurai Usagi.

I’m surprised at how they approached this because I was wondering how they could turn the comic into something kid-friendly!
FTA: “Although it is known that each cryptophyte has only one type of phycobiliprotein, unique to each species of algae, Richardson and her graduate student Kristin Heidenreich’s recent work suggests that the absorption spectrum of these pigments can shift based on the environment in which the algae grows. “That just blew me away,” Richardson says.
It’s still unclear how the cryptophyte algae accomplish this feat. Richardson suggests that the phycobiliprotein changes shape such that it absorbs different wavelengths. Alternatively, the cryptophytes could be changing the chromophores—the light absorbing chains on the phycobiliprotein complex—so that they are able to absorb whatever color of light that is available to them.
When eukaryotic cells first absorbed the cyanobacteria that became chloroplast—a light-absorbing organelle—photosynthesis became a powerful driver of life on Earth. But the evolution of photosynthesis may not be done yet, as secondary mergers, such as the one that produced cryptophytes, have further expanded the available pigments to capture unused portions of the light spectrum. If plants can continue to harness more and more energy from light, there is no telling how it could affect the future of the planet.“
