There may already be extreme weather patterns, but scientists explain some other surprising ways on how climate change will affect the world in the next century or two.
Climate change may already be causing more hurricanes, droughts and other extreme weather patterns, but it will REALLY kick into gear in about a century – that’s when things are supposed to get apocalyptic.
Scientists don’t generally like to talk about the really devastating effects of climate change, partially because they’ve gotten so much backlash even for suggesting it exists. However, an enterprising New York Magazine writer got a group of scientists to explain how climate change will affect the world in the next century or two. As it turns out, some of the ways are pretty surprising.
1. Ancient plagues come back
Ice traps viruses and bacteria and when ice melts, these bugs get released – sometimes still intact. Scientists have already found viruses from the 1918 Influenza epidemic, which killed 100 million people. Researchers think smallpox and the Bubonic plague may also be trapped in the ice. Not to mention all the viruses that existed before humans were even around and have no immunities for.
2. Wars will double
Remember the war in Syria? Droughts caused by climate change may well have contributed to it. And there’s plenty more where that came from. Researchers say that, for every half degree warmer the world gets, armed conflict increases by 10-20 percent.
3. Farmland becomes too tropical to grow food
Most of the world relies on cereal crops like wheat, rice and corn. These plants grow well in places like the Midwest and can’t survive in hot areas like the tropics. So if temperate regions all of a sudden become tropics, people won’t be able to grow wheat anymore.
In theory, colder places like Canada and Russia would become great places for farming these staples. However, it will take a long while for soil to build up, so these regions won’t all of a sudden become perfect substitutes for growing crops.
“If the planet is five degrees warmer at the end of the century, we may have as many as 50 percent more people to feed and 50 percent less grain to give them,” adds science writer, Wallace-Wells.
4. We get stupid
Human brains need oxygen and more carbon in the air means less oxygen. High-end estimates from current trends suggest carbon dioxide will hit 1,000 ppm by 2100. At that concentration, compared to the air we breathe now, human cognitive ability declines by 21 percent.
5. Hydrogen sulfide will eventually kill us
More carbon dioxide in the ocean means the water will get more acidic, which will not only kill fish, it will also increase hydrogen sulfide – a toxic gas.
“Hydrogen sulfide is the planet’s preferred gas for a natural holocaust,” says Wallace-Wells.

HERE BOYS… THESE BRITISH NONCES REALLY ARE BITTER ABOUT THIS ONE! ;D
“Physicists tell us the bumble bee cannot possibly fly… no-one decided to inform the bumble bee”
GAMMA-RAY ELECTRON BEAM TRANSDUCER
United States Patent Application 20180294617
A method and means to produce a propulsion force comprises a source of electrons and means to produce pseudoelectrons. A gravitating body such as the Earth provides a repulsive fifth force on the pseudoelectrons. Pseudoelectrons are produced by absorption of high-energy photons by electrons. The pseudoelectrons experience a fifth force (F2) away from the Earth and move upward away from the Earth. To use this F2 device for propulsion, the repulsive fifth force on the pseudoelectrons is transferred to a negatively charged plate. The Coulombic repulsion between the pseudoelectrons and the negatively charged plate causes the plate to lift. The craft may additionally be imparted with angular momentum along an axis defined by the gravitational force, and the craft may be tilted to move the vector away from the axis where a component of acceleration tangential to a surface of a gravitating body is achieved via conservation of angular momentum.
New Future Transportation (NFT) is developing an electric car prototype with wings that aims to solve congestion and also be affordable at $50,000.
You start the car, pull out of the parking lot and hit the road. So far — a routine trip. Now, select flight mode. A pair of wings comes out of the sides of your vehicle and you take off for your destination.
Like the cars in Ridley Scott’s masterpiece “Blade Runner” flying over a dystopian Los Angeles of 2019, the prototype of the vehicle being developed by Silicon Valley-based New Future Transportation (NFT) is theoretically set to sail the skies of the Bay Area in October next year.
NFT Inc. is aiming for the Model T of flying cars and their prototype, which will be able to take off or land vertically and fly on auto-pilot, will be unveiled in Las Vegas
Will flying cars take off at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show?
Well, sort of.
The prototypes won’t be soaring over the Las Vegas Strip during the technology extravaganza which runs from January 8-11.
But a number of flying car designs will be on display, portending what many see as an inevitable airborne future for short-range transport with vertical takeoff and landing, or VTOL.
NFT Inc. co-founders Maki and Guy Kaplinsky, a couple developing a flying vehicle in Israel and California, will have their vision on display at show, with a media session on Sunday.
“We believe we have a winning design that will enable us to make the Model T of flying cars — a low-cost production model,” Guy Kaplinsky told AFP in a Silicon Valley office park where a prototype model was being assembled.
A doorway to the rear of the NFT office in Mountain View opened onto large blue tarps hung from the ceiling to hide the workshop.
A team of veteran aviation engineers is focused on research at the startup’s facility in Israel, and the founders plan to expand the staff of 15 people.
The startup is designing hardware and software, while enlisting original equipment manufacturers to crank out products at scale.
“We learned from Tesla that Elon Musk spent too much time on the production side,” Guy Kaplinsky said.
“We are spending our time on the technology side and will partner with companies on assembly.”
The NFT vehicle with a projected price tag of $50,000 will function as a car, but be able to take off or land vertically and fly on auto-pilot.
Several companies, including Uber and start-ups backed by Google co-founder Larry Page, are working on people-carrying drones or similar flying vehicles.
In Japan, volunteers in a “Cartivator” group are out to build a “Skydrive” flying car and have set their sights on using one to light the flame at the opening of the Olympic games in Tokyo in 2020.
The crowdfunded effort has gotten backing from Japanese auto giant Toyota, where some Cartivator members work.
A scaled-down replica of “Toyota’s flying car” is to be shown at CES.
“Our team consists of people with diverse professional backgrounds and is working hard every weekend towards developing the flying car,” the group said at a cartivator.com website.
“We aim to build a prototype, establish theory of flight control, as well as form alliances with major corporations to make mass production of the flying car a reality.”
NFT is working to marry a plane with a car, meaning no airports or heliports would be needed.
“We believe door-to-door is the solution,” Kaplinsky said.
“Our approach is more for the mom and three kids; you load everyone in the car one time and get where you need to go.”
A smartphone mapping application could be paired to a navigation center hosted in the internet cloud, routing drivers to takeoff points and providing instructions to auto-pilots in cars.
The electric powered NFT vehicle is targeting ranges of 310 miles flying (500 km) and 60 miles driving (100 km).
Kaplinsky said the startup seesUS Federal Aviation Administration approval as early as 2024.
He expected to have a drive-fly vehicle ready to demonstrate late next year.
Kaplinsky felt it likely that, in the long run, flying cars would be part of ride-sharing fleets to make better use than those owned by individuals.
Gartner automotive analyst Mike Ramsey says autonomous flying vehicles are coming, but won’t disrupt the way people travel.
Ramsey said cost, regulation, and battery life are just a few of the hurdles for flying vehicles.
“There still has to be a limit to the number of these things that can be in the air at once,” he said/
While one person with a flying car may be amazing, 500 people in a city darting about in flying cars could bode airborne mayhem.
With the help of engineers from Israeli defense industries, and with funds from the sale of his previous company to General Electric, Guy Kaplinsky is setting out to compete with Hoover and Airbus and develop an Israeli flying car.
“Soon, we won’t only drive and move around on the ground, we’ll also use a flying car, which would enable us to land on roofs and in parking lots on the upper levels of buildings,” Guy Kaplinsky, the co-founder and Chairman of New Future Transportation (NFT ), tells Ynet in an exclusive interview, the first since the startup exited stealth mode.
“The need for change is obvious, due to the increasing congestion in large cities and the ever-increasing traffic problems,” Kaplinsky adds.
A flying car is the “Holy Grail” of the auto and aviation industries, the next revolution after the electric and self-driving car. According to an analysis done by Research and Market, the market reach of manned aerial vehicles based on electric engines is expected to reach $7 billion in 2028. Hoover, Airbus and other big companies are working on their own projects in the field, using different technologies, some of which resemble large quadocopters, while others look like small airplanes.
Kaplinsky’s concept is different: a real dual-use vehicle that can move both in the air and on the ground, the size of a family car with seats for 2-4 passengers, and with an electric propulsion and self-driving systems for driving and flying. It is a vehicle that would not need a special parking spot or a designated landing space. Best of all, it would allow anyone to quickly commute door-to-door from home to work and back again. The price tag would be slightly higher than that of a family car.
Prior to NFT, Kaplinsky founded IQP Corporation with Maki, his wife and business partner, in 2013. The company developed a platform that enables companies to develop their own internet applications without the need for coding. IQP was headquartered in Japan with an R&D center in Israel and was sold in 2017 to General Electric for around $40 million.
NFT is seeking to raise $15 million in funding for their flying car project. The plan is to introduce the first prototype, which would showcase the aerodynamics, ignition and autonomic systems of the vehicle next year, and reach mass production in 2021-2022.
“In Japan, I worked a lot with the local auto industry,” Kaplinsky explains. “I had already come up with the idea of a flying car then, but we were busy with our previous company. After moving to California and selling that company, now it’s the right time to develop the idea.”
You are competing with big companies with a lot of experience in aviation and massive budgets. What do you know that they don’t?
“Many companies in the market are developing a product called a flying car, but it is nothing more than a large quadocopter with 8-18 electric engines. We are working on a different product, which is indeed a flying car, but one that would be able to move on the ground, fly in the air and find a standard parking space at the end of the journey. Our advantages include highly experienced Israeli engineers who think out of the box, Israeli and Japanese engineers working together, special developments in the aerodynamic fields, which include the combination of a car and flight.”
To find the best engineering talent for the venture, Kaplinsky recruited engineers from the Israel Aerospace Industries and from Elbit Systems, including those with FAA certification experience and graduates from Stanford and other Ivy League universities. The company is based in Mountain View in the Silicon Valley and is set to open an office in Netanya.
“We are a US-based Israeli company, which integrates fresh young engineering talent with senior engineers with 45 years of experience in the aviation field,” Kaplinsky notes. “You have to have someone who has already run this marathon once if you want to win.” The company is currently recruiting additional engineering talent with experience in structural engineering, flight control and design.
Kaplinsky won’t reveal the full configuration of the vehicle NFT is building just yet, but he says the strategy is to create a flying vehicle that would be as accessible as possible in terms of its price, rather than being not a “toy” for the rich.
“We are building a Toyota Corolla, not a Ferrari. This vehicle will be driven by propellers, it will be a hybrid and later on completely electric. The goal is to build a vehicle that would allow the users to travel a distance of up to 200 km and reach a large city in less than an hour, door-to-door. It will not be an aerial taxi, like some of the other companies are planning, but a vehicle for personal use,” he explains.
To overcome the need for a flying permit, the company plans a vehicle that would be able to fly autonomously while its user would only need to set the destination. “The user will only have to press a button and the vehicle will take off. The aviation authorities already allow unmanned aerial vehicles to fly autonomously in civil flight routes, although it has not yet been approved for a manned vehicle,” says Kaplinsky. “Large companies are already working on a control system for flying cars, for the new aerial traffic.”
Meanwhile, Kaplinsky is also building a future supplier base: “We have a strategic partner, a senior European supplier from the auto industry, and we are in process of signing with Japanese suppliers. They also understand that flying cars are something that is going to happen and want to be part of this new field. We want to work with suppliers from the auto industry because they are experts in producing quality components that are not as expensive. Therefore, we will be using ‘off-the-shelf’ components. The serial production will be carried out through an existing auto manufacturer and we are already in talks with several.”
A WINGLESS flying car with “land anywhere” technology is set to hit the skies in 2021.
Israeli manufacturer Urban Aeronautics said its CityHawk model will be unleashed in less than three years.
It has 1,000 horsepower with “genuine fly anywhere, land anywhere capability”.
An Aeronautics spokesman described the vehicle as “a true equivalent to a ground taxi or family sedan in both appearance and passenger capacity”.
Its technology was successfully tested earlier this year, with the first manned flights penned in for 2021.
The spokesman added: “Its uniquely compact, ‘wingless’ fuselage and ‘six-degrees-of-freedom-uncoupled’ flight modes deliver true, unencumbered, three-dimensional access and mobility.
“This places it as the first in its class with genuine fly-anywhere, land-anywhere capability.
“Initial development and testing will utilise two, 1,000 horsepower class, turboshaft engines coupled to electric power generators for operating the vehicle’s thruster propellers.
“Upon the issuance of an FAA ‘Type Certificate’ for the basic air vehicle, the company will transition the design of the main power supply for CityHawk to 100% clean, hydrogen propulsion.
“The pre-production ‘configuration freeze’ for CityHawk is the result of having successfully completed a series of customer demonstrations of the company’s unmanned variant, Cormorant, at Urban’s second subsidiary’s, Tactical Robotics Ltd.
“The one-tonne Cormorant has so far completed 250 flights validating the technology that is behind both Cormorant and CityHawk.
“CityHawk’s design is identical to the Cormorant’s configuration however it will be equipped with two engines.”
Earlier this month Daily Star Online revealed that Aston Martin showed off a futuristic flying car that can travel from London to Liverpool in one hour.
In a concept video, the brand showed the three-seater hybrid-electric vehicle at the Farnborough Airshow.
It will be able to hit speeds of 200mph if it hits the skies.
Mobility experts claim it’s just a matter of time before flying cars will be swooping towards a location near you and it turns out some of the first prototypes of these autonomous aerial vehicles are being developed right here in Israel.
Just ask Rafi Yoeli, a veteran of aerospace research and development, who was recently noted as “one of the founding fathers of the unmanned vehicle industry” by US tech industry publisher TechCrunch. Yoeli has put together a team of experts from the Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) for his Yavne-based company Urban Aeronautics to develop a compact vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicle to lift cargo or people in emergency situations, he tells NoCamels.
Yoeli spoke to a group of international and Israeli mobility leaders, entrepreneurs, and investors about whether flying cars are in their future at the TechCrunch Mobility Conference in Tel Aviv on Thursday, the publication’s inaugural one-day event featuring notable industry experts and the best of Israeli tech in the mobility field. It wrapped up TechCrunch’s five-day Tel Aviv Innovation Week, which began on June 3rd.
“There is an awakening of realization that the aerial taxi is a real thing that will happen in the next few years,” Yoeli told NoCamels prior to the conference.

At the conference, TechCrunch took a real interest in the concept of flying cars, asking Waze co-founder Uri Levine during a panel discussion titled “The Future of Transportation” if he would ever travel in one.
After a long pause, Levine replied “Why not?” before quickly pointing out that “flying cars will probably always be illegal in Israel,” given its geo-political situation.
During the discussion, Levine said that travelers and commuters were looking at three main factors when considering transportation, speed, cost, and convenience and that while flying cars may be faster, traveling in them is not likely to be cheap.
Dave Waiser, the CEO and founder of Gett, seemed more enthused, saying the prospect of traveling in a flying car “could be fun,” though there is always the issue of safety.
Both entrepreneurs envisioned a future where cars are driverless, with Levine saying that the generation after the next one will “think we were crazy for driving our own cars.” Waiser said that in 50 years, people will no longer have or need driver’s licenses.
Yoeli was set to hold his own panel discussion about the future of flying cars alongside Eviation Aircraft CEO Omer Bar-Yohay, whose company is developing an all-electric aircraft that flies nine passengers plus two crew members from city to city.
Yoeli’s Urban Aeronautics has been working on a prototype for what it calls the Cormorant, an airborne vehicle that company says will likely find use in war. It is set to be launched in 2021.
The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is a single-engine passenger drone in the works by Urban Aeronautics subsidiary Tactical Robotics. It would be capable of flying and operating inside complex and natural environments where it can be difficult for regular helicopters or other aerial vehicles to maneuver or land, the company says.
The aircraft, Yoeli explains, is “like a helicopter, but without the exposed rotors.” Still, he adds, it “doesn’t look at all like a helicopter” and insists it’s much more “like a car” in that it is the size of a small truck or van.
Like a helicopter, however, the Cormorant will likely be used as an evacuation vehicle in search and rescue operations, there are some key differences between this UAV and a typical helicopter that make it ideal for emergency situations. First, of course, is the fact that it doesn’t need a pilot inside the aircraft – an important breakthrough. Instead, the aircraft can be controlled from the ground or it can be set to fly autonomously.
Helicopters have their limitations, Yoeli points out. They have difficulty maneuvering and landing in certain environments, and sometimes have to land miles away because of difficult terrain. This would not happen with the Cormorant, as it is designed to land in areas that are not possible for the traditional helicopter, he says. A search and rescue helicopter also has a crew, which easily be put in harm’s way, he adds.
Perhaps the biggest difference between Urban Aeronautics’ Cormorant and the traditional VTOL helicopter has to do with the helicopter’s external front and rear rotors, supporting the weight of the helicopter and helping to thrust it forward. A helicopter’s blades can easily get rammed in narrow spaces and cut power lines, he says.
“These rotors get in the way of a search and rescue operation and cannot get into obstructed terrains,” Yoeli says, which doesn’t make them ideal for rescuing injured soldiers. The Cormorant, on the other hand, will have rotors located inside the aircraft, which will not only be safer for landing and for allowing people to stand closer to the aircraft, but it will also be much quieter, even blending with city traffic.
The Cormorant can reach speeds of up to 115mph (185 km per hour) and altitude of up to 18,000 feet (about 5.4 km). It can carry as much as 1,100 pounds (almost 500 kg), the company says.
The aircraft made its first solo flight in November 2016 and despite minor glitches, the test was a success, Urban Aeronautics says.
Since then, the company has conducted over 250 test flights with its prototype.
Yoeli tells NoCamels that the idea for the Cormorant came after the Second Lebanon War in 2006. It was at this point that the Israel Defense Forces realized it needed a new kind of vehicle to rescue wounded soldiers. “Helicopters could not land near where the person was injured,” Yoeli explains, noting that the terrain sloped in many areas making it extremely difficult for a helicopter to touch ground.
“The helicopter would end up needing to land at least a kilometer (a little more than half a mile) away. It was the same problem in Iraq, Afghanistan — especially in urban areas,” he says.
It would also take up to five-and-a-half hours to ferry the wounded from the front lines back to the hospital. The goal was to do it in one hour, Yoeli says, which is what the Cormorant is capable of doing now.
Having no pilot in the aircraft, the Cormorant is said to be able to enter situations too risky for helicopters and deliver supplies or cargo as well as evacuate up to two casualties from the battlefield and transfer them to a base for medical treatment.
Last month, Tactical Robotics completed its first live demonstration of the unmanned aerial rescue vehicle with representatives of the Israel Defense Forces. The milestone was announced at the Israel Combat Rescue and Emergency Medicine conference where the company also presented its unmanned aircraft system.
Yoeli says he hopes the IDF will be the company’s first customer, followed by others.
The company is also working on a manned version of the Cormorant, called the CityHawk, which will be able to hold a maximum of five passengers plus a pilot. Yoeli told Vertical magazine last month that the company “plans to start establishing a certification basis for CityHawk together with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) or Transport Canada as early as this year.”
The Cormorant, too, is tailored to meet FAA requirements for powered lift vehicles though it has not been fully approved yet.
Yoeli says that whether or not flying cars may be in our near future, Urban Aeronautics’ aircraft “has a groundbreaking capability that will change the face of aviation.”

Commercial hemp has a future. With support from Bosch Rexroth, the Belgian agricultural machinery manufacturer, Hyler is implementing a self-propelled harvester including telematics. The fact that the machine will be capable of harvesting other fiber crops in future makes it all the more interesting for agriculture.
Long-fiber plants are regarded as the raw material of the future. They are versatile and help protect the climate because they are carbon-negative, require little water and promote biodiversity. This is particularly true of commercial hemp, which can cope without agrochemicals in an increasingly dry climate. However, industrial harvesting is not trivial. With end-to-end support from Bosch Rexroth, the West Flemish agricultural machinery manufacturer, Hyler has now developed an innovative solution that also excites its users in terms of connectivity.
The harvest-relevant data provides users with valuable information and parameters to optimize the harvesting process, such as the length of the swaths and the layer thickness. In addition, the RCU also records support-relevant data such as consumption, hydraulic pressure or geoposition. This enables Hyler to support its customers with remote diagnostics or remote configuration and ultimately optimize service and maintenance.. "For our customers, telematics is a great benefit, because we can help them immediately in the event of technical problems," says Niels Baert. However, it was also particularly important to Hyler to update the intelligence of the harvesters efficiently without having to send a technician to site. The complete package BODAS Connect Device Connectivity provides tools suitable for mass production including the Bosch IoT Suite platform, which has been proven a million times over. This allows both the firmware of the RCU and RC controllers as well as the driving and working software and the device software of the RCU to be updated over the air in a fail-safe manner (FOTA or SOTA) and managed highly efficiently.
Real-time data from telematics also plays a key role when it comes to fine-tuning the travel drive, working hydraulics and vehicle software. "This information is very important for testing, as there is hardly any historical data for a completely new machine from which ideal behavior can be derived," explains Maarten Van Houtte, responsible Account Development Manager at Bosch Rexroth Belgium. "For this purpose, the RCU provides us not only with important parameters but also with wear and driving conditions with a geographical reference, so that we can compare the target/actual behavior of the hydraulics precisely. This way, we not only find the best solution each time together with the customer, but can also modify it much more efficiently and improve it further in future."
In addition to the safety functions and working hydraulics, the BODAS software developed by Bosch Rexroth also controls the travel drive. On the hardware side, this consists of an A4VG high-pressure axial piston pump and four GFT8120 wheel gears with dynamic braking and integrated A6VE hydraulic motors. The programming is based on standard components from the BODAS software library such as DRC (Drive Control), HLB (High Level Breaking) or ASR. The components required for implementation, such as the controller, sensors and joystick, come from the BODAS Mobile Electronics portfolio. The various circuits of the working hydraulics are driven by reliable Rexroth gear pumps and A10VO/A10VG axial piston pumps as well as a 2-circuit variable displacement pump A30VG with differential lock function, which made it possible to implement the customer-specific hydraulic circuits in a compact, efficient and flexible way.
Supported by Bosch Rexroth's standard solutions and application knowledge, Hyler was not only able to realize inspiring driving behavior and innovative harvesting functions in a short time, but also a high-performance connection to the Internet of Things. "With Bosch Rexroth, we always find the right solution for the individual machine and its components," says Niels Baert. The market interest in the Sativa 200 with the development partner's overall package of reliable hardware, innovative software, and telematics proves him right. Even before the start of production, the first batch was sold out, and Hyler has a waiting list for the current year. Niels Baert is sure that demand will increase even further when the first farmers report on their harvesting experience. "The jointly developed harvester is a real breakthrough for Hyler," he says. "We look forward to advancing the future of fibre crops together, and want to realize many more applications together."

Northern California's watersheds are being clearcut at a rapid rate. The worst offender, Sierra Pacific Industries (SPI), is the largest landowner in the state. SPI began massive clearcutting of its lands about 10 years ago. One quarter million acres have already been converted into monoculture tree farms, and their plan is to destroy 1 million acres of land that contains ecosystems that took millennia to create. In the face of a changing world, the " 'whack 'em and stack 'em " practice of clearcutting is completely outdated as well as dangerous to the future of our water, air climate and wildlife. More info: http://www.thebattlecreekalliance.org/ http://www.stopclearcuttingcalifornia.org/
We the undersigned, believe that industrial-scale clearcutting is:
Converting California%u2019s diverse forests into fire-prone tree plantations
Threatening water quality and quantity
Promoting extensive use of chemical herbicides
Contributing to local and global climate change
Endangering wildlife and their habitat
Damaging private property values and public land values regionally
We call on the State policy makers and State and Federal Agencies to use all means at their disposal to end the destructive practice of clearcutting.
Thank you for your attention to this vital issue.

The Janus face of chlorogenic acid on vascular reactivity: A study on rat isolated vessels
- Tom, Esther Ngo Lemba, Girard-Thernier, Corine, Demougeot, Céline
- Phytomedicine 2016 v.23 no.10 pp. 1037-1042
- acetylcholine, antihypertensive effect, chlorogenic acid, clinical trials, endothelium, hypertension, indomethacin, males, nitroprusside, phenylephrine, polyphenols, rats, signal transduction, vasoconstriction, vasodilation
- Chlorogenic acid (CGA), the main polyphenol contained in coffee, is a major contributor to dietary polyphenol intake. Few studies reported its anti-hypertensive properties but the mechanisms are still indefinite.The present study assessed the direct effect of CGA in endothelium denuded or intact aortic rings from male Wistar rats and the mechanisms involved.CGA induced a direct endothelium-dependent relaxation that was significantly reduced by L-NAME (10⁻⁴M), indomethacin (10⁻⁵M) and combination of apamin (10⁻⁷M) and charybdotoxin (10⁻⁷M). Incubation of rings with CGA induced a dual effect on agonist-induced vasorelaxation. At 10⁻⁶M, it enhanced the relaxant effects of acetylcholine and reduced the contracting effects of phenylephrine due to increased basal and stimulated NOS activity, respectively. At 10⁻⁴M, CGA blunted acetylcholine and bradykinin-induced vasorelaxation, reduced phenylephrine-induced vasoconstriction but did not change the response to sodium nitroprusside, a NO-donor.In summary, CGA induces a direct endothelium-dependent vasodilation by increasing NOS, COX and EDHF signalling pathways. However, this new pharmacological action that can explain some positive effects of CGA in case of hypertension has to be modulated at the light of its deleterious impact on vascular relaxation at high concentrations and incite to be cautious when using high doses of CGA in clinical studies.

There is a lot of attention on the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland. I am certain little will be done that can even slow down the rapidly accelerating environmental chaos for several reasons.
Industrial nations have waited far too long to begin to seriously work to get greenhouse gas emissions under control. While every effort should be made to cut emissions, it is painfully obvious that protecting our environment is not a priority of industrialized nations, which continue to expand fossil fuel projects and to subsidize the fossil fuel industry.
Existing governments’ policies will continue to protect the capitalist economy regardless of the environmental consequences. This means we must replace the capitalist economic system. See also: Rejecting capitalism
There is a time lag between the injection of emissions into the atmosphere, and when the effects of those emissions are seen. If burning fossil fuels ended immediately, carbon dioxide levels would continue to rise.
For thousands of years Indigenous peoples have lived in harmony with Mother Earth. We must follow Indigenous leadership now. See: Indigenous Led Green New Deal
Although the world’s Indigenous population continues to experience unequal access to influential forums such as COP26, they have had an outsize role in calling attention to the impacts of climate change.
Globally, Indigenous people comprise only 5 percent of the population yet manage 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity such as forests, tundra and mountains. And although they exert the smallest carbon footprint, they are among the most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, according to research published in the academic journal, Nature Sustainability.
“Indigenous peoples are action makers, innovators, through their traditional knowledge,” wrote Hindou Oumarou, a member of the Facilitative Working Group, in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals blog. Ibrahim is a member of the Mbororo pastoralist people in Chad and president of the Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad.
“For centuries, Indigenous peoples have protected the environment, which provides them food, medicine and so much more,” she said. “Now it’s time to protect and benefit from their unique traditional knowledge to bring concrete and natural solutions to fight climate change.”
INDIGENOUS LEADERS FACE BARRIERS TO UN CLIMATE CONFERENCE By Mary Annette Pember, Indian Country Today, September 18, 2021
… what if the question all water protectors and land defenders asked was, why don’t we just overturn the system that makes development a threat in the first place? This system, again, is capitalism.
Rather than taking an explicitly conservationist approach, the Red Deal instead proposes a comprehensive, full-scale assault on capitalism, using Indigenous knowledge and tried-and-true methods of mass mobilization as its ammunition. In this way, it addresses what are commonly thought of as single issues like the protection of sacred sites—which often manifest in specific uprisings or insurrections—as structural in nature, which therefore require a structural (i.e., non-reformist reform) response that has the abolition of capitalism via revolution as its central goal.
We must be straightforward about what is necessary. If we want to survive, there are no incremental or “non-disruptive” ways to reduce emissions. Reconciliation with the ruling classes is out of the question. Market-based solutions must be abandoned. We have until 2050 to reach net-zero carbon emissions. That’s it. Thirty years.
The struggle for a carbon-free future can either lead to revolutionary transformation or much worse than what Marx and Engels imagined in 1848, when they forewarned that “the common ruin of the contending classes” was a likely scenario if the capitalist class was not overthrown. The common ruin of entire peoples, species, landscapes, grasslands, waterways, oceans, and forests—which has been well underway for centuries—has intensified more in the last three decades than in all of human existence.
Nation, The Red. The Red Deal (pp. 21-22). Common Notions. Kindle Edition.
Following is a diagram I’ve been working on to illustrate the dangers of capitalism, and the alternatives, LandBack, Abolition, and Mutual Aid.
I’m of the firm opinion that a system that was built by stolen bodies on stolen land for the benefit of a few is a system that is not repairable. It is operating as designed, and small changes (which are the result of huge efforts) to lessen the blow on those it was not designed for are merely half measures that can’t ever fully succeed.
So the question is now, where do we go from here? Do we continue to make incremental changes while the wealthy hoard more wealth and the climate crisis deepens, or do we do something drastic that has never been done before? Can we envision and create a world where a class war from above isn’t a reality anymore?”Ronnie James
mutual aid is the new economy. mutual aid is community. it is making sure your elderly neighbor down the street has a ride to their doctor’s appointment. mutual aid is making sure the children in your neighborhood have dinner, or a warm coat for the upcoming winter. mutual aid is planting community gardens.Des Moines Black Liberation
capitalism has violated the communities of marginalized folks. capitalism is about the value of people, property and the people who own property. those who have wealth and property control the decisions that are made. the government comes second to capitalism when it comes to power.
in the name of liberation, capitalism must be reversed and dismantled. meaning that capitalistic practices must be reprogrammed with mutual aid practices.
Updates from the Wet’suwet’en
Following are updates related to the continuing struggles of the Wet’suwet’en peoples related to the attempted construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline through their territories. One of the reasons I follow this work so closely is because this is a real time example of the Indigenous leadership we need now.
WET’SUWET’EN STRONG, ONE MONTH ON:
Coyote Camp Victory on the Gidimt’en Frontline
We’re celebrating over one month of Wet’suwet’en re-occupation on Cas Yikh yintah, where Coastal GasLink plans to destroy Wedzin Kwa. Our call out for allies was answered! We have boots on the ground and ongoing solidarity actions from our relatives all across so-called canada. This struggle is far from over but we will never give up. We need your support now! Join us at camp or organize where you are.
United, we will no longer endure genocide against our people!
Come to the land. yintahaccess.com/come-to-camp
Host a solidarity rally.
Pressure government, banks, and investors.
Spread the word. #WetsuwetenStrong #AllOutForWedzinKwa #NoPipelineNovember
Gidimt’en Access Point
RBC IS KILLING ME
Oct 29th Global Day of Action
Wet’suwet’en Territories Cas Yikh Yintah
Gidimt’en Checkpoint is turning up the heat and putting pressure on the top five funders of the Coastal GasLink project, like RBC that continue to violate Wet’suwet’en Sovereignty and criminalize Wet’suwet’en title.
These projects spend millions of dollars on Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) who harass and restrict Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs and members from their territories. The RCMP’s violent raids with lethal overwatch and removing us from our own lands are in direct opposition to Indigenous constitutional rights and UNDRIP.
RBCIsKillingMe represents the irreversible destruction that this pipeline brings to the Lands, Salmon, Waters, Our People and all earths inhabitants. It is all of our responsibility to stand up and save the earth and our future generations.
RBC is the biggest funder of fossil fuels in Canada. The company has poured over $200 Billion into fossil fuel investments since the Paris climate agreement was signed. Let’s let these Investors know to Divest in projects that contribute to Climate Chaos and to STOP KILLING US!
On November 1st, the UN climate conference in Glasgow (COP26) will begin, with a focus on climate finance. This provides us with a crucial opportunity to pressure RBC into ceasing fossil fuel investment and respecting Indigenous rights.

Marcus Morris had a very interesting offseason. After initially agreeing to a two-year, $20 million deal with the San Antonio Spurs (a deal that forced them to deal Davis Bertans to Washington), Morris signed a one-year deal with the Knicks worth $15 million.
He had originally hoped to stay with Boston, which might have happened had Kyrie Irving and Al Horford stayed with the Celtics. They didn’t, and according to Morris, the Celtics said goodbye rather unceremoniously.
“In the two years I was here, I was nothing but professional, I did everything right," he told The Athletic. "As a player, you want to get rewarded for those things. I’ve been fighting hard ever since I’ve been in this league, every single year. And I just felt as though just a phone call would have done me justice. So, it is what it is.”
New of the lack of phone call spread pretty quickly, but today on 98.5′s Toucher & Rich, Danny Ainge said he remembered the summer differently.
“I know I talked to him, I know (Celtics assistant coach) Jerome Allen talked to him, and Brad Stevens talked to him also,” Ainge said. “I think what he’s referring to though is that he didn’t receive an offer when he says ‘we didn’t talk to him.’ We didn’t call and try to sign him back and the reason was we were signing Kemba and we were doing all we could and in order for us to get Kemba, we had to renounce our free agents. That’s why we didn’t make him an offer.”
Ainge did say the team tried to re-sign Morris to an extension a year ago.
“We did make Marcus Morris a three-year contract extension offer last summer before the season had started,” Ainge said. “He chose to become a free agent.”
Ainge didn’t say what the amount of that offer was, so it’s not clear how much Morris turned down to get to free agency. Ainge, who reiterated that he and the team still like Morris, said he reached out over the summer to help Morris make his free agency decisions.
“I just called him to talk to him because Jerome Allen, who is very close with him, talked with him and shared some things that were going on in free agency,” Ainge said. “I just called and gave him my two cents worth of some of the process he was going through and gave him some knowledge that I had on what was going on in the free agent market at the time.”
Ainge did not say at what point in the process he called Morris and what guidance he gave.
Morris is averaging 17.9 points per game while hitting 47.6 percent of his 3-pointers for the New York Knicks. The 17.9 points would be a career-high. Morris’ 47.6 percent shooting from 3 is most likely unsustainable, though. He shot 48.4 percent for the Celtics in October of last year and 44.1 percent through December before finishing at 37.5 percent for the season.

LAS VEGAS – The upcoming school year is filled with uncertainty. But thanks to local nonprofit Project 150, at least hundreds of local high school students won’t have to wonder where they’ll get the school clothes and supplies they need most.
Project 150 is kicking off the school year by hosting a free back-to-school teen shopping event at its Betty’s Boutique from Aug. 10 to 21. Any high school student with a valid high school student ID can shop for new clothes, shoes, school supplies and hygiene products in the boutique located at 3600 N. Rancho Drive.
The shelves have been stocked with stylish brands like Levi’s and Citizens of Humanity. Space is limited, so students must register at https://www.project150.org/events.
“We’re grateful for the continued support to help disadvantaged high school students in our community,” said Kelli Kristo, Project 150 executive director. “This is a critical time for them, and we must ensure they have the support that they need to start the school year – virtual or in-person – with confidence and with the supplies they need.”
Project 150 provides homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students with basic necessities. It is in constant need of donated clothing, shoes and heavy-duty backpacks, as well as school supplies, hygiene items and accessories. For more information or to learn how you can help, visit www.Project150.org or call
About Project 150
Project 150 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization, founded in December 2011 by local businessmen Don Purdue and Patrick Spargur. The two had heard about 150 homeless high school students at Rancho High School in Las Vegas who were in need of support over the Christmas break. Since that time, Project 150 has expanded and now serves more than 6,000 registered and non-registered homeless, displaced and disadvantaged high school students in more than 75 schools throughout Nevada. Project 150 provides these students with food, clothing, school supplies, sports equipment, shoes, college and workforce readiness and other needs so they have what they need to continue school and be successful in life. Follow Project 150 on Facebook and Twitter.

“Shit, let me handle this.” Dante said as he stood up. “Dante Knight, you need to come with us.” He grabbed Dante’s arm and started to drag him away. Lydia threw the clipboard down and ran up to the guy and started tugging on his hand.
“What the hell are you doing? Where do you think you’re taking him!?” Another guy grabbed her and pushed her against the wall, “Don’t move, we’ve been authorized to quarantine him. If you continue to struggle we’ll do the same to you.”
“Hey, let her go, she doesn’t know anything. Just take me, let her go!” “Fine, you can stay out here while we question him.” The officer said as he shoved Lydia into a seat. She watched them take Dante into one of the back rooms. The receptionist was told to leave, everyone was told to leave except for them.
Even the people they had in lock up were transported somewhere else. Lydia mentally slapped herself, if she hadn’t stopped at the police station Dante wouldn’t be in a backroom getting tortured for information. When she tried to pull out her phone the officer took it from her, “Sorry, you’re not allowed to tweet about this.”
Lydia rolled her eyes, “I’m 17, I’m not a twitter obsessed tween who tweets every minute of their life. But if I did I would say you’re being a hashtag dick.” she smiled. He muttered something under his breath and walked back down the hall. Lydia looked over at the fire alarm and the fire extinguisher next to it.
She leaned to the left and saw that the guy was going through her phone. Instead of yelling at him for reading her personal messages or going through her photos , she decided to let him. Lydia had an idea and it could get them out of there or get them killed.
“I know that you and Benjamin Cunningham were at the hospital. Did you come in contact with anyone while you were there?” Dante shrugged his shoulders and leaned back in the chair, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Benjamin Cunningham is at home right now, probably sleeping.”
“We have video surveillance of you, Benjamin and Robert Lexington, entering the hospital through a secret elevator entrance.” He leaned his arms on the table, “Well it wasn’t me so maybe it was my twin. They say we all have one.”
The guy stood up and sighed, “Well maybe Benjamin’s daughter can help us, what’s her name…Lydia.” Dante shook his head and reached out, “Wait, please just leave her out of this. She doesn’t know anything, I swear. I’ll tell you whatever you wanna know.”
He smiled and sat back down, “Were you at the hospital with Benjamin and Robert?” “Why are you asking me things you already know?” “Because we don’t know where the others are, but we have you and in order to make sure no one finds out about this. We need to eliminate anyone that could pose a risk.”
“So what you’re going to kill me, Dante laughed until he pulled out his gun, shit you guys must have really messed up this time. But I bet you have cover up stories ready. Gas leak at the hospital?”
He laughed and cocked the gun, “What hospital, it’s gone. Benjamin Cunningham and two others set up bombs in the hospital because he blamed the doctors for killing his wife.” Dante didn’t care that this guy had a gun pointed at him. He jumped from his seat and lunged at the guy.
“You son of bitch!” The guy jumped back and pointed the gun at Dante’s head, “Trust me, this is a merciful death.” He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. That’s when the fire alarm went off. Dante smacked the gun out of his hand, grabbed the chair and slammed it over his head several times.
His body was lying flat against the table, not moving. Dante ran over, grabbed the gun and the folder the guy had with him. The emergency lights were dim so he couldn’t tell whether or not the guy was breathing.
He hesitated at the door and thought about going over and seeing if the guy was in fact dead but then Dante heard Lydia scream from the other side of the door. When Dante opened the door he saw her on the floor, trying to get away from one of the army guys. She drew her leg back and kicked him until he let go of her leg.
He pointed the gun at him and helped her off the ground. “Don’t move!” Dante yelled to the guy as he reached for what he was guessing was a gun on his leg. “You okay?” Lydia asked him. “Yeah, he turned towards the guy and pushed Lydia behind him, hand over any weapons you have then handcuff yourself to that bench.”
The guy slid over two more guns, a knife and a can of maise. Dante picked them up and handed Lydia one of the guns, “Do you know how to use one of these?” She nodded and took the gun. The cop handcuffed himself to the bench. I was about to leave when Lydia walked over to him,
“Wait, she reached into his pocket and grabbed a phone, I can’t wait to tweet about this.” she said.


BYDV infection is now making itself apparent in many crops. Some of the infections are severe and some are clearly later infections with much milder symptoms, similar to those seen in spring barley most years.
The cause is obvious. A mild winter that did not stop continued aphid activity, combined with excessively wet ground conditions, which prevented any spray applications to the crops for the four months November through to February.
The severe infections, by and large, are in the crops that were not treated with Deter (clothianidin) seed treatment, while those that were treated with Deter are only showing signs of late infection. This should be a salutary warning for the future, as from this autumn most pyrethroid aphicides used for BYDV control will have either 12m or 18m arthropod buffer zones on field headlands as part of their approval for use.
It should be a no-brainer that in the future winter cereal seed should be treated with Deter if it is being planted early enough to be at risk or in a high risk geographical area.
At the time of writing, most winter barley crops are rapidly approaching awn emergence and will be receiving their T2 fungicides imminently.
Septoria continues to be a concern as the season progresses. Most crops in the area received a fairly well timed T0 fungicide application, but many of the T1 applications went a little awry due to a wet and very windy week just as many were popping their final leaf 3 out.
With further rain in the forecast and a huge amount of inoculum in the bottom of the wheats, a well-timed T2 application is going to be critical to keeping plants as clean as possible. The best possible fungicide would be three weeks with no rain, but if this were to happen it would be devastating for many spring crops.
There is a large area of spring barley in the area this year. The early planted crops have been slow to emerge and establish, which is never good for spring barley and the later planted ones have a lot of growing to do in a short period of time. Having had a run of several vintage spring barley years it is looking like the wheels, to some degree, could come off this year.
The country’s “Cinderella” crop, winter oats has enjoyed a wet winter and a slow start to the spring and are looking very promising. Due to the slow start, they are not looking too “lodgey”, which is always a good sign.
This is a crop that we are constantly being told is the “future” and is going to be required in ever increasing quantities. It is therefore a shame that buyers do not seem willing to pay a sensible price for a grain that is evidently in demand. If it is indeed a super food and required for all sorts of non-food uses as well then surely it must be worth the same as basic feed wheat.
The planting of maize, which in the region is a major crop, is at long last well under way, but it has been a long wait for soil temperatures to get to 8C and be on a rising plane. For maize to do well we could now do with a day or two of warm rain and a spell of weather where neither day or night time temperatures drop too low.

Arts Week with Judy Murphy
Spotless, written by TV and theatre writer Gary Duggan, which stars Ciara O’Callaghan and Emma Willis, is coming to the Town Hall Theatre next Thursday, May 2, for one performance only, as part of a national tour of Ireland.
Spotless is part-drama, part-thriller, with a healthy dose of black humour. It tells the story of two very different women, Genevieve and Jenny, whose lives become intertwined when they find themselves (unbeknownst to each other) in a relationship with the same mysterious young man, Dean.

It’s very frustrating to see your fish keep dying. And it becomes more frustrating because you don’t have any idea how to prevent it. Leaving you wondering what is making them part and whether you have done something wrong.
How do fish died suddenly?
If you have lost some fish in a short space of time, it could be an accident. however, it’s miles worth maintaining a watch on the scenario in case there’s something in the aquarium
Today, I will show you some reasons why your puppy fishes are always dying.
Reasons why all my fishes are always dying.
Stress is one of the biggest reasons aquarium fish keep dying. It could marvel you, but just like people, fish can grow to be confused without problems, which can be terrible for their fitness. The more pressure they experience, the extra prone they may be to catching illnesses, and the extra they battle to fight these ailments off.
Stress may be because of loud noises, needless substrate changes, fingers being positioned in the fish tank, and another fish bullying. It’s satisfactory to avoid traumatic the fish tank unless, without a doubt, essential.
To prevent the fish from choosing on each other, it’s well worth checking that the fish you purchase are well-matched earlier than setting them collectively within the tank. Some fish species can’t live in concord, and you might discover one or two fish chasing others around the tank or nipping their fins.
2) Untreated tap water:
Faucet water is excellent for aquarium fish so long as you have got used an aquarium water conditioner. Without the aquarium water conditioner, the chlorine and chloramine in the faucet water can kill the fish. For Prevention, buy a bottle of aquarium water conditioner. They’re available anywhere. An open bottle can final for an entirely long time. And it works nearly straight away while you upload it to the faucet water.
3) Use an aquarium heater:
As we know, tropical fish are from warm water ranged from 70~80f+ (over 20c). Unless you stay in a tropical location, the fish tank’s water can’t be heat enough without an aquarium heater.
In view that most of the fish in the aquarium fish trade are tropical fish, they are greater touchy to the water temperature. For Prevention, We must use an aquarium heater in a tropical fish aquarium, or the fish will freeze to death.
Overfeeding is one of the biggest reason why aquarium fish died overnight. You could worry that your fish are hungry and will die if they aren’t fed sufficiently. However, it is extra harmful to provide your fish with an excessive amount of Overfeeding is a not unusual hassle and one that may be risky even if you’re the handiest responsible for it on occasions.
Uneaten meals will sink to the lowest of the fish tank and gradually decompose, growing the amount of ammonia in the aquarium. one way of sucking up all of the uneaten food is bottom-feeding fish like a catfish to scoff any leftovers.
Simple water adjustments also can help to minimize any results of overfeeding. However, Prevention is higher than treatment, so it’s miles great not to overfeed within the first area.
5) Rapid Water Changes:
This is also the very main reason fish died immediately in new tank. in a wholesome, established tank, water chemistry is cautiously balanced with resident fish, vegetation, and microorganism. Quick converting large quantities of the water will disrupt that chemistry and shock fish, inflicting death. Water does need to be changed from time to time, but sudden, large adjustments can be harmful.
For Prevention, exchange water slowly, swapping handiest small portions, and waiting 2-3 days before converting more significant water so the fish can acclimate to sluggish chemistry modifications.
6) unsuitable fish food:
Some people feed fish random food items such as rice and bread. It does not work that way. Fish have very different diet requirements. They need mostly easy to digest source of protein and fat. Carbohydrate is useless to most fish species. They can’t sustain themselves by eating rice, bread, or any random human foods.
Another example is, some marketers sold betta fish in a flower vase with a plant. They claim the betta and the plant will sustain each other. How? Betta might be hungry enough to chew on the plant roots, just like humans in famine might eat grass roots and tree skin. But they will still die of malnutrition because betta fish is a carnivore that feeds on live insects in the water. For Prevention, Buy a bottle of real fish food. They will last months. With some supplements such as bloodworm and brine shrimp as nutrition treats.
7) lack of oxygen:
fish wishes dissolved oxygen within the water. They’ll die if the dissolved oxygen in the fish tank runs out. Several matters can purpose it to occur.
- the fish tank is too small. Less water approach, much less dissolved air.
- overstocked the aquarium with too many fish. The extra fish you’ve got, the extra oxygen they want. the water temperature is too high. The higher the water temperature, the less dissolved oxygen.
- The water temperature is too high. The higher the water temperature, the less dissolved oxygen.
- There’s no air pump.
For Prevention, You need an aquarium air pump. So, it can substantially boom the rate of gasoline exchange among the water and ecosystem.
I hope after this guide you will able to know the reason why your fish keep dying.

Amazon workers look to unionize A committee of employees at Amazon’s recently opened Staten Island fulfillment center is going public with a unionization campaign, a fresh challenge to the e-commerce giant in a city where it plans to build a major new campus. Labor unrest is the latest complication in Amazon’s plan to invest $2.5 billion and hire 25,000 people in the city over the next 15 years. Several New York City politicians who were shut out of negotiations handled by the governor and mayor have raised objections to a new office park in Queens that threatens to overload mass transit and drive up rents in an already expensive housing market. Now workers in a another borough are saying the company treats them like robots and should be focused on improving conditions there rather than raking in tax breaks to build a new headquarters. The union they’re working with sees the up to $3 billion in incentives offered to bring an Amazon office campus to Long Island City as leverage to prevent the company from retaliating against them for organizing. Employees backing the union effort said issues at the warehouse include safety concerns, inadequate pay, and 12-hour shifts with insufficient breaks and unreasonable hourly quotas, after which they lose more of their day waiting unpaid in long lines for security checks. .

ABBOTSFORD, B.C.—Unlike many days in recent weeks, there are hardly any people on 2nd Avenue in Abbotsford’s Huntingdon Village this day.
A wall of green sandbags, built by the military, starts just a few metres from where floodwaters had mangled the train tracks into a twisted mess. From there, the wall crosses 2nd Avenue and continues along the tracks for about half a kilometre until it bends out of view.
For more than a week, this was where residents had come, hoping to see floodwaters receding.
Now, as the water level continues to lower and the last of the forecasted atmospheric rivers has passed, their eyes are no longer glued to the sandbags that had represented their final line of defence against water from the Nooksack River.
They’re looking instead at the destruction that will be theirs to clean up.
On the other side of the wall, the road is littered with pop, vitamin, liquor and yogurt bottles swept out of a nearby recycling facility by floodwaters.
The only sound under these grey skies is the wind and the clanging of bottles and cans as Dwayne Forsberg does his best with a pipe, shovel or whatever else he can use, to keep a culvert clear so the water can drain.
“This time around, we got lucky; (the water) is travelling east,” says Forsberg, who lives nearby. “We’re basically at the mercy of the Nooksack.”
As the flooding increased, Forsberg, who works at the recycling plant, saw the water overtake it and had trouble sleeping, wondering if his home would be next.
Wednesday, the first day of December, marked a turning of a page for storm-battered southern British Columbia. With the start of the new month, a barrage of unprecedented rainstorms were forecast to end, providing respite from the looming threat of floods and landslides sweeping away people’s homes, livelihoods and even lives.
In the months to come, B.C. will change gears from sandbagging and rescuing people in fishing boats and helicopters, to a massive and painful cleanup effort.
The full scale of the task ahead is not yet determined, but officials say repairing the damaged infrastructure will be costlier than any disaster in recent memory in B.C. The personal toll on people whose homes were flooded, and whose livestock perished underwater, is another cost that will never be fully accounted.
What is known as the storms come to an end is that B.C.’s November rainfall was deadly and destructive. The bodies of four people were recovered after a highway mudslide that swept away at least five. About 500 cattle and tens of thousands of chickens drowned in the Sumas region of Abbotsford. Several highways serving as key connections between Vancouver and the rest of the country had sections obliterated.
The toll of the B.C. storms so far
people died in a mudslide on B.C.’s highway 99 during the rainfall, with one person still missing.
cattle died in the Fraser Valley floods, with more likely to be euthanized after sustaining health issues. Tens of thousands of chickens also perished.
of water would have gathered in an empty Olympic sized pool in November in southern B.C., enough to fill one quarter of the pool.
highways closed in B.C. during the height of the flooding. Repairs to major highways and bridges in B.C. will cost billions of dollars and take months to complete.
people were evacuated from their homes at the height of the flooding, covering 6,900 properties. Many of those will be lost to flood damage.
is the cost of repairing infrastructure in Abbotsford alone, according to the mayor.
times all or parts of Mission, B.C. have been evacuated in 2021, including both fire and flood evacuations.
peak height of the water in Washington State's Nooksack River at a particular point in November. The median height at that point is under 44 metres. The Nooksack overflow is what caused major flooding in the Sumas area of Abbotsford.
At the height of the flooding, 17,000 people were evacuated from 6,900 homes across the province. Work to repair those homes will be long and costly.
What kind of repairs will people face?
Jean-Pierre Bardet, the University of Miami’s former dean of engineering, with expertise in water and civil engineering, says that severe flooding can damage the foundation of homes, which precipitates widespread structural damage.
“If the slab or the foundation is damaged, this could be really, really detrimental,” he says. “This would be very expensive to fix and could actually generate all kinds of damage to the structure on top of the foundation.”
Home foundations could be affected by flooding in a variety of ways — through erosion of the ground around it, causing the foundation to cave in, or pooling of water that can cause the foundation to swell.
Either way, shifts to the foundation are all but certain to cause a house’s structure to warp, potentially leaving the entire home uninhabitable.
In general, Bardet says, homes with deeper foundations fare better, and homes affected by higher floodwaters fare worse.
Insurance companies will have to assess the damage to flooded homes, for those who have insurance that covers flooding. The Red Cross has distributed $5.8 million to B.C. households affected by the flooding, according to B.C. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth.
There’s also the floodwater itself, which can stir up harmful bacteria such as e-coli.
“For example, you could have release of septic tank contents in the house. Imagine the smell and the risks to public health,” Bardet says. “That cleaning up can be substantial and would imply removal of all places where this polluted water can penetrate.”
Farmlands have likewise been inundated with water that has potentially been polluted by garbage, bacteria and household items it swept up.
Just off the now-closed Trans-Canada Highway, between Abbotsford and Chilliwack, sits Nature’s Pickin’s meat and produce market. In the produce section, next to neatly stacked carrots and celery, store manager Bryan Hensley is arranging vegetables.
At the height of the summer season, as much as 70 per cent of the goods sold in the market would come from the fields surrounding the busy street it is on.
But now there’s fear setting in, Hensley says, as the agriculture industry does not yet know how the flood damage could affect next year’s crops. Farmers likely won’t know until they start preparing for the next growing season.
“I feel that a lot of local farmers won’t be able to grasp the depth of any losses or damages occurred until that time hits when they’re getting ready to look at new operations,” he says.
He says the floods were especially hard because of the hits farmers have already taken due to COVID-19. Now, they must wait to see the lingering effects of the floods in respect to field contamination.
Talk of relief and government assistance is welcomed by those in the flood zone. But others are still in limbo.
Kelly Jodway has been living in his minivan outside of the Abbotsford Tradex Centre for two days since his rental home was flooded.
Jodway says he’d rather not take a cot inside the Tradex, which is being used as an evacuation centre, in case someone else needs it. He just goes inside to eat or use the facilities, he says, but the water destroyed the rental unit in which he lived. He doesn’t know what’s next for him.
Yet as far as the cleanup from the floods goes, he’s already planning to be on the front lines. Starting at the Tradex.
“I’ll help as much as I can; there’s people who need help here,” Jodway says.
“I’ll do what I can.”
