“Over the past 20 years, Paris has undergone a major physical transformation, trading automotive arteries for bike lanes, adding green spaces and eliminating 50,000 parking spaces. Part of the payoff has been invisible — in the air itself.” Leadership, strategy, real action, common sense. #Paris
CDA Warns Against AfD Framing of Local Election Issues - Osna.FM

You’ll see online that there is a lunar #eclipse on 7 September.
However, for us in #melbourne it will already be the 8th when the eclipse starts.
The Moon will enter the Earth’s penumbra at 1:29am and will slowly start to darken over the next hour.
By 2:30am it will enter the umbra, the dark part of the shadow. It will fully enter that by 3:30am.
At that point it will turn red, as light from all sunrises and sunsets passing through our atmosphere will be the only thing illuminating it.
Totality will last until 4:55am. The Moon will enter relatively deep into the umbra, so totality lasts a while and may be quite dark.
An hour later, the Moon will have left the umbra and will start to brighten again.
We’ll miss the final part, as the Moon will set still half in the penumbra by 6:30am.

Not unexpectedly, the continued hostility from the US towards the World Trade Organisation & Trump's ratcheting up of trade interventions (tariffs), has prompted a coalition of the willing to emerge at the WTO & begin to organise a ad-hoc 'rules-based' trading group that would complement other free trade blocs outside the USA.
While there is a lot of work to do, the pivot away from the US market continues & once underway may prove (for the US) difficult to subsequently reverse!

Und die "Analogie" mit dem Berg ginge so : Man weiß, das Bestätigen des Berges ist anstrengend, entscheidet sich aber das das zu tun, weil es ein super super Gefühl ist am Gipfel zu stehen und es einem SELBER Zufriedenheit gibt. Allerdings beschwert man sich während der ganzen Tour andauernd bei denen, die im Pool im Tal baden, das alles Scheiße ist und kein Lift da ist.

!["AT THE END of June, the United Nations released a new report which denounced 48 companies it claimed had profited from “the Israeli economy of illegal occupation, apartheid, and [...] genocide” in Palestine.
The report by the UN’s Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Francesca Albanese, claimed that “far too many” companies had profited from the decades-long conflict.
Albanese called for these companies to end their complicity in “human rights violations and international crimes” or “be held to account”.
Earlier this week, Norway’s wealth fund made headlines when it divested from Caterpillar – one of the companies on the list – over the use of its machinery by Israel to demolish Palestinian properties in the West Bank and Gaza.
But the country is not the only one whose sovereign wealth fund invests in companies that are named on the UN list.

This morning's email from my favorite local garden and landscape company got me good. 😅 Among other things, picked up a $5 coreopsis in rough (but revivable) shape that came with a purslane ridealong and an enormous $5 begonia hanging basket that I can probably overwinter.
Oh… and two Starship cardinal flowers, because I cannot dang well help myself. 😬 Plus an enormous swamp milkweed because it was $12.50 and if nothing else it will be worth it for all the seedpods. :3

From Wikipedia:
Herman Melville has an early reference to the crackers in Book XXII, Chapter I, of his 1852 novel Pierre; or The Ambiguities:
For all the long wards, corridors, and multitudinous chambers of the Apostles' were scattered with the stems of apples, the stones of prunes, and the shells of peanuts. They went about huskily muttering the Kantian Categories through teeth and lips dry and dusty as any miller's, with crumbs of Graham crackers.
