AUGUSTA, Maine — "Summer has arrived in Maine, bringing rising temperatures and longer days. But when the heat becomes dangerous or oppressive, community cooling centers help support those who need an escape from the heat and humidity.

"The centers are often located in public spaces, such as recreation centers or libraries. They typically open for short-term purposes.

"While the primary purpose is to save lives by getting people out of potentially dangerous heat conditions, cooling centers may also provide charging stations, showers, or food.

"The latest listings for cooling centers are on the Maine Emergency Management Agency's [#MEMA] website. We've included a roundup here as well as additional resources to help you stay safe this summer when temperatures rise.

#HomelessShelters

"State and local resources are available for people who are experiencing homelessness or are in need of housing or heating support. Link below for more information.

"For direct assistance to find resources available near you, dial 211 or call 1-877-463-6207; text your ZIP code to 898-211; or email info@211maine.org.
What are the risks?

"According to the Maine Emergency Management Agency, heat-related illnesses in the state more often occur when temperatures reach the mid-80s or higher.

“Heat-related illnesses, like heat exhaustion or heat stroke, happen when the body is not able to properly cool itself,” according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “While the body normally cools itself by sweating, during extreme heat, this might not be enough. In these cases, a person's body temperature rises faster "

"Place of the Eels by Christopher Tobin honours Parramatta - or Burramatta - as the home of the eels.

This year’s NAIDOC theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy' reflects on the Dharug people's enduring knowledge systems and the importance of passing their stories on.

Tobin explains that the ‘barra’ (eel) was an important food source for the local Baramadagal. Each Autumn, the lagoons around Parramatta provided abundant food as mature eels prepared for their 5,000km journey to the Coral Sea to give birth to the next generation. These seasonal gatherings drew Aboriginal groups from across the region together to share knowledge, celebrate culture, and build a legacy."

Because we need a chuckle in these dark times: in 1997, a Texas county changed their official greeting. "Hello" was unacceptable, because it - gasp - has the word "hell" in it.
So I guess every time you say "hello" to someone, Satan wins?
The official county greeting became... "heaven-o." I wish this was satire and not what actually happened.
This is what religion does to people.
People need critical thinking skills - not religious indoctrination.

Say Goodbye to 'Hello' and Hello to 'Heaven-o'

Language: Texas county adopts celestial reference as official greeting after businessman says conventional one contains the word 'hell.' Linguist points out fallacy.

Is anyone discussing this in #London?

Light pollution has risen in recent years, mainly due to urban expansion, the proliferation of artificial lighting and the use of LED technologies, which allows to emit more light at the same cost. Artificial lights at night disturb many diurnal and nocturnal species alike, causing disruptions in dark-light cycles and reproductive, foraging and orientation behavior, among other issues.

Lighting at night also impacts human health, such as by disrupting people's sleep cycles. However, debates around public lighting tend to be "all or nothing"—with residents' needs on one side and those of biodiversity on the other—and revolve around urban lighting being turned off.
