Climate change is driving plant die-offs in Southern California, UCI study finds
Irvine, Calif., June 21, 2021 – A shift is happening in Southern California, and this time it has nothing to do with earthquakes. According to a new study by scientists at the University of California, Irvine, climate change is altering the number of plants populating the region's deserts and mountains. Using data from the Landsat satellite mission and focusing on an area of nearly 5,000 square miles surrounding Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, the research team found that between 1984 and 2017, vegetation cover in desert ecosystems decreased overall by about 35 percent, with mountains seeing a 13 percent vegetation decline.

UCI and international institutions link Southeast Asia megadrought to drying in Africa
Irvine, Calif., Aug. 21, 2020 – Physical evidence found in caves in Laos helps tell a story about a connection between the end of the Green Sahara – when once heavily vegetated Northern Africa became a hyper-arid landscape – and a previously unknown megadrought that crippled Southeast Asia 4,000 to 5,000 years ago. In a paper published today in Nature Communications, scientists at the University of California, Irvine, the University of Pennsylvania, William Paterson University of New Jersey and other international institutions explain how this major climate transformation led to a shift in human settlement patterns in Southeast Asia, which is now inhabited by more than 600 million people.

Greenhouse gas and particulate pollution emissions drive regional drying around the globe
Despite devastating impacts of drought on human and natural systems, the reasons why long-term regional drying occurs remain poorly understood.
Research led by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) scientists have identified two signatures or "fingerprints" that explain why arid conditions are spreading worldwide, and why the Western United States has tended towards drought conditions since the 1980s while the African Sahel has recovered from its prolonged drought. The research appears in the July 6 edition of Nature Climate Change.

Know the risks of investing in forests
Some governments are counting on planted forests as offsets for greenhouse gas emissions—a sort of climate investment. But as with any investment, it's important to understand the risks. If a forest goes bust, researchers say, much of that stored carbon could go up in smoke.
Forests can be best deployed in the fight against climate change with a proper understanding of the risks to that forest that climate change itself imposes.

Roswell slides 'mystery' debunked
Posted on May 12, 2015	by Dr David Clarke
The so-called 'Roswell slides' have been exposed as having nothing to do with aliens and everything to do with the will to believe that underpins the UFO syndrome.
What the caption on the exhibit actually says (credit: Nippa Downey)
What Nick Redfern calls 'the biggest soap opera since Dallas' came crashing down less than a week after the slides were first exhibited at a ticket-only, pay-per-view event in Mexico City on 5 May.
Research by a crack team of skeptics has established beyond reasonable doubt that the 'alien' inside the glass case is in fact the mummy of a child who was born and died on this planet.
As I pointed out at the time 5 May 2015 is exactly twenty years since the fake alien autopsy film was unveiled in London. That was also supposed to show images of aliens recovered from a flying saucer that crashed near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947.
But the links between the slides exhibited in Mexico City and Roswell were even more tenuous than those claimed for the alien autopsy footage.
Even before access to high resolution images of the slides was obtained, skeptics had drawn comparisons between the body shown and a child's mummy.
On his Mysterious World blog Redfern drew attention to the hair-covered head of an animal, accompanied by a label, that was visible behind the remains of the child mummy. Nick suspected this pointed to both being exhibits in a freak-show or museum of curiosities,
But the coup de grace was delivered by the Roswell Slides Research Group that was formed to critically evaluate claims that were being made about the significance of the images on the slides.
One of the group used a piece of commercially-available software to clean up the blurry text that was visible on the museum label visible beside the glass case in which the mummy was exhibited.
A press release issued by the group on 11 May explains what happened next:
"Following a bit of work by various members of the team over a period of a few hours…the words 'MUMMIFIED BODY OF TWO YEAR OLD BOY' were clear. with 3 further lines of text seeming to say something like 'at the time of burial the body was clothed in a …. cotton shirt. Burial wrappings consisted of these small cotton blankets. Loaned by Mr …. San Francisco, California'…
"…various other researchers have now duplicated and accepted those results. Most members of the UFO community have now moved on to ask how the text was not clear to the promoters of the slides before a big show was held in Mexico and whether the actions of those few individuals will do lasting damage to the wider field of UFO research'.

In the early hours of today, Former Union Minister of State and ex-BJP leader Jaywantiben Mehta passed away following a brief illness.
The 78 year old breathed her last at 1:25 am.
According to BJP spokesperson Keshav Upadhye, her last rites took place at the Shivaji Park crematorium in Mumbai at 5:30 pm.
Jaywantiben was the minister of state in Atal Bihari Vajpayee's cabinet.
Jaywantiben Mehta was a housewife-turned politician. Six years ago, Jaywantiben had released a book called 'Marching with Time', an autobiography wherein her life's journey from a home-maker to a municipal corporator, parliamentarian and onto being a Union Minister is detailed.
Jaywantiben ventured into politics in the year 1962, after which she was elected as Mumbai's municipal corporator in 1968.
She served in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly from 1978 to 1985.
In 1988, she became the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) secretary.
She was the President of the Mahila Morcha of BJP from 1991 to 1995 and the Vice President of BJP from 1993 to 1995.
In 1975 when Emergency was declared, Jaywantiben Mehta was imprisoned for 19 months.
BJP MP Kirit Somaiya said, "Jaywantiben was a mass leader of BJP-Janasangh and taught me leadership in public service."
In his condolence message, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis described Jaywantiben as a grassroots worker and leader.
PM Modi tweeted: Saddened by the passing away of Jaywantiben Mehta. We remember her rich contribution to the nation. Condolences to her family.
A Delhi court commented on Vijay Mallya saying, "He has scant regard for the law of the land and has no intention to return to India."

UNC-Chapel Hill Board of Trustees pass pro-free speech resolution
The University of North Carolina Board of Trustees unanimously adopted a resolution in favor of academic freedom and campus freedom of speech following a review of new student survey, The Carolina Journal reported August 3. The resolution is in the agenda document.
"University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Tenure Policy affirms this commitment [to freedom of inquiry by faculty] by acknowledging that 'it is the policy of the University to maintain and encourage full freedom, within the law, of inquiry, discourse, teaching, research, and publication and to protect any member of the faculty against influences, from within or without the University, which would restrict the faculty member in the exercise of these freedoms in his or her area of scholarly interest,'" the resolution stated.
The resolution also committed the university to the Chicago Principles on free speech and the University of Chicago Kalven Committee Report on the University's Role in Political and Social Action, which "recognizes that the neutrality of the University on social and political issues 'arises out of respect for free inquiry and the obligation to cherish a diversity of viewpoints.'"
The principles also affirm "'a heavy presumption against the university taking collective action or expressing opinions on the political and social issues of the day,'" according to the statement.
"Our universities, particularly, should be the place where we most expect the freedom to challenge the status quo, both in society and amongst the folks in the institution itself," Trustees Vice Chair John Preyer said during the July 27 taped meeting (pictured), which was posted to YouTube August 4 by The James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal.
"We should expect this to be a place where we are encouraged to understand and articulate positions other than our own in a fair and honest manner," Preyer said.
The meeting vote followed a presentation on a new survey from UNC faculty on how comfortable conservative, moderate and liberal students are in expressing their views on campus, according to The Richmond Observer.
The survey had collected responses from randomly selected students at several University of North Carolina schools, including UNC-Chapel Hill, Appalachian State, and N.C. Central University, The Carolina Journal reported.
Liberal students felt the most comfortable sharing their view, but a greater share of conservatives felt "uncomfortable giving honest opinions in class" on issues including race, police, and immigration, the Carolina Journal reported.
However, the survey also found that "students across the political spectrum want more opportunities to engage with those who think differently."
"Among students who identify as liberal, there is often more support for inviting more conservative speakers than for inviting more liberal speakers" the survey stated.
"We talk a lot about diversity, equity, and inclusion," Board of Trustees member Marty Kotis stated during meeting. "Diversity also means diversity of opinions and freedom to explore thoughts. I just feel like we could say it's the most critical issue going on right now. And it certainly is among conservative families out there when they're deciding where to send their children."

Building Musical Imaginations
On October 7, 2019 October 7, 2019 By justiceartscoalitionIn Blog
by Dr. Kevin Shorner-Johnson
Our newest podcast episode, Singing Connected Relationships in Prison Contexts with Dr. Mary Cohen is an exploration of the power of imagination as a part of restorative, redemptive, and community-building work within prison contexts. When the word "empathy" was introduced into the Western lexicon by Robert Vischer in 1873, the notion of empathy was rooted in an imaginative ability to feel into works of art (Laurence, 2015). Rachel Corbett (2016) writes, "Empathy explained why people sometimes describe the experience of 'losing themselves' in a powerful work of art. Maybe their ears deafen to the sounds around them . . . or they lose track of the passage of time" (p. 22). Empathy may be a process of losing the self in the moment to construct new identities and interconnected communities within imaginative space.
Mary Cohen conducts the Oakdale Community Choir
Mary Cohen and Jennie Henley (2018) recently wrote about the imagination of possible selves as "cognitive bridges between the past and future." As I listened to prison insiders/outsiders offer introductions to concert songs and read stories within the Oakdale choir, I began to understand the power of articulating imaginations in a public space. Many choir members' spoken introductions articulate who the self is and who the self wants to be. This ritual of public proclamation within a choral concert offers members opportunities to reimagine a new sense of self within the shared accountability of concert space.
Similarly, my earlier conversation with Elizabeth Parker (2018) explored how women's choirs allow girls to construct new senses of social identity that imagine the possibility of who they are and can become as women. Parker writes that women's choir participants "felt a sense of mattering" that supported them in literally and metaphorically "opening up my voice and me." Maybe a sense of mattering is the fertile soil which supports imagination and the development of voice and personhood.
I am also captivated by the interplay of imagination within Mary Cohen's notion of ubuntu as the work of humanized community building. South African ubuntu is the process of being a person through other persons; a process that engages our imaginative and empathetic capacity to explore, sense, and live into a sense of oneness. Desmond Tutu (1999) articulates that through the oneness of ubuntu, forgiveness reclaims humanness. He says, "What dehumanizes you inexorably dehumanizes me. It [Ubuntu] gives people resilience, enabling them to survive and emerge still human despite all efforts to dehumanize them" (p. 31).
Prominent peacebuilders and theologians have noted the centrality of imagination and connectedness as foundations of empathy and compassion. Bridget Moix (2019) notes that peacebuilders speak of "the ability to imagine new futures as a critical 'tool' and a source of 'power' in the process of peacebuilding." Imagination can make hope visible, opening futures of possibility and empowering practices of compassion. The power of artistic or prophetic imagination, according to Brueggeman (1978), is that it allows individuals to lose a sense of numbness and reclaim humanness through awakened senses and emotions. It is for this reason that imagination is one of our three pillars of peacebuilding in our new Master of Music Education program at Elizabethtown College.
This podcast with Dr. Mary Cohen that has challenged the way I think about the role of imagination within identity, restoration, and healing. As arts advocates, we all know of the power of the arts in awakening creative imaginations. The emerging research from Dr. Cohen, Dr. Parker, and the neuroscience of social connection may help us frame our intentions in building selves and connecting communities.

This morning, Senator Sachs participated in The Office Depot Foundation's National Backpack Program which provides free backpacks to at-risk youth nationwide. She spoke to the children, telling them to fill up their new backpacks with "big dreams and big ideas." Through this event, Office Depot donated approximately 6,000 backpacks to children in the Delray Beach area. These backpacks come packed with essential school supplies. This year alone, 350,000 children will receive new backpacks thanks to the charitable efforts of the Office Depot Foundation. Since 2001, 2.5 million children nationwide have benefited from this program. "I commend Office Depot for their dedication to community service, even in times of economic hardship," said Senator Sachs.

Malhotra's return to ice draws mixed feelings
Social Links for Larry Brooks
More On: new york rangers
Rangers rebound from late collapse with win over Golden Knights
Ben Harpur treats 'every day as a tryout' as new blue line defenseman
James Dolan makes familiar Rangers comments during defiant interview
In February, when Alain Vigneault was coaching the Canucks, he and general manager Mike Gillis essentially forced Manny Malhotra onto injured reserve for the remainder of the 2012-13 season because they believed effects from a severe left eye injury a year earlier had compromised the center's ability to protect himself on the ice.
Saturday night, Malhotra skated against Vigneault's Rangers at the Garden in his second game as a member of the Hurricanes, having signed as a free agent with Carolina this week following a tryout with the club's AHL Charlotte affiliate.
"I understood what Alain and Mike did and their motivation behind it, but as I said from the beginning, that did not reflect what I felt about the situation," Malhotra told The Post before the Rangers' 5-1 victory. "I felt that I was trending upward at the time and getting to where I needed to be.
"I'm disappointed in myself that I didn't take a more aggressive stance in stating my position and attempting to remain on the roster. I knew even during the meeting that I would move on and attempt to play this year and that free agent space was going to be tight because of the change in the CBA."
Vigneault said he has "mixed feelings and mixed emotions" seeing Malhotra back on the ice.
"On one hand I know that's what he really wants to do, and he worked extra hard to get the opportunity, so I'm really happy he's getting that," the coach said. "But he had a real serious injury to where we felt as an organization and staff that he was putting himself in tough situations on the ice."My feeling is there was a grey area. It was a tough one, he's a real quality person who wants to play. I hope everything works out."
"There were quite a few times when I [was showing video] and asked Manny, "Did you see that?' and he would answer, 'I could feel him…' "
Carl Hagelin, who scored twice, took a wicked slash across the left wrist from Riley Nash with 7:10 remaining in the match, but escaped without injury.
Neither Derek Dorsett nor Vigneault was pleased with 20-year-old rookie defenseman Ryan Murphy's low-bridge that undercut the Blueshirts' forward as he drove to the net off a right wing rush at 13:36 of the second period. Murphy was assessed a clipping penalty.
Dorsett elbowed Murphy in the face the next time they were on the ice together at 17:56, before Vigneault addressed the play in his postgame press conference.
"Borderline very, very dangerous," said the coach, who added knee-to-knee hits can be "career-ending."
J.T. Miller, who struggled much of the way, played fourth-line center in the third period and finished with 12:12 of ice time. Derek Stepan got his hat trick on seven shots in just 14:10. Brad Richards, who led the forwards with 18:44, had five shots on nine attempts.

DAY ELEVEN: No it wasn't different back then #2 -Tracing Rape Myths in Medieval Court Records
Challenging the notion of 'it was different back then', Mara Schmueckle draws attention to medieval Scottish notarial record on Janet Lausoun, who was abducted and forced into marriage. Lausoun's story highlights the burden placed on women where their credibility is measured against expectations of the behaviour of "real victims."
Mara Schmueckle
Featured Image: "A lawyer speaking to an assembly" The British Library, Harley 947, f. 107.
The prosecution of gendered violence remains a difficult topic. One particular challenge faced by victims remains the existence of "rape myths" – the idea that a victim of assault would behave in a certain way, and that victims who do not behave in this manner may have invented their allegation.
The recent report by the Lord Justice Clerk's Review Commission, which examined the management of sexual offence cases within the Scottish court system, explicitly recognised the existence of social expectations and their effect on the prosecution of sexual offence cases. Common myths include the suggestion that those subject to assault would resist or call for help (implying that assault without violence is consensual), that truthful allegations are reported immediately, and that false accusations are common. The Review Commission highlighted the ongoing, important line of judgments which forbids questioning designed to utilise these myths to undermine the credibility of the witness. Acknowledging the ongoing challenge in enforcing these rules, the review group nonetheless stressed the importance of restricting questioning to avoid re-traumatising witnesses. The Review Commission also warns that the outcome of cases can be affected by jury members who continue to apply these myths about rape. It recommends increased training and instruction for jury members to ensure that common (but usually inaccurate) understandings of sexual violence are not used to determine the truth of an allegation.
As a medieval historian, the parallel between the expectations placed on medieval women reporting sexual violence, and those still affecting the modern system, are striking.
A few months ago, while searching Scottish notarial records for details of the legal process surrounding marriages, I came across a notarial record written in Scots. Many medieval historians experience moments when the experience of the people we study, who lived centuries ago, can feel enormously relevant to our own society, and this was one of those moments for me. The record, which details the abduction and forced marriage of Janet Lausoun highlights the burden placed on women where their credibility is measured against expectations of the behaviour of "real victims."
In February 1515 Janet Lausoun visited the home of a notary, accompanied by her (male) family members. The manuscript image featured in this post might help us to imagine this legal scene: a woman predominantly surrounded by men. She presented the notary with a pre-written statement, in which her abduction and forced marriage are described, and which details her formal renunciation of that marriage and any activities she undertook during this time. It is important to stress that while we do not know anything else about Janet Lausoun or whether there were any consequences for her abductor, her presence before the notary indicates that she must have been believed.
Janet met the burden of credibility. Her statement, however, also highlights the difficulty other women must have had in doing so.
One of the challenges about medieval statements is that we have no insight into the process by which they were created. However, Janet Lausoun's statement so closely mirrors the legal language of the time that it seems likely she had assistance in preparing it. This, combined with her status as an heiress and the presence of male family members to defend her honour, allowed her case to be recorded. The statement explains that, a few weeks before Christmas the year before, she was walking home from Edinburgh to Leith [a journey of about 2 miles] with her mother. En route, the statement goes on to say, she was violently abducted and forced into marriage. She states that she entered into this marriage in fear of her life. There are no details of the three months she spent with her abductor, but she is careful to stress the date and difficulty of her escape, the day before she gave her statement.
In Janet's case, reference to the violence of the abduction and to the speed with which she reported the case may have been necessary to meet relevant legal tests, and thereby allow her to renounce the marriage which had been forced on her.
But a comparison between the requirements placed on her and those placed on victims of sexual assault today suggests that long-standing legal ideas about how gendered violence looks and how a victim of gendered violence behaves did not simply disappear. They have evolved and continue to affect public understanding of gendered violence in the present.
Cases like Janet Lausoun's remind us of the burden placed on women if we expect them to demonstrate that they are "a wholly blameless victim."[1]

The African Drumming workshops at Cookridge Primary School in Leeds stood out as a day to remember last Summer. The wonderful sessions with each of the classes culminated in an amazing interractive performance for the children's parents at the end of the day. The turn out by the parents to see their children perform was amazing! Once again they got a little bit more than they bargained for when thewy were asked to join in with an Afrcian song called Kassa. By the end of the afternoon the school hall was filled with the sound and spirit of a local community belting out the song with the drums, while children jumped in and out of the circle to dance to the African beats! Is your school planning a topic on Africa? If so, an African drumming workshop can provide your pupils with an amazing educational experience they will never forget!

Desert Sun letter: What do Californians really want?
Crazy California?
We are a very schizophrenic state.
We vote to allow our citizens to responsibly use marijuana while at the same time saying we are incompetent to use plastic bags.
We vote overwhelming for Hilary Clinton while at the same time we vote to reinvigorate the death penalty.
Statewide, we vote billions in dollars for schools to remodel and replace their buildings while the Legislature will only fund the educational program enough to make it 48th in the nation.
We are willing to spend $70 billion on a train from L.A. to Sacramento but we aren't willing to spend $3 billion to save the Salton Sea which could be a huge tourist attraction. Large lake, desert, casinos, resorts.
Ah, California! You are a confusing place!
Richard R. Clapp, Cathedral City
Puzzled by page 1
On this Inauguration Day, a day that happens (hopefully) only once every four years and can be considered historic, readers of The Desert Sun were "treated" to the featured page 1 story, "Michelle Obama's road ahead," accompanied by a rather large photo of the now former First Lady.
Really? Are you kidding me?
Jack Mennis, Cathedral City
DirecTV lockout unfair
For over a week, subscribers of DirectTV were denied access to ABC, CBS, FOX and CW stations. This also happened years ago with Time Warner.
We are supposed to be mollified by being told we can access local channels by using an antenna to pick up the air broadcast signal. How many customers really have an antenna available to them anymore? OK, then we should pick up the channel on our computers. Oh fine, that's exactly where I want to spend my evening watching a favorite program!
Contract negotiations are an inherent part of business practice. However, it is problematic when a single entity controls a significant part of a market and our local access to televised media.
Les Wheeler, Palm Springs
This plan unwise
Our world as never before needs to be more attuned to the traditions and wisdom of the Native Americans.
The Agua Caliente tribe's plans for a 15- to 17-story hotel is anathema and completely opposite their wisdom. The resulting congestion will destroy the energy, charm and vistas of this wonderful community.
At what point does the tribe turn into the very beast that has oppressed them – when greed is never enough? What is the tipping point at which greed and backlash destroys the tribe? Though you are sovereign, disregard for the larger community in which you profit would be similar to the city of Palm Springs turning roads leading to the casino into dead-end cul-de-sacs.
I certainly do not begrudge your profits, but would much rather see the Agua Caliente Cultural Museum built than this monstrosity. There is more value and clarity in your traditional wisdom than another slot machine or Miami-styled hirise that casts shadows and darkness on its denizens.
John M. Rivett, Palm Springs
Admirable goals
Re: We're "over-regulated," letter to the editor
Whether or not we are over regulated in California may be debatable, but your suggestion that Cristian Garza, who is working for improved air quality for his community, should move out of the area is disappointing. I guess that I could say that Gordon Beers of Rancho Mirage, should move out of California if he feels "over regulated". Arizona, Alabama, or Kansas, could be a good fit, but I want Mr. Beers to stay here with Cristian and me to work on making our living conditions better. Clean air, clean water, affordable health care all seem like reasonable goals in the world wealthiest nation. Don't you agree Mr. Beers?

One resident's wish
Dear Gov. Brown:
Please appoint a fiscal conservative to the vacancy on the Board of Supervisors, Riverside County. We do not need a career liberal.
Peter Tuohy, Indio
Thanks, Rep. Ruiz
Rep. Raul Ruiz – you have my total respect, admiration, and appreciation. How refreshing; a politician who places his moral convictions ahead of political gains and considerations. My heartfelt gratitude to you.
I respect the office of the presidency, and the history of personal freedoms and rights our great country has represented throughout its history. Many of the statements made by our currently elected president do not meet the criteria of anyone I would tolerate, respect, or admire.
As a woman, this man is not a person I would associate with. I've had great difficulty explaining the results of our American election to my Canadian and European friends – frankly, it's been very embarrassing. The only explanation I can offer is that the results were influenced by foreign entities.
Not sure what I hope for, that my explanation is in error, and it actually was a result of racial and religious divisions in our land.
Ann Marshall, Palm Desert
We need rules
There is an inherent incompatibility between democracy and capitalism. Without regulations this "gap" becomes a chasm.
The Declaration of Independence practically begins with the words "inalienable rights" of "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness." These rights can be readily swept away by a corporatocracy whose singular function is profit and shareholder returns.
How, without regulatory governance, can one reconcile a tragedy of poisoned water or unbreathable air or cars less safe and secure or less emission friendly.
An example: A mother in Flint, Michigan, who has a lost a child's "life" to led poisoning who has seen her home value plummet and thus has no ability, no "liberty" to move elsewhere. Her "pursuit of happiness" a lost dream darkened by polluted waters.
Such is the fate of many from various places wherever unchecked corporate expediency is the rule.
We need regulations, Mr. Trump, to assure the safety and prosperity of all the people. Your promises at your inauguration will evaporate if you take the road to de-regulation

Did you know that BOTOX® can be used for more than just cosmetic procedures? Its muscle-relaxing properties make it an excellent treatment for people who grind their teeth or have facial tics that contribute to dental pain. In this video, Dr. Jarrod Cornehl explains how BOTOX® can help you.
BOTOX® Cosmetic is an emerging treatment for gummy smiles, which means a lot of gum tissue shows while relatively little tooth is visible when you smile. It can have the effect of making your teeth look short and your gums too prominent.
Our experienced dentists have provided BOTOX® Cosmetic to numerous patients. Dr. Jarrod Cornehl has completed specialized BOTOX® and dermal filler training, and his educational background was intensively focused on facial areas.

Q: Error: Failed to start the transport 'LongPolling': Error: No Connection with that ID: Status code '404' I have created a signalr selfhosted webapp service that connects to on prem signalr service using hybrid connection. This self hosted service then broadcast the changes to front end and back to on prem signalR.  The self hosted service is fronted by a front door.

Everything works fine locally with long polling (front door doesn't support websockets), but doesn't work when deployed in Azure. Error: Failed to start the transport 'LongPolling': Error: No Connection with that ID: Status code '404'
Anything i am missing?

A: Enabled the clientAffinity on the app service and that did the magic. Also on Azure front door removed the host header on the backend
