In landlocked Nara prefecture, before refrigeration, sushi was difficult to keep in summer. Hence the local speciality "persimmon leaf sushi", wrapped in a leaf that preserves the moisture while the natural tannin in the leaf acts anti-bacterially and adding flavor. #柿の葉寿司
And also my breakfast today. Thank God for local cuisine.
Maybe it is food euphoria speaking, but imagine eating fresh food in 2019 that has not touched plastic at any point and no refrigeration? I can compost the packaging.
@Pronatalism I had completely forgotten about it, but this special sushi variety features prominently in Tanizaki Junichiro's famous book, "In praise of shadows". Here is the excerpt:

Wrath Of Gnon

There are some really knowledgeable children's books illustrators. Here's one with correctly depicted pollarded willows in the winter by Patrick Benson...
...and here's what pollarded willows looks like in real life. Pollarding was done every year or once every three years to use the leafy branches as winter fodder (dried in special pollarding barns). A superbly ecological way of keeping your livestock.
Pollard is also a common surname but it originated as a nickname for people with large heads (so not an agrarian name). It is different from coppicing which is done closer to the root and in order to harvest wood rather than leaves.

The things you can do with traditional architecture. A 19th c. post-and-plank (bulhus) on the Swedish island of Gotland needs a new sill plate (neglect led to old one finally rotting out). A few days of work with homegrown materials vs. tearing whole house down and buying new.
Scarf in new parts with wooden pegs (iron nails attract moisture which creates opportunities for rot which is bad), put on a new cob-mortar and plaster it, good as new and will last at least another two or three centuries. All waste organic and can be buried or composted nearby.
Post-and-plank is an ancient building method almost extinct today, but it has many advantages, not least that is it recyclable. Here is one 19th c. bldg. partly built using recycled oak boards from a shipwreck. How old the shipwreck was when reused has yet to be determined.

The taller the building, the wider the street, the less chance there is of a community forming. Alienation, loss of purpose, misery, follows. If we want cities that gives humans a chance, we need to build for the #HumanScale: low buildings, streets for pedestrians. #Beijing
Cities built to the #HumanScale naturally attracts tourists. No matter how messy they look. Clothes hanging out to dry is an indicator of a healthy neighborhood: the street belongs to the people living there. #Hanoi
Streets can be #HumanScaled and beautiful and necessary, but they are still a bit like "corridors". The best "streets" are the ones that double as places: squares, markets, nooks to rest and hang out. To meet friends and gawk at strangers. #Prague

Parigi. Un uomo di 45 anni, impiegato da 20 anni presso la Prefettura, si è recato al lavoro nascondendo un coltello dalla lunga lama, con cui ha ucciso una collega. Dopodiché è riuscito ad accoltellare a morte altri 3 poliziotti durante la breve fuga bfmtv.com/police-justice…
Parigi. Secondo molte fonti, l'autore della strage alla #Prefecture sarebbe originario della Martinica (Antille francesi) e, secondo alcune di esse, si sarebbe convertito all'Islam 2 anni fa, sposando una donna musulmana che ora è in stato di fermo

1-#Fed faizleri 25 baz puan indirdi ve Eylül’de bitecek Para Yakma programını, derhal sonlandırdı. Bu aslında 2008 sonrası izlenen politikaların iflasıdır. İşte Flood!

Fed cut rates by 25 bps and immediately ended QT program. This is indeed the bankruptcy of post-2008 policies.
2-2008’den sonra ABD’nin 200 yılda bastığı Merkez Bankası parasının 4 katını basıp faizleri 0’a indiren Fed, kriz bittiğinde normale dönecekti

After 2008, Fed slashed rates to 0 and quadrupled 200 years of central bank money. It was supposed to normalize when the crisis was over
3-Normalleşme faizlerin %4-5’e yükseltilmesi ve 2008’den sonra basılan paraların en az %50-60‘ının yakılması anlamına gelecekti

Normalization meant to lift rates up to 4-5% and burn at least %50-60% of the money Fed printed after 2008

Today marks two years since the VC Summer #nuclear construction project was suddenly abandoned, quickly becoming one of the largest financial, legal, political and regulatory debacles in the history of South Carolina. Thread (1/?):
A quick search of @thestate's archives show we have since published more than 500 stories, editorials, op-eds, and letters to the editor about VC Summer. I've spent the past two years following the story, with tons of help from @sfretwell83 and others here.
We interviewed sources and reviewed hundreds of thousands of documents to piece together how the project failed, who enabled it and benefited from it and how it had caused the power bills of millions of #SC residents to soar. A few highlights:

"NÃO CONFIO NO MORO": NOVAS REVELAÇÕES SOBRE A LAVA JATO via @YouTube
@YouTube Não parece, mas isso é uma bomba.
O fato dos procuradores ficarem perturbados com a aventura política do Moro nas conversas privadas é revelador, uma vez que a ação do ex-juiz em aceitar o cargo de ministro da Justiça no Governo Bolsonaro.➡️
Segundo os procuradores, isso deu munição ao argumento pró-lulista de parcialidade no processo da Lava-Jato.

Eu vejo isso como a melhor definição da Profecia Auto-Realizável. ➡️

Tutorial on how to make a map using QGIS. I'll turn @SenhorRaposa's 2000 Vermont town data into a map showing by how much Gore outran Senator Jeffords (or vice versa) in every town.
Step 1: Download QGIS for your computer, which is available here:
qgis.org/en/site/foruse…
You'll also need some of Census' Tiger/Line County and County Sub shapefiles. The main download page for those is here:
census.gov/cgi-bin/geo/sh…

A direct link to the 2017 VT county sub shapefile is here: ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2017/COUSUB/tl_2017_50_cousub.zip
I can't find a 2017 County file by state, so we'll use the 2009 verison here:
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER2009/50_VERMONT/tl_2009_50_county.zip
(We could always edit the 17 national county file in QGIS & create a 2017 VT-only county shapefile, but let's keep it simple.)
