Tel Aviv has started giving away free fruit trees in a bid to re-wild its city and make it greener. They are calling it an urban food forest. Researchers from Berlin come up with a blueprint on how to green and re-wild your city. You could use this with new greening AI research from MIT to make your city remarkably green.
In the retrospective study (which means they looked back at historical data), researchers analyzed the health records of older Welsh adults and discovered that those who received the shingles vaccine were 20% less likely to develop dementia over the next seven years than those who did not receive the vaccine.

I’ve had about 6 bikes stolen over the years in the city, and then later when my ugly little Ukrainian throwback got stolen, possibly “removed” from my street, it got me thinking about the best strategies for keeping my bike safe and sound. Writes Rick Polito, author of a bike guide writes: “Nature is a […]
In e-commerce, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in enabling businesses to transition from traditional methods to more advanced, data-driven approaches. Among its many applications, AI's impact on Amazon seller analytics and forecasting stands out as one of its most significant contributions.
Six people have died after a tourist submarine operated by Sindbad sank in the Red Sea near Hurghada, Egypt, at approximately 10:00 local time (08:00 GMT) on March 27. The cause of the sinking remains unclear, but the incident has reignited concerns over Egypt’s lax maritime safety standards, shoddy equipment, and lack of effective emergency response measures.
The modern architectural world has become so absurd, so self-referential, that we are now finding whimsy in a grotesque pastiche of a mansion hoisted onto a soulless skyscraper—rather than restoring the very real, crumbling mansions that lie abandoned in the European countryside. This is art eating itself, an ouroboros of design where irony and spectacle matter more than substance or authenticity.
Tattoos have long been a form of self-expression, a way to etch stories, beliefs, and memories onto the skin. But as tattoo culture grows, so do questions about its long-term health effects. Could your ink be doing more than just decorating your body?
While chewing gum may seem like a harmless habit, recent studies have revealed a concerning reality: microplastics are a part of our daily lives, even in the things we put in our mouths. As we transition further into a world dominated by synthetic materials, it's crucial to stay informed about the potential risks of microplastics. As Mohanty and his team continue to explore this issue, we must remain cautious and mindful of the products we consume, taking steps to reduce our exposure to plastics and advocating for more sustainable alternatives.
Today, we’ll explore the intriguing connections between Ka and Ba from Egyptian mysticism, Merkabah mysticism in Kabbalah, and the Ka'bah in Saudi Arabia, and how these ancient ideas may hold valuable lessons for a sustainable future.
Jerky, a favorite protein snack. Convenient to take on a hike, a camping trip, or just a grab-and-go bite when you’re in a hurry. Great to have on hand when tired, hungry kids start whining but the next meal is a still a way down the road. But unless you make your own, it’s expensive. […]
The striking red-painted jug was found in a cave that had once been an underground olive press before being repurposed as a dwelling. Researchers believe the cave was in use during the Abbasid period (9th-10th centuries CE), when camels dominated trade routes, helping to move goods across vast distances.
Brevel has pioneered a unique method of cultivating microalgae by combining light with sugar-based fermentation in indoor bioreactors. Traditional fermentation, typically conducted in the dark, produces microalgae efficiently but lacks key nutrients that depend on light exposure. By integrating light into the fermentation process, Brevel enhances the nutritional profile, functionality, and overall commercial viability of microalgae-based proteins.
In a sobering turn of events, 23andMe, the once-celebrated pioneer of direct-to-consumer genetic testing, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. This development has ignited a critical conversation about corporate governance, executive compensation, and the ethical stewardship of sensitive consumer data.
I personally coordinate a Center for Sustainability in the Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood of Romema. Most people would say that is quite unique because that population typically gets a bad rap when it comes to environmental friendliness and that is because the families are large, on average 7.7 children per household and they use a lot of ‘one-time-use’ dishware, therefore producing a large amount of non-recyclable waste.
