Even today, #Glasgow remains one of the finest cities on these islands to see grand Victorian architecture and city planning.

Our maps can comfortably be followed in the modern day and give a real view into the past - both good and bad - in this surprisingly green city.

Memphis leaders have always been irresponsible with the environmental health of our city. Air pollution, traffic congestion, unregulated industry, and ignoring climate change without any climate resilience planning is alarming. Our drinking water is in the 90% percentile of vulnerability

Do you live in the United States and enjoy drinking water? Ask your elected representatives to ensure your drinking water utility is climate resilient. There's a good chance the utility faces climate risks and they are not doing much about it.

Transport planning was seen as the key to the market! market! Renewal – BCDA
Original Locator Ayala Land, Inc. (ALI) is in talks to redevelop the market! market! The Base Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) said that at the site in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), lease renewal largely depends on the attractiveness of its transportation facilities. "We are discussing the arrangement of the market! The market!" Joshua M. Bingkang, BCDA president and chief executive officer, along with ALI, told reporters last week.

These monsters have no idea how to care for and feed the small city that they’re planning to create.

They just want to know how many bodies they can stuff into a box.

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

The way he keeps saying "we are breastfeeding". And she lived with her parents for the first two months postpartum?
AlTA: Mid-30s couple with an 8-month-old: am I being unreasonable about a short camping trip? My wife and I are in our mid-30s. We have an 8- month-old baby and a dog. We do not have family help nearby, but we do have close friends who can help in an emergency. My wife is currently on full- time maternity leave, and we are breastfeeding. I (the husband) work from home full-time and love camping. I did not go on any camping trips during the first 8 months because I wanted to be fully present and adjust to life with a newborn. During this time, my wife and baby also spent a couple of months staying with her parents while I stayed back at home with the dog. I was fully supportive of this and encouraged her to spend as much time there as she wanted. I now have a 3-night (4-day) camping trip coming up. It feels like we have had time to settle into our new routine, and I feel it should be okay for me to go. I also have a couple of unavoidable 5-night work trips coming up in the next few months. To make sure my wife also gets a break, we have already done a couple of 2-night Airbnb trips close to our city. Right after my camping trip, I have planned a 3-night family trip so we can spend quality time together and so she can feel refreshed. Despite this, my wife keeps saying that other husbands would not go on a camping trip while they have an 8-month-old at home. I am struggling with this and feel hurt and frustrated that, despite being intentional about family time and planning trips for us, I still have to justify a short personal trip. Am I being unreasonable in thinking that an 8- month adjustment period is enough to take a 3- night camping trip, or am I missing something important here? Top-Tiger3479 7h Reply 1 RowResponsible8216 OP 7h Give your wife 4 days/3 nights away. Family trip or a few months away with still solely taking care of the baby doesn't seem "fair". So I'd see if she would be willing to be more OK with it if she had the same amount of time away without the baby. I'm more than happy to for her to take time off, but since we are breastfeeding, this has been very tough and not possible yet. There is dependency on her. To give her comfort, I keep telling her that once the baby if off feed, I'd love to take the baby away on one of the trips so that my wife gets a break and can enjoy the solitude (of course, I tell my wife to join me on camping trips if she'd like to)! No-Stranger-9483 6h Quit saying "we" are breastfeeding. You aren't breastfeeding.

They keep saying a UFC Fight & an IndyCar race are happening on the National Mall this year, and I really don't see how either happen. This Freedom 250 is clearly a scam. An Indycar Race in a major U.S. city takes years of planning, see Baltimore. Yet, media uncritically passes the news along.

of the Internet until the case was settled. If Snowden wanted to leave Hong Kong, he had to act swiftly. Tibbo, although evasive on the point when I interviewed him, may not have known about the escape Harrison was planning As far as he could see, Snowden’s other alternatives were not good. He had no money and his credit card had been blocked. He had no visas to go any other country and Interpol would issue its own “red notice” as soon as the US filed formal charges against him. At that point, Hong Kong airport authorities would be officially notified and could prevent him from leaving the city. Even if he somehow got out, he would be an international fugitive. Tibbo counseled Snowden to seek redress in the Hong Kong courts. But Snowden had no intention of allowing himself to be arrested. Despite what he told Lana Lam only one week earlier, at least for publication, about his determination to seek justice in the Hong Kong courts, he had not planned to use Hong Kong as anything more than a temporary stop over on his escape route.

As I always say, you never know what’s going to be spicy at council but I’m actually pretty sad to be missing this one, as the top agenda item is the first public hearing on the capital improvement plan (CIP). The CIP is a planning document outlining target projects for the city.

|| ® || 104 | HOW AMERICA LOST ITS SECRETS government filed charges, though, Snowden could further expect it would invalidate his passport to go anywhere except for his return to the United States, and Interpol would issue a red alert to all its mem- bers. Because his case involved national security secrets, he had also to consider that the Hong Kong court could deny him any use of the Internet until his extradition case was settled.

Two months later and safely in Moscow, he made this point clear in a lengthy interview with Alan Rusbridger, the editor of The Guard- ian. He told him that it had never been part of his plan to use Hong Kong to escape the legal consequences of his act. “The purpose of my mission [to Hong Kong] was to get the information to journalists.” If so, he had merely been using Tibbo, Man, and Ho to provide him with temporary cover while, following the instructions of Assange, Harrison laid down the smoke screen for his escape to Moscow. | |

The acting NSW Cop Commish (Dunstan) belling Albo's cat here. 'The tensions associated with this visit' ... 'we do not want conflict.'

#Albo specifically invited the Israeli president to foster a 'greater sense of unity'. The man has the political sensibilities of a mole rat #Auspol #FreePalestine
“With the tensions associated with this visit, you will see additional numbers, but people should feel confident to go about their business over the next few days as per normal,” Dunstan said. He also advised that those planning to attend the city from 5.30pm onwards should be aware of the significant police operation and potential protest activity. “We do not want conflict. We want to ensure that this is conducted in a peaceful and safe manner, and I’m confident that we can achieve that by working together with the Palestinian Action Group,” Dunstan said. Minns urged “respect and calm as we get through the next four days”. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/feb/08/standoff-protest-israeli-president-isaac-herzog-palestine-action-group-court-challenge-nsw-police-powers
