Newly daylighted Canyon Creek brings lost habitat back to Spanish Banks
A long-hidden urban stream in Spanish Banks Beach Park has been brought back to the surface thanks to efforts by the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation.
Local Nations, community members and elected officials gathered today to celebrate the public opening of Canyon Creek, a previously buried waterway that ran through Pacific Spirit Regional Park and under the western parking lot at Spanish Banks

A "new" open creek has replaced a pipe. The area has been naturalized to improve the ecology and may even see the return of salmon in the future

My printer is single filament and low-resolution, so I had to do more work than him to pull it together. Plus painting PLA is a bit of a struggle. But now I have a model, however rough.
I'd still rather have what Shepard has.

@MrCyjaneK is correct that a server can only provide CalDAV updates if it has full access to the content. This is because the CalDAV protocol and clients have no concept of end-to-end encryption.

We currently have no plans to offer users the ability to reveal calendar data to the server in this manner, but if the CalDAV protocol ever evolves to include e2e encryption we'd be interested in supporting that.

Trump has ordered the US government to consolidate its wildland firefighting force into a single program,
despite warnings from former federal officials that it could be costly and increase the risk of catastrophic blazes in the middle of peak wildfire season.
The order aims to centralize firefighting efforts,
which are now split among five agencies and two cabinet departments.
Trump’s proposed budget for next year calls for the creation of a new Federal Wildland Fire…

The Trump administration has shifted from bureaucratic threats to armed suppression of political opponents.
By beginning with vulnerable groups who have less legal standing and social capital to resist repression,
the Trump administration is making a strategic choice, hoping to provoke less public outcry
and then use these precedents of repression later against a broader population.
This is a textbook example of democratic backsliding, similar to what we have witnesse…

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has said Floridians have a right to hit protesters with their car if they need to "flee for your safety."
DeSantis was speaking on The Rubin Report on Wednesday when he said:
"We also have a policy that if you're driving on one of those streets and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle,
and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety.
"And so if you drive off and you hit one of these people,

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States Army is fitting.
But the Army doesn’t need to celebrate Donald Trump.
That’s what’s about to transpire in the shadow of the White House
— a ridiculous, self-aggrandizing display that would look right at home in Moscow or Tiananmen Square.
It should not happen here. Ever.

China has suspended almost all exports since April 4 of seven kinds of #rare #earth metals,
as well as very powerful magnets made from three of them.
The halt has caused increasingly severe shortages that threaten to close many factories in the United States and Europe.

The National Institutes of Health is responsible for more than 80% of the world’s grant investment in biomedical research.
Its funding has sparked countless medical breakthroughs
— on cancer, diabetes, strokes
— and plays a fundamental role in the development of pharmaceutical drugs.
Scientists compete vigorously for a slice of the more than $30 billion that the agency doles out annually;
they can spend years assembling grant applications that stretch thousand…

U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla on Thursday was handcuffed by officers and forcefully removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s news conference in Los Angeles
as he tried to speak up about immigration raids that have led to protests in California and around the country.
Video shows a Secret Service agent on Noem’s security detail grabbing the California senator by his jacket and shoving him from the room
as he tried to speak up during the DHS secretary’s event.

The US taxpayer is going to be on the hook for all the soldiers, tanks, and planes that appear in Donald Trump’s military parade.
But several major tech companies are paying for the festivities along the parade route.
According to recent statements from America250, #Oracle, #Amazon,

I’m Brigadier General Shawn Harris.
I served this nation for decades in the US Army and now I’m answering the call to serve again
— this time, to defeat Marjorie Taylor Greene and bring sanity back to Congress.
This week, Donald Trump said has sent U.S. Marines into Los Angeles.
As someone who led troops in combat, I can tell you:
our troops don’t serve to be used as political weapons against Americans.
Marjorie Taylor Greene stood by that reckless idea

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was quickly met with sharp questions and criticism Tuesday
by lawmakers who pressed him about his early moves to deploy troops to Los Angeles,
fire key military leaders
and purge diversity programs.
They expressed bipartisan frustration that Congress has not yet gotten a full defense budget from the Trump administration.
“Your tenure as secretary has been marked by endless chaos,”
Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., told Hegseth.
