Climate disasters decimate Mongolian livestock
Millions of livestock have perished as climate change exacerbates impacts of extreme winter weather in Mongolia, crippling nomadic communities that rely on the animals for income and threatening wider economic damage.

'Mighty damn corrupt': Senate likely to investigate Trump’s 'quid pro quo' with oil lobbyists
Former President Donald Trump recently made a controversial proposal to a gathering of oil executives and lobbyists at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida: Favorable policy in exchange for $1 billion in campaign cash. Now, it looks as if the U.S. Senate may launch an official inquiry into the ex-pre...

This grass has toxic effects on US livestock, and it’s spreading
As warming temperatures enable tall fescue to move northward, scientists and ranchers are racing to stop its expansion.

When even the #WallStreetJournal reports on micro car, Microlino (1100 pound electric car modeled after the iconic 1950’s era BMW Isetta— front hatch and all)… you think there may be some hope that we self-correct carbon course on transportation.
Or… maybe this is the ‘gateway’ car for suburban moms not prepared to go full-on-cargo #bike to get kids and groceries to where they need to be.
I’m not looking for a car, but if I were, this would be right in my lane.

Log-Lipschitz and Hölder regularity imply smoothness for complex analytic sets
In this paper, we prove metric analogues, in any dimension and in any co-dimension, of the famous Theorem of Mumford on smoothness of normal surfaces and the beautiful Theorem of Ramanujam that gives a topological characterization of $\mathbb{C}^2$ as an algebraic surface. For instance, we prove that a complex analytic set that is log-Lipschitz regular at 0 (i.e., a complex analytic set that has a neighbourhood of the origin which bi-log-Lipschitz homeomorphic to an Euclidean ball) must be smoo…

Lefschetz fixed-object and fixed-morphism theorems for acyclic categories
We introduce two novel complementary notions of the Lefschetz number for a functor from a finite acyclic category to itself and we prove a Lefschetz fixed-object theorem and a Lefschetz fixed-morphism theorem. In order to do so, we use the connection between these type of categories and simplicial structures, such as trisps or delta complexes. Through the use of a pair of functors that, when composed, form the barycentric subdivision, we are not only able to identify fixed objects but also fixe…
