400,000 ha (>1500 sq mi) of the #Tanami Desert is on #fire, notionally in the middle of winter. Nobody noticed until a

An expert in gana homa was the main priest. (A very nice and an exceptionally tall man.) First order of business, he "swore" us in to be the main performers of the homa.
The proportion of fire and smoke changes throughout the ritual depending on what's being added to the fire pit. In these pictures, it's mostly fire, thanks to ghee.
*"Swearing in" is actually done through a process called "sankalpa". #ama

No homa is always nice fire (think moisture). At some point, we added a food item called "pancha kajjaaya" [Kannada] to the fire which caused much smoke. Teary eyes and coughs ensued, but everything smelled good.
(We added about 36 bowls of pancha kajjaaya to the fire.)
After the homa, we offered "puje" (service) to a clay idol of Ganesha. The puje was simple; not elaborate as it tends to be in the "plains" part of Karnataka.

An illustrative video showing blazing fire during the homa. This was towards the end by when a lot of ghee had been added.
PS: The entire homa is performed *indoors*.

An illustrative video showing thick smoke during the homa.
The pancha kajjaaya offering to the fire asks Ganesha for "kshipra prasaada" (quick result).

So with all those Wildberries warehouses being taken out by a single dronestrike, and then completely burning down, one has to ask. How is firesafety arranged in large warehouses? Is there compartimentalisation? How is this done in other large warehouses outside of Russia?

If you are grilling or sitting around a campfire and notice small insects flitting around in the smoke, try to get photographs. Could be a smoke fly in the genus Microsania (Platypezidae). Very, very rarely found but likely because people are not looking. Sometimes even attracted to smoke-infused clothing. This pic from Portugal is the only RG observation on iNaturalist. #platypezidae #flies #diptera #smoke #fire #grilling #bbq #smoking #insects https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/9396664

If you have an opportunity to visit a freshly-burned forest, look for pyrophilic beetles (e.g., certain species in Sericoda, Melanophila, Monochamus) and flies (Microsania). Some have specialized antennae for detecting smoke, others use infrared-sensing areas on abdomen or thorax to locate hot spots. #fire #smoke #weather #canada #beetles #coleoptera #insects #flies #trees #forests
