Arizona raised solar panels on stilts over its crops so one acre could grow food and make power at once — then researchers noticed a third job nobody put in the brochure: skin under the panels runs 21 degrees cooler, in a country where crop workers are 20 times more likely to die of heat - BOCVIP
"Thousands of women across Pemba and Unguja Islands are restoring degraded agricultural land by planting food and spice forests—growing back lush canopies across their islands and improving their income and food security in ways that support a diversity of life and climate resilience."

July 7, 1903 - Labor organizer Mary Harris "Mother" Jones led the "March of the Mill Children" over 100 miles from Philadelphia to President Theodore Roosevelt's Long Island summer home in Oyster Bay, New York, to publicize the harsh conditions of child labor and to demand a 55-hour work week. It is during this march, on about the 24th, she delivered her famed "The Wail of the Children" speech. Roosevelt refused to see them.

One night after the girl had gone to bed in the asi her husband came again to the door and said to her, "It seems you are alone," and asked where was the child.

Planned Parenthood and other reproductive health clinics
regained access to Medicaid funding on Saturday
after a provision in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act defunding the organizations expired.
The provision depriving Planned Parenthood was touted as a major victory for the anti-abortion movement when the bill was signed on July 4, 2025,
but, due to Senate rules, the defunding only lasted for one year,
and Congress failed to renew it before their summer recess.
While this means that Planned Parenthood, Health Imperatives in Massachusetts, and Maine Family Planning can once again bill Medicaid for non-abortion related healthcare,
it doesn’t reverse the damage caused by a year-long lack of access to funds
totaling more than $800 million per year for Planned Parenthood alone.
Planned Parenthood and Planned Parenthood Action Fund said that the defunding had led to the closure of almost 30 health centers,
two-thirds of which were in rural areas,
or locations that had a shortage of medical services or healthcare professionals.
In addition, all of the closed centers were in “contraceptive deserts.”
Overall, the number of Medicaid visits to the organization decreased by 25% compared with the year before.
“By deliberately targeting Planned Parenthood,
President [Donald] Trump and his allies in Congress worsened a public health crisis,
making it harder for people to get the essential and lifesaving care they needed at their trusted provider,”
Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and Planned Parenthood Action Fund, said in a statement.

An islandwide blackout hit Cuba on Monday -- as the country’s fuel reserves dwindle and its electric grid continues to crumble.
The blackout in the country of nearly 10 million people was reported by the state-run Electric Union
The Ministry of Energy and Mines wrote on X that it has activated protocols to restore electricity.
Fuel has been running out across Cuba since January, when Donald Trump threatened tariffs on any country that sells or provides oil to the island,
deepening the island’s ongoing economic and financial crisis.
Public transportation has largely been halted, and officials have canceled tens of thousands of surgeries.
