First, the ... perhaps now the Files?

, a prominent business publication, has obtained a considerable amount of internal Tesla files that may point to and vehicle concerns that were possibly hidden by Tesla.

Apparently, Handelsblatt is releasing reports on these files in stages.

I will be watching this space... probably to add comments after more is publicly released.

"More than 116,000 signatures supporting efforts to put the of the controversial Atlanta Training Center on November's are now public."

It wasn't just signatures of voters who want to that were posted online. They also posted signer's names, addresses and phone numbers. This is clearly intimidation and harassment! 😠

There are thousands of facilities storing large quantities of hazardous chemicals in the U.S.

Axios has an interactive tracker that answers: "Where are they, what are they and what happens when things go wrong?"

Today’s opening of the Conejo Canyons bridge in Hill Canyon is excellent news for hikers, cyclists, and public safety. Hikers and cyclists will no longer have to share the single-lane road with trucks entering/leaving the Hill Canyon wastewater treatment plant.

And because the bridge connects Hill Canyon with the Western Plateau in Newbury Park, first responders and public works employees no longer will have to travel out of town via the Camarillo grade to reach either end of the Conejo Canyons.

We are incredibly fortunate to live in such a beautiful area. Hope you get out and enjoy it!

Major Fluvial Erosion And A 500-Mt Sediment Pulse Triggered By Lava-Dam Failure, Río Coca, Ecuador

https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.5751 <-- shared paper

photos - Former location of the Cascada San Rafael lava-dam waterfall and knickpoint on the Río Coca, viewed facing upstream. (a) Pre-collapse morphology of the waterfall, in 2012 (image from Ecuador Ministry of Tourism). Accommodation space upstream of the lava dam was filled with sediment. (b) The site was on 2 February 2020, shortly after a sinkhole (upstream of lava dam) captured the river. Dashed line shows the approximate location of the unconformable contact between the lava flow and underlying volcaniclastic avalanche deposits. (c) The site was on 22 February 2021 during the incipient collapse of the remaining arched edifice of the lava flow. (d) Later on 22 February 2021 after full collapse of the lava arch. (e) The site on 25 February 2021, shortly after the river overtopped and eroded through the debris dam. Photographs in (b) through (e) provided by the Corporacion Electrica del Ecuador.
map and chart - (a) Detailed map of the study reach (shown within box in Figure 1a), with river kilometres (rkm) shown referring to distance downstream of the Coca Codo Sinclair (CCS) dam and diversion intake. (b) Subsurface geologic cross-section of the study reached from rkm 0 to 22 (annotated using field observations of the authors and borehole information from INECEL [Instituto Ecuatoriano de Electrificacion], 1992). Dashed line shows the riverbed profile as of 2 December 2022, 1,034 days after the failure of the Cascada San Rafael knickpoint. Prior to the loss of the knickpoint in February 2020, the accommodation space upstream of the Cascada San Rafael had entirely filled with sediment. Geologic units are abbreviated as volcaniclastic breccia (Br), cohesive volcaniclastic avalanche deposits (CoAv), loose volcaniclastic avalanche deposits (LoAv), ancient alluvial deposits (All), lacustrine sediments (Lac), debris-flow deposits (Deb, a thin deposit around rkm 8–8.5). Lava flow, recent alluvial deposits and Mesozoic bedrock are also shown.

Time to think about … fire escapes: What will be the next obstacle advocates will face? Building codes that forbid multistory apartments served by a single stairwell. What is this about? Housing affordability vs firefighters’ concern about what will happen if they’re entering a building as people are fleeing it. You can see how this is playing out in Denver. https://denverite.com/2024/03/15/single-stair-buildings-denver-developers-fire-safety/

Excellent news for hiking, biking, and public safety: Work is well under way on a single-lane bridge over Conejo Creek.

This 140-foot span will connect the Rancho Conejo/Western Plateau area with Hill Canyon. It’s just wide enough to carry an emergency vehicle, saving first responders from having to travel to Camarillo and through the Santa Rosa Valley to reach Hill Canyon. The project also involves a new hiking/biking trail.
