The European refugee crisis isn’t so much a crisis as it is a catastrophe. In Greece the danger has proven massive, particularly off the island of Lesvos, which takes in an average of 2,000 refugees daily.

Every day around Lesvos the Coast Guard must rescue boats that have capsized, run out of fuel, or simply broken down. Which is why the Coast Guard invited a team from Texas A&M University’s Center for Robot-Assisted Search and Rescue to launch a pilot project this week for a very special robot—Emily, the Emergency Integrated Lifesaving Lanyard. Think of Emily as a life preserver melded with a jet ski.

Last year hurricane Matthew scorched the Gulf Of Mexico hitting the whole Caribbean region, parts of South-Central America, and Southern US states. Today we have hurricane Irma and Jose executing a two-punch set which will make more deaths and destruction.

We can’t continue the denial of climate change and pretend this is something out of our hands. It was predicted decades ago but dumb politicians get to keep their seats in Washington, and this is costing countless lives as well as a final bill in the order of the billions footed by US tax payers adding insult to the injury.

As of September 10 two violent hurricanes have hit the Caribbean and the US


It’s time to exit the denial in which far too many got cozy; local governments have to stop letting this disasters happen and should rethink their approach on home building in those areas who suffer the most from violent weather, from the tornado alley to the states impacted by hurricanes.

How are we going to safeguards the lives of millions of people who live in dangerous weather areas?- We stop pretending plywood and drywall are enough to shield lives with homes poorly designed and too fragile to withstand any type weather phenomena out of the norm.

The three little pigs survived because upon trial and error they develop a house that would resist the wolf’s breath.


The reconstruction process after natural calamities has become a hefty business for material providers, developers, working crews, transportation, and so on; there’s a chain of events that allows enterprises to continue to make money out of these disasters rebuilding homes.

Governments and voters have to get serious and demand a change in building practices, they have to demand future homes will be able to resist strong winds and provide a minimum amount of structure integrity to safeguard families inside their places.

Many countries around the world have been using hollow bricks to pull up all sorts of structures knowing that according to specific standards they would have resisted strong winds. It surely is a better option than constantly rebuild the same houses displacing thousands of people from their dwellings.

Nations affected by natural disasters like earthquakes have geared up to seek the latest technological achievement to save lives and their economy. Japan for instance is known for facing more than one type of calamity, yet the country knew that protecting people was a priority, so they developed engineering and architecture practices to design homes and buildings that would resist earthquakes.

Until the US government continues to set their order of business in the wrong orders many more lives will be lost, breaking down local economies until the whole landscape will be so bruised we won’t be able to turn back.

There has never been a hypocrisy in modern British politics as tragic as the Tory response to the Grenfell Tower fire.

While Theresa May assessed the situation in private - no chance for her to be jeered at there, eh? - a certain Minister for Policing and Fire was receiving a very interesting assignment. 

Yes, Nick Hurd, MP for Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner, is now the Chair of the Response Committee for the Grenfall disaster. 

Why should you care?

Nick Hurd was also one of the 71 MPs who voted against legislation requiring landlords ensure their properties are fit for human habitation. The legislation that could have saved 17+ lives had it been passed and enforced,

Yeah,thatNick Hurd.

Hyprocrisy, thy name is Tory faux-compassion and thy ain’t wanted here thanks very much.

I just knocked over my drink and my water jars full of dirty watercolor juice allllll over my work area and sketchbooks and carpeted floor and had a full blown meltdown alone in my room so I figured I may as well post the cute bug person I finished painting seconds before the disaster! They’re a lil adventurer and uses their antennae to smell and hear and they’re about 8 inches tall
