Today’s #JobsReport was very solid, but like is often the case in the movies, it’s very hard for the sequel (today’s report) to match such an unexpected hit (January’s revised 504,000 jobs gained).
Still, a nonfarm #payroll gain of 311,000 jobs is quite good and having 815,000 jobs created so far this year after the #economy has already created 12 million #jobs over the past two years is pretty amazing in its own right.
Further, the 3-month moving average of 351,000 jobs, after a 12-month moving average of 362,000 jobs gained per month is also pretty remarkable, particularly after the market-implied pricing of the terminal #FedFunds rate has move up 500 basis points (bps) in a year.
If you are into #hiking and love #Barbados ❤️🇧🇧 as much as I do, perhaps you want to have a look at my little project "#Barbados360" where I hiked around the whole island.

Did you ever hear of HARP, High Altitude Research Project?
Two 36m guns that fired projectiles up to 260km height in the 60s🤯. It ended in 1974 but the guns are still on-site.
Its Director was murdered in Brussels in 1990. No one was ever charged.

(1) I love forests for their beauty, the peace and calm I feel when I walk on forest trails, and their role in preserving biodiversity and the climate.
Today, I was reminded twice how diverse other people's attitudes toward natural forests may be.

(2) First, according to a BBC Panorama investigation, I learned that a firm that has received six billion pounds in green energy subsidies from UK taxpayers is cutting down forests that are essential to the Canadian ecology.

(3) Reporters concluded that millions of tons of imported wood pellets, classified as renewable energy, are burned at Drax's largest power plant in Britain. However, part of the wood came from Canada's old-growth forests, which took thousands of years to develop.

I was recently in Switzerland, mostly around Berne. Since there are municipal elections in #Ontario, I thought that it would be nice to talk more about quality of life beyond lower taxes. #onpoli #topoli 1/14

@utladakhtourism @incredibleindia @kstanzinladakh @darterphoto 2/n Next a stiff climb to a pass known as Chota La, it wasn't Chota in any terms, it's high enough to take your breath away in every term. It stands at 18170 feet.
And of course, it was an amazing lunch spot too.
A clear day can sunburn you so easy.

📍 Gingee fort, Villupuram
Explore the fort's beautiful interiors. Tanks, granaries, halls, marriage halls, and several more unusual locations can be found here. One can always find some time to pay them a visit.

📍 Perumal peak, Kodaikanal
The walk begins at the foot of the peak, at Perumal Malai Village, about 11 kilometres from Kodaikanal. It's around 7 km and takes about 4 hours one way. The majority of the hike is somewhat strenuous, with a few steep spots.

Hello Twitter Friends,
Quick Poll: Did you go hiking or nature walks in the northeast or upper Midwest of the U.S. this summer? #nature #hiking #ph260720

If you answered yes, did you happen to meet my friend, Ticky? And did you know that ticks (specifically blacklegged ticks) are the main transmitters for Lyme Disease? #ticky #lymedisease #ph260720
Lyme Disease is caused primarily by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi. Lyme disease can be very unpredictable in the symptoms it can cause. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a skin rash that can look like a bulls eye or “target” rash. #lymedisease #ph260720
Hiked in the Paklenica National Park, up to the Vaganski vrh peak (1758m). 27km 1760 up and down. 1/n #hiking #croatia

Like glaciers or coral reefs, it is another example where climate change threatens some of the most beautiful sights on our planet.

3. I remember how amazed I was in the 1990s when seeing some of these enormous trees in California.
Standing on the forest floor and looking up, they seemed to grow into infinity.

Braşov's train station on an early morning. Time for another short #railway trip! This time I'm on the IR366, which starts in Braşov, loops through Romania via Miercurea Ciuc, Dej and Cluj to Oradea, where it crosses into Hungary and trundles on to Budapest.
This area is called #Székely Land, and is where most of the Hungarian minority in Romania lives. In fact, in many places here they might even consist up to a full 100% of the local population. In Harghita province where I'm heading to, 85% of the population is Hungarian.
I'm getting off at Băile Tușnad, or Tusnádfürdő as it is called by the Hungarian majority of this small spa town. It's also officially #Romania's smallest town ("oraş"), having only 1,641 inhabitants!
Lately, I have been very disturbed with the whole #climatecrisis. Every day some new naturally unnatural calamity looms over our head.
The ice caps are turning in cold rocks and I end up in a rabbit hole feeling helpless.

It just sucks to imagine a #future where the only way people can enjoy nature as you and I did via #hiking etc is to read blogs and watch videos.
That sucks on so many levels.

And when I think about the reasons for this situation. I can't seem to go any further but to pin it on #consumption.
Not just fashion or lifestyle consumption. But any damn product.

Tamsui-Kavalan Trails (Thread)
This has been a year in the making. A year of walking, exploring, writing, learning about and falling further in love with this beautiful land that I am lucky to call home. I hope my writing helps others to enjoy these trails as much as I have.

Part 1 - PINGXI TOU to WAI’AO

This was the first section of the Tamsui Kavalan Trails that I walked and my word it’s a good one to get you hooked. Whether you like streams, forests, mountains or beaches you’ll find something to enjoy here.

👉 bit.ly/3kw3ZSi 👈
This section of the TKT is nothing if not varied. It takes you through the old mining/tourist town of Jiufen, past long abandoned houses and guard posts, then finishes in the relaxed beach town of Fulong.

The drive is amazing through the mountains. The 45 min #Hike through forest to get to the river is rewarding.
The whole area is the birthplace of the #legend of Adonis & Astarte.

Thread: I spent a year digging into a story about a hiker who was found dead in a tent in Florida for @adventurevida thanks to editors @jeffmoag and @stevecasimiro. The mystery has kept me awake many nights, scouring the web. Here's how my story begins.
"Sometimes I imagine him falling through space, drifting like dust from dead stars in the vast nowhere above us. I see him take shape in the soft light of a forest before dawn. First a fog, then ephemeral form, then living flesh."
Brief synopsis: he was found dead in tent in July 2018. Weighed 83 pounds. No phone. No wallet. No ID. $3,600 in cash on him, along with notebooks filled with computer code. @CollierSheriff @kristine_gill put out a composite and people immediately recognize the man.
第一次行山，12 公里，5 个小时。刚开始的一段跟倒数第二段差点累吐，幸好有队友鼓励，路不好走，坦途总在陡坡后 [加油]终于迈出了中年男人的第一步：户外登山。

@SiNiel1 Pengalaman berharga bisa KKN 2 bulan belajar secara langsung tentang kehidupan warga asli dayak di desa Belikai, kecamatan Seberuang, Putussibau.
Teman mahasiswa banyak yg menghindari lokasi ini saking jauhnya. Kurleb 2 hari dg bus baru tiba dilokasi.
