Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

What makes a Zodiac Sign low maintenance? Independence can make someone low maintenance. Someone who is reliable, dependable, and punctual, can make someone low maintenance. Someone who tends to want to do things on their own can be low maintenance. Low-maintenance people tend to be those people who do on their own but are not necessarily alone. They rarely need or ask for help. They are self-motivated, often energetic, and can be considered leaders is many cases. Now me, some say I am low maintenance and others say I’m high maintenance. Maybe I’m both. Let's see what zodiac signs are considered low-maintenance.

NOTE: This article is the second part of an article by Dr. Brylske about ECO PROS!. If you have been following this column recently, you’ll recognize a recurring theme of distinguishing scuba instructors from dive professionals. I introduced the idea in my article “Don’t be Just Another Instructor”, where I emphasized the need for those entering our industry to grasp what I term the “Big Picture.” I explained how failure to acquire a broad understanding of environmental and social trends affecting the scuba industry is a sure-fire path to mediocrity and a very short career. In a follow-up article last month, “What is an Eco Pro and How Do They Help Our Industry?” I described the shortcomings of our current instructor training model and articulated six areas we must address to improve our industry’s professional development process. Implementing such fundamental changes to an existing professional development program may seem daunting, but it’s not impossible. But if you do, I assure you that it will improve the quality of your graduates and earn you more money.

Concrete manufacturing is responsible for roughly 7% of all heat-trapping carbon pollution every year. But one European construction firm is now using a proprietary type of "green concrete" made from recycled materials to create an approach that could bring the industry's pollution levels way down, the Stanford Social Innovation Review reported.

Black Farmers’ Association Wants Tractor Supply CEO Out Amid Eliminated DEI Efforts

(Dürr: Southfield, MI) -- Paint shops must become “greener” to help vehicle manufacturers feel certain about meeting their ambitious climate targets. Assessing a technology’s sustainability is a complex task. In a comprehensive life cycle analysis, the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics (IBP) studied the carbon footprint of two different paint shop concepts. The result: Dürr’s paint shop with the EcoQPower system, which networks all energy flows to supply all process steps, reduces carbon emissions by 19.2% over its entire life cycle compared to paint shops without this system. This is mainly due to an energy consumption reduction of about 21% during the utilization phase, making it the first paint shop to comply with EU taxonomy requirements.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

We are in dangerous waters on this Independence Day. While we obsess over the horse race and the latest polls, rubbernecking at the tragic disintegration of an accomplished, public-spirited president, the plot to overthrow American democracy and replace it with a violent, repressive, despotic regime is well underway.

This story was originally published by the Guardian and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. As a flock of about 2,000 sheep graze between rows of solar panels, grazier Tony Inder wonders what all the fuss is about. “I’m not going to suggest it’s everyone’s cup of tea,” he says. “But as far as sheep grazing goes, solar is really good.”

Farmers who graze sheep under solar panels say it improves productivity. So why don’t we do it more?

How can Astrology tell you about your worst friends? Astrology is the concept of using the placement of the planets and their related astrological signs, or the Signs of the Zodiac, to determine the course of a life. These placements based on your birth date, time, and location can give you a wealth of information about your personality traits and character and predict events throughout your life based on your sign and current placements. Of course, this is a quick overview, and doing actual natal charts and horoscopes is much more complicated. But now you have a basic idea of what astrology is.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.
