The image in this article is a book cover showing the 3 Giza pyramids in Egypt.
At the lower right, you see sort of a green triangle. It’s not something I would expect to see next to the pyramids.
Can anybody guess what it really is?

Smart meters use basically the same wireless technology as cell phones.
The FCC sets radiation standards, with which all manufacturers of smart meters must comply.

This wavelength is thousands of times larger than structures in the brain responsible for mental processes, and so claims that wireless radiation can cause maladies such as “dizziness” or “memory loss” are absurd.
BDCC and SeVEDS have released a draft version of the 2018 Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy. Below you’ll find the full text of what is being suggested for improvements to this part of the state. It is currently a draft, and you can get involved to help improve it.

We have 5 spots left in A Drawing Season, a “low-residency” drawing study from January to March 2019. With a mix of private lessons, small group workshops and in-studio drawing time you can re-learn drawing as a natural and connective activity. Children draw and are world makers when they do. As adults we, semi-consciously, agree to draw what something looks like rather than our experience of it. They are not the same thing!
