Shift To Outdoor Dining At Many Restaurants Amid Coronavirus Restrictions May Put Up Barriers For People With Disabilities.

Washington Post (8/21, Mailman) reported the shift by many restaurants in cities to outdoor seating amid coronavirus restrictions on indoor dining has in many cases “put up barriers for people with disabilities and come into conflict with the Americans With Disabilities Act,” since “the ADA requires that sidewalk width must be a minimum of 36 inches for wheelchair access.” Amid this challenge, “many cities have drawn up new guidelines to help restaurateurs keep sidewalks ADA compliant.” However, “strong regulations aren’t always enough,” and one business owner quoted in the article said “he has noticed other businesses aren’t in compliance.” For example, “some created dining areas that require steps.”

Self-powered wildfire detector could help prevent deadly blazes

Ian RandallAs wildfires once again rage across California, scientists say they have hit on a cheaper, easier way to detect and warn of such deadly blazes: a new type of forest fire sensor powered by nothing more than the swaying of trees. The device—the size of a soup can and costing just $20 to produce—would theoretically be much cheaper than satellite monitoring or manned patrols.There have been more than 37,000 wildfires in the United States this year, charring nearly 11,000 square kilometers of land.

Ancient megadrought may explain civilization’s ‘missing millennia’ in Southeast Asia

Charles ChoiA megadrought that lasted more than 1000 years may have plagued Southeast Asia 5000 years ago, setting up dramatic shifts in regional civilizations, suggests a new study of cave rocks in northern Laos. The researchers believe the drought began when the drying of the distant Sahara Desert disrupted monsoon rains and triggered droughts throughout the rest of Asia and Africa.For years, archaeologists studying mainland Southeast Asia—an area encompassing modern-day Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam—have been puzzled by what they call “the missing millennia,” a period from roughly 6000 to 4000 years ago with little evidence of human settlements.
