TGIF- La Nina & Water temperature

La Nina’s return could lead to specific weather patterns in Canada. Typically, this phenomenon brings colder and wetter conditions to western Canada, potentially leading to increased snowfall and cooler temperatures. Meanwhile, central and eastern Canada might experience milder and drier conditions. Keep in mind that these are general trends and specific weather events can vary.

This may cause a cycle of cooler water surfacing and following the currents to bring more temperate whether to Canada. Ocean currents also have played roll in bringing exchange of water at temperature, it’s never exactly the same however watching and responding to ocean conditions can be productive.

Good luck

Parking regulations

For apartment buildings the federal mandarins want parking regulations and amounts made less PMC and more transit friendly (paraphrased).

Concerns

  • Limited parking spaces for residents to encourage the use of public transportation
  • Designated parking zones for car-sharing services to reduce individual car ownership
  • Bicycle storage or rental facilities to promote cycling as a mode of transport
  • Proximity to public transit hubs to minimize the need for private vehicles

Remember when parking’s only concern was a good vine.

The Artemis program, led by NASA, aims to land “the first woman and the next man” on the Moon by 2024 and establish a sustainable human presence on the lunar surface. The program also has plans for the Artemis Base Camp, a lunar gateway that will facilitate long-duration crewed missions and provide a platform for scientific research.

As of now, NASA is actively working on various components of the Artemis program. This includes the development and testing of the Space Launch System (SLS), the Orion spacecraft, and the lunar Gateway. Additionally, the selection of commercial partners and the continued progress of the overall mission architecture are key focus areas.

The Artemis program represents an exciting chapter in space exploration, and further updates about its progress can be found on the official NASA website and related space exploration resources.
