SUMMARY:Coming Wars with Venezuela\, Iran\, Russia and China
DESCRIPTION:Dan Kovalik is a human rights and labor lawyer\, and his new book makes the case that the Trump/Russia scandal is a dangerous diversion that leads some progressives to agitate for war with Russia. Kovalik’s book offers history and context for the current scene and the “blame Russia” memes promoted by  the media\, based on anonymous leaks and unseen intelligence. From Vietnam to Iran/Contra\, the Iraq war and intervention in Libya\, false intelligence and spin have been used to justify illegal actions. \nKovalik notes that people–who marched against Bush’s wars–are now stoking efforts to limit Trump’s options with Russia\, and some are calling for war in response to unproven claims of cyber attacks. \nThe demonetization of Russia includes a new McCarthyism\, and PBC relates how a recent interviewer casually smeared NSA whistle blower Bill Binney as a Russian sympathizer\, because Binney argues that the breach of DNC servers was an insider leak\, not an outsider hack. \nNear the end of the interview\, Kovalik comments on the situation in Venezuela.  He will be in Caracas for the July 30 election\, and will report on it . \nForeign Policy  Domestic Political policy

SUMMARY:Health Justice- Workers' Rights\, Work Life Balance and Being Good to Yourself
DESCRIPTION:Come to our gathering as we discuss health justice\, or how injustice and lack of action on various social justice issues worsens health outcomes and leads to higher health care costs.  For this month’s gathering\, we will discuss a few interrelated themes\, starting with labor and worker rights\, hostile work environments\, lack of work-life balance\, and its effect on health and health care costs.  Also to be discussed will be rethinking practices at schools and colleges with regard to extreme homework and study overloads\, and extreme busyness either imposed by other means such as city design\, or touted as a status symbol\, and why it is time to change our thinking and planning on this.  In living up to that ‘personal responsibility’ that proponents of our current immoral health care system love to ‘talk the talk’ about\, one of the best ways to really ‘walk the walk’ on this\, along with diet and exercise\, would be to re-evaluate not only our work environments and worker treatment\, but also look at how we can make it both feasible and fashionable to cut down on overwork and time overload from other areas of life.  I will give a brief presentation on these issues\, then open it up to all attendees to share their stories\, thoughts\, input\, suggestions\, etc. \n  \nMeeting will be held at: \nTarka Indian Kitchen\n721 W 19th St.\nHouston\, TX 77008

The second half of the talk will explain the relationship between Earth Charter principles & Christian social teaching\, using the social statements of the ELCA as a basis.

SUMMARY:The Wonders of the Deep Sea
DESCRIPTION:Approximately two thirds of the earth’s surface is covered by oceans with an average depth of about 2.65 miles. Below 0.62 miles\, the water is completely dark\, temperatures plummet to 39 °F\, and the pressure is about 40 times the pressure of earth’s atmosphere. Nonetheless\, many creatures can live in this extreme place having no light. Deep sea explorations have found shrimp\, fish\, coral\, tube worms\, mussels\, starfish\, and many other creatures even below 2 miles. About 95% of the ocean remains unexplored\, and marine scientists continuously find new species in this unusual place. In addition to creatures\, huge quantities of methane gas hydrates and billions of tons of manganese nodules are found in deep ocean floors (2-4 miles deep). Manganese nodules grow only 10-100 millimeters per million years. Gas hydrates may contain roughly twice the carbon contained in all reserves of coal\, oil\, and conventional natural gas combined. Join Professor Hyun-Min Hwang of Texas Southern University to be awestruck by these\, and other\, wonders of the deep sea. To join the conversation\, please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:The Wonders of Coastal Wetlands
DESCRIPTION:Historically\, wetlands were considered useless land\, and we filled them in to make farmland and housing. Today\, we realize that wetlands provide numerous valuable services to humanity\, and we seek to protect and restore them. Coastal wetlands are threatened by a number of factors\, but can be remarkably resilient to moderate rates of sea level rise. This talk will review some of the benefits we derive from coastal wetlands\, discuss the threats facing them\, and explain why we have reason to expect that wetlands will survive despite ongoing global change. Join this conversation with Professor Steven Pennings of the University of Houston as we wonder at coastal wetlands! Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:Discovering Our Texas Native Lady Beetles
DESCRIPTION:Lady beetles\, or ladybugs\, have long been recognized as one of the best biological controls for many insect pests in both home gardens and agri-business. The diversity in this family of insects has been well-characterized yet they have largely been represented by only a few select species which have been introduced in the U.S. via different methods. So\, who are our native lady beetles? What are their dietary preferences and habitat needs? This presentation is an introduction to some of the native lady beetles in the greater Houston area and an overview of their biology and habitat needs. Additionally\, the presentation will explore threats to lady beetle populations\, how iNaturalist can be used as a tool to discover who our native lady beetles\, and some of the misconceptions about these fascinating insects. Join this conversation with Rebecca Lloyd\, Texas Master Naturalist\, as we wonder at Texas Lady beetles!  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:The Wonders of Plant-Microbe Interactions
DESCRIPTION:  \nPlants\, like humans\, interact with a diversity of microscopic organisms\, and scientists are just becoming aware of the role that microbiomes play in influencing host health. Current evidence suggests that despite their small size\, microbes can have big impacts on natural ecosystems – from influencing whether plants are edible to determining how diverse a prairie is. Join Professor Kerri Crawford\, Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Biology & Biochemistry at the University of Houston\, as she discusses some of the key microbial partners that plants interact with\, what impact they have in structuring ecological communities\, and how plant-microbe interactions may help solve some of our most pressing problems.  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com.

SUMMARY:The Wonders of Harvester Ants
DESCRIPTION:In arid grasslands and deserts throughout North and South America\, the most abundant insects are harvester ants.  These large and conspicuous ant species feed on seeds\, which they harvest directly from plants and store in their nests. Unlike most species of ants\, members of a single colony are not closely related to each other; each colony is genetically diverse. Join Professor Diane Wiernasz of the University of Houston as she discusses how the harvester ant life cycle is an adaptation to the harsh conditions of the desert\, how these ants affect the abundance and distribution of plant communities\, and the sometimes surprising consequences of colony genetic variation. Come wonder at harvester ants! Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n  \n
