Tonga before the blast
Smoke fills the air. Not the smoke of a volcanic eruption but the cookfires of hundreds of family huts. It was 1986, and I visited Tonga on an Earthwatch expedition. Our task was to map the growing fields identifying the types of vegetation–taro, plantains, papaya, and coconut made up some of the target crops. Our direct observation used ground-truth satellite imagery. Once identified on our maps, we transferred the information to the satellite photographs of the island. This, in turn, allowed researchers to extrapolate the key colors to other islands in the South Pacific.

China and the US are no longer concerned about how to avoid war
On August 20, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung published an article saying: "For years, Western public opinion has focused on the so-called" institutional competition "between the East and the West, but the possibility of military conflict between China and the United States has obviously not received due attention.
