His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

According to Hogue and Gonzales, the animals eat invasive plants and grasses while only minimally grazing on native plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.pnas.org/content/116/47/23594.short\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">study \u003c/a>from the University of Massachusetts Amherst found that these alien grasses are increasing the frequency of wildfires because of how easily they burn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you throw a bunch of matches into a forest, some small percentage of them might actually start a fire,” says Bethany Bradley, professor of environmental conservation at UMass Amherst and co-author of the study, “but if you throw a bunch of matches into a big hay pile, there’s a good chance that many of those will catch fire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study found that these alien grasses double or triple the likelihood of a fire occurring if they’re present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While this particular study didn’t measure the change in invasive plant abundance, researchers have found that climate change has made it easier for these plants to spread.

The challenge with them though, is that you can’t just do it once. They need to go back time and time again in order to keep controlling that biomass,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, not all researchers are convinced. Some like Jon Keeley from the U.S. Geological Survey think that using goats alone as fire prevention isn’t enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things that concerns some people is there is this feeling oftentimes that if you’re using goats to graze these invasive grasses, you’re somehow making the environment safer for communities and for homes,” Keeley says. “And that’s debatable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='wildfires' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that goats will eat grasses and keep the invasive plants down, but he says that the goats don’t go everywhere they’re needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The problem is those grasses are going to spread far beyond areas where you would graze the goats,” Keeley says. “These grasses are all over the Santa Monica Mountains, and so you’re not likely to impact very many areas by goat grazing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keeley says that grazing also isn’t enough since homes are most commonly lit aflame because of burning embers.

She also bought some microphones to make recordings inside the hive.

She can hear the waggle dance, which is the movement bees make to tell others where to find pollen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only can Gilbert hear the dance, she has started to notice variations in the sound depending on where the pollen is located.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The dance, it kind of happens in a little circle,” Gilbert said. “You’ll hear ‘bzzz bzzz bzzz,’ and it’s different patterns depending on how far away the pollen is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='bees' label='Related Coverage']Getting back to beekeeping was a triumph for Gilbert, but that’s just one part of her life: She fell in love again and remarried.

It’s been a full life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years ago, Gilbert donated one of her kidneys to a friend. The friend recovered, but the surgery didn’t go well for Gilbert: She suffered a rare complication that caused her remaining kidney to start failing.

She has managed to continue taking care of her hives, and after losing bees once in her life, she doesn’t want to go without them ever again.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An Entire Democratic Process Unfolding in a Hive\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Gilbert is not the first blind person to take an interest in bees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Aerial Gilbert, a blind beekeeper in Petaluma']‘They came in the mail, along with the hive … the postman was terrified.’[/pullquote]Swiss entomologist Francois Huber started losing his sight at age 15. In the 18th century, he made major discoveries about the lives of bees. He proved that bees use their antennae to communicate and that queens mate in the air. And he described how male drone bees — worker bees responsible for mating with the queen — were killed at the end of each summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those who are blind aren’t the only one listening to bees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers like Tom Seeley at Cornell University are recording them to better understand their behavior. Seeley wrote a book called “Honeybee Democracy” that’s about the decision-making process inside a hive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeley said you can listen to an entire democratic process unfolding inside a hive: You can hear the high-pitched buzz of worker bees telling the queen it’s time to fly to a new home. There are short, high-pitched bursts when a bee disagrees with some decision inside a hive and wants to vote against doing it. And you can hear the waggle dance that Gilbert has recorded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert’s life is now filled with the beauty and intricacy of all these sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story comes to us from Chris Hoff and Sam Harnett of “The World According to Sound” podcast. They’re partnering with the LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired in San Francisco to help us reimagine California in the rich way blind people experience it every day.

After six months it reached a breaking point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I made the decision, no more feeling sorry for myself,” Gilbert said, “No more hiding, no more being afraid because I am allowing whoever this person was to still hurt me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She then went to the state school for the blind in Albany, living there for six months and learning braille, how to orient herself and daily living.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I learned a lot of basically the tricks of being blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>You Can Hear the Bees’ Waggle Dance\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A few years ago, a friend had some hives she needed someone to look after. She asked Gilbert if she could. At first Gilbert hesitated, but she decided to give it a try.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He proved that bees use their antennae to communicate and that queens mate in the air. And he described how male drone bees — worker bees responsible for mating with the queen — were killed at the end of each summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And those who are blind aren’t the only one listening to bees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers like Tom Seeley at Cornell University are recording them to better understand their behavior. Seeley wrote a book called “Honeybee Democracy” that’s about the decision-making process inside a hive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeley said you can listen to an entire democratic process unfolding inside a hive: You can hear the high-pitched buzz of worker bees telling the queen it’s time to fly to a new home. There are short, high-pitched bursts when a bee disagrees with some decision inside a hive and wants to vote against doing it. And you can hear the waggle dance that Gilbert has recorded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert’s life is now filled with the beauty and intricacy of all these sounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story comes to us from Chris Hoff and Sam Harnett of “The World According to Sound” podcast.
