Dr. Robert Bullard: Houston's "Unrestrained Capitalism" Made Harvey "Catastrophe Waiting to Happen" - Duration: 10:21.
AMY GOODMAN: This is Democracy Now!, Democracynow.org, The War and Peace Report.
I'm Amy Goodman.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And I'm Juan González.
Welcome to all of our listeners and viewers around the country and around the world.
The death toll is rising as massive amounts of rain from Hurricane Harvey continue to
flood Houston and other parts of Texas and Louisiana.
The Houston police and Coast Guard have rescued over 6,000 people from their homes, but many
remain stranded.
Meteorologists forecast another foot of rain could fall on the region in the coming days.
Harvey, which is now a tropical storm, is heading back to the Gulf of Mexico and is
expected to make landfall again on Wednesday.
AMY GOODMAN: So much rain has already fallen that the National Weather Service has had
to add two new colors to its maps to indicate rainfall levels.
Parts of Texas are expected to top 50 inches of rain.
And the rivers keep rising.
Southwest of Houston in Richmond, the Brazos River reached flood stage overnight at 45
feet, and the National Weather Service forecasts it will peak at 59 feet on Friday and remain
over 50 feet through Sunday.
Houston's KHOU described the epic amount of rain fall.
KHOU REPORTER: I want to show you what a meteorologist has done.
There it is.
The meteorologist calculates by the end of Wednesday, Harvey will have saturated all
of Southeast Texas with enough water to fill all the NFL and college stadiums, all of those
stadiums, more than 100 times.
Think about that.
More than 100 times.
So so far, the meteorologist is saying 15 trillion gallons of rain has fallen on a large
area and another 5 trillion or 6 trillion gallons forecast by the end of Wednesday.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: The official death toll is 14, but authorities warn it could rise dramatically
once the floodwaters recede.
Six people from one family died after their van was swept away by floodwaters.
Emergency shelters are approaching capacity.
RESIDENT: …crowded.
But all they said that we are getting 800 more people.
And it's like, what?
Where are they going to put us all?
You know, what about us from Corpus?
What are we going to do?
And FEMA is here right now, but the line is enormous.
Yesterday we were in line for three hours and couldn't even see FEMA.
So, I don't know what's going to happen.
Buses just keep rolling in.
And we need everybody's help.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: Concern is also growing over the environmental impact of the storm.
The Houston area is home to more than a dozen oil refineries.
The group Air Alliance Houston is warning the shutdown of the petrochemical plants will
send more than one million pounds of harmful pollution into the air.
Residents of Houston's industrial communities are already reporting unbearable chemical-like
smells coming from the many plants nearby.
According to Bryan Parras, an activist at the environmental justice group t.e.j.a.s.,
"Fenceline communities can't leave or evacuate, so they are literally getting gassed by these
chemicals."
The communities closest to these sites in Houston are disproportionately low income
and minority.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, a massive fuel storage tank at Kinder Morgan's Pasadena terminal
began spilling after being toppled in the storm.
The tank held 6.3 million gallons of gasoline, but it is unclear how much of that leaked.
And in the city of La Porte, residents were asked to go to the nearest shelter, close
doors and windows after a chemical spill was reported last night.
AMY GOODMAN: While the National Hurricane Center is now calling Harvey the biggest rainstorm
on record, it has not come as a complete surprise.
Scientists have been predicting for years climate change could result in massive storms
like Harvey.
Climate scientist Michael Mann wrote this: "Harvey was almost certainly more intense
than it would have been in the absence of human-caused warming, which means stronger
winds, more wind damage and a larger storm surge."
We go now to Houston to speak with Robert Bullard, known as the father of environmental
justice, currently a Distinguished Professor at Texas Southern University.
He's the former director of the Environmental Justice Resource Center at Clark Atlanta University.
We are reaching Dr. Bullard from his home in Houston, which he needs to evacuate later
this morning due to the rising Brazos River.
Professor Bullard, thanks so much for being with us.
Can you talk about the situation you are in and so many people in Houston are in right
now?
Describe the scene for us.
And then how you relate it to your life's work, to the issue of climate change and environmental
justice.
DR.
ROBERT BULLARD: Well, good morning, and thanks for having me.
Harvey and the aftermath, the flooding of Houston and the surrounding areas, it's
of biblical proportions.
This is a nightmare.
And the images that you see on television and you hear the voices of people who have
been just totally destroyed.
And this is a situation where I think it's telling us that we have to change.
We have to change the way we do business and the way that we as humans interact with our
environment.
And this is basically the situation where this storm, this flooding of this city, tells
us that there is no place that is immune from devastation.
I worked in New Orleans in the flooding after Katrina.
New Orleans was only 500,000 people.
Houston is 2.3 million people.
And then you look at the surrounding areas.
You're talking 5.5 or almost 6 million people.
And so you talk about this devastation.
It is historical proportions.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: And Dr. Bullard, to what degree do you think unchecked development by Houston's
officials over the past several decades has created an even worse possibility for calamity
when a natural disaster like this hits?
DR.
ROBERT BULLARD: Well, Houston is actually—was a catastrophe waiting to happen, given the
fact you have unrestrained capitalism, no zoning, laissez-faire regulations when it
comes to control of the very industries that have created lots of problems when it comes
to greenhouse gases and other industrial pollution.
The impact that basically has been ignored for many years.
And so the fact that—it is a disaster, but it is a very predictable disaster.
And those communities that historically have borne the burden of environmental pollution
and contamination from these many industries at the same time are the very communities
that are bearing disproportionally the burden of this flooding.
So you get this pre-existing condition of inequality before the storm, and this inequality
in terms of how people are able to address this disaster because of vulnerability.
And I think what we have to do is, look at lessons—well, not learn from Katrina in
terms of the rebuilding, redevelopment and recovery.
JUAN GONZÁLEZ: There has been quite a bit of second-guessing of Mayor Sylvester Turner's
decision not to call for an evacuation of the city.
I am wondering your take on that, especially given what happened with Hurricane—was it
Rita?—a couple of years ago, when there was an evacuation effort made, but more people
ended up dying—about 100 people—in the gridlock that occurred as people tried to
leave a city as large as Houston.
DR.
ROBERT BULLARD: Well, it is easy to second guess, but the fact is that trying to evacuate
2.3 million people on these highways is almost a task that is impossible.
And so I don't think there was anything that you can say, "Well, why is it that the
mayor and the county judge decided to go this way?"
When you look at the problems of logistics and trying to move this many people on these
highways getting out of the city, that probably was not a good choice to make.
So I think the decision to have people shelter in place—and no one could predict what happened
afterwards.
So I think the best that we can do now, instead of pointing fingers, is pointing to solutions
and pointing to ways that we can address the many problems and challenges that we face
today.
And having to evacuate and leave your home and go out there and not know what is ahead
of you?
You have your life, and I am blessed that—when you see those images, you can see that this
is pain.
And I think all governmental officials and governmental agencies and voluntary associations
and civic groups and faith groups, we have to come together and make sure that we do
what is right.
Not what is politically expedient, but do what is right and make sure we build a just
and healthy and sustainable city when we rebuild, and when we recover.
It has to be just.
-------------------------------------------
Hurricane Harvey: Zip Code & Race Determine Who Will Bear Burden Of Climate Change - Duration: 5:45.
AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Bullard, I want to talk about this issue of justice.
You live in the fourth-largest city in the country, Houston.
The most diverse city in the country, Houston.
And it is the "petro metro."
That's right, the Houston area home to more than a dozen oil refineries.
The group Air Alliance Houston warning the shutdown of the petrochemical plants will
send more than a million pounds of harmful pollution into the air.
Residents of Houston's industrial communities already reporting unbearable chemical-like
smells coming from the many plants nearby.
Yesterday, we interviewed Bryan Parras with the group t.e.j.a.s., the environmental justice
group, who said, "Fenceline communities can't leave or evacuate, so they are literally getting
gassed by these chemicals."
This is an issue you have dealt with for a long time, from New Orleans to Baton Rouge
to Houston, Professor Bullard.
The communities closest to these petrochemical sites in Houston, disproportionately low income
and minority.
You have Saturday, as we reported in the lead, a massive fuel storage at Kinder Morgan's
Pasadena terminal, spilling after being toppled in the storm.
The tank held 6.3 million gallons of gasoline, but unclear how much gas leaked.
Can you talk about the significance of where people live and the disproportionate impact
of climate change on communities of color and poorer communities?
DR.
ROBERT BULLARD: Well, the best predictor of health and well-being in our society, and
including Houston, is ZIP Code.
You tell me your ZIP Code, I can tell you how healthy you are.
And one of the best predictors of environmental vulnerability is ZIP Code and race.
And all communities are not created equal.
Houston's people of color communities historically have borne the burden for environmental pollution,
and also the impact of flooding and other kinds of natural and man-made disasters.
When we talk about the impact of sea level rise and we talk about the impacts of climate
change, you're talking about a disproportionate impact on communities of color, on poor people,
on people who don't have health insurance, communities that don't have access to food
and grocery stores.
So you talk about mapping vulnerability and mapping this disaster and the impact, not
just the loss of housing and loss of jobs, but also the impact of having pollution and
these spills, and the oil and chemicals going into the water, and who is living closest
to these hazards?
Historically, even before Harvey, before this storm, before this flood, people of color
in Houston bore a disproportionate burden of having to live next to, surrounded by,
these very dangerous chemicals.
And so you talk about these chemical hotspots, these sacrifice zones.
Those are the communities that are people of color.
Houston is the fourth-largest city, but it's the only city that does not have zoning.
And what it has is—communities of color and poor communities have been unofficially
zoned as compatible with pollution.
And we say that is—we have a name for it.
We call that environmental injustice and environmental racism.
It is that plain and it's just that simple.
And so this flood in Houston is exacerbating existing disparities, so that is why I say
we have to talk about—when we talk about moving past the flooding part, and moving
to cleanup and recovery and rebuilding, we have to build in environmental and economic
justice into that formula.
Otherwise, we will be rebuilding on inequity.
We say that's unacceptable.
AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Bullock, we only have 30 seconds.
But your own situation now, you are being forced to move?
DR.
ROBERT BULLARD: I am being forced to move because of the rising Brazos River.
It is supposed to crest at 59 feet.
And so I live in an area where we have been told we have to evacuate.
And so I am packing up right now and getting ready to leave out of here.
And so, it doesn't—there is nobody in this town that this flood has not touched.
And so, that is the nature of and the horrific—how this has touched so many people.
And we have to do the right thing.
AMY GOODMAN: Dr. Robert Bullard, we want to thank you for being with us.
Father of environmental justice movement, as he talks about environmental racism.
Currently Distinguished Professor at Texas Southern University.
This is Democracy Now!.
When we come back, how is this affecting undocumented immigrants?
As President Trump heads to Texas today, it is also said he is threatening to end DACA
imminently.
85,000 residents in Houston are under DACA, meaning they can live and work legally in
Houston.
What does this mean for them right now?
Stay with us.

What Wore ~ Funk It Up ~ Ep. 17 - Duration: 4:31.
[Audio Length: 00:04:30] RECORDING COMMENCES:
Rajka Hayden: Welcome to the Dress Up Mom.
Hello, friends.
Another week where we get to pick out and wear some outfits.
Yay!
Let's get to it.
I'm taking this staple Kit and Ace dress that is a pretty basic dress, and I really love
it.
I love Kit and Ace.
It feels so great.
It's a pretty basic dress, and I'm funking it up a little bit.
The biggest thing I'm doing to it is, I put this vintage vest over it.
This is a vintage Persian vest.
It is so beautiful.
It has this sparkle to it, and it's all embroidered with this felt, but look at the back.
This elephant in the back.
I just really love it.
I've got that paired with, these are beads and a little tassel necklace that I got when
I went to see Amma at her global marketplace, and then again, one of my favorite things
as well, these Briar clogs that I think tie it all in together.
Today, I'm wearing that same Kit and Ace dress, just styled a little differently.
It's a nice basic dress, shift for the summer.
I really like the back and how it flows, the design of that.
I'm going to work, so I'm doing it a little differently.
I have this choker that I just made out of some vintage fabric that I love the colors.
I think they're nice and bold, and it picks up on the purple in my camper platform shoes
that I love and are super comfy.
Then, I'll probably take my Levi's jacket and have that for the office, because it gets
a little bit chilly in there, even in the summer.
So, Kit and Ace dress styled a different way.
Going to work today, and I'm wearing some of my old favorites.
This top to start with is a vintage silk little piece, and I love this cutout here.
I think it's very flattering.
The way it fits, the length of it.
I didn't have to do anything to it.
It's this nice silk, and I've had it for a long time.
It goes with everything.
This is a Trina Turk skirt that I bought resale at Flashbacks many years ago.
The shoes, this little leopard kitten heel, is from eBay.
It's a designer brand, I think Ted Ziegar or something.
It rubbed out of the insoles.
I've worn them so much I can't even remember who it's from.
Then, this little sweater, because it gets a little chilly in there sometimes, is a little
cashmere, just basic cardigan that I got from Uniqlo maybe 10 years ago.
It just keeps on taking and looking great.
That's what I'm going to be wearing in the office today.
I'm wearing this Saint John knit sweater-y shell that I got resale a long time ago.
I like the color of it, and I have it paired with these culottes.
These culottes are, they were Tahari pants that I bought at Flashbacks resale, but I
took them in and I had them turned into culottes.
We moved the bottom part up and made them into culottes.
Then, I'm having a little loafer here, a Bass loafer that I got at an outlet mall to kind
of tie it all in and make it a look a little bit different as well as these earrings from
454 Tattoo.
We are on our way to go see some live music out on a patio at one of our favorite hotels,
La Valencia, and I am wearing this '70s vintage palazzo pant one-piece little jumpsuit,
which to me just screams having fun.
We're going to have a great time tonight.
I have my 454 Tattoo earrings with it.
This beautiful pashmina in case it gets a little bit cold later.
This was gifted to me by my son's really good friend and our friend who just came back
from Asia.
I think it goes with the paisley here in my grandmother's purse.
This is the Amma prayer cloth that got put into my grandmother's purse.
I am off to have a great time.
That's it for this week.
I hope that you enjoyed the outfits.
Would love to have in the comments below your favorite one, your favorite ones.
Or, if one didn't work or just the kinds of vintage pieces that you look to incorporate
into your wardrobe.
Thank you so much for watching.
I appreciate it so much.
Until next time, have fun and dress it up a little.

#ShotonOnePlus Adventures – Durdle Door ft. Giacomo Mantovani - Duration: 2:03.
Today I am gonna bring you in Durdle Door
Dorset, South of England.
And I am gonna show you how to take a money shot with the OnePlus 5
using the best settings in manual mode.
In order to do this I'll need to take two pictures
one during the day and one during the night
and then blend them together with the Photoshop app.
First of all I am gonna find the right spot and frame the shot.
Then I will work in manual mode
shooting in RAW
using the lowest ISO
and slightly underexpose.
At this point I just have to leave the camera in position
and wait for the night to take over
and then shoot the second picture
in the darkest moment which will happen in about 5 hours.
This time I am gonna shoot using a higher ISO as its really dark
and I am gonna select the longest exposure time
and set the focus to the infinite.
This is already a really nice shot straight from the camera
but by blending it with the daylight shot
I am gonna be able to make it look even better
by adding extra details to the darkest areas.
But before I do that I need to prepare the daylight shot
by increasing the exposure
the contrast
the highlights
the shadows
and the clarity.
Now I can blend it using the "overlay" option
and reducing a bit its intensity.
Lastly but not least
I am gonna add a vignette and blend it as well.
And that's it, the magic is done!
