Hundreds of people, including students, attended an Istisqa rain prayer in Jakarta, Indonesia on 2026-09-01 to ask for rain. ^[1] The Istisqa prayer was held during a severe drought period in Indonesia caused by the El Nino climate pattern. ^[2] A strategic position for the air conditioner favors uniform airflow and prevents the equipment from working excessively to reach the desired temperature. ^[3] Air conditioners should be installed by professionals to ensure correct separation from furniture, walls, and other obstacles. ^[4] Improper air conditioner installation or inefficient usage can significantly increase energy consumption and raise electricity bills. ^[5] The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency of the United States) recommends installing the indoor unit in a central wall location. ^[6] A comprehensive cost analysis of curbside organics collection programs across 10 communities, ranging from a small Minnesota town to large cities, found that a well-planned three-stream program (garbage, recycling, and organics) can cost residents roughly the same as a two-stream program (garbage and recycling). ^[7] Reducing trash collection frequency from weekly to every-other-week when food scraps are diverted to organics can partially or fully absorb the cost of weekly organics collection, according to the article's analysis. ^[8] Standard or mandatory participation models, where all eligible households are enrolled by default, produce economies of scale that make per-unit costs competitive with two-stream programs, while opt-in models drive up per-unit costs. ^[9] The 2023 BioCycle Nationwide Access Survey reported approximately 400 residential food waste collection programs operating across the U.S., serving an estimated 15 million households. ^[10] El Nino has brought drought, wildfires, and poor air quality to several cities across Indonesia. ^[11] The photograph of the event is credited to photographer Mast Irham of the European Pressphoto Agency (EPA). ^[12]
