‘Mission Complete’ For Sully, George H.W. Bush’s Service Dog
A heart-wrenching photograph of Sully, George H.W. Bush’s service dog, was taken Sunday, showing the Labrador retriever resting beside the former president’s casket. “Mission complete,” Bush’s spokesman, Jim McGrath, captioned the image on Twitter. The 2-year-old Labrador retriever was specifically matched with the former president to provide support during his daily activities, America’s VetDogs told HuffPost in a statement.

Discovery Park
Rick Just: In 1935, when the State of Idaho acquired a little piece of land for a state park just below where Lucky Peak Dam is today, no one bothered to name the property. The 5.28 acre piece was called simply State Park for the next 20 years. Perhaps a name wasn’t really needed since, at the time, there were only two other state parks in Idaho, neither of which was anywhere near Boise. Everyone knew what you meant when you said State Park. On July 10, 1955, the Idaho Statesman ran a story in the history section by a man who wanted to give the generic park a name. Arthur R. Thomas, an amateur historian, had been on a quest to find out where the Wilson Price Hunt Party had been when they first saw the Boise River.

What Could Take the Shine Off of Solar? A Waste Problem
Solar panels require specialty recyclers that know how to extract elements like silicon, silver and copper. While weather damage is the primary reason why solar photovoltaic (PV) panels need to be recycled, that’s going to change in the next 20 years — and it’s unclear if we’ll be ready for it. According to a report by the United Nations International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA): "There will be 60 million tons of cumulative solar photovoltaic waste by 2050."

Some 3,856 partial or total building collapses were reported in Havana from 2000 to 2013, not including 2010 and 2011 when no records were kept. The collapses worsened an already severe housing shortage. Havana alone had a deficit of 206,000 homes in 2016, official figures show.
