Central New York is no stranger to neighbors rolling up their sleeves and going to work to help one another. The latest example comes in the form of the Be A Neighbor Fund. The fund has awarded its fifth and final monetary gift to a local restaurant.
The Be A Neighbor Fund was established in January of 2021 by three local companies. Their mission was to do something to help benefit other businesses that were struggling due to the impact of COVID-19. Those three companies, or organizations, were Universal Bookkeeper, Made in Utica and McGrogan Design. Since the fund s inception on February 1st, local community members donated over $27,000 to the fund.

To investigate humans impact on freshwater resources, scientists have now conducted the first global accounting of fluctuating water levels in Earth s lakes and reservoirs - including ones previously too small to measure from space.
The research, published March 3 in the journal
Nature, relied on NASA s Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite 2 (ICESat-2), launched in September 2018.
ICESat-2 sends 10,000 laser light pulses every second down to Earth. When reflected back to the satellite, those pulses deliver high-precision surface height measurements every 28 inches (70 centimeters) along the satellite s orbit. With these trillions of data points, scientists can distinguish more features of Earth s surface, like small lakes and ponds, and track them over time.
