NYPD bee squad ready for sting operations on urban swarms

Although the New York Police Department detective's main job is working in a counterterrorism unit, he is also one of two official department beekeepers who dons protective gear and heads to the scene when buzzing swarms of the insects glom onto buildings, streetlights or other pieces of the urban landscape. The NYPD bee brigade responds to dozens of calls each spring and summer, including some recently where officers used vacuums to remove grotesque, wiggling masses of tens of thousands of bees from a lamppost near Grand Central Terminal, the awning of a restaurant and even a chained bicycle near Times Square.

Curbed's city sites have been hard at work mapping out where to catch PokA mon , but now there's not one but two resources-and more to come, surely-that are trying to catch 'em all-that is, by aggregating all of the PokA mon Go sightings in a single map. The first is PokA Mapper , a "crowd-sourced PokA mon Go sightings tracker" and "global collaborative map" built by OpenRide , a Sacramento-based peer-to-peer ride sharing service aimed at long-distance travelers.

China's ban on 'weird architecture' is not going particularly well

China, a country that is home to ten replica White Houses , issued a directive back in February demanding that its architects stop designing "oversized, xenocentric, weird" buildings and start designing buildings that are ""suitable, economic, green and pleasing to the eye." So, how's that going? Well, if the newly constructed North China University of Water Conservancy and Electric Power headquarters, which is shaped like a toilet , has anything to say about it: not all that well.
