An especially old or elaborate stone slab may be called a funeral stele, stela, or slab. The use of such markers is traditional for Chinese, Jewish, Christian, and Islamic burials, as well as other traditions. In East Asia, the tomb's spirit tablet is the focus for ancestral veneration and may be removable for greater protection between rituals.

The presence of a frame for photographs of the deceased is also increasingly common.

World Carfree Network
The World Carfree Network (WCN) is an international network that coordinates the actions of car-free advocates from around the world. It is the main hub of the global car-free movement. The World Carfree Network brings together roughly 90-member organisations and many more individuals dedicated to promoting alternatives to car dependence and automobile-based planning at the international level. Working to reduce the human impact on the natural environment while improving the quality of life for all are major goals.

Car dependency
Car dependency is a pattern in urban planning that occurs when infrastructure favors automobiles over other modes of transport, such as public transport, bicycles, and walking. Car dependency is associated with higher transport pollution than transport systems that treat all transportation modes equally.

Car infrastructure is often paid for by governments from general taxes rather than gasoline taxes or mandated by governments. For instance, many cities have minimum parking requirements for new housing, which in practice requires developers to "subsidize" drivers. In some places, bicycles and rickshaws are banned from using road space, and pedestrian use of road space has been criminalized in many jurisdictions (see jaywalking) since the early 20th century. The road lobby plays an important role in maintaining car dependency, arguing that car infrastructure is good for economic growth.
Astrothelium flavomeristosporum
Astrothelium flavomeristosporum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling),  crustose lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Ecuador and the Philippines, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected by American botanist Edward Elmer from Irosin (Sorsogon, Luzon), in 1916. The lichen has a smooth and somewhat shiny, greyish-green thallus with a cortex surrounded by a thin (0.1 mm wide) black prothallus line. It covers areas of up to 9 cm (3.5 in) in diameter, and does not induce the formation of galls in the host tree. No lichen products were detected in the species using thin-layer chromatography. The main characteristics of the lichen distinguishing it from others in Astrothelium are its smooth to uneven thallus, its prominent, blackish, and exposed ascomata, and its yellow hamathecium.
