Fall Colors Arriving
A few days after autumn showed up on the calendar in the Northern Hemisphere, it showed up on the landscape of North America. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured this view of fall colors around the Great Lakes on Sept. 26, 2014.
The changing of leaf color in temperate forests involves several causes and reactions, but the dominant factors are sunlight and heat. Since temperatures tend to drop sooner and sunlight fades faster at higher latitudes, the progression of fall color changes tends to move from north to south across North America from mid-September through mid-November.

A
Bruxelles sono in corso le audizioni dei Commissari designati da
Juncker: in poche parole si sta formando il governo dell’Europa, ma a
tutta la stampa nazionale e internazionale sembra importare solo delle
nozze di George Clooney. Almeno questa è l’impressione scorrendo i
maggiori quotidiani nazionali ed europei. Gli unici che si salvano da
questa abbuffata di gossip sono i tedeschi, che rimangono con i piedi
per terra, accorgendosi che effettivamente a Bruxelles si stanno
presentando al parlamento i futuri commissari della più importante (e
potente) istituzione dell’UE.
Sarà un caso che siano proprio loro a dominare la scena europea in lungo e in largo?

Infatti,
Mentre guardavo su RAI 1 un dibattito televisivo sui falsi invalidi veniva interrotto per mostrare George Clooney con la moglie, alla fine la trasmissione era tutta per Clooney quando questo neanche ci fila.
Giustamente lei dice che in Italia si pensa più al gossip che alle cose serie, quelle che decidono il futuro dei nostri figli. Ma mi sorge il dubbio che certa stampa pilotata ha più interesse a nascondere notizie quali la formazione del governo europeo piuttosto che sbattere in prima pagina.

Queste sì che sono lotte a

Perché se riusciamo a fare entrare il merito al posto della partitocrazia avremo ospedali specializzati e i migliori dottori al mondo non come adesso che i migliori li fanno scappare altrimenti viene a galla la deficienza dei raccomandati.

Parteneriatul
dintre Dacia si Renault a implinit 15 ani! 2,3 miliarde de euro
investiti la Mioveni, 17.000 de familii din Romania care au bunastare
datorita locurilor de munca create, exporturi record de peste 7% din
totalul tarii si o contributie semnificativa la PIB-ul Romaniei si la
cresterea economica - toate sunt motive pentru care Dacia a devenit cel
mai cunoscut brand industrial al Romaniei.
Imi doresc ca aceasta relatie de succes sa continue pentru multa vreme de acum inainte. Ca premier si in viata de zi cu zi Dacia m-a ajutat de multe ori sa ajung la destinatie si va promit ca voi folosi masini romanesti si cand voi fi presedinte! La multi ani, Dacia-Renault!

CHI
E' MATTEO RENZI. "Da studente liceale osteggiava i rapporti
prematrimoniali. Da giovane faceva il portaborse di un deputato ex Dc.
Da politicante nella Margherita era il galoppino di Francesco Rutelli.
Poi, nutrito di TV e di berlusconismo, ha cominciato la sua scalata di
potere, benedetta da Comunione e liberazione e dai Focolarini (una
organizzazione ecclesiale). A partire dal 2004, per un decennio Renzi fa
l’amministratore locale (presidente della Provincia e sindaco di
Firenze) a colpi di slogan, populismi e demagogia, con una dedizione
ossessiva ai mass media secondo la dottrina berlusconiana. Utilizzando
le cariche pubbliche, Renzi tesse la sua personale ragnatela di potere,
il cui regista nell’ombra è l’ultracattolico Marco Carrai (ex Forza
Italia), e il cui alveo internazionale scorre tra Washington e Tel Aviv.
Alimentata da un fiume di denaro, la ragnatela del potere renziano
viene sostenuta da organizzazioni cattoliche, da imprenditori e
finanzieri, da scabrosi personaggi come l’americano Michael Ledeen, e da
Silvio Berlusconi in persona. Alla guida di un governo nato da una
crisi extraparlamentare, privo di viatico elettorale, espresso da un
Parlamento delegittimato perché eletto con una normativa
incostituzionale, basato su una ambigua maggioranza truffaldina rispetto
al mandato elettorale. E con un governo del genere, Renzi intende
manomettere la Costituzione.

#SocialEconomy
has gained a lot of attention in recent years and with good reason: not
only can it serve social inclusion and innovation, but it has
demonstrated a true potential in creating jobs and promoting
entrepreneurship at local level.

The Shrinking Aral Sea
In the 1960s, the Soviet Union undertook a major water diversion project on the arid plains of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan. The region’s two major rivers, fed by snowmelt and precipitation in faraway mountains, were used to transform the desert into farms for cotton and other crops. Before the project, the Syr Darya and the Amu Darya rivers flowed down from the mountains, cut northwest through the Kyzylkum Desert, and finally pooled together in the lowest part of the basin. The lake they made, the Aral Sea, was once the fourth largest in the world.
Although irrigation made the desert bloom, it devastated the Aral Sea. This series of images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite documents the changes. At the start of the series in 2000, the lake was already a fraction of its 1960 extent (black line). The Northern Aral Sea (sometimes called the Small Aral Sea) had separated from the Southern (Large) Aral Sea. The Southern Aral Sea had split into eastern and western lobes that remained tenuously connected at both ends.
By 2001, the southern connection had been severed, and the shallower eastern part retreated rapidly over the next several years. Especially large retreats in the eastern lobe of the Southern Sea appear to have occurred between 2005 and 2009, when drought limited and then cut off the flow of the Amu Darya. Water levels then fluctuated annually between 2009 and 2014 in alternately dry and wet years. Dry conditions in 2014 caused the Southern Sea’s eastern lobe to completely dry up for the first time in modern times.
As the lake dried up, fisheries and the communities that depended on them collapsed. The increasingly salty water became polluted with fertilizer and pesticides. The blowing dust from the exposed lakebed, contaminated with agricultural chemicals, became a public health hazard. The salty dust blew off the lakebed and settled onto fields, degrading the soil. Croplands had to be flushed with larger and larger volumes of river water. The loss of the moderating influence of such a large body of water made winters colder and summers hotter and drier.
In a last-ditch effort to save some of the lake, Kazakhstan built a dam between the northern and southern parts of the Aral Sea. Completed in 2005, the dam was basically a death sentence for the southern Aral Sea, which was judged to be beyond saving. All of the water flowing into the desert basin from the Syr Darya now stays in the Northern Aral Sea. Between 2005 and 2006, the water levels in that part of the lake rebounded significantly and very small increases are visible throughout the rest of the time period. The differences in water color are due to changes in sediment.
