April 28, 2024 - An unintentionally funny video by a zionist propagandist shows off some good organisation and discipline at the UCLA encampment for Palestine.
Les dispositions réglementaires contre l’ombre sont universellement répandues et ont conditionné le développement des villes. Le cas le plus spectaculaire est peut-être celui du profil de New York entre les deux guerres. Sur les photos des années 40, Manhattan fait l’effet d’une cité maya. Le profil de Manhattan est un dessin projeté d’en bas, du fond de la rue, à partir des figures que les ombres des constructions ‘ne doivent pas faire’. C’est l’ombre qui a décidé du profil de la ville.
French police have detained a man who threatened to blow himself up at Iran’s consulate in Paris.
Police found no explosives at the consulate or on the suspect who was detained there on Friday, French prosecutors said, after the consulate reported a man had entered with ammunition.
Police arrested the suspect, born in 1963 in Iran, when he exited of his own accord after appearing to have “threatened violent action” inside, the Agence France-Presse (AFP) news agency quoted the Paris prosecutor’s office as saying.
“No explosive materials have been observed at this stage” either on him, in his car or in the building, prosecutors said. [...]
Costa Rica generates around 99 percent of its electricity from renewable sources. How was the country able to accomplish that?
Kenneth Lobo Méndez: The secret of this achievement is mainly planning.
Identify the capacity of the different energy sources so you can get the big picture about how different resources can work together to get a renewable system. In the winter, like a six-month period from June to December, many of the hydropower plants get surplus flows. That’s when we have low wind, but we have more hydropower. And then in the summer, like from December to May perhaps, we get low hydropower, so the other sources of energy complement that electricity supply — mainly wind power, biomass, and geothermal.

In the US, we’re used to many smaller private electric utilities. Does having a national energy company like ICE make it easier to adopt renewable energy?
KLB: In our perspective, yes, it’s an advantage that the planning is held by a government state company. It can make a plan for the country according to the government’s vision. We only sell what we need, and there’s no interference from different stakeholders. It makes the planning process more simple.
Mural in Geneva, Switzerland to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Carnation Revolution in Portugal on 25 April 1974.
The revolution began as a coup organized by left-wing Portuguese military officers, the Armed Forces Movement, which led to the end of the Estado Novo fascist regime, and sparked a popular civil resistance campaign. Negotiations with African independence movements began, and by the end of 1974, Portuguese troops were withdrawn from Guinea-Bissau, soon followed in 1975 by the independence of Cape Verde, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe and Angola in Africa and the declaration of independence of East Timor in Southeast Asia.
