Hoje faço (43) anos - partilho convosco um tema fabuloso de Lisa Gerrard: Space Weaver

Prometo não usar velas: primeiro são menos eficientes que as próprias lâmpadas incandescentes (!) e fluorescentes [ler este artigo com os respectivos cálculos] e segundo já começam a ser muitas para apagar (risos).

Prefiro mesmo ouvir boa música, em boa companhia e estar com amigos e viver um bom dia.

Muslimgauze - Mullah Said (projecto Bryn Jones, 1998)

Muslimgauze was a music project of Bryn Jones (17 June 1961–14 January 1999), a prolific British ethnic electronica and experimental musician, influenced by conflicts in the Muslim world with an emphasis on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. With dozens of albums released under the Muslimgauze name, Jones was remarkably prolific, but his mainstream success was limited due in part to his work being issued mostly in limited editions on small record labels.

Ecologist founder Edward Goldsmith dies at age 81

Fonte: The Ecologist

26th August, 2009

Edward Goldsmith, the founder of the Ecologist and one of the world's foremost green thinkers, has died at the age of 81

Goldsmith ( known almost universally as Teddy) had been suffering from a long-term illness and died peacefully in his sleep on Friday 21st August. He is survived by his second wife, Katherine Goldsmith, and five children.

Teddy's long and eventful life saw him found the Ecologist in 1970 and edit it for twenty years, run as a People Party (later to become the Green Party) political candidate for Suffolk in the general election of 1973, and publish a string of books (the most well known of which is A Blueprint for Survival ), written in collaboration with the first Ecologist editorial team and published in 1972 to great acclaim.

Teddy's signature legacy has been to promote the importance of systems ( and ecological thinking within the environmental movement, and to highlight the importance of learning from indigenous peoples and tribal societies ) ideas that were considered highly heretical when he mooted them in 1970s.

His later books, including what some consider to be his magnum opus, The Way: an Ecological Worldview, attempted to fuse anthropology, religion and science to develop a hybrid understanding of man's relationship to the natural world.

Teddy's nephew and director of the Ecologist, Zac Goldsmith said:
Teddy was a huge figure for me personally, and a key figure historically. A pioneer of the green movement, he was responsible perhaps more than anyone else for waking us up from our collective slumber. He was determined, brave, utterly inspiring, stubborn and more often than not, he was right.

Colin Hines, a contemporary of Teddy and a pioneer of the localisation movement, said:
My abiding memory of Teddy was of his good nature (most of the time!), his wonderful storytelling and the fact that he was innately a ‘gentleman’ in all the best senses of that word - a word of another era - as in a way was he.

Mark Anslow, editor of the Ecologist, said:
We live and breathe Teddy's legacy every day. His rigorous thought processes and endlessly interrogative approach to environmental issues help guide the Ecologist's editorial process: never taking developments at face value, and always asking the bigger, wider questions. He will be fondly remembered, and sorely missed.

Bus Cyclistes ou "Autocarros" Ciclistas

Bus Cyclistes®

A complexidade de redes disponíveis para ciclistas nas principais metrópoles francesas (consultar itinerários): Toulouse, Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux e Grenoble fez nascer e crescer esta ideia prática, divertida e cívica da criação de Bus ciclista, ie, há um ciclista que conduz o trânsito de vários ciclistas, que podem depois entrar/sair nas paragens para esse efeito.

Animais urbanos - partilhando connosco a mesma floresta metropolitana

Coyotes, black bears and peregrine falcons have been known to set up shop in cities. Bears love dumpster diving, and it sometimes takes as much as rubber bullets and pepper spray to shoo them for good. Coyotes are clever and adaptable and, like raccoons, can often be found lazily patrolling cities and suburbs. Falcons have been found roosting in the skyscrapers of New York, and have been known to scare pedestrians while swooping to catch prey at speeds of up to 200 miles per hour.
