“At around 2020, the condition of the planet becomes highly critical. If we do nothing about it, the quality of life goes down to zero. Pollution becomes so seriously it will start to kill people, which in turn will cause the population to diminish, lower than it was in the 1900. At this stage, around 2040 to 2050, civilized life as we know it on this planet will cease to exist.”read
2020
In fact, 2020 is the first milestone envisioned by World One. That’s when the quality of life is supposed to drop dramatically. The broadcaster presented this scenario that will lead to the demise of large numbers of people:
Evolution of the cracks in the Pine Island Glacier
"Long-term measurements of West Antarctic Ice Sheet glaciers such as Pine Island are critical to understanding changes to the rate of loss of ice mass into the ocean, and thus Copernicus Sentinel-1 has become fundamental to gauging Antarctica's contribution to rising sea levels," says Mark Drinkwater.

Varda by Agnès | Trailer | NYFF57
Q&As with Rosalie Varda on Oct. 9 & 10
When Agnès Varda died earlier this year at age 90, the world lost one of its most inspirational cinematic radicals. From her neorealist-tinged 1954 feature debut La Pointe Courte to her New Wave treasures Cléo from 5 to 7 and Le Bonheur to her inquiries into those on society’s outskirts like Vagabond (NYFF23), The Gleaners and I (NYFF38), and the 2017 Oscar nominee Faces Places (NYFF55), she made enduring films that were both forthrightly political and gratifyingly mercurial, and which toggled between fiction and documentary decades before it was more commonplace in art cinema. In what would be her final work, partially constructed of onstage interviews and lectures, interspersed with a wealth of clips and archival footage, Varda guides us through her career, from her movies to her remarkable still photography to the delightful and creative installation work. It’s a fitting farewell to a filmmaker, told in her own words. A Janus Films release.

BLOW THE WHISTLE #Panama Papers
Homo sapiens have a substance abuse problem, and the substance is corruption,” Steven Soderbergh told an audience in D.C. last week. He was speaking after the latest screening of The Laundromat, a Hollywood film inspired by the Panama Papers.
The Q&A was aptly timed, as Democrats in the United States had just announced they would start impeachment proceedings related to President Donald Trump. Jake Bernstein, whose book Secrecy World provided the foundation for the script, said it would all be impossible without whistleblowers. “Whistleblowers can face real, serious repercussions, as can journalists and other people trying to bring this stuff to light,” he said. read more

Recent examples of our work include the Paradise Papers and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Panama Papers, which investigated the shadowy offshore industry. These investigations have generated powerful long-lasting impact. For a behind-the-scenes look at how such a large investigation works watch this HBO/Vice documentary on the Paradise Papers.
Hawk crashes through bedroom

A hawk crashed through a woman's bedroom window Friday in Newton, Massachusetts, leaving a gaping hole in the glass before flying around and trashing a home office and leaving droppings on the floor. The incident, a portion of which was captured on cellphone video, left the woman's house looking like it had been ransacked by burglars. Janis Mann said she was in her kitchen about 5:30 p.m. when she heard a racket coming from an upstairs bedroom. "I heard a shower of glass falling nonstop, and I thought, 'Uh oh, I don't know what that is,'" she said. "It can't be a vase falling once. It's a shower. It kept going."
Super Volcano Valles Caldera and Jemez Pueblos lawsuit
The Valles caldera-forming eruption occurred approximately 1.25 million years ago when huge volumes of Bandelier tuff were explosively evacuated from a underground magma storage region. As a result of the "supereruption," the ground subsided along a network of nearly circular faults, called a ring fracture, leaving the caldera, a 20 x 23 km (12 x 14 mi) depression. Resurgent doming of the central caldera floor occurred between 1.25 and 1.22 million years ago, which was immediately followed by additional dome eruptions around the caldera margins up until about 40,000 years ago.

Here is the opinion:
An excerpt:
THIS MATTER comes before the Court on the bench trial held on October 29-November 20, 2018; November 29-November 30, 2018; December 3, 2018; December 5, 2018; and December 13, 2018. The primary issue is whether Plaintiff Pueblo of Jemez has the exclusive right to use, occupy, and possess the lands of the Valles Caldera National Preserve (“Valles Caldera”) pursuant to its allegedly unextinguished and continuing aboriginal title to those lands. The Court concludes that Jemez Pueblo has not established aboriginal title to the Valles Caldera. Although the evidence proves that Jemez Pueblo has actually and continuously used and occupied the Valles Caldera for a long time, the evidence also shows that many Pueblos and Tribes also used the Valles Caldera in ways that defeat Jemez Pueblo’s aboriginal title claim.

Valles Caldera (or Jemez Caldera), is a 12-mile-wide collapsed volcanic caldera in the Jemez Mountains of northern New Mexico. Within its caldera, Valle Grande is the largest valle (grass valley) and the only one with a paved road.
Valles Caldera is one of the smaller volcanoes in the supervolcano class.The circular topographic rim of the caldera measures 19 kilometers (12 miles) in diameter. The caldera and surrounding volcanic structures are the most thoroughly studied caldera complex in the United States.
Research studies have concerned the fundamental processes of magmatism, hydrothermal systems, and ore deposition.
Nearly 40 deep cores have been examined, resulting in extensive subsurface data. The Valles Caldera is the younger of two calderas known at this location, having collapsed over and buried the Toledo Caldera, which in turn may have collapsed over yet older calderas. The associated Cerros del Rio volcanic field, which forms the eastern Pajarito Plateau and the Caja del Rio, is older than the Toledo Caldera. These two large calderas formed during eruptions 1.47 million and 1.15 million years ago.[6]
The Caldera and surrounding area continue to be shaped by ongoing volcanic activity.more
