This is a modest hommage to the courageous people of Fukushima prefecture. They survived a triple disaster in 2011 and are now, nine years later, still fighting with the consequences. I wish them well in their strugle for their beautiful province and thank them for their kindness during this trip.
Fukushima is the third largest prefecture in Japan (14,000 km²), and one of its least densely populated. The prefecture is divided into three main regions: Aizu in the west, Naka dori in the centre and Hama dori in the east. Aizu is mountainous with snowy winters, while the climate in Hama dori is moderated by the Pacific Ocean.
The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster (福島第一原子力発電所事故 Fukushima Dai-ichi (About this soundpronunciation) genshiryoku hatsudensho jiko) was a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant in Ōkuma, Fukushima Prefecture. The disaster was the most severe nuclear accident since the 26 April 1986 Chernobyl disaster and the only other disaster to be given the Level 7 event classification of the International Nuclear Event Scale.
The accident was started by the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011.] On detecting the earthquake, the active reactors automatically shut down their fission reactions. Because of the reactor trips and other grid problems, the electricity supply failed, and the reactors' emergency diesel generators automatically started. Critically, they were powering the pumps that circulated coolant through the reactors' cores to remove decay heat, which continues after fission has ceased. The earthquake generated a 14-meter-high tsunami that swept over the plant's seawall and flooded the plant's lower grounds around the Units 1–4 reactor buildings with sea water, filling the basements and knocking out the emergency generators. The resultant loss-of-coolant accidents led to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions, and the release of radioactive contamination in Units 1, 2 and 3 between 12 and 15 March. The spent fuel pool of previously shut-down Reactor 4 increased in temperature on 15 March due to decay heat from newly added spent fuel rods, but did not boil down sufficiently to expose the fuel.
In the days after the accident, radiation released to the atmosphere forced the government to declare an ever larger evacuation zone around the plant, culminating in an evacuation zone with a 20-kilometer radius. All told, some 154,000 residents evacuated from the communities surrounding the plant due to the rising off-site levels of ambient ionizing radiation caused by airborne radioactive contamination from the damaged reactors.
Large amounts of water contaminated with radioactive isotopes were released into the Pacific Ocean during and after the disaster. Michio Aoyama, a professor of radioisotope geoscience at the Institute of Environmental Radioactivity, has estimated that 18,000 terabecquerel (TBq) of radioactive caesium 137 were released into the Pacific during the accident, and in 2013, 30 gigabecquerel (GBq) of caesium 137 were still flowing into the ocean every day. The plant's operator has since built new walls along the coast and also created a 1.5-kilometer-long "ice wall" of frozen earth to stop the flow of contaminated water.
While there has been ongoing controversy over the health effects of the disaster, a 2014 report by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR) and World Health Organization projected no increase in miscarriages, stillbirths or physical and mental disorders in babies born after the accident. An ongoing intensive cleanup program to both decontaminate affected areas and decommission the plant will take 30 to 40 years, plant management estimate.
On 5 July 2012, the National Diet of Japan Fukushima Nuclear Accident Independent Investigation Commission (NAIIC) found that the causes of the accident had been foreseeable, and that the plant operator, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO), had failed to meet basic safety requirements such as risk assessment, preparing for containing collateral damage, and developing evacuation plans. At a meeting in Vienna three months after the disaster, the International Atomic Energy Agency faulted lax oversight by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, saying the ministry faced an inherent conflict of interest as the government agency in charge of both regulating and promoting the nuclear power industry. On 12 October 2012, TEPCO admitted for the first time that it had failed to take necessary measures for fear of inviting lawsuits or protests against its nuclear plants.
The quadruplet 'Sisters of Destruction' are immortal nymphs who fed on human flesh, namely young men. They would seduce, kill and then consume weary travelers. For their acts they were in time punished by the powers that be and sentenced to control each of the four seasons for eternity. Their anger towards their punishers and their sentence explains the sometimes unpredictable weather patterns and natural disasters we see today.

rue Porta lightning struck. The ball of light you can see in the middle is actuallyproduced by a damaged electric wire. Thunder fell on the wire.Then an electric arc came out of the damaged wire and started burning the facade of the house. Firemen came but could not act before EDF(French Electricity Company) agents appeared and cut down the power from the transformer. Of course it was raining...
La rue Porta foudroyée. Le cercle de lumière que vous pouvez observer au centre de la photo provient d'un cable électrique endommagé. La foudre est tombée sur le cable et ce dernier s'est enflammé. Un arc éléctrique s'est formé et a commencé a bruler la façade. Les pompiers sont venus mais n'ont rien pu faire tant qu'EDF n'était pas sur place pour couper l'électricité au transformateur. Bien sûr il pleuvait...

The debate over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) should focus on one goal: don’t harm people. But repealing the ACA without a replacement has consequences that will hurt people across the U.S., as we describe in our new report, "GOP's Waterloo? 10 Consequences of Repealing the ACA" available here: bit.ly/2j0m92J
...perchè mi fa piangere, mi fa ricordare odori e persone, perchè l'ho messa in decine di compilation, perchè a Torino non l'hanno fatta (ihihih!), perchè c'è chi capisce, perchè si può non pensare, perchè sono una "pappamollacuoredipanna", perchè non l'ho mai dedicata, perchè oh, è bella.
You're the colour,
you're the movement
and the spin.
Never
could it stay with me

Fail with consequence,
lose with elequence
and smile.
I'm not in this movie,
I'm not in this song.
Never
leave me paralyzed, love.
Leave me hypnotized, love.

"Consequences by NOOR" is a unique visual project to be launched during the Climate Summit in Copenhagen in mid December, 2009, when the world's attentions is drawn to the event hosting thousands of international delegates, scientists, journalists and activists.
The project shows the humanitarian consequences of climate changes; not calculated future events but actual facts that have devastating effects on the lives of millions of people around the world today: floods, drought, hunger, disease, animal extinction, conflicts, migrations and loss of human rights.
The GOOD brand team led by Doris Yee designed the logo that will lead the branding effort for the global project.

Subprime borrowers endured more painful consequences, but all borrower classes participated in the housing bubble debt orgy.
Yesterday I noted that most former subprime borrowers are no longer homeowners, but despite enduring most of the negative consequences, it wasn’t subprime... at Prime mortgage borrowers inflated the housing bubble
