With increased globalization and a smaller world, money flows more easily and the flows have increased. Where aid once represented a majority of the funds from high income countries to developing countries, this has now been surpassed by investments and worker’s remittances, and these flows show no sign of slowing down – maybe pausing for an occasional downturn in the global economy. The question is when this will start show as a significant decrease in poverty.

ENVIRONMENT-NEPAL: Slowly, Vulture Numbers Picking Up
KATHMANDU, Jan 22, 2010 (IPS) - Dhan Bahadur Chaudhary, an ornithologist, grew up with vultures in his native Nawalparasi in western Nepal. He and his neighbours were used to seeing vultures flying overhead, feeding on the carcasses, and sunbathing near the rivers.

After Riteish Deshmukh and Abhishek Bachchan, Sonakshi Sinha also chose to offer the ALS Ice Container Difficulty a try. She did it with a surprising new twist we can never have actually thought.

"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.

This image shows a small collection of paper currency and coins, placed in a wooden environment, likely a shelf or storage area. Here's a detailed breakdown of the elements:
1. **Paper Currency**:
- The image prominently features a stack of paper money tucked into the side of a wooden surface. The visible note shows **20 SEK (Swedish Krona)**, with the recognizable portrait of Selma Lagerlöf, a famous Swedish author. The bill is purple, which is typical for the 20 SEK denomination.
- Several more bills are stacked together, indicating a small collection of cash stored in this location.
2. **Coins**:
- A small white bowl holds several coins. These are likely a mix of Swedish Krona denominations, though the exact details of the coins are difficult to identify from this angle. The coins are silver and bronze, possibly representing smaller Swedish coin denominations (such as 1, 2, or 5 SEK coins).
3. **Background Objects**:
- Behind the bowl, there is a small porcelain container, possibly for decorative purposes or for storing small items. The object has a simple design, adding to the rustic or homey feel of the setting.
- The wooden background suggests this could be part of a personal cabinet, shelf, or storage nook, where someone has tucked away their spare change and bills.
4. **Overall Setting**:
- The scene feels informal and personal, as the money is casually placed rather than being stored in a wallet or more secure location. This gives the impression of someone keeping spare change or small amounts of money for daily use or emergencies.
- The overall environment has a warm and rustic feel, with wooden surfaces and simple decorative elements.
In summary, this image captures a small stash of cash (Swedish Krona) and coins, stored in a practical and personal setting. The combination of paper currency and coins, along with the wooden background and simple objects, suggests this might be part of a household area where small valuables or cash are kept for easy access.

I am absolutely delighted to let you know that my new album, 'ECOSYSTEMS' has just been published: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
It has been presented at the Club of Rome 50th Anniversary meeting, the United Nations COP24 conference on climate change, a large exhibition held at the Mathematical Institute of Oxford University and the Environment Europe Oxford Spring School in Ecological Economics and now at the United Nations World Urban Forum 2020. There are only 450 copies left so you will have to be quick: stanislav.photography/ecosystems
You are most welcome to explore my new website: stanislav.photography/ and a totally new blog: environmenteurope.wordpress.com/

The cards that children from Fund for Preservation of Wild Life and Cultural Assests made tell you 3 easy things how to protect the environment.
Since it is Lyme Disease Awareness Month, Loki would like to do his part in educating on the challenges of treating Lyme disease.
Borrelia Burgdorferi (Bb), the pathogen that causes Lyme disease, is both horrifying and fascinating in that it is designed to survive multiple environments and assaults.
There are three forms of Bb. The first is the Spirochete, which you see here in front of Loki’s paws. The spirochete is spiral shape, able to drill through tissues. Bb does not prefer oxygen rich environments, like the blood, so the spirochete will typically drill into tissues in the body, such in the joints, muscles, organs and brain. When its environment becomes stressful, the spirochetes roll up into a ball, changing to a cyst form, its second form. In this state, they can reproduce at a very slow rate. When confronted with other stresses, the spirochete changes to its third form, an L-form. In the L-form, the Borrelia does not have a cell wall and can hide from the host’s immune system and some antibiotics (which work by breaking down the cell wall). Once the environment is favorable, Bb turns back into spirochete form.
In addition to these three forms that help Bb evade attacks, Bb creates a biofilm environment, a polysaccharide-based environment that protects it from antibiotics and the body’s immune system. The biofilm is also known to host a variety of other tick borne pathogens as well, helping them survive under the radar of the immune system.
So Lyme disease basically has the Trifecta on surviving:
1. The three forms to evade the immune system and antibiotics
2. The biofilm to evade antibiotics and the immune system
3. It doesn’t hang out in the blood, making antibody tests unreliable & causing the patient to go undiagnosed for months and years.
The good news is that @ILADS_lyme doctors are on the job and have been successful in helping patients recover from Lyme disease and its co-infections.
Although pyrethrum is a natural insecticide, the other active contituent in this insect killer is piperonyl butoxide (PBO) which is harmful to aquatic organisms and may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.

Employees supported a special Earth Month celebration with the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Around 100 volunteers supported this important environmental organisation through either gardening with the horticulture team, or lantern making for their award-winning winter lantern trails. The activities ended with a lunch and talk from Kew Director of Science, Alex Antonelli on biodiversity.
