Volvox belong to the green algae. Each mature Volvox colony is composed of up to thousands of cells from two differentiated cell types: numerous flagellate somatic cells and a smaller number of germ cells lacking in soma that are embedded in the surface of a hollow sphere made of glycoproteins. Adult somatic cells comprise a single layer with the flagella facing outward. The cells swim in a coordinated fashion, with distinct anterior and posterior poles. The cells have anterior eyespots that enable the colony to swim towards light (Source: Wikipedia).

Radiolarians are unicellulars of diameter 0.1–0.2 mm that produce intricate mineral skeletons, typically with a central capsule dividing the cell into the inner and outer portions of endoplasm and ectoplasm.The elaborate mineral skeleton is usually made of silica. They are found as zooplankton throughout the ocean, and their skeletal remains make up a large part of the cover of the ocean floor as siliceous ooze. Due to their rapid turn-over of species, they represent an important diagnostic fossil found from the Cambrian onwards. (Source: Wikipedia)

Un prix qui ne fait pas l’unanimité à Bruxelles. Le 17 mars dernier, au Mipim, le salon international de l’immobilier de Cannes, les architectes du nouveau siège de BNP Paribas Fortis, entre les rues Montagne du Parc, Ravenstein et Baron Horta, recevaient le prix du meilleur centre d’affaires.
Prestigieuse récompense pour les bureaux Baumschlager Eberle Architekten, Styfhals et Jaspers-Eyers Architects qui ont imaginé un immeuble de 103.000 mètres carrés (12 niveaux dont cinq en sous-sol) lumineux et durable avec sa toiture verte, son système de stockage d’énergie et ses panneaux photovoltaïques. Un bâtiment exemplaire.
"Nous n’avons plus besoin d’énergie fossile. Nos besoins énergétiques sont maintenant sept fois moins élevés que dans notre siège précédent, qui avait pourtant la même superficie", expliquait Max Jadot, CEO de BNP Paribas Fortis, lors de l’inauguration officielle du siège le 4 février dernier. "L’espace invite à venir travailler à Bruxelles."
Un bâtiment à la pointe, primé lors de la grand-messe de l’immobilier. Mais une insulte pour les amoureux du patrimoine. Certains n’hésitent pas à parler de "bruxellisation", cette folie urbanistique des années 60 et 70 qui conduisit à la destruction de pans entiers de constructions remarquables comme la Maison du Peuple ou l’autel Aubecq de Victor Horta. Le courroux cible aujourd’hui le siège aux lamelles blanches du quartier de la gare Centrale, qui font penser à un radiateur géant. Trop massif, trop moderne, trop en décalage…
Tout a commencé, bien avant la remise du prix cannois. Henri Simons, ancien échevin de l’Urbanisme de la Ville de Bruxelles de 1995 à 2006, dit dans un post Facebook tout le mal qu’il pense du nouveau QG du bancassureur.
"Échec architectural. Techniques affreuses sur le toit. Écrasement du Palais des Beaux-Arts", écrit l’ancien Ecolo devenu PS, suivi d’un émoji dépité. Une photo accompagne le commentaire, avec en avant-plan Bozar, conception tardive et Art déco de Victor Horta, écrasé visuellement par le siège de Fortis.
A price that is not unanimous in Brussels. On March 17, at Mipim, the international real estate fair in Cannes, the architects of the new headquarters of BNP Paribas Fortis, between rue Montagne du Parc, rue Ravenstein and rue Baron Horta, received the award for best business center.
Prestigious award for the offices Baumschlager Eberle Architekten, Styfhals and Jaspers-Eyers Architects who imagined a building of 103,000 square meters (12 levels including five underground) bright and sustainable with its green roof, its energy storage system and its photovoltaic panels. An exemplary building.
"We no longer need fossil energy. Our energy needs are now seven times lower than in our previous headquarters, which nevertheless had the same surface area", explained Max Jadot, CEO of BNP Paribas Fortis, during the inauguration. official headquarters on February 4. "The space invites people to come and work in Brussels."
A state-of-the-art building, awarded at the high mass of real estate. But an insult for heritage lovers. Some do not hesitate to speak of "brussellization", this urban madness of the 60s and 70s which led to the destruction of entire sections of remarkable constructions such as the Maison du Peuple or the Aubecq altar by Victor Horta. Wrath now targets the white slatted seat in the Central Station area, which resembles a giant radiator. Too massive, too modern, too out of step...
It all started long before the Cannes prize was awarded. Henri Simons, former Alderman of Town Planning for the City of Brussels from 1995 to 2006, says in a Facebook post all the bad things he thinks of the new HQ of the bank-insurer.
"Architectural failure. Horrible techniques on the roof. Crush of the Palais des Beaux-Arts", writes the former Ecolo who has become a PS, followed by a disappointed emoji. A photo accompanies the commentary, with in the foreground Bozar, late design and Art Deco by Victor Horta, visually overwhelmed by the headquarters of Fortis.

A rare picture to see Thomas aggresive. The reason was the trial to get some fossile Nummolite* out of the rock (I finally succeeded :-)!). The picture was taken 2001 by Fabian Romen on Crete.
* A nummulite is a large lenticular fossil, characterized by its numerous coils, subdivided by septa into chambers. They are the shells of the fossil and present-day marine protozoan Nummulites, a type of foraminiferan. Nummulites reaches 6 cm in diameter, and are common in Tertiary marine rocks, particularly around the Mediterranean (e.g. Crete). They are valuable as index fossils.
The name "Nummulites" is a diminutive form of the Latin nummulus meaning "little coin", a reference to their shape.
Mecoptera >Panorpidae:
Panorpa cognata - dint. Firenze
comunemente detta mosca-scorpione in quanto il maschio reca sulla parte terminale dell'addome un pungiglione simile a quello degli scorpioni. Lo scopo di questa arma è di tenere lontana la femmina dopo l'accoppiamento in quanto essa ha la tendenza ad aggredire e divorare il maschio proprio come fanno le mantidi religiose.
Ci tengo a sottolineare che è assolutamente innocua per l'uomo.
Si tratta di un "insetto fossile" in quanto sono stati rinvenuti esemplari asolutamente identici risalenti al Permiano.
##############
Commonly called scorpion-fly as the male has a sting similar to that of scorpions on the terminal part of the abdomen. The purpose of this weapon is to keep the female away after mating as she has a tendency to attack and devour the male just like praying mantises do.
I want to emphasize that she is absolutely harmless to humans.
It is a "fossil insect" as absolutely identical specimens have been found dating back to the Permian.

Not all rivers go to the sea...
Le Dead Vlei (vallée morte) est ce qu'il reste d'un bras de la rivière Tsauchab, avant que les dunes de sable rouge ne le coupe de toute alimentation en eau à la saison des pluies.
Les arbres qui vivaient dans cet endroit sont morts de soif. Le fond de la rivière est une terre glaise bien blanche, et forme une cuvette desséchée, entourée des hautes dunes. Seule, la rosée du matin permet aux animaux et à la végétation la plus robuste de résister.

Dead Vlei was once upon a time a river flowing during the rainy season. The red sandy dunes have closed the way, drying this Vlei.
Trees have died of thirst. The bottom of this place is made of white dry clay, and what's left in this pan are the dead body of the trees. Only some animals and some plants can resist, living on the morning dew.

Ginkgo biloba L. è un fossile vivente ed unica specie ancora sopravvissuta della famiglia Ginkgoaceae ma anche dell'intero ordine Ginkgoales (Engler 1898) e della divisione delle Ginkgophyta.
Appartiene alle Gimnosperme: i semi non sono protetti dall'ovario. Le strutture a forma di albicocca che sono prodotte dagli esemplari femminili non sono frutti. Sono semi ricoperti da un involucro carnoso. È un albero antichissimo le cui origini risalgono a 250 milioni di anni fa nel permiano.[1]
La pianta, originaria della Cina, viene chiamata volgarmente ginko o ginco o albero di capelvenere. Il nome Ginkgo, deriva probabilmente da un'erronea trascrizione del botanico tedesco Engelbert Kaempfer del nome giapponese ginkyō (ぎんきょう) derivante a sua volta da quello cinese 銀杏 "yin-kuo" (銀 yin «argento» e 杏 xìng «albicocca»; 銀杏 yinxìng «albicocca d'argento»). Questo nome è stato attribuito alla specie dal famoso botanico Carlo Linneo nel 1771 all'atto della sua prima pubblicazione botanica ove mantenne quell'erronea trascrizione del nome originale. Il nome della specie (biloba) deriva invece dal latino bis e lobus con riferimento alla divisione in due lobi delle foglie, a forma di ventaglio.
