Wow, gotta love innovative aquaculture, smart way of using Biology to achieve your objectives. Nature's sensory systems are amazing. Most of us may not have no clue how sensitive Nature really is and how it operates...

Interesting, just a quick look at the Abstract…looking forward read the rest. Price tag is estimated for the rainfall generation by the Amazon forest. Well, It’s a start, putting value on the biotic pump. A little low-ballish figure imho

Not liking Arda‘s positioning near opponents box. 10-20 runs per game(!) into the box(!) that nobody(!) pays attention to. His position should always seek to get into that area 5-15 yards in front of the right side of the opponent box, ready to pass or strike a shot on goal with his left foot…

Yeah, the galacticos have been all but the last couple of weeks. I‘m a big Arda Güler fan and think esp. Cavaminga has not been paying attention to Arda’s movements and also to the fact that Arda is the one that finds the Laser sharp decisive passes and he is the defensive midfielder with the #6

La Niña is Dissolving Rapidly, Marking the Start of a Major Atmospheric and Oceanic Shift for 2026 La Niña is now starting to dissolve, signaling a major weather shift for the United States and Canada from Summer into Winter 2026/2027

Atmospheric whiplash sets in as La Niña collapses ahead of schedule. A disrupted Polar Vortex promises a volatile spring for the U.S. and Europe before El Niño takes the wheel this summer. The payoff? A total pattern flip for late 2026: expect a wetter South and a milder North.

Cloud streets over the Gulf of Mexico! Not something you see every day. This is caused by cold air blowing over much warmer water, generating clouds and in some cases precipitation. Tampa, Florida may get a few snow flurries tonight. Lake effect snow is generated by this same process.
