The secret behind the incredible ‘blood Nile’ picture that shows the river running red

ESA's Sentinel-3A was launched on Feb 16, part of Copernicus program

Image taken this month reveals vegetation along Nile River, shown in red 

Sentinel-3A will measures the oceans, land, ice, and atmosphere of Earth

The Nile River flows blood red in a new image released by the ESA, drawing comparisons to the biblical First Plague, in which the Egyptian waterway was turned to blood.

But, the image from Sentinel-3A shows something else entirely, combining radiometer and colour data to map the region's environmental features.

The colour indicates the presence of vegetation along the river as it cuts through the surrounding desert.

THE BIBLICAL PLAGUES 

In the Bible, Egypt is struck by 10 plagues in order to prevent the Hebrew people from leaving.

The first of these plagues turned all the waters of Egypt, including the Nile River, to blood, killing all of the fish and filling the land with an offensive smell.

The following plagues swarmed the land with frogs, bugs, and wild animals.

Then, a disease was sent to kill off the cattle, and the people and animals of Egypt were plagues with boils.

After this followed hail, locust, total darkness, and finally, the death of the first born.

Recorded on March 3, the image shows the Nile River and Delta, along with the desert of northeast Africa and part of the Middle East.

Egypt's capital city Cairo can be seen at the centre of the image, with the Red Sea to the east.

The satellite has also captured the islands of Cyprus to the north in the Mediterranean Sea, and parts of Crete on the left side of the picture.

As a part of its mission, Sentinel-3A will be measuring the oceans, land, ice, and atmosphere of Earth using sophisticated instruments to detect energy from the surface across nine spectral bands, including visible and infrared.

Researchers say the data collected by this satellite will help improve understanding on the state of vegetation around the world.

This will also provide insight on wildfires, land use, and water levels.

Whom to trust?

Luego de la crisis de 2008 detonada por la burbuja inmobiaria en los Estados Unidos, donde bancos comerciales bajo la sospechosa mirada pasiva del Gobierno permitieron otorgar créditos a personas no pasibles de deuda bajo la modalidad de créditos NINJA (No income no job). Todo para seguir alimentando el mercado de capitales especulativo que se nutria de los productos ofertados basados en el sector hipotecario estadounidense. Es decir se alimentaba el mounstruo para continuar la apreciación de sus activos en la bolsa de valores atrayendo más y más capitales inversores. El crimen perfecto.

El problema fue que los créditos llegaron a un punto de impago tal que se generó la desconfianza ante la negación absoluta de los bancos comerciales. Tardía sería la reacción cuando los mercados a pesar de los intentos de tapar una crisis desbordante por parte de las calificadoras de riesgo y los fondos de inversión, el pánico se empezo a apoderar de los bancos comerciales, problemas de liquidez, mora creciente y una imposibilidad de transformar todo ese mar inmobiliario en dinero en efectivo a tiempo.

El después de esta crisis queda fielmente retratado en la pelicula 99 homes, claro esta desde un enfoque fresco, las empresas inmobiliarias que tuvieron que “limpiar el desastre” generado por los bancos y el propio gobierno. Desalojar familias para rapidamente reacondicionarlas y poder colocarlas en el mercado para su venta. Un trabajo de todos los días donde familias integras decian adios a sus propiedades por una mala jugada del banco y por su credulidad ciega al “asesoramiento” recibido para acceder al crédito en primer lugar.

Mr. Carver (Michael Shannon) un hombre frio y despiadado para los negocios, desarrolla una relación antinatural con Nash (Andrew Garfield) recientemente desalojado de la casa de sus padres, refugiado en un motel buscando una alternativa para recuperar lo perdido. El frío razonamiento con el que Mr. Carver señala las faltas que llevaron a Nash a perder su casa  ponen en evidencia al verdadero causante de la crisis, los bancos comerciales y el Gobierno que luego de la crisis se mantuvieron en el negocio a pesar de haber arruinado muchas vidas en el camino.

“Felicidades acabas de joder al Gobierno de los Estados Unidos” - Mr Carver al haber cumplido con el acondicionamiento de una casa a partir de elementos robados de otras casas, embargadas sin dueño en manos del Gobierno hasta que los juicios entre las familias y bancos concluyan.

La idea de robar era bastante ambigua cuando Mr. Carver recuerda a Dennis Nash que el disfruto de un dinero que nunca devolvió, el banco lo demando por el dinero y el perdió su casa. Esto solo parece los justo, te preocupa lo que piense el Gobierno, vamos no les importo dejarte a ti y tu familia en la curva con todas sus pertenencias.

Lo crudo y sincero de los monologos de Rick (Mr. Carver) nos permiten entender que las bienes raices, los bancos comerciales y el Gobierno, son los tiburones que esperan que una gota de sangre de los ciudadanos caiga en el agua para hacer su trabajo, ningún sentimentalismo, solo negocios. 

Esto no es un cuento de hadas donde el banco se preocupa por ti, o el gobierno te dice la verdad y te da la mano cuando más lo necesitas. Despierta tu tomaste la decisión y elegiste a tus vérdugos, es momento que tomes responsabilidad de tus actos y te quites esa venda de los ojos.

¿Para quién trabajan los bancos? ¿Para quién trabajan los Gobiernos? ¿Estas seguro que eres tan importante para que ellos se preocupen por ti?

99 Homes (2014) 🎬 #DiaNovoFilmeNovo: 030 de 365 Mais um filme que vale o investimento de tempo por causa dos atores e enredo.  A premissa é “básica”, mostra uma família americana que está prestes a perder a casa para o banco por falta de pagamento e o drama do filho mais velho fazendo de tudo para resolver a situação. Se isso parece sem graça, a graça logo aparece quando o filme foge do clichê “homem vs sistema” e segue o rumo “homem vende a alma para o diabo” (metaforicamente).  Andrew Garfield faz o papel do filho mais velho e Michael Shannon do diabo. Ambos muito bem, e já era de esperar, mas o Shannon é sacanagem. Cada cena com ele é um espetáculo à parte. Cenas muitas vezes sobre coisas do cotidiano, que poderiam ser sem graça em outros filmes, mas aqui o roteiro e a edição conseguem manter a tensão e a nossa atenção o tempo todo. A edição exagera na velocidade em alguns momentos onde as maquinações do mercado imobiliário são expostas rapidamente, dificultando o entendimento. Como o foco é o drama do protagonista, não chega a atrapalhar o filme como um todo. Se o foco é nos personagens e as atuações são excelentes, então fica fácil recomendar o filme. Mas lembre que é sobre residências, hipotecas e fraudes. O diabo não aparece, não literalmente. #Filme         : 99 Homes (2014) Gênero        : #Drama #IMDB         : 7.1 #Metascore : 76 Raça score: Massa Onde Ver    : #Netflix #99homes #99casas #michaelshannon #andrewgarfield #lauradern #raminbahrani #BobbyBukowski #dicadefilme #cinema #everyframeapainting #streaming #cinematography #metacritic https://www.instagram.com/p/CKsRT8gLqPr/?igshid=1x1b1suuro1pu

Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul DUMPS his semiconductor shares following outrage as former Dallas Federal Reserve President say couple has been trading based off 'inside information'

The framework would force members of Congress, their spouses and senior staff to place assets in either a qualified blind trust or completely sell them off

Lawmakers, spouses and staff would still be able to hold mutual funds

Leadership's goal is to get the legislation through the House in September

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul purchased over $1 million in shares of semiconductor firm Nvidia ahead of a vote on the CHIPS bill

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul dumped his stock in semiconductor firm Nvidia amid backlash just before the Senate passed the CHIPS bill to drum up domestic semiconductor chip production, according to a periodic report released Tuesday.

On June 17 Paul Pelosi exercised call options to buy 20,000 shares worth between $1 million and $5 million, ahead of the vote on the CHIPS plus bill which would inject $52 billion into the semiconductor market. The move drew bipartisan backlash and renewed calls for a congressional stock ban.

But on Tuesday, the day before the Senate passed the CHIPS bill, Paul Pelosi sold 25,000 shares of Nvidia at an average price of $165.05 with a total loss of $341,365, according to a periodic transaction report released Tuesday.

Pelosi spokesperson Drew Hammill said in a statement: 'Mr. Pelosi bought options to buy stock in this company more than a year ago and exercised them on June 17, 2022.'

'As always, he does not discuss these matters with the Speaker until trades have been made and required disclosures must be prepared and filed. Mr. Pelosi decided to sell the shares at a loss rather than allow the misinformation in the press regarding this trade to continue,' he added.

The Senate passed the CHIPS bill Wednesday and the House is expected to pass it on Thursday.  

Former Dallas Federal Reserve President Richard Fisher said Thursday on CNBC  Speaker Nancy Pelosi  and her husband 'appear' to have taken advantage of insider information with Paul's many lucrative stock trades.

Responding to news that Democrats would soon release the framework for a long-awaited stock pan proposal, Fisher said on CNBC's Squawk Box: 'Clearly people have taken advantage of insider information forever. I'm not against their tapping that down. I'm sorry to see that Paul Pelosi, Nancy Pelosi and others appear - all appearance right now we don't know the facts - to have taken advantage of insider information.'

The stock ban framework would force members of Congress, their spouses and senior staff to place assets in either a qualified blind trust or completely sell them off. Lawmakers, spouses and staff would still be able to hold mutual funds.

Leadership's goal is to get the legislation through the House in September, according to Punchbowl News.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., who as head of the House Administration Committee has been tasked with reviewing the different proposals, told DailyMail.com on Friday the framework would be out 'in the coming weeks.'

Last week congressional stock purchases were again under fire after Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul purchased over $1 million in shares of semiconductor firm Nvidia as Congress was negotiating the a bill to inject billions into the semiconductor chip industry

'Has your husband ever made a stock purchase or sale based on information he's received from you?' a reported asked the speaker in her weekly briefing last week.

'No,' she scoffed. 'Absolutely not.' Pelosi then walked away from the podium.

The Pelosis are one of the wealthiest couples in Congress and Paul Pelosi has been dubbed one of the most prolific stock traders of all time. The speaker's office frequently notes that Nancy herself does not own any stock.

For months there has been broad bipartisan consensus behind banning individual stock trades for members and their spouses. Lawmakers in both parties have put forth a slew of bills since Pelosi first expressed a cool openness to such a ban in February, not one of which has made it to the floor.  

Last Wednesday Sen. Josh Hawley wrote a letter asking Democrats to hold a hearing on banning stock trading.

'This issue of whether and how Members of Congress engage in various financial transactions deserves scrutiny by the Committee,' Hawley wrote to Sen. Gary Peters, chair of the Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.

'In 2020 Speaker Pelosi and her husband outperformed the S&P 500 by a whopping 14.3 percent,' Hawley said. Ninety percent of actively managed investment funds fail to beat the market, according to a report.

After initial resistance, Pelosi changed tune in February and said she would get behind a stock ban if it was not just aimed at Congress but all of government.

'It has to be government-wide,' the California Democrat told reporters. 'The judiciary has no reporting. The Supreme Court has no disclosure. It has no reporting of stock transactions, and it makes important decisions every day.'

'Has your husband ever made a stock purchase or sale based on information he's received from you?' a reported asked the speaker in her weekly briefing last week. 'No,' she scoffed. 'Absolutely not,' Pelosi said

It was not resounding support, but it was a change of tune from three months earlier when Pelosi was actively against cutting off her husband and the rest of Congress' stock trading power.

'We're a free market economy. '[Lawmakers] should be able to participate in that,' she said in December.  

Despite broad support, some Democrats lay blame at leadership for stopping such bills from even getting a vote.

'The people who control the calendar don't want to bring it to the floor,' said Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., a moderate who authored a bipartisan proposal to force members to put their assets in a blind trust.  'The people who control committees of jurisdiction don't want to bring it to the floor.'

Paul Pelosi, owner of Financial Leasing Services, has amassed a personal fortune of around $135 million.

In 2021, the House Speaker is ranked as the 14th wealthiest member of Congress with an estimated net worth of at least $46,123,051, according to Insider.

Paul Pelosi's lucrative stock trades have prompted social investing app Iris allows users to track the couple's trades and be notified every time Paul makes a purchase so that they can do the same.

And popular Twitter account @NancyTracker, which tracked Pelosi's investments, was banned from the social media network.

The 2012 STOCK Act bans members of Congress from using 'any nonpublic information derived from the individual's position ... or gained from performance of the individual's duties, for personal benefit.'
