In Norilsk, a fire occurred at the Baikal-2000 LLC solid industrial waste landfill. This was reported to RBC in the press service of the Russian Emergencies Ministry.
According to the agency, the fire area is 1 thousand square meters. m. He was assigned the rank of 1-BIS. “There are no threats to nearby buildings. 26 people and eight pieces of equipment were involved, ”the message states.
Environmentalists presented a photo of pollution of water bodies near Norilsk
At 13:01 (9:01 Moscow time) the fire was localized.
A TASS source in emergency services specified that the landfill is 5 km from the city, the wind carried the smoke of the fire away from the village. According to the agency, if the wind changes direction, they will use a laboratory to measure the MPC of harmful substances.
The brightest evening of the country’s graduates ended, which the guys were looking forward to this year. So, as always, the Scarlet Sails Festival 2020 became a beautiful chord of the All-Russian holiday. This year it was both traditional and completely unusual at the same time. We tell you what the Scarlet Sails 2020 surprised.
The main innovation of this year is the change of locationPhoto: Oleg GOLD
Well, firstly, the main innovation is the change of location. For several years in a row, a snow-white brig passes through the water area Not you along the Peter and Paul Fortress, the Hermitage and right under the Palace Bridge. This year, another, no less picturesque place was chosen, with very recognizable sights. Petersburg – stadium “Gazprom-Arena “, Lakhta-center and cable-stayed bridge ZSD.
Access to all locations was closed due to the difficult epidemic situation both in the city and throughout the country.Photo: Artem KILKIN
The second innovation: live Petersburgers and visitors could not see all this beauty. And all because this year there are special requirements: because of the pandemic, access to the park is closed, it was also impossible to see from the water, since part of the Neva and the Gulf of Finland were blocked. GIMS boats and various services went around the water area and made sure that no one violated the ban. Law enforcement officers were also on duty on land: if they met people in a territory where there should not be anyone, they politely asked to leave the place and go home.
Everyone was politely asked to leave the coast.Photo: Artem KILKIN
And at home, by the way, everyone would have considered it in the best possible way: there was a live broadcast of a concert and a pyrotechnic show on the Internet and on TV. By the way, on the screen you can see what on the shore would definitely not be accessible to the eye. And all because along the Neva and the Gulf of Finland there were several scenes at once and on each of them there was an action.
The main stage was next to the Gazprom Arena stadium, it was also very unusual – as if soaring in the air, and with it the stars acting on it. Leading the holiday were Ivan Urgant and Daria Александрова.

Timur Rodriguez, Vera performed their hits Brezhnev, RASA group, Dima Bilan and Surganova. And there were surprises in the form of a show of pirates and drummers, yes, it is worth noting separately what costumes the artists had – just space ones. Be sure to watch Bilan’s performance if you missed. And also a salute, well, the passage itself of a sailboat!
The cable-stayed bridge of the WHSD was both a platform for light and a launch site for fireworksPhoto: Oleg GOLD
By the way, the pyrotechnic show lasted almost half an hour, hundreds of volleys were launched into the sky, the first cable-stayed bridge of the WHSD was used. It was both a platform for light, and for launching a salute.
But the highlight, of course, was the passage of a snow-white brig with Scarlet Sails along the Gulf of FinlandPhoto: Oleg GOLD
And at the end of the extravaganza, the romantic Assol soared above the water to meet her dream. By the way, this year the holiday was dedicated to the author of the fairy tale about Scarlet Sails Alexander Green – marks 140 years since his birthday.
If you missed the broadcast live, there is an opportunity to watch the best moments of the show.

“A matter of life or death “. The egyptian president Al-Sisi did not mince words in front of the general assembly of the united Nations es in September last, referring to the challenge posed by the water of the Nile for the hundred millions of Egyptians.
It is that the country is found at the foot of the wall. Far from Cairo, and 3 500 kilometres more to the south, Ethiopia completes construction of its massive dam of the Renaissance (Gerd) on the blue Nile and intends, at all costs, take advantage of the current rainy season to start the water filling of the reservoir lake, from the month of July.
The future grand dam ethiopian concerned about Egypt
The tone goes up as the maturity date approaches. Frightened by the idea of experiencing a lower flow of the river, Egypt has asked the 19 June the intervention of the security council of the UN to keep its water resources. And it has mobilized the arab League, which meets on Tuesday 23 June.
“We don’t want escalation “
“We don’t want escalation. The negotiations are the only solution “, argued on Sunday, June 21, Yasser Abbas, the sudanese minister of irrigation, while its countries _ where the blue Nile joins the white Nile to form the Nil_ remained conciliatory in the negotiations. Las after the failure of the tripartite conferences, held with the mediation of Washington, dc, from October to January, yet another meeting of ministers in charge of water and irrigation in the three countries, which was held on 9 June, has once again failed to find an agreement on the speed of filling of the tank.
Nine years of disputes around the dam on the Nile
This impoundment of the dam will take several years. Ethiopia, which is heavily indebted to this mega project, wants it fast, in four years, in order to exploit at the earliest hydroelectric station. While Egypt claims that it is smoothed in the time, over twelve years, so that it impacts the least possible the flow of the river.
“Egypt is still dream in the leader of the arab world “
A solution of financial compensation that might be awarded by Egypt to Ethiopia to help it repay its loans, and to compensate for the shortfall in revenues to the decline in the sale of electricity, barely able to be sketched. In full arm-twisting policy, the litigation is enkyste between Egypt “that dream again into the leader of the arab world” and Ethiopia, now high of 110 million inhabitants, “who wants to appear as a power, and made the dam a ferment of national solidarity “, argues Marc Lavergne, géopolitologue specialist in the arab Middle East and the Horn of Africa.
For Egypt, the Nile and the land of the Pharaohs are one since the dawn of time. However, as wrote a few years ago the geographer specialist in water Habib Ayeb, “for a long time the only dominant power in the basin of the Nile, Egypt has gradually been reduced to the status of a single coastal State of the river “ (1). But the country remains arc-itself eliminated on its historical rights sealed in a succession of agreements since the Nineteenth century, which were unaware of the Ethiopia. Thus the treaty of sharing water of 1959 between Egypt and the Sudan, which refers to Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, gives the first of 55.5 billion cubic metres of water and the second 18.5 billion, on an average intake of the river’s annual estimated 84 billion cubic metres.
“We must not exaggerate this confrontation, there is no danger in delay “, considers, however, Marc Lavergne. According to him, Egypt should be able to withstand a drop in throughput if it were to adopt a more sustainable pattern of development. “The country is wasting the free water of the Nile, he continues to practice irrigation by submersion of the land, the soils are waterlogged moisture, he explains. The problem is that Egypt is faced with it-even in the face of its impotence to deal with its problems of environment, of justice and of demography “.
The Russian station wagon will “punish” any popular SUV on the road.
Not every motorist has the opportunity to purchase even the old Toyota Land Cruiser, which will cost dearly not only in price, but also in maintenance. But the Russians who do not want to buy a Japanese SUV should do the tuning of domestic cars, which, with a bit of skill, garage masters turn into a real all-terrain vehicle.
One of these machines can be considered an all-wheel drive “miracle” based on the GAZ-3110, a photograph of which appeared in the automotive community on the social network “VKontakte”. Such a “Volga” in the station wagon body will delight owners not only with outstanding all-terrain capabilities, but also with an attractive appearance – such a car is no worse than the Kruzakov.
The tuned Russian station wagon has acquired a camouflaged body, a plastic bumper with a strip of additional LED lights, a kangaroo, metal sills, all-terrain wheel disks, plastic windshield protection, an expeditionary roof rack and a home-made snorkel, thanks to which such a Volga will overcome difficult waters without severe damage. It is also worth suggesting that craftsmen took up the car interior, improving driving comfort in difficult sections of rough terrain, and in addition, the car was endowed with a strong suspension from UAZ.
All-wheel drive GAZ-3110 delighted network users. “Fierce equipment”, “Why they aren’t mass-produced”, “Dream”, “Fire”, “Bomb”, – community subscribers comment.
On the page of the doctor and TV presenter Alexander Myasnikov interesting information about the situation with infectious diseases in the world was published on the social network. And in particular that rotavirus infection causes hundreds of thousands of deaths per year in the world. Is the familiar and familiar rotavirus more dangerous than the coronavirus? “KP»Understands together with the immunologist, expert in public health and international health care, candidate of medical sciences Nikolay Kryuchkov.
– Of course, in addition to COVID-19, there are many other dangerous diseases in the world and these are not necessarily infectious diseases. Let me remind you that mortality from cardiovascular diseases is in the first place, also high mortality is associated with oncological diseases, in particular, lung cancer, and, of course, infectious diseases are also often the cause of death. However, the threat of rotavirus infection today is greatly exaggerated, said Nikolai Kryuchkov.
How many people die from rotavirus?
According to pessimistic estimates provided by the World Health Organization, around the world in 2013, 215 thousand children under the age of five died from rotavirus infection. According to other data obtained in international studies, this is 122 thousand deaths in 2013.
– The situation since 2013 in terms of mortality from rotavirus infection has not changed much. I think here we can talk about 200 thousand deaths per year among children under five years of age. Half of the world’s deaths occur in five countries: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Angola and Congo– emphasizes the immunologist Nikolai Kryuchkov. – In the media you can often find information that up to a third of deaths of children under five are caused by rotavirus. This is not true! The fact is that among all deaths of children under five years of age in the world, mortality from diarrhea accounts for about 8%, but among these 8% of deaths from diarrhea – from 25% to 30% are attributable to rotavirus. That is, it turns out about 200 thousand deaths of children under five years of age per year in the world, while more than 6 million children under five die in the world per year.

Is rotavirus disease relevant for Russia?
If you consider Europeyy region to which Russia, then the figures for mortality from diarrhea are lower than in developing countries. Mortality from diarrhea among children under five in Europe is 4% – 5% of all childhood deaths. About a quarter of them are rotavirus.
In Russia, according to WHO estimates, in 2013, 52 children under the age of five died from rotavirus infection, which is 0.3% of all other deaths of children under five years of age. Rotavirus infection is not the most common cause of death among children, and even more so among adults (the latter rarely die from rotavirus, so all statistics are data on the death of children – approx. Ed.).
– Rotavirus is a problem primarily in poor countries with a warm climate. For Russia, this is also a problem, but to a much lesser extent, ”said Nikolai Kryuchkov, a doctor. – It is important to emphasize that effective and safe rotavirus vaccines exist.
The incidence of rotavirus infection after the introduction of vaccination has decreased many times. In Russia, universal vaccination against rotavirus is not carried out, but, despite this, mortality is low, given that it is clear how to help such patients. The main thing here is replenishment of lost fluid and symptomatic therapy. Given these two factors — the availability of a vaccine and the development of affordable treatment — mortality from rotavirus is very low even among children from zero to five years old, not to mention adults. Among adults, these are isolated cases.
Who is worse: rotavirus or coronavirus?
According to epidemiologists, mortality (taking into account the number of deaths from the number of episodes of the disease) of rotavirus infection in the world is from 0.05% to 0.09%. This is comparable to mortality from seasonal flu. Yes, in the poorest countries it can reach up to 2%. However, in this case, only moderate to severe episodes are taken into account, and not all cases of rotavirus infection.
“With coronavirus infection, according to my most optimistic forecasts, the mortality rate in the world will be 2%,” says Nikolay Kryuchkov. – Let me remind you that now the mortality rate from COVID-19 in Russia is about 4%. AT Germany – 3.5%, and this is one of the best examples in Europe. Of course, a lot depends on how the data are kept and analyzed, but even though there are probably unaccounted cases, the mortality from coronavirus infection is much higher than the mortality from rotavirus. And the epidemic of coronavirus infection is still far from over.
“It is also important to understand that we are having a coronavirus pandemic, and the situation with rotavirus is under control.” The number of deaths from coronavirus is now growing, due to the fact that there is an increase in cases of infection. The daily increase in new cases of coronavirus infection in the world is more than 5%, and in Russia today it is more than 8%. Therefore, it is obvious that the situation with rotavirus is stable, and the coronavirus pandemic for us is not known how it will end. The coronavirus infection pandemic continues to grow, it is important to understand this, ”Nikolay Kryuchkov emphasized in a conversation with“ KP ”. – When we talk about the number of deaths from rotavirus, 200 thousand people a year around the world among children under five years of age are deaths that happened in a year! As we know, the coronavirus epidemic lasts about four months. This is significantly less than a year.

How many deaths from coronavirus infection will be in a year (given that, according to the data of May 3, 243,922 people died in the world – approx. Ed.)? Yes, there are other dangerous infections in the world, but many of them can be protected. This is Hepatitis B, and pneumococcal infection, tetanus, and so on. And Dr. Myasnikov rightly points out the need for widespread vaccination against the most dangerous and common infections. Unfortunately, there are no vaccines from COVID-19 yet, they will be ready by the spring of next year at best.
Also, an important difference between the course of rotavirus infection and coronavirus infection: hospitalization with rotavirus disease in developed countries is very rare. All necessary treatment conditions can be provided at home. With coronavirus, the patient often needs active therapy, which can only be provided in a specialized medical institution.
SPECIFICALLY
Dr. Myasnikov gives such statistics on mortality from infections (in the world for a year)
Measles (there is a vaccine) – 140 thousand deaths per year
Pneumococcus (there is a vaccine) – 2 -2.5 million deaths per year
Hepatitis B (there is a vaccine) – 650 thousand deaths per year
Tetanus (there is a vaccine) – 89 thousand deaths per year
Cervical cancer (there is a vaccine) – 250 thousand deaths per year
Tuberculosis (there is a vaccine) – 1.5 million deaths per year
Influenza (there is a vaccine) – 650 thousand-1 million deaths per year
Coronavirus (no vaccine) – 244 thousand deaths from the beginning of the spread

It is a popular place for tourists, who like to sail on the Mayenne and admire its bucolic shores. The Grez-Neuville canal, north of Angers (Maine-et-Loire), has been the subject of rather rare experimentation on this scale for two years: restoring its banks by preferring plants to stones. “We had observed their degradation during periods of low water, says Gwennaël Cordier, technician in aquatic environments in the department. To restore them, two options were available to us: resort to civil engineering, with masonry or riprap, or else to plant engineering, by focusing on the capacities of plants to fix and consolidate the banks. We chose the second. “
To select the best species to implant, the department relied on the expertise of the Fresne Agricultural High School, near Angers. “They had to resist the water, the waves caused by the boats, the erosion and the nutria which dig galleries, explains the technician. They also had to develop slowly and require little maintenance. “
Nature-based solutions
The choice fell on the plantation of earth sausages surrounded by coconut fibers, sown with helophyte plants such as irises or rushes. “They have the particularity of having their feet in the water and their heads in the sun”, describes André Evette, engineer and researcher at the National Research Institute for Agriculture, Food and the Environment (Inrae), which closely monitors plant engineering projects in France (1). “These nature-based solutions are not new and date back to Antiquity, he recalls. But we lost sight of them from the 1950s and the transition to all-concrete. It was the era of the Thirty Glorious Years, and we didn’t have the same way of seeing the world as today … “ In the 1970s and 1980s, Austria and Switzerland brought these techniques up to date, followed by Germany and the Netherlands. In France, they have reappeared for ten years.
“Their major advantage is to favor the ecological restoration of the banks, high places of biodiversity, explains the researcher. The plants filter the pollutants that arrive in the water, provide a welcome shade and recreate a whole habitat in the air as in the water: insects, dragonflies, crayfish, freshwater shrimps, fish … “ A virtuous circle, which saves money. “Not only is it better to work with living things, but it’s also cheaper, confirms Gwennaël Cordier. Our plant site costs around € 40,000, when a “hard” development can amount to millions of euros, taking into account the difficulties of access to the site for construction machinery. “ Finally, if its effectiveness is not as immediate as a concrete installation, over time, “Plant engineering is becoming stronger than civil engineering”, he continues.

Work on the Grez-Neuville canal was carried out in October 2018, testing two techniques. For the first 75 meters, a strip of local herb seeds has been planted above the helophyte sausages in geotextile. “It is a good alternative to the plastic sheet because it degrades naturally. “ Over the next 75 meters, a bed of willow plants has been added. The most effective technique will be reproduced on the 650 meters of remaining banks. A year and a half later, the first assessment is already positive: “The plants are well anchored to the ground and the willows have grown very well, greet the technician. But we must wait until spring 2021 to draw our conclusions. “
Only 5% of rivers in good ecological condition
In this department concentrating 7,000 kilometers of rivers, of which only 5% are in good ecological condition, the restoration of the banks and, ultimately, the recovery of the quality of the water prove to be crucial. “With plant engineering, we try to repair the mistakes of the past”, explains Marc Helbert, head of the water service in the department, which coordinates an Observatory of water quality in Anjou. “What weighs most on us is the fish index, he comments. It will replenish when they can circulate more freely in our waterways. But these actions will take time to produce their effects… ”
Especially since these techniques inspired by nature are not so simple to implement. “They require multidisciplinary skills and strong field experience, comments André Evette. It is not enough to follow technical rules like in civil engineering. Living things are impossible to model. How to predict that a beaver will eat the willow that has been planted? “ If plants can solve a multitude of problems – maintaining agricultural land in the face of erosion, preventing avalanches in the mountains, cleaning up soil, phyto-purification, wind or noise barrier – they cannot always be enough . “When you have a torrent near a school, you may not be going without concrete to secure the site, comments the researcher. In an urban environment, you don’t always have a choice. But mixed solutions are developing. “

Nor is it easy to convince of the economic profitability of these developments. The establishment of hedges or buffer zones not cultivated in agricultural zones, for example, requires educational work. “Obviously, the financial gain is not necessarily demonstrated for a productivist agricultural model”, recognizes André Evette.
Last merit of plant genius: embellishing the landscape. “In front of our work on the canal, we have a very busy towpath, notes Gwennaël Cordier. Walkers are delighted with the new plantations. “ What hardly surprises André Evette: “Plants have a positive influence on humans: our blood pressure decreases in the forest, seeing a tree from its window facilitates healing in the hospital like concentration in a classroom. Putting plants back, in the end, is no longer disjoining man and nature … “

Not enough fish, too many pesticides
The balance sheet drawn up in 2018 by the Observatory of water quality in Anjou over the last ten years draws up an unquestionable observation: too much nitrates, presence of 151 pesticide molecules (glyphosate, atrazine…), average or even bad fish population.
However, two indicators experience improvement (phosphorus, nitrogen) linked to progress in wastewater treatment.
Singer Julia Parshuta made a very personal and frank confession. The scandal prompted the star of the Star Factory to take this step, which erupted after two interviews with Regina Todorenko. Fans decided that the TV presenter considers women guilty of men raising their hands on them. Parshuta said that for three years she lived with a home tyrant and was afraid to leave her roommate because he threatened her and her relatives.
In 2010 Julia Parshuta fell madly in love with a handsome handsome man. As it seemed to her, the chosen one was the smartest, most caring and attentive. “He was an energetic scholar – a man who is always interesting and fun with. I fell in love without memory. This was the first time with me. He was wonderful. The first few months,” she said.
And then real hell began. The first time he beat her, Julia persuaded herself to forgive him. The tyrant roommate was kneeling and begging forgiveness. “My family never had physical abuse. Therefore, I did not know that it was not treated with a wise word and a meek look. That it should not be forgiven,” the girl said.
She suffered beatings for three years. “In March 2013, a week after an appendectomy, on Nizhnyaya Syromyatnicheskaya street I got hit in the stomach with my fist, “decorated” with the stitches of the operation. A stab in the stomach from his man. Another blow, and only God knows which is the bill for our life together, “Julia Parshuta began her confession.
After that, the man took her phone, bag and car keys. But the girl still ran away from him to her friend. “Having come in, I asked her for water and said that my bag was stolen from me. And with all my strength I showed that everything was fine with me. The third year of our relationship was on. In fact, the third year in a box of fear and despair. Without the ability to search and find protection and exit, “writes the 32-year-old artist.
She also explained why before that she did not dare to leave Tirana. “He was strong. Very. It was the third year of “I-guilty-in-everything”, the third year of “I-worthless”, the third “I-not-for-nothing-capable” year. Because it was the third year I was intimidated to the bone. The third year, as the veil of hopelessness grew stronger from his threats. Because threats are not just me. The threat “I will cut your family” and “to you … if you go to the police”, ”the Star Factory participant shocked with revelation.
Parshuta stressed that for a long time she could not find the strength to admit that she was a victim of domestic violence. The actress urges women not to be silent about the beatings and are not afraid of conviction. “Talking about violence should not be embarrassing,” she summed up.
Jim Harrison must go back to his grave: this year, he could not have teased trout in the rivers of the Morvan, near his friend Gérard Oberlé, writer ogre of knowledge and good things to drink and eat . All of this is the fault of this damn coronavirus that prohibits dipping the wire in water. However, we know a lot of chicks who recognize themselves through the words of Jim Harrison in A good day to die (ed. 10/18, 2003): “I was struck again by the way the fishery helped me to wipe out everything else, at least as long as I was in the river. For a few hours, all the problems – money, sex, alcohol, madness – disappeared in my concentration on the river, the places where the big trout were probably, the clear currents or in the swirls near the grassy shore , or behind the big rocks and pebbles that protruded from the surface of the water, forming pockets of water that always seemed to contain one or two fish. ”
Ass comb
Our old friend Bébert is one of those guys for whom life revolves around three pillars: the factory, the garden, fishing. Turner that he was Bébert. “OHQ” as we said for a highly skilled worker. At the workshop, he was entrusted with the machining of prototypes on his Ernault Somua lathe. You shouldn’t have risked touching his bike, which he burnt like a new penny. He was so proud of it that he didn’t understand anything when the takeover’s combs passed before him without a look or a word. It’s true what, almost forty banks to machine scrap for the same taulier, it deserved at least a bit of chat. He didn’t see anything coming either when the HRD told him that it was not going very much question backlog. It must be said that Bébert is not the kind of guy who gossips at the bistro after work. Him, it is the garden, the fishing which ventilates the mood. So when the big egg spoke “Production outsourcing” in Hungary and China, he simply put his tools in their large rag, emptied his closet in the locker room and then he went home to butter his potatoes. When his wife tumbled into the garden to unpack his chickweed, he simply shrugged, grumbling: “I was told I have enough quarters for retirement.”
Giant of Flanders
Sometimes he misses his turn, the smell of hot metal, the precision of a successful adjustment. But he doesn’t say anything because he always has something to take care of. The garden first: prepare the soil for the end of winter before the spring sowing: transplant, pick, pick, water, and then there is always a blade of grass to pull. You also have to take care of the hens, the rabbits (he is particularly proud of his giant of Flanders, a male), give a helping hand to his wife to hull the beans of the canned goods. Winter, Bébert “Do his wood” as he says in his communal affouage. He cuts, he splits oak, beech, foyard. Logs and quarters of 50 cm (it is precise as in the factory) for the Godin stove which heats a large part of their house. Bébert does everything himself. He never put the words “autarky”, “autonomy” in Scrabble. But the other day, he laughed softly when he heard on TV talking about “transition”, “living and consuming differently”. “I’ve always lived like this, that he thought, and my world will last long enough before I pass the gun to the left. “
Reels
And then there is fishing. This year, as usual, Bébert checked his gear in February. You have to see him polishing his rods, disassembling and checking his reels, mounting his lines, classifying his hooks and lures in his drawer box as tidy as that of his wife’s sewing. At dawn on March 14, he was happy as a kid, posted in one of his favorite fishing spots. To tell the truth, he doesn’t care a bit about the fish, especially since the farmed trout that has just been released is a bit like “duck fishing” at funfairs. Bébert especially likes “to take some fresh air” as he says, snack alone with his dog corniaud by scanning the river bed where he hopes to see a real trout, “A savage”. This year, Bébert came back from fishing with a nice … dandelion salad they ate with bacon and a poached egg. When containment landed like smallpox on the low clergy, Bébert sighed that he was “Too old for this kind of bullshit”. But the doctor phoned: with his emphysema (the fault in the scrap metal dust at the factory), he has to stay well sealed so as not to catch the coronavirus. As usual, he shrugged. he “Fuck the coronamachin” and then “Those joggers idiots”, they have the right to run in the countryside. So why shouldn’t he walk his dog along the river?
Big fario
So the other afternoon, after sowing an 18-day radish plank in the garden, he goes to the water’s edge while the boss goes shopping at Super-U. The dog knows the way alone, over there where the river bends under a large willow. This is where it hides “The memory”, thinks Bébert. A big fario that he spotted a handful of times when she came out of his hideout, a huge strain. Bébert admires him. She fucked all the fishermen in the area. He is afraid it will end up in a landing net. He never had the trophy virus. He would just like to feel it undulate between his fingers underwater like when he was fishing by hand, kid. Today, the wave is clear under a hot spring sun. Bébert leans against the stump under which he distinguishes a tapered shadow. It’s for sure, it’s her. So he plunges his arms into the water to try to catch Memère. But it is already far away when Bébert falls with all his weight into the river.

“You are going to catch death”, she says Bébert’s wife as he dries himself with a rough towel. Once the anger of his mishap is over, he smiles and thinks he’s twelve years old this afternoon. Then he leaves in a huge laugh when he sees in the middle of his wife’s shopping a bag of smoked trout which she is carefully disinfecting with hydroalcoholic gel.
Noirmoutier beanie
Like all fish when smoked, trout love potatoes, especially when they are early, like those grown on the island of Noirmoutier. The star is the bonnotte but there is also the earlier sirtema, the iodea, the lady christ’l. Here is a recipe for “Bonnet apples in goat whipped cream and dill, strips of smoked trout and Siltimur pepper” that you can make with the potatoes available in these confined times.
You need 20 medium-sized underwear for six people; 2 slices of smoked trout cut into strips; 20 cl of very cold liquid cream; ½ fresh goat cheese log; 12 small sprigs of dill; 1 lime cut into quarters; Siltimur pepper or another if you can’t find it (black pepper, Espelette pepper …)
Wash and brush the potatoes then immerse them in a large pot of boiling salted water. Allow 10 minutes for cooking as soon as it boils again. Drain and keep warm. Whip the liquid cream with a mixer. In another bowl, whisk the goat cheese with the rinsed and finely chopped dill and stir in the cream. Whisk again and keep cool.
Arrange the bonnottes on each plate (about three per guest), cutting the top to make the flesh of the potato visible. Using a fluted piping bag or a spoon, arrange your cream.
Add one or two strips of trout, a sprig of dill and a wedge of lime. Give two mill turns with Siltimur pepper and it’s ready.
How does the virus work in water? Traces of SARS-CoV-2 were found in Paris water a few days ago. An infinitesimal quantity which does not concern the drinking water network but only the Seine and the Ourcq canal. Tap water remains safe to drink, but the presence of the virus is questioning.
The virus was found in these non-potable waters of Paris most likely via the stools of infected people. This is the case with each epidemic. Traces of viruses are found in toilet water because it is present in the feces.
This can therefore happen in certain cities where many patients are concentrated. In Rome and Milan, traces of SARS-CoV-2 have also been found. But the risk of the virus spreading through water is almost nonexistent, explains Laurent Moulin, microbiologist at Eau de Paris research and development laboratory.
” There is no specific reason why you should get sick just because you have touched water. In order for us to be sick that the virus is in contact with the mucous membranes. As long as you don’t drink the water or breathe it, there is no problem. In the environment the virus has no chance of multiplying. He is in his environment and he stays there. In wastewater, it lives a few days maximum, no longer than that, and in surface water, it’s the same. The lifespan is quite limited. “
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), keeping the virus in drinking water is not impossible, but the risk of contamination is very low. In Italy and France the idea of using the data found in wastewater networks is gaining ground. They could help better control the circulation of the virus.

Everyday, find the Green thread, the environment meeting of Release. Today, three questions to better understand a scientific breakthrough.
Researchers say they’ve found the solution to endlessly recycle the most common plastic, PET. And this thanks to a particularly effective enzyme, which breaks down (depolymerizes) the plastic and allows its reuse, they explain in a article published in the prestigious journal Nature. A major advance because current recycling processes are not completely circular: plastic gradually loses its properties and ends up as waste. This project mobilizes around twenty people within the Toulouse Biotechnology Institute (CNRS, Inrae, Insa), who work in collaboration with the French company of green chemistry Carbios. Researchers have reviewed enzymes that can break down PET, the plastic that makes up our water bottles. They retained the most promising, unearthed in the compos
