It is only the start of the monsoon season, but already Pakistan is experiencing some of the worst flooding it has seen in over 80 years. Entire villages have been washed away, an early estimate of over 1,600 deaths so far and over 2 million displaced or otherwise affected. Not only is the immediate water damage causing havoc, the floods have inundated crop-producing areas, dealing a crippling blow to the agricultural-based economy and threatening a food crisis. The Pakistani government now struggles to rescue and provide aid to millions – while still fighting with militant Islamist forces in many of the hardest-hit regions. With even more heavy rains predicted in the coming days, here are a handful of recent photographs of Pakistanis as they cope with this latest disaster. (41 photos total)

Last month, Russia endured the hottest July ever recorded since records began 130 years ago. The intense heat and drought affecting central Russia has been drying out trees and peat marshes, which have been catching fire recently, burning forests, fields and houses across a massive region. Some 500 new fires have been reported in the last 24 hours alone, and a mobilization of hundreds of thousands of emergency workers is underway to combat them. President Dmitry Medvedev has now declared a state of emergency in seven regions. To date, over 1,500 homes have been destroyed and 40 lives have been lost. as wildfires continue across over 300,000 acres. (38 photos total)

Υγρό Μολύβι ή αλλιώς Liquid Pencil


Σε ένα περίπου μήνα θα κυκλοφορήσει στην αγορά ένα πρωτοποριακό προϊόν. Το υγρό μολύβι. 
Γράφει απαλά σαν πένα, σβήνει σαν μολύβι και μετά τρεις ημέρες γίνεται ανεξίτηλο, μένει (;) για πάντα!

Ας πούμε πως και τούτο εδώ το ψηφιακό μολύβι λειτουργεί σαν το υγρό μολύβι!
Γι' αυτό και το όνομά μας: Υγρό Μολύβι ή αλλιώς Liquid Pencil...

Για να πω την αλήθεια, μάλλον ήταν μια συγκυρία! Ένα κλικ της στιγμής που γέννησε αυτό το ιστολόγιο. Φιλοδοξίες δεν υπάρχουν. Απλά το μολυβάκι μας θα καταγράφει "τυχαίες" στιγμές πάνω στις συγκυρίες των κλίκ!!

Όχι, γόμα δεν διαθέτω!!
