'Arid Aquaculture' Among Livelihoods Promoted To Relieve Worsening Pressure On World's Drylands

Using ponds filled with salty, undrinkable water for fish production is one of several options proven effective as an alternative livelihood in parts of the world's expanding drylands. Researchers say alternatives to traditional crop farming and livestock rearing need to be put in place in drylands to mitigate human causes of desertification.

	To be effective, flood warning systems use rainfall data available in real time. These data come from the ground observation network and estimations made based on the national network of climate radars operated by Météo France. Today, mountain zones are only partially covered by this rain detection technology. Within the INTERREG project, a new generation of radars is being tested by Cemagref in the Var department, a mountainous region with a high flood risk. The radar is currently located in the countryside immediately inland from Nice.

•	A computer wallpaper for makers...
	Hi all, So, earlier this evening while sitting at my desk trying to work and failing miserably, I looked up at my computer and thought, "wow, there's a whole mess of empty space right there in front of me. Wouldn't that be a great place for an engineering/maker's cheat sheet?" Assuming that somebody would've thought of this already, I googled "desktop background engineering cheat sheet" in a number of permutations, to no avail. I was disappointed. Which brings me to the question I'd like to pose to the maker community. If you're like me and do a great deal of your work with your laptop nearby, you might find some utility in having a cheat-sheet printed there on the desktop for you to use. What would you most appreciate having on that cheat sheet? Resistor color codes seem an obvious one, as well as basic electronics formulas, trig rules, conversion tables...Any other ideas? Anyway, let me know. I've put up a preliminary version of the background here (pretty shotgunned, I can think of a bunch of things I wouldn't mind having on it already): http://www.box.net/shared/dquk1i8ffz ...and the Photoshop document for it here: http://www.box.net/shared/dizh8crqmr Apologies for not quoting the sources that I got the graphics from...If this irritates someone, I can certainly track down the graphics. Also, I fully own up to the fact that I don't know the first thing about Photoshop - hope my design basis isn't too crummy. Cheers, J.L
