Launch of a cosmic ray experiment on July 21, 1969 from the #soccer field of the #River Plate stadium, in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The stadium stands served as a virtual #windbreak to allow the balloon to be safely inflated & launched. Several balloon missions were performed there in 1969/70 by the Centro Nacional de Radiación Cósmica (CNRC) and the institution that succeeded it the Instituto de Astronomia y Fisica del Espacio (IAFE).

This surprised me a lot, as probably few people outside Latin America know this fabulous 70s/80s band, but he's convincing about what sets this band apart from others of the time.

Lots of promotion on the twitter/X echo chamber for Javier Milei, the trump-loving, anti-abortion, anti-science, anti-pope, self-described “anarcho capitalist”, trash-talking, right-wing faux populist, who is perhaps about to take Argentina to the dark side, should he win the Presidency in October.

"#Unenlagia was a #bird-like #theropod that lived in what is now #Argentina during the late #Cretaceous period, roughly 89 million years ago... When alive it likely ate meat, possibly specializing in smaller prey or #fish. The genus name translates to 'Half-bird' due to the #dinosaur's limbs which were particularly similar to those of modern #birds."

The ‘false prophet’ v the pope: Argentina faces clash of ideologies in election

In one corner of the ring stands #Javier #Milei, 52, self-described former tantric sex coach, outsider #anarcho-#capitalist and #frontrunner in Argentina’s upcoming presidential elections

In the other, his compatriot #Pope #Francis, 86, world champion of the poor, repeatedly derided by Argentina’s likely next president as “a fucking communist” and “the representative of the evil one on Earth” for promoting the doctrine of “#social #justice” to aid the underprivileged.

Milei, a political unknown until 2020, has pledged to wage a “cultural battle” to transform Argentina into a #libertarian paradise where capitalist efficiency replaces social assistance, taxes are reduced to a minimum and cash-strapped individuals are allowed to sell their body organs on the open market.

From Rome, Pope Francis has expressed grave concern about the rise of such callous policies in his home country. “The extreme right always reconstructs itself, it is the triumph of #selfishness over #communitarianism,” he said in a television interview in March when asked about #Argentina’s upcoming #elections

#SouthAmerica's scorching winter is decimating #crops and threatening lives

Story by Marina E. Franco, August 15, 2023

"This winter in South America has been one of the hottest on record, intensifying crises created over the last year by severe #droughts, #wildfires and #floods in some regions.

"Why it matters: Experts say the #Extremeweather is already threatening critical #biodiversity and the lives of millions in a region where many reside in slums or informal housing with little #infrastructure.

"Threat level: Much of the northern hemisphere has experienced deadly #heatwaves and weather disasters this summer. July was the hottest month on record.

"In South America, the 'hot' winter effect stems both from the El Niño phenomenon that warms ocean temperatures and from man-made #globalwarming says Alejandro Max Pastén, head of hydrological prediction at Paraguay's Weather Service.

"'What's being done so far to stem this is either not yet panning out or simply not enough, and the effects are increasingly plain to see,' adds Pastén, who also leads the atmospheric sciences department at Paraguay's Universidad Nacional de Asunción.

"Extreme weather has caused significant reductions in crops for local consumption and for exports, which contribute to many of South America's economies. For example, drought has slashed #Argentina's #soybean yields to the lowest in 24 years, threatening its status as world's largest exporter of #soybeanoil and meal.

"Increased and irregular #glacier melting has put lives and livelihoods in danger since many people depend on regular meltoff for drinking water and #agriculture. It is also used to supply #hydroelectric power generation, which could be affected as glacier water becomes more scarce.

"The World Meteorological Organization has warned that a diminished hydroelectric power supply is increasing demand for fossil fuels in a region that has 'major untapped potential for #renewable energy.'

"What's happening: Heat waves have hit several South American nations since July, the second month of winter. The average temperature in #BuenosAires in early August is 59°F — this year it's been 86°. Temperatures in #Chile hit 100° this month.

"#ExtremeHeat has worsened drought conditions and also made the region more prone to dangerous landslides when it rains.

"Parts of #Uruguay have been under a 'water emergency' since June because of drought, and that same month #Bolivia had a mix of drought, heavy rains and frost."

"Parts of South America are sweltering under abnormally hot temperatures – despite being in the depths of winter – as the combination of human-caused #ClimateChange and the arrival of #ElNiño feed into extreme winter heat.

"Southern Cone countries including Chile and #Argentina have experienced summer-like conditions as a heat wave, beginning in July, pushed temperatures higher than 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) in some places – dramatically above average for this time of year.

"Maximiliano Herrera, a climatologist who tracks extreme temperatures across the globe, told CNN that South America is experiencing a 'fierce winter heat wave.'

While such heat waves are not unheard of for the continent, this one has 'exceptional characteristics for its area, duration, intensity and being early August,' Herrara said, adding 'dozens of stations are recording their highest ever temperatures in the first half of August.'

"August in the Southern Hemisphere is equivalent to February in the Northern Hemisphere.

"Chile’s environment minister, Maisa Rojas, said that the world has been experiencing extreme events for weeks. 'Yesterday it was the turn of South America and #Chile,' she said in a Twitter post Wednesday.

"In the mountainous Chilean #Andes region, temperatures climbed to 38.9 degrees Celsius (102 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday, according to Herrara, who described the event as 'unbelievable' for mid-winter and 'rewriting all climatic books.'"

"August in the Southern Hemisphere is equivalent to February in the Northern Hemisphere. It shouldn’t be hot, let alone scorching.

Temperatures Tuesday rose past 95 degrees (35 Celsius) in numerous locations, including at elevations of about 3,500 to 4,500 feet in the #Andes foothills."

Australian Expert on climate heatwaves A/Prof. Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick tweeted today about the South American #heatwave event:
"what the actual F**K. this is totally insane. When I first saw this, I had trouble believing it myself. I'm shocked. Buenos Aires broke a record by over 5C - that's like Sydney experiencing a 30+C day at this time of year. This is bonkers. climatechange"

“South America is living one of the extreme events the world has ever seen,” weather historian Maximiliano Herrera tweeted, adding, “This event is rewriting all climatic books.” The most extreme conditions have occurred in the southern half of the continent, and particularly in the Andes Mountains region. #Argentina #Chile #Peru #LatAm #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #ClimateEmergency #collapse https://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2023/08/02/southamerica-record-winter-heat-argentina-chile/

Troubling #News from #Argentina, as the #HumanRights of both #Indigenous communities in #Jujuy province, and the #Archaeologists who work alongside them, are increasingly being trampled on by an #Authoritarian government.

#UniversidadNacional #UniversidadDeBuenosAires #NationalUniversity #UniversityOfBuenosAires #Archaeology #ICAZ

A press release from ICAZ, the International Council for Archaezoology. Dated 31/07/2023.

It reads:

"We, the members of the Executive and International Committees of the International Council for Archaeozoology (ICAZ), on behalf of the full membership of ICAZ, declare our strongest support of scientist colleagues, teachers and professors, indigenous peoples and the people generally of Jujuy province, Argentina.

"These people have been suffering severe repression and illegal harassment and prosecution in the last couple of months after demonstrating for better working conditions, the preservation of natural resources in their territories, and the promulgation of a new provincial constitution that is at odds with basic human rights, such as making public demonstrations, without the necessary consultation to Jujuy people.

"Several colleagues, including archaeologists, are affected by these measures, such as illegal trespassing by the police into the National University and threats by the governor to the University of Buenos Aires.

"As an international academic community commonly hosted in universities and often working side by side with indigenous peoples, we would like to express our deep concern for those measurements against human rights, and affirm our solidarity with the people of Jujuy."

Seguimos con este perfil de Fernando Cerimedo, un consultor y mitómano argentino que asegura, entre otras cosas, haber trabajado con Barack Obama y haberse graduado de Harvard, aunque no hay pruebas de eso. Cerimedo se volvió famoso por hacer un live en #Brasil denunciando un supuesto fraude en contra de Bolsonaro y a favor de Lula. Ahora asesora a Milei en #Argentina. Es una nota llena de humor involuntario https://www.elclip.org/cerimedo-consultor-derecha-diario/ #MercenariosDigitales

They were working on 3-D printing bandoneons at an Argentine university to address the incredibly high cost of instruments

A collectors market led to what were effectively international instrument poachers, making it impossible for young people to learn to play the national music

I have some website links in my digital files if anybody wants

#Argentina #tango #bandoneon #accordion #3dprinting

3-D printed bandoneon looks like a traditional been on your own, but is actually made of plastic.
The inside of the 3-D printed band on your own has parts that instead of being made of wood are made out of white plastic, levers and switches, and buttons.

For #MeerMittwoch here's another photo from the Beagle Channel, south of Ushuaia at the southern tip of Argentina and Chile. Cormorants to the right, responsible for this rocky islet's decoration, and not one, but two sea lions, with the impressive Martial Mountains in the distance.

#Photography #TravelPhotography #Travel #Ushuaia #BeagleChannel #SeaLion #Argentina #Chile #MartialMountains #Mountains

It's a cloudy day, feeling fresh as we're out on the water looking back across a grey, choppy sea towards layers of landscape in the distance; low, darker layers in front; hillier layers showing hints of sunshine splashing through cloud cover onto their peaks behind that; dominating the background and pale and desaturated with distance, a sharp-edged, jagged mountain range filling the width of the shot with lower ranges in shadow and upper ones bright with snow in crevasses reflecting light from above. In the immediate foreground of the shot, just in front of the boat we must be standing upon, there is a small, rocky island only a couple of metres high at its highest but stretching from left to right. The island looks like it has two layers. The lower one is dark brown rocks, some wet from the action of the small waves. Above the level that the water reaches the entire surface is coated in a layer of white, some of it running down cracks. The presence of a a few dozen black and whit, upright cormorants to the right of shot tells us where this white layer comes from; years of accumulated guano. On the left side of this rocky island there is a large, male sea lion, sitting up, raising his head upwards as if hunting for some sunshine. Against the layer of brown rocks below and centre we can just make out a smaller sea lion, perhaps a female, almost hidden against the background with skin the same colour as the rocks.
