236 skolu jaunieši (10.-12.klases) šogad balsoja Signālvēlēšanās (tie paši vēlēšanu saraksti, balsošana skolās). Lūk viņu balsojums! Nevaru iedomāties vēl labāku veidu kā skolēniem veicināt interesi par politiku, visi organizatori - baigie malači. rezultati.signalvelesanas.lv/rezultati

Savukārt Pro, cerams, sapratīs, ka viņu (potenciālo) vēlētāju vidū ir gana daudz cilvēku, kuri nepieņems skaidrojumu "nu tā sanāca, teicām, lai iet prom, jo bija aizdomas par nepiedienīgu rīcību, bet šis publiski stāstīja, ka izdedzis, ko tad mēs varējām darīt?"

Drīzāk kā lielu cīņu starp vērtībām, vēlēšanu rezultāti uzrāda 1990. gadu personāliju politikas atgriešanos, kopā ar praktiski neattīstītām partiju attiecībām ar vēlētājiem starpvēlēšanu posmā (re: zemā aktivitāte) un soctīkliem. Idejas = personālijas ir neprognozējamība un arī patvaļīgums.

Bez tā, ka NA un AS matemātiski pa diviem sanāk vairākums, un PRO vājā snieguma, visvairāk mani apbēdina fakts, ka liberālas vērības pietiekami svarīgas šķita tikai nepilniem 14% nobalsojušu.

Antarctica is going to lose ice this century, even if the world hits its most ambitious climate goals. Why that matters to you: Melting Antarctic ice will substantially raise sea levels, increasing the risk of flooding for millions of people in coastal communities.
theconversation.com
Antarctica’s ice loss is locked in, and extra snowfall won’t save it – that’s bad news for low-lying coastal areas elsewhere
The Antarctic ice sheet’s future depends how a chain of events plays out. A new study finds the evidence points in one direction.

Dobropillia, in the Donetsk region. Russia swore these towns and their people needed to be "liberated." And so Russia came and liberated Donetsk towns, one by one, from their people, their homes, and life itself.

The images were taken in June this year and show further destruction of homes, businesses, places of worship and infrastructure since a fragile ceasefire came into effect almost 12 months ago.
