Reflections of the world a trip in balloon check-up of takeoff for a flight to the style of yesteryear. Near Münster, Westphalia, women aerostatas of three countries prepare their aircraft for a flight competition for this region of the Federal Republic of Germany. Men remain on Earth to help take-off. In the nacelles, single women.
In the 200 years since that flew in France the first balloon, the aerostats, well inflated air heated hydrogen, hardly changed. Today like yesterday, they remain toys of the winds. Only the height can be controlled. To ascend are thrown sandbags, lowering is released gas.
Ceiling height is about 6,000 meters. And if the wind, that knows no boundaries, drag them above these, the aerostatas have always bring the document or identity.
The heavy air traffic has reduced freedoms Ethereal. But when an aerostata wants to take a walk in the clouds, more than just a telefonazo to the appropriate air traffic control, and this will reserve for a few hours 'air hanger"where dream hung between heaven and Earth.
Bolivia; the project the Pirai river Pirai. In the Bolivian winter a peaceful river current. Now it is the time when in the course of the river and its basin action to channel the expected floods. These blinding sand again extensive agricultural areas, reaching the cities and threaten human lives.
The Federal Republic of Germany is involved for many years with specialists and financial support in the so-called "Pirai project", which provides for both the construction of dykes and river basin sanitation.
Torrential rains cause heavy landslides in the mountainous regions of Bolivia. Only through walls in the slopes and improving drainage flow can be reduced by 4 million tons of solid substances carried annually by the Pirai river.
Other causes of floods, the felling of forests and not streamlined cultivation of the soil, increase the flow of surface waters and, with it, the soil erosion.
Part of German aid has been the establishment of a hidrometrologico system for measuring continuously the current speed, calculating the volume of water flow. The main task of the "service of channeling of waters and regularization of the Rio Pirai", which collaborates with the German mission, is the complex sanitation and maintenance of the river basin. In addition report by radio to the population, for example to prevent it from impending floods.
The circumstances and problems of the banks of Piraí River are similar to the of many rivers in other tropical countries of the Andean zone. The successes and failures harvested here will serve as guidance in other parts.
Most modern technique Center of printing composition of a newspaper in an editorial hamburger. Thus was born a large circulation newspaper: an impressive document of the journalistic techniques revolutionary and printing prevailing in the Federal Republic of Germany.
From here, the produceion is fully automatic. The graphic signs are converted into electrical signals, and they are radiotransmitidas by a directional facility located behind the building of the editorial to the printing press, which is located 30 kilometers from here.
The large print located at the gates of Hamburg is reconverted the electrical signals in graphic images. Thus arises a negative facsimile of the page, which is copied directly to a printing plate.
The introduceion of this modern technology of photocomposition, computers and a new generation of presses found some opposition. Producers in the industry were afraid of losing their jobs. On the other hand announced a competition without quarter, which could exceed large companies due to the strong investments. The jobs were not lost, but increased quality requirements.
Although this printing press, the largest in Europe, is owned by a single Publisher this is forced to work at full capacity to amortize the enormous investment. This also prints journals competition, faster and more economically than their respective printers. Each of these machines print the time 70,000 newspapers of 48 pages.
New technology means greater topicality. Till 21 hours even news may be included in the Edition, which begins to be distributed at 2 in the morning.
