 A new giant solar explosion, much stronger than that recorded by NASA devices in November, was discovered on December 6, the satellite Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), the U.S. space agency launched in February, inform popsci.com, quoted by Mediafax. The new eruption occurred in the southern hemisphere of the Sun and solar filament material ejected into space covers an area of over 700,000 km, equivalent to twice the distance between Earth and Moon. However, the ejection of solar plasma was 96,000 km longer than that recorded during the previous solar flare that occurred in November.
According to Popular Science magazine's electronic edition (popsci.com), the flow of solar plasma is not going to Earth, and for this reason that experts say is not likely to affect the explosion Monday solar orbit satellites and electronic or electrical devices the Earth's surface. This information was confirmed by spaceweather.com site. However, carrying solar wind particles expelled by the Sun, went on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, above the polar regions of Earth, "lightly touches the" Earth's magnetic field and generating spectacular aurora borealis above Sweden, near the Polar Circle.
According to the site spaceweather.com, a new "wave" of solar wind is moving towards Earth and will reach close to our planet on 10 December. Astronomy enthusiasts at high latitudes will be able to admire the aurora borealis over the weekend in November.
To protect the electricity distribution networks from the ground, NASA designed Space Solar Shield project, which will be inaugurated soon. Solar Shield will use the data from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) satellite system and stereo to launch a warning signal from the ground through which specialists will be able to stop at a distance, using computers, electrical generators The high voltage network line, thereby preventing them from damaging solar storms.
Following high-intensity solar flares, the shock wave can damage satellites, electricity distribution networks and communication lines across the globe.
According to international media, some experts believe that the Earth will be hit by unprecedented levels of magnetic energy due to solar flares, circa 2013.
During a solar eruption, a huge amount of energy that the Sun is in the chromosphere and the crown is issued instantly. Matter is designed to very high speed in interplanetary space. The phenomenon is accompanied by the emission of X-rays, radio waves and, if more powerful eruptions, visible light. When they get close to Earth and enters the atmosphere, especially over the north pole region, the particles create polar auroras. They also disrupt the propagation of radio waves around the globe, affecting the electricity distribution networks.
Phenomena varies with frequency and intensity for almost 11 years, this time recording a number of sunspot minimum and maximum. Solar activity is influenced by Sun's rotation and magnetism. romanialibera.ro

 A report by Transparency International shows that the world is more corrupt than three years ago when a similar study was conducted. On the front positions in this classification are Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iraq and India, followed by China, Russia and the large square in the Middle East. The report said that political parties are seen as most corrupt institutions, 50% of those surveyed 90,000 people from 86 countries, the government is not responding effectively to solve the problem.
One in four people surveyed admitted that they gave bribes last year, most by police. 29% of the bribes came from people in uniform, while 14% were headed to court, according to BBC.
Political parties were viewed as most corrupt in Transparency International's 2004 report, while 71% said they are the most corrupt institutions. This year, 80% of those polled said the same thing. The representatives of religion are viewed with more doubt than ever, half of those surveyed saying that they are corrupt, an increase of 28%, how many thought so in 2004.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 67% of bribes were given to the problems with the authorities to be avoided. In Arab countries and Latin America, most of the bribes were given to rush things.
In Asia-Pacific region, 35% of people gave bribes to get a job at which they were entitled, and in North America and the EU, those who gave bribes but do not remember why.
Those who live in Afghanistan, Nigeria, Iraq and India felt most strongly corruption in everyday life, at least half of the respondents who live in these countries, saying that they gave bribes last year.
84% of Cambodia's citizens and 89% of Liberians give bribes, while in the Netherlands, the percentage of those who give bribes is 0%.
Bribery is less common in the EU and America Notrd, is mentioned in the report (5%).
Simultaneously, a BBC survey, which included 13,000 respondents from 26 countries, showed that corruption is the subject matter, about one in five people talking about it last month. It speaks more about corruption than about the lack of jobs, higher costs for food or energy or climate change.
Especially people from Brazil, Egypt, Colombia, Philippines and Kenya see corruption as an extremely serious problem, being the main topic of discussion. In Europe, Italians are most concerned about corruption. ziare.com

 Baba Vanga, the famous Bulgarian clarvazatoarea, left behind a long list of projections, which extend until 5079, the year the world will end, according to her. Most of them are catastrophic, aiming to bring radical changes in the evolution of humanity.
Has been talking about this subject and there were many predictions that were not true. Announces the end of the world are still 2,000 years, but it is all "delay."
We expect 2000 to see the end of the world comes only in 2012, after which other "seers" have predicted that the correct year is 2013 row, 2016, 2022, 2032 and the string can no longer believes in continua.Desi end of the world missed forecasts after all, they continue to appear everywhere. If Nostradamus has lost its charm, Baba Vanga gaining ground, as predictions bulgaroaicei fashionable in this period.
End of the World in 5079, the depopulation of Europe Resettlement communism, building a artificial sun, starting wars, even on Mars, human communication with God, eternal life or people moving into another solar system are just some of the forecasts Vang, according Site Astral's The World.
Here is a chronological list of predictions:

 Forest fires broke out in the Caramel mountains in Israel continues to expand its borders is now located just one kilometer from the outskirts of Haifa. Fire is the largest in Israeli history, and the flames seem unstoppable.
Fire threatening Denia neighborhood and Technology Institute Tehnion writes Al Jazeera. Fire Fighting is difficult because of strong gusts of selling that spread flames and outbreaks do occur in November. After the disaster 41 people died, 17 suffered serious injuries and another 17,000 were evacuated. Including firefighters were evacuated from Caramel Forest Hotel, located near the reservation where the fire is raging. They were evacuated, too, and zoo employees in the reserve, but the animals could not be moved elsewhere. They were left to their fate, the only help being that cage doors were left open.

Republic of Moldova could again find themselves on the threshold of parliamentary elections. This will be created if the center-left coalition. In these circumstances, the LDP leader, Filat says that the party he leads will not vote for a head of state ever application submitted by a Communist coalition. If neither the Liberal Party will not vote for a pro-communist president, early elections are inevitable. Spinning contradicts the PD leader, Marian Lupu, which argues that post-election negotiations aimed not yet sharing in the state functions.
