On the legendary Congo River, Commander Aimé is at the helm of a gigantic wooden raft the size of a football field. With his men, he is trying to transport 220 tree trunks linked together by cables from Kisangani to Kinshasa. The raft is also the cheapest means of transport for the most deprived who wish to reach the capital. On board, danger is daily, injuries, sandbanks and storms do not spare the men. For those who take the trails along the river, the conditions are not better. Without public transportation, travelers have no choice but to board freight trucks for an epic journey.

Description

From here on in the teams face an ever changing ecosystem as they head down from the dizzying heights and into he more tropical landscape that this regions is renowned for.

L'exploitation de cette source d'énergie fossile et d'hydrocarbures est l’un des piliers de l’économie industrielle contemporaine, car le pétrole fournit la quasi-totalité des carburants liquides — fioul, gazole, kérosène, essence, GPL — tandis que le naphta produit par le raffinage est à la base de la pétrochimie, dont sont issus un très grand nombre de matériaux usuels — plastiques, textiles synthétiques, caoutchoucs synthétiques (élastomères), détergents, adhésifs, engrais, cosmétiques, etc. — et que les fractions les plus lourdes conduisent aux bitumes, paraffines et lubrifiants. Le pétrole dans son gisement est fréquemment associé à des fractions légères qui se séparent spontanément du liquide à la pression atmosphérique, ainsi que diverses impuretés comme le dioxyde de carbone, le sulfure d'hydrogène, l'eau de formation et des traces métalliques.

Avec 32,0 % de l'énergie primaire consommée en 2017, le pétrole est la source d'énergie la plus utilisée dans le monde devant le charbon (27,1 %) et le gaz naturel (22,2 %) ; sa part a fortement reculé : elle atteignait 46,3 % en 1973.

En 2018, selon BP, les réserves mondiales prouvées de pétrole atteignaient 244,1 Gt (milliards de tonnes), en progression de 15,8 % par rapport à 2008 et de 51,6 % par rapport à 1998. Elles représentaient 50,0 années de production au rythme de 2018 : 4,47 Gt, dont 41,5 % produits par les pays membres de l'OPEP ; les trois principaux producteurs : États-Unis, Arabie saoudite et Russie, totalisaient 41,2 % de la production mondiale. Les principaux importateurs de pétrole sont l'Europe, la Chine, les États-Unis, l'Inde et le Japon ; les principaux exportateurs sont l'Arabie saoudite, la Russie, l'Irak, le Canada, les Émirats arabes unis et le Koweït.

L'Agence internationale de l'énergie évalue les émissions mondiales de CO2 dues au pétrole à 11 232 Mt (millions de tonnes) en 2016, en progression de 32,2 % depuis 1990 ; ces émissions représentent 34,6 % des émissions dues à l'énergie en 2017, contre 44,2 % pour le charbon et 20,5 % pour le gaz naturel.

Burma is not only fascinating because of its very rich history, but also its atmosphere, aromas and hospitality.

Occupied by the Mons, the Burmans and the British, Burma has known multiple cultures. T

he city of Bagan, “the land of golden roofs,” is a jewel of Burma. It is a testament to the past grandeur of the kings of Bagan who reigned over the first Burman empire.

There are monuments of Sri Lankan, Indian, Tibetan, Mon and Burman influence...

This majestic Buddhist archaeological site, comparable to Angkor in neighboring Cambodia, is home to more that 2,000 temples, stupas and pagodas, built between the 11th and 13th centuries and spread across 40 km2.

It is the largest concentration of Buddhist monuments in the world.

After having gone through the Sarabha Gate, a estige of the 9th century, you can admire a view of the entire old city from the top of the ThatbyinnyuPahto Temple: at 63 meters high it is the tallest monument in Bagan.

The construction of the Shwezigon Pagoda was begun in 1059 by King Anawrahta to shelter a jawbone and tooth of Buddha that he had obtained after his campaign against the Dali kingdom (in what is now Yunnan).

It was finished under the reign of his son Kyansittha in 1102: inside the complex there is a stone pillar that has inscriptions about the King.

The Ananda Temple is one of the most beautiful Buddhist monuments in Bagan. Built by King Kyansittha in 1091, it was originally dedicated to the “infinite wisdom” of the Buddha (anantapinya). According to Legend, Kyansittha had been inspired by the description that monks from India gave of their temple, which would explain the Ananda's Indian architectural features.

The Wetkyi Inn Gubyaukgyi Temple houses lovely frescos depicting scenes from the Jataka. The stairs inside lead to four Buddha images and the Hindu sculptures carved on the spire.

The Htilominlo Temple, famous for its fine stucco ornaments, was built between 1211 and 1218 by King Htilominlo (or Nandaungmya) to commemorate the fact that a parasol (a symbol of power) tilted towards him him during his enthronement. On the second floor, four buddhas have their backs to the central pillar, facing in the four directions.

Portugal has become a favorite place for tourists with a taste for luxury.

Hitler would be the fallen angel, the devil, the man who hypnotized and horrified an entire people and plunged the whole world into war. Alone, the Führer would have decided and planned everything.

0:00 🇩🇪 Hitler's image as an infallible genius was a myth; he was a dilettante who did not like intellectual effort. He surrounded himself with a network of collaborators, including Hermann Goering, Joseph Goebbels, and Heinrich Himmler.
10:36 🔥 Hitler recruits his closest allies and assigns them important roles in the Nazi party.
21:25 🔥 Joseph Goebbels rises to power as Hitler's Minister of Propaganda and orchestrates the persecution of Jews in Germany.
32:56 💥 Hitler's architect, Albert Speer, successfully completes the construction of the future chancellery of the Reich in just one year, impressing Hitler and solidifying his position as one of Hitler's most influential advisors.
43:08 ⚠️ Hitler prepares for war and the Nazis begin their conquest of Europe, while Himmler oversees the implementation of the Holocaust.
53:46 🔍 Rudolf Hoess, the commandant of Auschwitz, and Dr. Joseph Mengele, who conducted medical experiments, were key figures in the atrocities committed at the camp.
1:02:14 😮 Goering's disagreement with Hitler, Speer's miracle of doubling armament production, and Goebbels' efforts to rally the German people.
1:13:39 🔥 The collapse of the Reich is imminent as the Allies invade Normandy and Margit, a Jewish girl in hiding in Berlin, hears news of an assassination attempt on Hitler.
1:23:40 💀 The Nuremberg Trials result in the condemnation of Nazi war criminals, with Hermann Goering choosing to commit suicide rather than be hanged, and Albert Speer successfully portraying himself as ignorant of the Holocaust.
