Plant debris left behind by Hurricane Matthew covers a stretch of the NASA Railroad near Launch Pads 39A and B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. A portion of the line near the ocean was used during the Apollo era, although some portions were used to deliver commodities to the nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station through the end of the Titan program. NASA determined it was financially and ecologically advantageous to leave the tracks in place. Hurricane Matthew, a Category 3 storm, passed to the east of Kennedy on Oct. 6 and 7, 2016. The center received some isolated roof damage, damaged support buildings, a few downed power lines, and limited water intrusion. Beach erosion also occurred, although the storm surge was less than expected.

LAO - LE RYTHME DES EAUXAu Nord du Laos, enclavée dans les montagnes, la paisible cité de Luang Prabang prospère depuis des siècles au sein de la péninsule formée par la confluence du fleuve Mékong et de la rivière Nam Khan. Avant dêtre devancée par Vientiane, elle fut la capitale du puissant Royaume de Lane Xang (Royaume du Million dEléphants). Son architecture coloniale et ses majestueux temples lui valent dêtre inscrite au patrimoine mondiale de lUNESCO depuis 1995.La légende raconte que Bouddha y serait venu au cours de lun de ses voyages et quil a souri. Aujourdhui, la ville est un haut lieu bouddhique de lAsie du Sud-Est. Les jeunes y viennent des campagnes alentours pour faire une retraite monastique et ainsi recevoir une éducation gratuite.A loccasion de Pi Mai, la Fête de l'Eau, Luang Prabang se réveille. Correspondant au Nouvel An lao et bouddhique, on fête le retour de la saison des pluies et la renaissance de la nature. Durant les plusieurs jours de festivités,

Restoration efforts are underway to the dunes at the north beaches at NASAs Kennedy Space Center in Florida in this view on April 15, 2019. About 450,000 cubic yards of beach-quality sand, tested for compatibility, was transported to the space centers beaches. After the dune was built up, native coastal vegetation was replanted, helping to stabilize the dune and offer a habitat for Kennedys coastal wildlife. Dunes are affected by beach erosion and storm surge from tropical events, such as hurricanes. Restoration began in spring 2018 and was targeted to be completed by April 2019.

LAO - VIENTIANE LA COMPROMISEMême si elle se rapproche du million dhabitants, Vientiane a encore les allures dune bourgade à côte des mégapoles des pays voisins telles que Bangkok ou Ho-Chi-Minh Ville. Cela nempêche pas la capitale laotienne de rêver du même destin. La culture ancestrale du Laos, étroitement liée au culte bouddhique, se veut sans vains désirs ni ambitions démesurées. Aujourdhui, la rupture est totale et Vientiane en est lillustration. La croissance exponentielle du pays est principalement due aux investissements étrangers, avec en première ligne la Chine, qui viennent puiser dans les nombreuses ressources naturelles du pays, notamment dans les secteurs miniers, forestiers et hydroélectriques.Ainsi, avec la mondialisation qui entraine luniformisation des modes de vie et ces nouvelles richesses qui sont créées, les habitants de la capitale aspirent à un nouveau destin.
