Questions about a tragic avalanche in California The investigative inquiries launched in the Sierra Nevada following a recent avalanche that caused the deaths of eight skiers and left one missing regarding possible negligence by the company organizing the ski trip despite the arrival of a severe storm, raise in general the questions about other tragic events that have occurred in various mountainous regions of the world; in fact, usually a simple avalanche warning is enough to deter skiers from what could be a dangerous descent, then with climate change the snow cover is often less compact and unstable. To report changing the topic but remaining with natural themes the understandable complaints of the survivors of the disastrous floods in Sumatra three months ago who had to undertake "religious fasts" while living in makeshift shelters with high daytime temperatures that then become freezing at night. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 21, 2026

 Equipping technologies with a stop button A technology without a button, a lever, or a plug that can be removed to turn it off is obviously not positive, just as uncontrolled power can cause more harm than benefits; therefore for example generative artificial intelligence should not have areas of autonomy and any decision it makes should have human supervision. Even the father of artificial intelligence (G.H.) talks about the risk that it could become smarter than us and take over also because it is impossible to predict what advancements this technology will make. There are figurative parallels drawn with maternal instincts and other typical human characteristics as a way to put some brakes on it, but in the case of a super-intelligent AI it is difficult to imagine a scenario of unregulated competition to develop technology that is not human-centered. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 20, 2026

Climate change hinders coffee cultivation The regions of the planet suitable for coffee cultivation are reportedly experiencing an average of forty-seven days of excessive heat each year, according to a study conducted in twenty-five countries representing almost all coffee production from 2021 to 2025. For Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, the figure rises to fifty-seven additional days of abnormal heat for a production that accounts for seventy-five percent of the total. Temperatures above thirty Celsius degrees are considered quite harmful for Arabica quality and are not ideal for Robusta quality either and these two coffee plant species support the majority of global production, then it had already been observed that erratic rainfall promotes the growth of mold, fungi and diseases inevitably leading to higher prices for lower-quality products. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 19, 2026

Studies on avian flu strain in Antarctica A strain of avian influenza described as capable of causing the death of one hundred percent of infected wildlife in a short period of time is reportedly spreading in an area of Antarctica, according to the observations of a Chilean researcher who in April 2024 identified this particularly dangerous strain on the icy continent, now affecting a coastal area of about nine hundred kilometers. In Antarctica this strain (found for example in cormorants, kelp gulls, penguins, and fur seals) has the ability to spread to other regions and can cause the death of ninety to one hundred percent of infected animals in one or two days. A global wave of avian flu in birds and mammals has been reported since 2021; in 2023 it caused the death of thousands of Humboldt penguins in Chile; then generally some say that the situation needs to be closely monitored. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 18, 2026

UK intentions to ban social media for young people Perhaps by the end of the year Britain could follow Australia's example and then later similar initiatives and intentions in France, Spain, Greece, and Slovenia to ban social media for those under sixteen, then pressure is also growing in this direction on social media platforms to safeguard young people's health even though there are tensions in creating strict regulations in the sector. Another point to note is the question some have raised regarding so-called "digital clones" of a person allowed by generative artificial intelligence which can survive the death of the individual, it's as if a deceased person continued to live and act virtually; therefore, measures should be taken to prevent such a situation, moreover just talking about a virtual clone of a human being is already quite disturbing. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 17, 2026

Flood damage in southwestern France There are reportedly two victims in southwestern France due to recent flooding caused by a storm, the ground is saturated and unable to absorb water and the alert remains high for the Garonne River; then in general the whole country has experienced a period of warnings with eighty-one departments affected due to the water levels of one hundred fifty-four rivers an unusually severe situation and sometimes even a little rainfall is enough because the land is already soaked. To report shifting the attention to Italy the damage count in Calabria region from floods in the province of Cosenza and the shock over the collapse of a famous natural monument consisting of an arch on a sea stack on the coast in the province of Lecce in Salento in Puglia region, which had become a tourist attraction for its picturesque "postcard-like" coastal formation. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 16, 2026

Bad weather in some regions of Italy Disruptions in Calabria region in the province of Cosenza due to floods and landslides, resulting in evacuations, isolated families, damaged crops and difficulties. There are reports of the overflowing of the Busento, Campagnano, and Crati rivers. Near Rome a retaining wall collapsed due to heavy recent rainfall hitting an apartment building and causing one fatality, meanwhile the wave of bad weather is affecting other regions with various weather warnings. To report on a different note but still related to environmental issues there is controversy over the intention of the American authorities to repeal a regulation aimed at reducing pollutant emissions (based on a scientific report that identifies greenhouse gases as harmful to Americans' health), the goal is essentially to support the fossil fuel industry amid skepticism about transitioning to renewable energy sources. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 14, 2026

Damage from a storm in southwestern France A storm marked by heavy rainfall and gusts of wind exceeding one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour swept through southwestern France, with reports of storm surges along the coasts causing boats to sink and erosion; there were also for example floods from the Gironde River leading to inundated streets and towns, uprooted trees, and damage to infrastructure, eight hundred and fifty thousand homes left without electricity. To report shifting the attention to Italy that in Sardinia region navigation is difficult (a fishing boat recently sank) due to rough seas and strong winds affecting the coasts and causing disruptions, in Calabria region high waves continue to erode the coasts often in areas where major rail lines and roads pass; it goes without saying that their routes should be moved further inland and in protected area. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 13, 2026

A tropical cyclone lashes Madagascar There are reportedly at least thirty-one victims, thirty-six injured and over six thousand people evacuated due to the arrival in Madagascar after crossing the Indian Ocean of a tropical cyclone characterized by strong winds and heavy rainfall, there are reports of collapsed houses and serious damage in the city east of Toamasina (which has about three hundred thousand residents), followed by wind gusts that tore off roofs, fallen trees and debris. It is a kind of devastation with roofs blown away, collapsed walls and downed power poles causing power outages. According to weather forecasts the strong vortex could possibly lash the southwest coasts next week, authorities have issued alerts for three of the coastal provinces on the Indian Ocean. Last month over seven hundred thousand people were affected by floods. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 12, 2026

Initiatives to protect young people from Internet Data monitored on how adolescents are influenced by digital applications shows a clear increase in the distress experienced by the most vulnerable youngsters, especially during transitional periods considered critical for character development (with a brain not yet fully developed), therefore some propose initiatives for targeted interventions, educational programs and preventive actions; then enhancing digital security, providing psychosocial support, all to offer support at every level to the people involved for an effective protection against potential online risks. Banning the use of social networks for those under sixteen is already a regulation to be adopted for example planned in countries like France and Spain and generally the European Union aims not only at social networks but also considers banning artificial intelligence, although there is resistance to these initiatives. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 11, 2026

Floods and landslides in Colombia and Morocco At least thirteen people are reported dead and fifty thousand evacuated in Colombia due to floods and landslides following weeks of unusually heavy rainfall, there is talk of a kind of tropical storm likely fueled by the conditions favored by the global current "La Nina" which affected thirty-one out of thirty-two departments in the country. As for Morocco after a downpour a car was swept away by floodwaters causing four deaths and one missing person in the north of the country, then more than one hundred thousand people were evacuated from areas in the northwest of the country, with the Sidi Kacem region particularly affected. To report shifting the focus to Italy that the ground continues to collapse in Niscemi in Sicily region where a symbol commemorating a previous landslide also fell, furthermore several landslides have been reported throughout the country. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 10, 2026

Japan struggling with roof snow removal At least thirty-five people are reported dead and four hundred injured in Japan mainly due to falls from roofs while clearing snow, masses of cold Arctic air caused heavy snowfall especially in regions facing the Sea of Japan where snow accumulation in some areas reached record levels, creating difficulties and making roads hard to passable in addition to cancellations of rail services. Apparently it is common in the country to clear snow from roofs to prevent them from collapsing and accidents occur every year, but this year they are particularly frequent. Shifting focus to Spain significant damages from floods in Andalusia are noted while major disruptions for the population continue in areas affected by a storm. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 09, 2026

Abnormal hot and cold temperatures in Canada Two types of winter are occurring in Canada with areas of the country where trees are blooming and others covered by a thick blanket of snow with the cities of Vancouver and Toronto cited as examples of these climate anomalies, the first without snow for forty-three years and with cherry trees in bloom and the second very cold with a thick layer of snow, then there are places where ski and ice skating facilities have been closed and others where lakes have frozen over as well as places with alerts due to icy wind gusts and extremely low temperatures. A polar vortex characterized by cold Arctic fronts is said to be responsible for the waves of low temperatures which sometimes tend to weaken, this situation of abnormal temperatures (both in terms of cold and heat on average) has also been partially monitored in some European countries. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 07, 2026

Storm with flooding in Portugal The wave of bad weather that is battering some regions of Spain causing thousands of evacuations in Andalusia (particularly affecting the town of Grazalema with significant hydrogeological instability) has also affected Portugal; there is a report of one victim, a man swept away with his car by floods on a road in the Alentejo region in the south of the country, then hundreds of people forced to leave their flooded homes and inconveniences for the population dealing with impassable roads in areas affected by heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts. To report shifting the attention to Italy a risk that the important railway line connecting Calabria to Sicily could be damaged by storm surges along the coastal route; in fact, in one spot in Calabria the waves are already essentially reaching the tracks with an orange alert for storm surges. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 06, 2026

Bad weather in Spain in Andalusia A storm characterized by heavy rainfall, downpours and gusts of wind is affecting Andalusia in Spain, there is talk of a missing person and about three thousand five hundred people affected by flooding due to what is described as a sort of atmospheric river loaded with moisture, with the ground no longer able to absorb the water. Many roads are impassable and streams of water converge into raging torrents and infiltrate because the soil is too saturated and raising concerns about the very high river levels, then rescuers are busy responding to numerous calls for help. Weather forecasts warn of the possible impact of the storm on the Balearic and alerts have been issued to be cautious of bad weather across all the islands, a similar situation is occurring in Galicia across all provinces and with other areas of Spain experiencing the storm with lesser intensity. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 05, 2026

Floods in areas north of Morocco Days of intense rainfall interrupted by heavy storms have affected areas in northern Morocco with the city of Ksar El Kebir in the northwest of the country particularly hit due to the overflowing of the Loukkos River; reports mention over fifty thousand people evacuated (almost half of the residents) and rescues carried out by boat, causing significant problems for the population forced to move through flooded streets, then rescue operations are also ongoing in the province of Sidi Slimane. To report shifting the focus to Italy more rain is forecast in Niscemi in Sicily where a landslide is a concern and in general several inhabited areas are affected by hydrogeological instability, with a situation (similar to Calabria) that also requires addressing the dangers posed by rising sea levels and coastal erosion. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Feb 04, 2026

Pirates in jacket and necktie By now the traditional image of the pirates organizes in groups from corsairs armed of guns and knives to the cingula have yielded the step to the new predator dressed in jacket and necktie that is annoying the web (bandits that unload entire site and they identify the protection keys, steal the symbols, musics..), even with one name of all security that hides the deceit to before the tacking of click. As an example writing "salutary.eu" on a famous search engine between the entrance connections to the site www.salutistico.it, others do not authorize links appear between which also one to those in order to unload freewares, but that practically they turn out to payment through Dialer. Attention to the pirates, exploratory of the web Internet, sails in sure waters; in fact the Demo of the program "Well-being Body - Mind - Soul" deposited that it enjoys all the copyrights can unload free from my salutary.eu Internet site or salutary.eu compiling the appropriate card of recording (and subsequently with relative password communicated) and I dissociate myself from the use of my software to payment for whichever site different from the mine. To notice unfortunately that also writing "salutistico.it" for the original site, are visualized links truculent or trap. - Lately is disappeared the intere site from some search engines..
