7.3.b The Pond of Molentargius and the nest-building of the Pink Flamingos in Sardinia

Among Cagliari, Quartu Sant'Elena, Quartucciu, Selargius and Monserrato, in the damp zone of Molentargius they have been nesting by now for different years the pink flamingos, red people.

The flamingos frequent the ponds Sardinians from different centuries, even if, actually to some years ago, they were not stopped in Sardinia during the period of the reproduction, at least according to the studies that actually go up again to 1700. Sardinia in fact he was considered important as zone of standstill and wintering of the kinds that in the south of France the "Camargue" have a point of fixed reference. From the 1993 part of the flamingos they have adopted the Pond of the Molentargius as point of reproduction.

In 1994 the flamingos have reused the nests of the preceding year restructuring them.

In 2002 we have assisted to an increase of the nest-building of the pink flamingos in the damp zone of the Molentargius, with the birth of almost 3000 pulli, so the chicks of the flamingos are called.

A particular thanks goes to the association for the protection of the animals that in this case, as in so many others, they have succeeded in giving a great contribution of that of the institutions. In the other protected zones of Sardinia we also find the nest-buildings of the rider of Italy, of avocetta, of codone, of hawk of swamp, of royal eagle, of bittern; the colonies of herons; as well as the presence of rare kind as the Sardinian macaone awry Arcosu.

The pond of Molentargius and the Bella Rosa Minor. Toward the end of 1950 the basin oriental north of the pond of Molentargius said note Bella nibbled Small, served as box of expansion of the tributaries Riu Mortu (Monserrato), Brook of Selargius and Brook Is Cungias (Quartucciu) with a surface of 17,6 kmqs. Been Born to protection of the salt pans it picked up deriving sweet waters from the inhabited centers of the neighboring communes, in case of flood waters were poured again on the channel of Terramaini.

The Bella Rosa Minor, damp and rich zone of aquatic avifauna is not anything else other than a part of the pond of Molentargius (around 70 hectares), it is possible to find: the chicken sultan, the rider of Italy, the gallinules (water-hen and moor-hen) of water and, as we have remembered above, the pink flamingos.

SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) is a law of the United States proposed in 2011 to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods. Proposals include barring advertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with allegedly infringing websites, barring search engines from linking to the sites, and requiring Internet service providers (ISP) to block access to the sites. The bill would criminalize the streaming of such content, with a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
User-content websites such as YouTube, but not only, would be greatly affected, and concern has been expressed that they may be shut down if the bill becomes law. Opponents state the legislation would enable law enforcement to remove an entire internet domain due to something posted on a single blog, arguing that an entire online community could be punished for the actions of a tiny minority. The 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) includes the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act, the copyright owners are required to request the site to remove the infringing material within a certain amount of time. SOPA would bypass this "safe harbor" provision by placing the responsibility for detecting and policing infringement onto the site itself.
This is serious problem Freedom of speech and Freedom of information: The president Obama, mentioned on the Texas Insider: "will not support legislation that reduces freedom of expression".
On October 28, 2011, the EFF called the bill a "massive piece of job-killing Internet regulation," and said, "This bill cannot be fixed; it must be killed."
Nancy Pelosi is far from the only member of Congress opposed to the legislation. On Tuesday, ten members of Congress signed a "dear colleague" letter expressing concerns with the bill. The signers were nine Democrats plus Republican Ron Paul, a libertarian-leaning candidate for the GOP presidential nomination.
SOPA, they write, is "overly broad and would cause serious and long term damage to the technology industry, one of the few bright spots in our economy." The representatives warned that SOPA would result in "an explosion of innovation-killing lawsuits and litigation."
Also opposed to the legislation is Republican Darrel Issa. "I don't believe this bill has any chance on the House floor," Issa told The Hill on Wednesday. "I think it’s way too extreme, it infringes on too many areas that our leadership will know is simply too dangerous to do in its current form."
