The little prince is nine years old!
Prince George will celebrate his ninth birthday on Friday (July 22). It's worth noting: the British mini-royal looks more and more like her father, Prince William (40)!
To mark the day of honour, Kensington Palace has released a new golden photo of Prince George (whose full name is George Alexander Louis). The photo shows the young prince with a big smile – a happy moment captured by his mother. Duchess Kate (40) is an avid photographer and keeps posting pictures of her family on the royal Instagram page on special occasions.
Prince William joined his eldest son Prince George in a competition to mark the Queen's 70th birth anniversary in June. The official title of George is His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge. The little man is also addressed as "Royal Highness".

Also on the occasion of the fourth birthday of George's brother Louis, who turns four in April, mama Kate took a picture on the beach – in Norfolk, where the family has a home.
triple luck
Prince William and Duchess Kate are parents to three children: In addition to Prince George and Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte (7) is also part of the family. The little ones are the great joy of the royal couple. "I am very focused on my role as a father," William said in an interview to the BBC. "I want to show my kids as much love as I can."
It is not yet known what the Queen's great-grandson will receive on his birthday. However, his mother made the birthday cake herself. "I love making cakes myself. It's almost a tradition that I stand in the kitchen until midnight, with ridiculous amounts of cake batter and frosting, and use up pretty much everything. But I love it !" Kate once told reporters.

When Nat King Cole Moved In
The entertainer found his dream home in picturesque Hancock Park—but the neighborhood had a dark side.
In July 1948, singer Nat "King" Cole and his new wife, Maria, were just beginning their lives together. The legendary crooner of standards including "The Christmas Song," "Nature Boy," "Mona Lisa," and "Unforgettable" had spent the last decade of his young life on the road, and he was eager to settle down and start a family. When they were not traveling, he and Maria, a singer and socialite of impeccable lineage, made-do by staying at LA's Watkins Hotel. So, Maria hired a real estate agent named Joe Bradfield, and the couple started looking for a grand home fit for a king.

Chemistry Student Seeks to Revolutionize Chocolate Through Research
9-Nov-2015 4:05 PM EST, by New Mexico State University (NMSU)
NMSU student Danielle Peltier is conducting research on how to make milk chocolate using alternative milks, such as goat, almond and soy, for people on vegan diets or with food allergies. Peltier hopes to eventually sell her chocolates online or at NMSU's Sam Steel Cafe.

NMSU chemistry student Danielle Peltier works on her research project studying whether chocolate can be made with alternative milk powders, such as goat, almond and soy. She hopes to eventually sell her chocolates at NMSU's Sam Steel Cafe or online.
NMSU chemistry student Danielle Peltier developed a chocolate recipe using powdered coconut and goat milk as part of her research project, studying whether chocolate can be made with alternative milk powders.
Newswise — Danielle Peltier's mom often tells her she didn't send Peltier to New Mexico State University to become the next Willy Wonka.
But, all on her own, Peltier has begun a research project that could change the way people with vegan and dairy-free diets enjoy chocolate, especially milk chocolates.
"I'm trying to find new ways of making lactose-free chocolates using different types of milk, because right now all milk chocolate is made with whole dairy milk," said Peltier, who is also an NMSU Track and Field athlete. "We're working on making ones with goat milk, almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk and stuff like that."
So far, Peltier is working on perfecting her recipe for milk chocolate made with powdered coconut and goat milks. The result is a delicious creamy milk chocolate with a mellow coconut flavor, but the chocolate melts too quickly in the eater's hands.
"It's harder to make chocolate than it seems, but once you learn how to make it it's like nothing," Peltier said.
Peltier said the idea for developing chocolates made with alternative milks was created while taking a three-part class on chocolate in the Honors College. She said she enrolled in the class due to her love of chocolate, which she has yet to grow tired of even after a year of working on her research.
The course looks at the role chocolate has played in the history of Meso-America, the science of chocolate and the commercial and artisan manufacture of chocolate. The history of chocolate goes back 4,000 years and is intertwined with the cultures and religions of the Aztecs and Mayans and their conflicts with the Spaniards.
Professor Stuart Munson-McGee, a faculty member in the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences Family and Consumer Sciences Department, teaches the chocolate class and has been working with Peltier on her chocolate research. He said the science of chocolate is excruciatingly precise. Chocolate processed at a temperature that is a degree too high or too low, or any slight misformulation, results in an unacceptable candy.
Munson-McGee said the idea for Peltier's research stemmed from a class conversation about milk chocolate and how it has to be made with powdered dairy milk, a recipe that prevents many people with food allergies or on vegan diets from enjoying it.
He said during the conversation, Peltier discovered powdered goat, coconut and soy milks available for sale online, and she asked if she could work on a project to make chocolate with those alternative milks.
Although Peltier started her research on her own, she's now receiving course credit for her work. Munson-McGee said the project has gone through a lot of trial and error.
"We've gotten rid of the initial grittiness of the chocolate, but now it melts at a low temperature and we're trying to figure out why," Munson-McGee said.
Peltier said she's also experimenting with exactly how much cocoa butter needs to be added to her goat- and coconut-milk chocolate recipe to make it the perfect consistency.
"Once I have the base formula down, I can develop other formulations like goat milk and peanut butter," Peltier said.
In the meantime, Peltier and Munson-McGee are looking into conferences or programs about chocolate making that Peltier can attend to help further her research. They are also looking into mass-producing the chocolates to sell online or in the Sam Steel Cafe at NMSU's Gerald Thomas Hall.
Munson-McGee said he hopes the chocolates will be available for sale next spring, but the chocolate production will need to be moved to an approved facility such as the Tejada Building, which now houses production for ACES In The Hole Foods.
"This is a great example of how our undergraduate students can collaborate with faculty members on interesting research projects," said Esther Devall, head of the Family and Consumer Sciences Department. "Danielle came up with a great idea about using alternative milks in making chocolate, and Dr. Munson-McGee is guiding her through the steps in the process. It will be exciting to have student-made chocolates to sell in the Sam Steel Cafe."
Peltier said she'd like to see enough consumer demand for her lactose-free chocolates to allow her to develop various flavors.
"I'd like to make different types of allergen-free and vegan chocolate, a broader range of chocolates for everyone to be able to enjoy," Peltier said.

Despite More Water Flows, California's Coho Salmon Spawning Numbers Plummet
Water, water, everywhere, nor any drop to drink
By Katy Grimes, January 13, 2020 7:14 am
"Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Nor any drop to drink."
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner. 1797–98
Despite higher water flows, biologists are reporting some of the worst spawning numbers in nearly a quarter century for Marin County's coho salmon, according to SPAWN, the Salmon Protection And Watershed Network, as reported by the national marine conservation nonprofit Turtle Island Restoration Network.
This is the result, despite allowing an amount of water equal to a year's supply for 275 million people flowed under the Golden Gate Bridge and out to the Pacific Ocean, as California Globe recently reported.
California allows more than 50 percent of its water to flow to the ocean for fish, consigning the second 50 percent to be used and rationed by agriculture (40%) and urban users (10%).
California voters have approved more than $30 Billion in water bonds, but the state's politicians put up roadblocks on new water storage, and instead push water rationing legislation.
California does not have a water shortage, but there is a shortage of common sense and decency in the state's lawmakers and public officials.
California Globe recently reported:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently updated the Endangered Species Act, which will result in bringing much needed water to agriculture and growers in California's Central Valley.
Under President Donald Trump's administration, radical Environmental Protection Act regulations have been thoroughly reviewed, relaxed, and some overturned.
Notably, as this process was underway, the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom took their own shot over Trump's bow with Senate Bill 1, the California Environmental, Public Health, and Workers Defense Act of 2019. "This bill establishes specified minimum federal environmental, public health, and labor standards as state baselines in the event the Congress or President repeals or weakens corresponding federal standards, and prohibits the corresponding California standards from falling below those baselines. In the event that new federal standards fall below the baseline, this bill allows private citizens to enforce state standards," bill analysis says.
What the bill would really do is send billions of gallons of water out to the Pacific Ocean ostensibly to save more fish, while farmers and ranchers were starved for water, even in maximum rainfall years.
Senate Bill 1, by Sen. President pro Tem Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), preemptively freezes water and clean air regulations to the final day of the Obama administration.
Assemblyman Jim Patterson (R-Fresno) Tweeted his displeasure with the passage of the bill: "SB 1 PASSED 45-22: Sac Dems wouldn't even listen to their colleagues in DC who are OPPOSED to #SB1. They know this bill freezes outdated bio opinions that put fish over farmers when there is newer data available. They voted for it anyway. Now it's up to Gov Newsom to veto."
The biggest misconception is that it doesn't rain enough in California. The fact is, it does rain, and it rains a lot in Northern California. It even rains in southern California. But rather than collect that water, we throw away most of it away.
Even with more water than ever, "only a total of 44 nests (called redds) were reported so far for Lagunitas Creek, San Geronimo Creek, Woodacre Creek and Arroyo Creek," Turtle Island Restoration Network reported. "This is despite above average rains that have allowed salmon to migrate upstream unencumbered, and excellent conditions for monitoring the population. While a few more nests may be recorded before the season ends in the next couple of weeks, few if any un-spawned fish have been seen in recent surveys."
"Marin Municipal Water District reported on Jan. 8 that the most recent survey documented only five coho and two new redds in Lagunitas Creek, San Geronimo Creek, and Devil's Gulch in the last week. The average for this time of year is about 50 coho and 20 new redds per week."
They don't give the reason for the declining salmon population, but we know that it isn't for lack of water, which is what was previously blamed by the Obama administration and California officials.
There is no water shortage in California; we just throw it away and then claim "drought!"

Good article Ms. Grimes. Not only does California let too much water flow to the ocean ostensibly for fish habitat but many of its reservoirs have to dump water before Spring comes because the reservoirs would overflow and might cause a flooding problem. Then California cognosenti tell the public that we don't need new water storage reservoirs or need to enlarge the existing ones. Water is a political football used by the Party in Power (D) to extort political approval for overkill environmental regulations ("you want your water sandwich, then you will have to like the environmental baloney we put in it").
Katy Grimes Editor says:
You're conflating Central Valley water issues with Coho Salmon. These fish don't go into the Sacramento-San Joaquin and the watershed you're talking about empties into Tomales Bay so it has absolutely nothing to do with water for "75 million people flowed under the Golden Gate Bridge and out to the Pacific Ocean". But way to associate a single data point of low Coho Salmon numbers with a wet year and somehow make that about water needs in central and southern California. Maybe try a quick google search of where Coho Salmon live before you start talking to representatives in San Diego and Fresno…

School Bus Gets Rear Ended By A Truck With A Naked Woman Passenger
Posted on Oct 6, 2014 3:55pm PDT
Seven students were taken to the hospital after a trailer-tractor crashed into the back of a school bus in Bradford County, Florida. The bus driver, the truck driver and the truck passenger were also transported to hospitals following the accident. The impact, thankfully, left no-one critically injured.
The school bus was carrying 15 elementary school students when it was rear-ended.
What made this truck accident more unusual was that female passenger in the semi-truck was naked at the time of the crash, reported FOX News (9.30.14). Troopers gave her a towel to cover up in front of the children.
Why the female passenger in the truck had no clothes on was unreported. One explanation for this could be that she was in the sleeper portion of the cab and was stunned upon impact.
As for the cause of the accident, speed and-or distracted driving could have played a role. Witnesses said the driver of the truck was going about 60 miles per hour when it struck the bus. One witness said the truck driver never hit the brakes. Luckily, the bus driver saw the semi coming in the rear-view mirror and tried to get out the way. She chose to speed up, possibly minimalizing the impact.
Distracted driving occurs when the driver of a vehicle finds his or her attention diverted from the primary task of driving. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), passengers are a frequently reported cause of distraction for drivers. When a driver is distracted by an occupant in his or her vehicle, this includes conversing with or looking at the passenger. The NHTSA data does not mention whether or not nudity is a frequent distraction for drivers.
Drivers may also engage in distracting activities such as eating and drinking, texting, using a navigation device, or dialing a cell phone. This behavior poses a major threat on roads in New York and across the United States. Distracted driving is one of the top causes of car accidents, but when a distracted driver is behind the wheel of a large and heavy truck, the consequences can be especially catastrophic.
Texting is a top cause of distracted driving accidents. Whenever a truck driver texts, he or she is 23.2 times more likely to be involved in an accident. In response to this danger, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) enacted a federal law to end some forms of distracted driving. The law specifically prohibits commercial motor vehicle drivers from texting while driving and from dialing a hand-held mobile phone by pressing more than a single button.
Lawsuits have been filed against drivers whose distracted driving caused injury to other people. In cases where the distracted driver was an employee on-duty at the time of the accident, lawsuits have also been filed against the employers alleging employer policies may encourage or condone unsafe driving practices.
The FOX News story cited is "Ten hurt after school bus rear-ended by tractor-trailer, female passenger naked."

Sam was brought up on long drives and the dusty fields of north-west New South Wales, where he developed his love of rugby from an early age. He joined ESPNscrum after a five-year stint heading up Fox Sports Australia's digital rugby coverage.
Can you get a read on the Waratahs? A week after their upset win over the Crusaders, NSW slipped to one of their more embarrassing defeats in recent memory in Newcastle on Friday night.
Admittedly under-strength due to the absence of some resting Wallabies, the Waratahs were beaten by the Sunwolves in the first ever Super Rugby match played in Newcastle.
Elsewhere, there were wins for the Crusaders, Blues, Rebels, Bulls and Chiefs.
Read on for some of the key talking points from the weekend's action.
Melbourne Rebels are the team to beat in the Australian conference.
Dave Wessels' side proved that with a 32-13 victory over Queensland Reds in Brisbane on Saturday night, completing one of the harder challenges in Super Rugby in winning immediately after a two-week tour of South Africa.
The build-up had of course centred on Quade Cooper's return to Suncorp Stadium and the Rebels fly-half certainly didn't disappoint. The former Reds favourite had a hand in two of the Rebels' four tries as he turned provider for winger Jack Maddocks.
"If you get two people who always agree, you've got one too many, haven't you? That's the thought process Scott Johnson will take into Wallabies selection meetings as he begins his new role as Australia's Director of Rugby.
The first five-pointer came from a pinpoint cross-kick that allowed Maddocks to soar above diminutive Reds fullback Hamish Stewart, while Cooper then showed off his football skills in twice toeing a loose ball ahead for the Rebels winger to grab his second.
Cooper's standout moment from a dominant all-round performance was a silky spin he used to bump off former teammate and good friend Samu Kerevi; the Reds skipper charged out of the line looking to put a shot on Cooper, only for the Rebels No.10 to pivot at precisely the right moment to absorb the hit and take off in the other direction.
Speaking post-match, Cooper chose not to rub his former teammates' noses in it, instead saying how he wanted the Reds to do well after a tough start to the season. Having won their last two games, over the Brumbies and Sunwolves, Saturday night's 19-point defeat was a real step backward for Brad Thorn's side who must now regroup for the visit of the Stormers on Friday.
While Cooper continues to mount a strong claim for a Wallabies recall, a couple of Rebels forwards must also be catching the eye of Michael Cheika and his fellow selectors Michael O'Connor and Scott Johnson, the latter whom finally began his role as Director of Rugby last Friday.
Cheika had already nominated Isi Naisarani as a likely Wallabies contender but the play of both Luke Jones and Anaru Rangi should not be overlooked in what is a hard-working Rebels pack.
Jones, in particular, must surely be inching closer to a Wallabies recall after returning from French club Bordeaux-Begles. In his second stint with the Rebels, Jones trails only Michael Hooper for the most number of tackles made by an Australian player this season and on Saturday night topped the count with 16.
His ability to cover both No. 6 and the second-row makes him an excellent bench option but he is certainly playing well enough to be considered for a starting spot at lock.
While Cooper and teammate Will Genia pulled the strings in the Rebels' win in Brisbane, it was hard not to feel for stand-in Waratahs playmaker Mack Mason who endured a horror night in his first start in two years as NSW were upset by the Sunwolves in Newcastle.
The result shouldn't have come as too much of a surprise given the Japanese side went within a missed drop goal of victory in Tokyo in their earlier clash in Round 2, but the memory of that narrow escape had been washed away by the Waratahs' dominant victory over the Crusaders last week.
But NSW were a shadow of that team against the Sunwolves, who seem to be playing with a freedom that belies their looming Super Rugby exit. Samesi Masirewa showed his speed and finishing ability in the two-point win by grabbing a hat-trick, while Hayden Parker's metronomic left-boot shows no sign of slowing, the fly-half maintaining his astonishing 100 percent success rate from the kicking tee.
Parker nailed four conversions and a penalty goal, including one sideline stunner that calculated for a stiff Hunter Valley breeze beautifully. It was a far cry from Mason's night however, the Waratahs No.10 making a meal of his rare appearance in the absence of the resting Bernard Foley.
Sonny Bill Williams has, by his standards, done it tough over the last couple of years.
He was barely sighted by the Blues last season before managing just the five Tests for the All Blacks, two of which ended in him leaving the paddock with injury.
It had some pundits questioning whether the code-hopper's career might be coming to an end, that stints in the NRL and a handful of boxing bouts had finally taken their toll on one of the most impressive athletes of his generation.
But that all was put on hold three weeks ago when the Christchurch terror attacks shocked New Zealand and Williams, as a proud Muslim, quickly became a key figure in the healing process.
Shortly after the attacks had taken place, an emotional Williams took to Instagram to express his heartbreak at what had happened. But where other athletes may have left it at that, Williams instead asked for leave from the Blues and promptly travelled to Christchurch to visit those in hospital who'd survived; the veteran back acting as a voice for the Islamic community at a time when others were too distraught to do so.
Back on the field at the weekend, Williams also delivered for the Blues when the team needed it most. Locked in a physical battle with the Stormers at Eden Park, the Blues needed Williams to provide some spark off the bench. He didn't disappoint.
With the game still very much in the balance at 10-9, Williams produced one of his trademark offloads to put Otere Black over inside the final quarter. The hosts still had to survive the red-carding of Taniela Tele'a but another five-pointer, this time to Rieko Ioane, saw them finish the stronger and earn a third straight win.
Coach Leon MacDonald later praised his side's grit, but it was Williams, who stood up and delivered, just as he had off the field over the past fortnight, that really steadied a shaky Blues ship.
A third victory on the trot, and the Crusaders' bounce-back win over the Hurricanes, leaves the New Zealand conference wide open behind the two-time defending champions. Without a win two weeks ago, the Chiefs are back in the hunt after sweeping their two-game tour with a last-gasp match-winner against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires.
The Chiefs now have the bye, while the Blues welcome the Waratahs to Auckland on Saturday night in what will be one of the games of Round 8.
How do teams best manage player rest weeks?
Might Rassie Erasmus be picking up his mobile phone this week, especially after witnessing the Bulls and the Sharks go toe-to-toe in a physical and spicy derby at Jonsson Kings Park, where the competition points were decided eventually by a last-minute scrum penalty to the hosts — or a couple of missed kicks by Robert du Preez if you hail from Durban.
The physical nature of the game will not concern the Springboks coach, for his players must be attuned to that high level of contact and intensity ahead of the abridged Rugby Championship and, later, the Rugby World Cup, where his side opens its campaign against New Zealand. But all roads lead to Japan this year, and Erasmus might feel the need to remind the South African Super Rugby coaches of their responsibility to the Springboks' campaign in terms of player management.
Erasmus said after Round 3 that South African Rugby's collective player management plan, designed to put national team interests above Super Rugby ambitions ahead of the World Cup, could be tested in the coming months. He said then, at a media conference in Cape Town after a Springboks 'Alignment Camp' for Stormers players, that the program to balance the workload of key individuals was off to "a good start" but "when we get to round seven, eight, we will see which players are being played too much".
Erasmus, wearing his Springboks kit, now has to judge what level of workload is "too much" because we are at "round seven, eight" and he might conceivably fear key players are being played too much.
"There hasn't been one coach who has said they will not back us in terms of our World Cup planning," Erasmus said at the conference in Cape Town.
Bulls coach Pote Human said that week, two days later, that he would rest some of his key Springboks players after his team's fixture against the Sharks at Loftus Versfeld that weekend.
Makes sense, and not unreasonable.
Except that Pollard, Brits and Vermeulen, as well as Jesse Kriel, each started that game against the Sharks and both of the Bulls' two fixtures after the bye — against the Chiefs at Loftus and then against the Sharks, again, in Durban. Vermeulen sustained a knee injury against the Chiefs, but recovered well enough to play at Kings Park, where he, Pollard and Kriel each played the full 80 minutes. Brits would have played more than 57 minutes had he not been given a red card, alongside his counterpart, Aker van der Merwe, while Sharks prop Beast Mtawawira was also involved for 50 minutes.
Coaches absolutely need their best players in key fixtures such as the Sharks-Bulls match in Durban, but the South African teams each play six likely brutal derbies as well as games home and away against the Jaguares and then eight more matches against New Zealand or Australian opponents; so where are the coaches to make the rotations? Factor in the travel to and from Argentina plus the tour of Australia and New Zealand, and it's a tough workload.
That timing of the rotational selections likely is not Erasmus' call, as he'll be leaving the Super Rugby coaches to judge where and when the picks can best be made without upsetting their teams' hopes of making the playoffs.
The problem that Erasmus may feel he faces, however, is that key Springboks players have not yet been rested – at least not for reason of rotation rather than injury.
Kriel, Damian de Allende, Pollard, Elton Jantjies, Pieter-Steph du Toit, Siya Kolisi, Malcolm Marx and Mtawawira have each featured substantially in all six of their teams' fixtures to date.
Eben Etzebeth and Aphiwe Dyantyi — likely also certain Springboks starters in their opening Rugby World Cup fixture against the New Zealand All Blacks in Yokohama on September 21, subject to form and fitness -would surely also have been more involved than four games and two respectively had they not been injured (both) or failed a concussion test (Etzebeth). Warren Whiteley and Lood de Jager also would have made more than two starts apiece had they not sustained injuries, the latter being rubbed out of the Bulls' remaining Super fixtures.
Brits also has started six games, while Bongi Mbonami has started five and played 30 minutes off the bench in the other.
Steven Kitshoff, Frans Malherbe and Wilco Louw have each missed games, because of injury rather than rotation, but Stormers coach Robbie Fleck does have the option to rest and rotate them because of the enviable depth he has in his props.
South Africa's Super Rugby teams each still have nine matches to play, and Erasmus is likely to want his 'key Springboks players' each to sit two fixtures – in line with the New Zealand protocol – although the number to be 'sat' under the collective player management plan has not been made public. So there's still plenty of time, but we're at the "round seven, eight" marker nominated by Erasmus.
The Stormers face Queensland Reds in Brisbane in Super Rugby Round 8, while the Lions are back from the bye to host the Sharks, and the Bulls play the Jaguares at Loftus Versfeld; it may be interesting to see the line-ups named for this week's fixtures.

Tedi López Mills
Notes from a Poetry Festival for My Friend With The Crippled Dog
Translated by David Shook
In addition to her work as one of contemporary Mexico's most critically esteemed poets and essayists, Tedi López Mills is herself a translator, of poets including Anne Carson and Gustaf Sobin. Translating a poet as competent in the target language as you are (actually, I often suspect Tedi speaks better English than I do) can be an intimidating task, but in our case it has proven fruitful, as Tedi's experience as a poet-translator informs her understanding and appreciation of my endeavours to make her poems work in English.
If López Mills' 2009 verse narrative Death on Rua Augusta, which won Mexico's prestigious Xavier Villaurutia Prize, with its noir- inspired psycho-narrative propulsion, marked a seminal departure from her prioritization of traditional lyricism, her most recent book of poems, Friend with the Crippled Dog (Amigo del perro cojo), from which this series of poems was taken, forms something of a bridge between the two modes of writing. These five poems, which form one of the book's several chapter-like sections, immediately struck me as appropriate for Modern Poetry in Translation and the London Book Fair's showcase of Mexican literature. Unusually honest in their description, they don't deny the artifice, boredom, and excess of the public literary life, but process that mundaneness with the poet's ear for language and enough detachedness to allow for an ironic appreciation without a suffocating cynicism or despair. As the narrator imitates her fellows in questioning the African who sings (a character I'm pretty sure I've met at literary encounters of my own) I've done my best to imitate López Mills in English.

Cepea, January 3, 2022 – Cotton prices have been in an upward trend since mid-2020, and, in 2021, they hit the highest nominal levels of Cepea series. Increases are linked to higher international values, high dollar levels against Real and to the increase of the export parity, which also hit a record in the year, in a scenario of lower domestic production and firm international demand. Moreover, the high share of the production already traded through contracts to export reduced the availability in the spot market.
From December 30, 2020 to December 27, 2021, the export parity moved up 48%, boosted by the 8.68% dollar increase against Real and the Cotlook A Index, which rose by 47% in the same period. In the partial of 2021, the first contract at ICE Futures upped 44%.

Legal access to medical marijuana is associated with lower rates of moderate and high-risk opioid use, according to a recent study—the latest in a string of research to come to the same conclusion.
Researchers analyzed prescription data on nearly 5 million people from 2006 to 2014, and they found that patients living in states that have legalized medical cannabis were less likely to take prescription painkillers, even after adjusting for various individual and state-level factors such as whether a state had a prescription monitoring system in place.
"Medical marijuana legalization was found to be associated with a lower odds of any opioid use," the study found.
The results were published on Friday in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
In general, patients were less likely to take opioids if they lived in a state with medical cannabis (19.3 percent) than those in non-legal state (19.9 percent). Chronic opioid use was also lower in legal states (1.8 percent) than non-legal states (1.9 percent).
The study considered different subgroups as well, looking at patients who didn't have cancer and also pain patients who didn't have cancer. The study revealed a similar trend: lower rates of opioid use in states with medical marijuana.
For that latter group, opioid use was generally lower in legal states (33.5 percent) compared to non-legal states (34.7 percent). This group was also less likely to use opioids long-term in legal states (4.5 percent) than non-legal states (4.8 percent), which is important because chronic use is more likely to result in patients building a tolerance to opioids that leads to misuse.
High-risk opioid use—defined as taking opioids and benzodiazepines at least once on the same day, taking painkillers that contain 120 morphine milligram equivalents or being diagnosed with a substance use disorder within the same year of being prescribed opioids—was also lower in legal states (5.1 percent) than non-legal states (5.6 percent).
"This study indicates that legalizing medical marijuana is associated with lower use of opioids and opioids used chronically across states, broadly, and in subgroups of cancer patients and cancer-free groups with chronic pain," the researchers wrote.
There are multiple recent studies supporting this conclusion. For example, a research released in November demonstrated that it's not just a question of whether a state enacted a medical cannabis system; lower opioid overdoses occurred specifically in counties where dispensaries were allowed to operate.
