The CO₂lumnist: Carbon scopes participating at the Tokyo 2021 Olympics
22-07-2021 | Column
Investors rely on data to make decisions on climate strategy. But the data is far from perfect, and it doesn't always add up. In the first of a new series of columns taking a more light-hearted look at the issue, and as the Olympics begins in Tokyo, Robeco data scientist Thijs Markwat draws parallels with trying to figure out the heptathlon.
Markwat
This summer, for the first time in history, the modern Olympic games takes place in an odd year. I am not a big fan of athletics, and I have never ever watched athletics outside of the Olympic games. But for some reason, during every Olympic edition, I always tend to watch parts of the athletic heptathlon.
I find it very impressive for one single person to be proficient in so many different disciplines. The different events that make up the heptathlons are show in the table below. Interestingly, the heptathlon differs quite a bit between men and women.
Climate investing: from urgency to solutions
Women (outdoor)
Men (indoor)
100 meters hurdles
60 meters hurdles
200 meters dash
60 meters dash
1000 meters dash
The main difference between the men's and women's heptathlon is the location – the women's is outdoors while the men's is indoors. This also explains a bit the different events between men and women, as javelin throwing in an indoor venue might not be the smartest idea. The indoor location also limits the sprint distances to 60 meters. At the end of the Olympic heptathlon, after all heptathletes have completed the seven events, one athlete receives the gold medal.
But how to decide who the winner is? Clearly, scores of different events cannot simply be summed into a total score. For example, adding a 2-meter high jump to a 22-second 200 meters dash score… would that make sense? Of course it doesn't. Therefore, a special scoring system was developed by the mathematician Karl Ulbrich to make different events comparable and addable.
For the remainder of this memo I am going to simplify matters and only look at the long jump, the high jump and the shot put, which are the common events in both heptathlons. Let's now look at the women's heptathlon records for these three events, as shown in the table below.
These results are all expressed in meters and thus, at least technically, can be added up. But still, we could argue about the meaning of the 26.6 meters. Does adding the outcomes of the high jump, long jump and shot put makes any sense? To get some more insights in the interpretation of this total score, I have added the column 'spread'.
This number indicates the common range of outcomes. So, high jumps usually vary between 1.7 and 2.0 meters, while shot puts generally vary between 14.2 and 17.3 meters. There is a clear positive relationship between the distance and spread of the events. Thus, events covering a larger distance have more impact on the total score. Therefore, if scores are blindly added in this 'triathlon', a top ranking in the shot put seems to be a prerequisite for victory, while the high jump is just in there for show.
It doesn't always add up
Does the fact that you can add things up imply that you should add things up? No of course not, but this is exactly what happens with carbon accounting! Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions can technically be added as all are denoted in tons of CO2.
In terms of size and spread it is actually pretty accurate to state that scope 1 emissions are like the long jump, scope 2 emissions like the high jump, and scope 3 emissions like the shot put. Scope 3 emissions are much larger and also have a much larger spread. Therefore, like the shot put in the example, the only thing that really impacts aggregated carbon emissions are scope 3 emissions. And like the high jump, scope 2 (and to a lesser extent scope 1) is just in there for show.
Thus, instead of blindly adding scopes, a method should be developed to make the scopes comparable like they do for heptathlons! Obviously, for carbon accounting, this method should ideally resolve the severe double counting issues in scope 3. However, this will be very difficult to achieve, and therefore an alternative scoring system could be a great (intermediate) solution. But remember, blindly adding all scopes is like only including scope 3.

10 Teraflops on Polaris, is not comparable to 10 Teraflops on Navi. Just like 14 Teraflops on GTX 2080 Ti isn't comparable to the 20 Teraflops on the RTX 3070.
They are the same architecur, btw. You haven't done much research obviously.
A demo and where even the demo could manage 1440p and 30 FPS overlooking how we've all seen demo's in the past that never match what happens in a real game. Like the Luminous demo or Samaritan demo's, Dawn Ultra demo, Halo 2 Lift demo or that Project Milo demo all staged with the studio in complete controls even if in so-called real-time I go what happens in-game when the player in control of the action and when the game needs to factor in player actions and movements the true test of any game and hardware
And its not like Hellblade 2 demo didn't look any worse than Unreal's 5 own, but let's see In-game what it really looks like when the player takes control
PS5 doesn't do 1440p, so stop making shit up. And neither of these console will be doing Ray Tracing at 4k/60 without upscaling. They don't have that kind of horsepower.
The demo was using real time player movement, on real hardware. The stuff you're talking about was more than likely running on a dev kit, or just a PC.

fortunately for me that I found the Playstation proposal interesting, the PS5 is a more powerful console than the xbox, it is evident that, teraflops are silly things as were Bit in the past.
the playstation architecture allows a higher fill rate and this is not related to floating point, the ssd saves a lot of memory so both consoles do not use the 16GB in the same way, the use of the PS5 makes it more practical, while xbox to make matters worse still has that bottleneck in memory.
this xbot narrative that it will improve is just an illusion for MS to continue selling consoles and at the same time keep those who bought the Series X with self-esteem, perhaps this is the console with the most fake marketing since the Atari Jaguar and its Do the Math.
I think Microsoft should focus on game pass and leave this matter related to '' power '' aside, as with each new game the xbox will run worse and worse generating a lot of negative advertising for the brand.

From looking at the videos I don't think the SSD is the problem, other than some slightly slower load times. A faster SSD wouldn't fix the framerate issues in Devil May Cry and Assassin's Creed. Unless that memory bottleneck is really bad these might just be software issues. I'll give Sony credit where it's due however, they are off to a great start while MS looks like they should have waited a few more months to release.

I really don't get your point over Ray tracing at Native 4K at 60 FPS . I never made any such claim
Panzer Dragoon Zwei is
one of the best 3D shooting games available
Presented for your pleasure
[stuff]
Still missing the point..
I'll give you prime examples of 2 different GTX 460s that had different performance. The launch GTX 460 came with 256-bit VRAM memory, while the V.2 GTX 460 came with 192 bit VRAM. The second version was substantially slower, despite having the same amount of pixel pipelines. Even overclocked it was slower.
What??? That example has nothing even remotely close todo with what's being discussed. Seriously, what..
It's lowest point is 1440p, but it is not being displayed at that resolution, because the console doesn't currently support it. Epic games has never demoed their graphics engine on a console. It's always been on PC, so expecting the much weaker console to achieve that is unrealistic.
A quote from your article.
"When GPU load gets high we can lower the screen resolution a bit, and then we can adapt to that. In the demo, we actually did use dynamic resolution, although it ends up rendering at about 1440p most of the time."
Dropping to 1440p doesn't bode well, especially at just 30 FPS and without ray-tracing. However, Epic claims the demo was to show off Unreal Engine 5's tech and "trade-offs" to deliver specific resolutions, frame rates, and features will be up to developers. On ray-tracing specifically, Epic Games confirmed that it was not used in the PS5 tech demo but it will be supported in Unreal Engine 5.
That being said, the demo was doing light sourced objects much better than any sort of Ray Tracing we've seen in the current games available for both consoles. Black Ops was only doing shadow traced Ray Tracing, which a far reach from what we've seen in the likes of Control and Battlefield V.
You were nitpicking the resolution of the Unreal 5 engine for using (as low as)1440p resolution, as if the consoles are actually capable of doing true 4K rendering at a better fps.
A Black Falcon: no, computer games and video games are NOT the same thing. Video games are on consoles, computer games are on PC. The two kinds of games are different, and have significantly different design styles, distribution methods, and game genre selections. Computer gaming and console (video) gaming are NOT the same thing."

this partially explains the reason for the PS5 outperform xbox, there are other reasons such as higher fill rate, fill rate and geometry are clock sensitive when multiplying the ROPS numbers by the clock the PS5 gets bigger also there are chips in the ps5 for compression and decompression than in the xbox is made by cpu and many other undisclosed secrets, MS wanted to sell numbers and is therefore embarrassed.
The xbox started very well, it is an incredible machine but unfortunately it was overcome by the genius of Mark Cerny, the narrative of the tools is just a silly narrative created by MS and vocalized by its opinion makers to maintain the self-esteem of those who bought xbox thinking that it would be more powerful than the PS5, MS made many mistakes in the communication so it will pay for each one of them, it would be more honest they lower the price of the xbox because if they keep the same price they will not sell, they want to use the narrative of tools that be, but they will be humiliated in every faceoff
Microsoft, devs and people connected to devs know that the xbox is delivering everything it can, if any dev says something positive or supports the narrative of the magic Tools is for pure diplomacy.
They removed the phrase: most powerful console and exchanged it for most powerful xbox
they did this a few months ago because hardware issues cannot be fully resolved by software.
It's lowest point is 1440p.
That being said, the demo was doing light sourced objects much better than any sort of Ray Tracing we've seen in the current games available for both consoles
All being said it was a graphics demo to a product that will never see the light of day as a full game product and was a graphics demo to show off the Engine for developers.
You were nitpicking the resolution of the Unreal 5 engine for using (as low as)1440p resolution
Do you mean saying the truth?. I've not made any wild claims over console games using Raytracing effects in large parts at 4K and 60 FPS. Some PC users have to dial down effects if they want some games to run at 4K with Raytracing at 60 FPS and that's on good rigs as we've seen on the likes of Control or Metro. So sorry I'm not expecting £450 console's to outdo high PC's for effects when the GFX card costs the same just on its own.
All I've said is the Xbox Series X GPU and CPU are more powerful than the PS5 GPU and CPU, which I think is factually quite true.
another faceoff Digital Foundry, xbox worse again
it's natural that MS doesn't accept that it was caught by surprise by a better engineering solution
But the games are being launched and showing this to the public
I hear what you're saying but an SSD wouldn't explain stuff like screen tearing in Assassin's Creed
This is a software issue, it looks like the game is writing to the wrong buffer or something.
And yet you don't seem to understand what that demo is showing. It's an engine that is doing things not possible using traditional graphics rendering through your GPU. Even at double the CU cores of what the 6800 XT has, it wouldn't be possible to do that level of global illumination using brute force GPU rendering. All of the graphica calculations and assets are stored within the files on the SSD. The GPU has very little to do with what is being displayed.
I've ran Ray Tracing on Metro Exodus. Even a 2080 Ti will struggle with that level of Ray Tracing, and it certainly wouldn't be doing it at 4K/60.
Well, you're acting like (why even bring up the resolution?) because it's not being rendered at 4K/60, that it isn't impressive. When there's no way that much more powerful PC hardware wouldn't struggle with that level of graphics, doing it on its own.
No, because you can't base graphical power upon one single figure, or even 2. If the system it's on isn't balanced, those numbers won't amount to much other than cock swinging. And know how good Sony's 1st in-house development is over Microsofts, Sony will squeeze more out of what they have than MS.

Sony and Nintendo are the absolute best out of getting the most out of their hardware. This was never a strength of MS. Ninja Theory while I think their games are bad,NT can make some very good looking games. So that maybe the studio to flex the muscle of XSX...if they didn't have XSS to deal with. This talks about how polygon budgets are no more with that demo https://www.polygon.com/2020/5/13/21...ics-epic-games
Life!? ... What console is that on?

Nintendo always impresses me with what they can do with their hardware but it usually takes them awhile to reach that point. I wonder what would have happened if they'd launched the Wii U with games like Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8, instead of bundling it with NSMBU. Which is a decent game but it hardly pushes the hardware, other than the resolution it probably could have run on the Gamecube.

Konami Debunks Presence of Malicious Patch That Disables P.T.
Konami responds to the rumored killswitch patch for the Playable Teaser of the canceled Hideo Kojima Game Silent Hills. Originating from a Reddit post earlier this week, a rumored patch for the mentioned teaser was said to have been unleashed making the playable teaser unplayable. The act was said to have been another attempt to remove any trace of Hideo Kojima from Konami. This, however, has been debunked by Konami in a recent statement the company has provided to IGN (see quote below).
"After our investigation we can confirm that there have been no Konami or PlayStation Network(PSN) update that would have affected or prevent access to the game."
This means that P.T. fans can put their worries to rest as it seems that there are no plans for any patch or update by either Konami nor PlayStation for the said teaser. Moving forward, video game enthusiast Yong Yea states that for precautionary measures, he himself disables the auto-update feature of his PS4 that contains the copy of Kojima's canceled game. This is due to Konami's history of removing any trace of connection of the iconic creator in their company. Check out his video below for more information and stay tuned for more gaming news and updates.

Th human and rat C5 (Fig 1B).Histomorphologic evaluationSections (6? mm) of paraffin-embedded synovial tissue obtained from animal models of arthritis were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and examined by two independent observers by using magnifications ranging from 256 to 400x. The degree of histomorphologic tissue damage was quantified by assessing a cumulative score resulting from the evaluation of different parameters related with the occurrence of the arthritic damage. Following a previously described method of analysis [22], the extent of joint inflammation was scored as follows: degree of synovial hyperplasia, from 0 to 2 (1? lines of regularly shaped synoviocytes = 0; 3? lines of irregularly shaped synoviocytes = 1; more than 5 lines of hypertrophied cells = 2), extent of leukocyte infiltration, from 0 to 3 (no infiltration = 0; scattered few infiltrating cells = 1; more diffuse infiltration, in a surface area ,50 of the examined visible field = 2; a higher degree of tissue infiltration, or follicular aggregations = 3), presence of vascular lesions, from 0 to 2 (no lesions = 0; vasculitis or thrombosis in less than 50 of the visible/field vessels = 1; the same lesions in more than the 50 of the visible vessels = 2), percent diffusion of tissue fibrosis, from 0 to 3 (no alterations = 0; a 25?0 loss of the fat tissue component of synovial membranes = 1; more than 50 loss of the synovial fat tissue component = 2; complete Fexinidazole biological activity derangement with 100 loss of synovial adipose components = 3). At least four buy Bromopyruvic acid specimens obtained from each treated knee joints were examined.In vivo characterization of DNA encoding for anti-C5 neutralizing antibodyIn vivo DNA delivery and transfection was achieved by using DMRI-C reagent. The pUCOE vector encoding the recombinant molecule MB12/22 was purified and after appropriate reaction with DMRI-C was directly injected in the right knee of three groups of rats. As a control DMRI-C transfection reagent alone in PBS was administered to the left knee. The efficacy of Cationic lipid-mediated gene transfer was evaluated analyzing the synovial cells for the presence of DNA encoding MB12/22 by PCR at different time points after transfection. As shown in Figure 2A, DNA encoding the scFv-Fc was present in the synovial tissue. The peak was documented 3 days after DNA challenging in the right knee of all treated animals while it was absent in the controlateral knee and in other organs of the rats (data not shown). The presence of the antibody in the synovial fluid was also evaluated at protein level by western blot. Fig 2B shows the band corresponding to the miniantibody MB12/22 detected at day 3 after DNA injection in the lavage obtained from the right knee of 3 rats. The band was hardly detectable at day 7 while undetectable at day 14 in the right knee as well as in the left knee throughout the whole period of observation (data not shown). Histological analysis of synovial tissues revealed a normal structure and the absence of inflammatory cells, indicating the low toxic effect of DNA injection (Figure 3). Rat sera were also collected and analyzed for complement activity that remained unchanged after treatment (data not shown).Statistical analysisThe results were expressed as mean6SD. Data were compared by ANOVA using post-hoc analysis for paired multiple comparisons with Fisher's corrected t test. A nonparametric MannWhitney test was used to determine the significance of differences between tissue damage scor.Th human and rat C5 (Fig 1B).Histomorphologic evaluationSections (6? mm) of paraffin-embedded synovial tissue obtained from animal models of arthritis were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and examined by two independent observers by using magnifications ranging from 256 to 400x.

Learn How To Import Spatial Files Into Azimap GIS.
This guide will teach you how to import two shape (zipped) files and how to perform spatial analysis.
Name your new map and save.
Select the create / import button, this is accessible on the map using the button on the layers tree view.
Drag and drop to the DnD area the earlier downloaded zip files. It's important to highlight that Azimap supports zipped and non zipped files.
Select Save to import the layer, this may take a few seconds. The larger the dataset, the move time will be required to import the data, however the application will email the system administrator once the the data has been imported successfully.
After successful import the map will load with the default styling of red squares and grey polygons.
Intersects this will return a result if two geometries "spatially intersects in 2D"
The 'Save results as new layer' allows you to add the layer to the map and into your data catalogue for future use.
To perform any of the above spatial analysis just follow the process in Step 5 but choose you applicable option from the Spatial Function section.
Creating selection buffers is slightly different - you must select the radius of your buffer after choosing the 'buffer select' function.
In this query I have selected a random power station in France and set a 1000km buffer zone.
This results in only the resulting answers being shown on the map.
The wizard creates query SQL for you however if you know SQL syntax you can write your own advanced select queries by either editing the output of the wizard or choosing the advanced radio button.
Note: Strings should be surrounded by single quotes, double quotes are used by us to signify table and column names.
The SQL query box can now be typed into - to search for Reactors of type 'Pressurised Water'.
We can combine wizard generated queries with our own amendments.
The results in the below filtered dataset.
Let amend the query by adding year of construction between 1970 and 1979 inclusive. For this example we will utilise the SQL between command which is inclusive.
Lots of building going in France in the 1970s and 1980s.


The core of the Institute's mission is providing high-level data collection, social science research, and legal analysis that complements LDF's litigation and policy advocacy. The Institute's Fellows Program engages scholars and experts to produce cutting-edge research on civil rights issues, including education, economic justice, criminal justice reform, and political participation. Institute Fellows provide consulting services, subject matter expertise, ad hoc research, and drafting support on various projects within the Institute or within LDF's litigation or policy departments. Fellows also provide in-depth research reports, studies, or statistical analysis for the Institute or for LDF. Additionally, Fellows serve as thought partners with Institute staff and LDF senior management in designing an innovative research agenda that advances Institute's work to address civil rights issues.
In 2016, the Institute selected Richard Rothstein and Dr. Phillip Atiba Goff as Senior Fellows. Mr. Rothstein, who has served as a research associate at the Economic Policy Institute and a Senior Fellow at the Haas Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, has conducted research on the history and effects of housing segregation and disparate transportation access, among other issues. In 2017, Mr. Rothstein published Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How Our Government Segregated America, detailing how residential racial segregation in the United States was created and reinforced by federal, state, and local policies. Dr. Goff, who is the Franklin A. Thomas Professor in Policing Equity at John Jay College and the co-founder and president of the Center for Policing Equity, has focused his research on the psychology of bias in the criminal justice system. His research explores how racial inequalities in housing, employment, education and healthcare contribute to systemic injustice in policing practices. It also examines ways in which environmental factors can produce racially disparate outcomes.
In 2018, Professor Megan Ming Francis was named as the third Institute Fellow. Professor Francis, who is an associate professor of political science at the University of Washington, is conducting research regarding present-day voting rights challenges in the context of the history of southern politics, as well as the development of the southern criminal justice system after the Civil War. She is also working on a new book about that post-war era, examining the role of the criminal justice system in the rebuilding of southern political and economic power.

Rebel, 1911
Wingspan c.32-50mm.
A single record of this species was trapped at light in November 1995 at Praze-an-Beeble, Cornwall, by Adrian Spalding, and remains the only British record.
The species occurs naturally from North Africa eastwards to Asia, and occasional presumed migrants have been noted in some parts of southern Europe.
The arrival of the British record occurred during a period of migrant activity elsewhere in the south-west.


An old stone quarry haulage way running from the converted ammunition depot of area of Monkton Farleigh through to the old abandoned stone workings of Browns Folly Mine.
Full access as part of Browns Folly mine but the Monkton Farleigh end is now likely to be blocked as it leads into a storage company's underground storage area.
From behind the district 20 fan chamber an old stone quarry adit runs off into the old workings below Browns Folly Mine. This tunnel was sealed off in 1943, but in 1989 the owners of Monkton Farleigh at the time broke into it to photograph it. They had to break through a 4' thick concrete wall to get into the tunnel. For most of its length it is clear, but the last two hundred feet or so is packed full of backfill, and it took nearly two years to dig through into the extensive old workings beyond.
During construction of the ammunition depot this was the only way into 20 District, but it became redundant when the 19/20 drift was excavated.
Browns Folly Mine is an average sized Bath Stone quarry which was originally part of Monkton Farleigh Mine however when the War Department converted part of the quarry in to an ammunitions store they separated part of the quarry which is the area now known as Browns Folly.

As we move into the post-2015 era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world faces many seemingly intractable problems. Malnutrition should not be one of them. Countries that are determined to make rapid advances in malnutrition reduction can do so. If governments want to achieve the SDG target of ending all forms of malnutrition by 2030, they have clear pathways to follow. There are many levers to pull, and this report provides many examples of countries that have done so. Tackling malnutrition effectively is also key to meeting many other SDG targets. Good nutrition signals the realization of people's rights to food and health. It reflects a narrowing of the inequalities in our world. Without good nutrition, human beings cannot achieve their full potential. When people's nutrition status improves, it helps break the intergenerational cycle of poverty, generates broad-based economic growth, and leads to a host of benefits for individuals, families, communities, and countries. Good nutrition provides both a foundation for human development and the scaffolding needed to ensure it reaches its full potential. Good nutrition, in short, is an essential driver of sustainable development.
Few challenges facing the global community today match the scale of malnutrition, a condition that directly affects 1 in 3 people. Malnutrition manifests itself in many different ways: as poor child growth and development; as individuals who are skin and bone or prone to infection; as those who are carrying too much weight or whose blood contains too much sugar, salt, fat, or cholesterol; or those who are deficient in important vitamins or minerals. Malnutrition and diet are by far the biggest risk factors for the global burden of disease: every country is facing a serious public health challenge from malnutrition. The economic consequences represent losses of 11 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) every year in Africa and Asia, whereas preventing malnutrion delivers $16 in returns on investment for every $1 spent. The world's countries have agreed on targets for nutrition, but despite some progress in recent years the world is off track to reach those targets. This third stocktaking of the state of the world's nutrition points to ways to reverse this trend and end all forms of malnutrition by 2030.
As we move into the post-2015 era of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the world faces many seemingly intractable problems. Malnutrition should not be one of them. Countries that are determined to make rapid advances in malnutrition reduction can do so, and the incentives to improve nutrition are strong. Good nutrition provides a vital foundation for human development, central to meeting our full potential. When nutrition status improves, it leads to a host of positive outcomes for individuals and families. Many more children will live to see their fifth birthdays, their growth will be less disrupted, and they will gain in height and weight. They will learn more in school because their brain function is not impaired. As a result of this positive early environment, as adults they will have better jobs and get ill less often. Older adults will age more healthily and live longer.
In its fourth year, the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health (A4NH) has many accomplishments to be proud of and much to look forward to. By the end of 2015, biofortified staple foods had reached approximately 15 million people. The aflasafe™ approach for controlling aflatoxins was registered in Kenya, Nigeria, and Senegal, with country investments secured to scale it up. The successful Together for Nutrition initiative expanded from India to Ethiopia, bringing together a range of nutrition stakeholders. The Global Nutrition Report (GNR) 2015 was released alongside the launch of the Sustainable Development Goals, building off the success of GNR 2014 to guide nutrition action. Our research portfolio is expanding to include food systems and we are exploring new collaborations with public health partners. Our country and regional engagement contributes to agricultural programs and policies that can better achieve nutrition and health impacts. We also hear loud and clear from the development community that achieving these outcomes is a priority, and that doing so at scale requires making agriculture and other sectors more nutrition and health-sensitive.
This 2012 Global Food Policy Report is the second in an annual series that provides an in-depth look at major food policy developments and events. Initiated in response to resurgent interest in food security, the series offers a yearly overview of the food policy developments that have contributed to or hindered progress in food and nutrition security. It reviews what happened in food policy and why, examines key challenges and opportunities, shares new evidence and knowledge, and highlights emerging issues. In 2012, world food security remained vulnerable. While talk about hunger and malnutrition was plentiful, it remains to be seen whether current and past commitments to invest in agriculture, food security, and nutrition will be met. New data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations suggest that the world will fall short of achieving the first Millennium Development Goal of halving the prevalence of undernutrition by 2015. Translating commitments into action is thus even more urgent.
An Evidence-Based Reference Book: a Key Resource for Decision Makers and Practitioners. Exploring the multifaceted, multidisciplinary and complex world of breastfeeding, breast milk and lactation. This book provides a factual, scientifically robust overview of the key topics written by leading experts at the heart of breastfeeding and breast milk. It aims to empower decision makers and practitioners with the knowledge required to increase promotion, protection and support for breastfeeding and the use of breast milk. This book is a compilation of evidence-based feature articles covering one of nature's most valuable resources – breast milk. Based in Zug, Switzerland, the Family Larsson-Rosenquist Foundation is an independent charitable organisation that promotes research in breast milk and lactation.
The World Trade Report is an annual publication that aims to deepen understanding about trends in trade, trade policy issues and the multilateral trading system. Each year, a new aspect of world trade is analyzed in detail. The World Trade Report 2014 looks at four major trends that have changed the relationship between trade and development since the start of the millennium: the economic rise of developing economies, the growing integration of global production through supply chains, the higher prices for agricultural goods and natural resources, and the increasing interdependence of the world economy.

Russia Is Making Flying Saucers. DUN-DUN-DUN!
Russian company Locomo Sky is in the process of building a fleet of cargo hauling aerostat aircraft that resemble UFOs. Conspiracy theorists everywhere are salivating with anticipation.
Russia's latest endeavor to produce commercial grade lighter-than-air aircraft seems a little strange. The "aerostatic thermoballasted vehicle" from Locomo Sky looks like something straight out of a 1950s UFO movie. The flying saucer shape isn't just for show though, it helps the aerostat travel through the air with a minimum loss of energy to air resistance. According to their press release, Locomo Sky has started building a construction facility in the Ulyanovsk region of Russia to create a fleet of the aircraft. These airships, more commonly called Locomoskayners, are already used in geographical surveys. That version of the craft has a 1000kg (2200 lbs) carrying capacity with a crew of 2-8. Locomo Sky is hoping to build a huge version of the Locomoskayner that would have a 600 metric ton capacity or even carry 11,000 people. The company presented this idea recently to President Dmitry Medvedev, reportedly with good results. With millions already invested, it seems possible that Russian skies may be filled with flying saucers hauling cargo very soon. It sounds too wacky to be true, but it is. Check out a simulation video of the large Locomoskayner in action after the break.
Thanks to Gringo.Comtv.ru for the video. Can't say that the audio really helps me take this seriously though.
BEWARE THE RUSSIAN FLYING SAUCERS!
Russians and flying saucers. The future of cargo transportation?


This article is about minerals which do not even have to be compact to be difficult for the body to digest.
Normal life goes this way: The soil is rich in minerals, but eating soil doesn't work for humans because these minerals are not in a form we can easily digest/absorb, and besides, a serving of soil will not impress your dinner date in the least.
A plant, such as a vegetable, grows and absorbs some of these nutrients. Plants can, and do, obsorb this stuff but not only that, they convert it into a form that is digestible. That is why the likes of veggies are good for you — the minerals they provide as well as vitamins.
So the starting point of this little circle of life is the goodness in the soil. If that goodness is not there, then the plant won't get it and neither will you! You hear about farm soil not being as rich as it used to be from being over farmed. I do not have any info that this is the case. I personally do not know but have to assume there is some truth to it and I therefore supplement my intake to be on the safer side.
Okay so what about supplements? The same thing applies! They are hard to digest unless something special has been done to them to change their form.
Many years ago I purchased and took Dolomite pills. They were essentially calcium and magnesium. The bottle stated how much of each was in each pill. What it didn't say (maybe they didn't know back then) was that it was basically rock that had been ground up and made into a pill. I do not know if a body could absorb any of it but I think at best only a small percentage. And "no" the grinding of it would not even come close to making it more digestible. For example it does not matter how fine sand is, you cannot stir it to a point where it dissolves.
The fact (or promise) that a pill dissolves quickly has NOTHING to do with its actual absorption into the bodies system in such a way that the body can utilize it to strengthen bones etc. Statements like "quickly dissolves" are almost meaningless.
There are seven major minerals you must have to sustain life. These are Calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, sulfur, sodium and chlorine. You are probably toast without them.
There are over 75 trace mineral needed in very small amounts for what one would call optimum health. The seven are needed in larger quantities but not in all the same amounts and of course amounts differ from body to body.
– There is even a calcium tablet that is exclusively derived from plants.
Eating lots of plant food will give a lot of what you need mineral wise without you having to worry too much about the over 75 trace minerals but it does depend a lot on the soil. Just eat more veggies and fruit to make up for it – I mean it!
I do supplement several of the "big seven" especially when doing sports in the heat. More on that later too.

Lightact can use a variety of audio inputs. Usually, it's for audio analysis and audio visualizations, but you can also just re-route them to an audio output.
The first step in using them is to insert an Audio Input node in the Devices (F7) window.
When the node appears, select the Source device and then check the Streaming checkbox.
A green Connected label should appear.
That's all we had to do in the Devices window. Now, let's create a new layer and open its layout.
Insert an Audio Input Reader node and an Audio Player Node and connect them as shown above.
Select the Audio Input Reader node and, in its properties on the right, select the Audio Input node you created in the Devices window.
Then, select the Audio Player node, and in its properties on the right, select the audio output you want the audio to be sent to.
This should be it. If you press play (or hit spacebar) you should hear the audio input on the audio output device you selected.

Three locals and a dog hailed heroes after rescuing elderly man from River Barrow in Carlow

Three brave locals and a dog are being hailed as heroes this morning after rescuing a man from the River Barrow in Carlow.
Yesterday afternoon the man, who's understood to be in his 70s, was walking along the Barrow Track in Carlow Town when it seems he suffered a stroke, which caused him to collapse and fall into the river.
Local man, Cillian Coakley had just passed him while walking his dogs and he was the first to jump into the river after him when one of his dogs, Rio, alerted him to what had happened.
It was Cillian's shouts that then got the attention of joggers, Gillian Hegarty and Sharon Buggy, who were on their lunchbreak from Seery's Bakery in Graiguecullen.
Sharon has told KCLR News what happened next:
"When we came down, we jumped in as well. I pulled him up from the shoulders, and Gillian and Cillian pushed him up because it was kind of up a bank.
"At that time, we were on to 999 – they were on speaker. We weren't sure whether we could move him or not really, and they just said take him out of the water and just put him on his side.
"He was unresponsive for a while… We were waiting for about 15 minutes or more for the ambulance because they couldn't really get out to us or find us, even though we could hear the sirens. Eventually he did come right."
Sharon also says some of the credit has to go to Cillian's dog, Rio, who was the first to notice something was wrong:
"He was just walking the dog and he literally had just passed [the man] and said hello, and his dog stopped – just suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked behind because he probably sensed something.
"Cillian said he didn't even hear him falling into the water, he didn't hear a splash or anything.
"It was the dog that noticed, which is amazing really!"
KCLR News understands that the man is recovering in hospital now.
Rio, the hero dog

Hollywood Liberals Have Georgia on Their Mind
Posted by: Jeff Crouere in ABORTION, ENTERTAINMENT, FEATURED ARTICLES, POLITICS, SUPPORT A FREE USA!, U.S. NEWS, WATCHMEN ON THE WALL June 3, 2019 2 Comments 7 Views
By Jeff Crouere
In a bold move, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp recently signed the pro-life legislation known as the "fetal heartbeat" bill. This will protect the life of an unborn baby after a heartbeat is detected, approximately six weeks after conception.
As a result of this move, much of Hollywood has erupted in anger and is threatening a boycott of the state. The good people of Georgia should say "good riddance" to these lunatic liberals who want to impose their progressive ideology on the rest of America. In fact, Dallas Pastor Robert Jeffress said that Hollywood has become "blinded by evil" in their embrace of radical pro-abortion and progressive policies.
While Hollywood has been promoting a liberal message in their productions for decades, the industry is becoming more progressive every year. Sadly, it has become much worse in the era of Donald Trump. The problem for Hollywood is that many of the consumers of their products are conservatives who disdain their liberal propaganda.
Georgia is a "red state" that attracted Hollywood productions due to a generous 30% tax credit. Now, Disney, AMC Networks, WarnerMedia, Netflix, Sony Pictures and NBC/Universal are threatening to leave the state if the "fetal heartbeat" bill "goes into effect." Disney CEO Robert A. Iger claimed that it would be "very difficult" to continue working in the state of Georgia because too many employees would boycott productions.
Although Disney is worried about the "fetal heartbeat" law, it is seemingly not concerned about doing business in China, which is engaged in regular censorship and repression of human rights. Disney opened Shanghai Disney in 2016 and Iger gushed about possibility of opening another one in China soon, promising that "we're going to look."
While Disney is troubled that Georgia has a new law protecting human life, it is not upset at China's polices which include the denial of basic freedoms of speech, assembly, or the right to practice religion. China also does not allow free elections and regularly detains and harasses minority groups such as Tibetans.
Of course, as Roe v. Wade has not been overturned and abortion is still legal in all 50 states. In the meantime, Georgia's new law will not take effect until next year, and it will certainly face legal challenges which will delay the implementation. Thus, this debate is mostly an academic exercise; however, it is worthwhile to understand the massive gulf between Hollywood values and the values of the people of Georgia.
Hollywood is aggressively pro-choice, while most Georgia residents are pro-life. In Georgia, President Trump has millions of supporters. In the 2016 election, he handily defeated Hillary Clinton by a margin of over 200,000 votes.
Of course, the vast majority of Hollywood hates Donald Trump. Almost every day, a Hollywood star such as Robert DeNiro, Alyssa Milano, Cher or George Clooney makes a threatening or insulting comment about the President. Democratic presidential candidates love Hollywood for the industry provides plenty of financial support. The top stars regularly host lavish fundraisers for White House contenders such as former Vice President Joe Biden, who recently raised over $700,000 at a Hollywood gala attended by an array of top producers and industry titans.
Far from the Beverly Hills Democratic Party fundraisers, 92,000 Georgia residents are earning paychecks working on movies, TV shows and other entertainment industry projects. According to recent estimates, Hollywood provides an economic investment of over $9 billion for the state of Georgia. Nevertheless, it is a business that promotes liberal values in countless films and TV programs. Hopefully, this will lead to a reexamination of the welcome mat that Georgia has rolled out for the industry.
For Pastor Jeffress, the decision is clear, the people of Georgia "should let them go and don't let the door hit them on the backside if you know what I mean." He considers the mentality of industry leaders, such as Disney, to be especially evil. Jeffress believes that Disney supports "the murder of their future audience. That is not only not good morals, it's not good business either. They are absolutely insane. They are blinded by evil in their support of abortion."
As religious leaders and conservatives encourage Georgia to take a stand against Hollywood values, supporters of the film industry are encouraging the boycott. In the view of Michael Taylor of the University of Southern California's Media Institute for Social Change, the proposed Georgia boycott is "the right thing" for Hollywood, even though it might not be "a good financial decision" for the industry.
He claimed that if a state like Georgia tries to "undo" Roe v. Wade, the film industry should do the "right thing," which means to "take a position and take your money elsewhere."
As Hollywood threatens a boycott, pro-life moviegoers and TV viewers should also "take a position" and spend their "money elsewhere." This is the best way to send a message to an industry that is so committed to abortion rights and the entire progressive agenda.

Meanwhile, back in Georgia, nobody gives a rat's ass what Hollywood thinks.
Hey Hollywood, while you are at it, stay out of Ohio if you are going to continue to sacrifice to Molech. We have enough blood on our hands and don't need more help. Governor DeWine, don't you dare offer those propagandists a tax break!
