Using Soilets in temporary settlements ( refugees or people displaced by events) would allow for recovery of enough nutrients to establish trees for food, shelter, fodder or fuel.

If you haven’t read Ed Zitron’s forensic research into the so-called AI revolution, and like me have many questions that our politicians refuse to answer, and our corporate owned MSM refuses to properly investigate, you will be surprised to learn that things like Data centres and AI Growth Zones are actually massive Ponzi schemes fleecing public money, while wreaking havoc on critical infrastructure. wheresyoured.at/where-are-all-…

Il mondo salvato dalle nonne🧵 Norvegia. Il Fondo Sovrano Norvegese, il più grande fondo al mondo, di proprietà al 100% dello Stato, dopo le pesanti critiche sugli investimenti in società israeliane implicate in crimini di guerra, ha disinvestito da 35 società ma ha mantenuto la partecipazione in altre 29 società israeliane. Ha mantenuto anche gli investimenti nel settore degli armamenti come Leonardo e Thyssen Krupp che forniscono armi all'esercito israeliano. Un gruppo di nonne attiviste norvegesi "Grandmothers Against Genocide" (GRAG) ritiene che il Fondo violi il diritto internazionale e pertanto denuncia per complicità nel Genocidio i vertici del Fondo e dello Stato: il primo ministro Jonas Gahr Store, il ministro degli esteri, il ministro delle finanze Stoltenberg, l'amministratore delegato del Fondo, la governatrice della banca centrale e altri. La denuncia viene archiviata, ma le nonne non si arrendono. Chiedono aiuto a eminenti giuristi norvegesi in materia di diritto penale e internazionale poi riformulano le denunce. Il Fondo Sovrano - riporta la denuncia - appartenente allo Stato, ha violato le leggi norvegesi che recepiscono le disposizioni dello Statuto di Roma contro il genocidio. Gli investimenti in società israeliane rappresentano un alto rischio di contribuire a crimini di guerra, come anche le azioni in aziende produttrici di armi. I pubblici ministeri hanno ritenuto le denunce degne di indagini e hanno incaricato la Kripos (Servizio Investigativo Criminale) di avviare le indagini e di notificare alle persone indagate di essere sotto inchiesta. Uno dei giuristi consulenti delle GRAG ha detto: "I vertici del governo sono probabilmente consapevoli dei crimini di diverse società possedute in parte dal Fondo. Potrebbero essere legalmente responsabili di aver favorito e agevolato uno o più reati. Marianne Bergvall, fondatrice delle Grandmothers Against Genocide ha dichiarato: "Continuare a investire è un segnale chiaro che inviamo a Israele: tutto ciò che fate è accettabile" Sui politici norvegesi ha detto: "L'enorme portata degli investimenti non è solo immorale, ma è anche criminale e i responsabili dovranno rispondere davanti alla legge" Viva le nonne! middleeasteye.net/news/criminal-…

@hc_heavycrypto @SamaHoole Like this proposal! Fines just get paid by the customers.

@SamaHoole Unfortunately that's not the only case like this The only sanction for those scumbags should be a forced confiscation of the assets of the company direction board (not a company fine).Refuse=loose of citizenship and a définitive interdiction to work for anything medical. Severity

In 1999, Merck launched a new anti-inflammatory drug called Vioxx. A triumph of marketing. Easier on the stomach than ibuprofen, the adverts said. Suitable for arthritis, back pain, period pain, anything that ached. By 2003 it was earning Merck around 2.5 billion dollars a year and had been prescribed to roughly 80 million people worldwide. Internal Merck documents would later show that the company had evidence by the year 2000 that Vioxx significantly increased the risk of heart attack and stroke. They knew. They had the data. They had emails between executives discussing how to manage the data. In one memorable email, a Merck scientist describes what to do about researchers raising concerns: "We may need to seek them out and destroy them where they live." Vioxx was withdrawn in 2004. A peer-reviewed analysis published in The Lancet by an FDA whistleblower estimated that the drug had caused between 88,000 and 140,000 serious cardiovascular events in the United States. Tens of thousands of people died. Merck paid roughly five billion dollars in settlements. The drug had earned them more than that. Nobody went to prison. The company is still trading. Its shareholders did not lose money. Its executives did not lose their jobs. The medical journals that published the favourable trials were slow to retract anything, and in several cases never did. The doctors who prescribed Vioxx were not told the data had been concealed. The patients were not told either. They are simply not here any more. Every time someone asks why I'm sceptical of the next blockbuster drug being pushed through with thin trial data and aggressive marketing, I think of Vioxx. Look it up. It isn't a conspiracy. It's a court record.

Agree with the sentiment, but as an ex-dairy farmer and milk processor, getting milk that hasn’t travelled hundreds of miles to reach you is rare. Buying from an organic neighbour with a vending machine is £1.60 a litre- still worth it.

A massive new hyperscale data center project called Stratos is planned for Box Elder County, Utah. If built, it would demand up to 9 gigawatts of electricity, more than twice the total power consumption of the entire state. But the real shock comes from the waste heat. According to Utah State University physics professor Robert Davies, the facility would generate an additional 7 to 8 gigawatts of heat, creating a total thermal output of roughly 16 gigawatts concentrated in one location. That energy release, Davies calculated, is comparable to detonating 23 atomic bombs per day in Hansel Valley, a high desert basin near the shrinking Great Salt Lake that naturally traps heat like a bowl. The project’s energy footprint would also be roughly equal to that of 40,000 Walmart Supercenters. Local temperatures could rise by about 5°F (2.8°C) during the day and a staggering 28°F (15.6°C) at night. Ecologists warn that such dramatic warming would stress an already fragile ecosystem, worsen toxic dust from the drying lakebed, and disrupt plants, wildlife, and water resources. As the backbone of artificial intelligence, data centers are essential for every AI query, image, and training run. The Stratos project now raises a critical question: Can the massive infrastructure behind AI expand without permanently transforming, and overheating, the communities and landscapes where it’s built?

Wheat exploded in price yesterday (limit up) after USDA forecast that over 8 million acres of HRW (Hard Red Wheat) will be abandoned in the Great Plains That's 37% of planted acreage reported in the March Prospective Planting report, and means U.S. farmers this year will harvest their smallest wheat crop since 1972. This comes on top of already record-low planted acreage heading into the season (lowest since 1919 in some metrics). Global supplies are tightening too. Expect bread, pasta, baked goods, and processed foods to climb in the coming months — and pressure on livestock feed could push meat/dairy prices higher as well. This is another brick in the wall of rising food costs. Grow your own food — that is the answer. Stock seeds, expand the garden, learn to preserve, and connect with local growers.

@Heccles94 Our political parties are bought and dictated to by each of their 'friends of Israel' lobbying groups and Lawyers. From all walks of life and professions there is power and influence. This is insane and it's sinister in every way you look it. We all know they are NOT terrorists

@Heccles94 I can smell the Zionist bots being poked from here! History will show these brave, principled young people were trying to raise awareness of UK complicity in genocidal atrocities.

This is utterly insane and deplorable. This needs stopping.

So I’ve lived in Hillsboro, Oregon for 10 years. Drove around today and tonight and shot this myself. This is what the “Data Center Plains” looks like.👇 My town sits at the end of 6 transpacific sea cables connecting the US to Asia. That’s why 30+ data centers landed here. They’re everywhere. Spread across the entire north and west end of the city. Road after road. Building after building. Miles of it. And they keep building. Pushing further west every year into farmland that’s been here for generations. Buying up land, Giving mass amounts of money to home owners to move, Tearing down homes. Tearing down historic sites. $7.2 billion in exempted property taxes. Some of these finished buildings are literally sitting completely dark… PGE told them no power for 3-5 years. They still built them anyway. A power plant is now going up right next to the data centers because they maxed the local grid. There are families still living next to construction zones. Old farmhouses directly across the street from data center walls. Nobody asked the people who already lived here. These are the families who refused to leave, so they said we are just gonna put them up next to your houses anyway. A pioneer homestead from 1865, 190 years of continuous farming is about to be gone, NTT Global Data Centers got that land tax-free until 2051. Signed in a single day at City Hall. Intel, the employer that actually brought thousands of real jobs here is laying off locals at the same time. This sound runs 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. My electricity bill went from $80 to $150. Water rates are set to increase 105% over 5 years, critics say to fund data center infrastructure, not residents. Data centers aren’t a joke. Just wanted to share my first hand experience with them. #datacenters

Does nobody realise how deeply Andy Burnham is involved in the scam that Freeports and SEZ's are costing taxpayers £64 billion+? He is not the squeaky clean politician he is being made out to be. Burnham has kept this quiet hasn't he - BlackRock's joint venture (JV) with the Greater Manchester Pension Fund (GMPF), the UK's largest Local Government Pension Scheme. Announced in late March 2026, the partnership targets up to £1 billion in UK primary healthcare real estate (NHS-leased GP surgeries, primary care centres, and related facilities) by 2030.

Just had a week driving in France. Many miles on all grades of roads. One pothole. Two discarded cans. No filthy, algae obscured road signs. There was one overflowing bin, on a bank holiday. No wonder their school children are learning other European languages, not English.

This roadside verge reveals: A total absence of personal responsibility A rejection of the notion of community pride A failure of legal enforcement against criminals A complete embarrassment for Britain It cannot go on. @benonwine

Half a million homes worth of gas a year, flared (burnt) or just released into the air - where it does great climate harm. Many right wing commentators and government advisors like to bang on about constraint payments to wind energy (when it needs turning down or off) - where are they on this issue? Silence. edie.net/uk-wastes-300m…

Oh for goodness sake. It doesn't even matter. With something this dangerous, at this stage of an outbreak, you should simply *assume* that it's highly transmissible, and then dial back later. My word. The incompetence here is stratospheric.

I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX. @BSAT_Properties

Like I said a couple of days ago: Thousands of people have already been exposed on flights that have headed in every direction across the globe.

@TF_Global Probably explains why tree tubes encourage early, but soft growth - when the saplings reach the top they have a shock!

Trees need to be shaken to build strong trunks. Raised in still air, they fail. The mechanism is called thigmomorphogenesis: plants respond to mechanical stimulation by altering their growth. A tree that sways in wind grows shorter, wider, and produces denser wood than the same species grown in a greenhouse or behind a windbreak. The physical stress of bending triggers hormonal responses that thicken the cell walls and reorient the wood fibers. The trunk is essentially being stress-tested as it grows and responding by overbuilding in the stressed dimension. Trees transplanted from nurseries where they were sheltered from wind often fail structurally in their first years in exposed conditions, not because they're sick, but because their wood was never asked to resist anything. A forest also protects its members collectively. The outer trees bear more wind stress and grow accordingly; the interior trees, protected by the outer canopy, grow taller and faster. The edge trees sacrifice growth for structural strength so the interior trees don't have to. A forest is a distributed load-bearing structure. Remove the outer trees and the interior ones, suddenly exposed, face conditions their wood was never built to withstand. #nature #forestfacts #science
