    War: Mordor and very big warning
    • Shipments of Russian fertilizers for export have been suspended since December 1 due to the lack of licenses from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, several sources familiar with the situation told Interfax.

      "The shipments have been stopped, the declarations have been canceled. Those who did not manage to register the goods by December 1 cannot send ships," said one of the agency's interlocutors in the port industry. The situation is caused by the fact that exporters have not yet received an export license from the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

      "The ships are standing at the approaches to the ports, they cannot be loaded. The consignments accumulate in the seaports," another source in the transport industry describes the situation.

      Export licenses are promised to be issued around December 5-6. However, already now a number of plants for the production of mineral fertilizers, mainly nitrogen fertilizers, are forced to reduce the capacity utilization, he notes.

      “We hope that the situation will be resolved in the coming days without significant damage to export supplies,” says one of Interfax's interlocutors in the industry.

      Another source of the agency does not exclude that if the situation is not resolved, the industry may face a halt in production in the coming days.

      Seems like huge warning to our partners. As EU, Brazil and many other countries totally depend on Russian fertilizers.

    Coronavirus: mRNA vaccines will be integrated in food soon
    • The future of vaccines may look more like eating a salad than getting a shot in the arm. UC Riverside scientists are studying whether they can turn edible plants like lettuce into mRNA vaccine factories.

      Messenger RNA or mRNA technology, used in COVID-19 vaccines, works by teaching our cells to recognize and protect us against infectious diseases.

      One of the challenges with this new technology is that it must be kept cold to maintain stability during transport and storage. If this new project is successful, plant-based mRNA vaccines — which can be eaten — could overcome this challenge with the ability to be stored at room temperature.

      The project’s goals, made possible by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, are threefold: showing that DNA containing the mRNA vaccines can be successfully delivered into the part of plant cells where it will replicate, demonstrating the plants can produce enough mRNA to rival a traditional shot, and finally, determining the right dosage.

      “Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” said Juan Pablo Giraldo, an associate professor in UCR’s Department of Botany and Plant Sciences who is leading the research, done in collaboration with scientists from UC San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University.

      “We are testing this approach with spinach and lettuce and have long-term goals of people growing it in their own gardens,” Giraldo said. “Farmers could also eventually grow entire fields of it.”

    Good quote: On purpose of social networks
    • The main idea that a person is trying to convey to others is that he has access to much more prestigious consumption than one might think about him. At the same time, he tries to explain to others that their type of consumption is much less prestigious than they were naive to think. All social maneuvers are subordinated to this. Moreover, only these questions evoke persistent emotions in people.

    Energy: Green energy idea can come into unexpected catastrophe
    • Soaring prices for commodities, shipping, and energy all threaten the previously rosy outlook for renewable energy. The cost of polysilicon used to make solar panels has more than quadrupled since the start of 2020, according to the IEA.

      Investment costs for utility-scale onshore wind and solar farms have risen 25 percent compared to 2019. That could delay the completion of new renewable energy projects that have already been contracted.

      More than half of the new utility-scale solar projects already planned for 2022 could face delays or cancellation.

      And note - now China and West still tightly control resources and energy prices. If they had been proper - all green energy projects had been already canelled.

    TV sales continue to drop
    • Global Q3-2021 TV unit shipments declined 14.7% from the same period in 2020, and are expected to drop further in Q4-2021 in most regions of the world as the lingering effects of supply chain disruptions continue into the Holidays, according to data recently issued by market research firm TrendForce.

      The firm’s latest full-year TV shipment forecasts show global unit shipment volume down year-over-year by more than 10% for the full year and down 12% for the second half of 2021.

      According to TrendForce data, quarterly TV shipments in Q3-2021 came in at 52.51 million units, down 14.7% from last year, when pandemic related lock downs and government stimulus measures boosted demand beyond normally predictable levels.

      It is interesting how carefully it is all arranged.

    Mordor: Internet became free utility
    • From today, telecom operators are obliged to provide free connection to socially significant sites. So far, the law means "State services", sites of state bodies and local governments, as well as social networks ("VKontakte", "Odnoklassniki", "Moi Mir"), services of "Yandex", sites of Russian Railways, some banks, TV channels and the media, largest online shops, forums, museums and libraries. The detailed list includes about 800 sites.

      Users do not have to pay for traffic when connecting to these sites, this includes mobile networks.

      In case of a zero balance, the subscriber will also be able to access the resources.

      List includes around 90% of sites that normal people are using everyday, and note that it does not have any western sites.
