When Leisa and Tony Sams bought a farm and set about reconnecting bushland that had been divided for a century, they never imagined where it would lead them. Seven years later, they are producing an award-winning range of pure raw honey infused with flavours including organic ginger, turmeric, lemon myrtle, rose petals, chilli, cinnamon, lavender, finger lime, vanilla beans, truffle, and black garlic. “We actually started not because of a desire to have a honey business,” Ms Sams said. “We did a Land for Wildlife project on our 300 acres [121 hectares] at Peachester, on the Stanley River, with the goal of revegetating and securing a wildlife corridor from our back ridgeline through to the river. “With the help of a grant and Sunshine Coast Council’s environment officers we sat down and… Source link

Doesn’t failing to show up usually get you fired? In the days when my dad was a councillor in Pickering, and then Chair of the Durham Board of Education, the paycheque was an honorarium. Not one person found the paltry excuses this Gang of Four finds when they don’t feel like doing their job or going to meetings and voting on matters of importance to the town. I wonder if the folks who work for some of these councillors would still have their jobs if they behaved the way the Gang does. The lack of integrity among all of the Gang of Four leaves a bitter taste, but the fact that they get paid for their insolence to the town is reprehensible. I hope the door slams them all in the rear-end when they leave the building. Hopefully the young people in our… Source link

Sept. 13, 2022 Press Release from DOE The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced up to $10 million in funding to establish clear practices to determine whether low-energy nuclear reactions (LENR) could be the basis for a potentially transformative carbon-free energy source. The funding is part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) LENR Exploratory Topic, which aims to break the stalemate of research in this space. “ARPA-E is all about risk and exploring where others cannot go, which is why we’ve set out with this LENR Exploratory Topic to conclusively answer the question ‘should this field move forward, or does it not show promise?’” said ARPA-E Acting Director and Deputy Director for Technology Dr. Jenny Gerbi. “We look forward to seeing the… Source link

Adobe plans to acquire Figma, a popular web-based collaborative design tool for around $20 billion. A post from Figma co-founder and CEO Dylan Field states that “today, we’re announcing that Figma has entered into an agreement to be acquired by Adobe … while this is not the end of the story, it is the closing of a chapter.” The transaction is divided into roughly half cash, half stock, and is expected to close in 2023, subject to regulatory approval. According to Field, Adobe aims to “keep Figma operating autonomously” and he plans to continue as CEO. He also states that “currently we have no plan to change Figma’s pricing,” including offering Figma free for education. Field will report to Adobe’s David Wadhwani, President Digital… Source link

To misquote the famous line in the 1989 movie ‘Field of Dreams‘, “if you build it, they will come” (the actual line from the movie is he will come – referring either to Kevin Costner’s character’s father or shoeless Joe Jackson or perhaps both). Making a giant leap from that to the world we find ourselves in today, where 80% of the worlds rare earth resources are controlled by China, if you build it, or at least can process the raw materials into rare earth oxides (REOs), then arguably everyone will come. OK, maybe that was a bad segue but you’re just going to have to live with it. The point is, there are billions of dollars being invested over the next couple of years on EV battery manufacturing facilities in North America and the U.S. has recently implemented… Source link

Lauren Hough may be known for her spar-ready online presence, but in real life she’s pure warmth: years ago, she overheard us talking about the Insider Prize—American Short Fiction’s annual contest for incarcerated writers—at a coffee shop in Austin, and she walked up, and proclaimed, “I want to help!” So, this year, we asked her to be the judge. This year’s submissions capture the uncertainty, loss, and despair so many of us have experienced in the past two years. But they also capture self-reflection, hope, and a desire to escape to a new world—whether to a post-pandemic future filled with millions or clones, or to a more humane existence for those living within the confines of our criminal justice system. Though writers often specify which… Source link
