They are distinguished by long incubation periods, characteristic spongiform changes associated with neuronal loss, and a failure to induce inflammatory response.The causative agents of TSEs are believed to be prions. The term “prions” refers to abnormal, pathogenic agents that are transmissible and are able to induce abnormal folding of specific normal cellular proteins called prion proteins that are found most abundantly in the brain. The functions of these normal prion proteins are still not completely understood. The abnormal folding of the prion proteins leads to brain damage and the characteristic signs and symptoms of the disease. Prion diseases are usually rapidly progressive and always fatal.__________________________________________________To destroy a prion it must be denatured to the point that it can no longer cause normal proteins to misfold. Sustained heat for several hours at extremely high temperatures (900°F and above) will reliably destroy a prion.__________________________________CEMEX UK | View CEMEX Aggregates Extraction Processes . … the majority of coarse aggregate used in concrete with crushed stone making up most of the … Aggregation Process of the Prion Ure2p: Insights on Vesicle Permeabilization and.SEARCH –What would be the benefit to multinational corporations, such . . .Jul 14, 2020 — … solve: What would be the benefit to multinational corporations, such as CEMEX , … Choosing Carnegie, Ford, or Rockefeller, or a more recent.

TOXIC Cloud of cement dust from Cemex Plant Cloud of cement dust from Cemex plant in Victorville triggers fire department response
Published 11 months ago on April 24, 2020By Victor Valley News Group  VICTORVILLE, Calif. (VVNG.com) — A cloud of cement dust from a Cemex plant in Victorville triggered a response from the fire department Friday evening.On April 24th, 2020, at 5:05 p.m., the Victorville Fire Department responded to reports of a commercial structure fire at the plant, located at 16888 E St. in Victorville, after people reported the cloud of building material particles as a fire.“It was not a fire,” stated Victorville City Spokeswoman Sue Jones. “Cemex was filling a silo. It was cement dust that resembled a smoke cloud.”Cement is the main ingredient in concrete and is a very fine powder that can be dangerous.“Every two days we got to wash our car with muriatic acid, [and Cemex] won’t do a [expletive] thing about it,” he stated. “You know, they’re a global company.”“That usually doesn’t happen until Sunday morning when nobody’s up,” he stated as he pointed to the dust cloud.According to Osha.gov, exposure to cement dust can irritate eyes, nose, throat, and the upper respiratory system.Skin contact may result in moderate irritation to thickening/cracking of skin to severe skin damage from chemical burns. Exposure to silica, which is often in cement, can lead to lung injuries including silicosis and lung cancer, the government website stated.Osha suggests that anybody who is experiencing symptoms should rinse their eyes with water if they come into contact with cement dust and consult a physician, use soap and water to wash off the dust to avoid skin damage, and wear a P-, N- or R-95 respirator to minimize inhalation of cement dust.There was no report of injuries at the Cemex plant and at 5:30 p.m., the excess dust escaping from the silo had stopped.________________________________________________________________________
EXAMPLE 1A light colloidal concrete is prepared by using:a commercially available cement (cement CPA 400), a silico-calcareous sand graded no higher than 0.8 mm (the cement/sand mass ratio being equal to 1), whole blood powder of animal origin, a colloid, and mixing water in variable proportions.The various constituents are mixed by means of a mixer working between 100 and 600 r.p.m.

(“CEMEX”) (NYSE: CX) announced today a new Climate Action strategy, which outlines the company´s vision to advance towards a carbon-neutral economy and to address society’s increasing demands more efficiently. In CEMEX, we believe that climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time and support the urgency of collective action.As a result of our efforts to date, we have reduced our net specific CO2 emissions by more than 22% compared to our 1990 baseline. But we acknowledge that this is not enough. This is why we have defined a more ambitious target of a 35% reduction of net specific CO2 emissions by 2030. This new goal is aligned with the Science-Based Targets methodology, a requirement climate science says is necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.To complement this strategy with a longer-term vision, CEMEX is also establishing a new ambition to deliver net-zero CO2 concrete by 2050. In our business, we believe concrete—our end product—has a key role to play in the transition to a carbon-neutral economy, and is an essential component in the development of climate-smart urban projects, sustainable buildings, and resilient infrastructure.“Climate change has been a priority for CEMEX for many years. Our efforts have brought significant progress to date, but we must do more. This is why we have defined a more ambitious strategy to reduce CO2 emissions by 2030 and to deliver net-zero CO2 concrete by 2050,” said Fernando A. Gonzalez, CEO of CEMEX.This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.

The advantage of using blood, Laleman argued, was that the oxygen in it produced a lighter concrete.Curiously, Laleman acknowledged that the idea of using blood to make concrete wasn’t in any way new. He cited a variety of earlier patents, such as US patent 1,020,325 from 1912 which described mixing blood into concrete. And, in fact, the technique of using blood to make concrete was even practiced by the ancient Romans. What made Laleman’s technique unique (and therefore patentable) was apparently that he used it specifically to lighten the concrete, rather than to color it or to make it more porous. That seems like a rather fine distinction to me, but it was enough to earn him a patent.

PETER KATEL07.01.1997 12:00 PM WIREDordering on ChaosThere are stranger places to see the latest in complexity theory in action, but delivering cement in Mexico is a pretty good start. Here’s how the cement business worked in Mexico’s second-largest city, Gua-dalajara, only a couple of years ago: A builder telephoned in an order a day or so ahead, two days in advance […]
Cemex has its First World operations – through astute acquisitions, it’s now Spain’s top cement supplier and has a US subsidiary based in New Braunfels, Texas. But it specializes in places that lack highly developed road systems, solid telephone networks, etc.Cemex’s own satellite system, hooks up every plant and office, providing streams of real-time data on everything from daily sales and output to truck oil change schedules. Technical flying squads get newly acquired subsidiaries online in only a few months. There’s a private satellite TV network for in house training and videoconferencing. A local call from virtually anywhere on the planet hooks traveling executives directly into the companywide international phone system.Cemex is a company on a high tech roll that has carried it in scarcely a decade from a sleepy perch in northern Mexico to its place as the world’s third-largest cement company. Its 20,000-plus people, 486 plants, thousands of vehicles, and fleet of freight ships move more than 50 million tons of the stuff annually in 60 countries – including places that make Guadalajara look like Geneva.
Cemex executives will dutifully tell you that the idea of going high tech came from chair and CEO Lorenzo Zambrano, a 53-year-old Stanford MBA whose grandfather consolidated Cemex as a modern company in the 1920s. Company lore portrays Zambrano as a cyber whiz who goes through his LotusNotes email while he flies, then jacks in his IBM ThinkPad to check on his far-flung operations wherever he touches down.
For all the money Cemex has spent on information technology – an estimated 1 percent of its US$3 billion annual revenue – 1/7/1997

Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of blood in the construction and building industry, whereby blood and extracts of blood containing haemoglobin are used as air entraining colloids. The recommended process for preparing a lightened material consists in associating a construction element chosen from the cements, mortars and concretes, with at least one air entraining colloid chosen from whole blood, globules, red blood corpuscles and haemoglobin. The invention also relates to the lightened material obtained according to this process. The term “blood” is here understood to mean whole animal blood or an extract of animal blood containing haemoglobin. The following may be mentioned in particular among the extracts of animal blood which are suitable:the globules, i.e. all the elements constituted by the red blood corpuscles, the white blood corpuscles and the thrombocytes, this resulting from the elimination of the plasma;the red blood corpuscles, andthe haemoglobin which is the colouring matter of the red corpuscles.It has been ascertained that, in the blood, it is mainly the red blood corpuscles and the haemoglobin which have the sought after air entraining properties. Therefore, for economical reasons, whole blood or an extract of blood which is more or less rich in red blood corpuscles or haemoglobin may preferably be used, depending on the costs of treating blood.To facilitate the conservation and storage, the animal blood or extract of animal blood are advantageously brough into powder form either by drying, freeze drying or by applying any other method known per se.The preferred use of blood according to the invention for obtaining a lightened material consists in associating the blood, the globules, red blood corpuscles or haemoglobin with at least one other colloid.

‘Buildings’ in human bone may hold key to stronger 3D-printed lightweight structures(Nanowerk News) What do bones and 3D-printed buildings have in common? They both have columns and beams on the inside that determine how long they last.Now, the discovery of how a “beam” in human bone material handles a lifetime’s worth of wear and tear could translate to the development of 3D-printed lightweight materials that last long enough for more practical use in buildings, aircraft and other structures.A team of researchers at Cornell University, Purdue University and Case Western Reserve University found that when they mimicked this beam and made it about 30% thicker, an artificial material could last up to 100 times longer.

Would YOU Live in a City Made of BONE ? ?
The cities of today are built with concrete and steel – but some Cambridge researchers think that the cities of the future need to go back to nature if they are to support an ever-expanding population, while keeping carbon emissions under control.
“The material properties of bone and wood are very similar,” says Oyen. “Just because we can make all of our buildings out of concrete and steel doesn’t mean we should. But it will require big change.”

https://www.cam.ac.uk/research/features/would-you-live-in-a-city-made-of-bone

Concrete and steel are responsible for as much as a tenth of worldwide carbon emissions. Before they ever reach a construction site, both steel and concrete must be processed at very high temperatures – which takes a lot of energy. And yet, our cities are completely dependent on these two “unsustainable materials”.
Just think NATURAL construction materials will reduce your carbon footprint. People assume that air travel is a huge contributor to carbon emissions,” says bioengineer Dr Michelle Oyen of Cambridge’s Department of Engineering. “But the truth is, while the emissions caused by air travel are significant, far more are caused by the production of concrete and steel, which of course is what most cities are built from.”
So what does that mean for cities of the future, as more and more of us live in urban areas? How can we continue to build while reducing carbon emissions?Whereas some researchers are investigating ways of producing steel and concrete in more energy-efficient ways, or finding ways of using less, Oyen would rather turn the tables completely, and create new building materials that are strong, sustainable and take their inspiration from nature.“What we’re trying to do is to rethink the way that we make things,” says Oyen. “Engineers tend to throw energy at problems, whereas nature throws information at problems – they fundamentally do things differently.”Oyen works in the field of biomimetics – literally ‘copying life’. In her lab, with funding support from the US Army Corps of Engineers, she constructs small samples of artificial bone and eggshell, which could be used as medical implants, or even be scaled up and used as low-carbon building materials.
Like the real things, artificial bone and eggshell are composites of proteins and minerals. In bone, the proportions of protein and mineral are roughly equal – the mineral gives bone stiffness and hardness, while the protein gives it toughness or resistance to fracture. While bones can break, it is relatively rare, and they have the benefit of being self-healing – another feature that engineers are trying to bring to biomimetic materials.In eggshell, the ratios are different: about 95% mineral to 5% protein, but even this small amount of protein makes eggshell remarkably tough considering how thin it is.When making the artificial bone and eggshell, the mineral components are ‘templated’ directly onto collagen, which is the most abundant protein in the animal world. “One of the interesting things is that the minerals that make up bone deposit along the collagen, and eggshell deposits outwards from the collagen, perpendicular to it,” says Oyen. “So it might even be the case that these two composites could be combined to make a lattice-type structure, which would be even stronger – there’s some interesting science there that we’d like to look into.”In her lab, Oyen and her team have been making samples of artificial eggshell and bone via a process that could be easily scaled up – and since the process takes place at room temperature, the samples take very little energy to produce. But it may be some time before we’re living in bone and eggshell houses.For one, the collagen that Oyen needs to make these materials comes from natural (meaning animal) sources. One of the things she’s currently investigating is whether a non-animal-derived or even synthetic protein or polymer could be used instead of natural collagen.“Another issue is the construction industry is a very conservative one,” Oyen says. “All of our existing building standards have been designed with concrete and steel in mind. Constructing buildings out of entirely new materials would mean completely rethinking the whole industry. But if you want to do something really transformative to bring down carbon emissions, then I think that’s what we have to do. If we’re going to make a real change, a major rethink is what has to happen.”Dr Michael Ramage from the Department of Architecture is another Cambridge researcher who believes we need to expand our use of natural materials in buildings. Ramage has several ongoing research projects that are looking into the use of wood – one of the oldest building materials we have –  for tall buildings.

Therefore, for economical reasons, whole blood or an extract of blood which is more or less rich in red blood corpuscles or haemoglobin may preferably be used, depending on the costs of treating blood.To facilitate the conservation and storage, the animal blood or extract of animal blood are advantageously brough into powder form either by drying, freeze drying or by applying any other method known per se.The preferred use of blood according to the invention for obtaining a lightened material consists in associating the blood, the globules, red blood corpuscles or haemoglobin with at least one other colloid.The process of preparation, according to the invention, of a lightened material is characterised in that at least one air entraining colloid chosen from whole blood, globules, red blood corpuscles and haemoglobin is associated with the construction element chosen from cements, mortars and concretes.According to a preferred embodiment, the process for preparing a mortar or lightened concrete consists in associating, with stirring and in the presence of mixing water:(a) a mixture of cement and sand, and(b) at least one air-entraining colloid in powder form chosen from whole blood, globules, red blood corpuscles and haemoglobin,the quantity of air entraining haemoglobin (b) being advantageously comprised between 0.1 and 1% by weight with respect to the weight of the cement contained in mixture (a).Stirring is one of the essential elements according to the invention. The association, comprising water, the mixture (a), the air entraining colloid (b) and, if necessary, the colloid (c) which will be mentioned hereinbelow, is obtained by means of a mixer working between 100 and 600 r.p.m. Below 100 r.p.m., an insufficient quantity of air is incorporated. The mixer will preferably work at 200 r.p.m., the duration of mixing generally being from 3 to 10 mins.In the mixture (a), the cement/sand mass ratio may in particular be between 0.3 and 1.5. Of course, light aggregates graded between 0.1 and 25 mm may be added to the cement/sand mixture. These light aggregates may be expanded schist, polystryrene balls, expanded glass, vermiculite, perlite or mica.To prepare a light colloidal concrete comprising a very stable network of spherical micro air-bubbles, whose diameter is between 1μ and 1 mm, having a good mechanical resistance and a low density (for example a density of 0.8 to 1.3 kg/dm³after 28 days), the recommended process consists in associating the mixture (a) of cement and sand with at least one air entraining colloid (b) and at least one other colloid (c). The quantity of colloid (c) is then advantageously between 0.025 and 1% by weight with respect to the weight of the cement contained in the mixture (a).The colloids (c) which may be used according to the invention, may be constituted, in particular, by cellulosic derivatives, such as degraded starch, esters and ethers of cellulose, alginic derivatives, derivatives of silane and polyalkyleneoxides (e.g. those which contain from 7 to 22 units alkyleneoxide per molecule) and mixtures thereof. The preferred colloids (c) according to the invention are hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and polyethyleneoxides, the most advantageous being the polyethyleneoxides as they act not only as colloids but also as foaming agents and thus make it possible to use, if necessary, a quantity of product (b) close to the lower limit given hereinabove. 0.1 to 5% by weight of polyethyleneoxide with respect to the weight of the cement of mixture (a) may advantageously be used.The association of (a) and (b) and possibly (c) is effected at the moment of mixing with mixing water. According to a similar technique, ready-mixed dry light mortars, may be prepared. The water/cement mass ratio is between 0.35 and 0.45.Other advantages and features of the invention will be more readily understood on reading the following examples of light colloidal concrete. In particular in Example 1, the colloids (c) used were hydroxyethylcellulose (marketed under the name of “Natrosol” by Hercules-France), carboxymethylcellulose (marketed under the name of “Blanose” by Novacel) and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (marketed under the name of “Methocel” by Dow Chemical; two varieties of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose designated by Methocel No. 1 and Methocel No. 2 were used). In these Examples, the percentages of air entraining colloid and of colloid are expressed by weight with respect to the weight of the cement contained in mixture (a).EXAMPLE 1A light colloidal concrete is prepared by using:a commercially available cement (cement CPA 400),a silico-calcareous sand graded no higher than 0.8 mm (the cement/sand mass ratio being equal to 1),whole blood powder of animal origin, a colloid, andmixing water in variable proportions.The various constituents are mixed by means of a mixer working between 100 and 600 r.p.m.The results obtained after 2, 7 and 28 days shown in Table I hereinbelow, in which:W/C represents the water/cement mass ratio,d represents the density of the materialTB represents the tensile strength in bending (in kg/cm²),andC represents the simple compressive strength (in kg/cm²) TB and C being determined after conservation in air in the presence of humidity (20° C.; 50% HR).By proceeding as indicated in the Example given hereinabove, it is possible 1) to incorporate a filler, particularly a calcareous filler, or 2) to replace the sand or a part thereof by a suitable quantity of light aggregates such as for example polystyrene, expanded slag, vermiculite, perlite and expanded schist.Generally, by playing on the percentage of blood powder or of powder of blood extract containing haemoglobin, on the percentages of colloid and on the modi operandi, in the proportions given hereinabove, the density of the hardened colloidal concrete may be varied from 0.5 to 1.8 kg/dm³ with, correlatively, a simple compressive strength of 5 to 350 kg/cm².EXAMPLE 2A light colloidal concrete is prepared by mixing, for 4 mins. at 200 r.p.m., a composition comprising water, a mixture of 100 kg of sand (graded no higher than 0.2 mm) and of 100 kg cement (CMP 400), 2 kg of blood extract, 0.6 kg of a cellulosic colloid (carboxymethylcellulose) and 0.3 kg of polyethyleneoxide with a view to comparing three products obtained from blood, namely: whole blood powder, powder of red blood corpuscles and powder of ox plasma, the latter not containing haemoglobin, the water/cement mass ratio (W/X) being 0.42.The density (d) of the material thus obtained as well as the TB and C strengths are determined after 7 and 28 days, as defined in Example 1. The results given in Table II show that the powders containing haemoglobin (whole blood powder and powder of red blood corpuscles) lead to lower densities.EXAMPLE 3A light colloidal mortar is prepared by mixing, for 4 mins. by means of a mixer working at 200 r.p.m., water, cement (CPA 400), sand graded no higher than 0.1 mm and a mixture of colloids (hydroxyethylcellulose and whole blood powder in a mass ratio 0.3:1), the water/cement (W/C) mass ratio being 0.42.For the material obtained at each test, the apparent density is measured (in kg/m³) as well as the TB and C strengths, after 7 and 28 days (in kg/cm²), the heat conductivity when dry (in W/m² ° C.) and shrinkage after 28 days. The results are shown in Table III hereinbelow.When fresh, the light colloidal mortar obtained according to each test of Example 3 is fat adhering well to the support. It can easily be pumped and is projectable with the mortar-gun. The vibrations, pumping and projection do not destroy the micro-air bubbles.The setting time of the light colloidal mortar is slightly extended, this giving the material a longer application time, but is is possible to accelerate it by means of an accelerator known per se.The heat shrinkage of this material is of the same order of magnitude as that of a conventional concrete (10 μ/m/° C.). Moreover, as shown by the result of Table III hereinbelow, the compressive strengths obtained after 28 days of conservation in damp (20° C.; 50% H.R.) are:50 kg/cm² for the economical mixture (low colloid content) of light colloidal mortar of density 1100 kg/m³, and212 kg/cm² for the light colloidal mortar of density 1500 kg/m³.The ratio TB/C varies between 0.60 and 0.30 according to the density, instead of 0.15 to 0.20 for conventional concretes. The substantial increase of this ratio translates a considerable reduction in the fragility of the material and a great faculty of accommodation under the pulling forces.The hydraulic shrinkage after setting of the light colloidal mortar is greater than that of a concrete in view of the high content of fine elements, but, what is important in a lining, is the fissurability. The modulus of elasticity of the light colloidal mortar according to the invention is of the order of 60 000 kg/cm², or about 1/5 of that of a conventional concrete, in other words, with equal stresses, the mortar according to the invention deforms five times more than a conventional concrete. It is this deformability which protects this light material against cracks. The high resistance to cracking and the plasticity are due to the presence of numerous air bubbles which stop the possible micro-cracks, similarly to a hole which is made at the end of a crack in a window to stop propagation thereof.The light colloidal mortar is only slightly capillary and is perfectly resistant to the freezing-thaw cycles. Finally, the dimensional variations (swelling/shrinking) during the drying/humidification cycles are substantially the same as those of a conventional concrete.In view of these properties, the light colloidal mortar according to the invention is perfectly usable in the domains of single-layer linings and outer insulating linings.

CEMEX Strengthens Supply Chain to Support U.S. Operations in Their Efforts to Address Cement ShortageFebruary 02, 2021 05:30 PM Eastern Standard TimeMONTERREY, Mexico–(BUSINESS WIRE)–CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V.

Forget COVID-19? CDC offers tips on surviving zombie apocalypse

By: Jeff TavssPosted at 10:42 AM, Mar 04, 2021 and last updated 9:42 AM, Mar 04, 2021

ATLANTA — Because 2021 isn’t horrible enough with a worldwide pandemic on our hands, there may also be a zombie apocalypse to worry about this year and the CDC wants you to be prepared.

Nostradamus, a locked-in member of the “seer” Mount Rushmore, predicted that a zombie apocalypse will occur in 2021 after a Russian scientist creates a biological weapon that produces a virus that turns humans into, well… zombies.

As if you didn’t know already, it’s currently 2021.

Because one of the main responsibilities of The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is to prepare people for the worst case scenarios in case disaster strikes, the agency issued a post to help humans get through a possible zombie apocalypse.

In case the walking dead take over the planet, the CDC advises those still alive prepare as they would for a “real emergency,” which is kind of the point of the entire post.

An emergency kit during a zombie apocalypse would come in handy and should include:

Water (1 gallon per person per day)
Food (stock up on non-perishable items that you eat regularly)
Medications (this includes prescription and non-prescription meds)
Tools and Supplies (utility knife, duct tape, battery powered radio, etc.)
Sanitation and Hygiene (household bleach, soap, towels, etc.)
Clothing and Bedding (a change of clothes for each family member and blankets)
Important documents (copies of your driver’s license, passport, and birth certificate to name a few)
First Aid supplies (although you’re a goner if a zombie bites you, you can use these supplies to treat basic cuts and lacerations that you might get during a tornado or hurricane)

The CDC also advises about the need for an emergency plan for your family if they’re still, you know, themselves.

In the end, if or when zombies begin their takeover, the CDC wrote they’ll be ready.

“If zombies did start roaming the streets, CDC would conduct an investigation much like any other disease outbreak. CDC would provide technical assistance to cities, states, or international partners dealing with a zombie infestation.”

“Not only would scientists be working to identify the cause and cure of the zombie outbreak, but CDC and other federal agencies would send medical teams and first responders to help those in affected areas.”

US Military Ordered ‘Clandestine Burning’ of Toxic Chemicals in Poor Neighborhoods: Study

New research conducted by environmental justice scholars at Vermont’s Bennington College reveals that between 2016 and 2020, the U.S. military oversaw the “clandestine burning” of more than 20 million pounds of Aqueous Fire Fighting Foam in low-income communities around the country—even though there is no evidence that incineration destroys the toxic “forever chemicals” that make up the foam and are linked to a range of cancers, developmental disorders, immune dysfunction, and infertility.

“Weighing out its own liability against the health of these communities, the Pentagon struck the match.”
—David Bond, Bennington College

“In defiance of common sense and environmental expertise, the Department of Defense (DOD) has enlisted poor communities across the U.S. as unwilling test subjects in its toxic experiment with burning AFFF,” David Bond, associate director of the Center for the Advancement of Public Action at Bennington College, said (pdf) in a statement earlier this week.

Noting that scientists, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and even Pentagon officials have warned that “burning AFFF is an unproven method and dangerous mix that threatens the health of millions of Americans,” Bond characterized the decision of the military to dump huge stockpiles of AFFF and AFFF wastewater into “a handful of habitually negligent incinerators” as a “harebrained” operation as well as a manifestation of environmental injustice.

“In effect,” he added, “the Pentagon redistributed its AFFF problem into poor and working-class neighborhoods.”

After months of compiling and analyzing data—obtained last year from the Pentagon and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation—the team from Vermont launched an interactive website this week that publicizes for the first time the results of their investigation into all known shipments of AFFF to hazardous waste incinerators in the U.S.

The Bennington College researchers summarized their findings as follows:

Over 20 million pounds of the toxic firefighting foam AFFF and AFFF wastewater was incinerated between 2016-2020;
The U.S. military, the EPA, and state regulators all expressed serious concern about the ability of incineration to destroy the toxic chemicals in AFFF during this time;
Six incinerators were contracted to burn AFFF. Each is a habitual violator of environmental law. Since 2017, three of the incinerators were out of compliance with environmental law 100% of the time while the other incinerators were out of compliance with environmental law about 50% of the time;
35% of known shipments of AFFF (7.7 million pounds) was burned at the Norlite Hazardous Waste Incinerator in Cohoes, New York, located within a densely populated urban area and less than 400 feet from a public housing complex. Norlite burned 2.47 million pounds of AFFF and 5.3 million pounds of AFFF wastewater, which likely was burned in violation of its Resource Conservation and Recovery Act permit;
40% of the national stockpile of AFFF (5.5 million pounds) was sent to “fuel-blending” facilities where it was mixed into fuels for industrial use. It is not clear where the AFFF-laden fuel went next, although the DOD contract stipulates incineration should be the endpoint; and
970,000 pounds of AFFF was burned overseas.

AFFF contains contaminants known as perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS); exposure to trace amounts of these synthetic chemicals is associated with a variety of detrimental health effects, and some have argued that PFAS are so risky that they not only endanger public health but threaten to undermine human reproduction writ large.

Jane Williams, chair of the Sierra Club’s National Clean Air team stressed: “We simply must stop burning PFAS compounds.”

“Attempting to burn these forever chemicals can generate highly toxic emissions which endanger the health of nearby communities,” she said. “Burning also releases gases which are powerful climate forcing chemicals.”

According to Williams, “EPA and DOD are both pursuing advanced technologies that can more effectively destroy these compounds without causing these unacceptable impacts.”

The pursuit of alternative disposal methods raises the question, posed by the researchers on their website: “If incineration is an unproven means of destroying these toxins, is burning AFFF solving the problem or simply emitting it into the poor communities that so often surround incinerators in the U.S.?”

According to the researchers, the military rushed to burn more than 20 million pounds of AFFF over the past four years because they feared the substance “would be classified as a toxic chemical (and with that designation, would require new safeguards and introduce new liability).”

In a column published Thursday in The Guardian, Bond explained:

While some states file suit against the manufactures of AFFF, the fingerprints of the U.S. Armed Forces are all over the scene of the crime. When federal scientists moved to publish a comprehensive review of the toxic chemistry of AFFF in 2018, DOD officials called that science “a public relations nightmare” and tried to suppress the findings.

Beyond damning internal emails, the military is still in possession of a tremendous amount of AFFF. As the EPA and states around the U.S. begin to designate AFFF a hazardous substance, the military’s stockpiles of AFFF are starting to add up to an astronomical liability on the military’s balance sheet. Perhaps thinking the Trump administration presented an opportune moment, the Pentagon decided to torch their AFFF problem in 2016.

Despite AFFF’s extraordinary resistance to fire, incineration quietly became the military’s preferred method to handle AFFF. “We knew that this would be a costly endeavor, since it meant we’d be burning something that was engineered to put out fires,” Steve Schneider, chief of Hazardous Disposal for the logistics wing of DOD, said in 2017 as the operation got underway…

As the military was sending AFFF to incinerators around the country, the EPA, state regulators, and university scientists all warned that subjecting AFFF to extremely high temperatures would likely conjure up a witches brew of fluorinated toxins, that existing smokestack technologies would be insufficient to monitor poisonous emissions let alone capture them, and that dangerous chemicals might rain down on surrounding neighborhoods. Weighing out its own liability against the health of these communities, the Pentagon struck the match.

Judith Enck, former EPA regional administrator, said the data compiled by the Bennington College team demonstrate that “we have a national problem on our hands.”

“Congress needs to throw cold water on the Pentagon’s mad dash to burn toxic firefighting foam. There is no evidence that incineration destroys AFFF,” she added, calling for “a national ban on burning these forever chemicals.”

What stood out is on the bottom of page 2 to the top of page 3 once they inject people: “Genetic diversity protects species from mass casualties caused by infectious agents. One individual may be killed by a virus while another may have no ill effects from the same virus. By placing the identical receptor, the spike protein, on cells of everyone in a population, the genetic diversity for at least one potential receptor disappears. Everyone in the population now becomes potentially susceptible to binding with the same infectious agent.”

AR Powered – Teleportation Mark Zuckerberg: How smart glasses could help combat climate change

March 12, 2021March 12, 2021 digigod

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/08/mark-zuckerberg-how-smart-glasses-could-help-combat-climate-change.html

KEY POINTS

Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday that by 2030, people could use advanced smart glasses to “teleport” to other people’s homes, and speak to them as if they’re physically present.
This would enable in-person meetings to be replaced by a headset-based digital experience, which could fight climate change by reducing commutes and travel.
Zuckerberg’s remarks are notable because they represent a cohesive vision from an industry leader of why they are betting big on augmented reality, which is increasingly seen as the next computing shift after the smartphone.

Oculus Quest 2Facebook

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on Monday that by 2030, people could use advanced smart glasses to “teleport” to locations like other people’s homes, and speak to them as if they’re physically present, allowing in-person meetings to be replaced by a headset-based digital experience.

One upshot of this vision of the future could be a reduction in travel for business or pleasure, which could help ameliorate the effects of climate change, Zuckerberg said in an interview with The Information.

″Obviously, there are going to keep on being cars and planes and all that. But the more that we can teleport around, not only are we personally eliminating commutes and stuff that’s kind of a drag for us individually, but I think that’s better for society and for the planet overall, too,” Zuckerberg said.

Most big technology firms, including Apple, Microsoft, and Google, are working on augmented reality technology, which overlays computer-generated graphics on images of the real world. They’re all competing to shape the next major computer interface after the smartphone and touchscreen.

Zuckerberg’s remarks are notable because they represent a cohesive vision from an industry leader of what augmented reality technology can do for consumers, not just other businesses, and he identifies software that could be the hook to get people to buy and subsequently wear advanced computers on their face: virtual in-person communication.

The ultimate vision years down the road, as Zuckerberg said on Monday, is a pair of normal-looking computer-powered glasses that can display content alongside the real world through transparent displays.

“There are going to be all these awesome use cases that come from this….rather than calling someone or having a video chat, you just kind of snap your fingers and teleport, and you’re sitting there and they’re on their couch and it feels like you’re there together,” Zuckerberg said.

Zuckerberg says one advantage to AR-powered “teleportation” is that it could reduce travel or commute time. Ultimately, AR could allow workers to live where they want, perhaps a less expensive region, and “basically teleport to work,” Zuckerberg said.

“We talked a little bit about climate change before just being so important,” Zuckerberg said. “People are just going to want to maybe travel a little less in the future and do it more efficiently, and be able to go places without having to take the travel or commute time.”

Zuckerberg’s interview comes as the social media company plans to release a pair of smart glasses in partnership with Ray-Ban later this year, although he said they wouldn’t be “full AR,” which means they won’t display advanced virtual objects. Facebook plans to release more advanced AR glasses as technology gets better.

Facebook also develops virtual reality headsets which lack transparent displays through Oculus, which it purchased in 2014 for $2 billion. It currently sells the Oculus 2, a $300 virtual reality headset. Zuckerberg said he believes that software makers will start making software in virtual reality before transitioning to augmented reality, and calls the two technologies “two sides of the same coin.”

A world first: A robot able to “hear” through the ear of a locust2-Mar-2021News Release Tel Aviv University researchers connect a real locust ear to a robotTel-Aviv UniversityResearch News
Credit: Tel Aviv UniversityA technological and biological development that is unprecedented in Israel and the world has been achieved at Tel Aviv University. For the first time, the ear of a dead locust has been connected to a robot that receives the ear’s electrical signals and responds accordingly. The result is extraordinary: When the researchers clap once, the locust’s ear hears the sound and the robot moves forward; when the researchers clap twice, the robot moves backwards.The interdisciplinary study was led by Idan Fishel, a joint master student under the joint supervision of Dr. Ben M. Maoz of the Iby and Aladar Fleischman Faculty of Engineering and the Sagol School of Neuroscience, Prof. Yossi Yovel and Prof. Amir Ayali, experts from the School of Zoology and the Sagol School of Neuroscience together with -, Dr. Anton Sheinin, Idan, Yoni Amit, and Neta Shavil. The results of the study were published in the prestigious journal Sensors.The researchers explain that at the beginning of the study, they sought to examine how the advantages of biological systems could be integrated into technological systems, and how the senses of dead locust could be used as sensors for a robot. “We chose the sense of hearing, because it can be easily compared to existing technologies, in contrast to the sense of smell, for example, where the challenge is much greater,” says Dr. Maoz. “Our task was to replace the robot’s electronic microphone with a dead insect’s ear, use the ear’s ability to detect the electrical signals from the environment, in this case vibrations in the air, and, using a special chip, convert the insect input to that of the robot.”To carry out this unique and unconventional task, the interdisciplinary team (Maoz, Yovel and Ayali) faced number of challenged. In the first stage the researchers built a robot capable of responding to signals it receives from the environment. Then, in a multidisciplinary collaboration, the researchers were able to isolate and characterize the dead locust ear and keep it alive, that is, functional, long enough to successfully connect it to the robot. In the final stage, the researchers succeeded in finding a way to pick up the signals received by the locust’s ear in a way that could be used by the robot. At the end of the process, the robot was able to “hear” the sounds and respond accordingly.“Prof. Ayali’s laboratory has extensive experience working with locusts, and they have developed the skills to isolate and characterize the ear,” explains Dr. Maoz. “Prof. Yovel’s laboratory built the robot and developed code that enables the robot to respond to electrical auditory signals. And my laboratory has developed a special device – Ear-on-a-Chip – that allows the ear to be kept alive throughout the experiment by supplying oxygen and food to the organ, while allowing the electrical signals to be taken out of the locust’s ear and amplified and transmitted to the robot.“In general, biological systems have a huge advantage over technological systems – both in terms of sensitivity and in terms of energy consumption. This initiative of Tel Aviv University researchers opens the door to sensory integrations between robots and insects – and may make much more cumbersome and expensive developments in the field of robotics redundant.“It should be understood that biological systems expend negligible energy compared to electronic systems. They are miniature, and therefore also extremely economical and efficient. For the sake of comparison, a laptop consumes about 100 watts per hour, while the human brain consumes about 20 watts a day. Nature is much more advanced than we are, so we should use it. The principle we have demonstrated can be used and applied to other senses, such as smell, sight and touch. For example, some animals have amazing abilities to detect explosives or drugs; the creation of a robot with a biological nose could help us preserve human life and identify criminals in a way that is not possible today. Some animals know how to detect diseases. Others can sense earthquakes. The sky is the limit.”###Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by contributing institutions or for the use of any information through the EurekAlert system.

Meat from Celebrity Tissue Samples

March 1, 2021March 1, 2021 digigod

https://www.latimes.com/food/dailydish/la-dd-bitelabs-make-salami-celebrity-tissue-samples-20140304-story.html

It may sound like the makings of a bad science fiction movie: A company that harvests human tissue to make meat products such as salami. But a new start-up called BiteLabs is claiming to want to make human test-tube meat a reality. And they want to use celebrities to do it.

“At the moment, our primary goal is to provoke discussion and debate around topics of bioethics and celebrity culture,” said Martin from the BiteLabs team. He says he wishes to remain anonymous at this time, due to the controversy surrounding the focus of the company. “We see inefficiencies, environmental hazards, and ethical problems in the world’s food production and distribution. There are exciting opportunities to disrupt these industries while opening new ways to consume celebrity culture.”

Do we believe that? This is more likely the work of provocateurs who want to start a lab meat discussion and not actually use Kanye West to make cured meat.

Here’s how it will work, according to the BiteLabs website. A sample of tissue containing myosatellite cells (the type of cells that help repair and regrow damaged muscle) will be taken from a person during a biopsy. Those cells are multiplied in a lab using a medium that acts as an artificial blood to grow muscle.

Once the cells are mature enough, they will be ground and mixed with different kinds of meat, spices, fats and oils for flavor using one of the company’s “time-honored recipes for the creation of fine cured meats.” It will then be stuffed into casings, seasoned again then dry aged and cured before packaging for distribution.

The company outlines how this type of test-tube meat would eliminate environmental and ethical concerns associated with livestock production, claiming its celebrity meat production would require less than 1% of the land used in traditional farming. The site also notes, the lab meats will not be affected by growth hormones or come into contact with any pesticides or chemicals.

And as far as the celebrity angle, BiteLabs is hoping they can use celebrities to warm people up to the idea of consuming the meat.

“That is our hope, to get celebrities on board, sample their cells, and then use them to mass produce artisanal salami,” said Martin. “We’re in agile mode right now, scaling our user base and attracting celebrities as partners.”

BiteLabs has sample, celebrity meat descriptions on its website written by BiteLabs representative Kevin and food designers on the BiteLab team. There are sample descriptions for James Franco, Kanye West, Jennifer Lawrence and Ellen DeGeneres. None of these celebrities are actually affiliated with the company.

In case you’re wondering, DeGeneres’ salami is described as “black pepper and garlic with a playful kick of mustard give the Ellen salami a highly approachable and well-rounded flavor.” The description notes DeGeneres’ meat would be blended with ostrich and finished with a hint of brandy and shallots.

BREAKING: Invasion Of Locusts Threatens To Cause Widespread Famine In The Horn Of Africa

February 24, 2021February 24, 2021 digigod

https://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/a-biblical-invasion-of-locusts-threatens-to-cause-widespread-famine-in-the-horn-of-africa/

The locusts are back, and they are hungry. Last year, an unprecedented plague of locusts devastated crops in eastern Africa, across the Middle East and throughout much of Asia. Many were hoping that it would just be a one year phenomenon, but now the locusts have returned and one British news source is using the world “biblical” to describe this second wave. At this moment, the Horn of Africa is being hit the hardest, and the UN is warning that this new infestation “threatens the livelihoods of more than 39 million people”…

According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the next generation of locusts threatens the livelihoods of more than 39 million people in Ethiopia, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, and Kenya. Over recent months, the pests have been combated on 1.3 million hectares of land in the Horn of Africa. However, in northern and central Kenya, more than 15 districts, including many new areas, have already been severely affected by the second wave of locusts. Around 1.9 million people were already living in a precarious nutrition situation, which could now dramatically worsen.

One reporter recently had the opportunity to fly with a pilot that is tracking locust swarms in Kenya, and he was stunned when they came across a “swarm about twice the size of the City of London ready to devour every bit of vegetation in its wake”.

Can you imagine what it must be like for local farmers when millions upon millions of locusts suddenly show up in their area?

These locusts can literally wipe out an entire farm in as little as 30 seconds, and these swarms are capable of traveling vast distances in a single day…

Swarms can fly up to 150 kilometres a day with the wind, and a single square kilometre swarm can eat as much food in a day as 35,000 people.

More than half of the counties in Kenya have already been hit, and many local farmers have had their fields completely devastated.

For example, 70-year-old Isabella Karoki says that she has “lost everything”…

Seventy-year-old Isabella Karoki has never witnessed such a devastating invasion of desert locusts.

“I have lost everything. What do you expect me to eat?” said Karoki, who lives in central Kenya, an agricultural region known for its rich volcanic soils and moderate rainfall.

I honestly do not know what she is going to eat.

When you are a poor farmer and your existence for the entire year depends on what you grow, a disaster of this magnitude can be absolutely crippling.

Hopefully some assistance will be made available, but millions of other farmers in the Horn of Africa will be in the exact same boat.

Of course the locusts eat everything that was meant for livestock as well, and one local dairy farmer named Thomas Mwerore doesn’t know what he will do now…

Dairy farmer Thomas Mwerore is among them.

“The locusts have eaten all the pasture that was there for our livestock,” the 62-year-old told DW. “We are suffering. Even food that we humans eat isn’t there, what can we do?”

Needless to say, this new wave of locusts is going to make the emerging global food crisis even worse.

In 2020, a combination of the COVID pandemic, the locust plague and other factors pushed global hunger to levels that we had not seen in decades. According to the UN World Food Program, nearly 700 million people were suffering from hunger late last year…

The numbers are staggering— as reflected in the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has triggered a new round of food shortages, famine and starvation.

According to the Rome-based World Food Programme (WFP) 690 million people do not have enough to eat while 130 million additional people risk being pushed to the brink of starvation by the end of the year.

And the head of the UN World Food Program has previously warned that we could literally see “famines of biblical proportions in 2021”…

The head of the World Food Program says the Nobel Peace Prize has given the U.N. agency a spotlight and megaphone to warn world leaders that next year is going to be worse than this year, and without billions of dollars “we are going to have famines of biblical proportions in 2021.”

When David Beasley made that statement, he didn’t even know that another massive plague of locusts would be hitting Africa this year.

Unfortunately, this new locust plague could soon escalate dramatically. According to an expert in Kenya, his team is expecting that March and April could be even worse…

“We expect the worst if the young hatch in March and April,” said Kelvin Shingles, Kenya Country Director for German Agro Action (Deutsche Welthungerhilfe), an aid organization, in a press release.

For a long time, I have been warning that global food supplies were getting tighter.

Here in the western world, we can still go to the grocery store and fill up our carts with plenty of food, and so it can be difficult for us to have sympathy for those that are literally facing starvation on the other side of the planet.

But the truth is that it is happening, and the number of people that are suffering from hunger is going to continue to grow.

Even in the best of times we have struggled to feed everyone on the planet, and these are definitely not the best of times. Even the UN is warning that “famines of biblical proportions” are coming, and the suffering that we will witness will be off the charts.

Here in the United States, our food distribution systems have been rattled by the events of the past year, but there is still lots of food on the shelves.

Of course it is quite true that economic suffering is on the rise, and we have seen a number of instances where Americans have been forced to wait in lines that are miles long at local food banks around the nation.

And it is also undeniable that food prices have been rising aggressively, and this will become an even greater concern as time rolls along.

But for now, let us be thankful for what we still have, and let us also pray for those that are suffering on the other side of the globe because these locust invasions are truly, truly awful.

Entire Federal Reserve payment system CRASHES due to ‘operational error’ freezing $3trillion in daily transactions including paychecks, tax refunds and bill payments

February 24, 2021February 24, 2021 digigod

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9296385/Entire-Federal-Reserve-payment-CRASHES.html

The Federal Reserve payment systems used to settle transactions between U.S. financial institutions has suffered a massive disruption due to an ‘operational error’.

The system used by U.S. banks to execute some $3 trillion in transactions daily began suffering outages at around 11.15am Eastern time on Wednesday, and remained down for more than three hours.

‘A Federal Reserve operational error resulted in disruption of service in several business lines,’ a Fed spokesman told DailyMail.com in a statement. ‘We have restored services and communicated with all Federal Reserve Financial Services customers about the status of operations.’Read More

Most of the key systems, including the backbone settlement services Fedwire and FedACH, were back online by 3pm, but the Fed acknowledged that payment deadlines were ‘impacted’ during the outage.

The potential impacts on consumer banking services were not immediately clear.

Among the affected services was Fedwire, the system for large transfers between banks which last year handled 184 million transactions totaling more than $840 trillion, or more than $3.3 trillion daily, according to Fed data.

Other affected systems included FedACH, the clearinghouse which generally handles smaller transactions such as paychecks, tax refunds, and utility bill payments.

The National Settlement Service (NSS), used by depository institutions with Federal Reserve Bank master accounts, was also knocked offline.

Every other transaction service maintained by the Fed was also affected by the disruptions.

In a series of service alerts, the Fed said that its staff first became aware of a ‘disruption for all services’ at around 11.15am. A view of The Federal Reserve Bank of New York Building at 33 Liberty Street +2

‘The Federal Reserve Bank staff is currently investigating a possible issue or disruption to multiple services,’ the Fed said in an alert at 12.43 pm.

An update at 1.18pm confirmed the disruption and added ‘We will continue to provide updates as soon as they are available.’

‘We acknowledge that payment deadlines are impacted and will communicate remediation efforts to our customers when available,’ the Fed said in a service alert. ‘Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve the issue.’

‘Our technical teams have determined that the cause is a Federal Reserve operational error. We will provide updates via service status as more information becomes available,’ the Fed said in a service alert at 2.14pm.

Applications for the Central Bank, the bank-of-banks where financial institutions deposit funds, were back online as of 2.17pm.

By 2.46pm, Fedwire resumed processing as normally. FedACH was back online by 2.55pm.

‘The Federal Reserve Banks have taken steps to help ensure the resilience of the Fedwire and NSS applications, including recovery to the point of failure,’ the Fed said in an alert.

The Fed said that it would extend settlement deadlines on Wednesday to allow banks to clear the backlog of transactions that piled up during the outage.

It was not immediately clear whether the disruption would delay bill payments or paycheck deposits for consumers.
