The real issue with livestock is however that it is becoming physically and economically unsustainable: Soil is getting scarce and crops for livestock food already use up to 1/3 of the arable soil (source: FAO. Any increase of this would mean taking a part of the soil used for vegetable production. And despite what some may say this is not feasible because there are people depending on for their own food that and because despite all, vegetables, energy and utility crops and fruit are still a bigger economical player than livestock (face it: even the vegetarians need bread, jeans and beer). And the Frankemat would still need to hog on the resources that are used nowedays directly for meat production or use a part of the other ones making that it would remain expensive.
I have seen a few interview already here in the Dutch TV and for what I recall the stuff is grown on a substrate made of animal bones and there was some other animal products involved, so that the whole point of "slaughterless meat" is not met either.
Back to the economical aspect. It is important to note that meat has no special magical properties and it is 'per se' not strictly necessary, in fact the only thing that meat has in a certain abundance are essential aminoacids. Proteins are not strictly needed for us to survive: We take them form whatever source and divide them into aminoacids, that's all and it doesn't really matter where we get these from or if we get them directly as aminoacids or as proteins. There are also a few vitamins and non-essential aminoacids such as beta-alanine and glutamine and vitamin B12 that can be found in "natural" red meat (not so in common supermarket meat), but both are also available from artificial sources. Regarding the texture there are also cheaper alternatives available such as Quorn, textured soy or to some extent tofu. Note that I am not trying to advocate for vegetarianism but only to point that there are already cheaper alternatives in the market so that I don't even see that this stuff will ever reach mass production...
Unless, of course, they get the basic material from completely different sources such as micro algae grown in bio-reactors or something like that.... but this seems as far flung as the fision reactors.
LOL. It happens that I was just checking out both things: I want to buy a pressure cooker for my B-day and also a nice military backpack.
XD
Maybe they take it aw an excuse to visit our local coffee-shops (they don't sell coffee in them)
Humungous megapixel numbers aren't of any interest for the serious photographer since a long long time ago. It basically only means that a given sensor has been divided into so-and-so-many little pieces or that the software renders them into these. It's of no use in regard to DOF. And I forgot to mention that ssensor size is also directly proportional to light sensitivity.
Point ans shoot cameras are out of the discussion here. And system camares still sport at least a 4/3 sensor...and wifi, and facebook, and bla, blah, blah
If the author meant that this phone could be interesting for the serious photographer he has got something wrong:
Despite having all the settings of a DSLR (or a system camera for that matter) it lacks something important: Depth of Field. With smaller sensors the DOF is aleays too large to be of use. We photogs use DOF a lot on composition, it is actually very important as we can blur the background and in this way highlight the subject of the photo. Please note that composition is not set of random rules but a series of best practices meant to make the viewer know what you want to show her. This is specially important in press photography. DOF depends on the focal lenght of the lens and the sensor size (image format) and the aperture.
And since the arrival of compact system cameras with good lenses and decently large sensors (damn, there's even a full frame compact out there!) the convenience of a phone-sized device is not such an important factor, even more when we consider that some cameras come with Wifi and all of the, can record video and sound.
Nice to hear. I just watend to show of a bit, ROFLMAO.
In any case, literature seems to be rather divided, specialy the more serious sources:
Here is quote from ExRx.net regarding the role of ascorbic acid in recovery, which pretty much coincides with other aspects of the role of AA in excercise:
[...] In summary, the role of vitamin C in exercise recovery is not known. The literature to date seems to imply that vitamin C probably has no direct significant role in muscle recovery from exercise, but may possibly play a significant indirect role in the process.
There is also a debate going lately questioning whether the use of antioxidants and inflamation inhibitors is a good idea at all, at least for athletes and "weekend warriors".
he is right!
Working towards social equality is the cause that we here in Holland are half starved!!!
I am extremely hungry at this very moment (going to get myself some cord to chew on... or a dirty sock, has more vitamins)
XD
I am on an 18 weeks 55miles/week training program now with extra cross training (weight lifting and boxing), thus 6 days a week and 1-3 hours daily depending on the day.
So, Vitamin C you say? I'm all ears. Worth trying anyway.
Uuuuh, bad mojo!
I flew back to Holland in one of these a few months ago. Nice plane BTW, and the food and crew were excellent too, very different from our Dutch personal on the old and shabby KLM 747 that flew us to Seoul.
Had I know about this ice bug I would have taken the bus!!
AFAIK, the UK, United Kingdom, was formed with the Act of Union in 1707, or if you want in 1603 when James VI of Scotland became James I of England, thus between 410 and 306 years.
LOL, mate you fell asleep during history class or what?
The different nations of the British Islands had of course a long history dating back not thousands but tens of thousands of years, but the same can be said of almost any European country: Spain, founded officially in 1492 (521 years) or France... that's a tricky one, let's say 1792 which is then 221 years (the First Republic) although the Kingdom of France dates back to 843, 1.200 years thus, but hey, who cares about the French anyway.
You are certainly correct in that our nations can look back at tens of thousands of years of uninterrupted history: There's Stonehenge, Glastonbury... just an hour ago I was running among the funeral mounds of a proto-celtic bronze age culture called "Hilversum Culture" (I happen to live here in Hilversum, North Holland) which even had contact with the bronze age British. We had the Romans, the Gauls, the Celts, the Germans, the Goths, the Vikings, the Merovingian, the Sacred Roman Catholic Empire... it's mind bogging.
You are right! I hear this same thing on Youtube in an instructional video on how to recognize the illuminati.
It's a very good video called "How to spot an illuminati and how to prepare for the end of the world on 12-12-2012"... oh, wait...
Of course, I assume that the aim of the author of the article is to make it attractive by being controversial.
He merrily skips a few important things:
Air quality in general, air quality at street level, noise pollution, the fact that emissions concentrated on very localised spots are better controllable (Captain Obvious dixit)
But of course, the author has to sell hist stuff and pay his bills
In Socialist countries like Holland, were we happen to have the highest productivity in the world we are forced by contract to take our breaks.
We decide when to take them discussing with the others or asking the rest of the team and if somebody does something that's not fitting the rest of our colleagues would tell us.
And we are unionised, and the unions and the employers make many times common cause against the government... Well, here in Socialist Hell employer's are interested in making money and working efficiently instead of playing badass libertarian anti-everything jihadist. Maybe it's partly because 60% of Dutch are atheists? Just saying.
But hey, this is socialist hell were we have to suffer extreme poverty and a 3,5% of unemployment, elderly are being forced to suicide and we have a brothel in every corner plus a weed plantation on every roof... and Belgian beer!!! Yes, it sounds horrible I know. The socialist government forces us to drink Belgian beer instead of marvels such as Buttweiser (because only people who enjoy real dog pee are safe from Socialism!).
Easy answer:
It's an easy way of showing that they are useful and score an effortless success in order to justify their salaries.
A second answer would be that some guy/girl in a high position in the department has a nefew/niece that is good with computers and needs a job.
here in Holland they forced our ISPs to block the Pirate Bay with the expected results: Now we have 2 URL, the old one which is accesible again and the pirateproxy URL.
The "War on cyber-stuff" is like the war on drugs, but just better as it does not cause too much social damage: If a kid is caught doing cyber-thingies he/she usually doesn't get much more than a minor penalty and it can even look awesome on a CV.
And to put the icing on the cake we equip everything with cameras and broadcast the thing live and we have the first ever cyberpunk reality series!!!
Awesome!!
If there is no demand for the stuff, well, I guess it's the law of demand and offer...
The cause for the whaling fleet being still active is just that they needed to keep these people at work and there were some vested interests. The ships are far from modern or new and it seems that the market weren't so hot after all.
It's kinda fun that a "Tycoon" from Iceland was planning to hunt down 184 whales this year for selling them. Well, I hope he hasn't done yet... or that he is a great fan of the stuff because I can foresee that his menu will be somewhat monotonous in the coming years...
another idea would be to recycle the meat for mining purposes: Heavy metals and chemicals may get a good price in the commodity market.
BTW: How comes there are "tycoons" in Iceland? They still owe us Dutch half of their country and the other half to the Germans... WTF?
The most ridiculous thing in the world is a fluffy lardy nerd wanting to sound badass.
I can even imagine you balling your fist and making a "manly" gesture. LOL
My suggestion: Don't go to swim in Japan, they could hunt you down taking your for a blubber-whale.
Well, we don't need no stinking nerds;)
These little stinky critters with fat asses and glasses. Hate them. Unfortunately they use to be rather soft, not good for using them as heavy bag for training.
Maybe they would be a nice alternative for vivisection experiments:)

It is a good gimmick and an awesome stunt.

FYI cat's meat has a high content of toxins, that's why.

I always thought Proton disintegration meant something different.
Not so cheap: telling the FBI about stuff that was already known plus a few paid vacancy trips to the USA... maybe some hookers too.
Now you know what PRISM was created for. Oh noes, there's a platoon of marines on my front door.... Fuck! B52 bombing my backyard!
