Development of world's first autonomous, zeroemission feeder postponed amid COVID-19 crisis

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the changed global outlook, the development of the world's first autonomous and electric container vessel Yara Birkeland is put on hold, Norwegian company Yara announced.

Yara has decided to pause further development of the vessel and will assess next steps together with its partners, the company stated. The hull of the Yara Birkeland vessel was launched to sea in Romania in February 2020. The ship is expected to arrive at the Norwegian shipyard in May where it will be fitted with various control and navigation systems and undergo testing before delivery to Yara.
Yara and technology company Kongsberg teamed up in 2017 with the ambition to build the world's first autonomous and zero-emission container vessel.

Replacing 40,000 truck journeys a year, Yara Birkeland seeks to reduce NOx and CO2 emissions and improve road safety in a densely populated urban area in Norway.

What are you saying,
Correctly, did I hear?
Are you speaking English?
Your words are unclear.

They swim in my mind,
I can hear your words;
Comprehension is different,
Though, from only being heard.

If I understood you
If that all made sense,
Then maybe I'd seem
Just a little less dense.

But, just as it is,
I cannot reply;
'Cause the thoughts in your head,
Don't make sense in mine.

QUARENTENAS FUNCIONAM PARA COMBATER O CORONAVÍRUS? VEJA O QUE DIZEM OS ESTUDOS

Dezenas de estudos científicos apontam que medidas de distanciamento social têm sido eficazes para reduzir o número de infectados e mortos ou diminuir a sobrecarga dos hospitais, mas, em geral, elas não conseguem debelar a pandemia sozinhas, sem a ajuda de testagem em massa ou rastreamento de infectados, e dependem muito da adesão popular em cada país.

Segundo alguns dos principais grupos de pesquisas de epidemia no mundo, quanto menos gente circula nas ruas, mais devagar a doença se espalha. Quanto mais cedo isso acontece, menos gente ficará doente no fim.

TEXT

Song for a Dying Planet (Joe Walsh, 1992)
Is anyone out there?
Does anybody listen or care anymore?
We are living on a dying planet,
[05] We're killing everything that's alive,
And anyone who tries to deny it
Wears a tie
And gets paid to lie
So I wrote these songs for a dying planet,
[10] I'm sorry but I'm telling the truth,
And for everybody trying to save it
These songs are for you, too.
Is anyone out there?

Diets aren’t the way to go when it comes to losing weight. That’s because they create temporary eating patterns – and, therefore, temporary results. Most dieters gain back any lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits. So what’s the best way to drop excess weight? Create a new normal! Weight loss is most likely to be successful when people change their habits, replacing old, unhealthy ones with new, healthy behaviors. Here are 5 ways to make that happen:

1. Exercise. Regular physical activity burns calories and builds muscle – both of which help you look and feel good and keep weight off.

2. Reduce screen time. People who spend a lot of time in front of screens are more likely to be overweight.

3. Watch out for portion distortion.Big portions pile on extra calories that cause weight gain.

4. Eat 5 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Fruits and veggies are about more than just vitamins and minerals.

5. Don’t skip breakfast. Breakfast kickstarts your metabolism, burning calories from the get-go and giving you energy to do more during the day.

The text instructs teenagers to reach a healthy weight by listing healthy behaviors they should adopt.

Leia o trecho da notícia“Amazon fires: what is happening and is there anything we can do?” publicada no jornal The Guardian e responda às questões.

What is happening in the Amazon? Thousands of fires are burning in Brazil, many of them in the world’s biggest rainforest, which is sending clouds of smoke across the region and pumping alarming quantities of carbon into the world’s atmosphere.

Does this happen every year? Yes, but some areas have suffered far more than usual. In the worst-affected Brazilian state of Amazonas, the peak day this month was 700% higher than the average for the same date over the past 15 years. In other states, the amount of ash and other particulates in August has hit the highest level since 2010.

What is the cause? Most of the fires are agricultural, either smallholders burning stubble after harvest, or farmers clearing forest for cropland. Illegal land-grabbers also destroy trees so they can raise the value of the property they seize. But they are manmade and mostly deliberate. Unlike the huge recent blazes in Siberia and Alaska, the Amazon fires are very unlikely to have been caused by lightning.

A Mother In a Refugee Camp

No Madonna and Child could touch
Her tenderness for a son
She soon would have to forget...
The air was heavy with odors of diarrhea,
Of unwashed children with washed-out ribs
And dried-up bottoms waddling in labored steps
Behind blown-empty bellies. Other mothers there
Had long ceased to care, but not this one.
She held a ghost-smile between her teeth,
and in her eyes the memory
Of a mother's pride... She had bathed him
And rubbed him down with bare palms.
She took from their bundle of possessions
A broken comb and combed
The rust-colored hair left on his skull
And then — humming in her eyes — began carefully
[to part it.
In their former life this was perhaps
A little daily act of no consequence
Before his breakfast and school; now she did it
Like putting flowers on a tiny grave.
