Consumers flock to the farm gate as ACCC investigates supermarket prices – ABC News

The country might be in the grip of a cost of living crisis, but some consumers are willing to pay extra if it means more of their money gets to the farmer producing the food.

Baryulgil, New South Wales beef producers Bianca Tarrant and David McGiveron to started selling directly to consumers in the hope of getting better prices.

Five years after they started selling online they have more than 50,000 customers and a waiting list of about 600 farmers wanting to join their Our Cow business.

Marii Freire – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Eu sempre gostei de temas sociais. E escrever sobre violência é algo que me faz enxergar algumas faces do poder; poder que ocorre entre os mais fracos, e que poderia ser também algo atrelado a diferentes formas de violência e opressão. Há muitos temas que nos permitem fazer um trabalho com riqueza de detalhes. Mas o viés do que escolhi, também tem relação comigo, principalmente  pelo fato de ser mulher e, não conseguir ser indiferente a mim mesma.

Deforestation Exacerbates Risk of Malaria for Most Vulnerable Children

Forests may slow malaria transmission by cooling temperatures and reducing the potential for water to pool, which reduces the amount of time, and the number of places mosquitoes can breed.

And when it comes to malaria, the type of mosquito matters.

“We have non vector mosquitoes, and we have bad mosquitoes, which are vectors of human malaria parasite. Those vectors and human blood feeding ones are the ones creating this issue,” Estifanos says. “The most efficient malaria vectors are found in sub–Saharan Africa and three are the dominant ones: Anopheles gambiaeAnopheles arabiensis, and Anopheles funestus.”

Two of these species, Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles funestus, are highly anthropophilic—meaning they prefer to feed on human blood meal. The third type, Anopheles arabiensis, feed on livestock but will use human blood meals in their absence.

The UVM study used spatial data from the Malaria Atlas Project to determine if vector biology and deforestation influence malaria prevalence across landscapes. When the research team disaggregated the data by mosquito species, they found deforestation increased malaria prevalence in regions where the two anthropophilic species are dominant but not where Anopheles arabiensis thrive.

Tusk: Time of peace in EU is over, we live in pre-war times

The time of peace in Europe is over, now everyone lives in pre-war times, and some friends of the EU live in the period of full-scale war.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said this in Bucharest at a meeting of the leaders of the member parties of the European People’s Party, Ukrinform reports, citing Rmf24.

“The times of peace are over, the post-war era is over. We live in new times – in the pre-war era; for some of our brothers, this is no longer even the pre-war era, but the period of full-scale war in its most cruel version,” Tusk said.

Journalist says Katie Britt’s story about child sex abuse ‘out-and-out lie’ | Republicans | The Guardian

Katz said that Britt, by not giving a location or a timeframe for the story, had deliberately tried to create a “beyond misleading” impression that the events had taken place recently and on US soil.

“All I had to do was key in Karla Jacinto Romero’s name … and it took me to [her] testimony to Congress from 2015 about her experiences in Mexico,” he said.

“It took place between 2004 and 2008. I don’t know what they put in the textbooks of Alabama these days, but Joe Biden was not the president of the United States in 2004 or 2008. In 2004 and 2008, the president of the United States was George W Bush, a Republican. [But] none of this really matters because none of these events took place in the United States – or even near the border.”

Katz added: “It seems very clear to me that she is trying to create an association in people’s minds between Joe Biden, the border, Mexicans, you know, Latins – people of Latin descent – and sexual violence. That’s what she’s going for and she is doing it on the basis of something that you can only say is an out-and-out lie.
