Characterised by black hulls and black funnels, the company's ships were entitled to fly a French tricolour, with a green thistle on the white central section when entering any French port. This was in recognition of the fact that Hutchison ships had carried medical supplies free of charge for France during Franco-Prussian War of 1870 to 71.

This book looks fascinating, especially if you are interested in incineration, which I currently am

Because of course

#Trump called for the #US & other #oil producing economies to pump more oil as #crude prices remain volatile following US strikes on #Iran.

Trump urged stepped-up production as the admin sharpened its warnings to Iran against closing the #StraitOfHormuz, a vital oil & #gas #shipping lane.

“To the Department of Energy: DRILL, BABY, DRILL!!! And I mean NOW!!!” Trump posted on social media.

#Shipping through the strait encompasses ¼ of “total global seaborne #oil trade,” per #EIA, & protecting the route has been a preoccupation of US #military since the days of the shah of #Iran, deposed in 1979.

[#NewZealand is NOT on the map – again!!!]
“In light of nationalist trends, disruptions to global food supply chains and efforts to concurrently promote sustainable diets, we assess national capacities to achieve dietary guidelines based on domestic production alone. Over a third of all countries cannot meet self-sufficiency for more than two of the seven essential food groups. Low self-sufficiency and overdependence on a few countries for imports threaten their capability to respond to global shocks, particularly for small states…”
