The Best News of Last Week

1. ‘We are just getting started’: the plastic-eating bacteria that could change the world

In 2016, Japanese scientists Oda and Hiraga published their discovery of Ideonella sakaiensis, a bacterium capable of breaking down PET plastic into basic nutrients. This finding marked a shift in microbiology's perception, recognizing the potential of microbes to solve pressing environmental issues.

France's Carbios has successfully applied bacterial enzyme technology to recycle PET plastic waste into new plastic products, aligning with the French government's goal of fully recycling plastic packaging by 2025.

2. HIV cases in Amsterdam drop to almost zero after PrEP scheme

According to Dutch AIDS Fund, there were only nine new cases of the virus in Amsterdam in 2022, down from 66 people diagnosed in 2021. The organisation claimed that 128 people were diagnosed with HIV in Amsterdam in 2019, and since 2010, the number of new infections in the Dutch capital has fallen by 95 per cent.

3. Cheap and drinkable water from desalination is finally a reality

In a groundbreaking endeavor, engineers from MIT and China have designed a passive solar desalination system aimed at converting seawater into drinkable water.

The concept, articulated in a study published in the journal Joule, harnesses the dual powers of the sun and the inherent properties of seawater, emulating the ocean’s “thermohaline” circulation on a smaller scale, to evaporate water and leave salt behind.

4. World’s 1st drug to regrow teeth enters clinical trials

The ability to regrow your own teeth could be just around the corner. A team of scientists, led by a Japanese pharmaceutical startup, are getting set to start human trials on a new drug that has successfully grown new teeth in animal test subjects.

Toregem Biopharma is slated to begin clinical trials in July of next year after it succeeded growing new teeth in mice five years ago, the Japan Times reports.

5. After Decades of Pressure, US Drugmaker J&J Gives Up Patent on Life-Saving TB Drug

In what can be termed a huge development for drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) patients across large parts of the world, bedaquiline maker Johnson and Johnson said on September 30 (Saturday) that it would drop its patent over the drug in 134 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).

6. Stranded dolphins rescued from shallow river in Massachusetts

7. ‘Staggering’ green growth gives hope for 1.5C, says global energy chief

The prospects of the world staying within the 1.5C limit on global heating have brightened owing to the “staggering” growth of renewable energy and green investment in the past two years, the chief of the world’s energy watchdog has said.

Fatih Birol, the executive director of the International Energy Agency, and the world’s foremost energy economist, said much more needed to be done but that the rapid uptake of solar power and electric vehicles were encouraging.

[larkingame]

so, it's 2025...long time no see.

I'll skip they hi, how are yous and get down to the real meat and potatoes of what I'm here to say. TLDR: Larkin is still being worked on (screenshots + such below) and it's always going to remain a free game, but it's under heavy construction atm. thanks for checking in 🫡

for the two people who want to hear the long sob story that usually comes with these type of posts from online creators: I fucked up my back majorly and was out of work for a long time. I went back to work pre-maturely and! I've fucked it up again. the stress of this, lack of income and the fact that i've been taking a lot of meds to help the injuries (but mess with my ability to stay coherent) has made it really difficult to consistently focus on larkin, writing, social media in general, but it is still getting worked on in bits and pieces.

that said, some back story: I started working on larkin in 2019/2020 and it was really really fun! loved it. had a great time. but then i started posting about it and showed it to other people (and to my surprise they??????? liked it????) which made me put a very large amount of pressure on myself that made it not so fun any more. over time i would go through cycles of it's fun! to it's not fun! and so on and so forth. throughout this time I also had pressure from a lot of people around me (irl) to somehow like. strictly monetize larkin somehow, and as someone who was like VERY INSECURE and obsessed with people like mishka making like insane funds off of her game of the same type?/genre? i gave in to that pressure (if you could not tell by all my occasional dirty deletes of shade towards twc. truly pathetic and if any of yall saw. apologies and thanks for ignoring it.) addressing that: i liked twc when it came out, it was fun for what it was and larkin would not exist without it. so thanks for that miss jenkins and i will probably still passively engage with it on my own time.

but, back to larkin. anyways, the looming pressure of this need to monetize made me hate everything that i was doing and constantly feel like i needed to re-evolve and rework and just, overall not have a fun time with it. throughout the months of november, december and january when i was really missing the days of larkin's existence as an idea when me and my sister would just like walk around our neighborhood and i would just infodump to her about my cowboy vampire ocs. so i found my old larkin notebook and the stickies i made planning plot stuff and avoiding tumblr i just. had fun working on my little cowboy vampire game. like not really thinking about other stuff. and that's essentially it.

so I came to a conclusion: larkin is something i love, and i want to continue loving it. so essentially, i won't be monetizing the game itself. episodes/chapters whatever they end up being in the end will always be free. yay. if you want extra content/want to support me in some way monetarily, feel free to join the patreon, however, I won't really be active on it until i have something substantial to show you game wise. that being said, you can still subscribe for access to the backlog of short stories and art etc. I'm turning off charges each month until i have like a real game for you to play that doesn't make me sick to my stomach to look at or think about. another note: pc players are going to be priority until it's finished. I will have a mobile version but i can't promise you she will be all that pretty.

another note, because larkin is free i can't promise quick turnarounds on anything but what i'll be offering on patreon when i start charging again and additionally: i'm back to making larkin a game for me. i really lost a lot of enjoyment for doing this stuff when i thought about that pressure i put on myself like i mentioned above but also, when i started writing it for other people in mind. first and foremost i am making larkin because i like cowboys, i like vampires, i like horror and religious trauma themes. i'm writing this for me: kc, so i can go on my computer and teehee at all the kissing scenes and make a cool cowboy character with fights. i'm going to make it gay and self-indulgent and basically just have fun with it because it's my game and i am making it and i said so.

all that said here are some of the major things i've done with larkin over this past little while:

updated the website so that it is now useable :)

done a lot of work on the ui:

and i have been rewriting a lot of stuff because I FEEL like it was not good and was not fun for me. THE DEMO FROM LAST JUNE ESPECIALLY. it hurts my stomach to look at.

visually, dan (@tapeworrmart ) has been on his fucking a-game with the art even through my crisis. here's the male ace portrait he put together for me last fall and the art for the main menu:

we also have some more art in the works that i am very excited for because they are in pursuit of new fun features :D

all that said. thanks for the continued support if you're still reading this, appreciate any interest you have in my game.

My Thoughts on Epic's New Store: FAB

Today, Epic unveiled the roadmap and plans for it's freelancer storefronts. I'm kinda worried this isn't the right idea. Subsuming all your content into one platform. These aren't embedded listings. They're total replacements. You can catch my complete thoughts on youtube, but I'll summarize here.

I've been selling on the Unreal Marketplace since 2021 and on sketchfab since as far back as 2019.

I have quiet the history with Unreal and today's news came a bit of a shock to me.

I wasn't aware Fab was going to be absorbing all these sites. I really liked having different sizes of uploads. Like Sketchfab was where you went for smaller assets and such and Marketplace for the bulky main courses in Unreal And Quixel for a ton of scanned stock assets. But it looks like it might've not been so profitable for Epic and Quixel. I mean high quality scans for free forever? Sounds like a scheme to get you hooked on them. Its gonna be a really big change in January. I just hope Fab's publisher portal has as many and maybe even more features than the current Marketplace Seller Platform.

This is all to say that I'm hoping that since the platform caters to a broader audience that it'll be more enticing for myself and other freelancers to make a passive income with their art.

Because in 2023 and 24 I had quite the tough time selling on my stores. As I don't think its a coincidence that the month after UEFN was announced it was the FIRST MONTH EVER that missed payout. And following that one month falloff, i had the worst year of sales ever. Thank God I still had some gigs coming in. But I was close to having a full living wage with my work. (by Puerto Rico standards)

Future of Intumescent Coatings Market: Demand and Growth Forecast to 2031

Global sales of intumescent coatings are projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 3%, reaching over US$ 1 billion by 2031, as reported by Fact.MR. This growth is largely driven by the increasing emphasis on passive fire protection. The oil and gas sector is anticipated to account for more than 40% of the global demand for intumescent coatings, propelled by significant exploration and extraction initiatives in key regions.

Various end-use industries, including building and construction, industrial applications, and aerospace, utilize intumescent coatings to enhance passive fire protection. These coatings serve as a fire-resistant barrier for substrates during a fire, facilitating quicker rescue and evacuation efforts.

Request a Sample Report:

According to the World Health Organization (W.H.O), fires alone are responsible for an estimated 180,000 fatalities annually, with additional deaths resulting from scalds, electrical burns, and other burn-related incidents. More than 90% of these fatalities occur in low- and middle-income countries. While many burns stem from accidents in residential environments, industrial settings also present significant fire hazards, contributing to a majority of burn injuries and incidents. Consequently, key end users are increasingly adopting intumescent coatings to help prevent such tragedies.

Intumescent Coatings Market - Competitive Landscape: Prominent manufacturers are leveraging such strategic initiatives as geographical expansion, partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, and new product launches to cement their market presence. Some notable developments are as follows:

In March 2021, Akzo Nobel collaborated with QLayers to acquire a stake in the company’s industrial coatings portfolio, part of the former’s Paint the Future collaborative innovation ecosystem.

Also, that same month, Hempel A/S inaugurated its new campus in Copenhagen, Denmark, which is an R&D facility expected to provide a hub for international scientists and contribute to accelerating and strengthening development of innovative solutions.

In January 2021, Albi Protective Coatings obtained the GREENGUARD Gold Certification for four of its products: Albi Clad TF+, Albi Clad TF, Albi Clad FP and Albi Cote FRL-X.

The Oil & Gas Industry: A Key Consumer of Intumescent Coatings

The oil and gas sector is projected to account for more than 40% of the global revenue share by 2031, making it a significant end-user of intumescent coatings. This anticipated growth is driven by increased investments in exploration initiatives, deep-water projects, and enhancements in refining capacity. The demand for these coatings is particularly pronounced due to the frequent occurrence of fire hazards on-site. Intumescent coatings provide essential passive protection for steel structures, including oil rigs and drilling equipment, by expanding in response to rising temperatures.

How Are Growing Energy Demands Driving the Adoption of Intumescent Coatings?

The expansion of the global population, coupled with rapid urbanization and infrastructure development, has led to a surge in energy consumption. This trend has resulted in heightened demand for traditional energy sources such as oil, gas, and shale across various regions. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), oil constituted over 35% of the total energy supply in 2019, primarily sourced from OECD countries, while natural gas accounted for nearly 30%. Consequently, there has been a significant increase in exploration activities, further elevating the need for intumescent coatings to maintain operational safety.

tiktok saved collection

i want to actually start using some of the things i have saved on my tiktok, so here is a collection of what i have so far and what i think of it.

movies i want to watch based on recommendations: atonement, little women (2019), before sunrise, (500) days of summer, midnight in paris, ford vs ferrari, get out

how to not waste your day away after a 9-5: listen to podcasts during your commute, try to stay off of your phone, do something creative, get into the routine of making time for yourself, cooking, movement/exercise, self-care, sleep/wake cycle balance

book recommendation based on my dark vanessa by kate elizabeth russell: the girl at the door by veronica raimo

creating routine when you're neurodivergent: feeding routine (safe list of foods and times to eat), morning routine (flexibility for high and low energy mornings), night routines (set yourself up for the next day)

short crochet project idea: mini loaf kitties

more short crochet projects: bandanas, fanny pack, scrunchies, jewelry holder, airpod keychain

book recs: they never learn by layne fargo, i'm not done with you yet by jesse q. sutanto, never saw me coming by vera kurian

painting: basic shapes first, color block, keep blocking colors until you get to the details

study advice: exams (study 2 weeks before), test (3-4 days before)... make a study schedule, review study material, make practice exams (AI), start with weakest subject, focus on hardest topics, use active recall

financial advice i guess (i don't know why i saved this i have no interest in finance): use a credit card to purchase things and pay off in full and on time every month, use a high yield savings account to make passive monthly income, budgeting to see where money is going

nursing exams: ABCs, nursing process (adpie), maslow's heirachy of needs

podcasts recs: what we said, maintenance phase, emergency intercom, sea moss girlies, binchtopia, anything goes (I LOVE THIS PODCAST), tyrants, ologies

listen to videoclub again lol

journal page ideas that aren't depressing: introduction page (pic of you and info about you at the moment), daily highlights page (monthly), letter to future self, vision boards, poems you like, recap of the month (shows, songs, essentially your favorites)

girls in ur 20s: find things that are easy for you and make money off of it (i.e. if you're good at art, find a career that works with that), have things you love that aren't your work as well, you have so much time (try things and fail at them), be protective of your energy!

omg i wanna sketch out my wedding invitations in the future

and that is all :) that was a lot.

Real estate is a sector where every individual considers investing once in a lifetime. Be it for securing the future for upcoming generations or earning passive income. The real estate market has always been able to sustain itself. Talking about the major cities in the country like Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, the city of Hyderabad has seen a progressively higher Real Estate exposure considering huge settlements and the development of new projects, including the world’s biggest Pharma City. A lot of speculation and news hush has already established a wide range of excitement. So there is a substantial chance that you are aware of open plots in Pharma city and, thus, have a better chance at securing your future.

Why Invest in Open Plots in Pharma City?

The pharmaceutical park near Hyderabad, India, is expected to be the world’s largest hub. The Park covers 19,333 acres, making it one of the massive industrial parks in the world for pharmaceutical production and development.

A project located between the Outer Ring Road and the Upcoming Proposed Regional Ring Road, which is under the supervision of the Telangana Government, is expected to generate USD 9.7 billion in investments and provide employment to 5,60,000 people. Hyderabad Pharma City will integrate the pharmaceutical value chain by developing it to international standards.

Moreover, National Investment Manufacturing Zone (NIMZ) status was granted to the project by the Government of India in December 2019 as the project has gotten designated as a Project of National Importance.

Location Highlights

The Pharma City Corridor includes Kandukur, Yacharam, Mucherla, Amangal, and Kadthal. Being close to the international airport and at the intersection of Nehru Outer Ring Road and Srisailam Highway, this corridor has high demand in real estate.

Advantages

Mamidipally, the international Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, Tukkuguda, Mansanpally, and Maheshwaram are among the upscale and developed localities within the corridor.

To expand its cloud computing service, e-commerce giant Amazon is looking at building two data centers near Hyderabad with an investment of $11.6 billion (11,630 crores). One of the centers is located with an investment of 5,809 crores on more than 48 acres (1,94,293 sq meters) in Meerkhanpet village (Pharma City) under Kandukur Mandal in neighboring the Rangareddy district.

Pharma City Open Plots – NS Homes

At Flivv Realty, we understand the Real Estate Market in a way that will benefit our clients and customers in the future. Thus, we established the NS Homes venture to sell and purchase open plots in Pharma City. Our project consists of 11 acres of land and 151 individual plots. The prices are relatively affordable since the road will develop soon (1 year, est. time). The venture has a 200ft facing the main road, and according to our assessments, we will also help you gain 25% ROI within the span of 1 year of purchasing.

Flivv Developers is a one-stop-destination for your Real Estate Solutions. Be it purchasing an open plot in the city or for the re-selling process. You can always count on us as we assist you throughout your Real Estate journey. Don’t hesitate to contact us to start your journey. Increase in your asset today for a promising tomorrow.
