Farming in the Sky
Agriculture is broken. Traditional techniques use too much energy and produce too little food for our growing planet. One fix: skyscrapers filled with robotically tended hydroponic crops and lab-grown meat
https://www.popsci.com/cliff-kuang/article/2008-09/farming-sky/
By 2025, the world’s population will swell from 6.6 billion to 8 billion people. Climate simulations predict sustained drought for the American Midwest and giant swathes of farmland in Africa and Asia. Is mathematician Thomas Malthus’s 200-year-old prediction, that human growth will one day outpace agriculture, finally coming to pass? Advances in farming technology have kept us fed so far, but the planet’s resources are tapped.
The choice is clear—rethink how we grow food, or starve. Environmental scientist Dickson Despommier of Columbia University and other scientists propose a radical solution: Transplant farms into city skyscrapers. These towers would use soil-free hydroponic farming to slash demand for energy (they’ll be powered by a process that converts sewage into electricity) while producing more food. Farming skyward would also free up farmland for trees, which would help remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Even better, vertical farms would grow food near where it would be eaten, thus cutting not only the cost but the emissions of transportation. If you include emissions from the oil burned to cultivate and ship crops and livestock in addition to, yes, methane from farm-animal flatulence, agriculture churns out nearly 14 percent of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions.
You can’t buy vertically grown groceries just yet. Most urban farming efforts have been small-scale experiments run in neighborhood parks. Despommier’s vision is bigger: a $200-million, 30-story tower covering an entire city block, stuffed with enough fruit, vegetables and chickens to feed 50,000 people. “With waste in and food out, a vertical farm would be like a perpetual-motion machine that feeds a lot of people,” he says. Most of the technology already exists, he adds, and with some refining, the project could be up and running quickly if granted 0.25 percent of the subsidies paid to American farmers in the past decade—a piddling $500 million.

Unveiling Hidden History
Woody Allen and the Royal Stewart/Konigsberg connections
http://mileswmathis.com/allen.pdf
To figure it out, let's go back to Woody's name. I can't believe I never noticed the middle name Stewart. That sort of jumps out at us now, doesn't it, given what we have learned in the past few years. Before, we probably would have read it as a common given name, but now that we are wiser, we see it as a probable surname. Which makes it all the stranger in its position here. We remind ourselves that it is not a name usually taken by admitted Jews—either as a given name or surname—and Woody has never denied he is Jewish, or tried to hide it or downplay it. Rather the reverse, of course. Stewart is a name we have seen with crypto-Jews, especially hailing back to Scotland, but the Konigsbergs and Cherrys (Woody's maternal line) are supposed to be from Russia and Austria. Curious, since we find Cherrys in the British peerage. So our first guess would be that Woody descends in one recent and important line from the famous Stewarts/Stuarts of Scotland and England. Almost all famous people we have looked at have been related to these Stewarts, and Woody is famous, so that is just playing the odds. Unfortunately, we find no easy proof of that, since Geni and Geneanet both scrub Woody in the same way. Little information is forthcoming, so the best we can do is guess.
The only information we get at the genealogy sites is information on Woody's Konigsbergs. We go back many generations, finding ourselves first in Russia and then Lithuania. This is a clue, because Konigsberg is a famous old town in that little sliver of land beneath Lithuania that is sometimes left out of modern maps, like Western Sahara. It is north of Poland and west of Russia, sometimes in the past belonging to Poland, Germany, or Lithuania, but now held by Russia as Kaliningrad. And things get very deep very fast when we study Konigsberg.
First of all, it is a Hanseatic seaport, which means it was (and is) an important part of the maritime trade in the region. Given what we have just learned in Gerry's series linking the Israelites to the Phoenicians, this should jog something in that pretty head of yours. Especially when we link it to another important clue: Konigsberg was founded by Teutonic Knights in 1255. If you don't know what that infers, see my paper on the Crusades, and substitute what we learned about the Knights Templar there for the Teutonic Knights here. We will see they were the same people hiding behind the same basic story.

Dawn of a new era: the revolutionary ion engine that took spacecraft to Ceres
https://theconversation.com/dawn-of-a-new-era-the-revolutionary-ion-engine-that-took-spacecraft-to-ceres-38502
The NASA spacecraft Dawn has spent more than seven years travelling across the Solar System to intercept the asteroid Vesta and the dwarf planet Ceres. Now in orbit around Ceres, the probe has returned the first images and data from these distant objects. But inside Dawn itself is another first – the spacecraft is the first exploratory space mission to use an electrically-powered ion engine rather than conventional rockets.
The ion engine will propel the next generation of spacecraft. Electric power is used to create charged particles of the fuel, usually the gas xenon, and accelerate them to extremely high velocities. The exhaust velocity of conventional rockets is limited by the chemical energy stored in the fuel’s molecular bonds, which limits the thrust to about 5km/s. Ion engines are in principle limited only by the electrical power available on the spacecraft, but typically the exhaust speed of the charged particles range from 15km/s to 35km/s.
What this means in practice is that electrically powered thrusters are much more fuel efficient than chemical ones, so an enormous amount of mass can be saved through the need for less fuel onboard. With the cost to launch a single kilogramme of mass into Earth orbit of around US$20,000, this can make spacecraft significantly cheaper.
