Carbon neutral is actually when the amount of carbon dioxide we release and the amount of carbon dioxide we sequester reach an equilibrium which is a much bigger task than is suggested considering the amount we release....lets look at just one recent "SOLUTION",,,, HEAT PUMP CENTRAL HEATING,,, On its own it will still have a carbon footprint meaning even with all our solutions applied its the volume of applications due to the size of our population that will make the task so difficult to achieve as it will demand that what ever methods we use to sequester carbon emissions remain as constant as the things producing them,,,, How much carbon can we stick into the ground before doing so becomes another issue to tackle at a later date? How many trees ca we plant before we run out of space to plant them,,, a few decades of stressfully struggling to sequester what we are releasing isn't going to off set anything because as soon as our sequester options run out we are right back to adding to the damage that has already occurred of which we have not reduced in volume at all since going carbon neutral.... in real terms we need to be at carbon negative by 2030 which will give us the margins of error we need to create some breathing room....!
Hello I am the farmer from India In my location we have beautiful sheep breed named bandur ,Karnataka state But it is in extinction stage . Should I expect any technical support from your side to save this breed and improve the quality of bandur sheep
"Edging" typically refers to a sexual technique aimed at prolonging arousal and delaying orgasm. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to practice edging: ### Steps to Practice Edging 1. **Set the Mood**: - Find a comfortable and private space where you can relax and won't be disturbed. 2. **Start Stimulation**: - Begin with your usual methods of sexual stimulation, whether it's through masturbation, foreplay, or during sex with a partner. 3. **Monitor Your Arousal**: - Pay close attention to your level of arousal. The key is to become highly attuned to your body's signals as you approach the point of no return (the point just before orgasm). 4. **Approach the Edge**: - Gradually increase the intensity of stimulation until you are very close to orgasm. This point is often referred to as "the edge." 5. **Back Off**: - Just before you feel you are about to climax, reduce or stop the stimulation. This can be done by slowing down, changing the type of touch, or pausing altogether. 6. **Relax and Reset**: - Take deep breaths and allow your arousal to subside slightly. You don't want to lose arousal completely, but just enough to regain control. 7. **Repeat the Cycle**: - Once you feel your arousal has decreased enough, start the stimulation again. Repeat this cycle of approaching the edge and backing off multiple times. 8. **Eventually Allow Orgasm**: - When you decide to finally reach orgasm, you can let yourself go over the edge. The delayed climax is often more intense due to the prolonged build-up of arousal. ### Tips for Effective Edging - **Stay Attuned**: The most important aspect of edging is being in tune with your body's sensations. Practice helps in recognizing the exact moment to back off. - **Experiment with Techniques**: Different types of stimulation and rhythms can affect how quickly you approach orgasm. Experiment to find what works best for you. - **Communicate with Partner**: If you're edging with a partner, communication is crucial. Let them know when to slow down or stop to help you maintain control. - **Practice Regularly**: Like any technique, the more you practice, the better you will become at recognizing your body's cues and managing your arousal. ### Benefits of Edging - **Intensified Orgasms**: Many people find that the final orgasm is much more powerful after a period of edging. - **Increased Sexual Awareness**: Edging can increase your awareness of your body's sexual responses and improve control over your arousal. - **Extended Pleasure**: By delaying orgasm, you can enjoy prolonged periods of sexual pleasure. By following these steps and tips, you can effectively practice edging and enjoy the benefits it offers.
As a farmer, the primary objective is to monitor specific animals during different seasons, and as a result, it will be better to transfer data. One major flaw is that sometimes you want to only use the tags only for a limited time; say two years before selling. Thus, the ten year one-time use does not maximize the investment.
Great to witness TPS instruments contributing to impactful and practical applications! We've recently launched a new instrument, The Ranger, designed to enhance the ease and efficiency of pH and temperature measurements (as well as other parameters), it will make this job much easier and more efficient for sure.
There is no amount of lime you can add economically that’s going to make any meaningful difference to soil pH. Add lime to balance Calcium if required, not pH. Plant diversity and associated soil microbe diversity is the only way to manage pH. Grow what is suited to your soils.
Virtually all the problems with the pastures in the first presentation are not due to lack of fertility but rather lack of plant diversity and resulting lack of soil microbial diversity. Grasses with legumes just don’t cut it when it comes to building soil fertility and animal performance. Again Dr Jones has an excellent presentation. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1JQ2A8bUHNA.html
Very few soils in Australia are low in phosphorus if you look at the actual total P in soil. What they lack is the soil biology to make this P available to plants. Mycorrhizal fungi in particular is critical. Dr Christine Jones has excellent presentations on this. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lSjbVxTyF3w.html
The ideal pasture is one that has diversity. Research from the Jena experiment shows at least 4 different functional groups (plant families) is what is required to get quorum sensing happening in soils with resulting increase in plant health, yield and resilience. The research also showed that mixes without legumes fixed more nitrogen than mixes containing legumes. Good info on N here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dr0y_EEKO9o.html

"Cattle need to be good feed converters and need to be fertile"(1.40) This is an accurate description of Wagyu cattle,We found out by accident that per kilo of animal wagyu have one of the smallest sized digestive systems, They also are an amazing browser something I found out during the drought when I was running Fullblood wagyu cows on rough old red grass with lick blocks . They produced 2 calves during that period whilst shorthorn cattle on the same land were struggling to survive. They also have a propensity to get in calf regardless of season. Just my 2 cents
I've started a targeted grazing business in Northern California in areas that have been hit hard by the out of control wildfires. I'm starting with San Clemente Island goats because they are somewhat native, small, hardy and designated rare and endangered by the Livestock Conservancy. I've got a "two fer" plan; grazing for wildfire hazard mitigation during some months of the year and then raising to sell these rare and endangered animals. So far so good. I appreciate your promoting good genetics and the right animal for the job.
