For 2022, the firms involved in the mining and manufacturing for those accounted for 27% of Tesla’s total emissions, reports Quartz.But the supply side isn’t the only thing to consider as we think about EVs and making the future work. And such “Scope 3” emissions – including those of suppliers – represented the deepest part of the product line’s carbon footprint.Batteries are a big factor. But this time, in Tesla’s report, it was part of the tally. What should we make of a recent report from carmaker Tesla reminding us that, even though its cars have no tailpipes, there are significant carbon emissions associated with getting them built and on the road?It’s worth thinking about, though there’s a lot more at play when it comes to electric vehicles and CO2 emissions.The vast network needed to supply raw materials and component parts for EVs makes for difficult accounting.

" "Star Wars" meets the Vampires in Moscow. " Night Watch is an epic of extraordinary power." As the two sides prepare for battle, Anton discovers that their destinies are closely intertwined, and the slightest wrong move could cause the destruction of Moscow, or even the world. Night Watch features Anton Gorodetsky, a mid-level Light magician, who during his first field assignment, stumbles upon a cursed young woman-an Other of tremendous potential power who has yet to choose between Light and Darkness. The forces of the Light tasked with keeping the Dark Others in check are the Night Watch. For the past 1000 years, the two sides have been locked in an uneasy truce, keeping their powers in balance as each side secretly plots to take the advantage for themselves. The Night Watch series tells the story of the Others, an ancient race of magicians, shape-shifters, vampires, and other supernatural beings that live among us, and swear allegiance to either the powers of Darkness or the forces of Light.

He read a lot and even though he generally was not as attentive to his learning and school as he could have been, he somehow received great grades anyway except for Algebra. He was an avid reader and some of his favorites included the Stuart Little series as well as gradually more complex and established adult authors that included Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Allen Poe, H.P.

It ends – well, I’m not going to tell you how it ends. Recommended by ALISON KERR COURTNEY, Biblioremedyĭavid Arnold’s “Kids of Appetite” begins with Victor Benucci, 16, stalling for time in an interrogation room at the Hackensack Police Department. Below, we’ve tapped on staff members from Lexington’s leading literary hub, The Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning, along with a few favorite local literary experts to recommend some of those voices for your winter reading pleasure. I’m happy to report that despite our country’s social and political upheavals, this year’s harvest of literature with a Kentucky connection has been especially fruitful, providing readers with an abundance of voices to please even the most particular of pallets. No doubt many will be happy to hit the reset button this winter and escape into hibernation mode with a hot beverage in one hand and a good book in the other. Political leanings aside, I think most of us can agree that 2016 was a rough year, marked by divisiveness, disappointment and loss around just about every corner. The bite is as sharp as it was in the early 80's, when I first read the book. I was pleasantly disappointed (a contradiction that might have pleased Heller). I returned to this modern classic not really expecting it to live up to my memory of its bite, cleverness and the inventive use of the absurd. And it's the most hillarious book you'll ever have read to you. It contains all the absurdity and horror of war. No-one acts rationally except Yossarian (and he's crazy). Scenes jump in the middle of conversations. If you don't know the book, it details the story of Yoissarian's attempt to stay alive in a world that doesn't make sense, where people are trying to kill him and the rules are against him. If you know the book and love it, you will love the Audiobook. It is clear, easy to understand and the character voices are mostly the same as I hear in my head. It is my favourite book that I come back to reread every few years but this audiobook will change all that - now I can have the book read to me every few months. Catch 22 is a classic stream-of-thought black comedy detailing the absurdity of war. The results demonstrated that high mRNA expressions of ANXA2, ANXA6, and ANXA7 were significantly associated with worse prognosis, while ANXA5 was correlated with better prognosis in adult AML. Quantitative reverse transcript real-time PCR (QRT-PCR) was performed to detect the ANXA2 expression level in the bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMMCs) obtained from 101 pediatric AML patients and 30 controls. GenomicScape tool was used to assess the prognostic value of the expressions of Annexin family members in a cohort of 162 adult AML patients. The aim of the present study was to assess the prognostic value of Annexin expressions in adult and pediatric AML. However, the diagnosis and prognosis of Annexin family expression in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remain elusive. Annexin family consist of 12 members, many of them are frequently dysregulated in human cancers. The plot is clear the subplots reinforce the main plot the surprises are not too.It's less odd than any of his other books (which might win him a larger audience): It might be both self-confession and wishful thinking by the author. how we take what we know and fashion it into fire.Īnd as a presentation as a sofa-activist, it strikes a chord. and implicitly of the process of any improviser. Wonderful presentation of a jazz musician's process. Reliance on coincidence, but no more so than Charles Dickens did.Much more description than conversation.This (like the previous point) is a way of getting the reader to pay extra attention to the text. The change of rhythm between un-metered and iambic Much of the text is iambic, so one almost feels it is. Trying to remember if they have heard of some particular thing outside of a Crace novel.
