Hey! Danone! Leave Those Cows Alone!
French Dairy Giant Considers Cow Masking to Tackle Methane Emissions
Breitbart | 01-18-2023 | Simon KentFrench dairy giant Danone said Tuesday it wants to slash methane emissions by 30 percent within seven years, pointing to the way the cows it uses are raised, handled, and milked as ripe for change.
AFP reports Danone said it would seek the cuts by 2030 using cow breeds that emit less methane, improving cow diets, prolonging their milking periods and capturing emissions from manure to be used for biogas, for example.
The company is also looking at innovative solutions to help reduce emissions including a cow mask that can trap burp gases, the report continues.

FEMA’s Help for Alaska Natives Had Mistranslations, Nonsense
AP | 13 Jan 2023 | Mark ThiessenANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — After tidal surges and high winds from the remnants of a rare typhoon caused extensive damage to homes along Alaska’s western coast in September, the U.S. government stepped in to help residents — largely Alaska Natives — repair property damage.
Residents who opened Federal Emergency Management Agency paperwork expecting to find instructions on how to file for aid in Alaska Native languages like Yup’ik or Inupiaq instead were reading bizarre phrases.
“Tomorrow he will go hunting very early, and will (bring) nothing,” read one passage. The translator randomly added the word “Alaska” in the middle of the sentence.
“Your husband is a polar bear, skinny,” another said.

The McLaren F1 announced the British supercar maker’s foray into modern racing when it was unveiled in 1992. Six years later, it set the record for the world’s fastest production car, at 242 mph. “The McLaren F1 was Formula One legend Gordon Murray’s high-tech supercar answer to Porsche and Ferrari,” Hagerty says. “And it didn’t just exceed the standards they established, it obliterated them. Driving an F1 is a sublime ballet of shocking power, braking, and control.” McLaren only built 64 of these, but fortunately, it just put up for sale chassis #69, the 60th model built.

The quirky Volvo P1800 was stylish enough for Roger Moore to drive one in the spy thriller TV series The Saint. This two-seater sports car is durable: one surviving model has clocked more than three million miles. Its brethren belong to private owners, but check with the Volvo Owners Clubs if you’d like to find one for sale or make an owner an offer.
