Razoni still not updating her position.
Navi Star through Gibraltar to Foynes. Ireland.
Polarnet still anchored.
Rojen still in Ravenna
Riva Wind entering Gulf of Alexandretta.
Sara joins 5 other cargo ships in Odessa.
On a related note, tracking the vessels is easy enough. How I can find out more about the cargo, what is loaded and unloaded and all that?

Razoni is on the move, possibly to Egypt, but not updating her position.
Navi Star in the Eastern Med, heading to Foynes, Ireland.
Polarnet steaming to anchorage south of Istanbul.
Rojen moored in Ravenna,
Riva Wind expected in Iskenderun in a day or so.
Riva Wind nearing Athens, Rojen passing Puglia on the way to Ravenna, Nav Star about to pass Sicily.
Razoni and Polarnet have not moved.
No change in the bulk carriers in Odessa.
Odd. The buyer of the Razoni's wheat cargo has refused to accept it, “citing a more than five-month delay”.
Polarnet still moored, Riva Wind still at anchor, Rojen passing Athens.
No further departures I can see.
Razoni still at anchor. Navi Star at anchor in Istanbul. Polarnet tied up in the Gulf of Izmit. Rojen on its way through the Marmara Sea. Riva Wind heading for the Bosporus queue.
Doesn't look like there have been any further departures from Odessa.
Riva Wind left Odessa this morning for Istanbul. No word yet what it is carrying.
Navi Star, Polarnet and Rojen all in the queue for the Bosporus.
Razoni at anchor near the Turkey/Syria border.
@SheilaDillon It could never be simple, not if you want to cover the externalities of both products in adequate detail.
@bonjouryannick You might want to look at https://indieweb.org/Micropub which has a few examples, libraries etc that you can modify or, depending on your system, adopt directly.
@decarola Devo trovare l’ora dell’ultimo treno a Roma, ma sicuro m’interessa.
Thank YOU @nelsonhist for doing the work and being happy to talk about it. Today, Grain and Empire closes the trilogy, leaving a lot still unsaid. Oceans of Grain is a terrific read that sheds light on so many disparate topics, all connected by wheat.
I see Jason using what looks like the AT 875 short shotgun mic as his desktop mic, possibly for podcasting and conferencing, and wonder how that compares to a less directional mic like my Electrovoice R50.
@TimDee4 More to it than spring and autumn. Thought to be a coded guide to the long-term storage of grain, known to the Ancients and then forgotten until rediscovered in the late 18th century -- without which there would be no global wheat trade. https://www.eatthispodcast.com/grain-persephone/
@jblanca42 And finance. This week, @nelshist explains that wheat warehouses were the first banks, how the grain futures market emerged from the US Civil War and how Russia robbed the widows and orphans of France.

Next week, empire!
A bookmark with a fixed number of sticky tags on it is a brilliant idea. No more tags? Stop reading and write notes on the things you tagged.
@ECLLD Very happy to see my dreams come true. I don't understand why my reader failed to pick up the feed automatically, but I have now added it and will look forward to seeing updates as they happen.
“Republicans are now preparing a Fascist coup while Democrats wring their hands and dither.”
It is a worry, to be sure.
@neilbuttery Agreed, blackcurrant leaf tea is delicious. Right now we also have an abundance of mint that will all die back in a couple of weeks. What other leaves are good to steep fresh?
@cll2606 This is annoying. It seems that my install of WithKnown is not playing nicely to POSSE Twitter replies. It might be something to do with Quilll, but I doubt it. More likely to be accumulating cruft in WithKnown. I want to keep using it, but ...
@RJABuggs @FoodiePharma I'm hearing that the main cold store is safe and has mostly been safety. So while there is clearly a present threat, it just isn't true that any “terrible loss to plant genetic resources” has occurred. @LiseLykkeS may know more.
Continuing my little excursions and using the IndieWebRing as my guide, I chanced up Chris DeLuca's CSS to Style a Novel https://www.chrisdeluca.me/article/base-css-to-style-a-novel/. I particularly liked the explanations for each of his chosen rules.

I feel a longer word deserves more turns and backspaces. Again, there's no point telling me when I have used both backspaces on my second turn, to clear and try again, if you are going to fill in the answer for me. I did get it, but won't spoil it.
@DianaEGarvin Where are you seeing teeth? The notches in the centre of the blade on the right are for holding the blade securely in the handle. They do not touch the face. The bit that shaves you is the shiny sharp edge.
@SarahTaber_bww Good to know. I guess you will announce the details here when the time comes?
@michmacklem Ever since I started editing audio digitally, I've longed for a `diff` that would play all the stuff -- call it noise if you must -- that I've cut out of piece.
I wonder what, exactly, makes this an architect's table rather than just a table? I expected it to be some kind of drafting table.
@simonathibault Which is better, to be driven nuts, or to be wholly dazed and confused?

@mikewilliams_v I am today reminded of a blog post I wrote on this day in 2007, about this study: The case of the disappearing teaspoons: longitudinal cohort study of the displacement of teaspoons in an Australian research institute. https://www.bmj.com/content/331/7531/1498.full
Time for a replication, don't you think?
@drgarethmottram I'm not convinced, mostly because the host didn't ask the questions I want answers to. The delivery mechanism does nothing for farmers not using an elaborate seed drill. N washes away, but the presence of N downregulates these microbes? Happy to be wrong, but ...
Unfortunately Jeremy has developed a staff infection in his lungs, along with pneumonia. He is currently on a ventilator to help him breathe, and has a feeding tube in.
Just rediscovered a game we used to play in the olden days of the internet. Search for "Unfortunately YourName"
@C2ooth Interesting post, and much of what you are looking for already exists within the IndieWeb community. HTTPS://indieweb.org as you perhaps know. Moreover, we are not all disenchanted tech utopians
@mer_matthews You can get turnkey Indieweb at micro.blog for $5 a month. The bigger question is, what has payment to do with it? Not everybody who publishes online is looking for payment. Maybe some dislike being sharecroppers for the silos. Not the same as wanting to be paid.
@mer_matthews I’m not competent to judge everything you have said, but I do know that it certainly does not cost $25 a month to have a site that makes use of IndieWeb principles and building blocks. Do you have specific examples in mind?
For the sake of completion, the solution is to edit Themes/Solo/templates/default/solo/shell/head.tpl.php or the equivalent file in whatever theme you are using.
I find this very interesting. As a podcast producer, I do not, generally, use a lot of music behind speech. That might be because I am a stick-in-the-mud old fart who learned that craft, such as it is, at a well-known broadcaster. Also, it is really difficult, especially when there is no-one I can ask to do it for me. Listening to track after track after track to find the right one is so time-consuming. But maybe that’s a waste of time? You seem to be suggesting that I just bung some smooth jazz under everything.
I love this idea:
Oct 30 (the number 30 in the octal number base) is the same as Dec 24 (the number 24 in the decimal number base)
Thank you Björn Wärmedal
@ChrisWiegman Strange you should say that. The protocols I use are alive and well, and they give me part of what I need from a community. I do feel good too, and that is part of the story, but to dismiss something you personally don't care for or use seems uncalled for.
@AgroBioDiverse You are a star! Manuel Elkin Patarroyo is the man.
"The chemically manufactured vaccine known as SPf66, invented by Patarroyo, had limited results with "only" 55 percent effectiveness. Even so, it was a breakthrough."
I hope @thedailybeast follows up.
@LSHTM All this talk of a first malaria vaccine ... first approved, maybe.
I can't be the only person who remembers early trials by a Venezuelan whose name, alas, I cannot remember. There was protection, but not enough. Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about?
@Economicbotany This six-week online course on Country Houses and the British Empire looks like it would be great, based on previous lectures from @corinne_fowler. I hope I can make time for it.
@ajspadial What made you remember?
@FallingTreeProd I've only heard one episode so far, but Scene on Radio's new series on the environmental crises with @amywestervelt is riveting, easily equaling the quality of previous series.
@scatmandan Understood. And thanks for the picture of your poster. I'm new to the game and didn't know about that, but I've bookmarked the poster generator for next time.
@scatmandan Interesting. I was surprised when clicking on a hashtag to be taken to Twitter rather than your posts about geohashing on your own site. Is that deliberate?
There's just one problem with blaming Monsanto for "the public's distrust of GMOs" and that is that the majority of the public, at least in the US, do not distrust GMOs but willingly eat it at every opportunity. For those that do mistrust GMOs, yes, I too would blame Monsanto.
OK, I've had time to think about this and to do something, and I guess there's even a chance it could catch on, if @arush and @ladyhope are agreeable.

Peter Rukavina is working on changing his life by doing eight critical things each day. I reckon that's too many. If I get three done, I count that as a win. Maybe I need to trim my idea what constitutes a thing.
@b_pritchard Absolutely appalling. Whatever happened to the nationalist promise of being better able to feed its citizens? There can be no excuse for an increase in stunting these days.

@BBCFoodProg Given that more than 50% of food consumed in the UK is imported (more for fruit and veg), have any of the medical associations said anything public about UK food policy over the next few years? Should medical students be visiting Australia, not Oxfordshire?
@herdyshepherd1 The pain for British farmers is real. However, outsourcing British food production to the rest of the world is nothing new. The deal is a return to the good old days of Empire, just like, er, Brexit.
