[ICYMI] Following an 18-month investigation, Eskom concedes it made R3-billion in irregular payments to diesel suppliers.
AmaBhungane’s investigation alleged that Eskom made at least R3-billion in prepayments to little-known suppliers who were struggling to deliver enough diesel to Ankerlig when the country was faced with loadshedding in 2025.
While Eskom’s 7-page press release did not use the word “prepayments”, it did refer to “advanced payments” and what it calls “payments outside of the contractual terms”.

Se chiudiamo gli occhi e pensiamo all'olio italiano, ci vengono in mente olivi che degradano verso il mare, sulla costa tirrenica o adriatica, oppure oliveti alternati a cipressi sulle colline toscane. Ma il cambiamento climatico ci spinge verso un altro tipo di paesaggio: alberi all'ombra delle Alpi, sulle sponde del lago Maggiore, lungo il saliscendi delle Langhe, alternati ai vigneti. Il Piemonte sta conquistando un ruolo di primo piano nella produzione di olio extravergine di alta qualità, artigianale, con prezzi che vanno dai 25 ai 40 euro al litro. Il cambiamento climatico, con inverni più miti, ha reso possibile ampliare le aree di coltivazione, ma alla crescita contribuiscono anche la ricerca di nuove opportunità agricole e la necessità di diversificare le produzioni.

It always strikes me how much random traffic is still allowed to occur in forage crops in the arable rotation.
Axle loads above 10-12 tons result in compaction below 50cm, which is not easily rectified by frost, roots or deep cultivation (Penn State research in the early 00's).

Hoewel die sybokhaarbedryf klein lyk, speel dit op wêreldskaal ’n massiewe rol. SA het in 2025 altesaam 58% van die wêreld se bokhaar geproduseer. Dis nou belangriker as ooit dat die hele waardeketting uitstekend sal presteer. tinyurl.com/3jh9uxyz @mohairSA

Ancient pollen can reveal worlds long lost to time. Harsanti Morley and Robert Morley show how fossil pollen from Central Java reconstructs early Pleistocene landscapes of mangroves, swamps, grasslands and early human habitats.

Een van die legendariese veldponde uit pres. Paul Kruger se tyd kom op Sondag 28 Junie onder die hamer. En nee, dit hou glad nie verband met die beweerde Krugermiljoene nie, maar dit ís wel baie waardevol.

Before buying another soil inoculant, ask:
Is my soil missing microbes, or are the right microbes already there but suppressed by conditions?
Fix the soil, and the biology follows.
