Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half

Energy supply

Energy supply is the delivery of fuels or transformed fuels to point of consumption. It potentially encompasses the extraction, transmission, generation, distribution and storage of fuels. It is also sometimes called energy flow. 
This supply of energy can be disrupted by several factors, including imposition of higher energy prices due to action by OPEC or other cartel, war, political disputes, economic disputes, or physical damage to the energy infrastructure due to terrorism. The security of the energy supply is a major concern of national security and energy law.

Where does our energy come from?

The energy available in the #European Union comes from energy produced in the EU and from energy imported from third countries. Therefore, in order to get a good overview of the total energy available in the EU, energy production should always be put in context with imports. In 2020, the EU produced around 42 % of its own energy (up compared with 40 % in 2019) while 58 % (down compared with 60 % in 2019) was imported. This decrease in imports is partly linked to the COVID-19 economic crisis.

Petroleum products have the largest share in the EU energy mix

In 2020, the energy mix in the EU, meaning the range of energy sources available, was mainly made up by five different sources: petroleum products (including crude oil) (35 %), natural gas (24 %), renewable energy (17 %), nuclear energy (13 %) and solid fossil fuels (12 %).

The shares of the different energy sources in the total energy available vary considerably between Member States. Petroleum products (including crude oil) account for a significant share of total energy available in Cyprus (87 %), Malta (86 %) and Luxembourg (60 %), while natural gas accounts for 40 % in Italy and 38 % in the Netherlands. Renewables have the highest share in Sweden (49 %) and Latvia (40 %), while nuclear energy makes up 41 % of energy available in France and 25 % in Sweden and Slovakia respectively. More than half of energy available in Estonia (53 %) and 41 % in Poland comes from solid fossil fuels.

The global appetite for solar panels is exacerbating the silver shortage

Technological changes in the production of solar panels are increasing demand for silver, a phenomenon that is deepening a shortage in the supply of the precious metal, while there is limited opportunity on the horizon to secure additional mining, reports "Bloomberg". Silver, in paste form, is used for the conductive layer on the front and back of silicon solar cells. But the sector is already starting to produce more efficient variants of cells that use much more metal, and this will contribute to increasing the already growing consumption.   Solar power still represents a relatively small portion of total silver demand, but it is growing. According to a report by The Silver Institute, it will account for 14% of consumption this year, up from about 5% in 2014. Much of that growth is coming from China, which is expected to install more solar panels this year than the United States. Demand for silver from the solar industry is growing. Chart: Bloomberg Solar energy is “a great

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WRITE LAWS: A regulation written entirely by chatbots was adopted in Brazil

  The city council of Porto Alegre, the capital of the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, passed a law whose text was written entirely with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) produced by ChatGPT. The document was created by AI with the help of questions entered by city council member Ramiro Rosario, and the proposal of that law allows the municipality not to charge taxpayers for replacing water meters if they are stolen, reported TASS. The city council already approved the document, and it was signed by the mayor Sebastiu Melu, and the members of the council, the mayor, and the citizens only found out after the law was passed that it was completely written by AI. - Our strategy was not to tell anyone that the AI did it, we just wanted to conduct an experiment. In the coming years, society will face a revolution in various fields thanks to artificial intelligence, and politics will not be left out of these changes, Rosario said. The American company OpenAI introduced the ChatGP
