KimStudies - Home. GMO salmon may soon hit food stores, but will anyone buy it? It’s taken almost two decades, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may be close to a ruling on the world’s first genetically modified animal protein. AquAdvantage salmon is a product of the Massachusetts-based biotech firm AquaBounty Technologies. Designed to reach market size in about half the time of standard farmed salmon, the fish would be the first genetically engineered animal approved for human consumption. Producers say the salmon is safe to eat, environmentally friendly and can feed more of the population with less resources, compared to other farmed fish. But last week two major store chains, Kroger and Safeway, joined a growing list of supermarkets that say that they will refuse to sell the salmon -- dubbed “frankenfish” by critics -- raising questions about whether consumers will buy it, even with the FDA’s approval.
The issue is highly controversial. “Before we say we’ve come up with a way to feed the growing population, what are we putting at risk in exchange?” FDA To Announce Decision On Genetically Modified Salmon. Alaska’s Congressional delegation is bracing for an FDA decision on genetically modified salmon and Sen. Mark Begich has asked the head of the agency not to exploit the holiday season to release what’s expected to be an unpopular report. Download Audio At issue is a U.S. company’s plan to create Atlantic salmon eggs for fish farms that include a Chinook salmon gene.
AquaBounty hopes to produce fish that grow to market size in half the time – Begich calls it Frankenfish. “FDA has never approved anything of this nature, which is basically cloning, and from that perspective I don’t think they’re prepared to understand the potential long-term impacts,” Begich said. Last year, on the day after Christmas, the FDA officially announced its initial ruling in favor of gene-modified salmon. Begich says it’s like they were trying to slip something by when Americans weren’t looking.
Nearly 38,000 people wrote comments to the FDA about AquaBounty’s plan. A new method against genetically modified salmon: Get retailers to refuse to sell it. Consumer and environmental activists, facing likely defeat in their bid to block government approval of the first genetically engineered salmon, are trying a different tack to keep the fish off America’s dinner plates: Getting retailers not to sell it. And they’re making headway. Some of the nation’s most recognizable chains — including Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s and Target — have agreed in recent months to steer clear of the fish. A spokeswoman for Safeway, the nation’s second-largest grocery chain, said the chain doesn’t have “any plans to carry GE salmon.”
Activists are pressing Kroger, the country’s largest grocer, to make a similar commitment. “The goal is to make sure there is not an available market for genetically engineered seafood,” said Dana Perls, food and technology campaigner at Friends of the Earth, an international network of environmental organizations helping to lead the effort to make the fish unwelcome. “These are coordinated campaigns. . . .

Planerings- och bedömningsstöd i engelska | Min undervisning. I facebookgruppen engelska i år 6-9 dök det tidigare upp en fråga om hur man gör en LPP. Jag har under året gjort ett par som ska underlätta arbetet vid dels planeringen och vid bedömningen.
Så de kommer här nedan: Först blev jag nyfiken på vad som skiljer år 6 mot år 9 och vad vi ska lägga in i undervisingen på högstadiet. Här är en som visar skillnader i det centrala innehållet samt matris mot år 6 jmf mot år 9. Och en som visar den röda tråden i engelska Jag ville sedan också strukturera förmågorna med vad som står i det centrala innehållet och gjorde en mall för perception samt reception med matriser i dem som visar vad som bedöms vid NP och vad som inte kommer fram. Denna är en mall för perception inkl matris Denna är en mall för recepion inkl matris Men vad är det vi bedömer? Bedömningsaspekter utifrån värdeorden Och sist en mall för LPP med alla ord från Lgr11 som ska in men man får ju ta bort de förmågor man inte jobbar med inom det område ni planerar.
LPP-mall Lycka till!

The Necklace She was one of those pretty and charming girls born, as though fate had blundered over her, into a family of artisans. She had no marriage portion, no expectations, no means of getting known, understood, loved, and wedded by a man of wealth and distinction; and she let herself be married off to a little clerk in the Ministry of Education.
Her tastes were simple because she had never been able to afford any other, but she was as unhappy as though she had married beneath her; for women have no caste or class, their beauty, grace, and charm serving them for birth or family, their natural delicacy, their instinctive elegance, their nimbleness of wit, are their only mark of rank, and put the slum girl on a level with the highest lady in the land. She suffered endlessly, feeling herself born for every delicacy and luxury. She had no clothes, no jewels, nothing. One evening her husband came home with an exultant air, holding a large envelope in his hand. "Nothing. "That's true.
