� � � � � � Buzzy Business: This Singapore-Based Startup Raised $28 Million To Grind Flies Into Farm Food - Forbes    Long regarded as pests, flies are often associated with disease, decay and death. To Nutrition Technologies–an honoree of this year’s Forbes Asia 100 to Watch list–the negative perception surrounding flies and other insects is precisely why they are an untapped opportunity for agricultural technology, also known as agritech. “People approach insects with a lot of baggage, a lot of fear and disgust,” says Martin Zorrilla, CTO at Nutrition Technologies, in an interview at the startup’s headquarters in Singapore. “We take advantage of the fact that society has looked away, and instead look very closely at these organisms and recognize how remarkable they are at what they do.” Founded in 2015, Nutrition Technologies processes black soldier fly larvae into supplements for animal feed and fertilizers.

One air traffic controller went into work drunk this summer and joked about “making big money buzzed.” Another routinely smoked marijuana during breaks. A third employee threatened violence and then “aggressively pushed” a colleague who was directing airplanes. The incidents were extreme examples, but they fit into a pattern that reveals glaring vulnerabilities in one of the most important protective layers of the nation’s vaunted aviation safety system.

My Friend Was One. -     Friends and family laid cameras and flowers on the grave of Issam Abdallah, a Reuters journalist.Credit...Zohra Bensemra/Reuters Lama Al-Arian is a multi-Emmy-award-winning journalist based in Beirut. I was sitting in my apartment in Beirut on the evening of Oct. 13 when I read that journalists had been struck by a missile attack in southern Lebanon. My close friend, Issam Abdallah, was working in the area as a cameraman for Reuters to cover the border clashes between Israel and Hezbollah after the war in Gaza began just days earlier. I called him immediately. It was a ritual we had developed over the years: Whether we were on the front lines in Ukraine or Syria, each of us knew to expect a call from the other anytime a disaster struck. Continued here
