  • Food in a Warming World the Changing Foods on the British Plate
    FOOD IN A WARMING WORLD THE CHANGING FOODS ON THE BRITISH PLATE Food in a warming world: - The changing foods on the British plate Executive Summary Our climate is changing at an alarming rate, with 2015, 2016 and 2017 confirmed as the three warmest years on record. The international Paris Agreement has been created to limit the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change, and it recognises the breadth of activities that contribute emissions. The role of the food we eat has come into the spotlight in addressing climate change, and it is now evident how much we can all do to help global efforts by adapting our diets. This report takes the example of four iconic, classic UK dishes: chicken tikka masala, fish and chips, ploughman’s lunch, and cawl, Wales’ famous lamb stew. We consider where the ingredients come from and how much the different ingredients contribute to carbon footprint. For comparison, one example result shows that the emissions for the ingredients and preparation of one chicken tikka masala meal are equivalent to boiling a kettle 89 times to make a cup of tea. In doing so, we consider how the footprints of these meals compare to the ‘carbon budget’ we need to have adopted by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement. But the climate and our food is a two-way street. We have identified twenty risks posed by climate change to our classic British dishes, some affecting food production overseas, while others emerging on home shores. Example impacts include lower yields for global commodities like rice and soybeans; heat stress disrupting livestock productivity; warmer, wetter conditions leading to pest invasions and proliferations; and water shortages threatening age-old production regions.

  • Achilles and the Caucasus
    1 Achilles and the Caucasus Kevin Tuite1 Université de Montréal Achilles, the hero of the Iliad, is based on a mythical personnage of pre-Homeric antiquity. The details of his “biography” can be reconstructed from other sources, most notably the Library of Apollodorus. In this article features relating to the parentage, birth, childhood and career of Achilles are compared to those of legendary figures from the Caucasus region, in particular the Svan (Kartvelian) Amiran, the Ossetic Batradz and the Abkhazian Tswitsw. I argue that the striking correspondances between Achilles and his distant cousins from beyond the Black Sea derive from a mythic framework in which were represented the oppositions between domesticated and savage space, and between settled life, with its alliances and obligations, and a sort of male- fantasy life of exploitation and unconstraint. The core elements of the figure I term “Proto-Achilles” appear to be quite ancient, and can be added to the growing body of evidence relating to ancient contacts between early Indo-European-speaking populations and the Caucasus. 0. INTRODUCTION. It appears more and more probable that the Proto-Indo-European speech community — or a sizeable component of it, in any event — was in the vicinity of the Caucasus as early as the 4th millenium BCE. According to the most widely-accepted hypothesis and its variants, Proto- Indo-European speakers are to be localized somewhere in the vast lowland region north of the Black and Caspian Seas (Gimbutas 1985, Mallory 1989, Anthony 1991). The competing reconstruction of early Indo-European [IE] migrations proposed by Gamkrelidze and Ivanov (1984) situates the Urheimat to the south of the Caucasus, in eastern Anatolia (see 1A shorter version of this paper was read at the McGill University Black Sea Conference on 25 January 1996, at the invitation of Dr.

    Genus Vol. 12 (2): 105-235 Wroc³aw, 30 VI 2001 A study on the genus Chrysolina MOTSCHULSKY, 1860, with a checklist of all the described subgenera, species, subspecies, and synonyms (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Chrysomelinae) ANDRZEJ O. BIEÑKOWSKI Zelenograd, 1121-107, Moscow, K-460, 103460, Russia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A checklist of all known Chrysolina species is presented. Sixty five valid subgenera, 447 valid species and 251 valid subspecies are recognized. The following new synonymy is established: Chrysolina (Apterosoma MOTSCHULSKY) (=Caudatochrysa BECHYNÉ), Ch. (Synerga WEISE) (=Chrysonotum J. SAHLBERG), Ch. (Sulcicollis J. SAHLBERG) (=Minckia STRAND), Ch. (Bittotaenia MOTSCHULSKY) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Hypericia BEDEL) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Ovosoma MOTSCHULSKY) (=Gemellata J. SAHLBERG, partim, =Byrrhiformis J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. (Colaphoptera MOTSCHULSKY) (=Byrrhiformis J. SAHLBERG, partim), Ch. aeruginosa poricollis MOTSCHULSKY (=lobicollis FAIRMAIRE), Ch. apsilaena DACCORDI (=rosti kubanensis L.MEDVEDEV et OKHRIMENKO), Ch. fastuosa biroi CSIKI (=fastuosa jodasi BECHYNÉ, 1954), Ch. differens FRANZ (=trapezicollis BECHYNÉ), Ch. difficilis ussuriensis JACOBSON (=pubitarsis BECHYNÉ), Ch. difficilis yezoensis MATSUMURA (=exgeminata BECHYNÉ, =nikinoja BECHYNÉ), Ch. marginata marginata LINNAEUS (=finitima BROWN), Ch. pedestris GEBLER (=pterosticha FISCHER DE WALDHEIM), Ch. reitteri saxonica DACCORDI (=diluta KRYNICKI). Ch. elbursica LOPATIN is treated as a subspecies of Ch. tesari ROUBAL, Ch. unicolor alaiensis LOPATIN - as Ch. dieckmanni alaiensis, and Ch. poretzkyi JACOBSON as a subspecies of Ch. subcostata GEBLER. Ch. peninsularis BECHYNÉ is a distinct species, but a subspecies of Ch. aeruginosa, Ch. brahma TAKIZAWA is a good species, not a synonym of Ch. lia JACOBSON (= freyi BECHYNÉ), and Ch. dzhungarica JACOBSON is a good species, not a synonym of Ch.
