Amazing Four Emerging Economies and Geopolitical Influencers

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ The global power balance is shifting, and four major players are shaping the future. These emerging economic and geopolitical influencers— Latin America, the African Union, India, and China —are transforming global trade, technology, and diplomacy. Here’s why they matter 1. Latin America: A Region on the Rise Latin America is evolving beyond its traditional role as a resource exporter. Countries like Mexico and Brazil are boosting manufacturing and tech industries, while the Lithium Triangle (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile) is critical for the EV revolution. Trade ties with China, the U.S., and the EU are strengthening, and regional blocs like MERCOSUR and the Pacific Alliance are driving economic integration. Despite political instability and inequality, the region's urbanization, digital transformation, and renewable energy push make it a rising force. 2. African Union: A Continent’s Economic Awakening With 1.4 billion...

Full-duplex is Different From Full HD TV (FHD)

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Walking from one place to another and returning to the original place on the same day is not full-duplex; it's half-duplex . Why? In full-duplex communication, both directions are active simultaneously (like talking on a phone where both people can speak at once). In this case, you are walking to Zabok first and then back to Zagreb—these actions happen sequentially, not at the same time. This is analogous to half-duplex , where one direction is active at a time (like using a walkie-talkie, where you take turns speaking). When Would It Be Full-Duplex? If you could walk to Zabok and back at the same time , which is physically impossible. If you had a clone and one of you walked to Zabok while the other walked back to Zagreb. If you walked on a treadmill in Zagreb that was synchronized with another person walking to Zabok, simulating simultaneous movement. If you used teleportation , instantly appearing in Zab...

Cooking at Home is Better Than Ordering Food

Image
ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Nowadays, it's trendy to make food without glitz. Simple, modern dishes. It's different for vegetarian people like me, like vegetarian for ten years, since I'm careful about what I'm eating. To cook half an hour — cuz imagine how difficult to cook in summer, with all those heat waves coming up. Boiled food is usually healthier than grilled - soups, stews, like they dine in total institutions. It's better for the air conditioner, too.

In 1961, over 85% of the population had only elementary education or less, while just 12.6% had completed secondary education, and a mere 1.8% had higher education. By 2021, the share of the population with higher education had risen to 24.1%, reflecting a continuous increase in educational attainment. Regionally, the City of Zagreb leads with 39.1% of its population having completed higher education, followed by Primorj...

Innovations That Could Change the Future in the Metropolitan Area

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Instead of seeing city-center a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL)  airports as "impossible," think of them as the next frontier in mobility—one that requires bold investment, smart design, and an iterative approach. Placing vertiports on top of buildings is one of the most practical and forward-thinking solutions. Here’s why it works and how it can be implemented effectively: Why Building-Topped Vertiports Make Sense Efficient Use of Space : In crowded urban areas, rooftops are underutilized real estate. A vertiport adds functionality without taking up valuable ground-level space. Proximity to Users : High-rise buildings in city centers are often near businesses, residences, and transit hubs, reducing travel time for passengers. Integration with Urban Mobility : Vertiports can connect directly to elevators, parking garages, or subway stations, creating seamless travel experiences. Real-World Examples Vol...

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Question : »Intolerance further worsens the weak social ties of the homeless, isn't it?« Yes, intolerance often exacerbates the weak social ties of the homeless. Many homeless individuals already face significant challenges in maintaining stable relationships due to stigma, discrimination, and social exclusion. When society displays intolerance—through judgment, lack of empathy, or outright hostility—it further alienates them, making it harder for them to access social support or reintegrate into the community. This isolation not only worsens their mental health but also limits their opportunities for assistance, such as housing, employment, or counseling, which often depend on positive social connections. Building a more tolerant and understanding society is essential to breaking this cycle.

I'm Ending Stories in "Timeless Questions" Because Chatbots Are Very Convincing

Image
ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ A chatbot is a computer program that simulates human conversation with an end user. — What Is a Chatbot? - IBM Question : »Why are chatbots very convincing?« Chatbots have become increasingly convincing due to several factors that contribute to their ability to mimic human-like conversations. Here are some reasons why chatbots are getting more convincing: Advances in Natural Language Processing (NLP) : NLP has improved significantly over the years, allowing chatbots to better understand the nuances of human language, including context, tone, and intent. This enables them to respond more accurately and naturally. Large datasets and machine learning algorithms : Chatbots are trained on vast amounts of text data, which allows them to learn patterns and associations between words, phrases, and context. This enables them to recognize and respond to a wide range of questions and topics. Co...

Children in Gaza Need Help to Save Their Lives

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ Question : »What's the importance of getting vaccinated against Polio?« Getting vaccinated against polio is crucial for several reasons: 1. Prevents a Potentially Devastating Disease Polio (poliomyelitis) is a highly contagious viral infection that can cause paralysis, permanent disability, or even death. While most infections are mild or asymptomatic, the virus can invade the nervous system, leading to irreversible paralysis, particularly in children. 2. Eliminates Risk of Outbreaks Even in countries where polio has been eradicated, it can return if vaccination rates drop. Polio remains endemic in a few regions, and unvaccinated individuals are at risk when traveling or coming into contact with infected persons. 3. Global Eradication Goal The world is on the brink of eradicating polio, but vaccination efforts must continue to ensure the virus doesn't re-emerge. The oral polio vaccine (OPV) and inactivate...

2024–25 Croatian Presidential Election

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ If you find yourself in a second round of presidential elections where you dislike both candidates, here are some strategies to consider: 1. Vote for the Lesser Evil Assess the policies, track records, and potential impacts of both candidates. Vote for the one who aligns more closely with your priorities or whose policies you believe will cause less harm. 2. Vote Strategically Consider the broader implications, such as how the election outcome might influence other areas (e.g., judiciary, foreign policy, or climate action). Support the candidate whose victory might lead to less negative long-term consequences. 3. Abstain or Cast a Blank Vote Abstain if you feel strongly that neither candidate represents your values. Cast a blank or invalid vote as a form of protest to signal dissatisfaction with the choices. 4.

ᴵⁿ ᵗᶦᵐᵉˢ ᵒᶠ ᶜˡᶦᵐᵃᵗᵉ ᵉᵐᵉʳᵍᵉⁿᶜʸ https://climateclock.world/ How come a person can buy/sell marijuana legally? The legality of buying and selling marijuana varies significantly by jurisdiction, influenced by both state or local laws and, in some cases, federal legislation. Here's a breakdown of how this works in different contexts: In the United States: State Laws : Marijuana for recreational use has been legalized in several states, with 24 states plus the District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands having laws that allow for recreational marijuana use as of 2025.
