Vago what are some of Global Trends we saw . The stabilization of european picture. Year after the 2008 crisis, reducing spending about 2 a year. Is the end ofture the commodities cycle. This affects all away from the middle east and latin america. Tc decelerations middle east and about 10 a year. In themes down to 1 last year. The third major area is the study increases we seeing in asia and russia. Doubledigit until 2016. Vago last year you said that russia was going to be an unsustainable spending spree. Russia has had to cut back on social services, but has stayed on track on defense spending. How has that changed in the last year . Picture of the trajectory it was going great last year the russian economy click declined at 3 , while defense spending was evident doubledigit rate. That is not a single picture, and in 2016 average spending of 10 a year increase. They are basically the. I think from now on it will be a question of trying to maintain that level of spending rather than
Were what was different about the protein that had the mammoth version versus the protein team with the elephant he found the mammoth was better at caring oxygen to the body at low temperatures. This is a pretty good target for something to change if we want to take a tropical adapted elephant and turn it into arctic mammoth. Theres a team around the corner that has been working on this question compiled a list of genes that are different between elephants and mammoths. They have attempted to make 14 different swaps. To swap out 14 elephant jeans they have been successful in doing all of it. They have actually created a cell that is about 0. 001 mammoth. Thats pretty cool. Its a far cry from having a living, breathing, and elephant hybrid but it is a step in the right direction. We think hard about plan c, we see see that we have a complete genome sequence. We have the technology that would need to use to edit, swap out these jeans for things that we want to replace them with, what we
Climate change, they are a top predator that is very precisely adapted to their particular habitat. Youre youre right, when that habitat disappears, they dont have any diversity which would allow them to adapt to different habitats that are around. The bears have an interesting strategy dealing with this. We discovered recently. Not only that its happening right now for Climate Change it every time the Climate Changes rapidly in the past, the same things happen. They breed with brown bears. They produce offspring that go live as brown bears. So the jeans and polar bears but polar bears as this discreet thing. This white bear that is precisely adapted to the arctic, it would disappear is engineering traits that would allow them to survive in other environments is not the case because theyll read with brazen live in that of environment but we still not have polar bears. But absolutely. The idea for other species might be you have some that are devoid of diversity in some way, can we incr
[ applause ] since the days of the Revolution Congress has awarded gold medals to express the peoples appreciation for duh sting wished. The force was activated in 1842 as an elite unit of 1,800 american and canadian commandoes. Just how elite . For every man they lost, they killed 25. For every man they cap which tu they took 285. The enemy dubbed them the devils and so effective today that our special forces refer to them as pioneers. Let me thank you for being here. Of course, in addition to many family members, we are truly humbled to have with us some 42 veterans of the force. Please join me now in welcoming these great men to our hall. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the presentation of the colors by the United States army color guard, the singing of the canadian and United States National Anthems and the retiring of the colors. Color halt. Present arms. Oh, say can you see by the dawns early light what so proudly we hailed at the twilights last gleaming whose broad stripe
Do you think that those means can be yoked to what would be the more natural in the system, the Democratic Party or do you think thats not sufficient the existing structure is insufficient to address what you see as sort of the deep structural racist inequalities . I think the twoparty system isnt working for us, and it hasnt worked for us for generations. Lets be very, very honest about th that. I think what were seeing is a crisis of our democracy and the reality is that these types of actions that were seeing, the disruptions, the really courageous acts of nonviolent civil disobedience just taking this country by storm really is an effort to call attention to the very real crisis thats happening in our communities. Our communities are reeling from poverty, from unemployment, from discrimination of all sorts and different interactions that theyre having from Law Enforcement to our Education System and so on. And so these actions are actually in order to make very visible whats taking
