1. Thai tiger numbers swell as prey populations stabilize in western forests

“The tiger population density in a series of protected areas in western Thailand has more than doubled over the past two decades, according to new survey data. […] The most recent year of surveys, which concluded in November 2023, photographed 94 individual tigers, up from 75 individuals in the previous year, and from fewer than 40 in 2007. […] A total of 291 individual tigers older than 1 year were recorded, as well as 67 cubs younger than 1 year.”

2. Work starts to rewild former cattle farm

“Ecologists have started work to turn a former livestock farm into a nature reserve [… which] will become a "mosaic of habitats" for insects, birds and mammals. [… R]ewilding farmland could benefit food security locally by encouraging pollinators, improving soil health and soaking up flood water. [… “N]ature restoration doesn't preclude food production. We want to address [food security] by using nature-based solutions."”

3. Harnessing ‘invisible forests in plain view��� to reforest the world

“[… T]he degraded land contained numerous such stumps with intact root systems capable of regenerating themselves, plus millions of tree seeds hidden in the soil, which farmers could simply encourage to grow and reforest the landscape[….] Today, the technique of letting trees resprout and protecting their growth from livestock and wildlife [… has] massive potential to help tackle biodiversity loss and food insecurity through resilient agroforestry systems. [… The UN’s] reported solution includes investing in land restoration, “nature-positive” food production, and rewilding, which could return between $7 and $30 for every dollar spent.”

4. California bars school districts from outing LGBTQ+ kids to their parents

“Gov. Gavin Newsom signed the SAFETY Act today – a bill that prohibits the forced outing of transgender and gay students, making California the first state to explicitly prohibit school districts from doing so. […] Matt Adams, a head of department at a West London state school, told PinkNews at the time: “Teachers and schools do not have all the information about every child’s home environment and instead of supporting a pupil to be themselves in school, we could be putting them at risk of harm.””

5. 85% of new electricity built in 2023 came from renewables

“Electricity supplied by renewables, like hydropower, solar, and wind, has increased gradually over the past few decades — but rapidly in recent years. [… C]lean energy now makes up around 43 percent of global electricity capacity. In terms of generation — the actual power produced by energy sources — renewables were responsible for 30 percent of electricity production last year. […] Along with the rise of renewable sources has come a slowdown in construction of non-renewable power plants as well as a move to decommission more fossil fuel facilities.”

6. Deadly cobra bites to "drastically reduce" as scientists discover new antivenom

“After successful human trials, the snake venom antidote could be rolled out relatively quickly to become a "cheap, safe and effective drug for treating cobra bites" and saving lives around the globe, say scientists. Scientists have found that a commonly used blood thinner known as heparin can be repurposed as an inexpensive antidote for cobra venom. […] Using CRISPR gene-editing technology […] they successfully repurposed heparin, proving that the common blood thinner can stop the necrosis caused by cobra bites.”

7. FruitFlow: a new citizen science initiative unlocks orchard secrets

“"FruitWatch" has significantly refined phenological models by integrating extensive citizen-sourced data, which spans a wider geographical area than traditional methods. These enhanced models offer growers precise, location-specific predictions, essential for optimizing agricultural planning and interventions. […] By improving the accuracy of phenological models, farmers can better align their operations with natural biological cycles, enhancing both yield and quality.”

8. July 4th Means Freedom for Humpback Whale Near Valdez, Alaska

“The NOAA Fisheries Alaska Marine Mammal Stranding Hotline received numerous reports late afternoon on July 3. A young humpback whale was entangled in the middle of the Port of Valdez[….] “The success of this mission was due to the support of the community, as they were the foundation of the effort,” said Moran. [… Members of the community] were able to fill the critical role of acting as first responders to a marine mammal emergency. “Calling in these reports is extremely valuable as it allows us to respond when safe and appropriate, and also helps us gain information on various threats affecting the animals,” said Lyman.”

9. Elephants Receive First of Its Kind Vaccine

“Elephant endotheliotropic herpesvirus is the leading cause of death for Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) born in facilities in North America and also causes calf deaths in the wild in Asia. A 40-year-old female received the new mRNA vaccine, which is expected to help the animal boost immunity[….]”

10. Conservation partners and Indigenous communities working together to restore forests in Guatemala

“The K’iche have successfully managed their natural resources for centuries using their traditional governing body and ancestral knowledge. As a result, Totonicapán is home to Guatemala’s largest remaining stand of conifer forest. […] EcoLogic has spearheaded a large-scale forest restoration project at Totonicapán, where 13 greenhouses now hold about 16,000 plants apiece, including native cypresses, pines, firs, and alders. […] The process begins each November when community members gather seeds. These seeds then go into planters that include upcycled coconut fibers and mycorrhizal fungi, which help kickstart fertilization. When the plantings reach about 12 inches, they’re ready for distribution.”

IonQ Roadmap: Described The Future Of Quantum Computing

IonQ roadmap

IonQ Accelerates its Roadmap and Acquires Key Technologies for the Quantum Future.

Leading quantum computing startup IonQ announced an accelerated technology roadmap supported by strategic acquisitions to achieve  fault-tolerant quantum computing “full throttle” With these advancements, IonQ will lead quantum computing, networking, and scalable real-world applications, which are predicted to greatly increase the commercial quantum advantage and rewrite the timetable for viable quantum solutions.

This week, IonQ announced a final contract to buy Oxford Ionics, a “significant milestone” for quantum computing, and a groundbreaking quantum-accelerated drug development workflow with AstraZeneca, AWS, and NVIDIA. This alliance showed IonQ's quantum technology's “full-stack potential” spanning its roadmap and real-world applications, reaching a 20x speedup over previous benchmarks.

Strategic purchases boost speed and scale. Lightsynq and Oxford Ionics acquisitions by IonQ marked a “turning point” in its development. All acquisitions add powerful capabilities:

Asynchronous entanglement and network buffering are achievable using Lightsynq's quantum memory-based photonic interconnects. These interconnects make clustered quantum computing conceivable and “commercially ready by 2028” by increasing ion-ion entanglement by 50x compared to memory-free alternatives. This planned move is akin to NVIDIA's purchase of Mellanox, which enabled AI to move from standalone GPUs to networked data centres, but for quantum computing.

Oxford Ionics' proprietary 2D ion trap technology may give 300x more trap density than proposed 1D devices. This greatly increases the number of physical qubits that can be stored on a semiconductor and operated in parallel with high fidelity.

These integrated technologies should “accelerate the deployment of interconnected quantum systems” and usher in fault-tolerant and logical computing. The addition of pioneers like Dr. Chris Ballance and Dr. Mihir Bhaskar strengthens IonQ's scientific leadership.

Ion Capture Durability IonQ's architectural advantage relies on trapped ion technology. Since ions are similar and stable, they offer “unmatched gate fidelity and coherence” compared to other approaches. The modular architecture, which joins premium qubit traps via photonic interconnects, ensures high connection and support for several error correction methods. Reduced error correction costs, algorithmic flexibility, and better circuit compilation result from this combination.

IonQ Roadmap with ambition: 10K to 2M qubits

IonQ's ambitious qubit scaling roadmap leverages strategic acquisitions and technological advances:

2025: 100-qubit Tempo development platforms.

A chip having 10,000 qubits by 2027.

In 2028, two coupled chips will build a 20,000-qubit device with networking capabilities. The quantum equivalent of distributed supercomputing.

IonQ's quickly scalable design is expected to provide a system with over 2,000,000 physical qubits by 2030. These physical qubits should equal 40,000–80,000 logical qubits.

IonQ's solutions use the latest resource estimation and error-correcting codes. By 2030, logical qubits are expected to achieve “incredibly accurate logical error rates of less than 1E-12” (<1 part in a trillion) for optimal fault-tolerant applications in shallow memory architectures. Flexible design allows future error repair code improvements. IonQ claims this accelerated roadmap will produce the most rational qubits and the lowest commercial system production costs.

Several sectors are seeing measurable benefits from IonQ systems. The recent partnership with AstraZeneca, AWS, and NVIDIA recreated a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, a vital drug development process, in the “most complex chemical simulation run on IonQ hardware to date”. Time-to-solution was 20x faster in this collaboration than earlier demonstrations.

IonQ's work with Ansys has shown “tangible performance gains in real-world simulations” and opened new avenues for quantum-accelerated computational fluid dynamics outside the pharmaceutical business. AI hybrid models using quantum computers as classification heads in massive language models are being studied by IonQ. These models improve anomaly identification and sentiment categorisation in low-data contexts. These “proof points” show that IonQ's solutions are “active contributors to R&D pipelines in healthcare, aerospace, and AI” not merely theoretical.

Future Outlook: Limited Benefit to Wide-Spread Effect Currently, IonQ stands out for its “full stack” development, not its hardware size. To ensure clients can readily access quantum resources, the company's software, control systems, and cloud deployment infrastructure are developing alongside its hardware.

IonQ wants a “commercially available, interconnected system” by 2028. Rethinking drug discovery, next-generation AI architectures, and first-principle simulations of innovative catalysts would require many logical qubits by 2030, according to the business. These systems are expected to have 1E-12 logical error rates, making them suitable for “enterprise-grade operations,” such as national defence, secure communications, and exceedingly delicate materials research and energy modelling. IonQ can be customised to maintain optimal physical-to-logical qubit ratios and lower error rates due to its software-driven design.

The acquisition of Oxford Ionics and integration of Lightsynq marked a “pivotal moment for IonQ and the quantum industry at large”. IonQ claims to scale hardware and “scaling impact” via practical breakthroughs. Once a distant concept, the quantum future is now a “fast-approaching reality”. IonQ wants to help corporations, governments, and researchers “seize this moment” because they believe “quantum transformation” will be the next great thing, not “quantum speedup”.

I’m not sure how reliably I’ll be able to keep up with it, but I’ve been wanting to start posting weekly or monthly Good News compilations, with a focus on ecology but also some health and human rights type stuff. I’ll try to keep the sources recent (like from within the last week or month, whichever it happens to be), but sometimes original dates are hard to find. Also, all credit for images and written material can be found at the source linked; I don’t claim credit for anything but curating.

Anyway, here’s some good news from the first week of March!

1. Mexican Wolf Population Grows for Eighth Consecutive Year

““In total, 99 pups carefully selected for their genetic value have been placed in 40 wild dens since 2016, and some of these fosters have produced litters of their own. While recovery is in the future, examining the last decade of data certainly provides optimism that recovery will be achieved.””

2. “Remarkable achievement:” Victoria solar farm reaches full power ahead of schedule

“The 130MW Glenrowan solar farm in Victoria has knocked out another milestone, reaching full power and completing final grid connection testing just months after achieving first generation in late November.”

3. UTEP scientists capture first known photographs of tropical bird long thought lost

5. [Fish & Wildlife] Service Approves Conservation Agreement for Six Aquatic Species in the Trinity River Basin

“Besides conserving the six species in the CCAA, activities implemented in this agreement will also improve the water quality and natural flows of rivers for the benefit of rural and urban communities dependent on these water sources.”

6. Reforestation offset the effects of global warming in the southeastern United States

“In America’s southeast, except for most of Florida and Virginia, “temperatures have flatlined, or even cooled,” due to reforestation, even as most of the world has grown warmer, reports The Guardian.”

7. Places across the U.S. are testing no-strings cash as part of the social safety net

“Cash aid without conditions was considered a radical idea before the pandemic. But early results from a program in Stockton, Calif., showed promise.

Aurora Supercomputer Sets a New Record for AI Tragic Speed!

Intel Aurora Supercomputer

Together with Argonne National Laboratory and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE), Intel announced at ISC High Performance 2024 that the Aurora supercomputer has broken the exascale barrier at 1.012 exaflops and is now the fastest AI system in the world for AI for open science, achieving 10.6 AI exaflops. Additionally, Intel will discuss how open ecosystems are essential to the advancement of AI-accelerated high performance computing (HPC).

Why This Is Important:

From the beginning, Aurora was intended to be an AI-centric system that would enable scientists to use generative AI models to hasten scientific discoveries. Early AI-driven research at Argonne has advanced significantly. Among the many achievements are the mapping of the 80 billion neurons in the human brain, the improvement of high-energy particle physics by deep learning, and the acceleration of drug discovery and design using machine learning.

Analysis

The Aurora supercomputer has 166 racks, 10,624 compute blades, 21,248 Intel Xeon CPU Max Series processors, and 63,744 Intel Data Centre GPU Max Series units, making it one of the world’s largest GPU clusters. 84,992 HPE slingshot fabric endpoints make up Aurora’s largest open, Ethernet-based supercomputing connection on a single system.

The Aurora supercomputer crossed the exascale barrier at 1.012 exaflops using 9,234 nodes, or just 87% of the system, yet it came in second on the high-performance LINPACK (HPL) benchmark. Aurora supercomputer placed third on the HPCG benchmark at 5,612 TF/s with 39% of the machine. The goal of this benchmark is to evaluate more realistic situations that offer insights into memory access and communication patterns two crucial components of real-world HPC systems. It provides a full perspective of a system’s capabilities, complementing benchmarks such as LINPACK.

How AI is Optimized

The Intel Data Centre GPU Max Series is the brains behind the Aurora supercomputer. The core of the Max Series is the Intel X GPU architecture, which includes specialised hardware including matrix and vector computing blocks that are ideal for AI and HPC applications. Because of the unmatched computational performance provided by the Intel X architecture, the Aurora supercomputer won the high-performance LINPACK-mixed precision (HPL-MxP) benchmark, which best illustrates the significance of AI workloads in HPC.

The parallel processing power of the X architecture excels at handling the complex matrix-vector operations that are a necessary part of neural network AI computing. Deep learning models rely heavily on matrix operations, which these compute cores are essential for speeding up. In addition to the rich collection of performance libraries, optimised AI frameworks, and Intel’s suite of software tools, which includes the Intel oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler, the X architecture supports an open ecosystem for developers that is distinguished by adaptability and scalability across a range of devices and form factors.

Enhancing Accelerated Computing with Open Software and Capacity

He will stress the value of oneAPI, which provides a consistent programming model for a variety of architectures. OneAPI, which is based on open standards, gives developers the freedom to write code that works flawlessly across a variety of hardware platforms without requiring significant changes or vendor lock-in. In order to overcome proprietary lock-in, Arm, Google, Intel, Qualcomm, and others are working towards this objective through the Linux Foundation’s Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL), which is creating an open environment for all accelerators and unified heterogeneous compute on open standards. The UXL Foundation is expanding its coalition by adding new members.

As this is going on, Intel Tiber Developer Cloud is growing its compute capacity by adding new, cutting-edge hardware platforms and new service features that enable developers and businesses to assess the newest Intel architecture, innovate and optimise workloads and models of artificial intelligence rapidly, and then implement AI models at scale. Large-scale Intel Gaudi 2-based and Intel Data Centre GPU Max Series-based clusters, as well as previews of Intel Xeon 6 E-core and P-core systems for certain customers, are among the new hardware offerings. Intel Kubernetes Service for multiuser accounts and cloud-native AI training and inference workloads is one of the new features.

Next Up

Intel’s objective to enhance HPC and AI is demonstrated by the new supercomputers that are being implemented with Intel Xeon CPU Max Series and Intel Data Centre GPU Max Series technologies. The Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) CRESCO 8 system will help advance fusion energy; the Texas Advanced Computing Centre (TACC) is fully operational and will enable data analysis in biology to supersonic turbulence flows and atomistic simulations on a wide range of materials; and the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) will solve memory-bound problems that underpin the design of future fusion powerplants. These systems include the Euro-Mediterranean Centre on Climate Change (CMCC) Cassandra climate change modelling system.

The outcome of the mixed-precision AI benchmark will serve as the basis for Intel’s Falcon Shores next-generation GPU for AI and HPC. Falcon Shores will make use of Intel Gaudi’s greatest features along with the next-generation Intel X architecture. A single programming interface is made possible by this integration.

In comparison to the previous generation, early performance results on the Intel Xeon 6 with P-cores and Multiplexer Combined Ranks (MCR) memory at 8800 megatransfers per second (MT/s) deliver up to 2.3x performance improvement for real-world HPC applications, such as Nucleus for European Modelling of the Ocean (NEMO). This solidifies the chip’s position as the host CPU of choice for HPC solutions.

Should You Microdose to Treat Depression?

May 8, 2020 7 min read

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

The following article is written by Ben Angel. Author of the book, Unstoppable: A 90-Day Plan to Biohack Your Mind and Body for Success. Buy it now from Amazon | Barnes & Noble | iBooks | IndieBound. And be sure to order The Unstoppable Journal, the only journal of its kind based on neuroscience, psychology and biohacking to help you reach your goals.

If you asked 100 people about psychedelics, you’d most likely get 100 opinions based on their firsthand experience, strong condemnation or stories from their adventures at Woodstock in the ’60s. No matter what people might know or think they know about psychedelics, the 40-year moratorium that closed down related research in the ’70s is now coming to an end. Psychiatrists are beginning to realize that strategic, supervised use of these psychopharmacological drugs is helping people with mental disorders including obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, alcoholism, depression and cluster headaches. Still, are there enough scientific studies to warrant the use of these drugs in mainstream society?

I’ll admit that talk of psychedelic therapy to treat depression makes me nervous. In researching my book, Unstoppable, I looked at other key triggers that can mimic psychological disorders like depression and anxiety, such as inflammation, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal changes, side effects from medications, gut imbalances and food sensitivities. The reality is, depression is complex. What works for one may not work for another. Any successful treatment must first identify the root cause of one’s depression successfully, which can be a complex process if not done under the right medical care. A psychedelic treatment isn’t suddenly going to fix a nutritional deficiency, for example, but it may help target other symptoms and behaviors that correspond with depression. This is why it was critical to set my own biases aside and speak to an expert. 

Related: There Will Be 4 Identity Types in This Recovery. Which One Are You?

Image credit for photo of Dr. Sportelli: Jen Vitale Photography 

I was fortunate enough to interview Dr. Domenick J. Sportelli, who is board-certified by the American Board of Neurology and Psychiatry for General Psychiatry and fellowship-trained and Board Certified in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. He also specializes in human behavior and psychopharmacology. I wanted to get the most current information on the use of psychedelics in treatment for depression, anxiety and PTSD, so I first asked him first to clarify what psychedelics were.

“The term ‘psychedelic substance’ refers to an exogenous substance [derived outside the body] that, when taken into the body in various ways, physiologically, neurologically and psychologically manifest an internal personal experience of altered states of consciousness,” he explains. “This includes perceptual distortions, hallucinations, synesthesia [a mixing of the senses], altered sense of time and space, as well as potentially inducing what researchers call a ‘mystical experience’ — a sense of oneness, of noetic experience and an undefinable but profoundly spiritual quality.”

Is there enough evidence to support psychedelic therapy? 

Sportelli wants to make clear that the most researched psychedelics — LSD, psilocybin (mushrooms), peyote, MDMA, DMT and ketamine — have different mechanisms of action and even induce subtle, subjective experiential differences. Although each is grouped under the term “psychedelics,” they are quite disparate.

Dr. Sportelli is cautiously optimistic about the multitudes of large-scale, university-based testing and prior research compiled decades ago, but worries about the abiliity to circumvent bureaucracy and conduct safe, credible and substantial testing today. He does add that recent testing of psilocybin, LSD, ketamine and MDMA in particular has generated cause for optimism, and that they will likely have a place not only in continued, diverse research design and protocol, but eventually in therapeutic use. 

What types of depression can psychedelics treat?

If we were to look at the onset of most mental illnesses, the majority start to become evident between the ages of 11 and 24, according to the National Institute of Health. With only 42 percent of people getting treatment, most typically do not seek out assistance until a secondary mental illness occurs several years later.

When asked how broadly psychedelics might be able to help treat people with depression, Sportelli concedes that, “Unfortunately, research hasn’t determined the level of scientific data to specify the type of depression or mood disorder that psychedelic therapy will benefit.” But he does add that research and data are beginning to show statistically significant improvements in mood, reduced anxiety, change in positive personality traits over time, the possibility of reducing addictive behaviors, reduction in suicidal tendencies and increased personal insight. 

Do psychedelics treat the symptoms or the cause?

According to Dr. Sportelli, depression stems from a mix of genetic, biological, neurological, psychological and sociological factors. Recent research has demonstrated how the chemical breakdown of psilocybins closely resembles that of serotonin, and indicated the promising interplay of select hormone transmission. Dr. Sportelli stresses the critical role that these drugs might offer in mood disorders is at the forefront of the pharmaceutical quest for treatment.

“We have never seen substances like these that can potentially change the way that we look at our life and change perspective with lasting results,” he says, noting that they might be able to help “supercharge psychotherapy.” 

Is this ultimately a recommend reatment, and where does one turn for it?

“At this time, in the U.S., I would only recommend this treatment be a part of, and under the close supervision of, a university-based IRB [Institutional Review Board]-monitored clinical trial,” Sportelli emphasizes. Before any psychiatric treatment, Dr. Sportelli also recommends a full medical and neurological evaluation to rule out any of the multitudes of medical circumstances that can manifest as a primary mood disorder, and reiterates that significant and often profoundly adverse outcomes associated with such powerful, mind-altering chemicals need to be weighed further as well. That’s why, as part of any regulated trial, all the necessary medical workups would be completed before participation. 

Is the stigma around psychedelic therapy warranted? 

Sportelli acknowledges that there is a safety concern associated with psychedelics, and does not condone their recreational or illict use. But he does believe that regulated clinical trials, judicious and ethical research methodology and the progression for therapeutic intervention should not be overlook based on previous stigma and possible misclassification.

I’ve never been one to throw the baby out with the bathwater. After interviewing Dr. Sportelli, I hold hope for the future, but also a concern for those who may seek out this kind of treatment without an accurate medical diagnosis. My number-one hesitation remains — that is we simply do not have the studies to show which types of depression psychedelic therapy successfully treats, which may result in people attempting to use a hammer when in fact they need a nail. 

Either way, if you are to venture into this arena, find someone who specializes in it. The risk of going it alone could come at too a high price.

Glucofort [Scam Alert 2021] Exposed Real Customer Honest Overview

Glucofort Reviews 2021: Is Glucofort a Scam? Ingredients & Price:

Did you know that one in ten Americans is likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes? What was once considered a condition that only develops in adults older than 40 years has quickly become a common diagnosis for teens, young adults, and even children? For those wondering: “so what?” it is not easy to live with such a condition, as it has since been linked to increased thirst and hunger, exhaustion, and impaired vision, to name just a few.

There are prescription drugs for this, but there must be other ways to speed up desired results, right? According to our research, one additional measure (besides changing your diet and exercise regimen) is worth considering, natural supplements.

In general, such solutions have long existed in society and have been making waves lately.

Will historical usage prevail over scientific evidence? The purpose of this review is to introduce a natural supplement called Glucofort.

Glucofort Advanced Blood Sugar Support Formula is a nutritional supplement that supports healthy blood sugar levels and glucose metabolism.

It can help you keep your blood sugar levels within a healthy and normal range without the need for lifestyle changes.

Eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle can be challenging, and some people do not have the time to exercise due to their busy schedules.

How Does Glucofort Work?

Once you are 30 years old, the body will need support.

Glucofort provides the nutrients you need to keep your metabolism and digestive system functioning properly, no matter how old you are.

The nutrients also make it possible to increase insulin production in the body.

Insulin sensitivity is increased, while insulin resistance is significantly reduced to prevent the body from storing fats in your cells.

Glucofort can support a healthy immune system that can protect your body against diseases, viral infections, and other bacteria during weight loss.

Glucofort formula works efficiently and effectively, and you will start to notice changes after a few weeks of regular use.

Glucofort contains antioxidants that can eliminate the toxin that builds up in your blood vessels, which improves throughout your body.

Glucofort can prevent inflammation and protect you from cardiovascular disease or complications.

Glucofort aims to convert the foods and fats in your meal into combustible energy, which can then increase your energy levels.

Glucofort reduces stress and anxiety, so you live each day with a refreshing spirit that is always on the go.

Glucofort Review

Glucofort is a healthy and safe formula for monitoring, managing, and optimizing sugar levels.

It has been compiled after careful consideration and thorough studies of each ingredient.

It emphasizes that the solution is safe to take and poses no risk to scams.

The professional name behind the supplement, the natural and well-studied composition, and the manufacture in an FDA-approved setting, also confirms the authenticity of the solution.

What’s more, all rules laid down by the GMP are followed in the preparation of this solution.

The best part? Glucofort is completely natural - it is mainly made from powerful antioxidants.

It not only helps in managing glucose by enabling the body’s feedback loop but also improves blood circulation and helps you in various ways.

Use the formula daily, two capsules a day, to see positive results.

It will not be difficult because you only have to take capsules, not spend time buying rare herbs or mix them into a magical, life-saving smoothie.

All in all, Glucofort claims to be safe to take, of course, easy to use, and thoroughly researched, making it a great choice for your health and wellness.

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (retitled Dune II: Battle for Arrakis in Europe and Dune: The Battle for Arrakis for the Mega Drive/Genesis port respectively) is a Dune video game developed by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive in Jan 1, 1992. It is based upon David Lynch's 1984 movie Dune, an adaptation of Frank Herbert's science fiction novel of the same name. Emperor Frederick IV of House Corrino is desperate for the harvesting of the valuable drug melange (also known as 'the spice'), found on only the planet Arrakis, to pay off all of his debt incurred on internecine wars with family members. To achieve this, he now offers the sole governorship of Arrakis to the House (Atreides, Harkonnen, and Ordos) which delivers the most spice for him. War begins as deputations from all three Houses arrive on Arrakis. The player is a military commander from a House of his choice. In the first few missions the objectives are to establish successfully a base on an unoccupied territory of Arrakis, to harvest spice, and to defeat intruders. Later, when the three Houses divide Arrakis among them, the player has to assault and capture enemy territories. When the player dominates Arrakis on the world map, the two other enemy factions ally against their common enemy. The ultimate final showdown is the battle between the player's House against three enemy sides, among them Frederick's forces the Sardaukar (an unplayable elite force whose heavy infantry are particularly powerful). The final cutscene is different for each House, in consonance with their very disparate world views. The player takes the role of the commander of one of the three interplanetary houses, the Atreides, the Harkonnen or the Ordos, with the objective of wresting control of Arrakis from the other two houses. House Ordos is not featured in the Dune novels and is mentioned only in the non-canon Dune Encyclopedia. The basic strategy in the game is to harvest spice from the treacherous sand dunes using a harvester vehicle, convert the spice into credits via a refinery and to build military units with these acquired credits in order to fend off and destroy the enemy. The game map initially starts with a fog of war covering all area which is not covered by the player's units range of view. As the units explore the map, the darkness is removed. Unlike later games such as Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, the fog of war is lifted forever with initial exploration, it does not become dark once more when units leave the area. In addition to enemy incursions, there are other dangers; like the marauding gigantic sandworm, capable of swallowing vehicles and infantry whole but blocked by rocky terrain. The player can only build on rocky terrain, but must build concrete foundations before to avoid deterioration of the structures due to the harsh weather conditions although in general, structures will gradually decay over time regardless of the presence of those concrete slabs due to the aforementioned weather conditions. Spice fields are indicated by orange coloration on the sand, darker orange indicating high concentration. Some spice may be concealed as bumps on the terrain (a 'spice bloom') that become spice fields when they are shot at, or when a unit runs over them (the unit is destroyed in the ensuing 'spice blow'). The player is presented a map of the planet Arrakis before most missions, where he can choose the next territory to play in among two or three. This affects primarily the enemy house fought in the next mission, as all missions except the first two require the complete destruction of the enemy. Nine territories must be fought, irrespective of house, to reach the endgame.
