Market Impact

Shares of fertilizer companies including Rashtriya Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd, Chambal Fertilsers & Chemicals Ltd, National Fertilizers Ltd and Madras Fertilizers Ltd jumped between 5% and 9% on the news.

A new exhibition at the Cité des Sciences et de L’Industrie museum in Paris explores all facets of taste, through a scientific approach to food.

‘Banquet’ is developed by physical chemist Raphaël Haumont and Michelin-starred chef Thierry Marx.

Curator of the exhibition, Vincent Blech, says that they wanted it to be “a festive marriage between science and gastronomy, and ultimately an exhibition that would delight the taste buds as much as the neurons.”

Interactive games and culinary tips

Organised into three parts (the kitchen, the appetiser and the banquet table), this interactive exhibition hopes to surprise, fascinate and immerse its visitors.

Along the way, visitors can expect to learn culinary tips and tricks from cooking experts. Throughout there are interactive games, quizzes and quirky flavours and aromas to experience.

The exhibition is open at the Cité des Sciences et de L’Industrie until 7th August 2022.

Check out the video above to see a glimpse of the exhibition for yourself.

Transport for Wales (TfW) is working in partnership with TrawsCymru to enable customers to travel between South Wales and Aberystwyth with a single ticket, saving both money and time.

The partnership has launched integrated ticketing on TfW rail journeys from South Wales and Aberystwyth, and TrawsCymru’s T1 bus service that connects Carmarthen with Aberystwyth via Aberaeron and Lampeter, with additional stops for non-integrated ticket bus only customers between Carmarthen and Aberystwyth.

Instead of customers needing to access different websites and apps to purchase tickets for travel across the different transport modes, they will now be able to buy a single ticket that will cover both the TfW and TrawsCymru T1 elements of their journey from the TfW website, app and selected station ticket offices.

Head of Commercial Strategy for TfW, Chris Williams, said: “We know that customers want to travel to their destinations as easily, as quickly and as cheaply as possible, with minimum fuss.  Working with TrawsCymru we are able to deliver this for customers who want to travel in either direction between south Wales and Aberystwyth. 

“These joined up services will not only benefit customers wanting to save time and money on their journeys, but it will also benefit local communities and businesses.  It also contributes to our commitments around climate change by promoting better and improved public transport.”

Gethin George from TrawsCymru, added: “This is the first integrated ticketing pilot between bus and rail here in Wales and a great opportunity to deliver time and cost savings to passengers travelling along this route. It will be great to see who uses it and use the data to help us plan further pilots in the future.

“We have plans to develop new infrastructure and introduce new zero emission vehicles on this route too which will encourage people to use public transport and support the climate change agenda.”  

Travelling from South Wales to Aberystwyth, customers will start their journey on TfW services to Carmarthen, transfer to the TrawsCymru T1 bus service at Carmarthen and continue their journey on to Aberystwyth via bus.

Travelling from Aberystwyth to destinations in South Wales, customers will start their journey on the TrawsCymru T1 bus services to Carmarthen, transfer to their chosen TfW service at Carmarthen and continue on to their destination.  

Customers will also now be able to start or end their journey at T1 bus stops in Aberaeron and Lampeter.

Examples of the financial saving (subject to change):

• Swansea to Aberystwyth – £59.20
• Aberystwyth to Bridgend – £52.30
• Aberystwyth to Cardiff – £38.40
• Aberystwyth to Newport – £32.80

Examples of the time saving (subject to change):

• Gowerton to Aberystwyth – 2hrs 37mins
• Swansea to Aberystwyth – 1hr 42mins
• Neath to Aberystwyth – 1hr 9mins
• Bridgend to Aberystwyth – 23mins

Customers can purchase integrated tickets or tickets for rail only travel on the TfW website, TfW app, or at any railway station.

Customers are reminded that, unless exempt, wearing a face covering remain the law in Wales when travelling on public transport, which includes travel on both train and bus.

In the aftermath of Storm Irwen, one of the world’s rarest sea turtles was launched on a beach in Wales. It is about 5,000 miles away from its normal habitat.

A local man, Ashley James, was discovered while walking along Clyde’s Tarakure Beach with his dog, Teddy.

After calling his wife Samantha, they and their nine-year-old son, Getin, reported the discovery to the British Divers Marine Life Rescue (BDMLR) charity.

According to the Grounding Coordinator of Marine Environmental Monitoring (MEM), marine animals (originally thought to be leatherback turtles) have been found to be “very rare” Kemp’s ridiculous turtles that normally live in the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Mrs. James told Sky News:

“They stick out the sides of his eyes, he retracts his face and pushes it all in, they couldn’t believe it. They lifted him, he flipped the flipper, I stretched my neck. “

Turtle species are classified as “endangered”. They were once endangered and hunted for their flesh and eggs.

According to Westfield, a hot-water sea turtle named Tally was off course due to strong tides before being shocked by the cold waters.

He told Sky News: Just at the mercy of the tide.

“So this little companion might have been floating for a week or so, and unfortunately Storm Awen came and pushed it to our shore.”

Since recording began in 1748, there are 72 Kemp’s turtles recorded in the British Isles and the Republic of Ireland’TURTLE’database in the United Kingdom, most of which have been found dead. increase.

The “really poor” creatures took care of the Anglesey Sea Zoo. There, staff will monitor for 24 hours and gradually raise the temperature.

It is hoped that there will be sufficient rehabilitation for the tally to be returned to the wild.

Anglesey Zoo said the first 48 hours are important for cold and stuck turtles.

“As a Kemp’s ridley, Tally is endangered and is the rarest turtle species in the world, making him / her especially valuable,” said the zoo.

“Tally is not open to the public, but is safely taken away from the public eye at this important stage of recovery.”

“Everything was really emotional,” said Mrs. James.

“Getin was absolutely fascinated by it and asked the rescuer a lot of questions about how the turtle behaves and whether it’s okay.

“I’m glad to know that we may have helped.

“He looked like rocks and stones, so it was very difficult for the team to find. So I was very lucky. It seems that my husband was going to be there that day.”

Question: I live in France and applied for my carte vitale some months ago, but it has not arrived yet. Does this mean that I can’t get a booster shot for my Covid vaccine?

Like the main vaccination programme, booster shots in France are reserved for those who live here. However you do not have to be a French citizen to receive one. Thanks to a Decree published earlier in the year, you can access it even if you are not yet registered in the health system and do not have the carte vitale.

However, there are some issues specific to the booster shot programme. 

If you had your first doses in France

If you had your first and second vaccine doses in France then things should be easier to get the booster.

Take with you to your appointment the certificates from your first two vaccine doses – take the full paper certificates rather than just the TousAntiCovid app as the paper certificates have extra details such as the batch number of your first vaccines.  Also bring proof of ID such as a passport and proof that you are resident in France (carte de séjour or visa if you have one, if not proof of address such as utility bills).

If you had your first doses outside France

If you had your previous doses in another country but moved to France in the interim, then things could be a little more complicated. As a resident of France you are still entitled to the booster, but it’s likely that you will need to explain your situation to vaccine centre staff. If your French is still at the beginner stage it might be a good idea to take along a friend who speaks French who can explain your situation.

Take with you proof of residency in France (carte de séjour or visa if you have one, if not proof of address such as utility bills) plus proof of ID such as a passport.

You will also need vaccine certificates from your home country – if this is the UK you will need to download and print out the full certificate from the NHS website, not merely the generated QR code.

If you were vaccinated in the EU, Schengen zone or UK then your codes will be recognised by the French system. If you were vaccinated outside the EU then you may need to first convert your vaccination certificates to French ones – find details on how to do that here.

Certificates

You also need to ensure that you are given the correct certificate so that you can continue to use the French health pass.

Some centres give out full certificates, while some give only a Synthèse des Données and others give both.

The Synthèse des Données (example above) is essentially just telling you that details of your vaccination have been sent to Assurance Maladie. For people with a carte vitale this is no problem – they can then log into their Ameli account and download the full certificate.

If you do not yet have a carte vitale, however, you will need to ask for the full certificate at your appointment.

If you have already got the booster and received only the Synthèse, you can go back to the vaccine centre and ask for this to be exchanged for a full certificate, explaining that you are unable to create an Ameli account since you do not yet have a carte vitale.

Once you have the full certificate, scan the QR code on the certificate into the TousAntiCovid app in order to keep your health pass activated.

If you prefer to use a paper certificate, you will need to begin showing the new certificate – showing your dose as “3 of 3” – in health pass venues.

Let’s be brutally honest: you are surely acquainted with one or more individuals that you are not particularly fond of. It may be that Rita, your neighbour, is too loud and nosey for your liking. It could be that Uncle George is overly fussy and pernickety. Or, maybe, the chatty guy at the bus stop simply does not give you good vibes.

The chances are that there is someone at your workplace who you struggle to connect and communicate with. When collaborating and rowing in unison towards the same goal, any form of discord can slow down the team’s progress on a task. Moreover, at the end of a meeting, you may feel frustrated with a colleague who has not cooperated in the way you would have liked them to.

Ultimately, talking and working with ‘idiots’ is challenging. By ‘idiots’, we do not mean a stupid or foolish person. In the eyes of Thomas Erikson, a Swedish author and lecturer, an ‘idiot’ is just an individual who has a different behaviour profile and, therefore, style of communication. For you to better understand their complex personality, it is also crucial to become more familiar with your own traits.

This article will outline how learning more about yourself can both improve your abilities as a leader and truly boost your team development. Taking inspiration from Erikson’s bestseller “Surrounded by Idiots”, we will discover how you can better connect with your staff and empower your employees.

Get to know your workers

Humans are not monothematic robots. Instead, each person has their own unique, intricate character.

In the office, workers approach and deal with tasks in their own way. Some will follow every single rule to the letter, glued to their laptop from 9 to 5. Others will instead take it a bit easier, alternating work with the odd playful chat, even on the busiest of days. As a boss, depending on your own personality, you will prefer one or the other type of employee. Are you an authoritative, rigorous leader? Or are you more people-orientated, favouring your staff’s wellbeing over the timely completion of tasks?

There is no right or wrong answer. We all have our own way of going about our business. But shaping the way you interact with your employees can do wonders for the confidence and self-belief of your staff.

Erikson categorises human behaviour into four different colours – red, yellow, green, and blue. In short, each colour encompasses a range of components that, ultimately, form an individual’s behaviour. By understanding what each colour stands for and how it carves employees’ personality, you can learn to dialogue and manage your workers in a way that truly valorises their qualities. Here is a quick summary:

• Red – A person with significant red traits tends to be ambitious, direct, determined, goal-oriented, opinionated, controlling, and rather impatient. When addressing a Red, you need to be frank, honest, and argumentative – they don’t like when someone speaks evasively or skirts around a point. To motivate them, give them a demanding task as opposed to a tedious and mundane one. If involved in a project, they will thrive in a position of command – so ensure to make allowances for that!
• Yellow – Yellows love company and being around people. Therefore, they strive to always cooperate and get people involved in assignments. They also tend to be communicative, persuasive, outgoing, adaptable, and with their head in the clouds. Be open and friendly with yellows – laugh at their jokes and throw one in yourself. Independent work is not their forte, as they can be a tad disorganised and do not like isolation.
• Green – A green person is usually calm, supportive, considerate, kind, prudent, and somewhat hesitant. They are not great fans of sudden changes and prefer to listen than talk. Indeed, they don’t necessarily want to be the centre of attention and feel more comfortable in one-to-one sessions than group meetings. Ensure to praise them for their good work from time to time – if you criticise them, make it clear that it is nothing personal, as they tend to have sensitive egos.
• Blue – Finally, people with significant blue traits are often very well-organised, analytical, logical, and quite reserved. They tend to follow rules and are not too bothered about bonding with other colleagues. When assigning them a task, it is important that you explain everything meticulously – they like to be aware of every single detail. Since blues are generally perfectionists, make sure to give them enough time to complete their work – tight deadlines do not suit them well.

Discover your own traits

With an identikit of your workers at hand, it is time to take a look at how you can both learn more about your own persona and develop your skills as a leader. Here are a few tips:

• Take a personality test – Just like your employees, and every other human on the planet, you have your own personal traits too. Why not uncover your true character by completing a personality test? There are plenty of options available online. Powerful, sophisticated tests may not be free, but will certainly give you a substantial and useful overview of your inner self.
• Work on your weaknesses – As you read your personality report, you may catch sight of specific traits that you can identify as weaknesses. This is not a bad thing, rather, weaknesses offer a great opportunity to build on your character and strengthen your persona.   
• Improve communication – Are you a tad impulsive and overly direct? If you are giving feedback to your sensitive Green employee, adapt your language to suit them – try to be more delicate and considerate. Are you a bit unstructured in your communication? Making an effort to be more focused and precise will benefit your Blue colleague. Ultimately, these expedients will help you empower your staff, enhancing both their productivity and the efficiency of your team as a whole.
• Encourage and focus on staff – Once you have identified your strong traits, ensure to put them at the disposal of your workers. Are you a caring and outgoing person by nature? Then don’t play the role of the big, scary boss! By making your employees feel at ease and focusing on their wellbeing, you will create a thriving and productive environment that no-one will ever want to leave. Not to mention that nurturing your strong facets will advance your personal development exponentially.

Leading a team of people, each with their own unique traits and character, is no easy task. By identifying your strongest assets and understanding your staff’s personalities, however, you can truly boost the performance of your colleagues.

So, what do you think? Will you get to know your employees better in the future?
