Here are some ways lobbying can be both good and bad:
Good:
- Lobbying allows interest groups to advocate for their policy positions and represent the views of their members to legislators. This helps ensure a diversity of voices are heard in the policymaking process.
- Lobbying provides legislators with expertise and information on issues. Interest groups can educate lawmakers about complex policy topics through research, data, and stakeholder perspectives. This can help legislators make more informed decisions.
Bad:
- Lobbying is dominated by large corporate interests and trade groups that have significant financial resources. This can drown out the voices of less well-funded public interest groups.
- The large sums of money spent on lobbying, including donations, fundraising

Overall, the movement has made significant progress in disability rights and inclusion but still has more work to do.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Hitachi has announced a new way of locking up ones and zeros in quartz glass for hundreds of
millions of years. The data can be etched with a laser in three layers on the crystals at a density
slightly higher than a CD, then read out with an optical microscope. The technology could come
to market in three years, according to the research . Hitachi said the media withstood two hours
of 3500 degree Fahrenheit temperatures in testing without data loss.

"Today was not only the first presidential debate, it was also President Obama's 20th wedding

The fungus then kills the ant, and fruiting bodies erupt from the ant's head and spread more
spores. Because of this, scientists thought that the forest floor must be festooned with spores
of these fungi, making it very dangerous for the ants. Not so, Hughes discovered. Combining
new data from Brazilian zombie-ant graveyards with from previous studies of Thai graveyards,
the scientists realized that an as yet unnamed fungus keeps the zombie-ant fungus in check.
"The vast majority [of zombie-ant spores] have been taken out of the game" by the other
fungus, Hughes said.
To hear David Hughes tell it, rain forest
floors are littered with corpses of fungus-
infected "zombie ants." This made the
entomologist wonder: How do the lucky
ants escape zombification? The answer,
his team found, is that the ants have an
unwitting ally: a fungus that "castrates"
the zombie-ant fungus. Ant zombification
begins when a fungus shoots spores onto
an insect. The parasitic fungus gradually
takes over the ant's brain and directs the
insect to a cool, moist location.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is set to hit theaters on
December 14th. Some audience members at advance
screenings are reporting nausea, migraine headaches, and
general queasiness after watching it.
The film was shot at 48 frames per second, twice the normal
rate, to achieve an unprecedented feeling of reality. But that
can backfire.
This faster camera speed "requires the eye to sweep up and
down faster than usual in close-ups to absorb unparalleled
detail on a big screen," causing a significant amount of
cognitive and eye strain.
This technique "works for the big snowy mountains, but in
close-ups the picture strobes," said one moviegoer. "I left
loving the movie but feeling sick." Another audience member
was more blunt: "My eyes cannot take everything in, it's
dizzying," he said. "Now I have a migraine."

If you're uncertain of the science here, it's really straightforward. Bananas, like
many fruits, release ethylene gas naturally, which controls enzymatic browning and
ripening of not just itself, but other fruits nearby.
If you want your bananas to last as long as possible, the real key is to
separate them and then wrap each individual stem with plastic wrap.
Much of that off-gassing
takes place at the stem—or
the crown—of the banana.
By wrapping the crown of a
bunch, you slow down the
ripening process a bit.
