A blind woman sits in a chair holding a video camera focused on a scientist sitting in front of her. She has a device in her mouth, touching her tongue, and there are wires running from that device to the video camera. The woman has been blind since birth and doesn't really know what a rubber ball looks like, but the scientist is holding one. And when he suddenly rolls it in her direction, she puts out a hand to stop it. The blind woman saw the ball. Well, not exactly through her tongue, but the device in her mouth sent visual input through her tongue in much the same way that seeing individuals receive visual input through the eyes. In both cases, the initial sensory input mechanism -- the tongue or the eyes -- sends the visual data to the brain, where that data is processed and interpreted to form images. And many of Ukraine’s growing regions for wheat. Corn are near the Russian border. The rising price of gas and fertilizer, as well as droughts and adverse weather in some regions, like the Dakotas, had already helped to push up the global price of wheat and other commodities. Ukraine is also a significant producer of barley and vegetable oil, which goes into many packaged foods. “In case of a conflict, production might be interrupted, and shipping may be affected as well,” Bogmans said. If other countries impose sanctions on Russian food items, that could further limit global supplies and inflate prices, he said. But because food costs make up a small portion of inflation, that may not matter as much to overall price data, Detmeister at UBS said. It is also hard to guess exactly how import prices would shape up because of the potential for currency movements. If a conflict drives global uncertainty and causes investors to pour money into dollars, pushing up the value of the currency, it could make US imports cheaper.|After Hurricane Matthew in 2016, Waterkeeper Alliance and Sound Rivers discovered a layer of coal ash more than an inch thick on the Neuse River from the Duke Energy H.F. Shortly after Hurricane Matthew pounded North Carolina in October 2016, swelling the Neuse River to a level never seen before, Matthew Starr ventured out on the river to see some of the damage himself. It was almost otherworldly. Starr, the Upper Neuse Riverkeeper for Sound Rivers, a nonprofit that monitors and protects the Neuse and Tar-Pamlico River basins. The river ran gray for weeks after that," Williams says now. "People still ask me, 'Is it safe to go wading in the river? I don't know. I can't say the same thing about it that I used to be able to. Coal ash is just what you'd figure it to be: what's left over from burning coal. Though coal consumption has dropped dramatically in recent years - it peaked in 2007, and the electric power sector used less coal in 2017 than in any year since 1983, according to the U.S.
