  6. 2/2
    "The map, compiled by #UNODC, clearly identifies multiple #scamhubs along the Thai-Cambodian #border.. #Cambodia now appears as the leading #hotspot for #cyberfraud #operations. Among the most prominent locations marked on the map is #Sihanoukville.. #Huione Group is a major #Cambodian financial #conglomerate with documented links to the #Hun #family"

  7. Applebaum: The relationship between modern #autocracies – they are not an alliance...What they are more like is a huge international #conglomerate within which there are separate companies that cooperate when it suits them, but otherwise do their own thing…

  8. #Sustainability ratings just a gimmick?
    "scepticism resurfaced recently when a prominent #Thai #conglomerate was named one of e world's most ethical companies in 2024, despite public #criticism abt their operations .. growing concerns abt data accuracy & data sources used for assessment of ratings & awards.. #ESG #ratings or awards shldn't be accepted unquestioningly. It is impt to look closely at how e assessments r made & how #trustworthy assessing institutions r"

  9. A bizarre #sedimentary feature

    Some layers in the #Neoproterozoic #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury #Conglomerate have been rolled up like a pie crust, into a tube. If this were a #tillite, as it once was thought to be, then it could have been caused by the drag of a #Gaskiers #glacier over the till. These rocks are mostly interpreted as deposited by submarine debris flows these days, in which case they could’ve been deformed during a slump and flow. Site of a field trip for #UMassBoston.

  10. A small #outcrop of the #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury #Conglomerate

    These #rocks are in the #BostonBay Group, which is currently dated to #Neoproterozoic. The Squantum Member was interpreted as a #tillite, possibly associated with the #Gaskiers #glaciation, although there a scant signs like scratched pebbles or faceted cobbles. It is currently commonly interpreted as a #debrite (debris flow). Details in captions.

    [I went to a ‘casual’ seminar by the chief engineer at #Overture a few months ago; I was rightly wary of motives, but what he described in my opinion has challenged me – in a good way – to keep an open mind]
    “Who is Overture for? Overture is for developers who build map services or use geospatial data…”

  12. "In the age of US-led development, Sarit Thanarat launched the 1st Economic & Social Development Plan in 1961, but the main beneficiaries were business groups .. According to Greenpeace #Thailand has since shifted fr traditional to industrial #agriculture incl'g maize. A turning point came in 2004 when the Ayeyawaddy-Chao Phraya-Mekong Economic Cooperation Strategy paved the way for a certain #conglomerate to implement #contractfarming in neighbouring countries"

  13. The #glacier went that-a-way

    The #striations on this face of the #Ediacaran (ca. 560 Ma) #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury #Conglomerate were probably left by the #Pleistocene #Laurentide ice sheet, which retreated ca. 12 ka. The striations have the right orientation, from northwest to southeast.

    The Squantum Member was once interpreted as a (#glacial) #tillite. The most common contemporary model is a peri-#Gondwana #debrite (#turbidite).
