  13. Rate cut helps the BoT, not the economy
    "The #government & the public had cast the #BoT as the villain for obstructing the #Thai #economy's recovery.. BoT did cut the rate by 0.25% last Oct.. Not only did the rate cut occur in Q4, the THB145 billion cash handout was made in the same qtr. Consumption shld have gone through the roof, but the opposite happened.. I am worried abt one #conglomerate which has borrowed heavily for 2 years & now faces a huge #financing challenge"

  21. On a stroll near #MaslinsBeach yesterday we named this stretch Rocky Road Beach 😋 The dark rock is an iron-rich
    #ironstone
    Also nearby are deposits of brightly-coloured
    #ochre which was once traded from here right up to the Northern Territory

  23. A German conglomerate, Bertelsmann, acquired Random House in 1998, and, under Bertelsmann, Random House merged with Penguin, one of the other big six #publishers, in 2013. Through these acquisitions and mergers, historically independent houses have become Penguin Random House properties, among them Ballantine, Bantam, Berkley, Crown, Dell, Dial, DK, Doubleday, Dutton, Knopf, New American Library, Putnam, Viking-and Pantheon. The books available to us today are products of the #conglomerate era.

  25. 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.

  27. 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.

  31. "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"

  32. 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).

  34. Rock on the beach at Barnum Point, Camano Island, WA. Conglomerate with subrounded cherty clasts in a dark matrix. Any sedimentary petrologists? Likely weathered out of till that caps the bluffs or a dropstone from floating ice on marine water incursion during the Everson interstade. Source rock provenance not known. Ref. Geologic map of the Juniper Beach 7.5-minute quadrangle, WDGER Geologic Map GM70. #geology #sedimentary #conglomerate #iceage #glaciation #PNW #washingtonstate #CamanoIsland
