The video is in French so mono-linguists must trust my interpretation. In this video,
the late Paul Caseaux looks at major issues involved with expected increases in Transportation. As usual his high quality mind extracts the essentials in the relative short term (next 20y).
He differentiates Freight from Travel, Local (France no, increase) from International (8% increase). He considers a 2x increase in Freight over the next 20 a good guess. Freight therefore is an international affaire and involves the f

Materials and phys-chem processes are all around us. Society appreciates their uses. Materials Sci. studies the structure (physics) and chemistry of materials. It is based on the fundamental principle of physics and chemistry. It applies these principle to materials and their uses. I share these views and motivation voiced by Penn State Uni's staff. Indeed it is the reason I became a scientist, a metallurgist a materials and process scientist at a place who's motto is "A Place of Useful Learning".

Excellent little video on a room temperature metallic chemical element known to all high school pupils. In my time, it was only manipulated under the fume cupboards which equiped all our science labs in Scotland. Great for illustrating many scientific principles especially surface, interfacial tension etc.

Did "misled" philanthropy lead to the current "down-turn of down-turns?
I came across the following description - a Maslow Pyramid when I lectured on Cross-Cultural Management and Total Quality Management
The Importance of Values:
1. Values the core of the system.
2. Beliefs the first skin or shell.
3. Appearance.
I think you will agree, Charles, that appearance has taken an overly importance in "developped" society.
