Oxford Energy Podcast – China’s consumption tax: Storm in a teapot – Is China’s economic momentum starting to lose steam?


In this podcast, David Ledesma talks to Michal Meidan about her latest contribution to the OIES Oil Monthly. They discuss the new Chinese consumption tax on blendstocks and the crackdown on the Shandong teapots, how this will impact crude and product flows in and out of China as well as the balance of power between the majors and the independents. In the Podcast, they also address the changing policy priorities in China, the macroeconomic outlook for the next 18 months and what it means for oil demand. Finally, David and Michal discuss recent reports of an SPR release in China.

OpenFoodFacts

I heard about it quite a long time ago but I didn't try to participate until yesterday and the least I can say is that the main developer has integrated a lot of cool features to compare products components and to integrate maps, pictures...

It's really easy to add a product in this free #database: just scan the bar-code with the smartphone app or enter it by hand and take a picture of the product, then check that the OCR has done a good job to extract the ingredient list.

Everything is you send will be #opensource (#cc-by-sa for the pictures and #odbl for the content).
The ingredient list is automatically parsed to extract known codes and product and add informations about them.

And when these pieces of date are used on a map this gives : http://cestfabriquepresdechezvous.info/ Location of where are made the products.

Just try it ! And let's make the biggest and only free database on food products !
