A rather larger Global shirtpocket radio with a 10 transistor circuit. Not the flashiest Global radio but it does have some cool design elements like the starburst motif with fake diamond inset, the vertical slide rule dial and tapered cabinet.

The carbon cycle refers to the continuous movement of carbon, the most abundant element on the planet, through the oceans, land, atmosphere, fossil fuels and all life on Earth. Learning about the existence of carbon at each of these levels of the environment helps us understand the importance of keeping the cycle stable and the consequences of an unbalanced cycle.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a secure seedbank located on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near the town of Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago, about 1,300 kilometres from the North Pole. The facility preserves a wide variety of plant seeds in an underground cavern. The seeds are duplicate samples, or "spare" copies, of seeds held in genebanks worldwide.

(Wikipedia)

Strange building in the innocent hills of Svalbard... seed bank is there, hidden but visible, anyone may come close to and explore... in the land of polar wilderness.

Info (SP): Tras probar su robustez con la primera generación Magnus, Global decidió encargar veintidós unidades de la nueva generación del mismo modelo. De esos veintidós, veinte fueron vehiculos de 15 metros de longitud. Principalmente fueron utilizados para la durísima ruta de la linea 01, la cual transcurre mas de cuatro horas de punta a punta. Esta unidad en particular perdió en febrero de 2025 tras sufrir un incendio que la destruyo por completo.

Info (EN): After testing the strength from the vehicles from the first generation, Global decided to place an order of twenty-two vehicles from the newest generation. Out of those twenty-two, twenty were 15m long vehicles. They mainly started out covering the callous 01 route; which takes an astonishing 4-hour-plus duration from point to point. This particular vehicle was lost in February 2025 after it was completely destroyed by an engine fire.

13:00 –14:30 Special Roundtable Discussions

THE FUTURE OF TRANSPORTATION

Presented by Volvo Cars

The global transportation industry is going through a dramatic transformation. With high oil prices and climate change concerns, governments and the private sector are working together to create new, sustainable transportation systems. How will the automobile adapt to a low-carbon world of 9 billion people? What are the opportunities to harness big data to link with mass transits systems? How will road, rail, air and water transportation adapt, evolve and integrate?

Discussion leaders:

Michael Dunne, President, Dunne & Co.; Author, American Wheels, Chinese Roads

Rolf Habben-Jansen, Chief Executive Officer, Damco

Lex Kerssemakers, Senior Vice President Product Strategy, Volvo Car Corp.

Giuseppe Recchi, Chairman, ENI
