Blue glass beads from Venice apparently reached Arctic Alaska
decades before Christophe Columbus.
American Archeologists found the blueberry-sized beads during in
the Brooks Range and dated their discovery to the 15th century.
The beads may thus to be the first European objects

#ShapingtheVeniceOfTheFuture
Venice was the birthplace for the exchange of shares in ships. The
merchant bankers would exchange these shares which were then
divided into "carats" and put up for auction.
This system allowed Venice to take part in maritime adventures
on a very large scale from the 14th century.

Integration between Port and Airport Terminals
Green transition by 2045
Port of Nantes Saint-Nazaire is studying the optimization of
methane transportation, by loading returning empty LNG
tankers with CO2 to produce third generation agrofuels
(micro algae) in exporting areas, notably in Qatar and the
Gulf region.
Any country in the world can manufacture liquefied gas.
However, Nantes Saint-Nazaire played a pioneering role in
many research (oxygen, nitrogen, propane, carbon dioxide
...). Energy efficiency - innovating and investing to
consume less and spend less - requires such investments
to be - in principle - profitable with a longer or shorter
return on investment.
In many countries, there are Green Banks that contribute
to the growth of clean energy financing.
Also energy service companies (ESCOs) are compensated
on the energy cost savings made (formerly called Sofergies
in France). Also practiced in several states in the United
States.

The sky’s the limit ? The
amazing world of helium
• A gas to serve humanity as the third
navigation route for the third millennium?
• Referring to Helios, the Sun in ancient Greek,
helium is the second lightest and most
abundant gas in the universe. Helium
represents about 25% of the solar mass and
represents 7% of the atomic matter of the
universe, or about 23% of the total mass of the
elements.
• Helium is an odorless, colorless, tasteless and
non-toxic element that is lighter than air. It has
the lowest boiling point among the known
elements, at -268.9 ° C. The properties, among
other things, make helium one of the most
valuable elements in the known universe.

More than one hundred French companies are working on Boeing programs,
making France a major and strategic aerospace cluster to the group.
The Boeing French Team was launched in 2005 to highlight the breakthrough of
French manufacturers on the 787 Dreamliner program.
William Edward Boeing (1881-1956) orphaned at the age of 9 in 1890, went to a
boarding school, among other places, in Vevey, Switzerland, during the 1893-1894
school year. He went to France on several occasions to meet his French uncle.
The family origins of Wilhelm Edward Böing go back to Mulhouse. It is in this French
region that he would also have learned to fly at the Mulhouse-Habsheim airport.
And completed several internships at Aviatik Company.
