How U.S. Sanctions Affect Europe’s Leverage in the Iran Deal Dispute Resolution Mechanism
Officials from the states party to the JCPOA announce the deal, Lausanne, Switzerland on 2 April 2015 (State Department photo, https://www.flickr.com/photos/statephotos/16389773974; Public Domain, https://www.usa.gov/government-works) The American withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018 has not prevented Washington from influencing the future of the agreement. Quite the opposite. The impact of U.S. sanctions measures reimposed after the U.S.’s withdrawal from the deal has been key to the current dispute between Iran and the European parties to th... more »

Discoscapa Apicula: Oldest Record Of Primitive Bee With Pollen Dates Back 100 Million Years
A primitive bee from 100 million years ago has two things in common with bees of today; pollen and a parasite that caused its demise, much like varroa mites cause periodic colony collapse disorder today. The mid-Cretaceous fossil from Myanmar provides the first record of a primitive bee with pollen and also the first record of the beetle parasites, which continue to show up on modern bees today. Beetle parasites may have caused the flight error that was deadly for the insect. The *Discoscapa apicula* specimen became stuck in tree resin and thus preserved in amber, and has now been... more »
How More Grocery Stores Could Reduce Food Waste
An article in *Manufacturing&Service Operations Management *says that an increase in the number of stores directly *decreases* consumer waste. The reason is improved access to groceries which would men better distribution of inventory and price competition. Food waste is a big problem in all developed countries; Europe became a joke in the previous decade when they set out to ban sales of 'ugly' food. In the U.S., the Department of Agriculture estimates food waste at between 30-40 percent of the food supply. read more
Chinese Eugenics Upside: It Reduced The Education Gap Among Women
Much has been made of Chinese student achievement test scores, but inconvenient confounders are often ignored, such as that Chinese learn by rote. No teach in America wants to do that. Teachers are poorly paid and clean their own toilets. And only elite kids take the tests. The non-elites were overwhelmingly decimated by China's one-child policy, a totalitarian government mandate enacted in 1979 to reduce the population until agriculture could catch up. However, it closed the education gap, at least for those not born illegally. And for those women who weren't aborted by government ... more »
Endocrine Disruption From Cosmetics Your Mom Used Made You Fat, Not Calories, Claims New Paper
A new paper by epidemiologists in Europe will overturn centuries of diet and health thinking; the thinking that eating too much makes people gain weight. Instead, the new statistical correlation argues, the weight gain is due to pregnant women who used cosmetics containing parabens, which triggered epigenetic changes in the babies, who then grew up to be fat. It is yet another thing you can blame on your mother. read more
Galentine's Day Is A Thing But Malentine's Day Is Not - Why?
Today, women will celebrate Galentine’s Day, a holiday trumpeting the joys of female friendships. The holiday can trace its origins to a 2010 episode of “Parks and Rec,” in which the main character, Leslie Knope, decides that the day before Valentine’s Day should be an opportunity to celebrate the platonic love among women, ideally with booze and breakfast food. In the years since the episode aired, the fictional holiday has caught on in the real world. read more

Increasing Chaos
The chaos surrounding the natural gas pipeline in British Columbia is spreading across the country. And Linda McQuaig is struck by the difference between how the Trudeau government treats Jason Kenney and Canada's native people: I admit to being against further oilsands development, making me a person of interest to the sleuths in Kenney’s $30-million “war-room” who are tasked with vilifying oilsands critics.

The long march through the institutions
The biggest disadvantage of having a two-man blog is that if both of us are out of office for more than a couple of days the ‘above the line’ content lags behind the cutting edge of broadcasting-related commentary. Developments and issues that have been discussed on other blogs have turned into yesteryear’s chip paper before you’ve had time to log on.

Mortal Terror And Wisdom
The mortal terror inspired by the arrival of barbarian destroyers is the beginning of wisdom. People become aware of the seriousness of reality, and they acknowledge the value of their way of life, at the time when everything that they hold dear is on verge of being wiped out by an implacable enemy. In times of peace and prosperity, people become unserious; their politicians and intellectuals take the world for granted, they waste their energy in squabbling over petty issues and debating utopian theories.

Bioweapons - Coming Soon to a War Near You
The world's latest iteration of a deadly virus has led to much conjecture about its source, whether it is a human-made pathogen and whether it escaped from a BSL-4 highly secure laboratory in China. While we are highly unlikely to ever know the entire story behind 2019 nCov, there is some interesting information about the use of bioweapons that can be gleaned from a document that formed an important foundation for the neoconservative mindset in Washington. Back in 1997, a Washington-based neoconservative think tank was established as a non-profit by Robert Kagan and William Kristol... more »

The Orthodox Wiki explains how it is interpreted and used by Orthodox Christians: “The song constitutes a hymn of thanksgiving to God for deliverence from the fiery furnace into which the three young men, Ananias, Azarias and Misael (also known as Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego) had been cast by the Persian... more »

The Most Widely Used Cooking Oil In The US Found To Cause Genetic Changes In The Brain
Here we go again. The meta stats cited are misapplied as usual and we do not have comparables for all those other oils. This type of junk drove butter almost out of the market for decades to our serious detriment. There is scientific information here we can now measure. What it all means is hopelessly premature unless you want to promote soy oil out of the market to make room for your dodgy product.

Those unexpected leaps between poles and trees are again expected, though the apparent scale is way larger than i expected. throw in a separate report regarding speed on the ground and we have an incredibly formidable creature long before Yet the sheer strength of these leaps is completly impressive and certainly makes even an open forest an easy traverse.
