WTO Steps Back from the Abyss of Irrelevance … but Crucial Issues Remain Unresolved
James BacchusAfter pulling an all ‐nighter in Geneva, the 164 members of the World Trade Organization pulled a few paces back from the abyss of trade irrelevance in the conclusion of their long‐delayed and much‐anticipated 12th ministerial conference. For only the second time since the establishment of the institutio n in 1995, they were able to conclude a multilateral trade agreement. Indeed, they concludedseveral. This alone is worthy of applause amid the current concatenation of crises from climate change, covid, and military conflict. Because of the success in simply concluding these agreements, the WT...

Satan and the Stolen IFs: A Teaching Story
Satan and the Stolen IFs: A Teaching StoryOne dull night in hell, an under-demon went up to Satan with an idea.“We’re getting too much resistance to converting new Christians into new devils—except, of course, in churches that preach the Easy Gospel (those are the ones we call "easy-in, easy-out.") Research indicates that in those churches where a set of moral and spiritual values (fromthat book) is not emphasized, the evangelistic message is watered down and presented as not having any universal behavioral application. But it makes it easy to call oneself a Christian. The termChristian is no longer a syn...

Russian Public Opinion on the Ukraine War: Perspectives from the American Experience
John MuellerSince World War II, the United States has conducted extended wars in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Whether the Russian effort in Ukraine will be similarly extended has yet to be seen. However, should that come about, evidence about public opinion from America ’s wars suggests lessons—and non-lessons—for assessing Russian opinion on the war in Ukraine.The comparison suggests that, after a rally-round-the flag effect at the outset of the war, a decline of support is to be expected regardless of the effects of media coverage, antiwar demonstrations, censorship and propaganda efforts, or military hap...

Sugar and Mental Health
Sugar tastes amazing and is in so many products that most people aren’t even aware of how much they are consuming daily.
Most people are aware that sugar isn’t a healthy food, but may not realize how detrimental sugar is to your overall health.
More recent research is showing a strong link between mental health and diet, suggesting that there is a two-way street between our bellies and our brains.
What has sugar in it?
When people talk about sugar, the first thing that comes to mind is the white, granulated stuff that the Brits pour into their tea.
However, there are many forms of sugar...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 25th 2022
We examined central genetic and environmental lifespan regulators (putative anti-aging interventions, PAAIs; the following PAAIs were examined: mTOR loss-of-function, loss-of-function in growth hormone signaling, dietary restriction) for a possible countering of the signs and symptoms of aging. Importantly, in our study design, we included young treated groups of animals, subjected to PAAIs prior to the onset of detectable age-dependent phenotypic change. In parallel to our studies in mice, we assessed genetic variants for their effects on age-sensitive phenotypes in humans.
We observed that, surprisingly, many PAAI...

Killifish Lose Central Nervous System Regeneration with Age
Killifish are one of the species capable of scar-free regeneration of organs following injury, a capability that researchers suspect exists in humans and other mammals, suppressed after early development, but accessible given the right manipulation of genetic controls, yet to be discovered. The study here notes that killifish appear to lose this capability in later life. Having a species that exhibits both proficient and limited regeneration under different circumstances may point the way towards specific genes and mechanisms relevant to the goal of enabling proficient regeneration in human patients. Or it may be entirely ...

10 Simple Ways to Spread the Optimism and Positive Energy Starting Today
“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”
Winston Churchill
Optimism.
It can turn a situation that looks negative or bleak into an opportunity or something to learn from.
It can replace the draining thoughts of pessimism with something that will create more positive energy and enthusiasm again.
And it can help you to jump over obstacles, to keep moving when you fall or stumble and to not give up just because you have had a couple of temporary setbacks.
So not just adding more of it to your own life but to the lives of the people in your world too is a ...

Answer to Case 678
Answer to theParasite Case of the Week 678: Sparganosis - infection with the larval form (sparganum) of Spirometrasp. Kudos to Dr. Francisco Bravo for getting the correct answer, and for the nice description from Florida Fan.This was a fascinating case as sparganosis is a relatively rare parasitic infection in humans, and the way it was discovered following fine needle aspiration is very unique. It ' s possible that the laminated calcification seen on the aspirate smear is a calcareous corpuscle, but it ' s hard to know for sure. Therefore, it was a good thing that the sparganum began to extrude from the a...

Zoom POD for Sterile Field Clot Capture: Interview with Daniel Davis of Imperative Care
Imperative Care, a medtech company based in California, created the Zoom Stroke Solution, a complete system for the mechanical removal of clots in patients with ischemic stroke. The system includes an access catheter, aspiration catheters, a powerful pump, and the latest addition, the Zoom Pod, a clot filter that is positioned within the sterile field.
As the filter is located within the sterile field, it allows the clinician to immediately identify when the clot has been aspirated, and avoids the need to try to find the clot after the procedure has been completed by opening a sealed aspiration canister. If clinicians w...

Sunday Sermonette: The magnificence of Dear Leader
The first part of chapter four is basically an administrative directory -- the names of Solomon ' s cabinet officers and provincial governors. Since these events purportedly happened centuries before this was written, I have no idea why anybody is supposed to care about this list of names. The second part is like North Korean propaganda. Kim Jong Un bowled 300 five times in a row, wrote a symphony when he was five years old, that sort of thing. Just a reminder, which shoudn ' t be necessary by now, but according to the archaeological and historical evidence, Israel at this time was at most a collection of small ...
