This guy is brilliant. He presents raw data slides and a correct perspective on the true complexity rather than the alarmist simplicity.

Secrets of the Sambar
During the 2003 bushfires which burnt 1.3 million hectares of forested mountain country in north east Victoria and Gippsland, the author studied the immediate to long term effects of these fires on Sambar and other wildlife. Errol continued his study after the 2006/07 fires which burnt another 1.2 million hectares throughout the north east and Gippsland. As well as spending countless months on the ground, Errol flew over the massive area destroyed by these infernos, during which he photographed the devastating impact.
Errol’s study resulted in the publication of the 45 page chapter Bushfire – Immediate to Long Term Effects in Secrets of the Sambar Volume 2. He describes the recycling and regenerating power of nature from the moment everything has been reduced to ash to the succulent and nutritious regrowth which follows. Errol explains the immediate to long term effects on sambar survival, reproduction and antler growth. He discovered that where you will find sambar in the months after the fire is determined by the intensity of the burn in that area.

Astronomers have no clue from where a burst of gravitational waves hit our planet.
A mysterious cosmic event might have ever-so-slightly stretched and squeezed our planet last week. On Jan. 14, astronomers detected a split-second burst of gravitational waves, distortions in space-time … but researchers don’t know where this burst came from.
Why Has IBM’s Watson Failed?
Socrates has done a fantastic job in picking turning points, rallies, projections for resistance, so many things. Yet IBM’s Watson was supposed to blow everything out of the water and find the cure for cancer and it has failed miserably. What did you do that IBM did not?

America’s Invisible Pot Addicts
This is a good article on the real effects of all the marijuana legalization. It’s a long read, but shows that major media are getting the message that the Wild West of Wide Open Marijuana Legalization was just possibly a terrible idea.

Professor uses ‘feminist buzzwords’ to get entire passage from Hitler’s ‘Mein Kampf’ published in academic journal
A PROFESSOR is facing the sack after using “feminist buzzwords” to get an entire passage from Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” published in an academic journal.
Peter Boghossian helped create a series of spoof academic papers to satirise a number of fields including what he describes as the “grievance studies” – including fields on gender, obesity and homosexuality.
The assistant philosophy professor at Portland State University in Oregon penned a total of 20 “intentionally broken” and “nonsense” papers with the help of two collaborators.
Each of one was deliberately ridiculous – but astonishingly seven were accepted by peer-reviewed journals, The Times reports.
Tom: I must save this link for individuals who reject direct observation and ask for peer reviewed studies!

SARS Virus Patent
Chris Kirckof posted:
“So let me get this straight about this virus
It’s ‘new’ yet it was lab created and patented in 2015 (in development since 2003).
The patent expired today, on the day the first case is announced in the US.
The patent also tells us the CDC helped make this! “This invention was made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency of the United States Government. Therefore, the U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention.”
And now magically a vaccine is in the works for it already? Yet the patent in 2015 already references a vaccine for it.
But what do I know? I’m just a conspiracy theorist.”
Weeds More Nutritious Than Veggies
Researchers from the University of California Berkeley have identified 52 edible weeds growing in abundance in the poorest neighborhoods of San Francisco, surrounded by busy roads and industrial zones.
At least six of them are more nutritious than kale, according to a new study.
The three low-income neighborhoods the researchers studied have been classified as “urban food deserts” — meaning they are more than a mile from the nearest shop that sells fresh produce.
Of the 52 species of wild-growing “weeds” they found, they tested six for nutrition content:
Chickweed
Dandelion
Dock
Mallow
Nasturtium
Oxalis
All six were more nutritious, by most accounts, than kale – arguably the most nutritious domesticated leafy greens.
The weeds boasted more dietary fiber, protein, vitamin A, calcium, iron, vitamin K, and provided more energy.
Tom: Given from where they were sourced I would have liked them to do toxin testing too!
