Polar Vortex Knock-Off Headed Straight Toward Us: Gothamist

Trigger Warning: An unseasonable blast of cold air reminiscent of last winter’s infamous Polar Vortex is headed our way next week. Tropical Storm Neoguri, off the coast of Japan, has initiated a chain reaction in weather patterns which, according to Weather Underground, will cause a ripple effect in the jet stream over western North America, resulting in a phenomenon “similar to the nasty ‘Polar Vortex’ pattern that set up during the winter of 2014.” Guess we’re still not done slurping up winter’s blood from that snowman’s skull. Fine, pass it over.

Indigenous Resistance: Whistleblower: US erased records of Native American remains

A combination of budget cuts and the low priority assigned by Reclamation managers caused NAGPRA responsibilities to fall by the wayside, according to Patrick Williams, a former Museum Specialist in Archeology at the Mid-Pacific Regional Office in Sacramento, California, PEER said.

As a result, Reclamation –

Ceased detailed cataloging of new remains and death rite relics discovered, leaving collections boxed up in storage;

Did not keep track of collections on loan to museums and universities; and

Routinely failed to notify tribes of ancestral recoveries, thus blocking any chance of repatriating ancestral remains, one of the main purposes of NAGPRA.

Spin City News! DARPA taps Lawrence Livermore to develop world’s first neural device to restore memory — ScienceDaily

Fanciful? Yes. Why? So it looks as they are doing something about brain trauma. What about the money? Ever heard of camel’s nose under the tent? $2.5 million does not buy anything anymore but then you add $110 million, and then, $500 million and then…

The Department of Defense’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) awarded Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) up to $2.5 million to develop an implantable neural device with the ability to record and stimulate neurons within the brain to help restore memory, DARPA officials announced this week.

Clear differences between organic and non-organic food, study finds | Environment | The Guardian

Organic food has more of the antioxidant compounds linked to better health and lower levels of toxic metals and pesticides, according to the most comprehensive scientific analysis to date.

The international scientific team behind the new work suggests that switching from regular to organic fruit and vegetables could give the same benefits as adding one or two portions of the “five a day” currently recommended.

The team, led by Prof Carlo Leifert at the University of Newcastle, concludes that there are “statistically significant, meaningful” differences, with a range of antioxidants being “substantially higher” – between 19% and 69% – in organic food. It is the first study to demonstrate clear and wide-ranging differences between organic and conventional fruits, vegetables and cereals.
