John Thornton has laid out his vision for Barrick Gold Corp.: a more diversified mining company that can tackle big projects by accessing capital and partners in Asia.
"That's where I'd like to see Barrick go," he told reporters.
Mr. Thornton was officially declared the Barrick's next chairman on Wednesday after Peter Munk, 86, retires at next year's annual meeting.
In a joint meeting with reporters, Mr. Munk talked about how he feels the world's centre of gravity has shifted from West to East, and that Barrick needs a leader who can access capital and key business leaders in that country. Mr. Thornton headed up a Chinese business school for nearly a decade and has a wealth of Asian contacts.
Mr. Munk also mentioned the rising costs and challenges of bringing mines into production, and that forming Asian partnerships will allow Barrick to tackle projects that would otherwise be increasingly tough. It is understood that he has been seeking greater Asian influence at Barrick for a number of years.
As a believer in the long-term Asian growth story, Mr. Thornton believes it makes sense for Barrick to be producing a broader mix of commodities, including more copper. Some investors will bristle at this, particularly since Barrick's last foray into copper (the acquisition of Equinox Minerals Ltd.) was a disaster.
But Mr. Thornton has met with many of the company's key investors since becoming co-chairman last year, and he said they appear to be more relaxed about diversification now that gold companies have lost the premium stock price multiples they used to enjoy.
Mr. Munk said he had planned to retire sooner than this, but ended up staying longer because of Barrick's numerous operating and liquidity problems this year.
While Mr. Thornton has ambitious plans for Barrick, he also said his main priority right now is to get all its current operations running well.
These are the first public comments Mr. Thornton has made about Barrick, even though he has been co-chairman for more than a year. Until now, he was best known among investors for receiving a US$12-million "signing bonus" last year when he accepted the job. The payment was opposed by Canada's largest pension funds and drew a lot of negative attention to Barrick's corporate governance.
Barrick addressed the governance issues on Wednesday by naming four new directors: Ned Goodman, Nancy Lockhart, David Naylor and Ernie Thrasher. Longtime directors Brian Mulroney and Howard Beck are resigning.
Mr. Goodman, the legendary Bay Street investor, was the most surprising choice. He is a geologist with extensive mining industry experience, something that Barrick's board lacks and investors wanted to see in the new appointees. But he was also one of the only voices in Canadian business to approve Mr. Thornton's infamous pay package.
"[Mr. Goodman] is clearly one of the best mining investors in Canada. He will provide great capital markets insight," said Dennis da Silva, a resource portfolio manager at Middlefield Capital.
In terms of Mr. Thornton's contributions, Mr. da Silva mentioned three areas where his Asian rolodex could help Barrick right away: getting an investment from a sovereign wealth fund, finding a buyer for the company's majority stake in African Barrick Gold PLC, and finding a partner for the troubled Pascua-Lama project. That last hurdle may be the toughest to overcome, given the serious environmental and cost over-run issues plaguing Pascua-Lama. Barrick suspended construction of the project last month.


Two masters of solo creativity made the stage of the Maison Symphonique de Montréal their home last night in a double bill overflowing with tear-provoking expression.
Have you seen Colin Stetson live? Have you heard him conjure the sound of charging elephants with the valves of his bass saxophone? Evoke an aboriginal didgeridoo soundscape with a bass clarinet? The spinning of triplets into whirling clouds of atmosphere in pieces like 'Spin Drift' and 'Judges' may sound like a delicate business although Colin's swaying on stage and stretches between pieces indicates the taxing physical dimension of his muscular performance. He gives a huge amount to the music and the audience feels it — not least through the boggling throat-singing that is mic-ed on his neck. It is hard to believe that the same set of lungs feeding the frantic, percussive bass saxophone is simultaneously issuing these ethereal melody lines.
Non-conventional vocal additions are one of the segues into the second part of this double bill. After a baroque-ish introduction to his set via sounds akin to a celeste-synth, Tigran gets to work on the piano complete with falsetto doubling of the upper register in 'The Cave of Rebirth'. 'Etude Numero 1' has a classically-inspired fugue feeling to it that befits the symphonic setting while 'Markos and Markos' takes a simple theme that is tossed between the hands and then developed into a solo piano masterwork. Where in other parts of the set, the mic picks up largely ornamental vocal additions by Tigran, the set-closing 'Nairian Odyssey' sees him pull the mic close and build the sound of fluttering wings into a highly detailed beatbox layer.
Closing compliments of this review go to the festival who had the vision to put such exceptionally expressive soloists in this sophisticated space. This 2,000+ capacity symphonic hall is a large space to fill and the audience are hanging on every note. At one point Colin (announcing with a microphone) asks the audience if he actually needs it. 'No!' they respond — 'God, I love symphony halls' he replies. Well, the halls love these two performers and their music too.

Newsbrief: Judge vs. Prosecutor in St. Louis Sentencing Scuffle 3/19/04
The head prosecutor in St. Louis, Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, has repeatedly sought to have cases removed from a judge she considers too lenient, and the judge has publicly criticized prosecutors' "ridiculous" sentencing recommendations, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported March 12. Joyce has ordered prosecutors to file motions to remove Circuit Judge Evelyn Baker from more than 150 cases.
While lawyers familiar with the brouhaha told the Post-Dispatch Joyce was upset with Baker's "leniency" in drug cases, Joyce would not comment directly, telling the newspaper only, "I request a change of judge when I believe it is in the best interest of justice, and the victims' and citizens' safety."
"That's such a joke," Baker shot back. "The safety of citizens. Whatever happened to the efficient and effective administration of justice?" Moving to disqualify her from cases only further slowed an already overloaded court system, she told the newspaper. "It's a disservice to taxpayers," the judge said. "People are sitting over there in that jail -- that we're paying for -- because their cases are not moving."
Prosecutors want sentences that are "very high," Baker said, particularly for first-time non-violent drug offenders. "Treatment is a lot cheaper than incarceration for an extended period of time," she argued.
Prosecutors' sentencing recommendations are often "ridiculous," Baker continued, citing the case of an aging drug user with no history of violent crime. He was convicted of heroin possession, and prosecutors sought a 20-year sentence, she said. By contrast, those same prosecutors recommended the minimum 10-year sentence for an alleged gang member convicted of second-degree murder. In another case, Paul D. Baker pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance, and prosecutors recommended a 20-year sentence. Judge Baker gave him probation.
While Circuit Attorney Joyce told the Post-Dispatch she denies Baker's accusation that her office had a "blanket policy" of seeking her removal from cases, Joyce did say that her attorneys had filed at least 150 removal motions directed at Baker. They had filed none against any of the 10 other circuit court judges in the jurisdiction, she admitted.
Baker told the Post-Dispatch that her sentences adhered strictly to the state's sentencing guidelines, but that she also kept prison overcrowding with drug offenders in mind when pronouncing sentences. "I know they don't like a lot of my rulings," she said, "but I strictly go by the law."
The rebellion of the black robes, most pronounced in the federal judiciary, creeps through the state courts as well.

U.S. Adults Should Begin Diabetes Screening at 35, Medical Panel Recommends
Claire Bugos

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force now recommends screening for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes at age 35, five years earlier than the previous recommendation.
Screening at a younger age can help individuals get earlier medical treatment or preventative care.
Certain lifestyle changes, like becoming more physically active and eating a healthier diet, can decrease chances of developing diabetes.
A medical panel recommended that people who are overweight should be screened for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes starting at age 35, five years earlier than previous advisory.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), an independent group of medical experts that makes evidence-based recommendations for preventive services and screenings, suggested that screening at a younger age could facilitate earlier medical treatment.
The new guideline comes amid rising rates of obesity and diabetes in the United States. Around 13% of U.S. adults have diabetes while 34.5% meet the criteria for prediabetes, according to CDC's 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report.
More than 40% American adults should now be screened, the task force said.
"If they have overweight or obesity—unfortunately that's most people living in the country—and if people are discovered to have pre-diabetes, they should be referred for effective preventive interventions, with diet and exercise being the primary ones," Michael Barry, MD, vice chair of the USPSTF, tells Verywell.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes and it affects how well the body can process sugar (glucose). It can lead to serious complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, limb amputation, and nerve damage.
Prediabetes, a precursor to Type 2 diabetes, is a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, it's especially important to prevent and treat diabetes, as the condition increases the risk of getting severely ill from COVID-19 infection.
Early Screening
Around 21% of people with diabetes were not aware of or did not report having diabetes, according to the CDC report. Barry says that testing for prediabetes and diabetes early on can allow people to take steps to prevent the development of full diabetes or treat their condition.
Primary care physicians can perform a blood test to screen for diabetes during an annual checkup. The task force said individuals should be screened every three years until age 70 and the recommendation does not apply to pregnant women.
Those with a family history of diabetes or a personal history of conditions like gestational diabetes, should be screened even earlier than age 35. Additionally, certain communities of color that have higher prevalence of diagnosed diabetes should also consider getting screened early.
Prevalence of Diagnosed Diabetes
Among U.S. adults, prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was highest among Native Americans/Alaska Natives (14.7%), Hispanic Americans (12.5%), and Black Americans (11.7%), followed by Asian Americans (9.2%) and non-Hispanic whites (7.5%), according to the 2020 National Diabetes Statistics Report.
Among adults of Hispanic origin, Mexicans (14.4%) and Puerto Ricans (12.4%) had the highest prevalences, followed by Central/South Americans (8.3%) and Cubans (6.5%).
Among Asian Americans, Asian Indians (12.6%) and Filipinos (10.4%) had the highest prevalences, followed by Chinese (5.6%). Other Asian groups had a prevalence of 9.9%.
Though experts don't expect that earlier screenings will detect significantly more people with developed diabetes, it may help identify more of the estimated 24% of young adults with prediabetes.
Preventing the Onset of Diabetes
A recent study indicates that there has been no substantial improvement in glycemic control and risk factor management for people with diabetes over the last decade.
"Even before COVID-19 presented a new challenge as a common cause of severe morbidity with particularly severe outcomes in the population with diabetes, there was growing evidence that the long-term improvements in diabetes-related complications have slowed in these groups," Edward Gregg and Tannaz Moin wrote in an editorial accompanying the task force's recommendation.
People who are diagnosed with prediabetes can make some lifestyle changes to help prevent it from developing into Type 2 diabetes. These include doing at least 150 minutes of physical activity per week, eating a healthier diet, and even losing some weight.
The drug Metaformin can also help manage glucose levels, though it's not as beneficial to overall health as adopting certain lifestyle changes.
"We've very reasonably focused on the COVID pandemic, given its severity and the number of people who've been affected," Barry says. "But all those old diseases, like diabetes, are still around. We need to acknowledge that overweight and obesity are an epidemic, and diabetes and pre-diabetes are an epidemic as well."
Blood tests can give you and your health provider information about your blood sugar levels. If tests indicate that you are at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, talk with your doctor about lifestyle or medication options to help prevent disease development.

Measuring Your Employees' Invisible Forms of Influence
Chantrelle Nielsen
David Niu
Si Meng
Companies are always looking for the best ways to assess the potential of employees. Managers want to understand how their teams contribute to the organization, and they want to identify high performers and potential leaders along the way. Many know and use the nine-box model, for example, to map past performance against future leadership potential. The people the model identifies as those with the most promise are often the ones a company will invest in through additional training and talent development programs.
But are these measurement methods still valid? Just as our workplaces have changed, the way we measure an employee's value also needs to change. Our belief is that companies aren't properly identifying the right people or behaviors in the first place — they fail to accurately assess an employee's potential value to the organization because of what they can't see. Specifically, traditional organizational reporting structures limit managers' visibility into how their employees are influencing and contributing to other teams. New workplace metrics are needed to help leaders get a more complete picture of this.
One window into an employee's impact within an organization is understanding how they collaborate and influence others within the organization. The latter trait in particular is something Korn Ferry research has identified as an important way to identify employees with leadership potential.
We got a unique window into this when TINYpulse — a software provider that helps companies measure workplace sentiment and peer-to-peer recognition through ongoing, one-question pulse surveys — partnered with Microsoft Workplace Analytics to examine the relationship between employee feedback, collaboration, and performance. TINYpulse provided Microsoft with aggregated numbers from a tool called Cheers for Peers, with which employees can send "cheers" to each other to recognize good work. TINYpulse tracked how many cheers were sent and received per employee at their company over a six-month period.
To understand how employee recognition relates to organizational influence, Microsoft analyzed how the number of cheers sent and received within TINYpulse correlated with network centrality in the email and meeting network over the same period. Network centrality is an index used to measure those with higher influence based on the number of connections that they have and the number of connections that their connections have — like Google's PageRank algorithm but for people.
The study found that the number of cheers an employee received was highly correlated with high network influence. This means the group of people who received the most praise from colleagues acted as communication hubs for the entire organization and were central to work getting done. Examining a bit further, we found that the number of aggregate internal interactions was also highly correlated with the number of cheers received. Perhaps it isn't surprising that this supports the notion that as people collaborated more with colleagues, they were recognized more by others at work.
We learned that highly regarded employees tend to collaborate across an organization, but we also wanted answers to two other questions: What behaviors make us believe certain employees are talented? and How can managers benefit from that information, particularly as it pertains to identifying potential leaders?
In the second stage of the research, TINYpulse provided Microsoft with a list of the top-performing employees it identified as those with high leadership potential. The list was matched with email and calendar behavioral data, and then anonymized and aggregated.
For the go-to-market segment, representing employees in sales and marketing functions, we found that top performers spent an average of 25 hours in their email and calendar per week, nearly 14 hours a week in internal collaboration, and about 12 hours a week in external collaboration. These numbers were similar to those of low performers.
There were two major differences, however. First, high performers spent nearly four hours more per week collaborating internally rather than externally, and this group had larger internal networks (an average of 27 connections), indicating they are more influential within the company than their peers. For comparison, the employee sample identified as low performers had an average network size of 20.
Second, high-potential individuals in the go-to-market group spent 34% more time with product and engineering groups than the team average. This is particularly important in the highly competitive software-as-service business, which requires very tight collaboration between those who interact with the users, buyers, and competition and the people who build the product.
"By analyzing this data, we were able to quantify the specific behaviors behind high-performing groups being flagged for leadership development and management opportunities," said David Niu, CEO of TINYpulse. "Understanding the how behind improved performance helps us identify the right behaviors to encourage and reward, which means development opportunities are open to more people."
Investments in leadership development increased 14% in 2014, according to Bersin by Deloitte, and the current demand for high-caliber talent is further compounded by new graduates entering the workforce each year. For companies to succeed, they must innovate in how they identify, train, and retain high-performing employees through new data-driven approaches. The traits of high performers are multidimensional, nuanced — and sometimes hidden. Although it is in its early stages, the powerful combination of self-reported employee feedback and objective measures gleaned through aggregate calendar and email activities can provide a more complete picture of performance and potential. Together, they have the potential to help unlock the mysteries surrounding what constitutes the best and brightest.
Chantrelle Nielsen directs research and strategy for Workplace Analytics, a new organizational productivity category at Microsoft. She led product management, marketing, and several other functions at VoloMetrix as they grew and were acquired by Microsoft.

I'm back with my Christmas card for the day. I finished it earlier but had to wait for it to dry.
This little sweetie is an Elisabeth Bell stamp from Whimsy Stamps. I had a good time coloring her! I added fun flock to her jacket and hat. I also added stickles to the snow. The vellum piece was embossed with a Darice embossing folder…I didn't measure it before gluing it down and had to trim it a bit.
Here is LOAD Day 17. One of my absolute favorites from this month!
I was googling "snuggle scrapbook titles" because I wanted something to go with snuggle. I saw a funny tshirt that said The Snuggle is Real so that was my inspiration for this page 🙂 I used the February sketch at The ScrapRoom Blog. So many fun layers on this one!
All papers are from the Bella Blvd Rover collection, so love the colors and patterns in this collection. I wish I bought more! I think I cut into every sheet I bought lol! The cute little flag is old Bella Blvd stash and the paw brad is ancient stash.


"Despite the Catholic Church's condemnation of practising homosexuality, the newspaper has now run a glowing review of a new book about the famously doomed lover of Lord Alfred Douglas. Wilde was "one of the personalities of the 19th century who most lucidly analysed the modern world in its disturbing as well as its positive aspects", wrote author Andrea Monda in a piece about Italian author Paolo Gulisano's The Portrait of Oscar Wilde.
Nevertheless, it is true that both in the review and in publishing an earier collection of aphorisms, the Vatican has commented a pprovingly on the wisdom behind many of Wilde's wittty remarks: in particular, that the Catholic Church is a place "for saints and sinners alone" – and not for respectable people or conformists.
"The Holy See started its unlikely love affair with the Irish playwright and author two years ago when it published a collection of his quips in the book Provocations: Aphorisms for an Anti-conformist Christianity. Wilde's famous comments "I can resist everything except temptation", and "the only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it" were included in the book, edited by Father Leonardo Sapienza.
This is profoundly true. The heart of the Gospel is precisely that it is about to reaching out to all – saints and sinners alike – and not to the rich and respectable, unless they discard those riches and respectability. Indeed, many of our most revered saints today were at one time or another either clear "sinners", or viewed with great suspicion or outright hostility by the Vatican establishment.
What might have attracted Oscar Wilde to Catholicism? At one level it might have been the camp ultramontanism of 18th and 19th century liturgy and music. This attracted so many converts of the era, lingering into the early 20th century, with leading figures of the Oxford Movement and later Anglo-Catholic revivals turning to Rome. Cardinal Newman, his beloved Ambrose St John, the hymn-writing Father Faber, and Robert Hugh Benson, were all aesthetes to varying degrees. Was there something in the harshness of Victorian society that encouraged them to seek out alternative values in the Catholic church of those times?
Saint or Sinner: which are you?

I regularly contribute to national TV and radio news, commenting on topical space-related events, including a monthly space Q&A on BBC Radio 5 Live. I'm currently a vice-President of the Society for Popular Astronomy.
One of our current major public engagement projects is the bluedot festival – a celebration of music, science, technology and the arts. We are also working on a project to celebrate the heritage of Jodrell Bank in post-war science including the construction of a new gallery (part of the First Light project, part-funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund) and I was a co-author of the documents nominating the Observatory as a World Heritage Site submitted by the UK Government to UNESCO in Jan 2018.

On Thanksgiving 2018, the first year I had this blog, I wrote about ten people I was thankful for. They were all over the map—a social worker, the designer of the first bra, and a food safety pioneer, among others. Last year, I narrowed my focus to ten illustrators I was thankful for. This year, I'm narrowing the focus further, to women illustrators. I'm also reducing the number, because ten illustrators was exhausting for me and, let's face it, maybe you too.*
Neysa McMein
Neysa McMein, 1918 (Library of Congress)
You know those implausible historical movies where the main character is involved in every notable event of the era? Like, if the heroine were living a hundred years ago, she'd be a suffragist and also entertain troops during the war and also be best friends with Dorothy Parker and also be a famous painter whose studio was a salon where people like George Bernard Shaw and Charlie Chaplin and Noel Coward and H.L. Mencken would party on while she painted away at her easel, ignoring them?
That's Neysa McMein.
McMein was born in Quincy, Illinois in 1888, with the much more prosaic first name of Marjorie. Her father, who owned a printing company, was an alcoholic, and the family was not a happy one. McMein studied at the Art Institute of Chicago and then moved to New York in 1913, working briefly as an actress before turning to illustration. Commercial success eluded her until, at the advice of a numerologist, she changed her name to Neysa, after a favorite racehorse. She soon sold her first cover to the Saturday Evening Post.**
Nearly sixty other Saturday Evening Post covers followed.***
As I have previously mentioned, McMein was active in the suffragist movement.
Neysa McMein (New York Times, November 4, 1917)
When the United States entered the war, McMein was, according to her hometown paper, one of seven artists chosen by the Division of Pictorial Publicity of the War Department's Committee on Public Information to go to France to illustrate the American war effort. Except, oops, she was a woman, a fact that had eluded the Division. What to do? McMein solved the problem by volunteering to go overseas as a YMCA volunteer instead. She entertained troops with Dorothy Parker,**** to considerable acclaim, and was saluted by a soldier with a poem that included this verse:
She's a lady of fame, this Neysa McMein,
And she numbers her friends by the host;
She's the party that places
Those wonderful faces
On the Saturday Evening Post.
In her downtime, McMein managed to contribute to the war effort artistically as well.
Neysa McMein,1918 (Library of Congress)
After the Armistice, she returned to New York, sold more magazine covers, became part of the Algonquin Round Table set, moved in with across-the-hall neighbor Dorothy Parker when Parker's marriage broke up, hosted the aforementioned salon, and, in 1923, married John Baragwanath.***** Their daughter Joan was born the next year. It was an open marriage that allowed for affairs with Charlie Chaplin, Ring Lardner, Robert Benchley, and others.
McMein was McCall's magazine's regular cover artist from 1923 to 1937. She also worked as the magazine's film reviewer.
She also did advertising work.
Neysa McMein, 1918 (metmuseum.org)
Motion Picture Classic, 1920
McMein painted portraits as well, and this allowed her to continue working when magazines turned from illustration to photography. Among her subjects were Herbert Hoover, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Charlie Chaplin, and, of course, Dorothy Parker.
Portrait of Dorothy Parker by Neysa McMein, ca. 1922 (dorothyparker.org)
Oh, and I almost forgot, she drew the original Betty Crocker.
bettycrocker.com
McMein died in 1949 at the age of 61.
McMein wasn't among the most technically accomplished illustrators of her era. A large percentage of her covers could be described as "woman who looks kind of like Neysa McMein in hat in front of white background." But she was one of the most popular and highly paid illustrators of her time. And what a life she lived!
Thank you, Neysa!
Edna Crompton
If you're thinking about how this is all very interesting but you have a kitchen full of Thanksgiving dishes to` get to, don't worry, I could hardly find any information about the other two women we're celebrating today. The sum total of what I've been able to find about Edna Crompton (mostly from this website) is that she lived from 1882 to 1952 and that she painted portraits and created calendars in addition to her magazine illustrations. As the 1920s progress, we'll be seeing more of her as a regular cover artist for Redbook. If you know anything else about her, please let me know!
In the meantime, we'll have to content ourselves with enjoying her art.
March 31, 1917 (saturdayeveningpost.org)
My favorite is still the Metropolitan cover that was featured in the 1915-1920 Magazine Cover Smackdown:
Thank you, Edna!
Harriet Meserole
Vogue cover artist Harriet Meserole also kept a low profile. I found a Find a Grave entry for a Harriet A. Meserole (1893-1989) buried in a Brooklyn cemetery, who, date of birth-wise, could be our Harriet. I learned on a website about the history of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, that the Meseroles were a prominent Greenpoint family, descended from French Huguenots who arrived in 1663. No mention of Harriet, though.
As far as I can tell, Meserole illustrated exclusivly for Vogue, and 1920s issues of Vogue are infuriatingly hard to access. They're not archived at Google's Hathitrust Digital Library, my main source of hundred-year-old magazine. Vogue has an online archive, but you need to be a subscriber to access most of it.****** Luckily, fashionmodeldirectory.com, which is much more intellectual than its name suggests, has a page about Meserole. FMD couldn't find much biographic information either, but they say that her work appeared inside the magazine as well as on the cover, and they provide the following 1923 quote from her, presumably from Vogue: ""I like simplicity in all things and people. I hate prettiness and ice cream. I also like being one of your younger artists." Questionable taste in desserts aside, she sounds charming!
Here's Meserole's first cover for Vogue, from February 1, 1919.
February 1, 1919 (vogue.com)
Her first full cover was this one, which made an appearance on my post on late-winter covers of 1920:
March 15, 1920 (vogue.com)
This is all from 1920, as far as I know, but there are many more to come.
July 15, 1924 (vogue.com)
October 1, 1924 (vogue.com)
I'm thankful to have Meserole's bright future to look forward to.
Thank you, Harriet!
I'm thankful, too, for all of you who have shared my time travels with me over the past three years. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
*It was originally going to be five, but life and Thanksgiving cooking got in the way. Sorry, Cornelia Barnes and Jessie Willcox Smith, I'll get to you at some point! My good intentions live on in the photo at the top of the post, from Smith's November 1920 Good Housekeeping cover.
**I know. It sounds bogus to me too.
***You can see them all at the Saturday Evening Post's wonderful art archive, and you can watch a video about McMein's life and art on the magazine's webiste as well.
****When they invent time travel, this is going to be one of my first stops.
*****They met at the house of dancer Irene Castle.

******I'm severely allergic to perfume, so subscribing to Vogue would be like subscribing to the Tear Gas Canister of the Month Club.
New on the Book List:
There's quite a lot new on the book list because I keep forgetting to do this. The newest entry is Mary Marie, by Eleanor Porter. (UPDATE 11/29/2020: I've just added a writeup of John Reed's Ten Days that Shook the World, which I finished listening to as an audiobook a few days before Thanksgiving.)

Thank you for another entertaining diversion. This Neysa McMein character seems implausible indeed. Maybe too implausible for a portrait movie, which she should have nevertheless. Of course, I've never heard about her until now.
Mary Grace McGeehan Post author November 29, 2020 at 11:02 am
Lars, it's great to hear from you! I agree that she'd be a great subject for a movie. There doesn't even seem to be a biography, which is a shame. I'd definitely read it.
Correction: There is a biography, "Anything Goes" by Brian Gallagher, published in 1987.
Lars Finsen November 29, 2020 at 12:02 pm
Good! I'll see if I can get hold of that.


Patrick D. Hahn takes us on an energetic tour of the Pharmaceutical Empire from fish exposed to Prozac and Xanax in contaminated rivers to corrupt doctors being paid off at Harvard. The Pharmaceutical Empire pollutes at every level. Patrick exemplifies how professionals outside the mental health field are appalled by what they find going on with psychiatric drugs and can make important contributions to critical psychiatry and pharmacology. Be informed and be inspired!

Karl Georg Ferdinand Jakob Maria, 5. Fürst Fugger von Babenhausen (* 15. Jänner 1861 in Klagenfurt; † 5. Juli 1925 ebenda) war ein Gutsherr und österreichischer Offizier, der dem Hochadel angehörte. Er war Kammerherr am Wiener Kaiserhof und seit 1906 formal Chef des Hauses Fugger-Babenhausen sowie Standesherr des Königreichs Bayern.

Leben
Fugger-Babenhausen war der Sohn des Fürsten Karl Ludwig Fugger von Babenhausen (* 4. Februar 1829; † 12. Mai 1906), des 1. Präsidenten der Kammer der bayerischen Reichsräte und von Friederike, Gräfin Christalnigg von und zu Gilitzstein (* 27. Mai 1832 in Klagenfurt; † 17. Juni 1888 ebenda). Fugger-Babenhausen war österreichischer Offizier und Kammerherr des Kaisers Franz Josef I. am Hof in Wien. Zum Zeitpunkt des Todes seines Onkels Leopold Fürst Fugger von Babenhausen im Jahre 1885 diente er als Leutnant im 12. Ulanen-Regiment. Von 1887 bis 1894 gehörte er zum Husarenregiment Nr. 9 in Ödenburg. 1894 wurde er zum Husarenregiment Nr. 11 nach Steinamanger versetzt.

Er war insbesondere auch bekannt durch seine seit 1887 mit Eleonora Fugger von Babenhausen, geb. Prinzessin zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein und Jagstberg, bestehende Ehe, die als Salonnière eine schillernde Rolle in der Donaumonarchie einnahm. Als Erbgraf war Karl Georg zur Nachfolge seines Vaters in der Kammer der bayerischen Reichsräte berechtigt, jedoch entwickelte er schon in jungen Jahren eine Spielsucht. Zwischen 1885 und 1905 hatte er über eine Million Mark, die er in Form von Apanagen und Geschenken erhalten hatte, verschwendet und darüber hinaus im Wiener Jockey-Club Darlehen in Höhe von etwa 1,5 Millionen Mark verspielt. Aufgrund dessen wurde er 1905 auf Betreiben des Fuggerschen Familienseniorats vom Amtsgericht Augsburg "wegen Verschwendung" entmündigt und ihm persönlich die Würde als erblicher Reichsrat aberkannt: nach dem Tod seines Vaters wurde er nicht als Nachfolger in den bayerischen Reichsrat eingeführt; die erbliche Reichsratswürde des Hauses Fugger-Babenhausen sollte zu seinen Lebzeiten ruhen. Zu seinem Vormund wurde Graf (seit 1914 Fürst) Carl Ernst Fugger von Kirchheim-Glött-Oberndorf ernannt. 1905 ließ er eine Villa erbauen, die zum denkmalgeschützten Ensemble Herrenhaus Bannecker in Augsburg-Bannacker gehört.

Obwohl Fürst Karl Georg wegen seiner Verschwendung seit 1905 unter Kuratel gestellt war, wurde er nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1906 dennoch als Standesherr und fünfter Fürst des Hauses Fugger von Babenhausen als eine sehr bekannte Person des öffentlichen Lebens in Österreich und Bayern wahrgenommen. Wann immer er eine gesellschaftliche Veranstaltung besuchte oder an einem bestimmten Ort logierte, war das in der Regel eine Meldung in der Presse wert. Er wurde zwar formal der Nachfolger seines Vaters als Fürst, Oberhaupt der Standesherrschaft Babenhausen und des fürstlichen Fideikommisses, konnte aber weder die damit verbundenen Rechtsgeschäfte ausführen noch den erblichen Sitz im bayerischen Reichsrat einnehmen, da diese Mitgliedschaft ruhte, solange er lebte. Sein Lebensmittelpunkt blieb deshalb in Österreich, wo sich in Kärnten auch der Stammsitz der mütterlichen Familie befand, das Schloss Meiselberg. Seine Frau und die Kinder übersiedelten jedoch 1906 von Wien ins Fuggerschloss Babenhausen, weil gemäß der testamentarischen Bestimmung andernfalls das Vermögen der Sekundogenitur nicht an den Sohn Leopold hätte vererbt werden können. Deshalb pendelte auch Karl Georg nach 1906 des Öfteren von seiner Garnison nach Babenhausen.

Am 1. Jänner 1908 war er bei einer Neujahrsgesellschaft mit seiner Frau im Hotel Bristol in Wien, als Frieda Strindberg, die geschiedene Frau des Schriftstellers August Strindberg, im Verlauf einer skandalösen Szene nach lautstarken an ihn gerichteten Vorwürfen eine Pistole auf Fürst Karl Georg richtete und abfeuerte. Obwohl die sichergestellte Waffe scharf geladen war, blieb er bei dem Schuss unverletzt. Fürst Karl Georg hatte, wie im Verlauf einer Gerichtsverhandlung aktenkundig wurde, noch als Erbgraf bei einer Gesellschaft von Katharina Schratt die Bekanntschaft mit Frieda Strindberg gemacht.

Im Sommer 1908 wechselte Fürst Karl Georg von Fugger-Babenhausen im Rang eines Rittmeisters vom Husaren-Regiment Nr. 8 zum Husaren-Regiment Nr. 6. Am 1. Juni 1909 übernahm er dort das Kommando der ersten Division Seebach im Rang eines Majors.

Nach Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde er im November 1914 in den Rang eines Obersten befördert. 1915 erfolgte die Transferierung vom Husaren-Regiment Nr. 6 zum Husaren-Regiment Nr. 3, dessen Kommando er übernahm. Nach dem Ende des Kriegs zog er sich aus dem aktiven Militärdienst in den Ruhestand nach Kärnten zurück. Nach längerer Krankheit verstarb er am 5. Juli 1925 im Sanatorium der Kreuzschwestern in Klagenfurt. Am 7. Juli 1925 fand unter großer Anteilnahme der Bevölkerung die Trauerfeier auf dem städtischen Friedhof in Annabichl statt. Anschließend wurde der Sarg für die Beisetzung ins Familiengrab nach St. Michael am Zollfeld überführt.

Auszeichnungen
 1915 Verleihung des Militärverdienstkreuzes III. Klasse "in Anerkennung tapferen Verhaltens vor dem Feinde"
 1915 erhielt er als Oberst des 3. Husaren-Regiments den Orden der Eisernen Krone als Ritter der III. Klasse.
 1915 Verleihung des Eisernen Kreuzes 2. Klasse.
 Im Juli 1917 erfolgte eine allerhöchste belobende Anerkennung bei gleichzeitiger Verleihung der Schwerter der Verdienstmedaille.

Ehe und Nachkommen
Erbgraf Karl Georg heiratete am 8. Jänner 1887 Eleonora Fugger von Babenhausen, geb. Prinzessin zu Hohenlohe-Bartenstein und Jagstberg (* 4. Oktober 1864; † 1. März 1945), eine österreichische Adlige und Salonnière. Das Paar hatte sechs Kinder:
 Friederike Maria Carolina Henriette Rosa Sabina Franziska Pauline Gräfin Fugger von Babenhausen (27. Oktober 1887 – 4. Juli 1949): Heirat 1908 mit Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart.

Q: Is possible to construct a polynomial that erases basis information for any multivector? Let me give two quick examples. Let $\mathbf{u}_1$ and $\mathbf{u}_2$ be a multivectors of $Cl_{3,0}(\mathbb{R})$:
$$
\begin{align}
\mathbf{u}_1&=x e_1+y e_2\\
\mathbf{u}_2&=a+be_1
\end{align}
$$

For $\mathbf{u}_1$, I can construct a polynomial (of degree 2) that erases all basis elements, simply by taking the geometric product:
$$
\mathbf{u}_1^2 = x^2+y^2
$$

For $\mathbf{u}_2$ this is also possible as follows:
$$
\begin{align}
\mathbf{u}_2^2&=a^2+b^2+2abe_1\\
\mathbf{u}_2^2&=a(2a+2be_1)-a^2+b^2\\
\mathbf{u}_2^2&=a(2\mathbf{u})-a^2+b^2\\
\mathbf{u}_2^2-2a\mathbf{u}+a^2-b^2&=0
\end{align}
$$

Of course, as a restriction, the original value of $\mathbf{u}_1$ and $\mathbf{u}_2$ must be a root of the polynomial. Bonus points if the produced polynomial is the lowest degree possible.

Is it possible to produce such a polynomial when we are talking about the most general multivector of say $Cl_{3,0}(\mathbb{R})$ or even $Cl_{3,1}(\mathbb{R})$:
$$
\mathbf{u}:=a\\
+t\gamma_0+x\gamma_1+y\gamma_2+z\gamma_3\\
+E_x\gamma_0\gamma_1+E_y\gamma_0\gamma_2+E_z\gamma_0\gamma_3\\
+B_x\gamma_2\gamma_3+B_y\gamma_1\gamma_3+B_z\gamma_1\gamma_2\\
+V_t\gamma_0+V_x\gamma_1+V_y\gamma_2+V_z\gamma_3\\
+b\gamma_0\gamma_1\gamma_2\gamma_3
$$

EDIT
Finding the roots of a complex number in $Cl_{3}(\mathbb{R})$ by solving a polynomial:
$$
\begin{align}
\mathbf{u}:&=a+bI=a+b\sigma_x\sigma_y\sigma_z\\
\implies \mathbf{u}^2&=a^2-b^2+2abI\\
&=a(2a+2bI-a)-b^2\\
&=a(2\mathbf{u}-a)-b^2\\
&=2a\mathbf{u}-a^2-b^2\\
\implies \mathbf{u}^2-2a\mathbf{u}+a^2+b^2&=0\\
\implies \mathbf{u}&=a\pm\sqrt{-b^2}=a\pm ib
\end{align}
$$
Finding the eigenvalues of the matrix representation of $\mathbf{u}$:
$$
\begin{align}
\mathbf{u}=a\pmatrix{1&0\\0&1}+b\pmatrix{i&0\\0&i}=\pmatrix{a+ib&0\\0&a+ib}
\end{align}
$$
The eigenvalues are the same: $a+ib$
The roots of the polynomial are not the same as the eigenvalues. Can I use the matrix representation to solve for the roots of the polynomial? This would be a different equation to solve than the equation of the characteristic polynomial?


Scalable integrated optics platforms based on silicon-on-insulator allow to develop optics and electronics functions on the same chip. Developments in this area are fostered by its potential as an I/O technology that can meet the throughputs demand of future many-core processors. Most of the optical interconnect designs rely on small footprint and high power efficiency microring resonators. They are used to filter out individual channels from a shared bus guide. Second-order microring filters enable denser channel packing by having sharper pass-band to stop-band slopes. Taking advantage of using a single physical ring with clockwise and counter-clockwise propagation, we implement second order filters with lower tuning energy consumption as being more resilient to some fabrication errors. Cascade ability, remote stabilization potential, energy efficiency along with simple design equations on coupling coefficients are described. We design second-order filters with FWHM from 45 GHz to 20 GHz, crosstalk between channels from -40 dB to -20 dB for different channel spacing at a specific FSR, with energy efficiencies of single ring configurations and compatible with silicon-on-insulator (SOI) state of the art platforms.

Politics || By: Lawrence O'Donnell	|| August 29, 2012 02:00 PM EST
Lawrence O'Donnell Picks Five Movies You Must See To Prepare For The 2012 Presidential Race
So Mitt Romney has been nominated as the Republican party's presidential candidate. To quote Robert Redford's money line from The Candidate, "What do we do now?" Even if you plan to watch his extremely fit, catfish-wrangling running mate Paul Ryan speak tonight and Mr. Bain Capital himself on Thursday, there's a big holiday weekend to wade through before President Obama and the Democrats stage their own dog-and-donkey show beginning Sept. 4 in Charlotte, NC.
In other words, it's a good time to watch some good movies, and, given that the 2012 presidential smackdown is about to go into overdrive, Movieline asked one of the sharpest political analysts we know, Lawrence O'Donnell, host of MSNBC's The Last Word and an Emmy-winning former producer and writer for The West Wing, to pick five essential movies for our readers to watch in preparation for the 2012 race. His choices are after the break. Now do your homework.
1. The Candidate (1972): If you watch only one movie about American politics, it must be The Candidate. The movie is 40 years old but remains flawlessly up to date and tells you everything you need to know about how campaigns really work.
2. The Seduction of Joe Tynan (1979): Alan Alda wrote and starred in this 1979 movie that shows the reality of life for a senator and includes a performance by Meryl Streep at the beginning of her brilliant career.
3. Wag the Dog (1997): Barry Levinson's brilliant and funny imagining of the collision of politics, sex scandals and war includes hysterical and thoroughly real performances by Dustin Hoffman, Robert De Niro and Denis Leary.
4. Election (1999): Election wants to show how bitter, nasty and cynical politics can be — so, of course, it is about the election of a high-school class president. Reese Witherspoon's stunning 1999 performance led to much bigger offers for her.
5. Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939): Frank Capra's film is the first important entry in American political film history. Jimmy Stewart's performance is indelible and this is the only movie ever shot in the US Senate.

Frank DiGiacomo says:
Lawrence, I have to ask: Why no "Ides of March"? My guess is that "The Seduction of Joe Tynan" is the, um, seminal version.
Michael McCroskey says:
What? 2016 not on the list? Shame shame shame
Wally Leitel says:
Wally Leitel,
I think Robert Redford in "The Candidate" is maybe the best ever political film. I am not so sure anyone could have made the film anywhere near as great as it is with Mr. Redford in it. He is (and always since his start in acting) has the stuff that men such as Spencer Tracy, Paul Newman, Gregory Peck has. I have never seen him in a film but I must go back and see it again and again...the guy is a master at what he does, Paul Newman in an interview once said (re "The Sting" they did together and Redfords acting in general), "He is something to watch."
Well said Paul Newman...who had the same effect on me as Redford does.

When Do Squirrels Have Babies?
Different species of squirrel can give birth at different times of the year. For example, white-tailed antelope squirrels have their babies in the spring while southern flying squirrels produce one litter in spring and another in fall. 1 There are dozens of different kinds of squirrels in North America alone, 2 so as usual, we'll focus on the most commonly recognized one, the eastern gray squirrel.
When Is the Eastern Gray Squirrel Breeding Season?
Gray squirrels can have up to two litters every year. 1,2,3 They usually mate in January and then again in June. 3 You can tell they're getting ready to breed if you see them performing their "pre-mating ritual", which involves a female leading one or more males on a merry chase. After becoming pregnant, the female squirrel will carry her babies for about 6 weeks before giving birth. 1 Most baby gray squirrels are born in the months of March and July. 2,4

How Many Babies Do Squirrels Have at a Time?
The number of babies in each squirrel litter is variable. Typically, gray squirrels give birth to 2 – 4 babies at a time, but their litters can contain up to 8 young. 2 Birth occurs in the nest where the infants will remain until they're weaned.

When Squirrel Baby Season Hits: What You Need to Know
Spring has sprung. That means it's officially squirrel baby season. While we impatiently await the sun's rays and higher temperatures, squirrels are anxiously awaiting the tiny pitter patter of baby squirrel paws.
As a homeowner, here's what you need to know about squirrel baby season.
Mating between eastern grey squirrels and between other tree squirrels in North America takes place twice a year—from January to February and again from June to July. Because the gestation period for most tree squirrels is around 45 days, you can expect to see squirrel babies a month and a half after the mating season.
More about Baby Squirrels
Squirrels can have between two and eight babies, but two or four per litter is typical. When baby squirrels are born, they only weigh about one ounce and are one inch in length. They're completely naked, deaf, and blind.
As a result, these babies are utterly helpless and fully dependent on their mothers, who are great caretakers.
As They Grow
Mom will take care of her babies in their nest until the young ones grow and become fully independent. At around seven to ten weeks of age, weaning will take place. Though the youngsters will be able to leave the nest soon after this time, they will stay near their mother for several weeks as they learn more of the survival skills required for their years in adulthood.
Your Home May Be the Squirrels' Home
Squirrel mothers are fiercely protective of their young. As a result, they'll seek out the safest areas to raise their babies—an area away from the elements and away from predators.
Your warm, dark, and safe attic might be the perfect home for a mother and her new babies. If a squirrel mother and her babies are living in your home, you can expect them to stay put for a few weeks—until the youngsters are independent and ready to face life on their own.
They Don't Make Great Houseguests
It's admirable that you may want to help a squirrel take care of her babies by allowing her to stay in your home. However, it's important to realize how destructive and unsanitary squirrels can be.
Squirrels are rodents; their teeth never stop growing during their lifetime. Because of this, they're constantly gnawing in order to keep their teeth short. Having squirrels in your home will likely lead to structural damage to wood beams, drywall, soft concrete, pipes, and many other materials. The mother may destroy your belongings and make a mess as she makes her nest. The family will also leave feces and urine all over the attic.
The longer the squirrels stay in your home, the most extensive and costly the damage will be.
You Need to Call the Squirrel Removal Experts
If squirrels are living in your home, it's best to evict them before they can cause any more damage. However, you'll want to ensure the safety of the animals and ensure the entire family is removed. For these reasons, it's critical to call humane squirrel removal experts to deal with the situation.
If you attempt to remove a squirrel on your own during squirrel baby season, you could end up leaving her helpless babies behind to die without her care.
The squirrel removal experts will inspect your home and determine where the squirrels are hiding and how many members of the family are living in your attic. They'll evict the mother using a humane method, such as a one-way door, and then hand remove the babies and reunite them with their mother.
To ensure no other squirrels make their way into your home the next time squirrel baby season rolls around, they'll also take preventative measures to seal up entry points and reinforce vulnerable areas.
Squirrel removal should only be performed by trained professionals.

Have you ever seen two squirrels chasing one another across your yard or up and down trees? They're not merely playing; they're flirting! The male squirrels are pursuing the females to mate with them, and afterward, the females will give birth to 2-8 baby squirrels.
Squirrel Mating: Mother Lures, Father Pursues
When a female squirrel is approximately one year old, and the weather starts warm from winter to spring, she will begin to emit specific pheromones and make chirping noises. These scents and sounds attract male squirrels and alert them that a female is fertile. Males are fertile all year round, but females only once or twice a year, so the males become very excited when they hear and smell a female ready to produce young.
The males in the area will seek out the female and then chase her for the opportunity to mate with her. If two males are pursuing her at the same time, they will fight each other for the chance. Older male squirrels are normally larger and so will win the fight against a younger male. Most squirrels, with the exception of Red squirrels, are non-territorial, so this is the only time they will act aggressively toward one another. Even in this case, however, the squirrels do not injure one another. They merely chase and try to intimidate one another until one submits and flees the scene.

Once a male catches up with and wins the undisturbed opportunity to mate with the female (mating only takes about a minute), he finishes by ejaculating a waxy plug into the female's vagina. This plug prevents the sperm of other males from impregnating her, though it can fail, and one litter can be produced by multiple fathers.
The female will continue to attract males with her pheromones and chirping for about two weeks to ensure that she is pregnant. After a male has mated with her, he might return to her to mate again but will not be involved with her during her pregnancy or afterward. He has no other role to play than mating with her to produce young.
It is essential that the female produce these pheromones and vocalizations because squirrels are color-blind. They see everything in shades of black, white, and gray, and squirrels do not mate with other species of squirrels. An Eastern gray squirrel does not mate with an American red squirrel, nor does a Northern flying squirrel mate with a Fox squirrel. They rely on scent, sound, size, and fur markings to help them know and mate with their own species.
Squirrel Mating Seasons and Identifying Your Squirrels
The five most common squirrel species in America are the Eastern gray, the American red, the Fox squirrel, Northern flying, Southern flying, and Ground squirrel. You can identify each by sight, and they each have slightly different mating habits.
Eastern gray squirrels are gray or silver with a white belly. They are about 18-20 inches long, including their tail. Some are all white (albino) and others are all black. They are common in the Eastern United States, meaning east of the Mississippi River. They like to live in nut-bearing trees and will build their nests out of sticks and other materials on tree branches or in hollowed cavities of tree trunks. They'll take over holes that a woodpecker made or damaged areas where a tree branch fell off as long as it's high enough off the ground to protect them from foxes, coyotes, snakes, and other predators. The ideal height for a squirrel nest is 40-60 feet off the ground. Eastern gray squirrels commonly breed in late winter or early spring, and then again in the middle of summer.
American red squirrels can be found all over the United States. They are smaller than gray squirrels, about 9-10 inches long, with reddish-brown fur and a white underbelly. They grow tufts of fur on their ears in the winter and like to make their nests in conifer (evergreen) trees rather than leafy deciduous trees. You can also tell if you have Red squirrels in your area if you find a large cache of nuts hidden in a hollowed log or in the ground. They do not hide nuts one by one but in a large pile. They will also chase other squirrels out of their territory, even if the other squirrels are larger. They mate twice per year in late winter and mid-summer, but the females are only fertile one day each breeding season. The male who mates with her will do so multiple times in a row to ensure that she becomes pregnant on that one day.
Fox squirrels are very similar to Gray squirrels but have spread from the eastern to central states. The difference in appearance is that Fox squirrels have reddish-gray fur with orange-tinted bellies. They mate most often in January and only bear one litter per year.
Flying squirrels are nocturnal while others are active during the day. They are 8-10 inches long, the same size as Red squirrels, and have grayish-brown fur with white undersides. You can tell if you have Flying squirrels by tapping on the trunks of your trees with a stick. The sleeping fliers will poke their heads out of the nests to see what all the racket is about and to determine if they need to escape to a safer location. Southern flying squirrels breed in late winter or early spring and then again during the summer months. Squirrels of the Northern variety only breed during the first period. You can tell the difference between the two because Southern fliers live in deciduous trees while Northern fliers live in conifers. Northern flying squirrels are also a little darker in color.
Ground squirrels live in… the ground! This family of species includes marmots, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and chipmunks. They burrow in hidden holes in the ground and live in a broader community than other species. Squirrels that often rise up on their hind legs are most likely ground squirrels. They breed in the early spring.
Besides Red squirrels, most species do not compete for territory. If there is enough food in a given area, they are happy to live nearby, even sharing space with other species. If you enjoy watching the squirrels, you can encourage them to live in your yard and grow their population with specially made squirrel feeders . It might be fun to see how many varieties of squirrels you can attract.
Squirrel Gestation Periods and Habits
A squirrel gestation period (the time that they are pregnant) lasts less than a month to a month and a half. An Eastern gray squirrel's gestation period is 44 days; an American red's 40 days; a Fox squirrel's 45 days; a Flying squirrel's 40 days; and a Ground squirrel's gestation period is 25-30 days.

During the squirrel's gestation period, the female continues to find food for herself and maintain her nest. She will hide food away for the coming months while also eating enough for her growing babies and to build up her own nutrients for nursing them once they are born. She will be very busy as the male squirrels do not assist her. Though squirrels are friendly with one another, they do not usually live in community. The exceptions to this rule are Ground squirrels, who are very communally oriented, and when squirrels choose to nest together for warmth. Even then, however, they do not share food resources. Each squirrel is expected to find their own. A female squirrel might also choose to build a new nest during this time if she deems her current location unsuitable or risky for young ones.
Squirrel Childbearing: Litter Size and Caring for Young
How many babies can a squirrel have? Most species have 3 or 4 babies at a time, but they could have as many as 9, and Ground squirrels could have up to 15 at one time!
Eastern gray squirrels give birth to their young in late winter or early spring and then again in July or August. They have anywhere from 2-9 babies in their nest. The babies will be pink with no fur, and their eyes will be closed. The mother will keep them warm and nurse them for about 2 months before they are ready to start climbing and venture out of the nest. Even then, she will help them gather food for approximately one more month until they are ready to leave her and build their own nests. Once they leave in the spring, she will rest for a few weeks and then signal again that she is fertile. Males will chase her and the cycle will start again. Giving birth to a new litter in the summer months will allow her enough time to nurse them as they grow fur and become independent for the coming winter season.
American red squirrels have their babies in the nests in late spring or early summer. They usually have 3-6 babies at a time, but can have up to 8 in one litter. They also will nurse their babies for about two months and then might or might not have a second litter before winter. Red squirrels in northern states tend to not have another litter later in the year to better protect potential young from a harsh winter. Their counterparts in southern states will have a second litter as the winters of their environment are less severe.
Fox squirrels give birth in the later part of February or during the first week of March. They can have 2-7 babies with most litters only being about 2-4 in number. They nurse their young in their nests for the typical 2-month period but then do not have another litter until the next year.
Flying squirrels have 2-7 babies twice per year. They bear the first litter in late spring or early summer and the second in early autumn. Most litters are made up of 2, 3, or 4 little ones that they will raise for two months.
Ground squirrels are the most prolific breeders. They usually have 7 or 8 babies at one time but can have as many as 15. Their numbers are controlled by the fact that they only breed once per year in late winter or early spring.
Baby squirrels are utterly helpless during the first 4-6 weeks of their life. The mother will spend her time nursing them every 3-4 hours, grooming them, keeping them warm, gathering her own food, and ensuring that the nest is safe from predators and human activity. She will often build a second nest in case of danger and carry the young one by one to a new location if she senses a problem.
How Many Babies Can a Squirrel Have?
A squirrel reaches sexual maturity at 10-12 months. At this age, the males and females are fertile and can begin mating. A female, however, will not have more than one litter the first year of her adult life. When she is two years old, a female will have two litters per year if her species follows a semi-annual breeding pattern.
Squirrels typically live 2-3 years but can live up to 10 years. If a female squirrel has an average of 3 babies at a time, twice per year except for the first year, that means that each squirrel will have 6-54 babies in her lifetime. Fox squirrels and American red squirrels that only breed once per year will have half this many (3-27). Ground squirrels could have 7-80 based on their average litter size. That's a lot of squirrels!
To sum up what we've learned, here are some general facts to remember.
Squirrels breed once or twice per year.
They mate in the early spring, and some breed again in the summer.
Squirrels are pregnant for 25-45 days.
They have their babies in nests in trees or in holes in the ground.
The babies do not have any fur, can't open their open eyes, and can walk for about a month.
The mother takes care of the baby squirrels by herself for three months.
Female squirrels have one litter their first year and usually two after that for up to 10 years.
Most squirrels have 3 or 4 babies at a time, but Ground squirrels have 7 or 8.

Q: The Truth probability It is believed that the opponent in the discussion can not be more than 90% wrong ...
And that you yourself can never be more than 90% right ...
What is the minimum percentage probability of truth (or lack thereof) in the discussions?
Thanks

A: Fun question. I assume what is meant is:

*

*At most $90\%$ of your opponent's statements are false.
(Thus, at least $10\%$ are true.)

*At most $90\%$ of your statements are true.
Also, every statement is either true or false, and not both. And you both make approximately the same number of statements.
Then: what is the minimum possible percentage of true statements and maximum possible percentage of true statements?
The minimum percentage is when $0\%$ of your statements are true and $10\%$ of your opponent's are true. In this case, overall, only $5$ percent of all statements are true.
The maximum percentage is when $90\%$ of your statements are true and $100\%$ of your opponent's are true. In this case, overall, $95$ percent of all statements are true.
So we have between $5$ and $95$ percent of statements are true. The wide range is due to the fact that both of your requirements were relatively loose requirements, and only bounded the number of true or false statements on one side.
Addendum. If we don't assume that you and your opponent make the same number of statements, then the minimum is $0$ percent and the maximum is $100$ percent. The minimum is when only you talk, and you only make false statements. The maximum is when only your opponent talks, and she only makes true statements.
