How do you make a rabbit molt?
How often do your rabbits molt? Once a year, twice? Three times? I hope not. Molting is the normal process of changing a coat when the old one has lived out its term. Molting is a good thing at the right times, because it keeps a rabbit's fur fresh and clean. However, a rabbit in molt will not have good show condition, so molting can cause problems. Some people seem to struggle with rabbits that are always in molt, but I've had more of a problem with rabbits hanging on to their dead coats for months, as if retro-wear was in fashion. Thankfully, there are things you can do to help both situations.
Did you know that the rate of growth of a rabbit's hair is linked to its metabolism? Perhaps this is why babies, which use a lot of energy, can grow a lengthy coat in three weeks. If your rabbit's coat has gone stiff and dead but seems reluctant to let go, you can speed up the process and get your bunny in show condition faster by increasing the protein or energy in your feed. A simple way to do this is throw a palm full of calf-manna in your rabbit's feed every day. You can keep your rabbit on high protein/high energy feeds until the new coat is just about primed—then cut the conditioners. Once the rabbit has its show coat, you want it to keep it as long as possible. Diets with high fiber take longer to digest and make the metabolism slow down. Abundant timothy or grass hay is an important part of a show rabbit's diet: not only is hay high in fiber, but rabbits with hay to play with seem less inclined to chew on their own or their neighbor's coats.
Temperature also plays a role in your rabbit's coat growth. If it is cold out and you'd like to force a molt, try moving your rabbit to a heated area for two weeks, along with the energy supplement. Cool dry weather is better for growing and holding a thick clean show coat.
Genetics definitely has an impact on your rabbits' molting patterns. Some rabbits will lose a few hairs at a time, while others will blow a coat all at once. Select for the rabbits that hold a show coat a high percentage of the year.
Rabbit owners sometimes complain of their rabbits "always molting." If you dig deeper into these situations, you often find that they are frequently switching feeds, or feeding a diet that is too high in energy and too low in fiber. Buying Feed Brand A one week and Feed Brand B another week is never a good deal; it will wreak havoc with your rabbits' coats and conditions. Rabbits require fresh and consistent diets with plenty of fiber to keep them eating regularly and keep quality in their coats.
I'm afraid the fur won't grow back all the way within a week, no matter what you do. But simply keeping your bunny in a clean cage is the best way to make sure he stays in good condition.
If the spot is small, it may not affect his performance on the show table very much.
Once your rabbit has reached show condition, cut the high energy feeds so it will hold it.

For decades, the United States Postal Service (USPS) has maintained the narrative that the organization provides workers the opportunity to make a decent wage and receive full benefits, union protection, and a pension to provide support through retirement all while serving the broader public. In reality, the USPS has been in a process of gradual breakdown, facing constant pressure from the federal government and private competitors to reduce operating costs. The result has been austerity measures, degradation of working conditions, reduction of wages, gutting of employee benefit programs, and the slow death agony of a public service that reaches every community within the United States.
In April 2018, Donald Trump announced the formation of a task force whose purpose was to evaluate the Postal Service for a drastic overhaul, stating that even full privatization would not be off the table. Early last December, the Treasury Department released a 70-page proposal, which focuses heavily on reducing costs. Citing "personnel compensation" as a major issue, it suggests wages should be lowered to a level comparable to that of market competitors like FedEx. The report goes so far as to consider barring postal workers from the right to bargain collectively for wages and removing the Postal Service's historic mandate to provide universal public service. These measures would plunge thousands of workers to the edge of poverty and deprive working class communities of necessary services.
Through all of this, the four postal unions—the American Postal Workers Union (APWU), the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC), the National Postal Mail Handlers Union (NPMHU), and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association (NRLCA)—have either remained silent or occasionally feigned opposition while ultimately capitulating to the wishes of management. Once organizations that fought for workers' interests, the unions have deteriorated into hollow husks and bureaucratized businesses that suppress the unity and strength of workers. The national officers of the unions receive compensation in the triple-figure range, which puts them in a completely different universe than the workers who sort and deliver the mail for a living.
With workers separated by craft and within each job designation, workers get varied pay rates, benefits, paid holidays, protections, etc. Their voices are divided, and workers are turned against each other as the unions are more concerned with protecting the work under their jurisdiction and securing dues money rather than fighting for workers. Jurisdictional squabbles extend from the union bureaucrats who spend much of their time enforcing jurisdictional rules, to the work floor where individual workers feel forced to protect their hours from being taken by a worker in another craft.
These union leaders have allowed the adoption of practices that are detrimental to the lives and well-being of USPS workers. This includes abandoning the right to strike and implementing a Kafkaesque system of different tiers that dictates the compensation and amount of work available based on what arbitrary category you fall into.
The tiers are structured as follows: Career, Non-career, and Casual, with the Career tier further broken down to FTR, PTR, PTF, and NTFT positions. These translate to Full-Time Regular, Part-Time Regular, Part-Time Flexible and Non-Traditional Full-Time.
Although workers within every category partake in almost identical work duties, each gets different pay and benefit compensation and a different number of guaranteed hours. The designations of "part-time" and "full-time" have nothing to do with hours worked, but only the different wages and benefits they receive. Full-time employees are typically not worked over 40 hours and are given 2 days off a week, while part-time employees are worked 6+ days in a row, sometimes up to 14 straight days, typically working between 30 and 50 hours a week with only one day of rest.
Casual employees are hired on a temporary basis and generally for far fewer hours. They are given either a full-time work schedule for a fixed period (followed by removal from the position) or a permanent position that provides very few hours of work. This can be as little as two hours a day. Casuals also do not receive benefits and have no means of advancement.
Non-career employees do not receive the benefits career employees do. That means stripping them of a pension fund, sick leave, work guarantees, and federal health insurance. They are also provided a significantly lower wage for the same job. Many non-career employees serve as full-time employees for years or even decades before conversion to full-time positions, if they see that at all. Non-career work guarantees range from two to four hours or one work day a week, which is not a concession but an insult.
As a PSE/SSA (Postal Support Employee/Sales and Service Associate, which is a non-career clerk craft), I pay more in union dues than I do in state taxes. My shift-start times fluctuate from 2 a.m., 6 a.m., 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 2 p.m., on any day of the week. Sometimes I have very little time between two shifts. I've been forced to sleep parked in my car when given only a few hours between shifts just so I can make it in with at least some rest. Equipment is often damaged and unsafe, and the workplace is home to health risks like asbestos and lead.
Relations between workers and management can become tense, with verbal arguments breaking out on the work floor periodically. I've witnessed workers face vicious retaliation for standing up for their contracted rights.
The USPS employs around 644,000 workers who have complete control over the day-to-day operations of the flow of mail within the country. This is why the bourgeoisie and their union hacks want to divide and stifle our voices. We are employed in plants and offices in virtually every community in the country. Our struggles are closely tied with other logistics and shipping workers, like FedEx, UPS and Amazon workers, as well as postal workers of other nations.
There is no solution to our strife within the framework of the unions. If workers want change, they must organize independently of the union bureaucracy and combine all the different crafts and tiers into rank-and-file committees seeking to unite postal workers across the country and internationally. We need a voice that will defend the interests of all workers, the working class as a whole.
I urge all workers to support the Socialist Equality Party and work to form these committees in their workplace. They will become the organs of struggle necessary to assert workers' power and socialism in the days and years ahead.


(Bloomberg) -- Venezuela's state-run oil company said it transferred the funds to make an $842 million principal payment on its bonds due Friday, overcoming the first of many hurdles the country will face in coming days as it seeks to avoid sinking into default.
The announcement spread a sense of relief to investors in the bond market, who drove up Venezuelan asset prices across the board Friday. A second big payment is due Nov. 2, and the country's decision to disburse the cash for today's payment indicates that it likely intends to meet that one too.
But plenty of obstacles remain, including the immediate challenge of ensuring that the cash makes it all the way into the accounts of creditors. In recent weeks, Venezuelan officials told investors that less-critical interest payments have gotten held up in the payment chain because U.S. sanctions on the government scared many international banks into refusing to take part in the cash transfers.
While Petroleos de Venezuela SA said it made the principal payment on amortizing notes due 2020, there was no reference to the $107 million of interest due at the same time. The company and government have been using grace periods on more than half a billion dollars of such payments due this month, but the principal amount Friday had no such buffer. It's next big challenge is the additional $1.2 billion owed on notes maturing next week.
A default for PDVSA could have potentially been disastrous at a time when access to credit has already been severely curtailed, refineries are running at less than half of their capacity and oil output has tanked to less than 2 million barrels a day. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has insisted that his government will continue to honor its international obligations even as he curbs imports to save cash for debt payments, causing shortages of goods to worsen in a nation already suffering a deep recession and hyperinflation.
PDVSA "confirms its full solvency and capacity to fulfill its commitments, despite the economic war and the imposition of unjustified sanctions from Donald Trump," the oil firm said in its statement.
The notes due 2020 jumped 3.5 cents to 85 cents on the dollar as of 12:27 p.m. in New York, while the securities due next week climbed to a three-year high of 95.8 cents. Sovereign bonds due in 2027 leaped 9.6 percent to 36.9 cents on the dollar.
To be sure, there are plenty of Venezuela watchers -- including economists such as Ricardo Hausmann -- who have been urging the government to stop payments. They say the debt load is unsustainable, and sending dollars to foreign investors while cutting back on imports of food, medicine and basic goods for the Venezuelan people is immoral.
The government and PDVSA will owe international creditors $10 billion in bond payments next year and $14 billion in 2019, according to Capital Economics. International reserves have sunk to a 15-year low near $10 billion.
"It remains a question of when -- not if -- PDVSA and the government default," analysts at the research firm said in a note Friday.
If PDVSA makes the pending payments through next week, Venezuela should have a smooth ride until its next hefty chunk of payments come due in April 2018, according to Jan Dehn, the head of research at London-based Ashmore Group Plc, which oversees about $58 billion of assets and is the largest reported holder of PDVSA's 2020 and 2017 bonds.
"They were saving up to make these very large payments," he said.

—Coach Todd Haley on his team's performance in losing at Indianapolis last Sunday.
Maybe Todd Haley is too content with his team's play.
Playing not to lose. Squandering your QB's best performance in a Kansas City Chiefs uniform.
The Chiefs offense opened the door for a victory to enter in, however, the defense could not close the door shut on a win, Texans comeback in Reliant Stadium on Sunday. The Chiefs blew a 31-21 lead in the fourth quarter, in a game which the offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage. Cassel threw three touchdowns, the run game produced 228 yards on the ground, and everything looked good. Until the defense choked.
Dwayne Bowe actually had an excellent performance. I was thinking, boy, if he's having himself a game, the Chiefs are a lock to win. He was the key missing ingredient to the formula, a.k.a the Chiefs aerial attack. The run game was going full steam, the pass game was finally clicking, but something was missing. All was well, right? That was until the defense was forced to make a crucial stop.
When put into the position, they couldn't. They didn't. They wouldn't. Whatever it was, whoever was to blame, the bottom line was this: the Chiefs defense failed. After taking the lead following a Cassel to Bowe 42-yard score, the Texans set up shop at their own 34. It took three plays to cut the lead to 21-14. Derrick Ward hit the end zone running on a 38-yard scamper, in which he broke several would be arm-tacklers from the Kansas City defense. It was a sign of things to come for Crennel's crew.
Fast forward to the latter part of the 3rd quarter with the Chiefs up 24-14 after a Succop 24-yarder. 4th & 1 for the Texans on the Chiefs 37. Schaub made a throw that changed the momentum and whole complexity of the game. He dropped back, and then located Owen Daniels for 9 yards and a first down to the Kansas City 28. More importantly, he put the Texans in control of the game. By that I mean, his completion turned the game around from a "Chiefs in control game" to an old wild, wild West shootout type of a game. Despite Cassel's theatrics earlier in the game, this was not what the Chiefs, defense wanted to get into. Even with a talented secondary, if it got into "shootout mode", the Chiefs could not win the game. Entering the the game I was more confident in the secondary than I was in Matt Cassel. Now, exiting the game, I am more confident in the QB than I am the defensive backfield. Not good considering your best shot of winning the AFC West is with a bend, but don't break defense and a solid ground game; not reliant upon a high-scoring aerial attack.
Following that 4th down conversion, the Texans went on to score their first of three touchdowns in the game's final quarter. 15 minutes, 21 points. The Chiefs defense played could have been likened to its head coach's beat after the 19-9 loss to the Colts last week. They played to the tune of his "content-like" mentality. It was a game where the Chiefs could have shed that label, and really emerge and solidify their status as a legitimate contender. Now after the 35-31 loss, we don't know what to label them as. Their contender status could be summed up in one word: content. Content, because that's the how their defense played with the lead in the 4th quarter. In essence, playing not to lose translates into: playing not to win. Following the lead of the coach.
Contentment doesn't win you the AFC West, Todd.
@Nate – You're way off… The problem with sports fans is that they NEVER want to hear the areas their team needs improvement when they are winning… And when they are losing, they NEVER want to hear about any small positives.
Smaller blogs tend to take a realistic approach to writing blog posts.
If you want all sunshine and rainbows, go over to SB Nation or read Josh Looney's blog on the Chiefs official website… But also read the smaller blogs, who are more likely to tell it how it really is and not solely protect and defend the team with everything they write.
Nathan is right on the mark. Yes, our D cost us that game for the poor play in the forth. The reason why Todd says we are a transitioning team is because of how young and inexperience the team is. There were alot of positives in that game even though we lost. To say our team reflects our head coaches attitude with not tryin to win is BS. And it doesn't look like Nate is upset that the team needs to improve Travis, he simply says this team is young and is going to have inconsistanceys.
Hey Nate, the playing not to lose, not to win part was directed strictly towards the defense not the offense. I applaud the offense's performance.
I love the Chiefs. Obviously you haven't read my other posts. It was just too frustrating to see them blow a game they played so well.
It was very frustrating to see the Chiefs blow a big lead. BUT, I do see so much improvement in our play that it's hard to get down too much. The defense's meltdown was definitely a flashback to the Chiefs of the last few years, but the improvement in offense and the play of the defense in the first five games is a VAST improvement. So I can see where Hailey is coming from, and I believe his plan is working.

Jon Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg Warned Us About Donald Trump Years Ago, But We Didn't Listen
By Jamilah King
Donald Trump is closer than ever to capturing the Republican presidential nomination. Voters will be heading to the polls in key states, including Florida, Ohio and Missouri, on Mega Tuesday, and when it's all said and done, Trump could emerge atop the once crowded GOP field of contenders.
It's a frightening prospect for Americans who are appalled by his bigoted rhetoric and the violence he's egged on at his campaign rallies. But, as Slate's Jamelle Bouie presciently wrote in an article published Sunday, Trump's rise represents a rebuke of Barack Obama's presidency — and a return to white majority politics.
"Not only does he lead a movement of almost exclusively disaffected whites," Bouie wrote, "but he wins his strongest support in states and counties with the greatest amounts of racial polarization."
That said, Trump is no newcomer. He's been floating around the fringes of presidential politics for nearly 30 years. And he's been spouting the same racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric all that time. When he ran for president four years ago, plenty of big names blasted his racist, anti-immigrant rhetoric. Here are a few:
Gary Gershoff/Getty Images
The former Daily Show host took Trump to task after he started the whole birther fiasco, pointing out in 2011 that even Michele Bachman and Bill O'Reilly had even come to Obama's defense. "Today's tale of principle behavior," Stewart said on the show, "starts with professional meglomaniac Donald Trump." Watch the video here.
Chris Pizzello/AP
Trump's birther claims smacked of "dog-whistled racism," the New York Daily News wrote in 2011. "I'm getting tired of trying to find reasons not to think of stuff as being racist," Goldberg told the newspaper about Trump's defense against charges of racism at the time. "Being black, when you say, 'You know, this is racist,' 9,000 people say, 'Oh, no, you're just playing the race card.' Well, you know what? I'm playing the damn card now."
Allen Roskoff, gay activist
Bennett Raglin/Getty Images
Roskoff has spent decades protesting injustices to LGBT communities, but he leveled some of his most pointed criticism at Trump in 2011. "He's an extreme bigot," Roskoff told the Daily News. "Not only should gays be furious, we should be boycotting the products of the advertisers on his TV show and certainly boycotting his casinos and hotels and apartment buildings."
CBS Photo Archive/Getty Images
The former Late Show host didn't hold back in 2011 when Dr. Phil asked what he thought of Trump. Letterman said Trump's birther comments "smack of racism."
"Nobody should be amused by that tactic," Letterman said.
Michael Eric Dyson, African-American scholar
J. Countess/Getty Images
Dyson has been a close observer of Obama's presidency, and wrote early on about the racist opposition to his time in office. When Trump first began floating his birther conspiracies about Obama, Dyson, on the Sunday talk show Face the Nation in 2011, called it "racism by inference."
"Skepticism about black intelligence and suspicion about black humanity have gone hand in hand throughout the history of this country in feeding the perception that black people don't quite measure up," he said.
Another election year, another run for Trump. But this time, everyone is listening.

Have three students up front. Fill a baby diaper (preferably Huggies) with chocolate pudding. When you say go, the student lick/eat the chocolate pudding out of the diaper with their hands behind their back. The first one done wins. A twist on this one is to have gummy worms hidden in the pudding, then have the contestants pull out all the gummy worms from the pudding. Be ready for a messy clean up.


The odds in favor of Republican Rep. Greg Ganske unseating Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin in Iowa may be improving, as the result of an unfolding scandal and purported cover-up involving the Harkin campaign.
"And like most political disasters, the cover-up is becoming more important than the original transgression," said Kayne Robinson, former Iowa Republican Party chairman.
The original transgression took place Sept. 3, when 53-year-old businessman Brian Conley by his own admission secretly taped a Ganske campaign strategy session. Mr. Conley, a former Harkin staffer, gave a transcript of the meeting to Mr. Harkin's campaign, which then released it to the press.
This was followed by Harkin campaign denials, then admissions of guilt and the firing of the Harkin campaign manager and a 21-year-old campaign staffer. Now county and federal authorities are investigating the matter.
Sources close to the investigation said Mr. Conley has sought immunity in exchange for revealing what he knows. But the county prosecutor's office said it has given immunity in only one case, a murder trial. Republicans fear the county prosecutor, a Democrat, has little incentive to find criminal wrongdoing in the case.
"For Republicans, Tom Harkin is the most hated Democrat in Iowa, but you have some Republicans so upset with Ganske they just throw up their hands," said a national Republican official who lives in Iowa. "Ganske got on crosswise with his conservative base, has a mixed record on guns and abortion, and supported campaign-finance reform."
Other Republican officials say Mr. Ganske has campaigned hard and that the scandal is making the race even more competitive. But it will not be a slam-dunk for Republicans in November unless it can be shown Mr. Harkin was part of the original taping plot, or of what Republicans are now calling a "cover-up" by the Harkin campaign.
"This Conley guy's connection was not to the campaign but directly to Harkin," said Marlys Popma, the Iowa Republican Party executive director. "He was a Harkin staffer in 1974, and for anybody to think something like this could have gone on without Harkin knowing is naive."
State Rep. Chuck Larson, who is also the Iowa Republican Party chairman, says that while campaign dirty tricks may not shock voters in states with large urban populations, Iowa voters tend to take cheating seriously, especially if laws are broken in the process.
So far, however, the scandal does not appear to have hurt Mr. Harkin, except to throw him off message and put his campaign on the defensive. A four-day Des Moines Register poll of 805 likely voters, initiated the day after the taping scandal broke, found Mr. Ganske still trailing Mr. Harkin by 20 percentage points, about the same margin as in a June poll.
A Sept. 18-19 poll by a Republican firm of 400 likely voters, however, had Mr. Harkin ahead by only four percentage points, and actually behind Mr. Ganske among voters 65 and older.
Republicans say cover-up revelations could still make the contest more competitive, especially as voters become more aware of possible criminal implications.
Under Iowa and federal law, it is a crime to intercept a private conversation for purposes of injuring someone, and in this case, Republicans say the Ganske campaign clearly was injured.
The tape transcript portrays Mr. Ganske as a negative campaigner, quotes him accusing a wire-service reporter of bias and reveals planned campaign themes.
Some Republican officials say voters will understand that the taping couldn't have taken place without the knowledge or direction of Mr. Harkin.
"The keeper of all secrets is Tom Harkin, and that is where law enforcement has to go," said Mr. Larson. "Senator Harkin has tried to lead Iowans to believe that a 21-year-old staffer directed a 53-year-old corporate executive to change his voter registration from Democrat to Republican, make a $50 contribution to the Ganske campaign, and secretly tape a private Ganske strategy meeting and give the transcript to Harkin's campaign."
Mr. Larson continued: "When we started uncovering the scandal, we were met with lies and denials by the Harkin campaign, and only when we confronted them with concrete evidence did the Harkin campaign manager admit his campaign had received a transcription and distributed it to the press. And only when presented with evidence of collusion did Senator Harkin admit that a junior campaign staffer had orchestrated this political espionage."

Asynchronous notification "test1" received from server process with PID 8812.
I'm getting notification response successfully.
When I'm openinig two different psql sessions from one box, or from different boxes (it doesn't matter) and trying to do the same but from different consoles, "listening" console hangs when I'm trying to receive notification response.
Add two nodes in cluster. Configure streaming replication between them.
that's it. It hangs forever after this command.
When both nodes are up and with running replication, if I disconnect first node (id=0), secondary node become primary node and if it's the only one alive node in cluster => LISTEN/NOTIFY works as expected. Until I return first node (id=0) back in cluster.
When first node is back - listening console is about to hang again.
Sorry, forgot to say that it's last recent 3.2.1 version.
Ok, I think I fixed the problem. Could you please try attached patches?
+	 * other backends will not receive the message.
+	 * So we should skip other nodes otherwise we will hung in pool_read.
+		 * other backends will not receive the message.
+		 * So we should skip other nodes otherwise we will hung in pool_read.
thank you very much! After patching LISTEN/NOTIFY works in our staging environment. In the beginning of next week we'll put it into production. I'll let you know about the result.
Looks like something is still not working properly. Probably I was mistaken somewhere in my experiments in staging environment when I was saying that it works.
Asynchronous notification "test1" received from server process with PID 28610.
2. Conditions the same. 2 SQL nodes Up and running. Mester id=1, slave=0.
It seems to me a bit strange, but probably I just misunderstanding something.
Please tell me if I can provide any other information to help troubleshooting this.
> After patch, second (listening) psql console is not hanging up after receiving notification. It do continue functioning, but there is not even sign of received notification.
I confirmed this part happens only when primary is 1 and standby is 0. It seems there are some places where pgpool assumes that node 0 is primary. Will fix.
Ok, attached (listen_notify-v2.patch) is a revised patch. Please try it.
+		 * extract retrieve pending data from buffer stack if any.
* If we are prcessing query, process it.
+										 * In replication mode, NOTIFY is sent to all backends.
+										 * is not necessarily the master first and then slaves.
+										 * rather than just discard it.
+			 * ('A') from one of backends prior to "ready for query"
+			 * stack buffer so that we could retrieve it later on.
-	 * No query context exists. Returns master node id in private buffer.
+	 * which represents the last REAL_MASTER_NODE_ID.
+ * pool_push: Push data into buffer stack.
Sorry for delay, we were having NY holidays.
I checked listen_notify-v2.patch in staging environment and looks like it works as expected after patch. I'll do a couple of additional tests and will reply shortly to confirm that everything works.
looks like last recent patch (listen_notify-v2.patch) completely resolved this issue.
Bug can be considered as resolved with this patch.
Thanks! I have committed the patch to master and V3.2 stable tree.

Conrad Murray Trial, Day 10: Coroner's Examiner Questions Doctor's Story – Update 2
Man who declared Jackson's death a homicide says it's highly unlikely that the singer could have self-administered the fatal propofol dose
Kimberly Potts and Tim Kenneally | October 11, 2011 @ 6:26 AM
The involuntary manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray provided plenty of accusations all around Tuesday. Dr. Christopher Rogers, who initially deemed Michael Jackson's death a homicide, questioned Murray's assertion that Jackson could have dosed himself with propofol while under the influence of an anesthetic. Meanwhile, the court heard the conclusion of Conrad Murray's interview with cops, during which Murray told police that Jackson visited Dr. Arnold Klein three times a week, and would emerge from the visits "basically wasted."
Lots of pointed fingers, but where is it all heading? Time will tell. Until then, point your finger toward your mouse, scroll down, and read our full account of Tuesday's court proceedings.
Update, 12:21 PT:
Dr. Christopher Rogers, the deputy medical examiner of the Los Angeles Coroner's Office who deemed Michael Jackson's death a homicide, took the stand during Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial Tuesday and questioned Murray's account of the events that preceded Jackson's death.
Rogers (pictured) called into question Murray's statement to police that Jackson administered the fatal dose of propofol to himself and stopped breathing during a two-minute bathroom break that Murray took after administering an initial dose of the drug to the singer.
"In order for Mr. Jackson to administer the propofol to himself, you would have to assume that Mr. Jackson woke up, although he was at least to some extent under the influence [of propofol and other sedatives], he was somehow able to administer propofol to himself," Rogers told the court.
Combined with the amount of time it would take for the propofol to circulate to Jackson's brain, "all of this in two minutes," Roger's noted, Murray's explanation of events is unlikely.
"To me, that scenario seems less reasonable" than other explanations, Rogers said.
Rogers also questioned the wisdom of Murray administering propofol to treat Jackson's insomnia.
"The problem that Mr. Jackson was having was that he couldn't sleep, and it's not appropriate to give a patient propofol in that situation," Rogers testified. "The risk outweighs the benefit."
The coroner's office employee also noted that the home setting for the administering of propofol — with no EKG monitor, no precision dosing device, and inadequate resuscitation equipment — was far from ideal.
Regarding Jackson's overall heath, Rogers testified that the singer appeared to be in good shape, with a body-mass index within the normal range (albeit on the thin side), no signs of heart disease, and no atherosclerosis in his coronary arteries despite that being a common condition for people Jackson's age.
Rogers also noted that there was no white, milky substance in Jackson's esophagus or stomach — suggesting that, even if Jackson did manage to self-administer the fatal dose of proposal, he didn't do so orally.
Update 10:50 p.m.
Defense attorney Ed Chernoff is interviewing Los Angeles police detective Scott Smith about the investigation at Michael Jackson's house after MJ's death. Just before Judge Michael Pastor called for the morning break, Chernoff questioned Smith about how the house was left open, meaning anyone could have gone in and disturbed potential evidence.
Day 10 of the trial kicked off with the rest of the tape of Conrad Murray's interview with cops, taped two days after Jackson's death.
Among the revelations in the approximately 45-minute long playback:
– Murray had been told by various members of Jackson's production team that after Jackson made thrice-weekly visits to Dr. Arnold Klein's office in Beverly Hills, he would be "basically wasted" and need 24 hours to recover.
– Murray had treated many health conditions for Jackson, including painful foot callouses that had built up from years of Jackson's dance performances, and an eye condition which left Murray wondering if Jackson was "legally blind."
– Murray on how Paris Jackson, MJ's daughter, reacted to her father's death: "I will wake up in the morning, and I won't be able to see my daddy."
– Murray was concerned about how Jackson's mother, Katherine, would take the news of her son's death, especially because she has a heart condition.
– Joe Jackson, Michael Jackson's father, did not show up at the hospital with the rest of the family after MJ had been taken to the emergency room.
– Jackson's children asked to see their father's body after being told he died; Murray said he asked hospital staff to make the body as presentable as possible so as to disturb the children as little as possible.
Previously …
As Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial begins its third week today, jurors will hear Murray tell police about another doctor he says was giving Michael Jackson drugs and about how devastated Jackson's children were after the singer's death.
The tape of the final 45 minutes of Murray's two-hour interview with Los Angeles police investigators is expected at the start of the proceedings on Tuesday. The interview took place on June 27, 2009, two days after Jackson's death.

CNN.com reports that Tuesday's portion of the interview will include Murray's assertion that he didn't know Jackson was taking medications from other doctors, but that he had "heard" Jackson was seeing Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein three times a week.
Murray said he'd been told Jackson would return from those visits to Klein "basically wasted" and requiring "24 hours for recovery."
Murray's attorney, Ed Chernoff, suggested in his opening statement that Jackson was addicted to the pain reliever Demerol, and that it was given to him by Klein. The defense theory is that Jackson had trouble sleeping because he was experiencing withdrawal from the Demerol, and that Murray gave the singer propofol to help him sleep and be ready to rehearse for his planned comeback concert performances.

The Los Angeles County coroner ruled Jackson died of "acute propofol intoxication," and that sedatives were also a factor. Prosecutors contend Murray is criminally liable for Jackson's death because he recklessly administered the propofol, a potent surgical anesthetic drug, and did not properly monitoring Jackson.
Also in Tuesday's recording — which will likely be the only time jurors hear Murray's version of events, since his lawyers do not plan to put him on the witness stand — Murray will talk about how Jackson's children reacted to his death.
"After they cried and cried and cried, then his daughter uttered a lot of words of unhappiness and, you know, she will live alone without her dad and she didn't want to be an orphan," Murray said of Jackson's daughter, Paris.

"She asked me, 'Dr. Murray, you said you save a lot of patients. You know, you save people with heart attacks, and you couldn't save my dad,'" Murray said in the interview. "I said, 'I tried my best.' And she said, 'I know that, Dr. Murray. At least I know. I know you tried your best. I know you tried your best, but I'm really sad. You know, I will wake up in the morning, and I won't be able to see my daddy.'"
On Friday, jurors heard the first portion of the interview, in which Murray said he left Jackson for just two minutes before returning to find his client wasn't breathing. Cell phone records and previous testimony indicate Murray was making calls and sending and receiving e-mails and text messages for at least 30 minutes before Jackson died.
Jurors also heard Murray explain that he didn't immediately call 911 because he was trying to resuscitate the superstar.
Murray faces up to four years in prison and loss of his medical license if convicted.

Home U.S. Joe Biden PRAGNS two infamous segregationist senators who say & # 39;...
Joe Biden PRAGNS two infamous segregationist senators who say & # 39; at least there was some politeness & # 39;
Democratic presidential candidates demanded immediate apology from vice president Joe Biden after summoning two segregationist former senators as part of a call to cooperate with the opposition.
New York Sen. Cory Booker, who, like Biden, is looking for the Democratic presidential election, has also destroyed Biden's strange comment that former Sen. James Eastland of Mississippi never called me a boy.
& # 39; You're not kidding about calling black male boys, & # 39; Booker said in a statement on Wednesday, after Biden & # 39; s comments were in circulation in a hotel in New York.
& # 39; Men like James O. Eastland used such words and the racist policies that accompanied them to perpetuate the white supremacy and poach black Americans of our own humanity, & # 39; Booker continued.
Vice President Joe Biden called for two senetics for segregation when he denounced his ability to work with opponents and led supporters of the Democrats to apply for an apology
& # 39; Vice President Biden's relationship with proud segregationists is not the model for how we can make America a safer and more inclusive place for black people and for everyone. I have to tell Vice President Biden, as someone I respect, that he is wrong to use his relations with Eastland and Talmadge as examples of how we can bring our country together, & # 39; Booker, who is black, went on before he demanded an apology.
& # 39; And to be honest, I am disappointed that he did not immediately express an apology for the pain that his words are driving up for many Americans. He should. & # 39;
Also pounding was Biden New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, a presidential candidate whose wife, Chirland McCray, is African-American.
In a tweet with a photo of his interracial family, de Blasio wrote: & # 39; It & # 39; s 2019 & @JoeBiden longing for the good old days of & # 39; politeness & # 39 ;, typified by James Eastland. Eastland thought that my multiracial family would be illegal and that whites were entitled to "the pursuit of dead n * ggers," he wrote in the first of a few tweets.
& # 39; It is past time for apologies or evolution of @JoeBiden. He repeatedly demonstrates that he is inconsistent with the values of the modern Democratic Party & # 39 ;, continued the Blasio.
Biden praised the cooperation and cordiality of a bygone era during a New York fundraiser Tuesday – including with recognized segegationists who participated in civil rights legislation in the Senate.
Biden, speaking to a fundraiser at the Carlyle hotel in Manhattan, confirmed his commitment to working with Republicans and opposition members – then bizarrely emphasized his time by working with fellow Democrats who spent decades in the Senate and participated in the fight. desegregation efforts.
& # 39; I was in a meeting with James O. Eastland, & # 39; said Biden about the Mississippi senator, expressing the southern appeal of Eastland.
& # 39; He never called me boy, he always called me son, & # 39; said Biden, who influenced a southern sign, according to a polar reporter who was there.
Biden also brought Georgia Sen. Herman Talmadge, who appreciated Eastland's segregation and owned a plantation in his own country.
Biden told a story about how Senator James Eastland of Mississippi never called me a boy, he always called me a son & # 39;
Biden called Senator Herman E. Talmadge (D-Ga.) One of the & # 39; meanest & # 39; but also said that in previous decades there was & # 39; courtesy & # 39; in the senate
Biden referred to & # 39; a man like Herman Talmadge, one of the meanest guys I ever knew, you throw down the list of all these guys. Well guess what? At least there was some politeness. We did things, & Biden said.
& # 39; We disagreed on much of everything. We have done things. We finished it. But today you look to the other side and you are the enemy. Not the opposition, the enemy. We no longer talk to each other & # 39 ;, said Biden.
The vice president has previously stressed that he is able to win votes in Delaware, a state with a mix of urban and rural populations and a complicated history on race and civil rights issues.
Biden made the comments as a way to emphasize the need to reach consensus within our system & # 39; – but ended up pointing out one of the most divisive political struggles in the nation's history.
Biden spent decades in the Senate
Earlier this week, Biden spoke in the Poor People's Campaign about the racial history of his homeland.
& # 39; But my son Beau, before he died, he was the Attorney General. We were the only two Caucasian guys who won the downstate, as they say, and overwhelmingly won in the black community, & said Biden.
& # 39; We could not determine exactly which way we wanted to be in the civil war & # 39 ;, he said about a state with the eighth largest black population in the country, which is a history of slavery under the plantation system.
& # 39; With many poor people down there, those poor people – what they call & # 39; hanging chickens & # 39; in the chicken industry … most of them white, & # 39; he said, referring to jobs at the Delaware farm.
One of Biden & # 39; s democratic opponents, mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, responded to the comments.

I love quirky entrepreneurs. Mark Cuban, Richard Branson, Mark Zuckerberg, Sean Parker, Sara Blakely (the youngest self-made female billionaire EVER and graduate of The Florida State University...just sayin'). They may be a bit rough around the edges, perhaps a bit blunt, but I just really dig the confident, risk taking, go big/fail big attitude. I can accept some of the less desirable personality traits, just because I love reading their stories so much. I'm drawn to it.
Start-ups and small businesses frequently talk about being "agile," meaning they have a unique ability to quickly change directions and adapt their models to changing times, a luxury that many large businesses don't usually have. They have too much invested in a certain environment, or too much bureaucracy. Today, all industries are changing, and fast. Those that are able to embrace that change and harness it set themselves up for success.
This got me thinking about music therapy. Now this may seem counterintuitive, but stay with me. I got to thinking about music therapy as a start-up. A newcomer busting into the healthcare scene and flipping it on its head. The kind of quirky new face that makes the establishment raise an eyebrow and say "What on Earth are these guys up to?"
Now of course, music therapy isn't new. It's been an established field since the end of World War II. Nor is what we do that whacky. It's rather intuitive, actually. All we've done is standardize and research what people have been doing for thousands of years: used music to positively effect non-music outcomes.
But despite all that what we do is, admittedly, outside the box. We walk into hospitals with guitars and jingling, clanging canvas bags full of colorful instruments. We turn heads.
Not to mention, we are a tiny field in comparison to our allied health partners. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there are 123,200 speech language pathologists in the U.S. There are 198,600 physical therapists. 108,800 occupational therapists. I won't even get into the number of nurses, physicians, and the rest of the healthcare field. Music therapists? Well, as of this writing, the U.S. Department of Labor doesn't track music therapy individually as a field (though that is changing soon!). We're grouped with recreational therapists (which, with respect to recreational therapists, who have very important jobs, I take issue with. But that's a whole other blog post). But just using those numbers, there are 22,400 recreational therapists in the U.S. As you can imagine, music therapists make up a small portion of this already small demographic.
We want to get those numbers up. No doubt. But here's what I'm getting at: Music therapy is AGILE!
We're the out-of-the-box start-up that's challenging the way things are done. Most importantly of all, we're adapting to the changing times!
Those who follow the healthcare industry know that there are monumental shifts taking place right now. Healthcare is leading all industries in job growth. Most exciting of all, healthcare is seeing a shift in focus. Recent years have seen a renewed importance of patient satisfaction and patient-centered care.
Long gone are the days of cold physicians with no bedside manner barking orders at patients. That simply isn't going to fly anymore. People now have more choices than ever when it comes to their care, and they're choosing providers that treat them with the most care and compassion. They're choosing team-based approaches. They're choosing the hospitals with an out-of-the-box approach. Hospitals know that, and they're responding to it. How many billboards, radio ads, and twitter accounts for healthcare facilities do you now see spouting their short wait times, compassionate care, state-of-the-art facilities and amenities, all centered around YOU, the patient? I see it all the time.
If you're a music therapist, this should excite you. This should THRILL you! Why? Because music therapy has been shown to positively effect patient satisfaction levels with their general care (I'd love to link this one, I promise, but last I checked it's still in-press! Soon, readers, soon). Music therapy is precisely one of those unique, patient-centered approaches that healthcare facilities today would LOVE to advertise as a service their facility offers that others don't.
We're riding the wave, and it could not have come at a more perfect time. It's getting to a point where we don't have to walk into a healthcare administrator's office and explain what we do and beg for an opportunity to offer our services. They're seeking us out! They know what we do, and they want it. And that's awesome.
The healthcare field is changing. Perhaps faster than any other industry outside of technology (though some super exciting stuff is happening in healthcare technology!). Music therapy is the kind of field that is agile enough to play a big part in that. Music therapy is the field that takes an unconventional approach to some of the most pressing issues in healthcare today. We're the not-so-new newcomers bursting on stage and offering a irresistible service. Ride the wave, baby.
Ready to jump on that wave and get music therapy services at YOUR healthcare facility? The George Center is ready to provide you with out-of-this-world music therapy services that will set you apart from all the others! Get started today with our free consultation, and let's talk about how we can transform care for your patients TODAY.


the Gazette series and high street evolution pundit shares her views on what makes fantastic retail.
There's something very special about our high streets across Gloucestershire. I spend most of my working week reporting on the highs, and unfortunate lows, of our retail industry.
Part of the many reasons why I feel so lucky to have lived and worked in the Cotswolds over the past three decades, is the distinct identity that those people give each and every town.
It's a worrying time for our high streets and those who work in them I know, but what is remarkable is how the communities behind them are coming together to meet those demands, and changing tastes of the modern shopper.
No two towns are the same, each has worked hard to offer something a little different, and it's that individuality and passion that I believe will ensure their survival.
Because a visit to a Cotswold town can't be compared to a trip to a characterless retail park, it's an opportunity to experience something very special.
Take Stroud, nearly 40 years ago campaigners came together to save the town's main shopping streets after they became blighted by empty and derelict buildings.
Now nearly four decades later visitors on a Saturday can expect to be lost in the crowds keen to enjoy the award-winning farmers' market and the quirky independent shops – relishing the buzz of the famously creative and alternative town.
Fourteen Lifestyle in Kendrick Street is a particular favourite of mine, run by Denise Ballard the contents of the shop echo her personality – devilishly stylish, with a very naughty twinkle in her eye.
It's the perfect place to buy a thoughtful gift for that special someone, or to treat yourself to something you never knew you needed – until you saw it in Denise's shop and now you can't imagine your life without it.
Or Nailsworth, where small businesses recently battled plans to introduce parking charges to the town – a community who came together to passionately protect their vision for the pretty little leisure destination nestled in the five valleys. Of course they won.
My tip? If you are in town you must pop in to chat to Annabel and her business partner Sofia, they run Coco Confection, a treat of a sweet shop in the heart of the town.
Although they are only 19 and 20 years old their successful business clearly shows that when you open a shop in a Cotswold town, with hard work, commitment, and the backing of an incredible community – you can realise your dream.
And eat plenty of chocolate.
Their shelves are piled high with the most delicious treats their conscientious business choices and careful choice or packaging means that you can indulge yourself practically guilt-free.
Ah Painswick, Art Couture Painswick has famously transformed the streets into a place of wonder – a giant catwalk showcasing the best of art and fashion with a big dose of creativity in music and body art.
But the art shops, and galleries, tea rooms and boutique hotel that has redefined luxury are available all year round - every time I visit the town, which is often, it feels like I discover another secret gem.
After all of that discovering, admiring and exploring winding side streets I like to enjoy a well-deserved cup of tea and a slice of cake at 'The Painswick Pooch'.
Many will already be familiar with the pretty tearoom under its former name - The Patchwork Mouse - but the new owners wanted to make it perfectly clear that hounds were very welcome to join their humans for coffee and cake – hence the rename.
Pop in to give resident miniature schnauzer Poppy a quick cuddle after a hard afternoon of shopping, the high street business is the absolute embodiment of quirky Cotswold charm.
Every single one of these places has something very different to offer, they all contribute to the reputation that the Cotswolds has rightfully gained as a vibrant and diverse area of breath-taking beauty.
I'm rooting for them all, and I know that together we'll make sure that our high streets evolve - no flourish - to meet the changing tastes of our modern world.

Mental: Joffrey is a daydreamer this why sometimes he is in a daze during meetings etc.
Physical Skills: Joffrey is a novice to swordsmanship but he is better with a "sneak attack" with a dagger.
Social Skills: Joffrey can persuade others at an adept rate.
He sent his uncle Edric to kill 100 men and he returned with only a cut on his cheek.
Joffrey can be kind and thoughtful. But he also tries to strike fear into his enemies.
History: Joffrey was heir of Vernan II and 1st born son but 2nd born child. His father was strict on him saying brains is stronger than bronze. Later at the age of 5 he left Lannishall to go with his father to secure the area from bandits.
It was a tough time of a year for him but the bandits attacked their camp. The guards killed of some of the bandits the others burned in the fire they set. But his father... their leader put a blade through his heart. Ethan Grabbed a Dagger and lunged it through the bandits neck.
Later he returned home learning news that his mother had a male baby and named him Edric. At the age of 14 he named his uncle his Lord Commander of his army.
"Nephew hello." Ethan entered the room smirking. "What is so amusing uncle?" Joffrey asked. "Come, come nephew I have something to show you. Ethan signed as they walked out, "where are we going?" Ethan thought as they walked what does he want..."We are here, this man tried to assassinate me."
"M'lord I was drunk please forgive me." Joffrey stared him down "Why not have an execution sounds good to me." The drunk demanded "I want a Trial by Combat!" Joffrey smirked and giggled "lets see your sword skills." A man picked up a sword and threw it to the drunk. "Uncle you fight for me." Ethan drew his sword as Joffrey stepped back. "Fight!"
They clashed blades as the noise of metal clashing. Drunk tried an upward swing. Ethan knocked him off his feet. Ethan put his sword in the Drunk's neck. Ethan put his sword in his holster. "How was that Joffrey?" Joffrey said "Excellent now lets go I have better things to do." They walked off."
There only few issues here, you need more interest and detail at least which is first one, You don't need to do anything with Known In Public or the rumor, age. But also we need to discuss about being house of Lannister if your part that house I am sure you would want someone know how your connected canon characters because their Lannister too.

Climate Initiatives, Society in General
Climatists Aim Forks at Our Food Supply
It's not enough to apply Chinese-style lockdowns in the name of "fighting climate change." Now climatists want to stick forks in our food supply, thereby reducing populations to a more "sustainable" number. The attack on world food supply has four prongs to it, just like the forks in the image above.
1. Exaggerate the Minor Climate Impact of Methane (CH4)

Background: The Carbon Cycle is Natural
This diagram of the fast carbon cycle shows the movement of carbon between land, atmosphere, and oceans in billions of tons per year. Yellow numbers are natural fluxes, red are human contributions, white indicate stored carbon.
Instead of delusions about CO2 as the planet's climate "control knob", Viv Forbes provides us a wise, sane view how the carbon cycle works, and what we know and don't know about it. And rather than exaggerate the effects of humans recycling fossil fuels, he puts the carbon cycling sources and sinks into a sensible perspective. His recent article is entitled: Carbon Delusions and Limited Models
The IPCC models misread the positive and negative temperature feedbacks from water vapour (the main greenhouse gas) and their accounting for natural processes in the carbon cycle is based on very incomplete knowledge and numerous unproven assumptions.
The dreaded "greenhouse gases" (carbon dioxide and methane) are natural gases. Man did not create them — they occur naturally in comets and planets, and have been far more plentiful in previous atmospheres on Earth. They are abundant in the oceans and the atmosphere, and are buried in deposits of gas, oil, coal, shale, methane clathrates and vast beds of limestone. Land and sea plants absorb CO2 and micro-organisms absorb methane in the deep ocean.
Earth emits natural carbon-bearing gases in huge and largely unknown and unpredictable quantities. Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and various hydrocarbons such as ethane, methane and propane bubble out of the ocean floor, seep out of swamps, bubble naturally out of rivers, are released in oil seeps, water wells and bores, and are sometimes delivered via water pipes into drinking water. They are also released whenever carbon-bearing rocks such as coal and shale are eroded naturally, catch fire or are disturbed by earthquakes, construction activities or mining. The vast offshore deposits of frozen methane are released naturally when geothermal heat or volcanic intrusions melt the ice containing the methane.
The Minor Climate Impact of Methane (CH4)
Natural gas is 75% Methane (CH4) which burns cleanly to carbon dioxide and water. Methane is eagerly sought after as fuel for electric power plants because of its ease of transport and because it produces the least carbon dioxide for the most power. Also cars can be powered with compressed natural gas (CNG) for short distances.
In many countries CNG has been widely distributed as the main home heating fuel. As a consequence, in the past methane has leaked to the atmosphere in large quantities, now firmly controlled. Grazing animals also produce methane in their complicated stomachs and methane escapes from rice paddies and peat bogs like the Siberian permafrost.
It is thought that methane is a very potent greenhouse gas because it absorbs some infrared wavelengths 7 times more effectively than CO2, molecule for molecule, and by weight even 20 times. As we have seen previously, this also means that within a distance of metres, its effect has saturated, and further transmission of heat occurs by convection and conduction rather than by radiation.
Note that when H20 is present in the lower troposphere, there are few photons left for CH4 to absorb:
Even if the IPCC radiative greenhouse theory were true, methane occurs only in minute quantities in air, 1.8ppm versus CO2 of 390ppm. By weight, CH4 is only 5.24Gt versus CO2 3140Gt (on this assumption). If it truly were twenty times more potent, it would amount to an equivalent of 105Gt CO2 or one thirtieth that of CO2. A doubling in methane would thus have no noticeable effect on world temperature.
However, the factor of 20 is entirely misleading because absorption is proportional to the number of molecules (=volume), so the factor of 7 (7.3) is correct and 20 is wrong. With this in mind, the perceived threat from methane becomes even less.
Further still, methane has been rising from 1.6ppm to 1.8ppm in 30 years (1980-2010), assuming that it has not stopped rising, this amounts to a doubling in 2-3 centuries. In other words, methane can never have any measurable effect on temperature, even if the IPCC radiative cooling theory were right.
Because only a small fraction in the rise of methane in air can be attributed to farm animals, it is ludicrous to worry about this aspect or to try to farm with smaller emissions of methane, or to tax it or to trade credits.
The fact that methane in air has been leveling off in the past two decades, even though we do not know why, implies that it plays absolutely no role as a greenhouse gas. (From Sea Friends (here):

Methane Risk from Livestock is Overstated
Frank M. Mitloehner is Professor of Animal Science and Air Quality Extension Specialist, University of California, Davis. He writes at the Conversation Yes, eating meat affects the environment, but cows are not killing the climate. Excerpts in italics with my bolds.
A key claim underlying these arguments holds that globally, meat production generates more greenhouse gases than the entire transportation sector. However, this claim is demonstrably wrong, as I will show. And its persistence has led to false assumptions about the linkage between meat and climate change.
My research focuses on ways in which animal agriculture affects air quality and climate change. In my view, there are many reasons for either choosing animal protein or opting for a vegetarian selection. However, foregoing meat and meat products is not the environmental panacea many would have us believe. And if taken to an extreme, it also could have harmful nutritional consequences.
Many people continue to think avoiding meat as infrequently as once a week will make a significant difference to the climate. But according to one recent study, even if Americans eliminated all animal protein from their diets, they would reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by only 2.6 percent. According to our research at the University of California, Davis, if the practice of Meatless Monday were to be adopted by all Americans, we'd see a reduction of only 0.5 percent.
Moreover, technological, genetic and management changes that have taken place in U.S. agriculture over the past 70 years have made livestock production more efficient and less greenhouse gas-intensive. According to the FAO's statistical database, total direct greenhouse gas emissions from U.S. livestock have declined 11.3 percent since 1961, while production of livestock meat has more than doubled.
Removing animals from U.S. agriculture would lower national greenhouse gas emissions to a small degree, but it would also make it harder to meet nutritional requirements. Many critics of animal agriculture are quick to point out that if farmers raised only plants, they could produce more pounds of food and more calories per person. But humans also need many essential micro- and macronutrients for good health.
The world population is currently projected to reach 9.8 billion people by 2050. Feeding this many people will raise immense challenges. Meat is more nutrient-dense per serving than vegetarian options, and ruminant animals largely thrive on feed that is not suitable for humans. Raising livestock also offers much-needed income for small-scale farmers in developing nations. Worldwide, livestock provides a livelihood for 1 billion people.
Climate change demands urgent attention, and the livestock industry has a large overall environmental footprint that affects air, water and land. These, combined with a rapidly rising world population, give us plenty of compelling reasons to continue to work for greater efficiencies in animal agriculture. I believe the place to start is with science-based facts.
N2O is No Excuse to Ban Fertilizers
Methane and Climate is a paper by W. A. van Wijngaarden (Department of Physics and Astronomy, York University, Canada) and W. Happer (Department of Physics, Princeton University, USA) published at CO2 Coalition November 22, 2019. It is a summary in advance of a more detailed publication to come. Excerpts in italics with my bolds. [Note the paper is a thorough and deep expert analysis of atmospheric radiation physics which I do not fully comprehend. So the excerpts below are necessarily superficial, but intend to provide the core findings from these scientists.]
Figure 2: Left. A standard atmospheric temperature profile [9], T = T(z). The surface temperature is T(0)= 288.7 K. Right. Standard concentrations [10], Csd = Nsd /N for greenhouse molecules versus altitude z. The total number density of atmospheric molecules is N and the number density of molecules of type i is Nsd. At sea level the concentrations are 7750 ppm of H2O, 1.8 ppm of CH4 and 0.32 ppm of N2O. The O3 concentration peaks at 7.8 ppm at an altitude of 35 km, and the CO2 concentration was approximated by 400 ppm at all altitudes. The data is based on experimental observations.
As shown in Fig. 2, the most abundant greenhouse gas at the surface is water vapor (H2O). However, the concentration of water vapor drops by a factor of a thousand or more between the surface and the tropopause. This is because of condensation of water vapor into clouds and eventual removal by precipitation. Carbon dioxide CO2, the most abundant greenhouse gas after water vapor, is also the most uniformly mixed because of its chemical stability. Methane, the main topic of this discussion is much less abundant than CO2 and it has somewhat higher concentrations in the troposphere than in the stratosphere where it is oxidized by OH radicals and ozone, O3. The oxydation of methane [8] is the main source of the stratospheric water vapor shown in Fig. 2.
Figure 9: Projected midlatitude forcing increments at the tropopause from continued increases of CO2 and CH4 at the rates of Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 for the next 50 years. The projected forcings are very small, especially for methane, compared to the current tropospheric forcing of 137 W m−2.
The paper is focused on the greenhouse effects of atmospheric methane, since there have recently been proposals to put harsh restrictions on any human activities that release methane. The basic radiation-transfer physics outlined in this paper gives no support to the idea that greenhouse gases like methane (CH4), carbon dioxide (CO2) or nitrous oxide (N2O) are contributing to a climate crisis. Given the huge benefits of more CO2 to agriculture, to forestry, and to primary photosynthetic productivity in general, more CO2 is almost certainly benefitting the world. Radiative effects of CH4 and N2O are so small that they are irrelevant to climate.

The chart above informs on the scale of N2O concentrations. At first glance, it appears comparable to CO2, but on closer inspection the amounts are in ppb (parts per billion), not ppm (parts per million) as with CO2. To get comparable amounts requires dividing by 1000, thus the vertical axis goes from 0.315 ppm to 0.340 ppm. Yes, the dramatic rise over the last 22 years is 0.025ppm.
Then we have the annual global increase of N2O from all sources ranging from about 0.5 to 1.3 ppb. Does anyone believe they can measure N2O down to 0.0005 ppm?
Vegans Pushing Their Anti-Meat Agenda
The origin of these alarms are studies published in Lancet, once highly reputed but recently given over to climate ideology rather than objective science. Most recently is Food in the Anthropocene: the EAT–Lancet Commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems The preceding Lancet study stated this main finding:
Following environmental objectives by replacing animal-source foods with plant-based ones was particularly effective in high-income countries for improving nutrient levels, lowering premature mortality (reduction of up to 12% [95% CI 10–13] with complete replacement), and reducing some environmental impacts, in particular greenhouse gas emissions (reductions of up to 84%). However, it also increased freshwater use (increases of up to 16%) and had little effectiveness in countries with low or moderate consumption of animal-source foods. (here).
Georgia Ede MD writes in Psychology Today EAT-Lancet's Plant-based Planet: 10 Things You Need to Know. Excerpts in italics below with my bolds. Title is link to full text which is recommended reading. Georgia Ede, MD, is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist and nutrition consultant practicing at Smith College. She writes about food and health on her website DiagnosisDiet.com.
We all want to be healthy, and we need a sustainable way to feed ourselves without destroying our environment. The well-being of our planet and its people are clearly in jeopardy, therefore clear, science-based, responsible guidance about how we should move forward together is most welcome.
Unfortunately, we are going to have to look elsewhere for solutions, because the EAT-Lancet Commission report fails to provide us with the clarity, transparency and responsible representation of the facts we need to place our trust in its authors. Instead, the Commission's arguments are vague, inconsistent, unscientific, and downplay the serious risks to life and health posed by vegan diets.
To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a human clinical trial designed to test the health effects of simply removing animal foods from the diet, without making any other diet or lifestyle changes such as eliminating refined carbohydrates and other processed foods. Unless and until such research is conducted demonstrating clear benefits to this strategy, the assertion that human beings would be healthier without animal foods remains an untested hypothesis with clear risks to human life and health. Prescribing plant-based diets to the planet without including straightforward warnings of these risks and offering clear guidance as to how to minimize them is scientifically irresponsible and medically unethical, and therefore should not form the basis of public health recommendations.
Natural Gas (75% methane) burns the cleanest with the least CO2 for the energy produced.
Leakage of methane is already addressed by efficiency improvements for its economic recovery, and will apparently be subject to even more regulations.
The atmosphere is a methane sink where the compound is oxidized through a series of reactions producing 1 CO2 and 2H20 after a few years.
GWP (Global Warming Potential) is CO2 equivalent heat trapping based on laboratory, not real world effects.
Any IR absorption by methane is limited by H2O absorbing in the same low energy LW bands.
There is no danger this century from natural or man-made methane emissions.
This is a bogus war on fertilizers, farmers and food. Everything is exaggerated for the sake of an extreme agenda to impose controls on free enterprise developed societies. It is true that use of fertilizers results in some release of N2O into the air, but even this has been overstated. And as the video demonstrates, farmers have a vested interest in using fertilizers wisely and are applying techniques that improve efficiency. As well, there is evidence of efficiency gains in the process of producing ammonia and then urea from air and natural gas. The attack on food supply is in effect an effort to reduce the population.

there was a time not to far in the distant past the earth was 6 degrees warmer than now, dinosaurs who have no fur florished from pole to pole, why? well if you believe the bible it states, that there was a water expanse above the earth (the expanse was heaven where birds fly) and water expanse on the earth, this caused more warming than any co2. water vapor it 90 times more heat trapping then co2, no?: this water expanse is what was released during the flood of noahs day as God destroyed the wicked. where id it go? it is all here hence why we have plate tetonics, and big mountains, so we are actually colder than God intended. and yes as a christian witness I do believe dinos existed and the earth is super old, day i the bible is not defined, so a day can be millions of years long. the day of the dinosaurs, we use expressions like this all the time why cant God?

And the "util_err.h" declares the function --- nrerror.
I do not know what the exact problem is but it seems to me that the problem is in the block linespace.

A: source model_search(float evdp, float a_radius, char *file) {
    float *radius=NULL, ...
        fscanf(f,"%f %f %f", &radius[i] ...

&radius[i] is here equal to (uintptr_t)NULL + sizeof(float) * i which is an invalid pointer value. fscanf tries to dereference thater point and assign float value to it. Dereferencing invalid pointer value is undefined behaviour and the assigment most probably results in seg fault on unix systems.

*

*MCVE is the minimal example needed to reproduce the error. One could debug your program with simple printf statements until seeing which statement produces seg fault.

*
It sounds like you may need to learn how to use a debugger to step through your code. With a good debugger, you can execute your program line by line and see where it is deviating from what you expect. This is an essential tool if you are going to do any programming.  Further reading: How to debug small programs]

*In code you have for(...; feof(...); ...) which is always wrong. See Why is "while ( !feof (file) )" always wrong?. In your case on the last line, the fscanf finds EOF, so the last line is incorrectly handled in your code. You should check the return value of fscanf.

*Check errors. Try to check all errors.

*In main() the float *takeoff=NULL,*takeoff1=NULL,*azi=NULL,*azi1=NULL; are never assigned a valid pointer, only NULLs. Inside linspace you check if (... && u == 0) return 0;, so takeoff = linspace(..., takeoff) still results in takeoff = NULL. Accessing NULL at t0 = takeoff[i]; inside main() is undefined behavior and most probably will seg fault too.

*It's really a personal taste, but for simple programmer errors, it's nice to use assertions. linspace(...., float u[]) { assert(u != NULL); ...}.

Food production and distribution in WWII, World War Two
The Taste of War: World War Two and the Battle for Food
Admittedly, I take food for granted. Supermarket tomatoes and peaches tend to slice and taste like cardboard, so I avoid buying them. We have abundant food, and a significant percentage ends up in the compost heap or a local landfill. Malnutrition and obesity are American issues. Starvation? Not so much. After reading Collingham's The Taste of War, I had to conclude that even then, during the war, our food problems in America were mostly what my daughter calls the prebbles—problems of the privileged or, more commonly, "first-world" problems.
There are many ways to slice and dice World War II. Collingham's focus on the production and distribution of food is both novel and fascinating. However, I should hasten to add that this book is a five or six course meal not a small plate or tapas, but enough food metaphors. While concentrating on the major participants in World War II, she also discusses WW II food topics associated with Kenya, New Guinea, Bengal, Manchuria, and Korea to name but a few.
Growing up in America in the 1940's and 1950's, I heard numerous stories about rationing during the war. I have since learned that most of our privations were "small beer" compared to those experienced elsewhere in the world. In The Taste of War, Collingham spells it out bluntly. Among the major belligerents, Japan and the Soviet Union experienced the most devastating food shortages creating starvation syndromes that claimed millions of civilian lives in each country. The United States, by startling contrast, fed our own citizens and soldiers, shipped food to our allies during the war—including the Soviet Union—and to our former enemies after the war. Our caloric standards for troops were nearly twenty-five percent greater than those for the most well fed of other combatant countries, even Australia, a rare country that managed to have food surpluses during the war.
It is commonly observed that armchair generals study operations and tactics while professional generals study logistics. And in a long war where attrition is the goal, logistics is king. The longest lasting aspect of World War II was on the Eastern Front. Attrition was monumental. There the brutal killing lasted from June 1941 to May 1945. Daily, on average, the Soviets lost about 8,000 soldiers and 15,000 civilians killed. The majority of the civilians killed each day died from starvation and related diseases. In Collingham's view, and I think it is the correct one, "killed" is the proper word because Germany's established policy was to starve the populations residing in what is today Poland, the Baltic Republics, Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia. Germany wanted the agricultural products from these areas to feed its troops and to feed the Germans back home. Also, Germany tried to rid these areas of their populations so that Germany could colonize them.
It is a terrible and sad story, one of many in this book. Not all, however, were perpetrated by the Axis powers. Britain's role in and response to the horrendous famine of 1942-43 in Bengal is one of the most inhumane chapters of its imperial past. This story is one of The Taste of War's many strengths. Collingham evenhandedly discusses and analyzes the successes, failures and crimes of each of the major belligerents.
Collingham, synthesizes hundreds of books concerning food in WW II. She does a great service by devoting a segment of her book to the horrific conditions that existed around the world beyond the war's end. We often think that the war ended either in May or August 1945 depending on which hemisphere we're thinking about and that the world returned to normal. While not for the squeamish, Collingham provides perspectives about the famines of late 1945, 1946, and 1947 that force us to revise our comfortable illusions concerning the war's real end. Civilians particularly continued to suffer grievously after the fighting had mostly stopped. – Neal Ferguson

Neal Ferguson
Neal Ferguson is a self described Anglo-phile. After studying for a PhD in British history and doing research for a year in various British archives, he came to the University of Nevada in 1970 to teach. Soon he found himself in administration where he remained until 2003. After returning to full-time teaching a decade ago, he decided to concentrate his teaching energies on Medieval British history and various global aspects of World War II. Dedicated to Ambrose Bierce's proclamation that the purpose of war is to teach Americans geography, Neal insists that his students accompany him (in class) to sundry east European rivers and steppes, African deserts and jungles, south-east Asian mountain ranges and peninsulas, and small islands and coral reefs in the Pacific. Currently he is writing a book about the ups and downs of General Douglas MacArthur's military reputation.
