When I saw Cycling's Strangest Tales I thought that it must be Christmas time – not because its arrival was cause for celebration, but because that is the time of year when such books tend to appear. Sometimes publishers hit on a format that is a commercial success (which is more likely if it will appeal to the gift buying public), and then just keep on repeating it.
The Strangest Tales series has covered many other sports, and also some less predictable subjects such as teaching, law, and London – and author Iain Spragg is responsible for several of them. The cycling edition first appeared in 2014, and this is an update. Of the 110 stories, the majority come from this century, with 11 being new to this edition.
The aim is to 'chart the weird and wonderful evolution of the bicycle, the eccentric and controversial characters who have helped pioneer and popularise cycling and the oddest examples of two-wheeled mayhem on the planet'.
When confronted with books like this that have to fit into a series, I am tempted to question whether every item really deserves to be included. This book is not as bad as some other formats, such as the '1001 bikes to dream of riding before you die' (part of the 1001 series), where several of the bikes were clearly present only to make the numbers fit the title.
In this case I would question whether some stories should be classed as 'strange', when they are only really 'of interest'. For example, the fact that Laura Trott fell off her bike a few times when learning to race is surely only included because of the headline-grabbing appeal of 'the diminutive four-time Olympic gold medallist' and not because falling off is anything unusual.
Other stories fit the bill perfectly, being the sort of quirky matters that road.cc also likes to cover – such as the Stairway to Heaven: Spragg gives us the original Trampe 'bicycle lift' in Trondheim, and road.cc the proposed equivalent in Edinburgh.
As you might expect from the name, a book like this is likely to contain several stories that sound improbable, or have been distorted – perhaps we are becoming more distrusting in these days of 'fake news' – but it was always in my mind that any previous mis-reporting by a news source may have been recycled, or new errors introduced.
Take the story of a cyclist in China who was apparently knocked out when hit by a corpse thrown from a passing car: the chapter is called a 'Posthumous Projectile'. The book claims that the cyclist was called Yun Tsui, whereas road.cc (and the rest of 'the internet') claims that was the name of his uncle and the cyclist was actually called Wu Dan.
The result is that I have some doubts as to whether the event happened exactly as described, and even more uncertainty about the names of those involved... In a light-hearted book designed to entertain us, the odd questionable fact or mis-placed story may not really matter, but it should probably not appear in the reference section of your library.
There is always a place for miscellaneous compendiums such as this, which can provide entertaining stories and even answers for pub quizzes, but there are perhaps better options available from more specialist sources – such as Cyclopedia, or Muck, Sweat and Gears.
A new title from the bestselling Strangest series – for the cycling obsessed.
Contains 80 entertaining (but bizarre) cycling stories dating back to the invention of the wheel.
The perfect book for any bike nut, whether Brompton fan or speed freak.
It's entertaining, but I also question some of the included stories.
There are some interesting stories, and some that are new to me.
It is an acceptable attempt at the job, but I'd suggest there are better books available.

Q and A Spratly Islands' conundrum:" We should play the Philippines Card" – De Venecia
In a recent article of the Global Times published by the Communist Party's People's Daily, the tabloid exhorted China to punish economically the Philippines because of its recent military dialogues with the United States to host a more regular and much bigger military exercises on her territory.Former five-time House Speaker Jose de Venecia, Jr., an imminent connoisseur of geo-politics, was interviewed by Mortz C. Ortigoza, political columnist of Northern Watch, on the Chinese's threatening belligerence towards the Philippines and the East Asian Countries who have claims on the Spratlys and other island territories in the South China Sea (SCS), the United States growing presence in the SCS, and the debt crises at the European Union in the face of the forthcoming election in France and the volatile political coalition in Germany. Excerpts:
MORTZ C. ORTIGOZA (MCO): Mainland China's president Hu Jintao recently said war is imminent between China and the United States, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
Radio Commentator Mortz Ortigoza and former Philippines
House of Representatives' 5-Time Speaker in one of their
huddles that usually zero's on international affairs.
JOSE DE VENECIA (JDV): Well, in the first place I don't know whether it was true Hu Jintao made that statement that war is imminent against the U.S, Philippine, and Vietnam.
MCO: I read that in the internet an article entitled "China prepares for war over South China Sea Spratly Islands" after Hu reacted, in a speech he delivered at a military industrial complex in China, to U.S President Obama's announcement in January 5, 2011 on a new military strategy in Asia as Vietnam and the Philippines were acrimonious on China's incessant and aggressive encroachment in the Spratlys.
JDV: I don't think there will be war in the South China Sea.
MCO: How strategic is the SCS to the U.S and the claimant nations in South East Asia like the Philippines?
JDV: Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines, Brunei and so to address to the U.S and the Europeans to insure an untrammeled navigation of the South China Sea that is their main concern because of the oiltankers of Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan would pass through these Spratlys in going to the Malacca Straits, going through the Andaman Sea, going toward the Indian Ocean, going toward the Arabian Sea. Imagine that our ship through Manila bring this (oil) through Corregidor. We don't have tankers (to pass) to the front yard and backyard.
MCO:President Barrack Obama has just decided to reduce the United States troops in Europe by transferring them in South East Asia like the Philippines and Vietnam, Guam, and Australia to buttress the U.S Military presence there. How did you see this latest U.S policy?

It's complicated: The impact of marriage legalization among sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals in the United States.
Laurie A. Drabble, Angie R. Wootton, Cindy B. Veldhuis, Ellen Perry, Ellen D.B. Riggle, Karen F. Trocki, Tonda L. Hughes
This mixed-methods study explored perceptions of the impact of marriage legalization in all U.S. states among sexual minority women and gender diverse individuals. Survey data were collected from a nonprobability sample of individuals 18 years or older who identified as lesbian, bisexual, queer, same-sex attracted, or something other than exclusively heterosexual—as well as individuals who identified as transgender or gender nonbinary (e.g., genderqueer, trans woman, trans man, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming). The analytic sample included 418 participants in an online survey who responded to open-ended questions about the perceived impact of marriage legalization. Qualitative analyses revealed perceptions of marriage legalization that situated individual meanings in the context of broader political and social factors. Four themes represented the complex perceptions of participants about marriage legalization: (a) establishing a victory in civil rights, social inclusion, and acceptance; (b) creating a paradox between positives of legalization and limitations of marriage as an institution; (c) amplifying concerns for unaddressed safety and rights issues; and (d) contributing to the erosion of queer identity and community. Quantitative analyses revealed several differences by demographic characteristics, such as greater concern about the erosion of community among unmarried participants compared to participants who were married. Findings underscore the importance of policies that advance equality for sexual and gender minorities (SGMs), as well as the importance of research exploring how policies are perceived by and impact SGM subpopulations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) Public Significance Statement: Legalization of marriage for same-sex couples in the United States was generally perceived by sexual and gender minorities (SGM) as a civil rights victory and marker of increased social inclusion and acceptance. At the same time, findings underscore remaining concerns such as inconsistent policy protections against discrimination, structural stigma and stigma from family and extended networks, and how centralizing marriage may undermine SGM community connectedness and appreciation for diverse relationship structures.

The Zebra in the Room: Amanda McTaggart's Journey with EDS
In this episode, Kim goes on a 6,000 mile round trip journey to Northern Ireland to meet our incredible guest, Amanda McTaggart. Amanda has a rare connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). EDS affects every function in Amanda's and causes severe pain, dislocations, heart problems, stomach issues, sleep disturbance, lack of concentration and overall poor mobility. She has a long list of other severe conditions that are connected to her EDS. Amanda's situation is so severe that she is at risk of rupturing any large organ or artery at any time. Her five year-old son Ethan also exhibits some traits of this condition. Despite all this, as you'll hear, Amanda is warm, bright and resilient. There are no specialists who can treat Amanda's condition in Ireland, so she must travel to London every eight weeks to meet with her medical team. Amanda's treatment is not covered by the British National Health System, so she relies on crowdfunding to keep going. Visit Amanda's Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/action4amanda/) for updates and her Go Fund Me (https://www.gofundme.com/f/action-4-amanda) page to help out. Get in touch at action4amanda@hotmail.com. Do you or someone you love have EDS? If so let us know. We want to hear about your journey and how Amanda's story touched you. You can use the Anchor app to leave us an audio message. Or, use your phone's voice memo app to record a message and email it to us at healingisinyourhands@gmail.com.

Holistic seasonal allergy remedies and Spring detoxing tips
In this episode, Kim and Erik follow up on the winter wellness episode by talking about seasonal allergies and spring detoxing tips. Learn the root cause of seasonal allergies and why they seem to be affecting more and more people every year. Erik talks about the benefits of eating wild food. Learn more on our forage walk episode. He discusses specific wild herbs, mushrooms, and Chinese herbal formulas that ease allergy symptoms. Learn what a Neti pot is and why it helps with allergies. Kim and Erik discuss how oil pulling, a detox foot bath, fire cupping, guasha and more can help detox your body from winter to prevent allergies. Tick prevention using aromatherapy, herbal tinctures, and other tips are also discussed. Check out an article Erik wrote for Natural Awakenings about lyme's disease. Learn the benefits of bitter greens and sprouts in the spring. The meditative moment connects you with the energy of spring! Hear the birdsong, a babbling brook, and immerse yourself in the abundance of nature all around you. Sprouting recipe: For sprouting use a combination of alfalfa, red clover, fenugreek, radish, or any other sprouting seed. You can also sprout nuts and beans but for this recipe we are looking for phytonutrient greens. You can use sprouting trays but the easiest way to spray is to get a metal sprouting screen, a plastic top, and a 32 oz. Ball Jar. Add 2 tablespoons of sprouting seeds to ball jar. Fill jar with Filtered water and let sit for 8 hours or overnight. Strain the water and let jar sit upside down in a bowl. Cover with a cloth and keep out of the sun. For 5 days add water and strain really well and put jar back in the bowl. On the 6th day let it sit out uncovered in the sun so the sprouts can green up. Do not add water on the 6th day so the sprouts can dry out a bit. In the evening pull sprouts out of the jar, put in a container, and store in the fridge to be eaten within 5 days.

Eat the Sunlight with Dr. Kevin Reese
Tune in to this engaging conversation with Dr. Kevin Reese. He has helped thousands of people reclaim their health through his books, seminars, and programs. Before becoming a known authority in Holistic Health, Dr. Reese was an unhealthy radio personality for CBS where he interviewed celebrities, hosted concerts and was known as a "shock jock." After becoming chronically sick and ending up on heart-monitors at only 28 years old, he decided to follow the path of natural health by transforming himself through the use of fruits and vegetables. After a 12 year career in broadcasting, his new passion for health motivated him to leave radio and earn a Ph.D. in holistic health and nutrition. Following a decade working with sick clients, authoring five books and being invited to speak at various venues, Dr. Reese was inspired to create a nonprofit organization called ETS Health Inc. With the mission to prevent future generations from chronic illness, heart disease, and obesity, EAT THE SUNLIGHT aims to make health fun for children through books, music, and podcasts. Believing in the power of education through entertainment, Dr. Reese has uniquely combined his showbiz and health careers, to give parents the tools they need to teach their children the benefits of healthy living. On this episode we delve into more about his background, his unique doctorate, and his teachings. We learn about the mission of Sunlight Sonny and what Kevin envisions for the future.

Alan Zucconi in Games | September 14, 2016
The Most Anticipated Games #20
Astroneer | System Era | website | steam | twitter
Let's be honest: saying that Astroneer is going to be huge is unnecessary. The game has attracted a large audience already, and there is no doubt is going to be a commercial success. Incidentally, this ambitious indie title effortlessly delivers most of features that are missing from No Man's Sky. Multiplayer and terrain deformations are not just some minor cosmetics decoration: they are deeply woven in the fabric of Astroneer. The game is about surviving, exploring and building bases on alien planets. All aspects that Astroneer implements with an immersive, diegetic interface. From the music the to user experience, every aspect of Astroneer is crafted with love.
SHENZHEN I/O | Zachtronics | steam | reddit
As a long term fan of Zachtronics' work, I had to talk about their upcoming new game. Following the unexpected success of TIS-100, the indie studio is building a more visually appealing title based on the same gameplay. SHENZHEN I/O belongs to the Read The Fucking Manual genre. The game provides you with no real tutorial or explanation, but comes with a proper technical manual. Much like working with real electronics, players have to discover how to connect and program the different components. Zachtronics also sells physical copies of the SHENZHEN I/O instruction manual. The improvements from TIS-100 are obvious, but it is unclear, at the moment how much deeper the game will be. I can't wait to see what new features (and challenges) Zachtronics will offer.
Gladiabots | Sébastien Dubois | itch.io | twitter
If you're interested in artificial intelligence, Gladiabots is definitely a title you should check out. The game is already available on itch.io, but compared to most Early Access titles, it feels very solid. Gladiabots provides an easy, intuitive interface to program fighting robots. A very effective tutorial makes sure that you understand the basic mechanics, and few AIs are already provided to get you started. Designing behaviours is a hard, yet rewarding task. And Gladiabots provides the perfect ground to study and simulate different conditions. The game also provides a multiplayer arena fight against other players. As impressive as it is already, I am eager to see which other types of tasks and challenges the final version of the game will present.

Right atrial spontaneous echo contrast and thrombi in atrial fibrillation: A transesophageal echocardiography study
Mohammad Bashir, Craig R. Asher, Mario J. Garcia, Ibrahim Abdalla, Susan E. Jasper, R. Daniel Murray, Richard A. Grimm, James D. Thomas, Allan L. Klein
Background: Previous studies have reported the clinical and echocardiographic findings of patients with left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) and thrombi. We sought to study these characteristics in patients with right atrial SEC and thrombi. Methods: We reviewed 580 consecutive patients from the ACUTE (Assessment of Cardioversion Using Transesophageal Echocardiography) Registry and found 79 patients (14%, aged 67 ±13 years, 67 male) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) findings of right atrial SEC or thrombi (group 1). This group was compared with a control group of 75 consecutive patients (group 2) (aged 68 ± 13 years, P = not significant; 49 male, P < .005) from the registry with no TEE findings of SEC or thrombi in the left or right atrium. Results: Atrial fibrillation was present in 60 of 79 group I patients (76%). Five right atrial (6%) and 11 left atrial (14%) thrombi were identified. Both left ventricular ejection fraction (39% ± 16% versus 47% ± 14%; P = .0005) and presence of right ventricular dysfunction (n = 44 versus 18; P = .0001) differed significantly between groups I and 2, respectively. Right atrial area (24 ± 6 cm 2 versus 22 ± 6 cm 2; P = .02) was larger in patients in group 1. Left atrial SEC was present in 68 of 79 group I patients (86%). Patients with right atrial thrombi and right atrial SEC had a longer duration of arrhythmia (524 ± 812 days versus 147 ± 368 days, P < .05) than patients with right atrial SEC only. Conclusions: Right atrial SEC has a prevalence of 14% in patients with atrial arrhythmia who undergo TEE-guided cardioversion. Right atrial thrombi are a rare finding and were seen in fewer than 1% (5/580) of patients with atrial arrhythmia. Right atrial thrombi among patients on anticoagulation therapy were not associated with clinically significant pulmonary embolism.

Right atrial thrombi among patients on anticoagulation therapy were not associated with clinically significant pulmonary embolism.
AB - Background: Previous studies have reported the clinical and echocardiographic findings of patients with left atrial spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) and thrombi. We sought to study these characteristics in patients with right atrial SEC and thrombi. Methods: We reviewed 580 consecutive patients from the ACUTE (Assessment of Cardioversion Using Transesophageal Echocardiography) Registry and found 79 patients (14%, aged 67 ±13 years, 67 male) with transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) findings of right atrial SEC or thrombi (group 1). This group was compared with a control group of 75 consecutive patients (group 2) (aged 68 ± 13 years, P = not significant; 49 male, P < .005) from the registry with no TEE findings of SEC or thrombi in the left or right atrium. Results: Atrial fibrillation was present in 60 of 79 group I patients (76%). Five right atrial (6%) and 11 left atrial (14%) thrombi were identified. Both left ventricular ejection fraction (39% ± 16% versus 47% ± 14%; P = .0005) and presence of right ventricular dysfunction (n = 44 versus 18; P = .0001) differed significantly between groups I and 2, respectively. Right atrial area (24 ± 6 cm 2 versus 22 ± 6 cm 2; P = .02) was larger in patients in group 1. Left atrial SEC was present in 68 of 79 group I patients (86%). Patients with right atrial thrombi and right atrial SEC had a longer duration of arrhythmia (524 ± 812 days versus 147 ± 368 days, P < .05) than patients with right atrial SEC only. Conclusions: Right atrial SEC has a prevalence of 14% in patients with atrial arrhythmia who undergo TEE-guided cardioversion. Right atrial thrombi are a rare finding and were seen in fewer than 1% (5/580) of patients with atrial arrhythmia. Right atrial thrombi among patients on anticoagulation therapy were not associated with clinically significant pulmonary embolism.

Political economist doesn't know what macroeconomic means
Ragging on Ritchie
I recently suggested to colleagues that I thought that we were looking at accounting in the wrong way. We were still seeing large companies (now commonly called PIEs, which stands for public interest entity) as if they were microeconomic entities.
But what if they were not? What if they were macroeconomic entities? Then what?
Macroeconomic doesn't just mean big economic. It means whole economy. So, firms are not macroeconomic entities.
The evidence supports this suggestion. Many multinational corporations are much larger than many countries.
As every actual economist knows this isn't really so. The very largest companies are about the size of small countries. Exxon is, roughly and the last time I did the comparison, about the size of Luxembourg. This is because, as every economist knows, GDP and corporate turnover are not comparable. The closest comparison would be with GDP and wage bill plus profits in the corporation.
And if that is true the whole 'theory of the firm' view of the entity is wrong when applied to it.
The theory of the firm is one of those things that economists really should know about. It is an elegant discussion that won half a Nobel. The theory of the firm is asking the question, well, why do firms exist? Why not just have a network of contracts and work allocation between individuals?
It's nothing to do with the size of firms relative to the host economy, nor is it about how firms behave once they exist.
What the entity actually is, in that case, is a power bloc to rival government, and in the case of the big tech companies and others we do, of course, see that to be the case.
So why are we holding them to account as if they are still just companies?
So, having misunderstood all of the economic concepts he deigns to mention we come to the real point here. There can be no power centres outside the state. All within the state, all for the state, nothing against the state. And I'm not just joking with those echoes of Mussolini:
The shareholders (one or two founders apart) have very little control in most cases (and I will note the exception of Exxon in another blog). Those shareholders have no meaningful ownership stake in the firm: they simply own a right to an income stream the company might pay. And the obligation to stakeholders is, in most cases, greater.
So why not treat them for what they are? And why not regulate them as macroeconomic entities, accountable to all, and not just a few shareholders whose identity is, in any case, unknown because of the way in which modern shareholding is registered?
Thoughts are welcome.
That is flat out fascism. That is what Mussolini did, it's largely what the Nazis did as well. The capitalists were allowed to keep their ownership. Collect their – regulated – dividends. But all the actual power over what happened belonged to government. In economic terms that's actually what fascism is.
In general, fascist governments exercised control over private property, but they did not nationalize it.
An important aspect of fascist economies was economic dirigism, meaning an economy where the government often subsidizes favorable companies and exerts strong directive influence over investment, as opposed to having a merely regulatory role. In general, fascist economies were based on private property and private initiative, but these were contingent upon service to the state.
Fascist governments encouraged the pursuit of private profit and offered many benefits to large businesses, but they demanded in return that all economic activity should serve the national interest. Historian Gaetano Salvemini argued in 1936 that fascism makes taxpayers responsible to private enterprise because "the State pays for the blunders of private enterprise. […] Profit is private and individual. Loss is public and social".
That is where he's going with all of this. It's astonishing that he doesn't know this as well. He'd be most offended to be told that he was advocating the fascist system of control of an economy. For he's a good bloke, right?
It's just that he's ignorant of economics, that's all.

I wonder what the XOM shareholder exception supposedly is? The AGM stuff usually has some questions by the chicago sisters of mercy benevolent fund about doing nice fluffy Crossy things, but don't think they ever get passed.

Great post Tim – my only quibble is that it is not astonishing Murphy doesn't know this. He is the most ignorant commentator extant in Cyberspace today – a man utterly ignorant of History, Economics, Politics and Finance. Why would he know he is advocating fascism??

Eventually the Left will acknowledge a fellow socialist and start saying "Say what you like about that Hitler fellow, he had very good ideas about running the economy. And dealing with those nasty 'capitalists' too…………"

I have every sympathy with that bloke who got stabbed by that Islamic nut job.
But his dad is a bell-end. His dad made some statement along the lines of "my son was proud to the woke – the opposite of ignorant"
No. In your son's case the opposite of "woke" is "not stabbed to death by some Islamic nut job"

I'm beginning to suspect P3 is using this site for his own education, by posing as someone ignorant. Because otherwise, he really must be as stupid as his many utterances suggest.

I have been reading a biography of the rather peculiar writer Frederick Rolfe ('Baron Corvo') and for some unaccountable reason I thought I would post a few extracts here:
"this arrogant and haughty man .. his ambition was vast and unappeasable … his complaint was never against there being an establishment, but that he was not at the top of the pyramid"
"he was not a success there, and succeeded in irritating both students and superiors"
"he invariably abused … people who knew him personally had all been turned from friends to foes"
"he was quite blind to his faults of temperament … anyone who studies his life soon finds himself asking whether the man was perhaps mad"

M-146 was a state trunkline highway in the US state of Michigan that initially served as a bypass for traffic going around Port Huron and as a short cut for traffic between U.S. Highway 25 (US 25) and M-21. Later it connected to the Blue Water Bridge before it was truncated to its final form. Segments of M-146 still exist today as state highways as part of Interstate 94 (I-94) and I-69 and the Lapeer Connector.

Route description
As the highway last existed, its southern end was at an intersection with M-21 (Lapeer Road) in a residential area of Port Huron west of the Black River. Following what is today named the Lapeer Connector, M-146 ran northward for about  to an interchange with I-94/US 25 where it terminated.

History
When the route debuted in 1933 it served as a connector between US 25 in southwest Port Huron and M-21 along the west side of town. In 1954 a new approach was built from M-21 to the foot of the Blue Water Bridge, and M-146 was extended northward and easterly, designated along this new route. By 1958, this newer segment was converted to freeway specifications, and in 1964, with the completion of the I-94/US 25 freeway, M-146 was removed from that portion of the route. By the next year, the M-146 designation only remained along the stretch of freeway which now serves as the exit 274 interchange on I-94, and was removed from 24th Street through town. The alignment of the freeway stretch of M-146 was shifted slightly as well, allowing for a smoother transition between it and westbound I-94. In addition, the diamond interchange with Water Street along the Blue Water Bridge approach was reconstructed and appropriated into the alignment of I-94. In 1966, with the completion of a new freeway alignment for M-21 between Wadhams and downtown Port Huron, the M-146 designation was removed from the state trunkline system, and has not been used since. The connector between Lapeer Street and present-day I-94 is now known as the Lapeer Connector and Connector 69.
