Grizzly Bear DNA is the Langauge of the People that Live with Him

The Grizzly Bears and the Indiginous humans that have shared the same geographic space along the coast of British Columbia are integrally tied to one another beyond anything that anyone could imagine. Researcheers from the Raincoast Conservation Foundation, with other working groups working in collaboration with them, began looking for Bear DNA with no idea that it would lead them to discover that the DNA of these Grizzly Bears map right on to the structure of the language these indigionous people have been using.

‘Mind blowing’: Grizzly bear DNA maps onto Indigenous language families | Science

The bears and Indigenous humans of coastal British Columbia have more in common than meets the eye. The two have lived side by side for millennia in this densely forested region on the west coast of Canada. But it’s the DNA that really stands out: A new analysis has found that the grizzlies here form three distinct genetic groups, and these groups align closely with the region’s three Indigenous language families.

It’s a “mind-blowing” finding that shows how cultural and biological diversity in the region are intertwined, says Jesse Popp, an Indigenous environmental scientist at the University of Guelph who was not involved with the work.

Washington: Google and Facebook on Monday unveiled plans for a new undersea internet cable connecting Singapore, Japan, Guam, the Philippines, Taiwan and Indonesia.

The cable project dubbed Apricot would be some 12,000 kilometers (nearly 7,500 miles) and be operational in 2024 subject to regulatory approvals, the companies said in separate statements.

The project announced by the US firms and regional and global partners “will deliver much-needed internet capacity, redundancy, and reliability to expand connections in the Asia-Pacific region,” said Facebook engineering manager Nico Roehrich.

“The Apricot cable is part of our ongoing effort to expand global network infrastructure and better serve the more than 3.5 billion people around the world who use our services every month,” Roehrich added.

Earlier this year the companies announced another cable project dubbed Echo connecting the United States, Singapore, Guam and Indonesia.

“The Echo and Apricot cables are complementary submarine…

Americans born between 1997 and 2012—characterized as Gen Z—are still deciding what to do with the Bible while exhibiting openness to Scripture, according to American Bible Society’s (@americanbible) 11th annual State of the Bible report.

“Many in Gen Z are coming of age without the wisdom and comfort that others have found in the Bible,” says John Farquhar Plake, PhD and director of ministry intelligence for American Bible Society. “More than other generations, Gen Z is uncertain about the value and uniqueness of the Bible for their daily lives.”

Facebook uses fact-checkers to censor speech they disagree with. These fact-checkers (Lead Stories, Snopes, Politifact, Factcheck.org, Science Feedback) are often biased and unprofessional people. Many of them are just losers who dropped math in grade 9, and partied their way through journalism “school” while half drunk.

The Post Millenial explains:

 

On Friday, it was revealed that the co-founder and CEO of the popular fact-checking site Snopes David Mikkelson has been writing articles using plagiarized content under a pseudonym for years.

A Buzzfeed News investigation found that Mikkelson wrote and published over 50 articles containing plagiarized material between 2015 and 2019.

“After inquiries from BuzzFeed News, Snopes conducted an internal review and confirmed that under a pseudonym, the Snopes byline, and his own name, Mikkelson wrote and published 54 articles with plagiarized material,” wrote Buzzfeed.

China Showing World Tech What Awaits Them by How They Treat Their Own Companies

China has begun its crackdown on its own wanna-be corpo-statees such as have emerged in the US primarily, but in other nation-states as well, mostly in Europe.  These corpo-states are the new big biz giants of current year, Big Tech, especially Social Media and eCommerce Sites.  But while the big tech companies outside of China celebrate the taking down of some of theri competitors, they should pay attention to how China is treating their own companies to consider maybe potentially giving up on attempting to dance with the CCP for the promise of gaining access to that massive market.

A Chinese Warning for U.S. Tech

Big U.S. tech companies must be watching with glee as China cracks down on its homegrown technology companies. They are thrilled not only because they are seeing potential global competitors in e-commerce, music licensing, ride sharing, food delivery and more weakened, but because they now have a powerful card to play at home.

It started last October when Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba and its affiliate Ant Financial, complained at the Shanghai Bund Summit that regulators were too cautious: “There is no innovation in this world without risk.” He also said Chinese banks have a pawnshop mentality, requiring collateral before they lend, unlike Ant, which was about to go public, which uses algorithms to assess creditworthiness. Mr. Ma’s criticisms were correct, but he angered the powers that be. Even though shares for Ant Financial’s initial public offering were 870 times oversubscribed, the Shanghai Stock Exchange effectively canceled the IPO in early November….

Kabul’s Fall Marks End of

As the Taliban enter the capital of Afghanistan, Kabul, it marks the end of  a 20 year war, what history most likely will look back at as a singular failure and waste of resources for the United Statesn of America.  Perhapss history might also observe how the war served to mostly perpetuate the boogeyman, or scapegoat back home, the Islamo-Fascist (a very real  threat to any and all, but not so all-powerful and pervasive as we were sold they were back in the early years after 9/11).  Perhaps history might also note how it served as a proving ground for the laatest lethal tech, with Afghanis serving as shooting pidgeons.  Perhaps.

The Taliban fanned out across the capital, and a group of fighters entered the presidential palace in Kabul. Suhail Shaheen, a Taliban spokesman and negotiator, told The Associated Press that the militants would hold talks in the coming days aimed at forming an “open, inclusive Islamic government.”

A Taliban official earlier said the group would announce the creation of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan from the palace, but those plans appeared to be on hold. That was the name of the country under Taliban rule before the militants were ousted by U.S.-led forces after the 9/11 attacks. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to brief the media.

Does America Need to Take in the 1 Million Afghanees That Supprted Us?

Calls for the US to consider rescuing those who risked their lives to dare to dream of the Afghanistan Americans promised them have only been rising, and they are coming from elements of the left and the right, though the calls themselves are still not a prevailing voice, either on the left or the right.  The question is one to consider in light of our role in creating, essentially, bullseyes on significant portions of Afghanis, perhaps at least 1 million.  Can we as a nation take in 1 million Afghan refugees that are now in danger of being harmed, enslaved, and killed?  Or, perhaps the better question might be, should we feel morally obliged to?

Fannie Mae Factors Rent Payments Into Credit

A move anounced by Fannie Mae to consider Rent Payments as a factor in assessing credit score could be an opportunity for renters to build good credit,  or just another way people who are struggling are further burdened in their effort to escape their lower state.  The mortgage giant announced plans to factor in rent payment history starting September 18th, 2021.

Fannie Mae to Add Rent Payments to Credit Evaluations

Excerpt:

 

It has been under discussion for
what seems like forever, but Fannie Mae will begin to recognize non-reported types
of credit performance in qualifying a loan
. On September 18, it will launch a
new feature in its automated underwriting system that will incorporate
consumers’ rent payments in credit evaluations.

The process, which will require
borrower consent, will enable single-family lenders to automatically identify
recurring rent payments on an applicant’s bank statements. The company says its
new Desktop Underwriting (DU) enhancement creates new opportunities for
homeownership for qualified renters with limited credit history but a strong
rent payment history while still promoting safe and sound lending,

Only consistent rent payments will
be considered.
Any records of missed or inconsistent rent payments identified
in the bank statements will not negatively affect the applicant’s ability to
qualify for a loan sold to Fannie Mae. Rent payments that appear in the…

Corporate DNC Seeks to

As the DNC and the Corpowoketarianz become more and more dependent on one another for power, they will inceasingly walk lock step with each other in terms of the types of human action governnce they are willing to attempt to affect using coercive action, be it the direct action of the state, or the soft-power extension of the state (the part the DNC controls), the Corpowoketarianz, the American international corporations that all decided to go all-in with the Corpowoketarianz agenda and surrender any semblance of Bill-of-Rights-Based Americanism in how they treat their employees and their customers.

The Corpowoketarianz are most likely at the zenith of their power, and I have little doubt the government-powered faction of this unholy alliance will eventually move to strike down the power the corpowoketarianz currently poesses, but, for now, the state and the corporation are one, and will be for the near-foreseeable future.  Texas is becoming a battleground of sorts, a proving ground, really for corowoketarianz power.  If the corpowoketarianz, through the use of their considerably market monopoly power, a power protected directly by state guns, can flip Texas blue, then the end is near for all political parties outside the DNC-Corpowoketarianz one.

Once that power consolidation is complete, the infighting between the very wealthy families of tech and the very wealthy families of legacy (government and legacy business) will begin.  I am betting the old guard will eventually purge and claim the toys  of the new guard (the wealthy new corpowoketarianz feudal lords and ladies) for themselves.  But let’s hope we never have to ask theat question, as it is on that will never be answered if they faill to consolidate political party power.

In Texas, the GOP is against mandates in general regarding Covid.  The official DNC policy is mandate and control and capitalize on this ’emergency’ to continue to sieze wealth from the many that is given to their billionaire allies while also developing habits of police-state submission and expectation from the masses.  And our American corporations, the corpowoketarianz, have signed on, for the sake of their government ally, their brother in seditious arms, the DNC.

This is not to suggest that I know exactly how to handle our Covid reality, or that mandates, be it vaccines or masks, might or might not be justified, this is to suggest that the usefulness to we the poors, the powerless, is the least of the concerns or motivations for the DNC and the Corpowoketarinz that do its soft power bidding.

Texas GOP’s All-In Focus on Culture War Spurs Corporate Backlash – Bloomberg

From www.bloomberg.com
2021-08-12 15:17:31

Excerpt:

Business and politics are colliding in Texas, where Republican Governor Greg Abbott is facing backlash over a conservative social agenda that companies say will make it harder for them to attract and retain the best talent.

The latest flare-up came Wednesday, when Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, a Democrat, issued an executive order that requires masks be worn inside businesses and schools, defying Abbott’s ban on such mandates. Issues like voting rights and the treatment of transgender children have also recently divided the governor and corporations operating in the state. Dell Technologies Inc., Apple Inc., Facebook Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. have publicly criticized priorities of the Republican-dominated state government.

It’s an awkward position for a politician who has painted himself as a champion of economic development, ready to tout successes in luring Oracle Corp., Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co. and Tesla Inc. to the Lone Star State and helping oversee the nation’s biggest jobs increase from 2010 to 2020. But facing re-election next year along with declining popularity and ultra-conservative challengers in the Republican primary vote, Abbott has pushed for legislation that plays well with his base even if it’s increasingly at odds with major corporations.

“Since the time George W. Bush was governor, we have seen that economic development as a cornerstone for growth for the Republican party in Texas,” said Jim Riddlesperger, a political science professor at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. “What he is doing here is playing to the audience for the Republican primary and not to the general public.”

There’s a risk to that strategy come general election time, amid an influx of newcomers from companies relocating to the state as well as pandemic-era transplants lured by warm weather and zero income taxes. Many of those new residents have a more liberal disposition than life-long Texans, threatening the Republican party’s dominance of the state, which boasts the world’s ninth-largest economy.

Belarus Cancels Extremist News Sites

PGC – There are a lot of people out there that call themselves ‘leftists’ who also claim to support consensual exchange, while at the same time continue to support the DNC version of leftism that uses moral supremacist tactics to create police state powers for corporations and governments alike.

Though warned long ago that their tactic of ‘punching Nazis’ would lead to what we see today, Corpowoketarianizm, where their very core ideals have been commodified and altered to fit the agenda of the same billionaires these leftists claim to want to stop, these consensual-seeking leftists continued to stand behind the DNC as corpowoketarianizm spread throughout the land, starting in our colleges and universities, spreading like the plague in social media, then extending to our financial institutions which emboldened the rest of the corporate world to join in with full zeal, seeing the opportunity to elimiate competition among the poors by perepatuating divisions amongst the powerless.

Now we see in Belarus, a dictatorship in the  truest sense of the term, the tactic of stigmatiizng people based on the label extremist being used to shut down news outlets that don’t advance the party line.  It’s the government itself that’s doing this, though, to be sure, if government had an industry in its back pocket, it too would be happy to use that soft power over direct state power.  They must envy the position of the DNC compared to themselves.

They had to actually pass anti-extremist laws, which was easy enough  to do in a disarmed country with no Bill of Rights sown into the fabric of the narratives of a people, such as we still have in America today.  They passed the laws and had no legal roadblocks to impede them such as the government would face in America, even now.

They are well within the ethical standards of the corpowoketarianz that currently occupy our lands.  They are using the label extremist to cancel the extremists, just as the corporations are using that label to cancel opposition to the one-party–to-be-DNC.  Eventually, it is hoped by the DNC, they will be able to declare people extremists too and use the full power of the state to cancel them as well.

Belarusian court bans Tut.by and affiliated news website Zerkalo.io as ‘extremist’

Excerpt:

 

Stockholm, August 16, 2021 – Belarus authorities should refrain from contesting the appeal of news website Zerkalo.io against its designation as “extremist,” and cease using the country’s anti-extremism laws to stifle independent reporting, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

On May 18, authorities raided the offices of the independent news website Tut.by, interrogated about 130 members of its staff, blocked the outlet’s website, and detained at least a dozen employees for suspected tax evasion, according to CPJ reporting from the time and Anna Kaltygina, former news desk manager at Tut.by, who spoke to CPJ in a phone interview.

Several of the outlet’s employees fled Belarus, and on July 8 launched Zerkalo.io as a temporary replacement for Tut.by, according to Kaltygina, who now works as the acting editor-in-chief of Zerkalo.io. Belarus authorities blocked access to the website within the country immediately after its launch,…
