We have this huge pin oak tree in the front yard. Some call it a white oak, others call it a water oak, but around here, it's a pin oak. It's a beautiful tree, but it drops acorns.
When Belle and I moved into the house, we wanted a crepe myrtle in the front yard, so I planted one. Crepe myrtles are odd, decorative, flowering trees. When they are young, or when they are stressed, they are spindly. Some old-time growers would weave the spindly trunks together. Others would choose the strongest trunk and cull the others. It's a choice.
Back to my plight. The pin oak was close enough to the crepe myrtle that acorns would fall amongst the spindly trunks of the crepe myrtle. Some took root and over the past several years, the oak saplings grew into the crepe myrtle, choking it out. It looked like hell, and I needed to get a handle on it. But, I have elevated procrastination to an art form.
Yesterday I hooked the utility trailer to the lawn mower and got out that little chainsaw that I bought in February. Went out in the yard and started doing surgery on those oak saplings. The utility tailer is a 4X10 and over the next hour or so, I loaded it with oak saplings. I dragged it over to the burn pile. I was amazed at how muck oak I had cut our of that crepe myrtle. The trailer was stacked five feet high.
I was also amazed at how capable that little 6" chainsaw proved to be. That little saw had plenty of power and I could wield it like a scalpel. No complaints whatsoever. The crepe myrtle is unharmed, and the pin oak is feeling decidedly unwelcome.

Quality assurance and control measures – including wearing gloves when handling laboratory materials and samples – seek to reduce overestimating microplastic abundance. However, commonly used laboratory gloves release non-volatile residues, including stearate salts, that exhibit vibrational spectra similar to microplastics. In this work, we illustrate that dry surface contact with nitrile and latex laboratory gloves can cause overestimations of microplastics (mean 2000 false positives per mm2) when using traditional library matching approaches.
Mathis said Owens was shot in the left leg when a male subject at the skate park, an 18-year-old who was identified, returned fire at the Toyota.
He said officers learned while investigating that a male subject (Owens) was receiving treatment at Atrium Wilkes Medical Center for a gunshot wound he stated occurred on Chestnut Street.
Mathis said investigators interviewed multiple witnesses, identified two persons of interest and located the Toyota Highlander, unoccupied and with multiple bullet holes, on Fairmount Drive in North Wilkesboro. Mathis said no one else was injured or has been charged.

Scientific Evidence of What Those of Us Saw Who Worked in Cubicles When Corporate Takeovers Happened
Employees who are impressed by vague corporate-speak like “synergistic leadership,” or “growth-hacking paradigms” may struggle with practical decision-making, a new Cornell study reveals.
Published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, research by cognitive psychologist Shane Littrell introduces the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale (CBSR), a tool designed to measure susceptibility to impressive-but-empty organizational rhetoric.
“Corporate bullshit is a specific style of communication that uses confusing, abstract buzzwords in a functionally misleading way,” said Littrell, a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Arts and Sciences. “Unlike technical jargon, which can sometimes make office communication a little easier, corporate bullshit confuses rather than clarifies. It may sound impressive, but it is semantically empty.”
Although people anywhere can BS each other – that is, share dubious information that’s misleadingly impressive or engaging – the workplace not only rewards but structurally protects it, Littrell said. In a work setting where corporate jargon is already the norm, it’s easy for ambitious employees to use corporate BS to appear more competent or accomplished, accelerating their climb up the corporate ladder of workplace influence.
Corporate BS seems to be ubiquitous – but Littrell wondered if it is actually harmful. To test this, he created a “corporate bullshit generator” that churns out meaningless but impressive-sounding sentences like, "We will actualize a renewed level of cradle-to-grave credentialing” and “By getting our friends in the tent with our best practices, we will pressure-test a renewed level of adaptive coherence.”
He then asked more than 1,000 office workers to rate the “business savvy” of these computer-generated BS statements alongside real quotes from Fortune 500 leaders. Divided into four distinct studies, the research verified the scale as a statistically reliable measure of individual differences in receptivity to corporate bullshit, then, through use of established cognitive tests, made connections between receptivity to BS and analytic thinking skills known to be essential to workplace performance.

The Way is in […]LOS ANGELES — The case of a lifetime started with a putrid smell and a green garden hose sticking out of the side of a supposedly vacant warehouse in California farm country.
Inside the sprawling building on I Street in Reedley, code enforcement officer Jesalyn Harper found vials filled with liquid — some marked in English or Mandarin, others with just a code — that bore frightening labels such as “Malaria,” “COVID-19” and “HIV.” Refrigerators, lined up in columns along a wall, had labels that read “blood” and “Ebola.”
As she walked deeper into the warehouse, passing lab workers filling pregnancy test kits, she located the source of the smell that had brought her there — droppings from 1,000 lab-tested mice, she told The Times during a recent interview. The workers were nice enough, she said, but when she started asking questions she could feel the mood change.
“I realized I’m in trouble, and I need to get out of this building without tipping them off that I’m scared,” Harper said.
Her discovery blew open an elaborate criminal case with ties to California, Las Vegas and China. The investigation in Reedley found that the lab was part of an elaborate scheme to import COVID tests from China and pass them off as American made.
But there are some who fear the operation was much more complex than that. A congressional committee uncovered payments topping $1 million made to the operator of the Reedley business from banks in the People’s Republic of China.

Earlier in the evening of March 27, Andrew Tubbs got into a fight with his father, whom he lived with. While leaving their home, Andrew reportedly took a kitchen knife with him.
Andrew's father then contacted his grandson and Andrew’s son, 21-year-old Kaiden Tubbs.
When Kaiden arrived at the home, a fight ensued between him and his father, Andrew. During the fight, Andrew reportedly produced a knife. In response, Kaiden drew his legally-owned firearm and fired it, striking Andrew.
On the scene, the victim told officers that he was walking out of the Burlington Coat Factory when a group of people approached him. As the incident escalated, the group began assaulting him.
During the assault, the victim pulled out a gun, and a struggle ensued.

A potentially deadly disease known as "the white plague" has been rising in the U.S. since the pandemic, health officials have warned.
Tuberculosis (TB) gets its nickname from the pale appearance of those affected with the disease in 18th- and 19th-century Europe, according to historical medical literature.
After a dip in 2020 with the onset of COVID – likely due to underdiagnosis and reduced screenings, according to health experts – cases of TB have increased every year since.
Of course the doctors interviewed emphasize COVID-19 screwed up everything (because we panicked over a disease that was really only a serious risk to a small part of the population who needed extraordinary protection). They do finally acknowledge the elephant in the room:
Another factor is a return to international travel and increased migration from countries where TB is more prevalent, according to Vivekanandan.
Gee, do you think admitting millions of people from the Third World without even a pretense of medical screening might increase exposure to a population that has not been immunized could be dangerous. Not as dangerous as losing control of Congress!
