  2. RUSSIAN Oil Revenues collapse as Volumes Fall, Discounts Spread & The West Stops Buying Russian Oil [Click] And it is going to get a lot worse in December. Russia will probably have to reduce oil production, which will seriously damage both oil wells and pipelines because Russia has no equivalent of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve. They also have little way to increase exports by sea—there aren’t enough ships, and both shipping companies and insurers don’t want to do business with them. And oil was their biggest source of income.

    1. I so hope this stops Putin. The world has had enough...especially the devastated Ukrainians (more power to them) and the oppressed, deluded Russians.

  4. Washington Post: Congressional investigators are looking for dozens of pricey mementos gifted to former president Donald Trump and his family members by foreign governments. [Click] “The New York Times [Click] first reported that the State Department could not fully account for gifts Trump and other White House officials received during their final year in office because the White House failed to provide the agency with a list of what officials received from foreign governments before leaving office. The office was in “total disarray,” according to testimony taken by the committee.”

    1. Beware of overinterpretation, puddle; a 1% change in A1c is probably within the combined uncertainties of the two measurements. I recently had a thyroid test that was quite a bit higher than any of my previous ones; waited a month and repeated it combined with a related test and it came back not just normal but validated by the other test. Lab error? Sheer cussedness? No way of knowing. One of the nice things about A1c is that the patient doesn't have to be fasting.

    2. And if a guy who worked a long time in a lab says this...that's worth marking!

  7. New design of particle accelerator usies laser to accelerate electrons nearly to the speed of light. [Click] Only 20 cm in length—conventional electromagnetic accelerators would have to be at least hundreds of meters in length to do the same.
