A McKinsey study of more than 1,000 large companies across 15 countries reveals that 36 per cent of employers with a diverse workforce were more likely to have above-average financial returns.
36% were “more likely”…? Do they have the financial statements for these companies or not? If they do, why do they need to speculate on what’s “more likely” – why can’t they just tell us that they do or don’t? And if they don’t have the financials, on what basis are they estimating what’s “likely”?
And I note that the article doesn’t say what percentage were “more likely” to have below average returns, so why are we expected to draw any conclusions from the statement?
Maybe I’m overthinking it. But I’m pretty confident the journalist isn’t.

“Steve Kates has had a stroke”
Thoughts and prayers.
But question remain. The study I had in mind wasn’t about whole blood replacement it was about stripping amyloid from the blood and had a similar result. Whole blood replacement may not even be necessary and is unrealistic. That’s the problem with this recent research because they should have advanced the research. For myself that is very important because given the presence of various peripheral immune cells in the CNS I wanted to know how important that and if the removal of amyloid from the blood is significant in that regard because phagocytosis(consuming) of amyloid by microglia at least and probably other immune cells shifts the mode towards a more inflammatory type(ie. M1-M2 balance)
Of course the other issue is that controversy regarding amyloid as the primary driver when Tau often appears to be the critical issue.

Abstract:
Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia among the elderly, and with the ever-increasing size of this population, cases of Alzheimer’s disease are expected to triple over the next 50 years. Consequently, the development of treatments that slow or halt the disease progression have become imperative to both improve the quality of life for patients and reduce the health care costs attributable to Alzheimer’s disease. Here, we demonstrate that the active component of marijuana, 9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), competitively inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as well as prevents AChE-induced amyloid -peptide (A) aggregation, the key pathological marker of Alzheimer’s disease. Computational modeling of the THC-AChE interaction revealed that THC binds in the peripheral anionic site of AChE, the critical region involved in amyloidgenesis. Compared to currently approved drugs prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, THC is a considerably superior inhibitor of A aggregation, and this study provides a previously unrecognized molecular mechanism through which cannabinoid molecules may directly impact the progression of this debilitating disease.
There are many studies pointing to benefits.

Advertising anecdote.
I stepped out of the graphic design world, but a good friend stayed on, basically computer formatting and website design. But, she was asymmetrically gorgeous and drank beer freely with a chat-to-anyone heart which endeared her to the whole building, so she soon got to tag along to pitches, meeting new clients, basically learned to talk the talk that goes with sales and marketing, ie marketing the firm which then did the worky stuff to market other people’s firms. Perth was a small pond then, old timers can probably guess which of the three or four firms it was.
Anyhoo, along came a client who the management thought was a bit infra dig- warehouse haberdashery or something. Not the lotteries commission/sports stuff where the awards were harvested, b ut bread and butter money for the firm, print, catalogues, tv, radio, website. Hotcakes was sent in to meet and greet the daggy dude, boss said “I’ll sit in, don’t put your foot in it, but the floor is yours, show me that you can do what a rolled gold creative genius and slick pitcher like I can do”.
And do her stuff she did, over a few meetings through the week. Left out the certified heritage of the design firm, talked delivery to the haberdasher, got straight to the nuts and bolts, volumes and timelines.
But, brilliantly, left out the design wank poseury.
You want Dockers colour scheme? Sure why the hell not, purple and green would be slow death to a fishmonger, but why the hell not, the field is wide open.

Righto, well, I’m the sole screen operator, so I’ll mock it all up, and send through some layouts first thing tomorrow.
The boss was appalled, and stunned at the same time, but she’d signed up an ambitious startup flanellette czar, for life, across multiple platforms, and no-one at the awards nights ever needed to know about it.
She told the top floor martini lounge to put the champagne buckets away, signed the contracts and went down the road on friday night, her and the fam clinked glasses over carbonara. Turned up Monday and asked the boss if it was too presumptive to pencil them in for the stocktake sale cycle.

Just checked on the Qld Health stats.
They show 92.8% “fully vaccinated.”.Only a few days ago they said about 37% not had 3rd shot. Pretty sure most of those 37% would have had their 2nd jab over 6 months ago.
Federal Health,after reducing time from 2nd to 3rd, said after 6 months would no longer be considered fully vaccinated.
Yet again they are playing games with the statistics to make it appear better than the reality.
Meanwhile yet another article says epidemiologists now saying real number of cases probably 16 million. Similar to my rejected comment on Saturday where I guessed 15 million which would indicate our hospitalisation and death rates far less serious than the pripanganda would have us believe.
They think we are idiots.
However propanganda works when you have a population that mainly pays no attention to what is going on.

Much of the media these days are so complicit in the leftist worldview that they just lie about things we know are the opposite of what they are saying.
The Beeb’s John Simpson has a show called Unspun World, whose title is meant to assure the audience that he’s an honest broker, a truth teller.
This week, in his final show before a WEB, he said that some in the UK advocate for a written constitution. Maybe they do, but wait for this:
“The USA has a written constitution, but Trump very nearly subverted it.”
As most of us would be only too aware, the rabid left Democrats have been trying to trash the constitution in so many ways that one is in danger of losing count. But very few MSM people are going to tell you the truth about that, or the 2020 election.
And if you’re waiting to see the GOP landslide in November, don’t get your hopes up too far too soon. Universal mail-in ballots will once again be called for, with no proof of identity. Why? Because covid is still on the march and the same old same old mandates will be started up again.
Leak Jr nails Albo. How long before the KRuddy 2.0 moment?
Hell of an effort. Hard to comprehend what that would have required. Some of his putting during the tournament defied belief.
“But very few MSM people are going to tell you the truth about that, or the 2020 election.”
We’re no longer told the truth about anything by the MSM. The Oz media is no better than the US media. Over the last few days, a supposedly right of centre media outlet, The Australian, has been running endless cretinous sob stories about the female Muslim scum presently rotting in no man’s land in Syria/Turkey. None of these stories have asked hard questions, even basic questions such as why did these women jet off from Australia to Lebanon and Turkey to become wives of IS butchers. Were they enamoured of the ideology? Do they now eschew the ideology? What atrocities did they witness? What atrocities did they participate in? We know the truth, which is that these female cockroaches were attracted to the IS ideology and to the IS butchers but you don’t get any of that analysis from the sob stories, instead we get disingenuous lies and sobs about how they were “tricked” and they just want to come home and go to school. We’re being deliberately gaslighted and buttered up by an disgraceful MSM so as to bring these female cockroaches home and every story in the Oz has an obligatory picture of the cockroaches’ children to supposedly pull at our heart strings.
Effing joke. We owe these women nothing and we owe the children nothing. They weren’t born here unlike, as Rosie said the other day, the Sharrouf children.
It’s quite simple, I don’t want these cockroaches and their children back in Australia. This is a classic example of Popper’s “tolerating the intolerant”. We bring them back to Australia at our own peril.
It’s not because they’re lesbians. It’s not because because they’re squealy heavily-subsidised pretend-sport attention seekers.
This offensive pair of nobodies should be publicly drowned in a swimming pool full of derro vomit because they’re approaching the business of having a child as one would pick out curtains. The Hun:

I believe Iraq was strategic. Securing Iraq and Afghanistan as allies (that didn’t work out) would have encircled Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran.
That is where most terrorists came from and al Qaida had its most notable antecedents form in Syria around 2004. Syria was also a terrorists training ground in the 1980s. (A lot of which was ultimately Soviet funded).

The Paywallian is running another 3 ISIS brides stories. It is clearly another one of their campaigns. Take confidence they rarely amount to anything, although you get the feeling Albo will give new meaning to the word jellyback.
“Lionising the Assad family was bizarre, alt righties.”
It’s the Middle East. I don’t and have never “lionised” the Assad family. The Assads are very nasty people but given the choice between Assad’s Syria and a Syria run by IS, well, there isn’t much choice is there? Syria under the Assads is strongly secular Syria and Christians and other minorities are protected and women have a lot more freedom than they do in most other Muslim societies.
Ensuring civil and external security is the primary if not sole raison d’être of all governments.
If you don’t have that, you are practically and morally no better than anarchy (which unfairly gets a bad rap). Your whole of government policy automatically fails.

China’s debt trap: Bankrupt Sri Lanka falls into crisis and 9 nations are on the brink of bankruptcy
China Insights
After emerging from a civil war in 2009, Sri Lanka, a Southeast Asian country, grew to become a middle- to a high-income country in less than a decade. But all this changed when Sri Lanka joined the “One Belt, One Road” project initiated by Beijing. On July 5th, 2022, the Sri Lankan government declared state bankruptcy, followed by massive public protests and a direct storming of the presidential palace. On the 14th, after fleeing to Singapore, the President emailed his resignation letter to the Speaker of Parliament.
Have decision-makers in Sri Lanka ever done a risk assessment of the projects in question? Sri Lankan leaders aren’t “too simple and sometimes naïve” people, in the words of former CCP leader Jiang Zemin. But it isn’t hard for the CCP to handle them. In fact, the CCP has rich theoretical guidance and practical experience in this regard.

They were told it would never work when they mixed 21 different clans into the one township, and when the inevitable happened, they just doubled down.
Places like Wadeye make the whole “on country” meme obvious as the farce it is. If they were going to live “on country”, they would return to the “country” of their tribe or clan.
What they really want at places like Wadeye is continued access to all the white man’s “stuff”.
I doubt that many would be able to locate their group’s “country”. The phrase is simply something that they have learned can be relied on to turn soft-headed white leftists even softer in the head. Even if they could find it, their ability to live there in the old way is long since lost.

What is astonishing in the report are the figures on employees in the industry. Currently there are 100,000, but there had once been 40,000 – 50,000 more. That’s not really much when measured against a total of more than 40 million jobs subject to social security contributions. Renewable energies are often portrayed as a job miracle machine, but the potential is limited and modest, especially compared to other industries.
Was in a QBD book shop yesterday and after not seeing them on the shelf asked about :
Laptop from Hell by Miranda Divine
Fauci by Kennedy Jr
Rigged by Mollie Hemingway
Only had Laptop which was actually on the shelf but hard to notice as a slim paperback placed side on.
The most prominently displayed book in politics section was the autobiography of former FBI boss Comey. That however was not on my list to buy.
You suspect that number is carefully monitored by public sector unions who accept their members getting leapfrogged and a turn at the trough for time served.
Fair to say most bookshops (and writers festivals) would not be a safe space for Cat contributors.

Only muddle headed progressives don’t understand.
The phrase “muddle headed progressives” is severely tautological.
Renewable energies are often portrayed as a job miracle machine, but the potential is limited and modest, especially compared to other industries.
Jobs are a *cost* not a benefit. More jobs per GW – h = more cost per GW – h.
Renewable energy is low density so inherently expensive in capital cost.
A week ago we drove past a solar array farm just past Oakey on the way to Dalby. Mrs Eyrie commented that from the orientation of all too many of the tracking panels it was more a “disarray”.
The Burnet Institute’s Professor Crabb says Australia needs a “covid reset”, including:
vaccines and the need to be fully vaccinated,
continuing to test and isolate if positive,
a focus on clean air and better ventilation, and
the ongoing use of masks
He stopped just short of lockdowns.

I have mentioned before, German populace is currently being expectation prepped for low energy supplies this coming Winter. Home heating max setting 16-17c, hot water for 2-3 hours a day. Electric car sales are now on the wane as risk you may not be able to fully charge.
A few cold showers and no car should get them out of that ‘life is better back in the cave’ thinking.

The Oz article article also had head of AMA mentioning Governments might have to prepare for possible loss of freedoms.

Desperate For Energy Alternatives, Europe Pours Billions Into Hydrogen Research (17 Jul)
Complete fantasy. Hydrogen takes 50 kWh/kg of electricity to produce. The energy content is 143 MJ/kg. Current wholesale electricity price is about 350 euros/MWh, so the electricity cost to produce hydrogen is (1000 / 143) x (350 / 1000) x 50 = euro 122.37 per GJ, or $121.28/GJ.
The current gas price in the US is $7.083/mmbtu, which is $6.713/GJ. (Of course gas is crazy in the EU right now so I’m using the US price as a saner baseline.)
So just the electricity cost alone is 18 times the cost of the equivalent amount of natural gas.
And no mention of other preventatives.
– lose some weight
– do a bit more exercise
– go out into the fresh air and grab some VitaminD
– boost your immune system if necessary with supplements
– keep your filthy hands clean for goodness sake
and
– don’t cough and sneeze all over other people.
It isn’t that difficult.
Hard to say but it happens periodically with Teh Paywallian and other Murdoch papers. Remember the series of Phoebe Burgess stories? Died after a few days when it was apparent it was going nowhere.

Making the Most of the Coming Biden Boom by Paul Krugman
I’m surprised the NYT hasn’t consigned that one to the forgettery.
I wonder what a Grattan Institute study would show about the Victorian and Queensland judiciaries.
Of the many things that have mystified me during the Covid era (& they are many!) the most perplexing is why our medical tyros have missed a perfect opportunity to improve the overall health of the population.
The initial apparent crisis in early 2020 caused our household to undergo a radical overhaul of our diet and overall health. I am actually grateful for it. It was a wake-up call.
But why the mob who normally dictate healthy lifestyle to us dropped the ball is perplexing. It would not necessarily have negated their vax crusade & would have been its own reward.
Like everything else these days, it doesn’t make sense.
Ah-ha. So that’s why Jason Soon once described Lucy Liu as “too gooky” for his liking.
Eyelid elitism and shaming is a real thing in Asia:
Wandi was asked to get double-eyelid surgery, but she refused to conform to China’s beauty standards.
Closing hospital clinics didn’t make a lot of sense either, and has no doubt led to a lot of undiagnosed cancer cases. The same goes for delaying elective surgeries when the surgeons and associated staff were available to work – what was the rationale?
I noted last week that the ABC is fishing around for the stories of people who had surgery delayed or were otherwise unable to access health care during the restriuctions. It will be interesting to see what they come up with if it goes to air.
Interesting development.
It’s because their recommendations are distributed from above (big food/big pharma) and are NOT intended to make you healthy, but to make you docile, dependent and ill.

ACT commits to phasing out petrol cars from 2035
Royce Kurmelovs
Nine in 10 cars sold in the territory will be zero emissions by 2030 under a new plan being launched by the ACT government this week.
The Zero Emissions Vehicle Strategy will commit the territory government to phasing out light petrol cars from 2035 and is expected to include new incentives and other programs to encourage people to switch out their old petrol vehicles.
Transport emissions currently account for nearly two thirds – 60% – of the territory’s CO2 emissions.
The announcement builds on news from Queensland over the weekend with the northern state planning to expand its electric vehicle charging infrastructure into the outback.
When completed, Queensland’s charging network will be 5,400km long, opening up new travel destinations for more than 10,000 drivers in the state who have gone electric to date.
