Tal is mentioning looking right at the nailbed, where the capillaries are closest to the surface. She says there is an "underappreciated underutilized world of information" here, plus in your eye, and under your tongue. It's a great way to explore what's there.

Talking about allodynia in murine models. Allodynia is when pain is produced by a non-painful stimulus. If you give LPS, hypersensitivity to pain occurs (Note: LPS is lipopolysaccharide, which is often used as an infectious proxy) Male mice showed increased allodynia-- but not female mice

The PPE scandal has been exposed. Now we need accountability
Naomi Fulop argues that although the UK Covid-19 Inquiry has exposed serious systemic failures around the procurement of PPE, meaningful accountability remains largely absent

Medics, at all levels of responsibility, believe exercise is good and pain has to be tolerated. NICE reinforces these expectations hook, line and sinker. Six national institutions were cited in the Prevention of Future Deaths report that came out of Maeve's inquest because the failure is systemic.

In the foreground we just see a little of the leaf and fruit of the tree. In the mid ground, the large trunk of an ancient oak displays the bark. In the background we see the full tree canopy in all its splendour.

Probably too much to ask but it would be useful if we could keep in mind that this is a global bond sell off and therefore unlikely to be driven by UK policy.

80 years ago Keynes put his finger on many of the problems. But Ludwig von Mises classical economics - the economic theories of which Keynes had pointed out the problems - appealed rather more to the chaps with money, & so, as soon as they could, the Anglosphere ditched Keynes for von Mises.
