Pollinators send good vibrations – and plants respond to sweet science news (Dr. Kevin)
Is breakfast really the most important meal of the day? BBC (Robin K). Lordie I heard from the professional sports mafia decades ago that this issue was largely resolved. In a high-quality study, participants fed one meal, the same calories adjusted to their weight, and Acer at dinner. The comments that ate only at dinner were more weight than other groups. The explanation was that the body, which was asked to function without food, downregulated its metabolism on the assumption that it was in a starving state. So my companion recommended eating 100 calories in an hour or so, not to think that your body might be starving and that your body might be starving.

China?
The 93.5% collection on China’s battery input indicates that the US is no longer trying to compete within China’s cost structure, but rather is trying to completely suspend its advantage. This move echoes across EVs, grid storage, defense technology, and broader clean energy transitions.

L’Affaire Jeffrey Epstein
Pam Bondy, Trump Loyalist engulfed by the Epstein Affair Financial Times
Trump sues after the Wall Street Journal’s Epstein Story The Hill. I may be wrong, but the Journal (like the pro-Dow Jones) does not have a broadcast license in the US, so it is not threatened by the FCC threat. They threatened Fox News, another Murdoch Holding that had nothing to do with Journal Story, and were able to climb even further up Trump’s base. Therefore, folding odds are lower than we saw on ABC and CBS. The Journal will then make discoveries to Trump to demonstrate the accuracy of the report. But motion practice (see Kentucky Retirement System for examples) allowed the Trump team to easily pull out the timetable until after Trump left (estimated).
