Abadi Govt’s Carrot And Stick Approach Working With Iraq’s Protest Movement

This morning, as mentioned in my last post, the podiatrist cut a granuloma out of my big toe, where the nail used to be, and cauterized it.

I'm under orders to stay off my feet for a while, and not do anything interesting, exciting or energetic involving my tootsies. I'll catch up with blogging again tomorrow morning. Peter
BWorld 231, Lessons from the Energy Policy Development Program

Medicaid Expansion Boosts Employment Among Disabled People
States that have expanded Medicaid coverage as part of the Affordable Care Act have higher numbers of individuals with disabilities employed that states that did not. Medicaid is a taxpayer-funded program that provides free or low-cost health coverage to low-income people, the elderly, and people with disabilities. As many states are considering work requirements for Medicaid eligibility, the authors of a new paper believe Medicaid expansion is acting as an employment incentive for people with disabilities. read more

Why The Young Get More Infections Than Adults - Evolution
It isn't just human adults who regard youth as disease factories, in many species the young are often more susceptible to infection than adults, even after accounting for prior exposure to infection. Evolution has an explanation for that. But like a lot of things in evolution, it may seem puzzling. It shouldn't make sense, since dying young or becoming infertile due to infection means organisms will be unable to reproduce, but many species may have evolved to prioritize growth over immunity while maturing. And that complexity may be why immunity varies with age in different species... more »
Vaping Helps Smokers Quit - Even If They Don't Want To
A new study shows that smokers who switch to nicotine vapor alternatives (e.g. e-cigarettes or iQOS) may be better able to stay smoke-free in the long term - even if they didn't set out to quit smoking. And that even people who didn't want to stop smoking have eventually quit because they found vaping more enjoyable. E-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is the addictive component of cigarettes also, but it's toxic chemicals in smoke that cause the harms of smoking. That is why e-cigarettes have caught on as an aid to help people quit smoking for good, whereas patches and gums are ... more »

Trump And NATO Bureaucracy
Contrary to mainstream thinking, the NATO summit did not set the United States against the other members of the Alliance, but President Trump against the intergovernmental senior administration.

Death of NWO Announced by Trump - Putin With Turley
Please do watch this presentation. We are given a deep insight of just how universal the NWO meme was put into the minds of any available susceptible politician. This was a funded effort by the financial elites and deeply influenced by Nazism as its underlying philosophy. This is my opinion. It may never be proven but once defeated it may never be proven either. But the boots were there and they never quit trying to find players. The big story is that Trump will be systematically promoting democratic nationalism around the world besides just in the USA. Thus we have a ne... more »
