In our own world, cattle can nicely suppress gras and if pfroperly managed this can double the natural stocking rate.. Integrating sheep or goats allows shrub cover to be managed along with weed plants for cattle. So just for a proper sustainable range operatilon we need at least two separate grazers. Under the Mastodon, Mammoth culture, we find that trees and shrub are harvested likely in preference to grass and odds are the pine forest... read more

A new BBC video about antisemitismThe most-watched video on the BBC News website this morning is a thoughtful piece by Jewish BBC reporter Tom Brada headlined *Anti-Semitism: 2021 likely to be 'the worst year on record'*. Oddly, the BBC is promoting it on Twitter under a different headline - one with a question mark, *British, Jewish: Is Anti-Semitism on the Rise?* The report is interesting and timely, though it doesn't tackle the question of *who* is behind the rise in antisemitism and, curiously, tackles the subject of 'Israel and antisemitism in the UK' through a single voice: a Jewish critic of Israel. read more
