Most people die from "moderately cold" conditions If you look at many of the "optimal temperature" curves above, you'll find that most of us spend most of the year a bit below the optimum. We most frequently experience temperatures a bit colder than is "best". This means most temperature-related deaths happen in "moderately cold" conditions, not on extremely cold or hot days. It's not because the mortality risk in this zone is the highest, but the amount of time spent there is. Again, this is not what most of us would think of as "cold conditions". In the UK, this would include the increased risk of dying on days with a temperature of 10°C or 15°C. For us in Scotland, that's not cold: that's what we would consider a "nice summer's day". This situation is not unique to the UK: moderate cold dominates temperature-related deaths across most of the world. The chart below comes from a study by Antonio Gasparrini and colleagues, published in The Lancet. •It estimates the share of deaths in each country that can be attributed to temperature but is broken down by moderate and extreme cold and heat. You can see that "moderate cold" dominates everywhere: from the UK and US to Thailand and Brazil.

Excerpt from the article: "But the bigger problem is how much of the media of 'the left' is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren't aware of or don't care to remedy."

He's a progressive liberal who also happens to be pro-gun and has a military background that is hard to bad mouth. It'll be difficult for Republicans to pull the "liberal pussy" card when a combat Marine with multiple tours is on the debate stage with Poliquin.

A photo of Smedley Butler with a quote attributed to him. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General. And during that period, I spent most of my time being a high class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. - Smedley Butler —

Interviewer: Nicholas Lezard has written 'Rowling can type, but Le Guin can write.' What do you make of this comment in the light of the phenomenal success of the Potter books? I'd like to hear your opinion of JK Rowling's writing style. Le Guin: I have no great opinion of it. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the "incredible originality" of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid's fantasy crossed with a "school novel", good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.

Quote from Stewart Brand In fall 1984, at the first Hackers Conference, I said in one discussion session: "On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other." That was printed in a report/transcript from the conference in the May 1985 Whole Earth Review, p. 49.
