Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
You know the drill by now. I don't like talking about Black history. Americans know Black history.
I want to talk about white American history. In other words, racism, and the erasure of both positive achievements of, and injustices suffered by, non-white people.
That's what people don't know.

Trump EPA Approves Two More ‘Forever Chemical’ Pesticides for Use on Most Widely Grown U.S. Crops
Two new “forever chemical” pesticides are among multiple dangerous pesticides approved today by the Trump Environmental Protection Agency for use on food crops, including corn, wheat, kiwi, oats, peas and coffee. The controversial approvals come just days after the Supreme Court sided with Bayer and the Trump administration in limiting Americans’ ability to sue pesticide companies for harms linked to pesticides. Today’s approvals include two new PFAS pesticides never before used in th…

HenTwin: A Multimodal Digital Twin Framework for Longitudinal Biological State Monitoring in Laying Hens

Abstract: Early-life monitoring in laying hens remains constrained by fragmented single-modality sensing and the absence of formal system-level state representations. HenTwin, a multimodal digital twin framework implemented as a five-layer IoT architecture, formalizes flock-level multimodal biological state dynamics from hatch through 25 weeks of age. A four-dimensional biological state vector integrating body surface temperature, acoustic energy entropy, band energy ratio, and optical-flow-based motion is defined, with the temperature-humidity index treated as an exogenous environmental input to preserve intervention capability. A discrete-time state transition model is estimated from 25 weeks of longitudinal multimodal data collected from 150 Lohmann LSL-Lite hens across five controlled rooms at the Atlantic Poultry Research Centre, Dalhousie University. The estimated transition matrix exhibits modality-specific persistence while remaining asymptotically stable. Perturbation analysis demonstrates that a sustained 2.0 THI increase produces a stable long-run acoustic entropy elevation of 0.54 nats, approximately one-quarter of the entire 1.87-nat developmental decline observed across the study period. Pettitt change-point detection identifies coordinated multimodal developmental state transitions at Weeks 12-14. Cross-room validation suggests that structural transition parameters are partially transferable across rooms, whereas environmental input sensitivity requires room-specific calibration, supporting a two-tier IoT deployment architecture. Leave-one-out cross-validation demonstrates consistent out-of-sample model performance. HenTwin takes a first step toward formal, state-aware digital twin inference in precision livestock farming.

Listening to NPRATC, a Frank Langfitt story about the “Charney Sibs” who are *dozens* of biological children of a single fertility doctor.
Many of them are doctors. Multiple OB-GYNs & at least one urologist, Also, many accomplished academics.
It really makes me wonder about the nature of heredity. These people didn’t grow up in a random sample of households, they grew up with parents who could afford the best fertility doctor in Philly. So this isn’t evidence really. It jus…
