The worst kind of climate policy is an uncertain one
Smart policy can help Canada reach its GHG emission targets with minimal economic costs. But even if we use the most economically-efficient tools available, there’s a factor that can still increase costs: policy uncertainty. When the direction of future climate policy is unclear—or worse, when policy reversal is a significant risk—the costs of meeting Canada’s targets rise. In this blog, I’ll look at the consequences of policy uncertainty and what we might do about it.
The challenge of policy uncertainty
I recently discussed the Ontario government’s 2018 repeal of cap-and-trade with an executive from a large multinational manufacturer. At the time of repeal, his company was on the verge of making a large investment to reduce the GHG intensity of its Ontario facilities. Following repeal, they cancelled this investment. Repeal was a possibility that the company had anticipated; it was part of the reason it had not yet proceeded. Nevertheless, the resources that went into planning the investment could have been put to more productive use elsewhere—repeal had real costs for the company. Moreover, Ontario didn’t get to benefit from the investment and GHG reductions that would have been associated with the project.
While the new Ontario government is working on an output-based pricing system that will treat his company similarly to how it was treated under cap-and-trade (and thereby provide a similar business case for retrofitting), the executive said it was not clear his company would reconsider once the new policy was instituted. The possibility of yet more future changes in policy would make the case for investment less compelling relative to other investments it could make elsewhere.
This uncertainty around future policy is one of the hidden costs around our polarized climate policy discussion.
Policy uncertainty is bad for business
Policy uncertainty can paralyze businesses’ investment decision-making. When climate policy is uncertain, companies that sell emissions-intensive products (or emissions-reducing products) have little way of knowing how large the demand for their products will be. And those with emissions-intensive production don’t know whether investing in a lower-emitting production technology will prove to be a competitive advantage or a competitive disadvantage.
The chilling effect that policy uncertainty can have on low-carbon innovation is especially worrying. When companies don’t know how stringent future climate policy will be, there is a weaker business case for R&D focused on developing low-carbon goods and services. Technological innovations that could lower Canada’s GHG mitigation costs (as well as present export opportunities) risk going unrealized.
The worst of the worst: Policy reversal
Uncertain medium- to long-term climate policy is bad enough. But the most challenging kind of uncertainty is uncertain near-term policy. When there is a risk governments will abruptly change or reverse climate policy course, there can be significant economic consequences.
As my conversation with the executive illustrates, suddenly repealing a previous government’s climate policies with little to no compensation for affected parties, reduces the credibility of a new government’s own, future policies. Businesses lose confidence that the jurisdiction is a stable place to invest. Not only does this impede investment in GHG mitigation, it impedes investment generally. In this way, climate policy reversal can have significant costs to the broader economy.
Easier said than done
Having stable, credible climate policies with clear, planned stringency increases will reduce the economic costs of Canada’s low-carbon transition. Nevertheless, climate policy remains uncertain. Carbon prices, for example, are set to rise to $50/tonne by 2022. It’s uncertain whether they’ll continue to rise any further. Moreover, it’s not clear they’ll even get that high. Depending on the outcome of the federal election this fall, there may not even be a federal carbon price.
We ought to be having political debates about climate policy choices, including whether Canada should have a national price on carbon and what we should do with the revenues. We’re not likely to have much policy certainty until these debates get resolved. It may be tempting to get more certainty by taking shortcuts in these debates; for example, by locking policies in and making them hard for future governments to change. But we want future governments to be able to respond to new information and circumstances. Tying their hands is not the answer.
Politics makes climate policy certainty tough to get in practice. However, just because we can’t have full policy certainty doesn’t mean we can’t improve it.
Designing policy to reduce uncertainty
There are a number of ways governments can improve climate policy certainty. Here are a few things they can do:
Build on areas of agreement
Despite sharply diverging views on carbon pricing in Canada, one type of climate policy actually has broad agreement: output-based pricing (OBP). OBP applies to large emitters that are vulnerable to competitiveness challenges and GHG leakage (see here for an explainer). Governments of all stripes across Canada are implementing it. But despite this emerging consensus, policy uncertainty often remains. Alberta, for example, is planning a system that will be its third iteration of OBP.
Empower objective, neutral third parties
Governments can also appoint neutral bodies that provide advice to governments and help set policy. The UK’s Committee on Climate Change (CCC) provides a good example. The CCC provides independent advice to the government on setting and meeting carbon budgets, monitors progress against goals, and does independent analysis of climate change science, economics and policy. It is expert-driven, has cross-party support, and a role enshrined in legislation. Actors across the political spectrum trust the CCC. As a result, businesses have greater confidence that policymakers will continue to take up its analysis and advice, making pendulum swings in policy less likely.
Institute transparent and predictable processes
Creating clear and predictable processes for policy changes can also increase certainty. For example, the Manitoba government’s Carbon Savings Account (CSA) requires the provincial government to set five-year budgets for GHG emissions and enact policies to reach them. If the province overshoots a five-year budget, it subtracts the corresponding amount from the next budget, creating more certainty about the stringency of future policy. This kind of process doesn’t preclude policy changes in the future. But it does send the signal that changes will take place in a more predictable, transparent way.
Policy uncertainty isn’t in anyone’s interest. It increases the cost of Canada’s low-carbon transition and risks causing us to lose out on the export opportunities. And in the case of policy reversal, it makes businesses less likely to invest in Canada.
Eliminating policy uncertainty is a tall order. But we should do what we can to reduce it.

OTTAWA, Ont. — Canada could have a thing or two to learn from the Australians when it comes to buying warships, a new report claims.
Ian Mack, a retired rear admiral and director-general in the Department of National Defence, released a paper via the Canadian Global Affairs Institute on Friday shedding light on what he believes are some key mistakes in the way Ottawa has handled the $60-billion procurement of a new fleet of frigates.
Mack has a unique perspective. He served in his DND role from 2007 to 2017 and was responsible for the conception, shaping and support of the launch and implementation of the National Shipbuilding Strategy, including the initial stages of the Canadian surface combatant competition. In 2017 Mack was selected by the Australian government to join an international expert advisory panel for their Future Frigate Program as it moved into its competitive evaluation process.
In the paper, Mack points out the similarities between the two countries: they embarked on the procurement process at about the same time, they both sought to break the boom-and-bust cycle of shipbuilding, and ultimately they would both end up selecting BAE’s Type 26 global combat ship as their preferred design.
But the differences, Mack says, are what have encumbered Canada’s process, and why the Canadian government took three years longer to go from government approval to design selection than the Australians,
In the paper, Mack points to excessive red tape, inexperience among officials working on the project, and a general lack of drive to change the process to make it more efficient and cost-effective.
For example, the Australian government made the decision up front to restrict the competition to three shipbuilders and their warship designs, whereas Canada only required shipbuilders to qualify to compete, which over 10 of them did.
The initial request for proposals for the Canadian surface combatant also included hundreds of mandatory technical requirements characterized in great detail which proved problematic and led to an eventual overhaul of the process. In comparison, for Australia’s future frigate, there were only a few mandatory requirements of any kind with further guidance provided to bidders via a question and response process.
Mack also pointed out that in Canada, the project management office was about the same size as in Australia but entirely drawn from the public service and the Canadian Armed Forces, with a significant number of team members having little or no applicable industry experience or knowledge, whereas in Australia, the office was populated by knowledgeable contractors.
The Canadian government, Mack concludes, has traditionally worn blinders when it comes to executing complex procurement projects.
“It takes a serious investment of effort to study what others are doing,” he writes.
“One useful place to start is by comprehensively exploring other nations’ approaches to identify gems we might adopt and trial before we need to buy warships again.”

The hygroscopic materials, for example wood, are extremely sensitive to the air characteristics: in fact, they tend to contract or expand depending on the humidity level of the environment. For this reason, in order to optimize the processing and storage of wood, air humidity must be constantly monitored, thus avoiding the altering of the plant fibers' sizes, a phenomenon which in turn can cause the formation of cracks.
From cutting, when the water content is more abundant, to the production of the boards in sawmills, and to the final products such as furniture or fixtures, the wood's water content tends to vary a great deal depending on the environmental conditions with which it seeks to get into balance.
To ensure the best workability of wood during all phases of the process, a water content between 9 and 11% is said to be optimal, corresponding to an ambient humidity around 60%. Failure to comply with these requirements, in particular low levels of humidity, can compromise both the appearance of the wood, which becomes grainy and dull, and also cause straightness flaws, cracks in the boards, corner seals opening, up to detachment of the veneer or wood laminates that cover the furniture not made of solid wood, because the wood absorbs the solvent from the glue before it can undergo polymerization.
Even the dispersion of dust into the air can be reduced with 'proper humidity, improving the quality of the processing or storage environment.
For manufacturing processes where the machines develop high amounts of heat, the adiabatic humidifiers are the perfect solution, since they humidify and cool the air at the same time. In fact, these systems atomize the water into millions of tiny droplets which evaporate spontaneously absorbing the heat from the air, which consequently cools. We are talking about reliable solutions and energy saving, with a consumption of just 4W per litre of atomized water.
Thanks to its 40 years of experience in the field, Carel offers a wide range of adiabatic and steam humidifiers, with different sizes and operating characteristics, always offering the most suitable solution for each specific application.
- Ensure the best product quality, in terms of appearance and functionality;•
- Ensure greater reliability of the production process;•
- Reduce the amount of dust in the air, optimizing the quality of the environment;•
- Breaking down the heat generated by the machines with adiabatic systems.


A lot has changed since Andrew O’Brien and I first chatted back on episode 6 of Beneath the Surface, and it’s a pleasure to welcome him back to help make sense of the financial impacts of COVID-19.
Andrew is a geologist turned site senior executive turned financial advisor, and specialises in blending his wealth of knowledge in the financial services industry (excuse the pun) with his background in mining and resources.
In this episode we talk primarily about the general financial impact that COVID-19 has had on the Australian economy, and break down the numerous incentives currently available to those who’ve been financially affected.
We also dive deep into the ‘early access to super’ scheme, discuss how to navigate a cancelled holiday and importantly, Andrew shares some great advice to those experiencing financial hardship.
A very informative conversation as always, and I can’t thank Andrew enough for joining me for another round. Enjoy...

Ratings & Reviews
by Thomas Fletcher
Excellent recoil eliminator.
A brake that performs.
Just as good as the Lantac Dragon on par with a Miculek, tested it with some mag dumps and it performed as stated. Stayed on target and there was a noticible reduction in recoil! Light and looks good. Thanks PA for the super fast turn around.
Nice looking brake and great sevice as always
by Tu Tran
Not only PA have it priced cheaper than the VG6 site, it's also a my local business, i like to support local businesses and most importantly, they have great customer service.Brake is very well made, no sharp edges, function well as advertised. No complaints from my end.
by Russ H.
I installed this on an 18" AR10/LR308 build and I was truly surprised at how well this brake works! Nearly no recoil or muzzle climb, which allows for fast recovery and second shots. When I was searching for a brake for my new build, I researched many and the VG6 rated VERY high in the tests I looked at. I HIGHLY recommend this brake!
by Nate -
I bought this brake an installed it on a Remington 700 in .308. Not only does it look awesome. It was simple to install and get timed up. Most importantly it cut the recoil in half!!
!SUPER FAST SHIPPING!
Looks good. Im sure it will do wonders for my 6.5 Grendel. The crush washer didn't crush at center? Probably my fault though.
by TX TRACE -
Installed on a 308 build. Looks great and installed easily. Along with the other components in the build, this muzzle brake helped to make this the softest shooting 308 I've ever fired. The mild recoil is straight back with no noticeable muzzle rise. very easy to get off a quick second shot. My teenage girls even enjoy shooting it. Highly recommended.
Easy on the shoulder!
by Greg -
Purchased this for my AR308, and it definitely helps with upward movement and kick. Will buy again!
Just installed this on a DD5V3 in .308. For some reason the recoil was pretty brutal for a rifle of this quality. This device solved the issue and then some. I don't know why its discontinued. I'm glad I got one before they were gone.

The carrier-mounted XL 4100-II is a far different excavator than the model it replaces, the XL 4100. The new machine embodies Gradall's hallmark design features—a tilting telescopic boom and a highway-worthy chassis. It also keeps the high-pressure hydraulic system. Beyond these basic elements, though, nearly every other design aspect is new for the XL 4100-II. Changes range from big-ticket items—the carrier frame, boom, boom cradle, cabs, hydraulic design and engine layout—to detail items, such as dent-resistant fenders, LED swing lights and "plug-in" convenience for adding work lights, cab sound systems and air conditioning. With the single-engine design, Gradall says the machine has increased performance and saves money on filters and downtime associated with routine maintenance. Estimated list price: $275,420.

KWG, Spider And Freewest Provide Drill Update On Freewest Option Property Mcfauld’s Lake Area, Northern Ontario08 Apr 2008
Montreal, Canada – April 8, 2008 –KWG Resources Inc. (TSXV-KWG) (“KWG”), Spider Resources Inc. (TSXV-SPQ) (“Spider”) and Freewest Resources Canada Inc. (TSXV-FWR) (“Freewest”) are pleased to announce the progress of the diamond drilling program on their jointly owned Freewest Option property (the “Property”), located approximately 15 kilometres southwest of the McFaulds Lake volcanogenic massive sulphide (“VMS”) occurrences discovered by Spider and KWG and approximately 3.6 kilometres northeast of Noront Resources Ltd.’s Eagle One Magmatic Massive Sulphide (“MMS”) discovery, in the James Bay Lowlands region of Northern Ontario.
This diamond drilling program has started the drill test work around the chromium-nickel-platinum group metal bearing peridotite previously discovered by Spider and KWG in 2006, which has many similarities to the new discovery (Eagle Two) of Noront Resources. Billiken Management Services Inc. has been retained to complete the field program under the onsite supervision of Dr. Howard Lahti. The approved budget for the program is $2.4 million, the cost of which will be shared 50:50 between Spider and KWG, after which an additional exploration program with related costs may be recommended as a result of the first phase of the program.
Three holes, numbered FW-08-05, FW-08-06 and FW-08-07 have been completed totaling 1,117 metres and hole FW08-08 is underway to test a new anomaly located approximately 1 kilometre to the northeast of the chromite layered peridotite, along the magnetically inferred “Ring of Fire”.
Hole FW-08-05 was designed to undercut Hole FW-06-03, drilled at an inclination of -50, with an azimuth of 150 degrees, total depth of 327 metres. This Hole was collared in overburden and entered granodiorite at 17.5 metres, then intersected peridotite at 46.5 metres. The Hole remained in peridotite until it intersected three massive chromite layers between 252.2 and 273.1, each being around 1 metre wide, within the peridotite. This intersection was followed by a very thick massive chromite layer between 291.4 and 298.8 in fault (gouge) contact with underlying intermediate tuff (volcanic rocks). Pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite mineralization was observed in a short shear zone in peridotite between 69.1 and 69.3 metres.
Hole FW-08-06, located 100 metres grid west of FW-08-05, was drilled at an inclination of -50, with an azimuth of 150 degrees, to a total depth 384 metres, being the maximum length for the drill being utilized when drilling NQ core. The hole was collared in limestone, entered granodiorite at 17.8 metres, then intersected peridotite at 103.3 metres. At 330.2 metres, massive chromite layering starts, interstitial rock at this location is described as pyroxenite/peridotite with local thin bands of massive magnetite. At 346.5 to 384 metres the rock is pyroxenite with short (1 m) chromite beds, and erratic patches of fine grained pyrrhotite and pyrite throughout.
Hole FW-08-07, located 100 metres grid east of FW-08-05, was drilled at an inclination of -50, with an azimuth of 150 degrees. This hole was drilled to a final depth of 405.7 metres. Hole 7 encountered peridotite right away at 10 metre core length and the hole remained in peridotite until 194.7m. Chromite layering started in a Pyroxenite, followed by short chromite layers between 194.7 to 195 metres, and between 197.8 to 205.5 metres, followed by thick bed between 209.8 to 223.3 metres. This Hole continued in pyroxenite until 300 metres where the drill entered gabbro and remained in this rock unit until 405.7 metres.
As stated in earlier press releases, nine separate SW-NE trending magnetically and electromagnetically rendered anomalies were identified within the limits of the Property, as described within an Interim report prepared by Scott Hogg and Associates of Toronto Ontario previously announced on February 22, 2008, most of which warranted additional follow-up. Line-cutting has recently been completed over the entire property, ground geophysical surveying including magnetic, electromagnetic (VLF) and MaxMin electromagnetics continues and has been completed on the western portion of the property in the vicinity of the initial three drill sites, as well as the fourth site, results of which are being used to plan additional drilling in this area as well as other areas nearby.
Previous exploration work on the property included a diamond drill program resulting in the discovery of a layered chromite-bearing, nickel and platinum group element (PGE) enriched peridotite. A previous press release dated February 4, 2008 describes the analytical results. This chrome-PGE-nickel discovery was the first of its kind in the McFauld’s Lake area of the Sachigo Greenstone Belt. The host peridotite contains variable amounts of magnetite as disseminations and seams and elicits a strong magnetic signature. The magnetic high has dimensions of 400 metres by 400 metres and due to both these dimensions, and the peridotite-setting-similarity to Noront Resources Ltd’s Eagle One MMS discovery (located 3.6 km to the SE), as well as the newly discovered Eagle Two MMS occurrence, (located 2 km to the SE of Eagle One) which also contains chromite layering; this occurrence has become a very attractive exploration target for additional work directed at chrome-PGE-nickel mineralization. Noront’s peridotite sill, announced on April 2, is rendered by airborne geophysics to continue to the east-north-east of their Eagle One occurrence towards and through the Freewest Option property of Spider and KWG. The focus of the current drilling program will be to further investigate this Cr-PGE-Ni occurrence and to test several of the other anomalies on the property.
Neil Novak, P.Geo, President of Spider, accompanied by Donald Hoy, P.Geo, Vice-President of Exploration for Freewest, visited the project from March 25 to March 27 to get updated and continue planning the exploration program for the project.
The terms of the agreement with Freewest are disclosed in earlier press releases (see press release December 19, 2005, as well press release dated February 4, 2008).
This press release has been prepared by management of Spider Resources Inc., which is the Operator of the joint venture with KWG during 2008, and has been approved for dissemination by Neil Novak P.Geo, President of Spider and a Qualified Person as such term is defined under National Instrument 43-101, who has reviewed and verified the technical information contained in this press release and has approved the contents of this press release.

Grover Washington, Jr.: Grover Washington, Jr.: Winelight (Hybrid SACD 5.1 Multichannel)By
It is absolutely true that Washington was, along with George Benson, one of the founding fathers of smooth jazz and following the monster hit that was the Grammy-winning Winelight it wasn't long before the saxophone became, along with the electric guitar, the two most preeminent instruments in the genre. For better or worse (and there's an argument to be made for either side), Washington blazed a trail many others have followed, with varying degrees of success.
Within the crowed group of smooth jazz saxophonists there are a few originals following their own muse and blazing their trails of their own. Regretfully, the vast majority bland cookie cutter clones slavishly hacking out infinite versions of the R&B/jazz fusion of "Mister Magic" and "Just the Two of Us" without bringing anything fresh to the table. Smooth jazz is stuck in a rut of safe sax where nothing is risked and nobody wants to step out of their comfort zone. Real jazz is all about taking risks, not playing it safe.
Washington was not so much a daring innovator as much as he was a solid musician who had paid his dues as part of Creed Taylor's CTI and Kudu record labels, where the music was glossy and the album jackets were distinctive. Washington was labelmates with Benson, Stanley Turrentine, Freddie Hubbard, Bob James, Hubert Laws and Esther Phillips to name but a few of the artists on the CTI roster.
With his move to Elektra Records, in 1980 Washington uncorked Winelight. Predictably, it reached number one on Billboard's Top Jazz, but then it crossed over to other charts. The album went to number five on Billboard's Pop Albums, number two Top Soul Albums and "Just the Two of Us" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and stayed there for three weeks. The album would go on to win two Grammy awards.
The quiet greatness of Winelight has not faded 35 years after its release. It's far and away the best album of Washington's long career. The slip n' slide funk of "Mister Magic" put Washington on the map, but Winelight was the evidence he could flat out play.
Washington would go on to record 11 more albums before his horn fell silent, but none approached the all-time high of Winelight. Not much of Washington's extensive catalog garners much airplay beyond "Mister Magic," "Let It Flow" and "Just the Two of Us," and that's a shame because he continued to make some interesting albums at Columbia which deserve to be heard. Perhaps this new reissued and limited edition multichannel 5.1 SACD release will rekindle a discovery of the extensive Washington discography.
The Surround Sound remix was produced by Ralph MacDonald, the renowned percussionist who also co-wrote "Just the Two of Us" and shared production duties on Winelight with Washington. MacDonald died in 2011. Other notable musicians include drummer Steve Gadd, guitarist Eric Gale and a 21-year-old wizard on bass by name of Marcus Miller.
The only complaint with the remastered release is the absence of any bonus tracks or new liner notes. It is a missed opportunity not to provide some details and insights into the recording process or how Washington and McDonald convinced the reclusive Withers to provide the vocals for "Just the Two of Us."
When most lists of the Top 25 Jazz Albums of All Time are compiled, Winelight is nowhere to be seen. It likely wouldn't make the top 100 for the truly hardcore fan who likes their music with a rougher edge than smooth jazz provides. No way does it knock a Kind of Blue, A Love Supreme, Time Out or Blue Trane off the list, but when the list includes the 25 most influential jazz albums, Winelight belongs in there as much as Head Hunters or Breezin' for taking jazz into a brand new direction even if everybody wasn't happy with where it went.
Winelight; Let It Flow (for "Dr. J"); In the Name of Love; Take Me There; Just the Two of Us; Make Me A Memory (Sad Samba).

I was invited alongside the girls for a dinner tasting at Salt Tapas & Bar. I have actually visited Salt Tapas & Bar for a tasting many years ago and was excited to see what new offerings the new Executive Chef Ronald Li will be implementing in Salt Tapas & Bar’s menu.
Not to be confused with Salt Grill & Sky Bar, the menu at Salt Tapas & Bar focuses on modern Tapas with an Australian twist (inspired by Chef Luke Mangan’s culinary personality) and focuses on communal dining.
We started the night with some drinks.
My choice of poison was The Mojito ($18++) which consisted of a sugar stick, mint leaves, lime wheels, rum and brown sugar. Lovely drink that wasn’t too strong. While most might let the sugar stick melt into the drink or use it as stirrer, I happily munched on it nonstop.
The dishes soon came out fast and furiously and we struggled to keep up.
One of my personal favourites would have to be the Taco of tempura prawn, pineapple salsa, chipotle mayo ($12++). I have always been a fan of prawns deep fried in batter and coupled with sinful mayo. The combination of the pineapple salsa, chipotle mayo and roe went quite well! If I were to try to replicate this at home, I would definitely swop the chipotle mayo for a wasabi sauce instead. Just a personal preference!
I first tried Pork belly sliders, picked cucumber and chilli ($13++) back in 2013 and it didn’t disappoint again. While some may balked at the thought of pickled cucumber, I really enjoyed it! I felt it was a nice pairing with the generous serving of juicy pork belly.
I’ve never tried Bone Marrow before and was quite squeamish about trying it. However Salt Tapas and Bar’s Bone marrow with shiitake duxelle, holland potato and garlic toast ($20++) totally changed my mind. The roasted marrow was mixed with shiitake and potato and savoured with a lovely buttery piece of garlic toast. Great for sharing!
I was fooled by the Haloumi, eggplant, chickpea, dried tomatoes, herbs and tahini dressing ($13++) I thought it was a fish dish at first! It’s actually a grilled an unriped brined cheese made up of a mixture of milk. As a huge fan of cheese, I really enjoyed this dish. The saltiness of the cheese was perfectly matched with the other ingredients. Two thumbs up!
I remember trying the Beets, ricotta, figs, pickled green chilli, honey and thyme dressing ($14++) back in 2013. A really refreshing dish however I’m not a fan of beets. I picked on the other ingredients and pushed the beets aside.
Back in 2013, I really enjoyed the seafood Paella. I loved that they revamped this classic dish. The Paella of prawns, mussels, squid, chorizo, chicken, prosciutto and saffron rouille ($39++) was delightful. It was full with lots of ingredients and generously seasoned. Definitely value for money and worth sharing.
We also shared the Grilled barramundi, mango salsa, sauteed brocollini ($60++). The tender barramundi is grilled with a dash of yuzu. I thought that the mango salsa was a nice touch to the dish and gave a rather refreshing aftertaste.
I was glad that we shared the Pork ribs with sauteed peas, edamame and mash ($55++). If I had ate the whole dish by myself, I have to honestly say it can get a bit jelak. The ribs are glazed with a classic BBQ sauce and was very tender! It was easy peeling it off the bone.
The Gooey chocolate tart with mango sorbet ($14++) was a surprise. Usually most of the chocolate tarts I’ve tried are usually accompanied by vanilla ice-cream. The chocolate tart lives true to it’s name. It’s gooey and extremely decadent. I thought that the mango sorbet helped lightened and refreshed our palate after the sinful tart. Definitely a great pairing of sweet and sour.
Personally I thought that Churros, chocolate sauce and chantilly cream ($14++) was good on it’s own without the sauce accompaninents.
Thanks FoodNews PR and Salt Tapas & Bar for the lovely invite.

Eraldo Bernocchi and Jamie Saft have made many kinds of music, but never before together. My Eraldo of choice is a maker of hard, slow beats and dark electronica (both on his own and in cahoots with the likes of Bill Laswell and Mick Harris), so it’s actually a nice change to hear him searing through the murk on a straightforward, if virtuoso electric guitar. New Yorker Saft has long been involved in John Zorn’s various Masada permutations and recently launched a lounge reggae act called New Zion Trio. Bassist Colin Edwin from Porcupine Tree and busy Hungarian drummer Balazs Pandi, recently enjoyed on The Blood of Heroes with Submerged, Bill Laswell, Justin Broadrick and crew, round out what is something of a supergroup.
There’s always been a sense of the macabre in BernocchiÂ´s work and the b-film track titles – including ‘Schizopolis’, ‘Glass Chewer’, ‘Bipolar’ and ‘Fist Full of Flies’ – telegraph a continuation of tongue in bloody cheek form. Ripping open a stately piano chord by Saft on opening track ‘Sectile’, the spaghetti Western guitar and elephantine trumpeting lead don’t even hint at the plots twists which lie ahead. Saft’s Herman Munster harpsichord and Bernocchi’s tidal, crashing-surf guitar on ‘Schizopolis’ are comic-book dystopian. The latter’s playing is pretty fierce throughout, varied, infinitely echoing or held on a short choke chain, while Saft makes dub love to his piano. ‘Crystals and Wounds’ or ‘Transverse’ blend the two so unexpectedly seamlessly.
Metallic Taste of Blood is a reconciliation of the hard and the soft. When the band shifts into an easy reggae skank a couple of minutes into ‘King Cockroach’, you canÂ´t help but smile and think, “These guys are alright”. They make you shudder, then they purr like kittens.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (MRSAB) often persists despite appropriate antibiotic therapy. It is unclear what microbiological factors contribute to poor clinical outcomes in persistent MRSAB (pMRSAB). We aimed to identify clinical and microbiological risk factors for in-hospital mortality in pMRSAB. We analysed MRSAB cases prospectively collected between 2009 and 2016 at 11 hospitals in Korea, defining cases of pMRSAB as MRSAB lasting ≥5 days despite administration of effective antibiotics. The first blood isolates from the pMRSAB cases were tested for staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type, staphylococcal protein A type, accessary gene regulator (agr) type, genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin and phenol-soluble modulin-mec, vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration, vancomycin heteroresistance, and agr functionality. We also collected clinical information for each case. Of 960 MRSAB cases, 152 pMRSAB were finally eligible. Univariable analysis revealed that in-hospital mortality was significantly associated with Charlson’s comorbidity-weighted index (CCWI) score, Pitt bacteremia score, sequential organ failure assessment score, presentation with septic shock, pneumonia, agr dysfunction, and vancomycin heteroresistance. Bone and joint infections were negatively associated with in-hospital mortality. Multivariable analysis revealed the following independent risk factors for in-hospital mortality: CCWI score [adjusted odds ratio (aOR), per one point, 1.25; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.08–1.44; P = 0.003), Pitt bacteremia score (aOR, per one point, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.09–1.62; P = 0.005), non-eradicated foci of infection (aOR, 3.12; 95% CI, 1.18–8.27; P = 0.022), and agr dysfunction (aOR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.12–5.47; P = 0.025). agr dysfunction is an independent risk factor for in-hospital mortality in pMRSAB.

Put Down the Burger: Fast Food Consumption Risks for Expecting Mothers and Their Babies
The Hidden Dangers: Fast Food Consumption Risks for Expecting Mothers and Their Babies
- Pregnancy is a crucial time for both the mother and her developing baby, with nutrition playing a vital role in ensuring a healthy outcome. While occasional indulgence in fast food might seem harmless, research suggests otherwise. The convenience of fast food often comes with hidden dangers, particularly for expecting mothers and their babies.
The Impact of Fast Food on Pregnancy:
- Fast food is notorious for its high levels of unhealthy fats, sugars, and sodium. Consuming these foods regularly during pregnancy can have detrimental effects on both the mother and the developing fetus. Excessive intake of unhealthy fats can lead to weight gain, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure, increasing the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth.
- Furthermore, fast food lacks essential nutrients crucial for fetal development, such as folate, iron, and calcium. Deficiencies in these nutrients can lead to neural tube defects, low birth weight, and developmental delays in infants. Studies have also linked maternal fast food consumption to an increased risk of childhood obesity and metabolic disorders later in life for the offspring.
Gestational Diabetes and Other Complications:
- One of the most concerning risks associated with fast food consumption during pregnancy is the development of gestational diabetes. This condition not only poses immediate health risks to both the mother and the baby but also increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.
- Additionally, excessive fast food intake can contribute to preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by high blood pressure and organ damage.
The Importance of a Balanced Diet:
- While occasional consumption of fast food may not pose significant risks, it's essential for expecting mothers to prioritize a balanced and nutritious diet. Incorporating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can provide essential vitamins and minerals necessary for a healthy pregnancy. Additionally, staying hydrated and avoiding excessive caffeine and sugary beverages are crucial for maternal and fetal well-being.
Educating Expecting Mothers:
- Healthcare providers play a vital role in educating expecting mothers about the risks associated with fast food consumption during pregnancy. Providing guidance on healthy eating habits, meal planning, and alternatives to fast food can empower mothers to make informed choices for themselves and their babies. Additionally, raising awareness through public health campaigns and community initiatives can help address the widespread accessibility and appeal of fast food.
- While the temptation of fast food may be hard to resist, especially during pregnancy, it's essential for expecting mothers to prioritize their health and the well-being of their babies. By making conscious choices to prioritize a balanced diet rich in nutrients, mothers can mitigate the risks associated with fast food consumption and set the stage for a healthy pregnancy and future for their child. Let's drop the burger and opt for nourishing alternatives—it's a decision that can make all the difference for generations to come.
Choosing Wisely: The Dangers of Fast Food for Pregnant Women and Their Babies
- Recent studies have raised concerns about the health risks posed to fetuses when pregnant women consume ultra-processed or fast food. Beyond just the typical concerns about the high grease and calorie content of such foods, researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine have highlighted the additional danger posed by certain chemicals often found in fast food items. Published in the journal Environment International, their research points to phthalates, which are commonly found in fast food wrappers or plastic gloves worn by workers, as particularly concerning.
- These phthalates have been associated with various health issues including autism, ADHD, preterm birth, and low birth weight. The study, which involved 1,031 pregnant women in their second trimester, revealed a direct correlation between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and higher levels of these harmful chemicals in the bloodstream.
- Dr. Sheela Sathyanarayana, a pediatrician and senior author of the study, emphasized the significance of this finding, explaining how these chemicals can cross the placenta and affect fetal development. This highlights the importance of pregnant women being mindful of their diet choices, especially regarding fast and processed foods.
- Brennan Baker, one of the researchers involved in the study, stressed the need for action not only from pregnant individuals but also from food manufacturers and legislators. He advocated for safer alternatives in food handling and packaging to mitigate the risk posed by these chemicals.
- In light of these findings, Dr. Sathyanarayana advises pregnant women to prioritize whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats, and organic breakfast bars made with natural ingredients like dates. She emphasizes the importance of reading and understanding food labels to make informed choices about what they consume.
- Furthermore, unrelated research has also indicated that boys born to obese mothers may have a higher risk of developing diabetes, further underscoring the importance of maternal diet during pregnancy.
- These studies serve as a stark reminder of the potential risks associated with consuming ultra-processed and fast food during pregnancy. Pregnant women are encouraged to opt for healthier alternatives to safeguard both their own health and the well-being of their unborn babies.

Clusters of suicides and suicide attempts: detection, proximity and correlates
LS Too, J Pirkis, A Milner, MJ Spittal
EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PSYCHIATRIC SCIENCES | CAMBRIDGE UNIV PRESS | Published : 2017
BACKGROUND: A suicide cluster is defined as a higher number of observed cases occurring in space and/or time than would typically be expected. Previous research has largely focused on identifying clusters of suicides, while there has been comparatively limited research on clusters of suicide attempts. We sought to identify clusters of both types of behaviour, and having done that, identify the factors that distinguish suicide attempts inside a cluster from those that were outside a cluster. METHODS: We used data from Western Australia from 2000 to 2011. We defined suicide attempts as admissions to hospital for deliberate self-harm and suicides as deaths due to deliberate self-harm.

Illinois Governor J. B. Pritzker (D) visited Chicago Abortion Fund last week and thanked the abortion provider for its service to the community.
Pritzker wrote on X: “If you’re an abortion provider in Illinois, know that our nation is grateful for your service. Our state’s a safe haven for those seeking care thanks to champions like Chicago Abortion Fund and others I met today. Your work has never been more essential for those across the US.”
[Note: Six months after being sworn in as Governor in 2019, Pritzker signed into law the Reproductive Health Act, which repealed the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975, which penalized doctors for performing the procedure.]
This is sick. We do not “thank” abortionists for their service like they are active duty military. https://t.co/MSpcrjNMQ1— Mary Miller (@Miller_Congress) January 23, 2024
Conservative Congresswoman Mary Miller, who represents Illinois’s 15th Congressional District and is a member of the Freedom Caucus (and mother of seven children and grandmother of 20), raged against Pritzker and his applause for the Chicago Abortion Fund. She replied on X: “This is sick. We do not ‘thank’ abortionists for their service like they are active duty military.”
Note: In June 2022, the day after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Miller spoke at a rally with Donald Trump and called the decision a “historic victory for white life.” Later that day, her spokesman said that Miller had misread her notes and meant to say “right to life.”
51 years ago today, Roe v. Wade gave women the freedom to control their own reproductive health and futures.— Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) January 22, 2024
We're reminded on this date now of the setback we face in the battle for the right to choose.
Illinois is fighting back like hell. pic.twitter.com/GY9RCSw3vy
In November 2023, Pritzker launched the national nonprofit advocacy group, Think Big America, which promotes ballot measures that would codify abortion rights in red states including Nevada, Ohio and Arizona. Pritzker is reportedly adding “a new flush of cash” personally. (He is an heir to the Hyatt hotel chain fortune.)

Not all sunscreen is created equally, and with summer officially starting, it’s important to choose the right sunscreen in order to protect your skin properly. The two main types of sun protection are physical vs. chemical sunscreen, but which type is best for your skin? In order to fully understand this debate, here are the main differences between the two main types of sunscreen.
Physical Sunscreen Basics
Physical sunscreen contains inorganic ingredients—like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide—to sit on top of the skin and reflect and scatter UV rays. It gets the name because it acts as a physical barrier between your skin and the sun.
- Protects against UVA and UVB rays
- Better for sensitive skin
- Longer shelf life
- Rubs off easily (especially with water and sweat)
- Formula is thicker and takes more effort to rub in (a white-ish film is common)
- Can be less effective if not applied accurately and liberally
There are also clothing options, such as sun sleeves, umbrellas, hats, etc. that physically block the sun (with some even containing UV-blocking fibers).
Chemical Sunscreen Basics
Made from organic materials, chemical sunscreen works by absorbing UV (UVA and UVB) rays, turning these rays into heat, and then releasing that heat from the skin. Active compounds include oxybenzone, octinoxate and avobenzone.
- Absorbs into skin more easily
- Only a moderate amount is needed
- More cost-effective
- Takes roughly 20 minutes to absorb into skin
- Can irritate sensitive skin
- Can clog pores
- Requires frequent re-application
Physical vs. Chemical Sunscreen
There are both advantages and disadvantages to both types of sunscreen, so it’s best to find the formula that works well with your skin type. For example, those with sensitive skin should consider organic, non comedogenic physical sunscreen, as it is less irritating, while those who are more active should try chemical sun protection, as it rubs in easier and is more resistant to sweat.
At Blue Creek, we understand how important sun protection is, which is why we offer both physical and chemical sunscreen options. Next time you’re getting a treatment, ask about our Eminence Organic Skincare and Image Skincare sun care options:

How does E3 ligase work?
E3 ligases interact with both the target protein and the E2 enzyme, and so impart substrate specificity to the E2. Commonly, E3s polyubiquitinate their substrate with Lys48-linked chains of ubiquitin, targeting the substrate for destruction by the proteasome.
What is SCF E3 ligase?
Skp, Cullin, F-box containing complex (or SCF complex) is a multi-protein E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that catalyzes the ubiquitination of proteins destined for 26S proteasomal degradation. Along with the anaphase-promoting complex, SCF has important roles in the ubiquitination of proteins involved in the cell cycle.
Is SCF a ubiquitin ligase?
The SCF multisubunit complex (Skp1, Cullins, F-box proteins) E3 ubiquitin ligase, also known as CRL (Cullin-RING ubiquitin Ligase) is the largest E3 ubiquitin ligase family that promotes the ubiquitination of various regulatory proteins for targeted degradation, thus regulating many biological processes, including cell …
Why is ubiquitin ligase SCF important for the cell cycle?
And the SCF E3 ubiquitin ligases play an important role in regulating critical cellular processes, which promote degradation of many cellular proteins, including signal transducers, cell cycle regulators, and transcription factors.
Does E3 bind to ubiquitin?
RING E3s bind both the E2-ubiquitin and the substrate to be ubiquitinated, so bringing them together allows direct conjugation of ubiquitin (Ub) on the substrate by the E2. A monomeric RING E3 ligase is shown for illustrative purposes.
What does the SCF do?
The SCF complex is a multi-subunit ubiquitin ligase that specifically transfers activated ubiquitin to target-protein substrates. SCF is named after Skp1–Cullin–F-box-protein, which are the three main proteins of the complex. A RING-domain-containing protein of the Roc1/Rbx1 family is the final component of the ligase.
Is SCF a tumor suppressor gene?
In this review we discuss the activities of the SCF(Fbw7) in the context of its role as a tumor suppressor and highlight recent findings demonstrating that dominant oncogenes disable Fbw7 function.
What is anaphase promoting complex?
The anaphase promoting complex or cyclosome (APC/C) is a multi-subunit cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase that functions to regulate progression through the mitotic phase of the cell cycle and to control entry into S phase [1–4].
How does DNA ligase work?
DNA ligase works by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond between nucleotides on one strand of a double stranded DNA molecule. DNA ligase is able to create a covalent linkage between the 5′ phosphate group of one chain with the adjacent 3′ -OH group of another.

A hybrid retrofit system utilizing Wärtsilä energy storage technology will be installed the Harvey Energy, a platform supply vessel (PSV). The vessel, which is owned by Louisiana, USA-based Harvey Gulf International Marine, is the first LNG fueled and the first hybrid retrofitted PSV in the Americas, Wärtsilä said.
The installation of a Wärtsilä 1450 kW battery hybrid solution is intended to reduce the ship’s exhaust emissions, fuel consumption and noise level. The overall fuel cost savings are expected to be in the range of 10 to 20%, Wärtsilä said. The battery capacity will be sufficient to sail in and out of the harbor on electric power, while also providing hotel load electricity when docked, which will reduce noise and emissions levels in the harbor area. Furthermore, the ability to operate on battery power will assist maneuverability during dynamic positioning (DP) operations at the offshore platform.
Included in the solution are the Energy Storage System, the Energy Management System, the transformer and drive, all mounted within a single container. The project will also include integration with the existing Wärtsilä Power Distribution, Power Management, and Integrated Automation Systems. The Wärtsilä equipment is scheduled for delivery in December.
“We chose Wärtsilä as our partner several years ago due to their significant experience in LNG and dual fuel engine technology, which fit very well with Harvey Gulf’s mission to have the most fuel efficient environmentally friendly fleet of platform supply vessels in the Americas,” said Shane Guidry, chairman and CEO of Harvey Gulf. “When we decided to enhance these traits by installing hybrid technology, Wärtsilä was the natural choice.
“In addition, Wärtsilä’s excellent knowledge of our company and our business has resulted in very strong service support after the vessel delivery. This support has proven itself in zero unscheduled down time on the five LNG-fueled PSV’s in Harvey Gulf’s fleet. We believe our mutual project will have a considerable impact in the market and will further the environmental drive towards sustainable solutions in the offshore market space.”
Wärtsilä’s hybrid solutions are based on a ‘first-of-its kind’ fully integrated hybrid power module that combines engines, an energy storage system using batteries, and power electronics optimized to work together through a Wärtsilä-developed energy management system.
While the Harvey Energy will be the first PSV in the Americas to have a hybrid retrofit, Wärtsilä said it has already completed a number of hybrid retrofits for PSVs in Europe.

Together with a contemporary black and white colorway, the Temuco Jute Rug creates a global esthetic with its dynamic linear pattern. Take advantage of its versatile palette, yet interesting flat weave to easily update any space.
Due to the handmade quality of our rugs, they may vary slightly in size and/or color. Rug pattern is scaled to rug size and may vary from the images shown.
• 80% Jute | 15% Cotton | 5% Polyester
• Handwoven: The horizontal jute weave contains gold fibers. The yarns of a handwoven flat-weave rug are braided or woven directly on a loom. This produces an extremely tight, long-wearing weave with a flat, low profile that won’t obstruct doorways or create a tripping hazard on hard flooring. Because they don’t have a backing, flat-weave rugs are reversible, but should be secured with a rug pad.
• Pile: 0.25" H
• Backing: No
• Made in India
• Jute is not water-resistant, so do not place a jute rug in an area with high moisture. Blot the stain with a dry cloth immediately and if necessary, opt for a professional cleaning service.
• Regular Pile: Vacuum regularly. We recommend once a week (especially in the first month), unless it’s looped, braided or a shag rug. Removing the beater bar is recommended.
Most rugs ship via FedEx and arrive within 3-4 weeks of order receipt.

Sketchtravel: Acclaimed artists Dice Tsutsumi of Japan and Gerald Guerlais of France originated Sketchtravel as an international charity art project. A simple red sketchbook was passed from one artist to another, not unlike an Olympic torch, in an artistic relay through 12 countries over the course of four years. The end result was a beautiful sketchbook containing the personal visions of 71 exceptional illustrators, animators and comic book artists including Bill Plympton, James Jean, Rebecca Dautremer, Glen Keane, Frederick Back, and Studio Ghibli founder and animation legend Hayao Miyazaki. This sketchbook was sold at auction in 2011, raising funds for Room to Read, an international literacy non-profit, and helping to build five libraries in five third-world nations so far.
The Art of ParaNorman: The Cartoon Art Museum proudly presents original works of art from the feature film ParaNorman, produced by LAIKA, the Portland-based animation studio owned by Nike co-founder and Chairman Philip H. Knight, and released nationwide by Focus Features on August 17, 2012. The exhibition features concept art, puppets, costumes and more from the upcoming film, LAIKA’s second stop-motion animated film to be shot in 3D. In stop-motion animation, everything seen on screen actually exists in the real world, as opposed to computer-generated animation.

Co-creators of the comic art series Love and Rockets, Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez have been likened in the Times of London and elsewhere as “the graphic equivalent to the fabulism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the Nobel laureate.” A decades-spanning oeuvre, Love and Rockets virtually defined the subversive alt-comic voice of the 1980s and has won a string of Harvey and Kirby Awards. The pair has also collaborated with their brother, Mario Hernandez, in addition to releasing several solo projects. Jaime’s comics include Locas, Penny Century, and Whoa, Nellie!, and Gilbert’s work includes New Love, Luba, New Tales of Old Palomar, and the graphic novel The Troublemakers. In 2009, the Hernandez brothers were named in Time’s “Top 100 Next Wave Storytellers,” and they continue to release new work more than 30 years after the original publication of their influential series.

One of the things that Sarah Kirkconnell, author of Freezer Bag Cooking, has taught me, is not to deprive yourself on the trail. In your quest to lighten your food bag, don't make the mistake I made, which is to package up meals that are nutritional, but so boring that you can't finish them. I swear, I'm ruined on couscous for life!
On my last backpacking trip, I indulged and tried out something new – boil in a bag meals. Last winter, I bought a larger 1.3 liter titanium pot for melting snow. I brought it along on my last trip because it is nearly big enough to submerge the two boil in the bag meals from Trader Joes' shown above. The Lentil Rice Biryani dish on the left weighs 9.2 oz and has 420 calories and the Punjab eggplant weighs 10.5 oz and has 300 calories.
I will be the first to admit that this is not a lightweight food selection, but damn was it good. And even though they weighed over 1 lb, my food bag weight for 3 days was still under 5 lbs.
In cooking these up, I found that complete submersion is not necessary. instead, I fired up my Isobutane stove and brought two-thirds of a pot of water to boil and dropped in the foil bag containing the Pugjab eggplant sauce. Once the water started to boil again, I turned down the simmer control on my Snow Peak so that the water was at less than a full, raging boil to conserve fuel. After about 5 minutes, I flipped the bag around in the pot and let the top part of the meal heat for a few minutes. I did the same thing for the rice dish, and then I emptied the two into a zip-loc quart bag I brought along and mixed them together. Yum.
This food was so good, I've been thinking about trying to dehydrate it to get the weight down, but my wife doesn't think that they'll be the same. Regardless, eating this meal on my first night out meant not having to carry it for more than one day, and it was worth it.
