    Pablo Picasso Women running on the beach 1922
    Oh the joy; running on the beach…such an excellent painting…
    Picasso captures it perfectly, Imo…

    I picked 7 Picasso’s from 1922 for the next week or so, all completely different, to show his arsenal. He was 30 years old, more mature, but very much still searching.

    Oh, that’s great.
    Very much look forward to seeing them.

    “The main problem the British have had is that they made a mistake 40 years ago deciding to go with services rather than manufacturing.” … “So, that is the key problem for the British economy and it really has almost nothing to do with Brexit,”

    Keen is quite correct on this, which could be applied everywhere, not just to various nations’ economics, but the “backlash” in “populist” (ie ‘democratic’) leaders. It was screwed before you and I were born, then they kept riding to sunset, hell-bent for leather, for another 45 years. Thanks grandpa. Don’t worry, we’ll clean up the rotting, gutted corpse of the economy you left us.

    “desperate attempts to stimulate domestic demand fail miserably. You can’t force people to consume, and the more you try, the more suspicious they become, causing them to halt spending.”

    This should be the motto for FDR and the Great Depression, failing without fail for 12 years and three administrations. You know what does restore confidence? A free market, strong property rights, and fair rules that prosecute the corruption of insiders.

    • Rosenstein, DOJ Explore Ways To More Easily Spy On Journalists (Solomon)

    But of course it would be terrible to fire Rosenstein, the man who approved Trump’s firing of Comey then investigated him for it. It’s nice to see he got some mischief against the people going, against the very reporters who are screeching defense of him, during the few weeks Trump has had him pinned down and out of operation. Don’t worry: the NYT will scream for impeachment and a new investigation when he fires Rosenstein for attacking the press. There’s nothing the press like better than people who attacking whistleblowers and sources. Ask any Australian.

    Here Is A List Of All The Good Things Trump Did For Russia (MoA)

    A meeting so private that Tillerson was at it. Because Tillerson works for Putin now? Why not, everybody else does, we are all helpless before them and should surrender, lest we see a Facebook ad of a puppy and be brainwashed like “Telephon”.

    Russian Security Chief Calls BBC A ‘Fake News Factory’ (RT)

    Sadly, this is now confirmed reality, with MI6 getting caught funding open disinformation campaigns against their own people and the world. Thankfully people outside the Anglo nations are smarter than a potato and can see through it. Within? Not so much.

    “We are in no way meddling in Greece’s internal affairs, but Russia will be expressing its point of view on the issues”

    Opinions are treason. You must believe the 75 self- contradictory things we tell you to, or else.

    • Canada Sees No Cancer Risk From Monsanto’s Roundup Weed Killer (RT)

    Oh Canada. Thanks to all the lasses that voted in a hunky PM. Fine piece of political work there. When your children die of cancer, I’m sure you’ll be proud.

    Immediate Fossil Fuel Phaseout Could Arrest Climate Change (G.)

    It will also ‘arrest’ 2-3 Billion human lives on planet earth. But gotta break some eggs, amirite? If they phase this out, how are they going to heat Mexico and Arizona, which has snow, the coast of Greece and Italy, which have snow, Charleston and Savannah, which have snow, Spain and Morocco, which have snow, and Victoria, Aus, which had snow in the summer? Nevermind: it’s global warming snow, which is not cold, nor does it kill crops and collapse greenhouses. We’ll just cut off the natural gas and wear a sweater.

    One of my favorite phases: a classical Picasso. Deeply human and timeless since expression on their faces shows apparent detachment to what they do. Figures are as if statues just stepped of the pedestal, became flesh and bones and started to imitate us, and in this case showing “an idea” what humans are when running on then beach. Contradictory play with the scale of the their body parts in forefront and back add to the vigor of the movement.
    Brexit, Monsanto “yes-no-no-yes” stories bring a question who are all those people who make a decisions in our name? Then, again, who are “we”?

    Canada, keep your oil. You will need it to stay warm.

    Sooner than you think, the world will offer their first born in exchange for some of your oil.

    Don’t worry that the USA will send troups. How? They don’t know how to make snowshoes.

    A manifestation of climate change is increased instability in weather patterns and the development of new ones. In large parts of Australia we are now enduring record high temperatures, over 40, in large areas of the south-east. I listen to older people who grew up in rural areas telling us that climatic conditions have most definitely changed over the past 50 years. The seasons lack their usual markers, such as what ripens when, and the vegetation is altered by fires and heat. Rain comes in powerful bursts, not in long, soil-saturating showers.

    Taking lessons from a professional meteorologist, I learn that the extra heat energy in the atmosphere evaporates much more moisture than it ever did and provides the basis for huge snowfalls and savage rains. Look behind the phenomena to the causes.

    Has no one here heard of the phenomena of the temperature gradient between the polar region and the temperate regions and the effect of it on the stability of the jet stream. The notion that as the polar region warms faster compared to the temperate region and therefore the gradient becomes less which allows for more dramatic swings in the in the jet stream allowing colder air to come further south and warmer air to go further north.

    gradient
    [grā′dē·ənt]
    Etymology: L, gradus, step
    1 the rate of increase or decrease of a measurable phenomenon, such as temperature or pressure.

    @Dr. D re: snow…

    Not sure where you’re from that you haven’t seen it before, but Arizona and Mexico regularly get snow in winter. Come to think of it, all those places you mention regularly get snow in winter, and maybe even the AUS location (mountainous?). Here in Cali, we get snow in summer on some of the higher peaks. We used to get occasional snow here in winter, just north of Los Angeles at 300m (900ft) elevation, but I haven’t seen this for more than a decade.

    Also, re: ezlexa1949’s comments about instability – my observations (I’m 51 yrs, lived in same region, so have some time for this) are that the dry-wet cycles and the high-low-pressure cycles have been compressed. We are frequently getting a ‘whiplash’ of high pressure followed by low pressure. This and the dry-wet are something I feel physically because I have some bone injuries and some congenital weather-related sinus issues.

    Add to this the increase in atmospheric moisture, which remains in cloud form longer into the summer, with summer being more mild until September, and then brutally hot until late November. More days in early- to mid-summer look like San Francisco weather, with puffy low clouds and more fog.
