Healthy watersheds help stem deadly childhood diseases downstream
Children living in river basins whose watersheds have greater tree cover are less likely to experience diarrhoeal disease, the second leading cause of death among children under the age of five, according to a global study released today, supported by WWF.

Regular readers of this blog will, perhaps, be interested in the latest Jon Donnison news. I just heard him now on PM reporting on the Uber story. Yes, the great man has abandoned his beloved Gazan shore and his far -from-beloved Australian shore and has been posted back to Blighty. I'm sure he'll be his usual 'impartial' self in London (and, yes, that's sarcasm).

Not bashing Sir Alan
In contrast, the BBC's account of Boris's Remain-backing deputy Sir Alan Duncan claim that working class voters threw "a tantrum" during the Brexit is given the softest treatment by the BBC News website.

Of course, Nick thinks the BBC is pretty much getting it about right and that the BBC is much 'greater' and much more 'super' (one for Reggie Perrin fans) than mean, dodgy old social media, but he also cites an old Steve Hewlett programme on Channel 4 that deliberately set out to shine the spotlight on voices that g

Bernalillo (Albuquerque) Sighting of June 17, 2015
Rob Swiatek, a member of the Board of Directors of MUFON, told me about a sighting that is interesting but not necessarily something of an extraterrestrial nature. As he reported, it seems that the objects, or lights, were on the ground. Neither the witness nor the investigator was able to identify a source for the lights.

Journalistic Privilege and Bias
Writing toward the end of the 1980s, the late Zygmunt Bauman tried to capture the essence of the economic, social and cultural changes grouped under the heading 'postmodernism'.

Carles Puigdemont Turns the Tables on Rajoy
Before his speech on Independence to the Catalan parliament, Carles Puigdemont seemed to be in an impossible position. Declare Independence and he would be immediately arrested and direct rule imposed from Madrid. Rajoy appeared to have all the angles covered; the EU had already specifically greenlighted the use of armed force in Commissioner Timmermans’ disgraceful address to the EU Parliament.
Suspending the Catalan Parliament, Spain Destroys the EU’s “Rule of Law” Figleaf.
It takes a very special kind of chutzpah systematically to assault voters, and drag them from polling booths by their hair, and then say that a low turnout invalidates the vote. That is the shameless position being taken by the Europe wide political Establishment and its corporate media lackeys. This Guardian article illustrates a refinement to this already extreme act of intellectual dishonesty.
That Mythical Pro-Spanish Majority in Catalonia
The media constantly pumps out the lie that there is a silent anti-independence majority in Catalonia, which is merely curiously invisible. Consider this. The highest turnout ever at an election in Catalonia was the 74.9% in the 2015 Regional Election, with 4,130.196 people casting their vote. At Spanish general elections turnout is even lower, at 69%.
