A New Heartland: Women, Modernity, and the Agrarian Ideal in America (Hardback)Janet Gallingani Casey (author)
Hardback 264 Pages / Published: 30/04/2009
- We can order this from the publisher
A New Heartland investigates American rurality and modernity as mutually sustaining concepts, and centres on women's special engagement with those concepts. Among its central questions are the following: How has a critical emphasis on the modern-urban imaginary obscured rurality's importance to the American cultural consciousness? In what ways did received attitudes about rurality and nostalgia enable pronounced links between women and the rural? How did actual changes in agriculture reshape interpretive connections between the farm and modernity, and between the farm and women? Finally, how did rurality - traditionally a locus for conservatism - serve as a site through which to challenge orthodox ideas about gender, class, race, commodity consumption, and women's reproductive rights? This study is distinguished by an interdisciplinary approach that considers idea(l)s of women and rurality across a broad field of discourses and representational arenas, including social theory, periodical literature, literary criticism, photography, and, most especially, women's rural fiction ("low" as well as "high"). It touches on such diverse subjects as eugenics, advertising, the economy of literary prizes, and the role of the camera in defining women as modern. It also relies on substantial archival research, and explores at length an underrecognized periodical, The Farmer's Wife, which was the single nationally distributed farm journal for women in the twentieth century. Ultimately, the book's aim is to articulate an alternative mode of American modernism that had signal meaning and appeal for women, and to show how that mode clearly responded to prevalent attitudes in the culture at large.

Sango - Tongue Tied
Manage episode 337639382 series 2528086
Sango - "Tongue Tied (feat. asante)" from the 2022 album Great Lakes Influence on Wright Music Group.
Beloved former-Seattlite Sango recently returned with the mixtape Great Lake Influence in June, two years after the release of SHANGO. Described by the sought-after beatmaker as "A homage to where I'm from," the collection of songs sees Sango dip his toes in techno-house which is very of the moment, as we've seen Drake and Beyonce also delve into this realm with their recent releases.
Our Song of the Day, "Tongue Tied" is an excellent example of Sango's pristine ability to make something that's currently popular still sound fresh and unique. Bringing back frequent collaborator asante on vocals, the track is bright and bubbly and made for the dancefloor. Moving away from his prior South American influences toward more African sounds is a natural move and one that Sango does with ease.
On his website, Sango says, "I spend a lot of time thinking about how I can change things. I feel change is the first thing we as humans either love or hate. There isn't a middle. I took a side and I love change. It challenges me mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I also figured something out. I can't change the world, but I can change my world, which allows others to see inside of it and hopefully I can influence them to feel/do the same, and hopefully that trend goes on to the next person."

With so much more to say, I felt that a follow-up column on our Lake Mohave tour was in order.
And, of course, I thought a quote or two on boating would be inspiring. Unfortunately I couldn't find much on a couple of guys on a lake in a pontoon. So I turned to my old stand-by: Jimmy Buffett, the master poet, storyteller and singer-songwriter.
In August 2013, Buffett released his 28th studio album, which features one of my favorite tracks, "Somethin " Bout a Boat".
The opening words, for me, say it all:
âSomething about a boat. Sitting on the sea. Over there in the wind. Floating on the free. Take yourself around the world. Take you home. Give hope to a man. Something about a boat.
OK, we weren't at sea, and we weren't going around the world. Instead, we were touring Lake Mohave. But we were there "in the wind" (the rough water proved it). And we were floating "free", but I should qualify that statement, because it was not really free given the price of fuel in marinas.
But we knew our boat would take us back to Katherine Landing – where our adventure began – and the whole trip gave my friend Paul and I hope to see things we had never seen before.
So, yes, there is something about a boat.
As we made our way up the Black Canyon, toward the Hoover Dam, my thoughts turned to all the experiences Laureen and our children had on boats. We have owned boats for years and have enjoyed them all.
Well, not all of them; there was a couple that turned out to be a bit of a problem. My daughter Erica never lets me forget the phrase I used more than once when I came back to the platform: âWe're hot!
For those who do not know the nautical life, the boats do not have brakes. So when the throttle linkage breaks or other incidents occur that affect a boat's maneuvering function, it can be a difficult time for the captain and crew.
âEveryone, feet overboard. Prepare for the dock hug. I've said it so many times that I can't count that high.
"I'm barefoot, daddy," Kelly would usually reply.
âI just painted my nails,â Jessica complained.
Many of our trips have turned into saving the boat bows of the docks, or the docks of our boat, depending on your perspective.
Reverse is a great brake for a moving boat, but a captain's best friend is neutral. I write about those times when there's no reverse, no neutral, and forward movement is the only thing that happens.
As Laureen likes to say to her friends and enemies, âWe never went on vacation. Each outing turns into a kind of adventure.
As we walked past the Willow Beach Marina. Paul observed, âThat's not how I remember it. It was awesome. Lots of trees and old buildings. It was very cool."
As I mentioned in last week's column, Willow Beach Marina is very modern. It should have been. There is a tragic story about this place at the southern end of Black Canyon.
In 1974, a flash flood ravaged Black Canyon. Nine people died in Eldorado Canyon, a few miles south of Willow Beach.
According to the National Park Service, Black Canyon is so deep, narrow and steep that any sudden downpour can cause serious problems, not only for boaters, but also for those camping along the waterways.
After a few of these unfortunate occurrences, the Willow Beach Marina has been moved a bit inland and redesigned to what tourists see today.
Around 2010, the new facilities were completed, along with the magnificent 2,000-foot bridge spanning an expanse of 900 feet over the Colorado River, just south of the Hoover Dam. The US 93 was hijacked so that it no longer crosses the roadblock. Apparently there were too many headaches for park officials with lookie-loos stopping for a photo. And we cannot forget the possible terrorist suspects who might want to blow up the roadblock.
But, on our trip, the late afternoon finally brought perfect conditions: warm temperatures and calm water.
The canyon is rocky and high on both sides. The sky is only visible directly above you. Birds fly from one cliff to another. The only ripples on the water were those made by our boat. We were essentially alone, in the shadow of the past.
The geological wonders of the rock formations have told a story of millions, if not billions of years of formation. There are distinct linear lines along the cliffs that a geologist could point out and explain how the Earth has violently wavered through the eons.
"What year is it?" I asked.
Paul looked at me. âTwo thousand twenty-one. "
"Looking around, it doesn't look like this."
âYes, I expect to see an Abelisaurus around the next corner. "
I had to agree. The canyon was rough, old and definitely reminded me of what the area looked like during the Cretaceous Period. Having said that, I didn't want to see a 20ft tall killer dinosaur in front of us.
Black Canyon, however, is reminiscent of the past. The really distant past, before humans were here.
A few miles upstream, we noticed a wooden walkway threaded along the rock faces, about 50 feet above the river. The footbridge was driven into the cliffs with huge metal stakes, with a thick handrail wired down to the river. Two cable cars crossed the river near the footbridges at a distance of about half a mile.
– It's strange, I say.
Just then, a ranger dove into the canyon and slowed down near us. I asked about the gateways.
"When they were building the dam," said the ranger, "the men would walk along the catwalks, cross the river in cable cars and get on boats to take them upstream to the construction site."
Fascinating. I also found out that cable cars sometimes lead to water gauges along the canyon that check the depths of the river.
Maybe those wooden trails and cable cars served both purposes. When construction of the Hoover Dam (originally the Boulder Dam) began in 1931, construction workers lived north and south of the site. The workers would come south of Boulder City, which was a development planned in 1930 to house the 5,000 workers expected from the dam, and some might have come north by the river.
Anyway, as we got closer to the dam, the new US 93 bridge appeared. It truly is an engineering marvel, as thousands of tons of concrete sprawl the great distance through the turbulent waters below as I struggle to build a tool shed with even sides. .
At this point in the river, signs tell boaters: âNo view of the dam for you! Turn around now. Maybe it was more polite signs, but I like my interpretation.
A few shots from the cameras, and we turned around.
The canyon took on a whole new look as we headed south. New images emerged from the walls, as the sun shone here and there high above us. Shadows danced across the waters, giving the illusion of "things" looking back at us.
"Did you see this?" asked Paul. "I swear something was about to jump out of the river right at us."
"No, I didn't see anything," I replied, covering my eyes.
An hour later we found a cove where we camped for the night. It was pretty easy, especially since Lake Mohave has hundreds of coves along its shore. The late afternoon turned to twilight, which then turned to night.
Tiny bats hovered here and there – dozens, a few feet from the boat deck. It was strange. In fact, at one point I swore I saw a fairly large human-sized bat on top of the cliffs wrapped in a black cloak. But then again, I may have fallen asleep.
Morning came, as most do, and we made our way through amazingly flat water to Katherine Landing along the east coast. In the afternoon, we had toured Lake Mohave. Our mission was over.
If you own a boat or rent one for a few hours, the experience is definitely worth it on any body of water. Because, as Jimmy Buffett sings, there is really "something about a boat."
And he was certainly right.

The Jackery is a multi-purpose tool with DC input, three output plugs, a small torch built into the end, and a display. Is the torch suitable for most purposes? It is certainly a novelty, but it is unnecessary to an item that weighs six pounds. But is it worth the price? In this product review, we'll find out. This handy tool is described in detail below.
Jackery Explorer 1500
The Jackery Explorer 1500 is a great choice if you are looking for a portable power source. It has a 1488-watt-hour lithium-ion battery that can power up to 1,800 watts of load and trickle down to lower loads over long periods. Jackery's slogan is "Power Outdoors". This review will examine the pros and cons associated with the Explorer 1500. This portable power source is perfect for camping, hiking and fishing, as well as other outdoor activities.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 is a portable power source that provides power for backpacking, camping, and traveling. It's the same design and features as other Jackery products. The handle is hefty and orange colored. This portable power station can be recharged at anytime, making it a useful tool for all types of outdoor activities. But before you buy one, make sure you read our Jackery Explorer 1500 review.
The Explorer 1500 is the newer version of the power station. It is a bit more modern than its predecessor and has a port to charge Anderson solar panels. It also has a DC input port, which allows up to four Jackery Solar Panels of 100-watt to simultaneously recharge the Explorer 1500. With that much power, it will take about four hours for it to recharge fully. But if you plan on using it for long periods of time, it can save you money, too.
The Jackery 1500 Explorer Explorer is safe to use. It features a high-quality Battery Management System. It also comes with a one-button design. The Jackery 1500 Explorer includes an upgraded MPPT solar regulator, called Solarpeak Technology. This optimizes input and extracts sunlight under all conditions. This technology decreases the time required for solar recharging. Therefore, the Jackery 1500 is the best choice for outdoor activities.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 is a portable power station that can easily replace three electrical outlets. This device even has USB ports for charging smartphones. Its battery capacity can supply enough power for a small office. Pure sine wave technology ensures a high-quality output comparable to the power grid. The battery capacity and the inverter power are adequate for a small business. The Jackery Explorer 1500 has an enhanced user interface that addresses previous flaws. It can also accept higher input voltage making it an ideal portable source of power.
The Explorer 1500 also has a fast-charging capability. Two SolarSaga 100W panels can fully charge the Explorer 1500 in just 13 hours. You can also charge the battery faster by using two Jackery AC power converters. It takes just four hours to charge the Explorer 1500 up to 80% capacity using two AC power adapters. It will take six hours to fully charge the Explorer 1500 if you use one AC power adapter.
Jackery Explorer 220
The Jackery Explorer 240 is a popular portable solar charger. The maximum continuous output of the Jackery Explorer 240/250 is 200 watts. This means that a fully charged Jackery Explorer 240/250 can power a 100W device for up four hours. For comparison, a typical mobile battery lasts between 2.5 and three hours. To charge a mobile battery, you can use a Jackery 250/250 to increase its life expectancy by 20-25 times.
This portable power source can also be used to provide power for laptops, tablets, and smartphones. The Jackery 240's battery management system and inverter tech deliver balanced, clean power to your devices. The Jackery 240's motor runs quietly indoors, so it won't affect the air quality. It has a large capacity and can be customized to your specific needs. It can also be used to convert solar energy into useful power for your gadgets.
The Jackery Explorer 240 is a versatile product, and it works great for tailgaters, campers, and emergency preparedness. It has a 12V car outlet, 2 USB plugs, as well as a 110V AC socket. While it may not be waterproof, it is completely silent and has zero emissions. You can also purchase a separate solar panel for $200. The solar panels are not waterproof.
The Jackery Explorer 240 has plenty of empty space in its battery compartments. This is great for cooling, but the 300 version has more wattage and a larger battery. It is a portable power station that weighs six pounds. This makes it heavy and bulky. Although its portability is a plus, it is also an excellent choice for travelers. This charger will work well as long as you are aware of its limitations.
The Jackery Explorer 240 is a portable solar panel that can recharge itself via a wall outlet, car outlet, or solar panel. The Jackery Explorer 240 has an MPPT controller that can be used to manage the power output of portable devices. For those who need more power, the Jackery Explorer 500 or Sungzu 1000 Watts will suffice. The Jackery Explorer 240 is a great option for those on a tight budget who want to save money while camping.
The power-to-size ratio is important. A device that has a higher Watt measurement can run on a greater amount of power. Therefore, you must ensure the power to size ratio is right. The Jackery Explorer 240's surge power rating is 230W. It's quite impressive, but the surge power rating is much lower than that of a standard household device.
Jackery Explorer 300
This Jackery Explorer 300 product review will focus on the charging capabilities and battery lifetime. The battery life is excellent, powering devices like laptops and smartphones up to 125W for up to 30 charges and even drones for up to six charges. This means that this portable battery will last most people at least a weekend. The device should be charged at 70% to 90%, which is sufficient for most people's needs.
Any USB-C PD charger will charge the Jackery Explorer 300's lithium-ion battery. The charging time is longer if the charger is slow. Charging takes approximately 5.5 hours. This is significantly longer than the average time for this category. Keep in mind, however, that power stations can only charge at 80% to protect the batteries. A charge rate below 20 percent can dramatically reduce battery life. It is recommended that you use a power source with a higher rating than the Jackery Explorer 300.
If you're looking for a portable power source that can run a variety of electronic devices, the Jackery Explorer is a great choice. The Jackery Explorer produces 300W of pure sinewave electricity from a 293Wh rechargeable battery. This is enough to power small appliances such as a toaster, but it won't be enough for the whole house. Its power rating is sufficient to run a tablet or laptop, but not much more.
The Jackery Explorer 300's charge time is surprising for such a small device. A good PD USB-C charger can get the Explorer 300 from zero to 80 percent in just over two hours. That's pretty impressive compared to the few minutes some smartphones boast. Although the battery life is impressive it is quite expensive. In addition, the battery is not removable.
The Jackery Explorer 300 is a pioneering product in the field of moveable power. Its design is stylish, and it supports up to six devices. Its 300 watts of output are enough to power most smartphones and tablets. Another advantage is its portability and ease of usage. Its sleek design makes it easy-to-carry and portable. The Jackery Explorer 300 is a great option if you're in search of a portable, solar power station that can charge multiple devices.
The power station lets you charge and recharge your devices when you're not connected to the grid. While the device isn't ideal for hiking or remote jobsites, it's still useful if you need to recharge your battery on the go. It can be used anywhere that you don't have access to extension cords or power outlets. It also runs silently, so you'll never hear it. The Jackery Explorer 300 is not without its many advantages. However, it does have some drawbacks.
Jackery Portable Power Station Review
The Jackery Explorer 1000 portable power station is quiet, versatile, and affordable. It can provide clean power for your campsite. It is compatible with solar panels and completely silent. This Jackery portable powerstation review will discuss the pros and cons of the product. This review is based on my experience using the Jackery portable power station. It is highly recommended!
The Jackery Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station is a cost-effective way to bring plenty of clean, silent power to your campsite
The Explorer 1000 portable battery power station comes with solar panels and a battery. It can be expanded with additional solar panels or more battery capacity, provided you have enough space. The system can be built with multiple USB Type-C ports and a flexible electrical system that allows you to add outlets as you go. Its durable design makes it ideal for use on camping trips, but it's still easy to move around with it.
The Explorer 1000 comes with an AC adapter. However, it is also possible to use a 12V power source. It will take about seven hours to charge to 100 percent, and the portable power station comes with a power display that lets you see how much battery life you have left. You can also purchase the Explorer 1000 with SolarSaga 100 solar panels. They will provide up 100W of peak power.
The modern, sturdy design of the power station makes it a strong and reliable unit. It is made from sturdy black plastic with grey trim. However, it lacks durability and waterproofing. To prevent it from leaking, you will need to cover it. The resulting noise level will be lower than that of the battery-powered units, which are usually quite loud.
While the Jackery 1000 is not a "whole house" solution, it can solve your problem of running water, communication, and heat if you're desperate for it. It's a great choice for camping, but you need to know how often and how much. A 300 watt rice cooker can drain 44% of the battery's power in 15 minutes.
It is also compatible with solar panel systems
The company offers solar panels in addition to the Jackery portable powerstation. The SolarSaga 100-Watt model, which is compatible with solar panels, features a charging station with USB outlets. The shipping date for this unit is between two and three business days, and delivery time is usually four to eight business days, depending on the destination. It is possible for transit times to be delayed and are subject to change.
The Jackery power station can handle the amperage generated by solar panels. If you wish to use your own panels, the connectors must be 8 mm. You will need an adapter cable that connects your solar panels to the Jackery unit. Renogy can supply this cable. An identical cable is also available to Richsolar panels and Newpowa.
There are many Jackery portable power stations. Choose the one that best fits your needs. The Explorer 160 is ideal for charging mobile devices. The Explorer 1000 and 1500 are good for charging larger items, and are also compatible with solar panels. The Compact Explorer is smaller and lighter than the Explorer range. You can buy two or more units and combine them together with solar panels to create an Ultimate Solar Charging Station.
The Explorer 2000 Pro is ideal for larger vehicles, job sites and backup power. It is not recommended for vanlifers or overlanders. The smaller units can charge from zero to eighty percent in four hours. The power station can charge multiple solar panels simultaneously, so you can maximize your charging capacity. The Jackery Explorer 500 Pro and Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro are great options for larger vehicles. However, they have limited power so may need to be used in parallel.
It's quiet
A portable power station has many benefits. A portable power station is quiet and requires no gas. It can also be used to charge your electronic devices and power your RV's electrical outlets when the RV power goes out. Regardless of whether you're a full-time RVer or a weekend warrior, you'll appreciate the convenience of the Jackery Explorer 240. The integrated battery management system ensures that your portable power supply runs smoothly even in power outages.
Another advantage is its size. At about the size of a microwave, the Jackery Explorer 1000 portable power station can keep your electronics running for hours, if not days. A good thing about the Jackery Explorer 1000 is that it's quiet, so you won't have to worry about being overheated or running out of power. Plus, you can use it wherever you need it, since it's compact and light enough to fit into your backpack or car.
The Jackery Explorer 240 has four charging ports. Each one has two USB outlets for use with multiple devices. Another benefit is its AC/DC port and the fact that the Jackery is silent. This feature is not available in all power stations but it is worth noting as some of them lack enough ports to support a laptop. A portable power station is your best friend if you don't use your laptop.
Jackery's portable power station is small, which is one of its best features. It's quite large, but it doesn't seem bulky. The Jackery Explorer 1000 makes a great choice if you want something lightweight and portable but still offers all the features you need. Jackery portable power station is quiet
It's versatile
The Jackery portable powerstation is a great backup plan if you're constantly on the move. The power station has a 240 watt lithium-ion battery that can power up four devices. Its lightweight design makes it easy to transport. The unit can charge smartphones or tablets and has an LED flashlight. The flashlight is useful for navigation and can be viewed as a novelty by some.
One downside to the Jackery portable power station is that it doesn't daisy-chain with other power stations, limiting its uses to full-time vanlife. This means it's best for short-term travel rather than full-time vanlife. The station comes with a 2-year warranty and hassle-free returns. Jackery also offers professional service that is second to none. Jackery can assist you with any problems, repairs, or replacements.
The Jackery Explorer 500 is another excellent option. It can power multiple devices simultaneously and has numerous ports to support most applications. The Explorer 500, which can hold larger electronics and is 13 pounds in weight, is especially useful. It's a lot cheaper than competing models and comes with a built-in handle, so it's easy to carry. The Jackery Explorer 500 is a great option if you are looking for a portable power source for camping.
One of the greatest benefits of the Jackery portable power station is that it can charge multiple devices at the same time. This portable power station is easy to carry around and can be used to charge your smartphone, laptop, or other small electronics. Its 144-watt battery offers sufficient power for most small electronic devices. It has an automatic shutoff that limits its output power at 500 watts.
It's huge
If you're looking for a portable power source that's both powerful and portable, consider the Jackery portable power station. The Explorer weighs in at seven pounds and the EVO 300 is the largest. However, the Explorer is lightweight and is about the same size as a handheld radio. Both power sources can be used with small electronics and mobile phones. If you are looking for a lighter, smaller power source, the Jackery Explorer 300 is a good option.
The Jackery Portable Power Station can be used as a backup power source in the event of your RV's failure to turn on. You can power anything in your RV or even outside with this power source. It can power a laptop computer, LED lights and other electronic devices. This device can also be used to power outdoor activities such as picnics or sports games. It doesn't require gasoline, so you can use it indoors or outside without worrying about the noise or exhaust.
The Jackery Explorer 1500 portable power station is a high-quality product that has received almost perfect 5-star reviews by real users. The device has a power output of more than one thousand watt-hours. Although the Power Station is a bit expensive, it's still a convenient option for emergency power. Even the largest power station in the line, the Jackery Explorer 1000, weighs only 22 pounds.
The Explorer 1000 is a great product, but it's also very easy to use. It includes all the connectors and ports you need to power your portable power supply. It can be charged with its AC/DC adapters. The Explorer 1000 weighs 22 lbs, making it easy for you to carry. It also comes with a flashlight. Although some may find it a bit gimmicky this is a great feature to navigate in the dark.
Jackery Solar Generator
The Jackery Solar Generator is portable power station that can plug into a car or wall outlet. It can also be charged by solar panels. The Jackery Solar generator can provide a larger backup battery if you are concerned about its size. These generators have a power output of 240 watts and 408 watts, respectively. You might consider purchasing a smaller generator if you are concerned about its size.
240 watts
The Jackery Explorer is a portable power source that can be used outdoors. It has been designed with safety in view. It can power small electronics and recharge batteries. You can use it to charge small appliances and recharge it using optional solar panels. It can be plugged in and left to recharge itself if you don't plan on using it for a while. It can be plugged in again and used again. In addition to its portable power, the Jackery Explorer is safe and easy to transport.
While the Jackery 240 isn't powerful enough to replace your RV's electricals, it is still more than enough to power most gadgets. It also features a USB output so that you can charge your phone or laptop while you are away from your RV. However, it doesn't solve all your van life problems. The Jackery 240, despite its efficiency, is not a replacement for your main electricals. It is a great second power source for RVs.
The 240 watts Jackery solar generator is compatible with 60W and 100W solar panels. To charge, it needs to be in direct sunlight and in good weather. It can be recharged in approximately 5.5 hours with the 100w and 7.5 with the 60W panels. This generator can be used for camping, hiking, and even on boats. But if you're not sure which one to choose, there are a lot of other choices available.
The Jackery Explorer portable power source, 240 watts, comes with a charger, an AC adapter, as well as a manual. It's designed to recharge multiple USB devices at the same time. But it's not recommended for using high-wattage devices like laptops, cameras, and phones. The Jackery Explorer 240 is not recommended for use when your device requires more power than 200W.
If you intend to use your adapter in a US campsite, you'll need one. US pedestals use the same socket connectors as household mains. This means you don't need an adapter if you're camping in the UK, but if you are in doubt, you can buy one here. However, the charging cable measures only two meters in length, which could be a problem for long journeys.
The Jackery Explorer 240 is a good one-trick pony that provides hours of power. Despite its small size, it is extremely durable and safe for outdoor use. Jackery has partnered to Honda to sell identical power station under the "Honda by Jackery" label. Amazon sells a Jackery Explorer 244 at 240 watts for $79.
With optional solar panels (cost $200), the Jackery Explorer 240 can be charged in just 10 hours. To charge your 240-watt solar panel, you can also use a 12V car charger. Although the Jackery's 240-watt output isn't waterproof, it can last several years. It's also completely silent and emits zero emissions. You can also check compatibility of the 240-watt power supply with your car.

The Digital Drop: Dollar, dollar bills y'all
YouTube is the star of the show again this week, as we dive head first into YouTube's contribution to the US economy. Also on the agenda, we've got the latest news source for UK adults and a platform that is being ditched by creators. Let's waste no time and get straight into this week's Digital Drop.
Image Source: Oxford Economics - The State of the Creator Economy
Dollar, dollar bills y'all
YouTube is core to the creator economy but recent stats show the video-streaming platform is significant to the US economy too.
A study showed that YouTube contributed $25 billion+ to the US economy in 2021, supporting over 425,000 full-time jobs. The creator platforms and initiatives of YouTube's ecosystem have proved to support creators, with over 6,000 surveyed as part of the study.
It's not just creators however who reap the benefits. SMBs in the US also shared their success with 72% of creative entrepreneurs stating that revenue generated from YouTube advertising is an important income source for them.
We've spoken about YouTube shopping and how it might be the competitive advantage over TikTok but YouTube can also leverage its creator benefits.
YouTube makes it seamless for creators to make YouTube Shorts, raising a massive threat to TikTok. Plus, YouTube offers multiple different avenues of monetisation for creators whereas TikTok is still playing catch-up.
Despite TikTok being the most popular app of the moment, YouTube may continue to reign supreme as the favourite platform for creators.

Creators are ditching Twitch
Ali Kabbani, better known as 'Myth' is one of the latest streamers to dump Twitch for YouTube.
Although Twitch remains a popular channel for streamers, it seems more and more creators are heading over to YouTube to level up their careers.
Lily Ki who streams under 'LilyPichu' also announced a new deal with YouTube, stating that she "wasn't really going anywhere" with Twitch and wanted to "get paid" on YouTube.
Although most streamers haven't given a reason for their departure, it does seem that YouTube could be offering monetisation opportunities that Twitch isn't. Earlier this year, Twitch announced plans to reduce earnings from streamers from 70% to 50% which left creators unhappy.
Twitch may have seen the error of its ways as it recently reduced the minimum threshold for creator payouts to $50 which is half its original amount but whether that will keep creators is an unanswered question.
Will more creators continue to break up with Twitch? Can the platform win back the hearts of creators? We'll have to wait and see. *ominous music*

I saw it on TikTok
Another conventional way of living bites the dust as new reports show that TikTok is the fastest growing news source for adults.
That's right, rather than starting the morning or ending the evening watching the news on TV, it seems more Brits are getting their news from TikTok.
In 2020, only 1% of adults used TikTok as a news source and this has since risen to 7%. Considering how negative the news was during those two years (global pandemic and war to name a few), it's no surprise that people turned off the TV.
It's not just adults who are shifting their sources as the Ofcom report shows that teens (12-15) use Instagram for news, closely followed by TikTok and YouTube.
We wonder how long it will be before The Digital Drop is cited as the most popular news source…let's give it another year.
This week in Media
It's pronounced PorshUH
It's been full speed ahead as we helped Porsche launch their first ever esports racing tournament!
Held on Gran Turismo 7, the Porsche Esports Challenge USA features a $30,000 prize pool and is the first of its kind for Porsche.
We've been cooking this one up since initially working with Porsche in 2020, so it's been awesome to see our vision finally coming to life with this huge project.
One for the Kairos Media record books for sure.
Make sure you're back here next week; same time, same day, more news and stats.
For real-time announcements, you can follow our social media channels – there's plenty more to see there.

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has recently set up an expert committee to frame new laws for medicines, cosmetics and medical devices in a bid to replace the existing Drugs and Cosmetics Act which was formed in 1940. An eight-member committee headed by the drug regulator has been formed by the ministry of health and family welfare. The committee will have to submit the draft by November 30.
At present, there is no distinction between the regulatory treatment of drugs and medical devices. The Drugs and Cosmetics (D&C) Act, 1940 regulates the import, manufacture, distribution and sale of drugs and cosmetics. Both drugs and medical devices are now regulated by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) under the health ministry.
According to the health ministry, the committee shall undertake pre-legislative consultations and examine the present Act, previously framed drugs and cosmetics bills and submit a draft document for a de-novo drugs, cosmetics and medical devices bill by November 30, 2021.
Prior to this move, the health ministry had issued a notification to regulate all medical devices. Last year, the ministry had brought medical devices within the regulatory ambit, treating them as a category of drugs to regulate them. As of today, 37 medical device categories have been notified and regulated under the Medical Devices Act 2017.

Neal Applauds Biden's American Jobs Plan
Springfield, MA, March 31, 2021
SPRINGFIELD, MA—Today, House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement applauding President Biden's American Jobs Plan:
"While on the campaign trail, President Biden promised Americans he would Build Back Better, and today's announcement is the next step in capitalizing on this once-in-a-century moment to create a stronger, safer, greener, and more sustainable America for all. Much has been lost at the hands of this devastating pandemic, and this is the time to invest in our nation's infrastructure to reinvigorate our economy and uplift workers and families.
"The President's plan recognizes that some things are not negotiable—Americans need access to clean drinking water; underserved communities need long overdue access to broadband; and we must act aggressively on countering the effects of climate change. Most of all, Americans need to be able to count on the resiliency of our infrastructure to keep us competitive on the global stage and to keep our economy roaring forward in the better days that lie ahead.
"I'm hopeful that Congress can once again come together, build on the success of the American Rescue Plan, and make President Biden's infrastructure package law. We cannot miss this chance to level the playing field for communities that have been left behind and spread opportunity for all Americans. The Ways and Means Committee welcomes this ambitious proposal and looks forward to working with the Biden Administration on crafting legislation that can garner wide support and deliver for the American people."

"Religion is the opium of the people" -Karl Marx
The struggles between Religion and science has always been around since rational thought and free-thinking but those who disbelieve in a deity and use the powers of logic and reasoning are no different than blind followers. The modern human has always tied the word religion with god as religion itself is exclusive to a god or divine being. it is not always the case. The rise of atheism, where people do not believe in a god or deity is culturally accepted. Personally, I do. But to some human beings, the religious part is still stuck in to them, and whether it's god or no god, they still think the same. Some atheists today will talk about science in such a religious level. The boasting that science proves everything is the same as a fundamentalist christian saying the bible is everything. Two different upbringings, same style.
Once god-based religion is eliminated from human society which could take a matter of centuries or even millenniums, Atheism, or another form atheistic religion will take over. It will be another cultural battle between the secular atheists and religious atheists. The ones that don't believe in a god and accept that fact, and the ones that will worship the values of science and free-thinking. Scientists through-out history will be talked as if they were prophets. Most 21st century atheists would deny this fact since culturally, mainly atheists are a bit stubborn and up to their own fact which proves to me that the religious part is kicking into their belief system.
The point is not that who is right or wrong, the point is that the ones who despise the zealous believers are becoming who they intended on defeating in their first place. It is simply ironic how that even happens.
American Atheists is a beacon of influence and continues to grow everyday to turn the common atheist into a religious atheist.
Still don't think AA is a religion? If they don't believe in a god, then why can't it be just that and not have this silly logo that represents them?
Where's the no god part of that? That shows you one thing. Science. As it implies that all atheists are science fanatics which is NOT TRUE.
See, they're using science as a dogma to convert the secular atheism into some religious science cultists that is the start of a technocratic nation.

Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi is, without a doubt, the best player in the world currently. His left foot is regarded as one the best in the history of the game, while his intelligence and precision are also second to none.
The 29-year-old Argentine playmaker has scored over 500 career goals for club and country. However, the one surprising statistic about Messi is his penalty conversion rate. Out of 92 spot kicks that he has taken so far at the senior level, he has missed an astonishingly high 20. His success rate is just 78.26%.

While some these penalty misses were of little significance as Messi's side eased past the opponents, few others went on to become the deciding factor in the result of the match. On that note, here we have listed the five biggest penalty misses by the Argentine legend.
#5 2011 Copa Del Rey vs Real Betis
Coming into this match, Barcelona were unbeaten in 28 games. They had already won the first leg of the Copa Del Rey fixture 5-0 against Segunda Divison club Real Betis at home and were expected to ease past the minnows in the second leg.
Although manager Pep Guardiola rested some of the regulars, the likes of Messi, Xavi and Pique were retained in the line-up. Surprisingly, though, Betis were 2-0 up with only seven minutes on the clock. Messi scored an excellent goal but Betis regained their two-goal advantage moments before half-time.
Early, into the second half, Barcelona were presented the opportunity to get one goal back when they were awarded a penalty for a hand-ball incident. Messi, however, skied his poor effort leaving the crowd in disbelief. Barcelona went on to lose the match 3-1.
The error from the best player in the world brought about jeers on the internet while the commentators suggested that the Argentine was human after all. Ironically, only a day before, Adidas had released a new video congratulating Messi on his 2011 Ballon d'Or award.
#4 2013 Spanish Super Cup final vs Atletico Madrid
Barcelona were hosting Atletico Madrid in the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup. Th first leg at the Vicente Calderon had ended in a 1-1 draw and the stakes were high as the winner would take home the first trophy of the season.
Owing to Atletico's superior defence, the game was tied at 0-0. However, they seemed to lose their discipline in the final moments as Felipe Luis was sent off. Moments later Pedro was tripped by Miranda in the area and Barcelona were handed a penalty kick.
The decision itself was a harsh one but Messi had the chance to put the game to bed once and for all. However, the Argentine sent his spot-kick against the crossbar as Atletico stopper Thibaut Courtois dived in the wrong direction. The crowd was astonished as the ball ricocheted off the woodwork.
Overall, Messi failed to shine in the match but had the chance to cap it off with the winner. Although Barcelona went on to win the trophy – for a record 11 times – on away goals, Messi's penalty miss was the headlines in every newspaper.
#3 2014 International Friendly vs Brazil
Argentina had fallen behind fierce rivals Brazil in the 28th minute when Diego Tardelli latched onto a defensive error by Federico Fernandez and Pablo Zabaleta and found the back of the net.
However, the Argentinians were presented with an opportunity to level the scores when Angel Di Maria was fouled by Danila inside the penalty box. A goal at this juncture would have given Argentina the momentum to take something away from the match and captain Messi stood up to take the kick from 12 yards.
But the Barcelona star's tame attempt was easily saved by Brazilian custodian Jefferson. In the second half, Tardelli scored yet another goal from a header as the match ended 2-0 in favour of Brazil.
Messi later rued his missed chance as he said, "The match was determined by our two errors. The error in the first goal and the penalty were the defining factors. If it had been converted, it would have changed the match."
#2 2012 UEFA Champions League semi-final vs Chelsea
Chelsea had already won the first leg of the Champions League fixture at Stamford Bridge by the narrowest of margins and had hoped that they would be able to hold on to their away goal advantage at the Nou Camp.
The London side were reduced to 10 men when John Terry was showed the red card and were trailing 2-0 in the semi-final fixture. Just before half-time, they did manage to pull one back through Ramires.
However, just three minutes into the 2nd half, the Blues' hopes of holding on to their away goal advantage were dealt a blow as Didier Drogba fouled Cesc Fabregas inside his own penalty area.
Messi, who had never scored against Chelsea stopper Petr Cech, stepped up to seal it for Barcelona. Incredibly, though, he could not even force Cech into making a save as his shot rebounded off the post. Barcelona went on to lose the fixture 2-3 on aggregate as Chelsea made their way into the finals and a few days later lifted the trophy.
#1 2016 Copa America final vs Chile
This is probably Lionel Messi's biggest miss in his career in terms of the magnitude of the fixture. Argentina were facing Chile in the 2016 Copa America final – a rematch of the 2015 Copa America final which Chile had won.
The game was tied 0-0 after regulation time and even extra time could not produce a winner. Thereby the game was to be decided by the penalty shootout. Arturo Vidal had missed the opening spot kick and Chile were in a vulnerable position.
Messi stepped up to take the opening penalty for his side, carrying the hopes of the entire nation for the first major trophy in almost two decades. The forward took his time in setting up his shot. However, the burden of expectations proved to be too heavy as Messi blazed his shot high over the crossbar.
Chile went on to retain their Copa America trophy, winning 4-2 in the shootout as Argentina never really recovered from Messi's unfortunate miss. Just after the game, the Argentine superstar announced his retirement from International football only to make a comeback in September.

"I can empathize doon sa feeling of you just want to be treated as a human being kung anuman 'yung orientation na gusto mo."
Yeng Constantino introduced for the first time her sibling Kukie, a transwoman, in her latest vlog published on Tuesday, May 17.
In the 11-minute video, the OPM singer had a heart-to-heart conversation with Kukie and her struggles as a member of the LGBT community in this society.
Personally, Yeng said she has long accepted her sibling despite not having a full grasp of her sexual orientation.
"Aaminin ko rin siguro na I will never be able to understand it. Wala ako sa katawan mo, eh," she said to Kukie. "Pero I can empathize doon sa feeling of you just want to be treated as a human being kung anuman 'yung orientation na gusto mo."

It also helped that their parents have always been supportive of them, even to Yeng and her choice to become an artist.
Citing her own experience, Yeng shared, "Kumbaga sa akin, puwede namang ipilit talaga ng magulang natin na hindi ako maging artist. 'Di po kasi ako academically sobrang okay na bata."
"Siguro kung naging mapilit ang mga magulang ko na dapat academically well-achieved ka na bata para ma-accept ka, siguro sobrang mahihirapan ako," she said. "I'm just really grateful na may mga magulang tayo na parang tinanggap 'yung quirk ko."
The 33-year-old singer also reiterated her support for her sibling, who wishes nothing but her happiness in life.
"Eto 'yung identity niya, and it's something I will never be able to fully, fully understand. But I am for you, I want you to be happy, I want you to be healthy, I want you to live a full life," she said.
Yeng hopes her vlog with her sibling will become an eye-opener to people who are quick to judge others based on what they see. "Because they're different, we judge them doon sa panlabas."
"I hope we will be more open, compassionate, and loving kasi 'yun ang kailangan ng mundo," she added.

Imagine having to come from a long day of work just to find your car towed away because you forgot to feed the parking meter. It's not only frustrating but an inconvenience that will end up costing you time and money. There are also chances that you'll find a ticket staring at you on the windshield, and this is a hideous ploy by the boys in blue or the council officers. If you are living in any of the major cities, then this is for you! Here are useful tips that will help you get rid of your parking issues.
1. Seek Help
If you ever get a parking ticket, don't fight it, just call for help as this can get you out of this mucky situation. If you've been handed a parking ticket, then the last thing you'll want is to argue with the officer on duty. Parking tickets are inevitable for anyone who owns a car. If you ever find yourself in such a dilemma, there's an app for fighting tickets that you can use to reach out to an attorney who'll help to protect you against any lawsuit. The best part is that such attorneys can provide you with a risk-free guarantee and this means having provided them with enough evidence to help in defending your case. It doesn't get any better than this considering the amount of money you'll pay in penalties.
2. Check For Parking Signs
If you are driving in unfamiliar locations, you must check for any parking signs. There are signage and traffic signs that will alert you and inform you of the next steps to take. You need to pay attention to these signs as any unlawful activities in such locations can land you in a lot of trouble. You need to check out for handicap parking zones, areas designated for hybrid cars, and parking meter signs. You'll have peace of mind knowing that you have observed any parking requirements and instructions.
3. Patience Is The Key Word
There's no need to fight over a parking spot with the other motorist. A gazillion parking spots are waiting just for you if you are patient enough. Road and parking rage are real. These are issues that can land you in legal problems. The last thing you want is to have to defend yourself before a judge because you were impatient and took it out with the other driver. It's understandable that you've had a long day at work and need to get a few supplies here and there. But these are not enough reasons to be ticketed on your favorite parking spot.
4. Reserve Your Parking Spot
You have the option to reserve a parking spot whenever you want to avoid a parking ticket. This is why most high-end hotels have valet parking features. This doesn't mean that you have to go to a hotel every time you want to park your car. There are parking subscriptions that you can take advantage of depending on your state of residence.
The above are but some of the ways you can avoid a parking ticket. The right parking strategies help to ease congestion in cities as well as carpool situations. Parking has become a huge demand and one that is costing motorists valuable time and resources. Ensure that you have a parking strategy before you get handed a parking ticket.

For new energy technologies, the time elapsed from the time a breakthrough is made in the lab until it is validated, scaled, piloted, and then widely marketed, it can take years, if not decades. But in the race to avoid the most damaging impacts of global warming, the need for negative emissions technologies is urgent.
Negative emission technologies, or NETs – also known as carbon removal technologies – remove carbon dioxide from the air or other sources or enhance natural carbon sinks, such as forests and soil. Recently, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded that limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius and avoiding the most catastrophic impacts of climate change will require the use of NETs by mid-century.
At the Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), researchers like Hanna breunig, which specializes in techno-economic analysis, has worked for years with scientists on energy technologies such as hydrogen and biofuels. Now, they've rolled up their sleeves to dig deeper into emerging negative emissions technologies, helping scientists make their innovations more competitive and impactful.
Q. What is your background and your expertise?
My doctorate is in civil and environmental engineering, and in my doctoral thesis I studied underground injection of CO2 and the use of CO2 in industry. I worked with [Berkeley Lab scientists] Thomas McKone, Jens Birkholzer and Curt Oldenburg to understand the scale, cost and potential impacts of CO2 conversion and sequestration options.
At the Berkeley Lab, there has been a real push to pair fundamental science researchers with people like me who are familiar with market analysis, technology deployment, and scenario modeling. Incorporating techno-economic analysis into research and development can not only help science have a competitive impact, it can also help compare technologies and decide what to invest in. I'm not just thinking of the costs. I am also thinking of the implications of the life cycle. You want to know that any negative emissions technology deployed can reduce CO2 concentrations without creating unacceptable impacts in other categories, such as the generation of critical air pollutants.
Q. Can you give me an example of how your analysis might guide R&D?
I worked with [Berkeley Lab materials scientist] Jeff Long on his metal-organic frameworks, or MOF [read about âA Sponge to Soak Up Carbon Dioxideâ], for hydrogen storage. He is also studying MOFs for the direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The real thing he wanted to understand was how to tie the discovery and design of materials together with very practical engineering principles to impact the cost. Sophisticated techno-economic analysis is needed to connect and translate information between these different disciplines to guide research and development.
For example, on DAC technology, my research can determine the importance of having a system that releases CO2 very easily after capture under mild conditions, or of having a system that can adsorb tons and tons of CO2 in a cycle. There are often trade-offs between capital investment and operating costs, but MOFs are renowned for their adaptability, and perhaps the two challenges facing DAC can be overcome.
Q. Interesting. How would you rate these compromises? What kind of analyzes do you do?
In a first pass, I create almost black box process models, where I start at a very high level and model the new technological component based on the properties of known materials and fundamental engineering principles. It's a valuable exercise because we rarely have prototypes or pilot systems to guide us. From this black box model, we can understand the number of MOF filled units needed for a given target CO2 capture, the energy requirements and all the necessary infrastructure around it – compressors, cooling units. refrigeration. Then depending on where I assume the DAC systems are deployed in the United States, I can estimate the cost of the source of electricity or heat and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with that energy. Comparing the cost and emissions from power consumption with the capital cost of the system helps me to draw some preliminary conclusions before I delve deeper into the DAC process models.
I also do a sensitivity analysis. I could modify, for example, how this material would work in theory if its adsorption looks like this; how does that affect the costs compared to if its kinetics changed a bit? And scientists would help guide me through this sensitivity analysis to say, okay, here's a low and a high number of what we're seeing in our research or what's even theoretically possible. This way I tinker with my model in a very reasonable way.
Q. At what point in their research do you start working with scientists?
If you know the âtechnological readiness levelâ scale, where TRL 1 is conceptual and TRL 9 is a system launched and successful under real conditions, I can do a techno-economic analysis for each of them. Even at TRL 10 there is a troubleshooting, or you enter a new political landscape and the developers want to understand their next decision. And at the concept level, it may just help scientists begin to assess the feasibility of different designs or determine which existing technologies their system would even compete against. So it's almost more of a market analysis and engineering design exercise at this point.
Q. Are there any special considerations when analyzing the techno-economic analysis of negative emission technologies as opposed to other energy technologies?
Without systems analysis to guide deployment, negative emissions technology could be very expensive or worse, very inefficient. There are a number of different negative emission technologies beyond DAC, but I'll focus on that since I used it as an example. If you run the DAC on a power grid that runs on natural gas and coal, it is estimated that you are actually emitting more CO2 than what is captured. But if you use DAC by using renewable electricity, you will emit less CO2 than what is captured. So if you say your technology costs $ 500 to capture a ton of CO2, but half a ton is emitted due to energy use, we're actually only compensating for half a ton. So now it's $ 1,000 to make up a ton. These are the kinds of discussions I can help add real numbers to.
Second, what you do with that captured CO2 is important. Converting it to another chemical or storing it underground has an associated energy penalty. Thus, there are a multitude of issues around the lifecycle that can be case specific and therefore very difficult to communicate.
Finally, we must take into account the logistics. We need to know where the CO2 is captured. Without that part, it's difficult to model the supply chain and answer questions about whether to store it or convert it on-site or transport that CO2 to a place where you can do something with it. We cannot allocate all of our limited renewable energy resources to negative emission technologies, so we will need to be careful about where we deploy DAC based on these renewable energy resources, as well as CO2 sources and options. CO2 sequestration. So I'm going to think very critically about the supply and also the coupling of these systems. While many of these technologies are increasing in technological maturity, their coupling is still in its infancy.

Autumn is a funny time in Los Angeles: the leaves stubbornly affixed to their trees, the hoi polloi going about in all manner of t-shirts and flip-flops. As the 92-degree days bleed into 85-degree days bleed into 79-degree days, you could be forgiven for not quite realizing that summer is over until it's pouring rain and Vons starts offering specials on heart-shaped boxes of chocolates.
Here, then, are eight helpful ways you can tell when fall has arrived in God's one true city, Los Angeles:
8) American Apparel Billboards Start To Look Almost PG-Rated
That billboard with four girls in swimsuits giving off looks of unimaginable lust that nearly makes you crash your car every time you drive by on the way to work? Sometime in September or October, it's replaced with one of a girl in a sweater. Without pants. But still with a look of unimaginable lust. Or is that melancholy? The changing of the American Apparel ads is our very own changing of the leaves — beautiful, bittersweet, drenched in nostalgia…

7) Jews Are Always On Vacation
It's unclear why the Chosen People decided to cram all their holidays into one month, but it confuses the hell out of the gentiles every year.
"Another holiday? Weren't you just off last week?"
"That was the Jewish New Year."
"And what's today?"
"Day of atonement."
"And next week?"
"That's the one where we build a little house outside and sleep in it."
"You just made that last one up didn't you?"
"Are you oppressing me?"
6) Everyone Becomes Obsessed With Baseball
Once-unfamiliar words like "Doyers," "pennant" and "back-door slider" become part of the daily lexicon around here, at least when the Dodgers are doing well – which they are, thanks to the arrival of Yasel Puig and that guy with the beard. That means Echo Park becomes inundated with bros, skulking about the streets in search of cheap beer and bacon-wrapped hot dogs.
5) The Drive to Malibu is Downright Reasonable
Pro: It only takes like 45 minutes to drive to Malibu.
Con: The water is freezing – and everyone at the beach is dressed like they're in Scotland.
4) But Traffic During the Week is Horrible
During July and August, just enough people are on vacation, and just enough school buses are resting safely in their parking lots for traffic on many streets and freeways to flow like mighty rivers, or at least relatively healthy tributaries.
Then all of sudden, everything reverts to one massive parking lot, miserably lurching forward.

3) Hipsters Start to Plan Their Halloween Costumes
Over in the tri-hipster area of Los Feliz, Silver Lake and Echo Park, you can't talk to anyone for five minutes without them saying, "You start your Halloween costume yet?"
And you're like, "Dude, it's only… what month is it?"
And they're like, "Yeah bro, it's September. You better get on it!"
2) New Yorkers Are Completely Insufferable
You're walking down the street on a gorgeous day: bright blue sky, cool breeze, sun glistening off the car windshields like some magical disco space fantasy… and then some fucking New Yorker (actually they're probably from Jersey or upstate New York, whatever that means) longingly says, "I do miss the seasons…" Unless you change the conversation immediately to either Woody Allen or cronuts, they'll continue with their wistful reverie – the leaves changing colors, the scarves, the seasonable Pumpkin Spice lattes at Starbucks. Shut up already!
1) The Santa Ana Winds
In the immortal words of Raymond Chandler, in the fall we get "those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen."
There's nothing quite like the feeling you get during the first Santa Ana winds of autumn – your eyes tear up, your nose starts to run, your hands and feet get cold, and everything is dry. It's a subtle kind of misery, brought about by those snarling winds that writers can't help but wax poetic about. If you're feeling especially mean, for no reason at all, blame it on the Santa Anas, and know that fall is upon us.

According to the first large-scale study on the long-term risks of omicron, it is less likely to cause COVID than delta.
The study revealed that almost 5% of those who get omicron still have symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog and headaches at least one month after being infected.
Some researchers found these results to be reassuring. Others find the findings alarming. Omicron is still a serious disease that can infect people worldwide.
"That's frightening," Dr. Akiko Iwasaki (an immunobiologist at Yale School of Medicine) says. She studies COVID for a long time but wasn't involved in the new research.
"People assume that omicron is milder than it actually is.
The Lancet published the findings on Thursday by researchers from King's College London. They have been following thousands of people who tested positive for coronavirus to determine the likelihood of long-term COVID from different variants.
"The fundamental question we are trying to answer is: "Is long COVID just as common in the delta period [as in the omicron]?" Claire Steves, Dr. Claire Steves was involved in the research. "What is the chance of getting long COVID given the different variants?"
Researchers compared 56,003 people who were ill with omicron between Dec. 20, 2021 and March 9, 2022 to 41,361 people who had been ill with delta between June 1, 2021 and Nov. 27, 2021. They also kept track of their symptoms via a special app.
Researchers found that people who had omicron were half as likely to have health problems one month later than those who had delta.
Steves said that the risk of getting long COVID with the omicron version is significantly lower than the delta variant. That's fantastic news, isn't it?
This is especially important because omicron can be contagious and has spread to a large number of people very quickly. The risk of getting long COVID would have been much higher if it was the same as delta.
These findings are consistent with an earlier, smaller analysis by the British government.
However, a lower risk doesn't mean that people should not be concerned about long COVID due to omicron. Steves and other experts agree. According to the study, 4.4% of people can get long COVID from Omicron, while almost 10.8% are from Delta.
"The caveat is the fact that the omicron variant spread quickly through our population, so a much greater number of people have been affected. Steves states that the number of people likely to receive long COVID is expected to increase. "So we are not going to cut services for long COVID.
However, for each individual, the results do show that there is a lower chance of getting seriously ill or developing persistent symptoms.
The study didn't address the reason why omicron may be less likely to cause long-term COVID. Steves and others agree that omicron is less likely to cause persistent symptoms than delta, which makes it more plausible.
Steves explains that because the disease is less severe and it appears to be more superficial, it has a lower impact on our immune system. This is reducing the likelihood of COVID lasting a long time.
These findings should be supported by further research, according to other researchers.
"They looked at anyone who reported symptoms via this app. "They didn't evaluate these patients in any clinic or collect objective data," Dr. Michael Sneller, who studies COVID long-term at the National Institutes of Health, said.
Sneller said that he wouldn't be surprised if omicron causes less COVID, as it seems to cause less severe illnesses.
Researchers hope that the findings will change the perception that people shouldn't worry about COVID long term from omicron.
"We're saying that you can remove your masks from airplanes. To enter a restaurant, you don't have to be vaccinated. "All of these policy decisions will increase the chance that people get infected by COVID, even though there's still an 5% chance for severe chronic illness," Dr. David Putrino of Mount Sinai in New York City, who treats COVID long-term. "That's a shortsighted approach that will lead to a lot long-term disability that didn't need to be there.
