Questa ha messo il camminatore in un buco di stanza più lungo che largo e lavora in piedi, camminando. Ne fa gran lode del beneficio per la salute. Secondo me una metafora migliore della ruota del criceto non si poteva trovare. Se torna il lockdown però potrebbe essere un'idea.

Money quote: “These days, I walk during most meetings and sometimes when I read. I rarely walk when I need to write something longer than a few sentences; for focused writing — like right now — I sit at our table. That’s just my preference. It’s quite possible to type and walk. (In fact, I used to do the opposite: I walked while typing but not during meetings because the old treadmill was too loud.)”

Perché le zanzare ci amano (e ci pungono) in maniera disomogenea. Maledette loro.

Money quote: “It’s also possible that we think we’re more attractive to mosquitoes when really, we just have a strong reaction to their bites, Potter points out. Indeed, as-yet unpublished findings by De Obaldia and colleagues found that some people’s self reports of being more attractive to mosquitoes didn’t hold up in odor tests in the lab, possibly because they mistook their bite reaction for attractiveness. “

Il soft power cinese si sta mangiando tutto il Pacifico. Così come aveva già mangiato mezza Africa. Il coronavirus sta solo accelerando questo processo. Una analisi puntuale vista dalla prospettiva dell’Australia.

Money quote: “Over the past 15 years China has dramatically scaled up its footprint in the Pacific. Chinese cranes and state-owned engineering companies are at work in every major city. Chinese trade stores are in every major town. China is now the third largest aid donor in the region, eclipsing Japan and the U.S. but still far behind Australia and New Zealand, and it is fast becoming the region's most important trading partner. Taiwan is also a player, in an effort to retain a diplomatic foothold in the Pacific which Beijing has managed to almost completely nullify”
