“Even though the water cycle is more active, at local scales more water is lost than before,” Staal said.

This has important implications for water management, because China’s water is already unevenly distributed. The north has about 20% of the country’s water but is home to 46% of the population and 60% of the arable land, according to the study. The Chinese government is trying to address this; however, the measures will likely fail if water redistribution due to regreening isn’t taken into account, Staal and his colleagues argued.

Yeah, being held for 12 hours sounds horrible. But their laws (and almost every country’s laws) didn’t allow entry without, you know, passports and all that. They broke the law to allow them in, that’s huge.

They did help. Read the article

I notice people’s gait, stability, and their DME

I made the mistake of researching an AIDS patient on my personal phone (I wasn’t familiar with IRIS syndrome and some of the meds, I wanted to make sure I knew what meds I was giving and why). Advertisers are CERTAIN that I have AIDS now and that follows me EVERYWHERE months after the fact. Super annoying to have AIDS ads everywhere, I can’t imagine how triggering it must be for someone who is actually dealing with the diagnosis.
