Harvard Study Links Neonicotinoid Pesticide To Colony Collapse Disorder

by samzenpus
walterbyrd (182728) writes in with news about a new study from Harvard School of Public Health that links two widely used neonicotinoids to Colony Collapse Disorder. "Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), or the widespread population loss of honeybees, may have been caused by the use of neonicotinoids, according to a new study out of Harvard University. Neonicotinoids are a class of pesticides, chemically similar to nicotine. They were first developed for agricultural use in the 1980's by petroleum giant Shell. The pesticides were refined by Bayer the following decade. Two of these chemicals are now believed to be the cause of CCD, according to the new study from the School of Public Health at the university. This study replicated their own research performed in 2012."

Even Al Qaeda Won't Condone Nigerian Kidnappings

Boko Haram, the Nigerian group that has carried out mass kidnappings, was rejected long ago by mainstream Muslims, but its recent abductions appeared too much even for fellow militants to condone.

darksilenceinsuburbia:

Hello Beautiful

'Hello Beautiful,' is a photo series that's part of The six week Beauty Project that was launched by Selfridges at the start of May. With videos, workshops and interactive experiences, Selfridges is aiming to look at how beauty is defined and regarded today. This broad topic is being broken down into much more manageable sections, including beauty with regards to men, age, adornment, androgyny, natural beauty and global beauty. 

To sum up each of these topics, a diverse range of real people were chosen as the faces for this campaign. Images of these real-life models were captured by Norbert Shoerner, a German photographer and filmmaker, and these images will be used as part of promotions for The Beauty Project campaign, which will run until June 12th.

Richard Sherman and the value of preparation

by Jason Kottke
popular shared this story from kottke.org.

Richard Sherman is a football player for the Seatt...hey, HEY!, you nerds that were about to wander off because I'm talking about sportsball, come on back here. Like I was saying, Sherman plays cornerback for the Seattle Seahawks, who won the Super Bowl last year. The thing is, whatever it is you do, Richard Sherman is way better at his job than you are at yours. And he's able to explain how he does what he does, which, if you've ever been to a technology conference or read more than a thing or two linked from Hacker News, you know is even more rare.

Sherman is, by his own admission, not particularly athletically gifted in comparison to some others in the NFL, but he's one of the top 5 cornerbacks in the game because he studies and prepares like a mofo. In this video, he explains how he approaches preparing for games and shares some of the techniques he uses to gain an advantage over opposing quarterbacks and receivers.

Sherman is obviously really intelligent, but his experience demonstrates once again the value of preparation, hard work, and the diligent application of deliberate practice.

Type I and II errors

"Type I" and "Type II" errors, names first given by Jerzy Neyman and Egon Pearson to describe rejecting a null hypothesis when it's true and accepting one when it's not, are too vague for stat newcomers (and in general). This is better. [via]

Charles Barkley won't apologize for his comments about San Antonio's women

by James Dator

'He complimented the Spurs' basketball team, then went right back to calling the female population of the city "big old women" and telling viewers he'll apologize "when hell gonna freeze over." '

Rather than apologizing for being insensitive, Chuck doubled down.

Robert McClain drew a pretty amazing portait of Katy Perry

Fuck the Falcons

One NFL cornerback is seriously good at drawing pop icons.

— Robert McClain (@bobbymac36) May 12, 2014

Robert McClain is a cornerback for the Atlanta Falcons, but it also turns out he's a pretty darn good artist. While some people are whittling away their Sunday night watching the NBA Playoffs or Mad Men, McClain is living his teenage dream.

It would be easy to make fun of McClain, except this really looks a whole lot like Katy Perry. It's an art-off in the world of professional sports in America. Now the score is NFL: 1, NBA: Lowry.

Arrow Showrunner To Take Over X-Men Comic, Following Brian Wood’s Final Issue

firehose

"Guggenheim confirmed that the X-Men will remain an all-female team during his run"

Arrow executive producer and writer Marc Guggenheim's most recent work has been in the DC universe, but he got his start at Marvel -- and he's headed back there soon. As announced by IGN, Guggenheim will be taking over the narrative reins in X-Men #18, picking up where current writer Brian Wood leaves off. Guggenheim confirmed that the X-Men will remain an all-female team during his run, and that he's planning a "smooth, easy transition" between his Wood's story and his own. No artist has been announced yet.
