Paul Krugman: China Tries to Teach Trump Economics (NY Times Column)
If you want to understand the developing trade war with China, the first thing you need to realize is that nothing Donald Trump is doing makes sense. […] The second thing you need to realize is that China's response so far has been fairly modest and measured, at least considering the situation. […] Why haven't the Chinese gone all out? It looks to me as if they're still trying to teach Trump some economics. What they've been saying through their actions, in effect, is: "You think you can bully us. But you can't. We, on the other hand, can ruin your farmers and crash your stock market. Do you want to reconsider?" There is, however, no indication that this message is getting through.
Mary Beard: Learning to do things differently (TLS)
I am a rather feeble environmentalist. That is to say, like a lot of people, I have good intentions but not always follow-through (and plenty of ready made excuses… like the 'fact' I think that quite a lot of what we dutifully sort into the green and blue bins at home doesn't get anywhere near re-cycling). But I notice gradually my habits changing, and wondering what has pushed me there.
Mary Beard: The law of unintended consequences (TLS)
I am not sure how far doctors who get caught by the taxman for having a 'too large' pension pot are going to be the beneficiaries of mass public sympathy. But if one consequence of Osborne's new pension regime is that it disincentivizes doctors from taking on extra shifts, it does seem to shoot us all in the foot.
Remembering David Berman's Wild Kindness (Rolling Stone)
To Rob Sheffield, Berman wasn't just a brilliant songwriter. He was also a friend who designed funny T-shirts, loved Dolly Parton, wrote touching notes, and punctuated darkness with moments of excruciating beauty.
Alexandra Petri: In alarming teleprompter slip-up, Trump condemns white supremacy instead of tacitly endorsing it (Washington Post)
The White House appeared to suffer a teleprompter mix-up on Monday when President Trump, addressing the nation after a pair of deadly shootings over the course of two days claimed more than 30 lives, briefly appeared to condemn white supremacy. "In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy," Trump said. "These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul." This is very far from his usual tone.
Brown is a composite color. In the CMYK color model used in printing or painting, brown is made by combining red, black, and yellow, or red, yellow, and blue. In the RGB color model used to project colors onto television screens and computer monitors, brown is made by combining red and green, in specific proportions. In painting, brown is generally made by adding black to orange. Mixing red-green-blue pigments makes mud color. The brown color is seen widely in nature, in wood, soil, human hair color, eye color and skin pigmentation. Brown is the color of dark wood or rich soil. According to public opinion surveys in Europe and the United States, brown is the least favorite color of the public; the color is most often associated with plainness, the rustic and poverty.
Brown is the second most common color of human hair, after black. It is caused by higher levels of the natural dark pigment eumelanin, and lower levels of the pale pigment pheomelanin. Brown eumelanin is more common among Europeans, while black eumelanin is more often found in the hair on non-Europeans.

Brown? Yep. Since Africans, Chinese, and most South Americans, and many Europeans have black hair, I figured brown must be second. Blonde hair and red hair are much more rare, globally speaking.
My hair used to be dark chestnut brown, but now its gray and turning white. According to my mother, I was blond as a tot, but my hair gradually went to light brown, then suddenly darkened a lot when I was 13. My wife's hair is still blonde, but only with the help of hair coloring.

• In the summer of 1987, opera tenor José Carreras discovered that he had leukemia. He underwent chemotherapy in Barcelona, Spain, where he sang arias as a way of timing how much longer the chemo sessions would last. The chemo was not completely effective, so he went to Seattle, Washington, where he had a bone marrow transplant. Lots of fans wrote him while he was in the hospital - he even received a letter addressed simply to "Tenor, Seattle." His rival tenors, Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti, came through for him. Mr. Pavarotti sent him this telegram: "José, get well. Otherwise, I won't have any competition." Mr. Domingo frequently telephoned him and also flew to Seattle to visit him.
• Opera singer Pasquale Brignoli was traveling on a train in Pennsylvania when he decided to smoke a cigarette while standing on the outside platform of the rear car. Unfortunately, while he was lighting his cigarette, the train jolted and Brignoli tumbled over onto the railroad tracks. Cries immediately rang out: "Stop the train! Brignoli's been killed!" Suddenly, everyone heard Brignoli singing loud, full, and clear. He then prayed, "I thank thee, Lord! My body has suffered grievously; but the voice - ah, the voice! - has not been injured."
Insults
• French opera singer Sophie Arnould's insults could be stunning. Mlle. Guimard used to dance at the Paris Opera in the 18th century. Her dancing consisted mostly of graceful arm movements - she used her feet very little when she danced. When Ms. Arnould heard that during a rehearsal a piece of scenery had fallen and broken Mlle. Guimard's arm, she commented, "It's a pity that it wasn't her leg; then it wouldn't have interfered with her dancing." And when a friend mentioned a diamond necklace that an actress had been given by her lover, saying that the necklace was so long that it almost reached the actress' waist, Ms. Arnould commented, "C'est qu'elle retourne vers sa source." (In English: "It is returning to its source.")
• Fritz Reiner was the conductor for an orchestra on a long American tour for which the program consisted of either Claude Debussy's La Mer or Richard Strauss' Don Juan. At one concert, a musician got mixed up and started playing Don Juan as the rest of the orchestra began to play La Mer. After the concert was over, Mr. Reiner told the musician that he was fired. The musician pleaded with him, saying that he had made a mistake that anyone could make in the midst of a long exhausting tour. Mr. Reiner replied, "Oh, it's not that - it's the way you play Don Juan."
• Gioacchino Rossini was not fond of the sound of the high notes sung by the tenors of his day, and when Enrico Tamberlik wanted to visit him in Paris, Mr. Rossini requested that he leave his C-sharp in the vestibule until his visit was over.
• Sir Thomas Beecham seemed by some to want to monopolize opera in Great Britain - something not appreciated by other British conductors. Sir Hamilton Harty once said, "British opera is dying slowly but surely - of TB."
• Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka's opera Russlan and Ludmilla was a failure. In fact, it inspired the grand duke Mikhail Pavlovich to come up with a unique method of punishment - he forced offending officers to sit through the opera.
• Not all tenors look impressive. When the diminutive 19th-century tenor Gilbert-Louis Duprez appeared in the dress rehearsal for his first William Tell in Paris, a ballet girl saw him and shouted, "What! That toad! Impossible!"
• In the 20thcentury, sopranos Maria Callas and Renata Tebaldi feuded. Ms. Callas, however, denied that they were rivals: "How could we be rivals? I am champagne, and she is Coca-Cola."
Kisses
• When Renata Tebaldi received her first kiss, she was disappointed. Her biographer, Victor Seroff, asked if the disappointment stemmed from the youth and inexperience of the man kissing her. She replied, "Too young and inexperienced at twenty-five? Not in Italy." (Fortunately, the second time he kissed her, she liked it.)
• Conductor Arturo Toscanini was unhappy at a performance of Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff - in one scene, the singers were not kissing in time to the music. Therefore, he demonstrated the correct way to kiss the soprano with a rapid series of kisses. "Like this!" he shouted. Eventually, the two singers kissed correctly.

Advertisers are deserting Fox News' primetime host Tucker Carlson, who called white supremacy "a hoax" in the wake of a mass shooting thought to be racially motivated.
"The whole thing is a lie," Mr Carlson said live on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Tuesday. "It's actually not a real problem in America … This is a hoax, just like the Russia hoax. It's a conspiracy theory used to divide the country."
Hours later, the hashtag #FireTuckerCarlson began trending on Twitter, with thousands of people calling for consumers to boycott the show's advertisers.
A Nestlé spokesperson confirmed to The Independent on Friday that the company, which placed adverts on the programme within the last three months, has no plans to do so again in the future.
America's largest fast seafood chain Long John Silver confirmed to watchdog Media Matters that they would no longer be advertising on Fox News, after reportedly running adverts nearly every day in 2018.
Carrying boxes of fruit, Richard Gere visited rescued migrants Friday on a humanitarian ship that has been struck in the Mediterranean Sea for over a week, landing smack in the middle of a debate over immigration that European nations have not been able to resolve.
The American film star took food and supplies by boat to 121 people aboard the Open Arms, a rescue ship floating in international waters near the Italian island of Lampedusa after being blocked from entering ports in Italy and Malta. Those nations want fellow European Union countries to take in more of the migrants who come across the sea.
T
he actor, 69, spoke to several migrants who had fled war-torn Libya on unseaworthy smuggling boats before being rescued, among them a man and his baby. A father of two, Gere shared photos of his youngest son, who was born in February.
Gere has a long history of human rights activism and often campaigns for environmental issues and AIDS research. He has been banned from China for advocating for human rights in Tibet.
He happened to be in Italy this week and after seeing news about the boat's plight, contacted the Spanish charity Open Arms and asked "How can I help?" a spokeswoman for the group told The Associated Press.
The one and only Ron Burgundy, aka Will Ferrell, stopped by every single late-night show Thursday night as a surprise guest to promote the second season of his iHeartRadio podcast, The Ron Burgundy Podcast. Although, the legendary anchorman wasn't just doing typical interviews promoting the show, he performed hilariously bad comedy routines on each show.
On Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Ferrell basically just stuck to his standup set. While on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Ferrell was invited over to the couch to chat with his old SNL buddy.
On Late Night With Seth Meyers, Ferrell got into a fight with his hipster ventriloquist dummy. While on Conan, he busted out some prop comedy that would make Carrot Top proud. Following his standup bit on The Late Late Show With James Corden, Ferrell even sat down with Corden. An animal expert from the San Diego Zoo came out with an alligator, a cougar and a skunk, the latter of which, had the comedian on the run. "It's the only animal that keeps me up at night," Ferrell said of the adorable skunk.
Ferrell spent the most amount of time on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, where he tried out some political humor. "Trade wars, right? Every day all we hear is trade war. Trade war with China, trade war with Mexico. We even had a trade war with Canada, what was that about?" Ferrell commented as the crowd began to boo. "Yeah, boo! I'm with you. I hate Canadians."
Overall, it was a great night of comedy, but since being an anchorman is in Burgundy's blood, Colbert wanted to know what he thought was the biggest news story of 2019. Ferrell said, "The biggest story of 2019, and I will go on the record as saying, is I think the Bueller Report, the Ferris Bueller report."
Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" television series is moving full steam ahead with director J.A. Bayona and showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay. As revealed by a teaser video announcing the series' crew, one key behind-the-scenes supervisor will be J.R.R. Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey. In a recent interview after being confirmed for the series (via /Film), Shippey revealed "there's supposed to be 20 episodes for the first season." The number would make "The Lord of the Rings" the size of a broadcast drama, which often runs 22 episodes in a season. Shippey also explained some of the restrictions facing the new series.
Amazon confirmed in March that its "Lord of the Rings" series would take place during the Second Age of Middle Earth. The Second Age spans 3441 years and ends with the first downfall of Sauron. Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning film trilogy large took place in Middle Earth's Third Age, with the prologue to "The Fellowship of the Ring" set at the end of the Second Age explaining Sauron's defeat. The Second Age setting means Amazon's series will take place in the years where Sauron rises to power and shuts down rumors that characters like young Aragorn will be involved.
As for what Amazon's "Lord of the Rings" series can do in the Second Age, a lot of that depends on the Tolkien Estate. Shippey explained, "The Tolkien Estate will insist that the main shape of the Second Age is not altered. Sauron invades Eriador, is forced back by a Númenorean expedition, and returns to Númenor. There he corrupts the Númenoreans and seduces them to break the ban of the Valar. All this, the course of history, must remain the same."
From the way Shippey talks about the series, it would appear the lost island of Númenor will be a primary setting of the show. Amazon teased as much when it debuted a map for the series that revealed Númenor was still in existence. The show will not be able to alter history as Tolkien wrote it, but it will have the freedom to populate history with new characters.
"You can add new characters and ask a lot of questions, like: What has Sauron done in the meantime? Where was he after Morgoth was defeated?" Shippey said. "Theoretically, Amazon can answer these questions by inventing the answers, since Tolkien did not describe it. But it must not contradict anything which Tolkien did say. That's what Amazon has to watch out for. It must be canonical, it is impossible to change the boundaries which Tolkien has created, it is necessary to remain 'Tolkienian.""
A judge on Thursday ordered the publisher of a neo-Nazi website to pay a Jewish real estate agent $14 million for inciting his readers to harass her family with hundreds of threatening and anti-Semitic messages and calls.
U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen entered Tanya Gersh a default judgment in her civil lawsuit after The Daily Stormer founder Andrew Anglin refused to appear for a scheduled deposition in the case.
He ordered Anglin to pay Gersh over $4 million in compensatory damages, $10 million in punitive damages and told him to permanently remove all posts, comments and images about Gersh, her husband and son.
Anglin accused Gersh of trying to run the mother of white nationalist Richard Spencer out of the mountain resort town of Whitefish in 2016. He published the personal information of the Gersh family on his website and wrote to his readers, "Are y'all ready for an old fashioned troll storm?"
Christensen's order adopts the findings of a magistrate judge who called Anglin's conduct against Gersh "egregious and reprehensible."
Turkish Airlines Flight 1 had just 45 minutes left in its eight-hour-plus journey from Istanbul to New York on March 10, when the Boeing 777 suddenly shook violently and plunged, injuring passengers and members of the flight crew.
The plane made an emergency landing at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where 28 passengers and two crew members were treated for injuries, according to news reports.
That flight was cruising over Maine when it encountered severe turbulence, known as clear-air turbulence because it occurs in clear skies without an obvious visual cue for the pilots.
Such incidents may become more common in the skies above the North Atlantic due to changes in wind shear as a result of human-caused climate change, according to a new study published Wednesday.
The new study, published in the journal Nature, is the first to detect a statistically significant increase in vertical wind shear at jet-stream altitudes across the North Atlantic. Changes here can have a significant influence on aviation, since nearly 3,000 flights cross the pond on an average day.
In a bizarre twist of events, a man from the Bronx, New York went to the hospital for a knee x-ray and got the surprise of his life when doctors told him his penis was turning into bone.
The man checked himself in hospital after falling over in the street and landing on his behind. He may not have hit his head, but the 63-year-old was worried about his knee after feeling some pain.
The doctors x-rayed the knees to check the damage caused after the fall, but they were surprised by the silhouette of his penis in the images. This indicated slight bone formation where the penis should be.
They promptly told the man about the formation of bone cells within his penis, to which his response was to get up and leave the hospital, ignoring the doctors. He did not even give them a chance to take down his information.
The diagnosis was ossification whereby a body part or organ starts to calcify and turn into bone. George El Hasbani, from the team of doctors who attended the identified man claimed the condition was very rare.
Glowing catsharks that lurk the briny depths have a fluorescence mechanism never seen before in another organism. And that glow could be conferring some serious perks - such as the ability to pick out other sharks among the many fluorescent things on the seafloor.
"Studying biofluorescence in the ocean is like a constantly evolving mystery novel, with new clues being provided as we move the research forward," said biologist David Gruber of City University of New York.
In other vertebrates, small-molecule metabolites like these are involved in the immune system and the central nervous system. They're also known to be fluorescent… but, as we mentioned earlier, so are human bones, so that fact alone doesn't mean much.
But in the sharks, these metabolites in their skin help produce fluorescence in low-light conditions on the seafloor. This is invisible to the naked human eye, which is why the fluorescence wasn't discovered until 2014; but the sharks' eyes can see it.
They channel that fluorescence through their scales, or denticles, which appear to be structured specifically for the task, so that they gleam with re-emitted green light.
