The article ignored the emergence of lactase persistence in West Africa and Saudi Arabia (where two other hotspots on the map are) but there is more on that in this study:

I can't decide if this sounds a bit defeatist or is just pragmatic - isn't the goal lofty enough to require the ambition to boil the ocean?
Maybe the Terminator comparisons were all too prescient...
...that kind of ruins the haunting photos - I thought they'd just died from looking at the lake!
- At current rates the Feed-in Tariff pays you 14.9p for every kWh you produce, whether you use it or not. The Feed-in Tariff is TAX FREE and RPI Linked.
- Export your excess electricity to the grid and earn an additional 4.6p/kWh.
I would have thought clinical trials would require a higher success rate... is it only because it's the last resort and patients would otherwise die anyways?
A person might have faith in God when it comes to giving weekly donations to the poor but lack faith in God when it comes to allowing himself to be martyred.
He takes existing satellite, radar and geological maps of the area and layers them on top of each other to create one all-encompassing study of what lies beneath the soil.
Thanks for doing what you do!
maybe game haiku?
Is user interest enough for the OP, or are you looking for other contributors?
I don't think face-to-face instruction should focus on practise and exploration any more than it should on learning basic facts. Practise is controlled repetition, and this is probably the easiest thing for a learner to undertake on their own. Exploration is likewise a very personal endeavour - it's always come down to exploring how the concepts are relevant to me, or a specific context I am interested in.
Face-to-face time ('instruction' is not really the right word for it) should focus on collaboration more than anything.
A number of educators do take issue with Khan, but no one else seems to have put the effort in to supplant him rather than simply criticise.
Doesn't Taleb mean that the 'skin in the game' heuristic will prevent uncertainty, randomness and volatility in the system rather than bring benefit? Within examples such as the 07-08 financial crisis, which he must be referring to indirectly, 'skin in the game' would have meant less risk-taking, therefore reducing volatility. But I can't see how the system would have actually benefited from volatility.
'aggressive networking' is right, don't some of these tactics get you blocked or reported?
Since independence, and particularly recently, Russians (who once made up over half of Latvia's population) have left, and in many cases not been welcome to stay. One of the major tensions in Latvian politics today is the status of Russian Latvians.
With that backdrop (and given the other factors, such as migration to the rest of the EU) it isn't really that surprising that population levels are returning to that of the 60's.
"Sloterdijk’s ideal is not Pauline conversion but Trinitarian 'perichoresis,'"
Unfortunately, I don't think Sloterdijk has understood the theological context of perichoresis which he goes on to define:
"'Perichoresis means that the milieu of the persons is entirely the relationship itself,' he writes, envisioning love as a total mutual absorption."
Perichoresis is literally "mutual interpenetration" and refers to the greek choros and their dances around (peri) each other in interlocking rings in the theatre. In the theological appropriation of this imagery, this has more to do with the depth and interdependence of the relationship than with the "milieu" - though it's not clear what he means by that.
Doesn't this mean that their selection sample effectively excluded any babies that had a noticeable physical reaction (other than having cocaine in their system) to the effect of their mothers' cocaine use?
