The reminder app survived the move from iOS 12 to 13 but not the upgrade from Sierra to Catalina ( if your syncing like me via CalDAV to your own cloud ).
Unfortunately also Busycal is stuck, the only app that is still working on Catalina seems to Fantastical2…
“Wenn der Wind weht” mit diesem Film (und seiner Titelmelodie von David Bowie) sind wir Mitte der 80er Jahre sozialisiert worden. Der drohenden Atomkrieg, das wardie reale und unmittelbare Gefahr dass eine der Pershing II in die Luft geflogen wäre.
Roland Emmerichs Katastrophenfilm The Day after Tomorrow 2004 konnte das nur schwer toppen. Experten sind aber der Meinung, dass die Spiefilme einen falschen Eindruck der Kimakrise vermittelt haben: zu sehr Katastrophen-orientiert, bekommt man allenfalls das Gefühl der Ohnmacht. Auch kommt neben der erfundenen Darstellung einer allumfassenden Katastrophe in dem Spielfilm die reale Erderwärmung vergleichsweise harmlos daher.
Oder doch nicht, wenn man sich “chasing ice” auf Youtube ansieht?
Urs Bruderer hat diese Frage in einem wunderbaren Essay über “Die große Überforderung” thematisiert
Ich habe die Klimakatastrophe viele Jahre kaum beachtet. Und hielt das für die klügste Entscheidung.
Seit Menschen denken können, warnen sie vor ihrem Ende.
…
Ob der Atomkrieg, das Waldsterben oder das Auslaufen des Maya-Kalenders im Dezember 2012, ob im Cern produzierte schwarze Löcher, Milleniumsbug oder Vogelgrippe – im Rückblick bewies jedes Weltuntergangsszenario nur, dass wir eine Lust an der Angst vor dem Ende haben.
…
Der Weltklimarat hat inzwischen unzählige Berichte und Sonderberichte veröentlicht. Die Warnungen wurden immer genauer und bedrohlicher. Und ich wurde immer besser darin, sie zu überhören.
Einen Artikel, den man vollständig gelesen haben muss.
Last week I had the opportunity to attend a lecture by Johann Rockström explaining his most recent Nature commentary about tipping points “too risky to bet against”.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) introduced the idea of tipping points two decades ago. At that time, these ‘large-scale discontinuities’ in the climate system were considered likely only if global warming exceeded 5 °C above pre-industrial levels. Information summarized in the two most recent IPCC Special Reports (published in 2018 and in September this year) suggests that tipping points could be exceeded even between 1 and 2 °C of warming.
This is a cruel message in particular as probably already one tipping point has been passed @ the Amundsen Sea embayment of West Antarctica. There is a thick ice sheet of about 3 km which forms one of the three major ice-drainage basins of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. And the ice is melting rapidly – with the tipping point having been passed in 1996.
The Amazon is burning right now — the world’s largest rainforest. Estimates of the Amazon tipping point ranges between 20% and 40% deforestation.
I remember an old vitamin D book – I believe it was Feldman’s Vitamin D – that argues that if we are going down the Transsahara Route (Algier-Lagos) human skin color gets always darker towards Tamanrasset due to increased solar power- also known known as the Loomis hypothesis (Science 1967).
So , let’s have a look at three maps. Solar power first.
Second, skin tones – the Tamanrasset observation is correct but the overall picture does not match the Loomis hypothesis.
Neither does the new vitamin D map published last week in the Lancet.
No need to calculate any formal correlation coefficient. – maps are patchy but let me conclude that either the vitamin D data or the Loomis hypothesis is wrong.
Womöglich gedeihen Innovationen manchmal ganz im Gegenteil besonders gut, wenn ein Tier genug hat: ausreichend Zeit und Energie, um etwa mit dem Schloss einer Futterkiste herumzuspielen. Neues ausprobieren kann vor allem, wer sich nicht rund um die Uhr mit Futtersuche, Wacheschieben und Revierverteidigung aufreiben muss, sondern derartige Verpflichtungen auch mal an Artgenossen delegieren kann.
Vermutlich ist es bei den Menschen auch nicht viel anders. Wenn man sich nicht rund um die Uhr mit Futtersuche, Wacheschieben und Revierverteidigung aufreiben muss.
Here is the math: 1 µg/L D3 => 40 IU/L D3 => 2,5 nmol/L D3
The detection limit in breast milk is 0,2 nmol/L = 0,08/µg/L = 3,2 IU/L according to vid Streym who measured a median of 0.34 nmol/L 25-OH-D3 in hind milk which is approx 5,4 IU/L.
Li-Chieh Wang gives no detection limit but measures approx 5 ng/mL = 5.000 ng/L = 5 µg/L = 12,5 nmol/L D3 in breast milk equivalent to 200 IU/L, the 40fold amount to vid Streym.
What is correct?
Right now there is a lot of information out there how to export a reveal presentation as PDF but much less not how to include a PDF document. The most natural way would be some embed
<section><object data="test.pdf" style="width:100%"><a href="test.pdf">PDF laden</a></object><section>
looks strange, not full frame, no handlers
<section data-background-iframe="test.pdf" data-background-interactive></section>
works but cannot jump to a certain page and cannot style the background.
So I am using now additionally the Chrome plugin that is based on pdf.js.
Using the new TdT R package, I have re done the speed plot
library(remotes)
install_github("alastairrushworth/tdf")
library(tdf)

ggplot(aes(x = start_date, y = distance / time_overall, color = edition)) +
geom_point(na.rm = TRUE,size=4) +
geom_label_repel(data = editions, aes(label = winner_name), size = 4, na.rm = TRUE, segment.alpha = 1, point.padding=1) +

ylab('average speed km/h') +

This is certainly the most comprehensive paper that examines the association of air pollution, climate change and allergen exposure: “Air Pollution and Climate Change Effects on Allergies in the Anthropocene: Abundance, Interaction, and Modification of Allergens and Adjuvants”
Air pollution and climate change are potential drivers for the increasing burden of allergic diseases. The molecular mechanisms by which air pollutants and climate parameters may influence allergic diseases, however, are complex and elusive.
There is no causal effect of allergens on human allergy, as allergens have been always abundant even without allergy. Nevertheless allergens are drivers aggravating symptoms in allergy-prone patients by basically four factors
- Stability effects; influencing the accumulation and degradation of allergenic proteins, the duration of exposure times to cellular receptors, and the process of antigen presentation via major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II
- Epitope effects, i.e., generation of new epitopes or modification of existing epitopes, changing the binding properties of antibodies and receptors, by direct chemical modification or as a result of conformational changes
- Adjuvant effects, i.e., generation of new adjuvant functions or modification of existing adjuvant functions such as lipid-binding capacities due to modified ligand binding sites
- Agglomeration effects, i.e., multiplication or shielding of epitopes or adjuvant functions by cross-linking (oligomerization) of allergenic proteins, which may enhance the cross-linking
I would add 5. that the absolute number of pollens increased in some areas as a stress response of dying trees.
A new paper by a British-Kazakhstan-Armenian group nicely summarizes why we need good hypothesis papers.
As a deterring example they use the hygiene hypothesis
the hygiene hypothesis that was originally proposed by David Strachan in 1989. David Strachan studied the epidemiology of hay fever in a cohort of 17,414 British children and concluded that declining family size and improved personal hygiene had reduced the chances of cross infections in families, resulting in epidemics of atopic disease in post-industrial Britain. Over the past four decades, several related hypotheses have been proposed to expand the potential role of symbiotic microorganisms and parasites in the development of human physiological immune responses early in life and protection from allergic and autoimmune diseases later on.
I agree with the description although David never claimed to be the first author writing about the hygiene hypothesis. When I spoke to him the last time London he wasn’t even happy with this popularity.
The chain certainly started also much earlier than 1989 with “continuing activity of an immune system made redundant by man’s cleanliness” (Godfrey, 1975) continued with Gerrard 1976, Frick 1986, Busse, 1989 until David Barker argued in 1985 that there is a “decreased incidence of infection among children, especially in wealthier families, that changed their pattern of immunity”.
The harm inducted by the hygiene hypothesis is described as
The misunderstanding of the hygiene hypothesis that primarily aimed to shed light on the role of the microbiome in allergic and autoimmune diseases resulted in decline of public confidence in hygiene with dire societal implications, forcing some experts to abandon the original idea. Although that hypothesis is unrelated to the issue of vaccinations, the public misunderstanding has resulted in decline of vaccinations at a time of upsurge of old and new infections.
I fear the authors are right – some people may have been harmed by the hygiene hypothesis leading them back in the pre-Semmelweis era.
Anomie, der Zustand bisher fehlender oder schwacher Normen, ging in die Anomietheorie von Robert Merton ein als der Widerspruch zwischen Ziel zB Konsum und Realität etwa aufgrund fehlender Finanzen. Darauf kann individuell auf verschiedene Arten reagiert werden (gekürzt) nach Wikipedia)
In der Klimakrise kommen plötzlich hohe Normen auf uns zu – ich würde es Hypernomie nennen – von denen Reto Knutti sagt (1,2)
Wenn sich alle so verhalten wie Sie, werden wir die Klimaziele verfehlen», sagt Knutti. «Es geht mir nicht darum, zu moralisieren. Wir befinden uns alle in diesen Widersprüchen. Wenn ich in der Wissenschaft auf dieser Ebene arbeiten will, ist es unumgänglich, dass ich hin und wieder zu Kongressen fliege. Aber dennoch: Was bis 2050 gefordert ist, ist null CO2. Das heisst nicht: ein bisschen sparen. Null bedeutet null. Den Verbrennungsmotor gibt es dann nicht mehr. Fliegen gibt es nicht mehr, ausser es gelingt uns, synthetisches Kerosin als Alternative auf den Markt zu bringen oder CO2zu sequestrieren. Eine Ölheizung gibt es nicht mehr. Wir werden unser Leben umstellen müssen.
Ich vermute auch unter Hypernomie Bedingungen bleiben die Reaktionen gleich
The list is somewhat hidden but here is the link https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/wiki/Plugins,-Tools-and-Hardware

plus zenpen in an iframe.
The slide builders at the plugin page are quite useless except for slides.com which is, however, too expensive.
I therefore design everything in Keynote, export as jpg and loop over all jpgs to write the section tags.
The best option would certainly be if Apple would directly support reveal.js and not some fancy own HTML formats
slide/assets/7D643FA7-9A1F-45A5-A30F-7828735F3C35/7D643FA7-9A1F-45A5-A30F-7828735F3C35.json
Or is anyone willing to write a converter?
