...that says nothing about the larger issue inherent in Good. We dare not forget the Holocaust. Before and since, there have been genocidal events that are comparable to it in scale and savagery. But never have we witnessed a nation with a civilization as high as Germany's succumbing to such carefully calculated inhumanity. Nor has the mystery of that nation's behavior during the Nazi era remained so insolvable, so beyond the reach of art and scholarship, so beyond the reach, certainly, of earnest, inept works like Good, which remains, like most such works, on the anecdotal fringe...
...scale back the meat recipes in your new edition of How to Cook Everything? I sat there thinking, do we really need 200 chicken recipes? Maybe 125 to 150 is enough. A really key moment was also a report I read that said 18% of climate changing gases are directly or indirectly caused by industrial livestock production. If you take it seriously, it's mind boggling. Do you want to torture animals? Do you want to spew filth into the environment and into the air? Do you want to eat in a way that's really unhealthy...
...world apart from the extravagant kingpins with their million-dollar mansions and fleets of luxury cars, but it was still five times the country's minimum wage. And it's the swelling of the narco armies with tens of thousands of low-paid recruits that helps explain the scale of the bloodshed here, with more than 5,300 drug-related killings over the past year alone...
...experiment, researchers presented two cell phones, and told subjects that one had a more vivid screen. Some subjects were also told that model A had a vividness value of 1,800, compared to model B's score of 600. Everyone was then asked to rate on a 7-point scale both how much they liked phone A and how likely they were to buy it. The people who were given the numerical spec rated their chances of buying phone A much higher (an average 5.6 compared with 4.1 for the control group), even though the two groups rated how much...
...years away. With oil prices falling by nearly 75% over the past five months, sustainable energy is becoming less competitive economically and projects are being delayed or shelved worldwide. Besides, Kuzumaki's energy infrastructure would be difficult if not impossible to duplicate elsewhere, especially on a large scale. Investment in the town's projects - paid for by local tax revenues, private investors and the prefectural and central governments - totals $50 million. That's about $6,000 per resident, an amount that would pay the electricity bill for an average Tokyo family of four for more than seven years...
