President Biden has defended his decision to send widely banned cluster munitions to Ukraine, after he was condemned by human rights groups and a fellow Democrat said it was “unnecessary and a terrible mistake”. Cluster munitions are prohibited by more than 100 countries.

That to be drawdown of the weapons from Defense Department stocks. 

Moral..

 

Banned..

 

 

Britain is a signatory to an international convention banning the use of the cluster munition weapons, which have been blamed for causing deaths to civilians even decades after conflicts have ended. 

The convention “prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions and discourages their use”, Sunak said on Saturday.

Killing people today, and killing their kids tomorrow.  

  
 Rishi Sunak, the UK Prime minister said Britain “discourages” the use of cluster bombs, a day after Joe Biden agreed to supply the controversial munitions to Ukraine. 

An indication that the transatlantic allies will not be acting together in this expansion of the war initiative.

 World War III seems like it's around the corner. Just a thought.

Loss..

 

Protein powder is a nutritional supplement that can help people achieve specific goals, such as muscle gain or weight loss. 

It also has potential benefits for those with unique dietary needs who may not get enough protein from solid, whole foods due to illness or progressive age-related muscle loss. 

However, most people can meet their dietary needs by following the principles of healthy eating and don't need protein supplements in powder form.

Another reason to use a protein powder supplement is to promote weight loss. Some research suggests that protein powders are a quick fix that can help control appetite.

 However, protein-rich snacks, like yogurt, may have a similar effect, according to other research.

Protein powders shouldn’t be used as a meal replacement but can complement a healthy whole-food diet. 

Masculinity..

 

 A team of human behavioralists at the University of Queensland, in Australia, working with a colleague from the University of Stirling, in the U.K., has found via experimentation that people tend to be more attracted to potential partners that look like them. 

An old adage suggests that "opposites attract," but it might be referring more to personality than looks.

Face similarity between couples played a role in how attractive they found each other—the more alike they looked, the more attractive they found the other person. 

Those of the same ethnicity more attractive than people of other ethnicities. 
And the researchers found that the volunteers tended to rate the other person as more understanding and more trustworthy the more they looked like them.

Women tended to rate men as more attractive based on how masculine they looked and women as less attractive the more masculine they looked.

Oops there it is. Just a thought.

War..

 

In an interview with CNN, Mr. Biden said that he did not “think there is unanimity in NATO about whether or not to bring Ukraine into the NATO family now,” and that the process could take place only after a peace agreement with Russia was in place.

“If the war is going on, then we’re all in war,” Mr. Biden said,  “We’re at war with Russia, if that were the case.” 

He added that there would be “other qualifications that need to be met, including democratization,” for Ukraine to be considered for membership.

The president began a trip to Europe on Sunday that will include attending a NATO summit in Lithuania, where Russia’s war in Ukraine — and a decision last week by the United States to supply Kyiv with weapons that are banned by most of its allies — will be a main focus.

 Mr. Prsident can't help himself... War War and more War.... No need for the US Congress, its the President himself saying it.

Solitaries..

 

Nearly 30 percent of American households comprise a single person, a record high. 

Scholars say living alone is not a trend so much as a transformation.

Homo sapiens is a social animal. Historians tapped ancient census rolls to show that our species has lived in groups for as long as such records have existed, stretching back at least to 1600.  

The U.S. Census shows that “solitaries” made up 8 percent of all households in 1940, doubled to 18 percent in 1970 and 29 percent, by 2022. 

The solo-living movement intersects with several other societal trends. Americans are marrying later, if at all. The nation is aging. The national birthrate is falling. People are living longer.  

More than anything, perhaps, the rise of single-person households is about women entering the workforce and achieving economic self-sufficiency.

Sarcopenia..

 

Protein powder is a nutritional supplement that can help people achieve specific goals, such as muscle gain or weight loss. It also has potential benefits for those with unique dietary needs who may not get enough protein from solid, whole foods due to illness or progressive age-related muscle loss. Howeer, most people can meet their dietary needs by following the principles of healthy eating and don't need protein supplements in powder form.

Sarcopenia: After age 30, adults can lose about 3% to 5% of their skeletal muscle mass with each passing decade.4 Age-related muscle loss is called sarcopenia.

Older adults who aren’t getting enough protein through their regular diet may benefit from a muscle-building combination of protein powder supplementation and full-body strength training workouts at least twice a week.
