from thirlwall inquiry 15/1/2025. The “unusual” spike in baby deaths on the neonatal unit where Lucy Letby worked had a less than 1% probability of occurring given its previous mortality rate, a public inquiry has been told.Sir David Spiegelhalter, the emeritus professor of statistics at the University of Cambridge, said the sudden rise in deaths in 2015 was “surprising” and enough to warrant an internal investigation. However, he added that from a national perspective the increase was “not very surprising at all” and was “not extreme enough to be considered an outlier”. -------------------------------- The professor is right. (If 100 experiments are done in throwing 7 coins, it would not be surprising if in one of the experiments we get 7 heads in a a row or 7 tails in a row. This would in fact be more likely than not). But in the case of C of C hospital, the cause is known. Hasn't anyone at Thirlwall told him? A number of babies (the number has not been revealed) were moved to C of C hospital in part of 2015 and 2016, from other hospitals' NICUs which could not cope. Cof C did not itself have an NICU as far as I know. Wouldn't this account by itself for an increase in deaths? The death rate for babies in an NICU is, (It's only my guess) 50 times higher than for babies not in NICU.

The Hare with the Amber Eyes is one of my very favorite books ever. I always recommend it to people. I wish book clubs would read it again. I also am a potter and maybe thats why I so enjoyed his grand story told in the 14 minutes of this lecture where M de Waal reveals the brilliant history of the netsuke and his family.

Everyone should watch this and follow Dr. van Tulleken's research

Awesome presentation thank you

Everyone should read John’s book, Fire Weather. It’s as fascinating and insightful as this interview.

John Vaillant, you are the man for our times. As LA burns, the significance of your findings is hitting home. Thankyou for your work and your note of hope. "Pessimism is is for lightweights." Nothing has made as much sense as your thoughtful and well-researched book.

Thank you, Tim Dowling. Brilliant!

but this guy looks absolutely on drugs

Desirable to have an opinion? Are you nuts, there is a complete oppression and attack on any other opinions than those considered normal and common sense. It’s not different since the religious oppression of opinions, just different.

Wow.

I think about this book nearly every day since I finished it in early 2024. He wrote the hell out of that book. Trouble is that I can't get anyone else to read it and I am the unofficial book recommender for a large circle of friends and family. I read The Tiger in December and, again, he wrote the hell out of that book. I am reading his oeuvre backwards because The Golden Spruce is on deck. He knows how to tell a story. He knows what the story is about and the reader never forgets it but he is able to include so much important, pertinent, and compressed information that is relevant and far-reaching. He is a rare and extraordinary storyteller with an urgent message about what it means to be alive--and what is being asked of us--at this time in history.

Thank you, George; thank you, everyone.

This one is more about animal senses than the microbiome

Please could you tell me if there is a version of the book "The Anxious Generation" which contains UK statistics rather than US? Thank you

Great book honestly needs more attention

Catherine's life sounds fascinating - I've ordered her book and I hope I can have a conversation with her on my channel soon :)

How I wish this was taught in highschools!

The book is hilarious! And so is he.

Just received this book from my husband for Christmas as I asked for it when it came out - can’t wait to get going on this.

There is a 1988 film called the Deceivers featuring the Thugs.

You know what's ridiculous? Your libretto; that's what's ridiculous!

his words live on even up to this day

Another BBC tory. But it's OK. HEs got a SING song voice😢

A great video

Thanks, currently reading Big Bluff.

A lot of appreciation to Alexander masters. Most ppl look at homeless ppl like they’re scum.

I think you've nailed the issue at all four corners, Brother Stevenson. I have the same disappointment in endeavoring to explain why The Economy is getting steadily worse for most people: loss of savings and diminishing net ownership of assets, all while the few hoover up everything of value and hold it over the rest of our heads for ransom. A number of the people I used to be around every Sunday remind me of that "pleasant woman" you described in your talk at Robinson College a while back. "I'm comfortable", she was implying. "I'm not gonna do nothing". And I wonder what would get through. Even in a good and Midwest-nice church community overlooking the Mississippi River. I used to be Treasurer at that church. It's aging out and declining. I had already advised that "church' costs $4,000 every week, just to keep the utilities paid, the weather out of the building, and the grounds maintained. At the summer '23 Vestry (the lay governing body of the church) Retreat, I gave the usual Treasurer's report, advised that 'church' costs $4,000 a week just to keep the utilities paid, the weather out of the building and the grounds maintained, to general shock and surprise. I reminded them that fully half of the revenue to 'balance' the $600,000 budget came from earnings on the endowment funds. Then I added a couple of relevant war stories and a rejoinder that surprised even me. The punch line to the second story, which stems from an Army officer in the middle of a night in June, gathering up stray paratroopers from fields and hedgerows in Normandy, was this: "...you're scared, soldier, because you still have hope that you'll get out of this intact. But the only hope you have, Blythe, is to accept that we were all dead men the minute we stepped in to those planes. Once you accept that, then you can do your job." Then I said to my fellow congregants, "You have $7 Million in endowment funds that provide the income to keep this church afloat. If you really want to do the work we've been given to do, next year give $1 Million to one of the local agencies that are providing safe, decent housing to the growing number of poorly and completely un-housed people right here in your community. And if they do a good job with that money, give them another million the following year. The year after that, give a million to the other agency that's tackling the same problem; etc, etc, until it's all gone. Just maybe, other folks would say, 'Gosh, they really believe that gospel stuff' and take an interest. Or not, but at the end, we could all hug each other and say, 'Well done', knowing we had done the job we'd been given to do." That we could "do our job". "I'm comfortable. I ain't gonna do nothing." The folks present at that Vestry retreat politely moved on to the next agenda item, slightly stunned. After further surfacing of "I'm comfortable" sorts of entitlement that year, I packed tent and gear and left on a month's long motorcycle pilgrimage on a very vintage Triumph. And I've not been back. I'll take my paltry pledge and 'scatter the paten' at the couple of agencies that just simply feed the struggling among us. Your message, Gary, is sublime in its directness and simplicity, and in the truth that this utopian notion of an Economy that operates on a Natural Law, like gravity and rainbows refracted from raindrops, and must be obeyed, is not truth at all. That notion takes all our responsibility for each other and hands it off to just that - a notion of "not my problem - it's The Economy. I've got a holiday in the Isles planned, and (probably) a kitchen refurb." I don't know what it will take to remove The Excuse for doing nothing. But I continue to hand out your book and repeat your observations, along with those further measures of income disparity that I keep finding. I really appreciate your message, your insight, and your method of delivery. I think you're doing the work. Thanks. Tim Long, Just up the hill from Lock 15. Excuse: The skin of a reason, stuffed with a lie.

ideas and dreams are less than is necessary, where is the working model? All socialist dreams seem to point to a slime mould even amoeba surrounds its victim before devouring. to me rawlsianism seems more clear. that society should be organised such that you would be willing to take the place of the worst off. Even then you face the question of population increase that impoverishes all equally. bring me your poor, hungry and huddled masses that will swamp the ship.

Given this book by my head chef, an excellent book

Excellent analysis on the state of the world wide economy, current politics and the ideology that's corrupting our global world. A voice of clarity beyond populist politics and empty political platitudes.

God i wish this wasn't rushed

Well as long as mental illness and homelessness isn't distinguished people aren't going to fix either problem. "We cant give them homes because they are mentally ill it wouldn't work"..... So rebuild the institutions for the mentally ill you shuttered in the 70s and give resource assistance to those who are able.

Love this video. Wish she would have gone a bit into the dynamics where you need a mix of ingressive and congressive but I love the video overall.

How can Niall Ferguson understand Tocqueville and still advocate for maximum freedom and maximum equality without responsibility, service, and duty? The only thing worse than an elite that is corrupt is one that is corrupt and incompetent. Democracy destroys men of action who are trying to better something. Niall tried to take initiative to fix his neighborhood and he felt resistance from his neighbors, townspeople, and the council. Freedom maximized is anarchy. Equality maximized is Marxism. America's ideals have an unfortunate dialectic when not restrained.

Just finished the Thread of Violence beautifully written and captivating. I lived at that time with my family on Merrion square and the whole area is special to me. The book left me with many, many thoughts on the crime and the person. thank you Mark.

May your Mother’s memory continue to live on 🙏🏾🥰🌸

Justice is mine says the Lord. Their hell awaits.

It is similar to the Robber Barons Jay Gould for one. He had a lot of cleaning up to do as well and installed a magnificent stained glass window upstate. I saw it but how do not recall the name of the town.

I once inadvertently volunteered at a Lithium dispensing place. It took a while to figure it out when I did I decamped A.S.A.P.

Many who are not following this are on their meds and not up to listening to any rational discourse.

Such an amazing woman.

I love how she uses language! I enjoy her book “A Stitch in Time.” Her writing in that book, let it feel like she is painting with words!😊

i got those last 3 digits

Not many views for someone and something fundamental to how the system really works. I suspect most people don't really comprehend how they are subject to it or if the way it works even exists 🤔

Turns out his own family were involved in the inter-African slave trade long before a white man set foot on the African continent, this man is a fool, a grifter, a charlatan, all his books should be removed for the educational system, he has targeted that market as the target readers don't know any better, in respected circles of historians he thought of a bit a joke who does talks to dullards who hang on his every racist hate-filled words, The people with green and purple hair who spend Saturdays protesting for BLM on the high street when they are not protesting for the LGTBQ community (who disown them)

I wish more people were aware of this issue when I have spoken of it to friends near where I live in West Wales most think I am joking. Yet we have the scraggy remains of some close by.

This guy is something of a travelling preacher at this point. When is the revival happening?

all of you are so gullible 😂 check out financial times article on Gary - - he's a liar with delusions of grandeur.
