"Roughly two hundred years ago in the fall of two thousand hundred baseball was rocked by the signs stealing scandal of the houston astros marked by high definition ballpark technology code signaling and of course the use of garbage cans to to signal players store doesn't in their legacy of the astros still permits baseball as the topic of cheating continued to stay in the news for more on this. We're joined by award winning journalist. Andy martino who's covered. Mlb for more than a decade is new book cheated which details the astros cheating scandal is available. Now wherever you get your books and e welcome thank you. Thank you for having me guys any. Take us back through the evolution of this scheme and how it was i made public so the houston astros Starting in about twenty seventeen Well let me rewind you just a little bit more. The houston astros began. Their administration under a gm is no longer with named jeff luna Started after the two thousand eleven season and Created a culture that was heavily praised in the first few years in some sense being very analytically forward. Innovative and all those things were in many senses. Still true but there was also a a culture of relentless pressure an innovation which led a some of those under loon outed device cheating schemes which manifested on the field and twenty seventeen initially with the use of things like whistling and clapping to convey stolen signs a to a batter and eventually evolved into the use of high speed cameras. a feed of the catcher's hands being pumped to a monitor right behind the dugout and players a hitting garbage cans and doing other things other audio cues to get those stein's the batteries for the better new pictures coming. That is the most known Baseball crime at the astros committed. That came out in dribs and drabs over the next year's through reporting and rumors and then was busted wide open in two thousand nineteen million years ago as you mentioned Which was when mike fires. The former astros pitcher went on the record the publication the athletic a basically detailing these schemes putting a a name to some of these rumors and reports that had surfaced over the years but the garbage cans warrant it over the next two years at the astros were credibly alleged to have used gopro cameras in visiting dugouts flat. But yeah right. It's crazy flashing lights in the scoreboard. The yankees believed in the playoffs are indicating pitches that continued whistling us doing other things that are a not high-tech but but not legal So there was a culture of winning at all costs. And let's just say not necessarily a whole lot of discussions of the ethics of how they got there. Yeah that's so crazy to me so you detailed like i'm mind blown so you detailed all the different methods in ways that the scheme worked but how in the world is something so sophisticated get hidden so well by the astros like this seems like a lot. This seems like a lot of people had to know about it. It seemed like it had a lot of moving parts that have a lot of people that were working together to make this happen. How did they hide it so well. This is a great point and clearly the circle is big enough where it was eventually going to get out and one of the things that eventually took down this. This intelligent organization was frankly the areas of thinking that they could pull something like this off and there is some willful ignorance. two there were plenty of team officials. Who didn't know every detail what was going on. But maybe didn't wanna know the whole thing however you get to the world series. I i don't wanna ask any questions. There was some of that. It's a great question because there were plenty of players especially pitchers in that clubhouse that did not like what was going on and in grumbled about it to one another and mike fires were mentioned before a toll every team that he subsequently went to after twenty seventeen. Hey the astros are doing this. Be careful them so it does eventually get out. And in retrospect it is kind of inevitable almost comically inevitable. We'll get out but you guys know sports too and the other thing else about this is that there's a code of in a locker room. What goes on here stays in here and in some ways and ed. I'm not telling an athlete anything which you don't know but in some ways that can be good right like in a limited way like there's a bond in here that's close and we're not going to tell people what goes on but in many ways of course when it comes to cheating or or other behaviors that have nothing to do with cheating but things that are covered up with and locker rooms to probably shouldn't be so. There's a little bit of that too. I think of that code of silence that took a few years to for someone to violate. And you mentioned that. The astros were previously praised for being very analytical organization for using their wins and losses very strategically as they were building this team. That was yes wanted to be a diplomatic about it as they were building towards this team that eventually made it to the world series signed ceiling. Baseball is is not new. it's goes on currently. I'm sure it's going on now. When did it in the minds of people involved in the minds of the astros critics officially crossed the line and become something that was that was beyond the pale. That's one and then the second thing is you mentioned like the lights in the scoreboard altuve as body buzzers and other allegation out there and we gotten to the bottom of all the methods that have been used. Well two good questions. The first one in terms of When it across the line wisest worse or is it worth going on for more than one hundred years. That was my main question when his book was is the estrogen just the ones that got caught or they really worse and less ethical than other organizations and this one actually in a sport where there's a lot of unwritten rules that can be unclear. I found that there was a very clear. A consistent so called unwritten rule about this is persisted for more than a century. And it's basically this and there's a quote in the introduction of my book that really. I felt satisfactorily. Answered this question from ty cobb records played more than one hundred years ago and he said And this is what baseball people still tend to believe that if you can use your eyes and your intellect and your knowledge of the sport to figure out what the pitcher is gonna throw on the field of play between the lines and then you can use hand gestures or or Some kind of very subtle will language to get from one teammate. To another that's all well and good. That's on your opponent and that hit your protect his signs not tip off what he's going to throw and that's the work of being an intelligent baseball player but once you go outside the field of play and use technology in one thousand nine hundred it was literally league opera glasses like hell scopes and little little primitive electronic buzzers and things like that persisting into the twentieth century. Basically the same moral thing. Moral choice is a high speed camera just for different time with the astros. Did those things have gone on. They've always been considered wrong really beyond the pale. So in the astros crossed the line was when they had video technology that was being used with no runners on base nobody there to look at the catcher and uses brain. But just there's the catchers hand on a video and thunk. Let me let me bang on this garbage can or ring the dugout phone or drill drill into the. There's another one that's one didn't get as much publicity. Coach would sit in the dugout and when a certain pitcher is gonna come someone from behind. There's this thing called thera guns. The massage kind of like a drill. Right yeah you drill a gun into the wall. The coach feels deragon vibration and goes change So those are all beyond the pale. Not okay right yes so. So there's an athlete saying like this doesn't sound quite right right. Like as yeah..

"Giving life to taking it away and we'll talk about predators parasites and mortality of bitterns like most birds winner is really the big killer. Most of radio track. American veterans seem to occur while they were on their wintering grounds but they are definitely pray for some animals to crows blue. Jays and black birds are known to steal least bitterns eggs lease fiterman seemed to return the favor though they are known to steal eggs in young from yellow headed blackbirds. But really kind of the big threat for bitterness eggs and babies is nest instability study of least bitterness in a managed wetland in south carolina found that five hundred seventy three bidding eggs lost over the course of a seven year. Study eleven percent of those were due to ness being knocked down by storms or clumsy alligators. And don't get mad at these alligators actually pretty helpful to keep away. Mammalian predators like raccoons From rating the ness. But these alligators do little to stop predators like common more hands and yellow rat snakes that are observed. Preying on leased bitterness. Common more has in yellow rat. Snakes appeared be mortal enemies of least bitterns and least bittered parents will mob them if they approach too close to a nest hawks and turtles have been observed killing and eating adult least bitterns. Another thing that hurts. These birds is toxins. Benzine a wide variety of critters and can accumulate levels of toxins in their bodies chemicals such as ddt. Mercury or. insecticide might be present. Just a tiny amount in like one individual minnow but if you eat a hundred of them it begins to add up a found a study. That found high levels of insecticide called deal. Driven in lee spinner eggs in crawley louisiana. These bitterns happen to be nesting in a rice field who seeds have been treated with insecticides while bitterns horn eating the seeds this is an example how easily a toxin at one level of the food chain can make its way up because obviously probably the insects that are maybe some little fish that were eating the rice they got the toxin and then the bitterns picked it up from them and parasites in when it be dirty podcasts. If i didn't mention some dirty gross parasite bitterns have the typical warming. Bland of tapeworms roundworms nematodes that most fish eating birds acquire mike kingfisher and blue heron episode. Talk a lot about those. But one pair slide. That i wanna especially point out is called prostate ghanem Us which appears to be specific to the least been and likes to hang out in Basically that all in one hall that birds used to p boop half sex. So i guess it's cool that you have your own parasite least bitterns. Sorry that your butthole. The american bitterns population sits at around three million while the least bitterns much less. It's only around a hundred. Thirty thousand populations for american veterans are declining while lease finish are somewhat more stable however since both these birds have very reclusive they are difficult to study In a major reason for the decline is the destruction of wetlands. Just creating a small pond or wetland around the lake is not enough for these birds. Studies have found that least burn. Populations are most robust in large unbroken wetlands somewhat. Interestingly the more trees and shrubs that are present the last least bitterns there will be this is not to be because trees interrupts provide habitat from mammalian predators that can easily come in and kill some minutes so really especially for the least baiter in having these large areas of wetlands with the nice deep water and the reads poking up from them that probably take years and years to grow is the perfect thing for them because nothing is gonna come out there and mess with them both. These birds were historically hunted by humans. They're slow flight. Inhabit a freezing and acting like a read when confronted made them particularly easy to shoot john. James audubon noted that the american bidder was common in markets of new orleans. Where people bought it to make gumbo john. James audubon noted that the american veteran was common in the markets of new orleans as kind of a lower grade meat. But i'm good enough to make gumbo with. I did read that both. These bitterns dinna go down without a fight. Though when wounded they pack and claw fiercely sometimes causing severe wounds while folks of nearly reached the bitter end of the show today. I advise only preceding. If you're true bernard i'm i'm about to talk about bitter evolution and then wrap up describing corey's bettern. I'll be fine. If you check out now just leaving a review you know all right been revelation. Biddings are in the hair and family called. Rda day which i formed around fifty one million years ago to account migrate blue heron episode. Learn more about how the family farmed but for all purposes. I'm gonna start around thirty five million years ago when the branch of the rda tree that would form the bitterns split off. Interestingly one of the first burns to form off the branch was the zigzag heron. Yes that's right. The zigzag heron is actually more closely related to the bitterns. It's very primitive. In ancient herron of south america that evolved around thirty million years ago. So it's kinda like a living. Fossil really liked the development of other. Egerton herons bitterns started out small and the big body. Size of the american veterans came later all the early branches of the bitter tree are small bodied earns with names such as dwarf bidder. The little bitter and of course our tiny least bettern which emerged around seventeen point seven million years ago big body size in bitterns appears to be pretty recent evolutionary feature starting around twelve million years ago with the australia asian and the great bitterns. The american veteran is actually the youngest species in the bidder. Tree separating from the very similar pioneered needed bettern of south america around six point. Two million years ago these big body bitterns make up the genus bo torres while the smaller bitterns including our least bettern are within the older genus Break the fossil record. Also shed some insights into the development of bitterns the oldest fossil of abedin. I could find came from otake o- on the south island of new zealand from rock formation dating from the early miocene around sixteen to nineteen million years ago.

Youtube dot com slash richeisenshow with michael keaton. Going down memory lane about mr mom and beetlejuice and bobby khanna volley just gotten into a parking space in brooklyn that his car definitely shouldn't have fit into but he did. We shouldn't seven minute segment on parallel parking. So proud of that so proud of that back in the chair all week. It's been fog me real. Well we still have many more months to go brother. Manny why not. That's ladies one of the many bobby volley drops that we have brother from another follows. This show every single day on nbc sports on peacock with michael smith and our next guest to help us take us to his show. Michael holly hall you sir. Oh rich. I'm doing great Missed you man. It's been a long time how you doing. I'm doing fine for talking to you. I'm good life. It's good what's on your shelf. That's coming up rightly life is good. What's on our show this to start a typical. You know around the world around the culture kinda show and talk about the nba Lebron james being shut out of the best player in the nba poll by general managers and executives. He's upset about that. And james harden saying that If the nets are healthy nobody can beat them. Nobody can play within hardly argue. That one are hard to argue with that one Jeopardy jeopardy okay. It's hard to argue with the hardened saying if he durant and kyrie or all healthy with the rest of the team around them that they'd be impossible to beat. It's hard to argue really hard to argue with that. Oh yeah. I think so. I mean durant put team usa on his back quite a bit. So i mean. I think we're i think we're good there Hardened comes back healthy in Honey buns for everybody you know and And kyrie i. I the lebron stuff we talked about earlier because it was. Do we get the number right. Chris was just ten on nancy okay. Gm gm's i mean. I mean really. You know so. He's left off that list. Who cares wait a minute. Who cares obviously michael but michael. Why why should he care. Why should he care. Because 'cause because you know this you guys know this. They're not like. I'm gonna rebuild that old quote from eps scott. The this gerald that the rich are not like you and me right okay. So professional athletes earn like you and me they are just a take anything real or imagined and if that is a nugget for motivation for feeling like you've been disrespected nobody cares about you. Nobody sees what you're doing you take it. So that's that's lebron james doing. Hey i'm an underdog you've never been an underdog as entire professional life but he'll turn this into an underdog moment because that's what he needs. Well he's not another dog because he he's you know. First of all underdog. I don't believe is a warner brothers character that would be allowed and space jam. You know. but but he's not an underdog because he's one of the all time greats that's established and he also People wanna play with him so he's gonna get. Anthony davis common. He's going to get russell. Westbrook common automatically makes him less of an underdog you know brady decides to look around and say i've had enough of it here. I'm going to go to a spot. Where i'm i'm not worried about my weaponry and i'm not worried about whether roster's going to be built around me that's romina go so the decks kinda stacked and i you know I'm with you on the whole idea of whatever you can do to motivate yourself. I just think out of everything that you just mentioned that i agree with harden. And i'm you know what i understand where lebron's coming from but i think it's a waste of time and i say this about hard and harden statement this is why yeah i guess technically you can say yeah. There's no argument there. But when you're when you've got kyrie irving who who has not played a complete season in a long time if you look at his history and you got kevin durant who is brilliant as he is Got a birthday next month. I think thirty two thirty three. Maybe thirty three next month coming off a major injury a couple of years ago and harden who was injured last year. Yeah you could say if we're healthy but the chances are chances you being healthy are not that high. So i i. I and i know i've got a little bit of a brooklyn anti nets bias. Do some investigation of like why. Why is just so strong in me. I don't know. I need some therapy on over this one but i i just get sick of that that logic well you know we had done this if kevin durant foot hadn't been on the line that is true that is true. That is very very true if if he was a inch behind that line. That's take to take this to your brother-in-law okay. If david tyree hadn't made a catch on super bowl forty two the patriots would have been undefeated. But guess what. It didn't happen rodney. Harrison's fall. Michael i mean you know that. Yeah rodney harrison. No you know whose fault it was. Really asante samuel. Who was covering he been. Dropped a pick six play before. What but also he did drop that but he was in the wrong coverage so he did a little freestyle. So rodney wound up covering tyree. That was supposed to be this. Thought they sue people who are saying. The bronze talk is a waste of energy is bringing up a super bowl loss from like nineteen million years ago like like it if they we get play if all day. You're probably gonna say rich. You know i could've been jamie fox. I could've been the rock. I could've been famous now. But i could have been global. That could have been a global mogul. If things had turned differently at the university of michigan we could all do that. can't we. We could have a great time with michael smith and a good weekend. Let's do this again very soon.

"Sounds so simply had no idea but now the data's finally not only refreshing but but at some level astounding nature. Welcome back to the nature podcast. This week possible fossil evidence of the oldest animal ever and eavesdropping on glitziest. Seismic whisper. i'm benjamin thompson. And i'm noah baker. I on the show. You might remember that. Last week we had a story about sponges. Well it seems when done we have another sponge story coming up now. We'll be from much further in the past. Here's reporter nick. Petra chow with more. When did the first animals evolve. It's more difficult question than you might think. Well to be honest. We don't understand when animals arose at all this is. Rachel would a geologist of an interest in the evolution of life and this is for two reasons first of all. The fossil record of animals is incredibly difficult to decipher. We have fossils which we being paleontologists and geologists. We can put our hands on our hearts and say this is definitely a fossil animal and certainly many many fossils in the cambrian are undoubtedly animals so the campaign started at approximately five hundred and forty million years ago so anything younger than that we can be pretty secure is an animal but going back into older rocks it gets more and more uncertain. Scientists are pretty. Calm that some fossils from around five hundred and fifty million years ago animals but much earlier than that and things get much more murky and hang on. Didn't rachel say there were two major problems. The other set of problems as if that wasn't enough. Is that the other way. We have tried to work out. The origin of major changes in the evolution of life is to use what's called molecular biology. So this is really just a family tree based on relatedness of dna and when you do this for elucidating the origin of animals most molecular biology suggests. The origin of animals was anywhere between approximately six hundred fifty eight hundred fifty million years. There were also many varies what the earliest animals may have looked like one points to sponges one of the reasons that sponges in particular such a focus of interest is they're often accepted to be the most basal of animals sponges and yes. They are animals. Think about that victim. Time you in the shower don't have complicated nervous circulatory or digestive systems. They survive by filter feeding from water. They also have half your cell types than the animals so they may not be a bad place for an evolutionary starts and this week in nature. There's a paper that claims found a sponge from eight hundred nineteen million years ago. His elizabeth turner the paper offer. It consists of little cubicles. Hey so they're thirty. One thousands of a millimeter across approximately and they're filled with little calcium crystals. That are clear and translucent. And they're embedded these little tables are embedded in a ground mass of much more finely crystalline calcite crystals. So they look darker. So what you see. Is these little worthy tubes inside a darker grandmas and what's important about the little tubes is that they anastomosis in a very distinctive way. So they form a three dimensional meshwork of divergent branching and rejoining three dimensional which is a quite a complex micro structure. That can't be explained as being you know any of the other possible things that could have been around at the time like like fungi or algae or bacteria. These little worm cubes branch or an eskimos in such a way that elizabeth believes it points towards an animal origin. A sponge elizabeth believes that these fossils look very similar to some more recent fossils also thought to be sponges. I've got picture on my spin now. The to the two fussell's side by side the ones that we described five hundred million years ago and the one that's elizabeth has found and i honestly don't see a difference they need to be identical to me. This is robert writing another ancient sponge hunter describing a fossil sponge. He recently published a paper about we. Were looking at rocks. Much young about five hundred million years old and they always been taught to be dramatic lights lights which calcified microbial mats. Like you see present day in places like shock bay australia but when you look at them closely you see these delicate network of tubes which we convinced a sponge fabrics. And they're interfered with dramatic light fabrics. The bacteria fabric and the fabrics that dispense fabrics in. Those are very very. I would say they're identical those that Elizabeth is found robot and elizabeth suggests that their fossils represents sponges that would have had a close relationship with bacteria in fact in the harsh eight hundred nine hundred million year old world. They think a relationship like this would have been necessary so they lived in a wreath. Okay so these wreaths were built by for synthesizing organisms. And this is important because at the time you know eight hundred some odd million years ago. Eight hundred ninety years or so. Earth didn't have a whole lot of oxygen in its atmospheres ocean so an animal's obligatory require a certain amount of dissolved oxygen in water or in the atmosphere. In fact where. I find them living is in little pockets and crevices little tiny caves just underneath reef surface. Little caves that are centimeters diameter. Also if these fossils are indeed that live eight hundred nine hundred million years ago that would mean that they survived some of the harshest parts of of history very cold period known as the tri geniune. Where it's possible that nearly all of earth surface was frozen referred to by some a snowball earth so that fusion away handle on the asians. It means that the must've been life even if we haven't found it yet. The must've been animal. Life surviving the snowball glaciations. But as you might remember from the beginning the further back in time you go. The more uncertainty this fossil would predate any uncontentious animal fossils by several hundred million years..

No matter who you are I think that's something that's very. That's like step one in ten steps that they need to be taking to fix these problems that they're dealing with I do think they should be much more transparent about the rules.

The system racking up enough strikes can lead to a permanent ban so we knew that but facebook also did disclosed user can also receive a strike for approving violating content on a page that they manage. So it's not just necessarily your personal account but all strikes also expire after one year. So if you've racked up some strikes over a long period of time you may have a lot and you may not believe if you've been following the story enough to feel that facebook either did or did not do the right thing in the situation. Yeah i have been following the story a little bit. And there's been a lot of criticism of the oversight board. And how little oversight there is of the oversight board and how really facebook should be making these decisions on their own instead of kind of setting up this fake outside group. That isn't really an outside group I think this is actually a good decision though a lot of Activists and just community members have been pushing for something a little bit more clear especially a clear policy that will be Enforced no matter who you are I think that's something that's very. That's like step one in ten steps that they need to be taking to fix these problems that they're dealing with I do think they should be much more transparent about the rules. I get the whole thing about gaming the system but this isn't this isn't a technical game this is literally rules for what you have to do to be reinstated or what what you do wrong And so i think we need more transparency around this but this is a really good start.

"All right well. Nineteen million years ago. The shark population and the oceans dropped by ninety percent with shark diversity also dipping by seventy percent. It was so dramatic. Researchers believe the impact of this population change is still being felt today. But exactly how did the researchers determined this and what. Miracles of technology helps them uncover the past. Emily you've been kinda looking into the story and finding out all the cool science facts that And the cool tech. That's kind of Brought this discovery delight and and kind of reshaped how we're thinking about sharks today so So what was what was going up. The shark pacalypse. So why don't i start with the shark apocalypse. And then get into the amazing technologies That the scientists used to figure this out so basically about nineteen million years ago There appears to have been a dramatic crash in shark populations that they've never recovered from as he said so. Basically there were a lot more species of shark And they were just much more populous and they. Their population dropped by about ninety percent. So that's a huge number and about seventy percent of species died out at that point so the sharks that we have remaining with us are still just a fraction of that original population before nineteen million years ago. So we're we're kind of living in the in in the shark post apocalypse. The post shark Apocalypse and the thing. That's really interesting about it for scientists. We don't know why it happened.

"Home for friday. June fourth twenty twenty one. I'm jackson cuvette. Nineteen precautions largely prevented outbreaks of the flu. This past winter and they also may have caused the two types of flu viruses to go extinct speaking of extinction. Sharks apparently lost ninety percent of their population nineteen million years ago and have never fully recovered and what day to day. Life is like for the first team to arrive in japan for the tokyo olympic games. Here are some of the cool things from the news today. Zoo you probably remember this past winter. Maybe you remember the segment from this show. That flu cases were down to almost nothing this past season despite a fear that usual peaks in the flu between december and february would cause hospitals to overflow with patients on top of the covid nineteen patients. It turned out that all the preventative measures like masks. Distancing and crucially not traveling internationally that we were taking to reduce the spread of the novel corona virus. Also help keep the flu at bay that and a lot more people than usual about the flu vaccine and johns hopkins reported in january the centers for disease control and prevention estimates that the flu causes up to forty five million illnesses. Up to eight hundred ten thousand hospitalizations and up to sixty one thousand deaths each year in the united states but this flu season there have been just nine hundred and twenty five cases of the flu around the us. So far and quotes. That's huge or rather miniscule is suppose and part of that could absolutely be caused by people would've gone to the hospital for their symptoms not going due to the general hesitancy to go to covid nineteen filled wards during the pandemic that is still an enormous drop however the fear when those numbers started coming out quickly became the coming flu season would be even worse and that's due to the fact that a lot of people won't be following the same preventative measures as last year but also that we weren't given a chance to work up immunity to certain strains like usual and the lack of circulation of the flu made it more difficult for vera logistics to predict which strains they should make vaccine for and in recent years even before the pandemic this has gotten substantially more difficult helen brands well reports in stat quote in the eight years leading up to the covid nineteen pandemic one of the subtypes of influenza. A viruses started acting bizarrely. Flu viruses continuously evolve to evade the immune defenses that humans developed to defend them off but after two thousand twelve. H three n two started to behave differently. It was almost as if there was a falling out. Within a family the viruses formed into factions clayton's in urology language drifting further and further apart with each passing year and making the process of choosing the version of h three n two in flu shots and increasingly challenging task. The greater the genetic distance between the clayton's the bigger cost of making the wrong choice vaccine that protects reasonably well against one might perform poorly if the other turned out to be the dominant strain in a given winter. Then fact that's precisely what happened. In the two thousand seventeen eighteen season when the flu shot failed to protect three quarters of vaccinated people in the us against the three into strain in circulation and quotes so with that mounting and now the lack of data from which could identify dominant strain this past season and with people's immunity potentially weakened against certain strains public health experts have already been bracing themselves for a gnarly twenty twenty one twenty two flu season but brands well shared some potentially very good news yesterday. Instead because of those preventative measures giving the flu less chances to infect people. It appears that one of the rebellious h three into glades may have gone extinct. And it's not the only one. One of the influence of lineages be yamagata may also have died off brands reports that neither be yamagata nor the h three into played called. Three c three have been spotted in over a year according to the international databases. That monitor flu evolution. Both trevor bedford a computational biologist at the fred hutchinson cancer research center and fluorine kramer. A flu expert at mount sinai school of medicine have been keeping an eye on the databases and are hopeful but skeptical about the three c three a. and b. m. god is extinctions kramer said quote just because nobody saw it doesn't mean it's disappeared completely right but it could end quotes then cowling a flu expert at hong kong university and e skeptic about bmi god. His disappearance makes the point that scientists worked so hard to get the quadrivalent vaccines. You may have noticed in recent years and now they may only need. Try valence again. That's because there are essentially four versions of the flu virus that currently cause human disease you've got influence a a an influence of be now under influenza a. there are two subtypes currently transmitting. H one n one. And h three. And two then there are sub classifications under those including the three c three a sub classification. That might be gone for good now under influence a b. There's just two. Lineages be victoria and beyond maganga so the quadrivalent flu vaccine is a foreign one shot that includes version of h one n one h three into b. victoria. Nba yamagata now even if be yamagata and three c. Three a are both gone. We'd still need a vaccine that included other clouds of h three n two and richard webby director of the world health organization. Collaborating centre for studies on the ecology of influenza in animals and birds is betting that the be yamagata viruses aren't gone yet. He points out that the influence of be virus lineages quiet for bid and then reappearing later. But he says it's possible will lose some of the diversity of age three into and as the most diverse one that had clydes growing more and more distinct from one another in recent years. He says quote if we have to pick a subtype to lose diversity in that would be the one end quotes. So what does this mean going. Forward will make a difference this year that remains to be seen. But it's definitely welcome news in a year when varela gis have had an unusually challenging task ahead of them in picking which strains to include in the vaccine and speaking to ari shapiro on. Npr's all things considered yesterday afternoon brands wall suggested that we should take this as a learning opportunity. Some behaviors from before the pandemic will obviously return opening schools. International travel less mask wearing but if people aren't feeling well or if their kid is sick brands will said people should absolutely stay home. And i'm not super optimistic personally. But i do hope that many employers have learned the value of stopping the spread of disease and the possibilities in occasional remote work or you know even better just giving people ample sick leave and paid time off. But that's for another day for now. I will take a possible win. Can and less diversity in flu strains is definitely a win..

"They can see. Wow this one year lots of denver rights and then you know the next. After about one hundred thousand years of extinction way fewer of these dendritic falling off and in order to figure out how many denver rights there were and also to distinguish the rights from each other. The researchers had to do some old-fashioned counting and do some old fashioned eyeballing but they also use software analysis to identify the shapes of dun-rite rights and to classify them into groups so that they could start saying like this is the dendritic from this type of shark their denver. It looks a little bit more pointy and they also Doing all their statistical analysis to try to figure out this signature of extinction. They had us all kinds of software that includes machine learning and statistics lots of statistical packages to kind of Correct for any Bias is in their samples and they did have samples from two parts of the world. But they're still small samples and so they need to regularize it. And i think when we imagine this kind of work being done we think about the big ship with the drill and the core and like people counting fossils. But we don't think about the fact that all of those processes are now made easier and faster by using these incredible software packages that allow us to make these statistical inferences about for example. What percentage of sharks died out. Nineteen million years ago during you know maybe it was like a global shark. Nato event from the documentary film series. Stark nato may turn out to have been More true than we thought. It seems like because it's it's such a huge number right. It's like dramatic dramatic stuff for the sharks so yeah shirks perished but it's it's it probably not reasonable to think we'll enough we know enough about it. We can bring them all back because we probably don't live on an earth where we could have ninety percent more sharks than we do now. I mean obviously populations are depleted in certain areas. But then what do you do with the knowledge rather than know more about the past or maybe that's the point. I mean it is actually really important for us to be gathering this data because right now we are going through incredibly difficult period where shark populations are being. Decimated party's by fishing partly by habitat destruction from humans and so knowing what happened to the ecosystems in the oceans after this previous experience under stand in fact how important sharks are and how much we need them for our ecosystems and how much of a loss it would be if we continue with our overfishing so this is actually kind of a warning sign from history that like when we lose sharks. It's not a great thing They can their populations can come back but they won't come back completely and so here's my psa for you is protect sharks. Actually sharks a really great. They're really important to our ecosystems. We love them. We don't want another shark.

"To do. I take that as of the land. Yup in other words not out of the ocean. That's right now. That means is what that essentially means is land plants evolved. Once right. and jay's point was well pl- plants from the ocean could have migrated to the land more than once in which case that would not be true. So that's really the question. There's two parts of this. Did did land plants only evolve once and to did. Did they come from green. Algae right so those are the two things that could make it. Wrong ajay's compelling there. But i i have a feeling correct in that the Citing cycads one is going to be the fiction. I guess i'll have to go with. Karen say the The cycads one is the fiction. Okay so surprised. If the first one was fiction hedging your bets all right so you're all spread out so in those cases i usually take them in order. So we'll start with number one all land plants derived from common terrestrial ancestor which was a green algae j. You think you think this one is the fiction. Everyone else thinks this science and this one is science. It is true that land plants evolved want and that they evolved from green algae The i the notion is that the evolved from green algae in ponds at the end the ponds dry up. You know and then. They adapted to become progressively more tolerant to being in water and then and then spread out from there across the land and once that happened they took over. there was really no. They took over the. Although i guess and there was no room there was no no space for other other plans to do that and was green. Algae plants revolve from green algae interesting. Is that green. Algae and red algae adapted to the land and do green. Algae is the one that led to all other land plants. Imagine if the red algae had one out yeah the planet we could ever red planet instead of a green planet in terms of vegetation. But would we know the difference or would it just looked the same to us. We would have our entire evolutionary like our visual adaptation would have been based around red plants. Which is so weird. Yeah one different but we would. It would be usual. be normal for. Yeah yeah that's what i'm saying. So you're green with plan on one of those new star trek movies sort of read. We're gonna was wild looking to all right. let's go to number two. The first seed bearing plants were cycads. Palm tree like jim sperms that are still extent as a group today. Evan carry you. Think this one is the fiction bob and j you think this one is science and this one is the fiction. Thanks kara you saved. Cycads were around in the jurassic period around today with dinosaurs. I with right okay. We're we're dinosaurs and they are still around today but they weren't the first seed bearing plants the first seed bearing plants. You were kind of getting closer care. They were burned and they were so called seed ferns away but so cycads aren't firm ferns. No pommery like prompter. So you've ever seen those. Let's take a bulb and then like the palm tree leaves coming out the top four. Yeah yeah like a paintbrush. So they also the produce seeds and the those seeds r. e in by native people in certain tropical areas and Also they can contain neuro-toxins. So don't do that There there was a cluster of that was caused by bats. Eating cycads and people eating the bats traded neuro-toxins yeah What was the first seat bearing plants where ferns firms were were. That was your basically your first group of land plants evolved. From that algae's the ferns before the conifers evolved and other things evolve and the seeds were an adaptation to dry land surviving so before seeds. How did plants reproduce geremia. Did they just do the thing. Like propagation biking floated through the air like vegetative propagation where they split and grow. Some did that but they all day also had sexual propagation through sports male and female sports and that oregon zoo that an older. No spores are older. Sports are older. And then those spores evolved into the male spores divall evolved into pollen and the female spores into seats. It's just the way and the dual adaptation air is that it it protects them and keeps them moist but also provides nutrition for them so that they have some ready calories when they when they germinate and other than that they would spread their spores everywhere and hope that a couple of landed next to each other. So it was. It was definitely an evolutionary adaptation. Improvement okay. The first trees appear on four hundred nineteen million years ago consisted of multiple columns around a hollow trunk and connected by soft tissue and have no living descendants. that is science in this definition of tree has a woody trunk basically so this is cool. So they were and the way. The artist's impression of the trees makes them look like truffle the trees. I don't think that was intentional. But but they're they're cool looking they but their trunk is really a ring of smaller trunks connected like a chain link fence with soft tissue in between and as they grow each of the individual columns grows which kinda split apart the trunk and then it has to repair itself by filling it in with the soft tissue. And that's how it gets big. That's how it gets bigger so they can to eight to twelve meters tall. It's pretty big. These are the cloud doc. See lops ed's name then yup pretty pretty cool and they they were out. I guess competed by the modern trees. Conifers with a single central trunk rather than the ring about or drinks. It's kind of weird that they still define it as a tree. If it was an evolutionary dead end like it was not tree is not a distant group. Obviously tree is a tree defined as having a woody trunk so yeah i hate me so much. I know it's like a nut is not a classic thing either. It's like saying calling a nut peanuts or cashew or an almond. The they're all different means. Lou yeah whatever and is a taco a sandwich really confusion but you have put together imagine if these things were the ones that survived this. It'd be these would be our trees and we would take it for granted that this is trees and so definitely the first forest were of these guys right. That would be so cool. I love just imagining like alien. Ancient landscapes with completely bizarre plants and animals love. It always ever since voice. I've always loved Sci-fi side movies that show really creative and distinctive alien plants. That have looked. They looked like archery's right. And if you're in the past you have ferns right care. Basically that's how you know you're in the past. There's ferns yeah.

Weak summer fares, strikes clip Ryanair's wings
"Fallen prophets to three hundred nineteen million years basically blaming high fuel costs and, also pretty strong warnings about the risk of a heart bricks and the John Strickland aviation specialist at jealous consulting John these numbers pretty much just predicted but Ronnie does face a very difficult summer ahead isn't it yeah I think he's probably the most difficult summer we've. Ever ever, seen for Ryanair they've rightly pointed out external? Challenges Faced enormous flight cancellations because of air traffic control strikes so we heard EasyJet. Talked about that last week lately Vaduz one nine out of the last, thirteen weeks friendship friendship controls the Marseille control centers had regular strikes in. That doesn't simply effect flights, to France but, overflights to important markets like Spain where we're both Ryan heavily, expose but. The interesting thing is as you said the internal, challenges rhinos facing stemming back to the pilot. Shortages the autumn they took, a big, step forward by recognizing unions but that's proven to, be very lumpy process they've made, good progress by for example getting recognition with bow of a UK. Pilot's union but the whole. Market of island I, think it was a degree of bad blood over the, years I find, that very challenging now it does mean but a lot of, people are, affected on, flights canceled but percentage wise there's still flying ninety-five cyclic. Because it because it is interesting Michael Leary chief executive Ron always swore that, he, would never recognize trade unions they, made a big move in the face of disruption last summer to say okay we are gonna recognize trade unions but that doesn't seem to have put. The genie back in the bottle doesn't actually the grenade Summer of disruption, after Lhasa as, I said the the context of disruption is limited in terms, of their, total output, but of course I say big that still means foulland's. Of people are affected when flights canceled I think we'll see that continue Jim, Acosta, the rest of the summer season, they won't give in they weren't concede sake him having a smooth summer they wants to negotiate Let me say that this. Time last year well this. Unless you 'cause they hadn't even recognized as a single union but I think what will happen. Is overtime more unions will come on board but I think, Ryan philosophically very quick moving. Company they used to deciding somebody today doing it immediate your within twenty four hours of AC unions wants to take it at a far more sedate pace over several. Months they can't wait that law this is a business built on on low fares, that deliver profits by having tight cost management so they've, taken this quite big, philosophical step to accept unions. But not at, any price any, of that means they close, route so basis to make a point we'll, still do so join, just, briefly another warning from Michael earlier this morning on hard Brexit. He's been, doing this for, awhile and it sort of come a bit more mainstream hasn't the idea. That once we, leave the European, Union the risen to deal maybe flights can't take off it's. Slightly inconceivable but then again stranger, things as you say stranger things have happened is in nobody's interest. Whatever side of political divide whatever country in or. Out of the EU You're involved, in to have flight cease at the end of. March next year but there is just that nagging, doubt of could something happen could be a bit of brinkmanship would wear she see flies, suspended insert again Ryan will. Tough it.
