Former Jewish Labour Movement chair arrested for allegedly trying to meet a minor
Ivor Caplin, a former British Member of Parliament and prominent figure in the #UK’s Zionist Lobby, was exposed in a pedophile sting that was recorded and uploaded online, as he was lured to a location with the alleged intent of meeting a minor. Caplin was instrumental as former chair of the Jewish Labour Movement, during the period in which anti-Semitism claims helped bring down former #Labour Party leader Jeremy #Corbyn.#Pedophile #MEP #Politics #Israel #UKPol #UKPolitics #LabourParty #GeremyCorbyn

Well, Ivor wouldn't go bald, but he would be pretty worried over loosing leaves. He needs those to photosynthesize after all! -

Today I turned in my bachelor thesis! I considered drawing something bombastic to celebrate the occasion, but I'm just feeling kind of tired and serene. So here's Ivor doing some self care.

🔓 Oh, look! Another #cryptography "wizard" from the ivory tower of academia thinks they can save the world by roasting #Kerberos tickets like marshmallows over a campfire 🔥. Matthew Green, emerging from the cryptographic crypt, offers 1,473 words of ego-stroking drivel about his resume while the rest of us wonder if the true #security threat is death by #boredom. 🥱

Large herbivores such as elephants contribute to tree diversity
A recent study using satellite data has highlighted the critical role that large herbivores play in promoting tree diversity in forest ecosystems. The research showed that areas with abundant large herbivores like elephants had more varied tree cover and more tree diversity. This finding underscores the importance of large herbivores in many ecosystems and that they should have primary importance in conservation strategies, particularly in the context of global efforts to combat climate change and extinction. Help big herbivores every time you shop and #Boycottpalmoil and #Boycott4Wildlife in the supermarket!

Tree cover and its heterogeneity in natural ecosystems is linked to large herbivore biomass globally. One Earth, 2023; DOI: 10.1016/j.oneear.2023.10.007 Media release from Lund University. “Large herbivores such as elephants, bison and moose contribute to tree diversity.” ScienceDaily, 3 November 2023.
Maintaining species-rich and resilient ecosystems is key to preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change. Here, megafauna — the part of the animal population in an area that is made up of the largest animals — plays an important role. In a new study published in the scientific journal One Earth, an international research team, of which Lund University is a part, has investigated the intricate interplay between the number of voracious herbivores like elephants and the diversity of trees in the world’s protected areas.
“Our findings reveal a fascinating and complex story of how large herbivorous animals shape the world’s natural landscapes. The tree cover in these areas is sparser, but the diversity of the tree cover is much higher than in areas without large herbivores,” says Lanhui Wang, a researcher in physical geography and ecosystem science at Lund University.
“In our global analysis, we find a substantial association between the biomass of large herbivores and varied tree cover in protected areas, notably for browsers and mixed-feeders such as elephants, bison and moose and in non-extreme climates,” explains the study’s senior author, Jens-Christian Svenning, professor at Aarhus University.
Hereby, the study supports that large wild herbivores promote a diverse vegetation structure, creating a rich habitat for many other species. This is due to the animals’ consumption of vegetation as well as physical disturbances.
According to Lanhui Wang, these new research findings highlight the need to integrate large herbivores into restoration and conservation strategies. Not only for the sake of the animals themselves but also for the vital role they play in shaping landscapes and influencing biodiversity. The researchers argue that this aspect is not sufficiently considered within the framework of sustainable land management and ecosystem restoration.
“At a time when global initiatives are intensely focused on combating climate change and biodiversity loss, our findings highlight the need for a broader and more nuanced discussion about ecosystem management and conservation measures. It is of utmost importance to integrate understanding of the ecological impact of megafauna into this,” says Lanhui Wang.
The UN has declared the 2020s as the decade of ecosystem restoration. In total, 115 countries have agreed to restore up to 100,000 square kilometres of nature in total. To achieve this, more wild-living large herbivores are needed worldwide, says Lanhui Wang.
“I believe that we will need to protect and conserve large herbivores to achieve the UN goals. Megafauna are crucial for tree cover, which in turn promotes carbon sequestration and a diversity of habitats,” says Lanhui Wang.

In case you missed it, the yearly review from Andy Pavlo is out talking about Databases in 2025: https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~pavlo/blog/2026/01/2025-databases-retrospective.html
Of particular note, he mentions that in the past year "...most of the database energy and activity is going into #PostgreSQL companies, offerings, projects, and derivative systems."
With #IvorySQL bringing #Oracle features to #Postgres, it'll be interesting to see how the database ecosystem changes further this year.
