The next frontier of shopping will be livestreamed
Years before covid-19 reared its hideous head and gave the world an urgent reason to shop from home, retail influencers were livestreaming inside of boutiques, offering product closeups and even trying on clothes, shoes and jewelry for an online audience. In 2017, livestreaming marketplace ShopShops sold a viewer a second-hand Birkin bag for $14,500 - no returns accepted. Livestream shopping has been wildly popular - in China, that is.
Why consumers will swing between saving and splurge during Covid-19
People shopping in a mall (representational image) | Commons Text Size: Consumers tend to respond to mass crises in two contradictory ways, research has shown: We retract into our shells and hold onto our money, then we spend as if there’s no tomorrow. One reaction naturally follows the other: First comes penny-pinching to help us regain a lost sense of control, then an exuberant play to live this brief and fragile life to the fullest while we still can.

Rural America Isn’t Safe from Covid-19

Rural America Isn’t Safe from Covid-19
By Mary Duenwald (Bloomberg Opinion) — Looking at a map of Covid-19 cases nationwide, it’s hard not to long for home. I’m in New York, a state with 31,000 cases of the infection; but South Dakota, where I grew up, has 41, one of the very smallest counts of any state in the U.S. — spread out over 77,000 square miles. Yes, South Dakota has fewer people, but that’s still only one in 21,500 people infected. In New York, the ratio is one in 634. But South Dakota is worried nonetheless, and with reason.

Why even America isn’t testing everyone for coronavirus. Because, it isn’t needed
US Military Health Support prepared to support interagency coronavirus response | Representational image | health.mil (USA) Text Size: The White House is investigating “self-swab” coronavirus tests, President Trump said Wednesday, implying that a do-it-yourself test for Covid-19 might be imminent. Soon, maybe all of us can just swab our own throats and find out if we’re infected.

Test Everyone for Coronavirus? We’re Not There Yet
By Mary Duenwald (Bloomberg Opinion) — The White House is investigating “self-swab” coronavirus tests, President Trump said Wednesday, implying that a do-it-yourself test for Covid-19 might be imminent. Soon, maybe all of us can just swab our own throats and find out if we’re infected. That might seem like good news, for everyone knows testing has been a weak spot in the American response to the pandemic.
For a Good Time, Well, Don't Call Dad
Dec. 2, 2003 Sir Walter Scott was an author, not an evolutionary theorist. He wrote his poems and historical novels 40 years before Charles Darwin described the process of evolution -- and well over a century before scientists began in earnest to apply principles of natural selection to the study of human nature. Yet Scott, a 19th-century writer, apparently shared with modern evolutionary scientists the general notion that men tend to follow two basic mating strategies.

Why that sugary soda is worse than that sweet orange
Humanity has a love-hate relationship with sugar: It’s a treat reserved for the end of a good meal, a focal point for holidays, even a term of endearment. But sugar is an enemy, too, long disparaged as empty calories that cause tooth decay and weight gain. In recent decades, sugar’s bad image has grown much worse. For many, it’s displaced fat and starch at the top of the list of dietary bogeymen.

The Land and Words of Mary Oliver, the Bard of Provincetown
Ms. Cook was drawn to Provincetown, where she ran a gallery and later opened a bookstore, and once Ms. Oliver was there with her, “I too fell in love with the town,” she recalled, “that marvelous convergence of land and water; Mediterranean light; fishermen who made their living by hard and difficult work from frighteningly small boats; and, both residents and sometime visitors, the many artists and writers. ...

Many health experts think the most dangerous thing most of us do every day is sit down. Like smoking, they believe, prolonged sitting is deleterious, and not something that can be balanced out by vigorous exercise when sitting time is done. Dozens of studies have drawn connections between sitting too long and diabetes, hypertension, some forms of cancer (especially in women), anxiety and a generally greater probability of early death. There’s also the risk of a weak, flat backside.
Commentary: The way to strengthen ties with Asia is to pass TPP | News | American Shipper
Commentary: The way to strengthen ties with Asia is to pass TPP The economic case for the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership is convincing, and in Southeast Asia, the strategic costs of not approving it are high, and rising fast, according to Bloomberg columnists Nisid Hajari and Mary Duenwald.
Our Two-Part Winter
As the snow piles up toward record heights in Boston, San Francisco is going through an extraordinary dry spell -- this was the first January in 165 years in which the city recorded no rain at all. As another snowstorm keeps schoolkids home in the Southeast, flowers are blossoming in the Pacific Northwest, where temperatures in February have been above 60 degrees. Yet this is not as contradictory as it sounds -- just the opposite.
Duenwald: Earthquakes in the heartland
Not so many years ago, earthquake science was no more relevant to Oklahoma than marine biology. But these days the state is shaking way more often than California, and giving many people there an unwanted crash course in seismology. Last year, Oklahoma had 585 earthquakes with a magnitude 3.0 or greater (big enough for people to easily feel) — almost three times as many as California had and up from an average of just two a year before 2009.
Why fracking increases earthquake risk in the heartland: Bloomberg opinion

Fracking Is Shaking Oklahoma

Beware of Big Marijuana
In Colorado, the worst surprises so far from the newborn recreational marijuana business have come from edibles -- those brownies, cookies, sodas and other sweet treats that have incapacitated big-name journalists and caused an uptick in emergency-room visits by adults and children alike. Colorado is responding with mandatory testing for THC, marijuana's psychoactive ingredient, and a limit of 100 milligrams in any edible product. Is this enough?
Want Cheaper Gas? Lift the U.S. Oil Export Ban
As crude oil production surges in the U.S., the question has gained urgency: Should the government lift a 40-year-old ban and allow some of this bounty to be exported? And the answer is a clear "Yes" -- then the oil business could boom to its full potential, with all the job creation and economic stimulus that entails.
