Day 12 cont 💰🧧🇨🇳

The #Liberals have a candidate problem continued:

“Liberal #candidate #ScottYung and party officials have declined to answer detailed #questions about whether his use of #Chinese celebrities and a public relations firm in the 2019 #StateElection complied with official #guidelines, as the Liberal party confirms an #audit of campaign disclosures.

A private dinner at a “luxurious venue” in #Sydney to raise #CampaignFunds for Yung, featuring the former Liberal prime minister #TonyAbbott, has also been cancelled without explanation.”

“Wishing the talented young Chinese Mr #RongSicheng [Scott Yung] has great success ahead and a boundless future! All the best! I’m #ZhangTielin from #Beijing, #China.”

The cursed Liberal Christian name “Scott” strikes again.

Bodega Cats Make New Yorkers' Hearts Purr - too bad that they can get the owners fined! 13 pictures, too~ Marsh-mellow is pictured twice(!) super cute #BodegaCats Some of the pics are of cats in hardware or weed stores, where they are legal; it's where food is sold that they don't belong.

Ich bekomme da so dunkle Erinnerungen
[Microsoft Tay](wiki.adminforge.de/wiki/Tay_(c) eine frühe #KI welche ungefiltert auf #Twitter / #X losgelassen und rapide schnell hochgradig menschenverachtend wurde.
Der Weg zu vorgegebenen #Guidelines ist da nicht mehr weit. So könnte #GenerativeAi schnell zu einem Propagandaselbstläufer werden.
Auch eine gezielte Diskriminierung oder Verfolgung ist bei den Aussagen Trumps im Denkbaren.

There are no binding #international rules governing the management and prevention of the growth of debris in space 🌌. Space-faring countries have established #guidelines, but they are not sufficient to guarantee a #sustainable space environment. internationalinsurance.org/ins

****What is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?

Metabarcoding and MetagenomicsWhat is eDNA method standardisation and why do we need it?The rapid advancement of environmental DNA (eDNA) science in the past two decades has inspired a concomitant growth in the development of eDNA sampling and analytical methods. However, these methods are often developed by individual laboratories or institutions, which can isolate protocols within programmes, agencies or regions and prevent the beneficial exchange of data and ideas. Recent efforts to advance national and international coordination have resulted in a groundswell of standardisation efforts, but there is still considerable confusion around the role of formal standards for regulatory or research applications. With this commentary, we hope to provide clarity on the terminology used in standardisation discussions, including the differences between formal standards and best practice guidelines. Additionally, we discuss how eDNA method choice may be informed by environmental management scenarios and review examples of formal eDNA method standards being used to inform management action. The eDNA community now has an opportunity to develop a roadmap for method development to help close standardisation gaps, advance eDNA method adoption and accelerate our ability to monitor biological life at the scales our current environmental challenges demand.
