De-risking : alternative stratégique ou multiplication de risques ?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:21:59 GMT

En moins de deux mois, le mot « de-risking » est devenu viral dans la sphère géopolitique. Passé de l’anonymat à l’omniprésence, et approuvé lors d’un sommet du G7, il est considéré comme une inflexion majeure dans la manière dont l’Europe définit les défis posés par la Chine. Un débat qui est pourtant loin de faire consensus - écrit Yi Da (Observateur des relations internationales et sino-européennes)Pour y voir clair, il est essentiel de comprendre l’enjeu qui sous-tend ce nouveau terme et d’en avoir une vision juste.Le spectre de la méfiance derrière le « de-risking »Quand on parle de « de-risking », on fait a priori allusion à la dépendance économique de l’Europe par rapport à la Chine, une situation préoccupante aux yeux des Européens, qui s’engagent désormais à rendre leurs chaînes d’approvisionnement plus résilientes. Un choix bien compréhensible, mais à relativiser tout de même.En effet, un rapport européen montre que moins de 1% des importations européen...

Johanna Samuels Digs Elliott Smith

Elliott SmithFigure 8 (DreamWorks)Johanna Samuels Digs Elliott Smith: L.A.’s Johanna Samuels told us about her love for an Elliott Smith gem.(DreamWorks)Johanna Samuels: The task of picking only one album felt impossible. I refrained from choosing any Beatles records as they should go without saying. I have probably 15 ever-changing favorite records. Joni Mitchell’s Ladies of the Canyon and Blue, Marvin Gaye’s What’s Going On, The Beach Boys’ Surf’s Up and Bob Dylan’s Blood on the Tracks are big ones for me. I chose to write about Figure 8 by Elliott Smith. While it’s very much an artifact of the 2000’s, I find it stands the test of time. It changed my life upon first listening to it in its entirety at the age of 14 (at a headphone listening station in Blockbuster Music). This was my introduction to Elliott’s music. The record has continued to see me through life’s expansions and contractions, shedding light, levity and musical inspiration for me in every chapter. ...

THC vs HHC: Understanding the Key Differences and Potential Benefits of These Cannabinoids

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:21:59 GMT

In the ever-evolving world of cannabinoids, two particular compounds that continue to gain more and more interest are delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and hexahydrocannabinol (HHC). These cannabinoids share some similarities, but they also have very unique features that distinctly influence their effects and potential benefits.Let’s take a closer look at the differences between THC and HHC, from where they come from to how they could make you feel.Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)Long recognized as the primary psychoactive component of the cannabis plant and closely associated with marijuana, delta-9-THC is no stranger to the cannabinoid family. THC interacts directly with the body’s endocannabinoid system (ECS), primarily binding with the CB1 receptors in the brain. This interaction can result in the classic ‘high’ associated with cannabis consumption, usually characterized by feelings of euphoria and sometimes sensory amplification.The effects of THC aren’t so...

Can raccoons be stopped from befouling Livermore yard with stinky poo?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:21:59 GMT

DEAR JOAN: How do I get the raccoons to stop using my yard as their latrine?— Annie, LivermoreDEAR ANNIE: Have you tried asking nicely and posting “do not poo here” signs? Just kidding. Raccoons have no manners and can’t read, so we have to be much more blunt.Raccoons are fond of using the same spot for their daily toilet rituals. The latrines not only keep their foul deposits in a central location, they also can warn other animals that this here is raccoon country.Various products on the market can make raccoons reconsider where they build their latrines, but you’ll need to combine them with other efforts, including making your yard less attractive to the animals. Removing thick undergrowth and sealing off access to the area under your deck, outdoor sheds and the attic means fewer raccoon hangouts.For the actual latrine, gear up in a long-sleeve shirt, long pants, gloves and face mask, then clean any poo deposits, which can be fairly toxic. Sprinkle the commercial produ...

TasteFood: Your barbecued ribs deserve a rub

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:21:59 GMT

Kick off summer with these dry-rubbed baby back pork ribs. The key to this recipe is a heady rub that does not skimp in the flavor department. It’s an evolution of a dry spice rub I was inspired by years ago at the now-closed East Coast Grill in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The chef, Chris Schlesinger, devised this mouth-tingling blend for his baby back pork ribs, which packed a whammy of flavor and officially kickstarted my passion for barbecue ribs.The key to the rub is heaps of salt and sugar along with an abundance of dried spice that leaves enough wiggle room to tinker with flavor. The sugar and salt ensure crispy, succulent ribs that are wildly crave-worthy, and the flavors tip to the Southwest with the addition of cumin, paprika and cayenne. In the restaurant, a sauce was always served on the side, but it’s the rub that stands out in my memory, since I prefer my ribs crispy and not overly sauced. Since then and over the years, I’ve replicated this rub in variou...
