* The global warming scare is being used as a front for wealth redistribution* Politicians of all stripes and in all Western countries have been obediently parroting the official IPCC line that Climate Change science knows best and that we must prepare for the worst. But as COP27 in Sharm El-Sheikh (I refer to it as Sham in Chief) comes to an end (November 18), it’s worth noting that it was a cloaking device for the real agenda. As long ago as November 2010, Ottmar Edenhofer, then co-chair of IPCC Working Group III, openly admitted what that agenda is. He is quoted by the Neue Zü... read more

800,000 Neurons in a Dish Learned to Play Pong in Just Five Minutes
Neurons are certainly in the business of sharing information with each other and likely a great deal of information. such as which molecule to engage in order to produce a reaction. this happens and it can not be very random at all. So yes a glob of neurons must be able to self assmble a working network able to respond to stimuli. It is all what we sort of need. Our problem is mostly not enough imagination to see just how profound this all is. Neurons facilitate cellular comms.

These battery driven systems are still time limited and need to be rationed. If in a cold house, a stack of wool blankets is pretty flexible. Let us hope that we can get through all this.

The Science of Survival: Wool Blankets
This is well worth a revisit as we all know that wool is the go to for rough conditions. This is no small thing either as anyone who has ever worn a WWI British combat uniform. Those boys had to survive steady rain and wet mud. That means sleeping as well. You only wear a pair of jeans into a dew moistened field once and quicky switch out of all that.

Do you might have what it takes – financially – to be a enterprise pioneer? Being a pioneer means not simply starting a brand new company but in addition introducing a model new idea.

* The systemic racism of the teachers' unions* Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that could reverse the 2003 Grutter v.
