This article describes a mixed-race political figure, basically a professional activist, who projected a benevolent exterior, yet brought destruction in his wake. Count Richard Nikolaus Eijiro von Coudenhove-Kalergi is today an obscure political figure, though in his time he was kind of a minor celebrity, and began the concept leading to the European Union. His father descended from Byzantine nobility, and also with ancestry from lineages all over Europe. This citizen of the world was a diplomat and married a Japanese woman whose parents were quite displeased, throwing her out of the family. Richard was born in 1894, the second...

When you live in a country as seismically active as Japan, thinking about earthquakes (and tsumanis) probably occupies a good deal of your time. Inventor Shoichi Sakamoto took it a step further. He decided to do something about it and invented a technology, remarkably simple in concept, to protect homes from the devastating shaking - an airlift system capable of automatically raising and isolating the whole house until the temblor stops.

Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, is one of the medical treatments that show great promise. Back in the 1970’s, skin stem cells were used to grow skin grafts for people with serious burns and today stem cell therapy is used to repair damaged or diseased tissue almost anywhere on the body. Furthermore, this therapy, which is widely considered as a new frontier in transplantation, could be used in the treatment of strokes, a wide range of neurological problems (including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease), spinal cord injuries, keloid scars, pancreatic necrosis, diabetes types I and II, as well...

When you homeschool, how do you break up the work? Do you study the entire years of math, for example before moving onto another topic, or do you spend an hour a day per topic until you've completed a normal day or do you follow the school schedule? I'm just curious. I don't have plans to homeschool anybody.

Every species would have a limit in its ability to develop their societies. Humans are not exempt from this, even if we are the most capable species. Part of my question is in regards to the motivation of the left and their desire to devolve society. One of the main desires of the left is to be an elitest. However, for that to happen, they have to stay ahead of the game. How does the left stay ahead if we have mostly maxxed out the sciences and math and engineering and education? What should happen, as we do approach our...

The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organisation officially named the novel coronavirus disease as Covid-19. So with this being the official truth, why does United States Government data show that the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) awarded a contract on the 12th November 2019 to Labyrinth Global Health INC. for ‘COVID-19 Research’, at...

Top military officials in France have warned that French President Emmanuel Macron faces arrest unless order is restored to the country imminently. According to several senior officers, the French army are prepared to temporarily seize control of the government and detain the Young Global Leader over his deliberate failure to maintain law and order in France.

The money will be allocated from Spain’s share of the European Union’s Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, a fund centred on post-Covid recovery in the bloc. The idea, which has been discussed in industry circles since the 1970s, is to connect Spain and Morocco via an underwater rail tunnel. The project was formalised in the 1980s but suffered many setbacks and was officially dropped in 2009 in the wake of the global financial crash. However, strong signals from governments on both sides of the Gibraltar Straight in 2023 have reignited the discussion. In April, at the first meeting between Spanish...

Despite its many advantages, glass has one major Achilles' heel – it’s brittle. Now, engineers at Penn State have developed LionGlass, a new type of the material that’s not only 10 times more damage resistant, but requires significantly less energy to manufacture. The most commonly used form of glass, which you’ll find in everything from windows to drinking glasses, is technically known as soda lime silicate glass. Manufacturing this common material requires furnaces that get up to 1,500 °C (2,732 °F), which of course consumes a lot of energy and releases a huge amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere....

Just watch the post. It is sickening.

#Pakistan is in hock to the #IMF, the World Bank, #China, and others. Meanwhile, the military watches events closely, with many fearing another #coup.

There is a belief in Judaism that the spirit of Esau resides in Western culture. They believe that the heir to the Edomites was Rome. The heir to Rome was Western Europe and the heir to Western Europe was the United States. Consequently, they believe that the West must be subjugated in order to be ruled by them, just as the Bible foretells that the descendants of Esau would be ruled by the descendants of Jacob.

I am having an arguement on a sub-quora transexual thread about fathers going on dates with children. My position is that it is healthy for fathers to have as much contact with their daughters as possible and even simulate how she should expect to be treated. I'm assuming, of course, that the affection is non-sexual. But these people, who all universally oppose me on principle, state that fathers should date their daughters because it's automatically sexual in nature. I tell them that is their interpretation that is coming from their hearts that any and all affection is sexual, because they...

Q: Liberals have succeeded in banning the King James Bible in Utah, which states will Liberals ban the Bible in next? Will Utah also ban the Torah and Quran? A: The problem is that Republicans suck at analysing the consequence of their actions. They make a law thinking “hah! that will show the libs!”, not thinking that the same law could be used against them. And when it inevitably is used against them, they cry about the evil Libs. The Utah law allows for banning indecent books from school libraries, if the book fulfills certain criteria. Since no legislator can...

I was just reading a prank letter about an arborist that cultivated a bunch of giant sequoias in order to take revenge upon a city. So, it got me to ask. Are we allowed to cut down giant sequoias, if somebody planted one in yard? It would grow like bamboo, so you probably have to do it quickly to avoid a disaster. But I'm just wondering if you would be allowed to chop it down because you didn't plant it and it wasn't natural.

Revelations 3:9 9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

She plans on throwing parents, who are opposed to transgendering their kids into jail.

Just a question of curiousity. I understand, from the intents of the Founding Fathers that this should be impossible due to dual loyalties, but is there anything stopping a natural born US citizen from becoming Prime Minister of Canada and then coming back and becoming President of the United States?

Chinese battery maker CATL says it has cutting-edge technology able to surpass limits that have held back battery development worldwide, ushering in a new era of electrification for passenger aircraft. These are bold claims that, if they come to fruition, will shake up battery technology as we know it. Battery density signifies a key metric in creating a lithium-ion battery that’s both powerful and light enough for versatile applications, such as an aircraft. Current understanding of technology has the densest lithium-ion batteries generally hovering below 300 Watt hours per kilogram (Wh/kg), but CATL says their new battery boasts a 500...
