The International Energy Agency recently reported that shifting to clean energy will create between 13 and 26 million jobs by 2030. They present this as a benefit, but that’s misleading; jobs are not a benefit but a cost.That might sound counterintuitive, but it’s easy to understand. Say you need to do repairs on your home, and you can’t or don’t want to do them yourself. That means you have to pay for both materials and labor. But imagine that the materials would magically assemble themselves into the needed repair work all on their own. Then you would only have to...

Scientists have revealed new ways of calculating older mums' personal risk of serious pregnancy problems like having stillborn, premature, or very small babies. The scientists and research midwives at Saint Mary's Hospital compared demographic and medical data with blood samples taken at 28 and 36 weeks of pregnancy. They matched samples from older and younger mothers with similar characteristics to look for any impact of their age, as well as comparing samples from older mothers with different pregnancy outcomes. The pregnancy outcomes included stillbirth, premature birth, babies admitted to neonatal intensive care, and babies born very small or with low...

Islamabad apparently bought peace with the TLP. As in its frequent mobilisations over the last few years, the TLP has once again forced the Pakistani state onto the backfoot and enhanced its own political clout. A relatively new phenomenon, the TLP, was founded in 2015 by Khadim Hussain Rizvi, a firebrand cleric who died in November 2020. It now has a strong following among Pakistan’s Barelvi sect. At the heart of TLP’s ideology is the protection of the Prophet’s honour and a vigorous defence of Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws. In Pakistan, anyone deemed to have insulted Islam or the Prophet...

The cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) rate is increased after Ad26.COV2.S vaccination compared with the prepandemic rate, according to a research letter published online Nov. 1 in JAMA Internal Medicine. Aneel A. Ashrani, M.D., from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, and colleagues compared age- and sex-specific CVST rates after Ad26.COV2.S vaccination to the prepandemic rate. All incident cases of CVST in Olmsted County, Minnesota, were identified from Jan. 1, 2001, through Dec. 31, 2015. Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System from Feb. 28, 2021, to May 7, 2021, were used...

It may come a day late for Halloween, but to paraphrase the classic horror film Black Christmas, Joe Biden’s confidence-crisis cascade call is coming from the Democratic house. Not only has Biden’s job approval rapidly eroded with the general electorate, even his own voters now have second thoughts about keeping him around. A new Marist poll shows that only a third of Democrats want Biden to run for re-election in 2024 — hardly a vote of confidence: President Joe Biden’s approval rating is upside down. 44% of Americans approve of the job he is doing as president, and 49% disapprove....

[H/T Uttar Pradesh]Uttar Pradesh might sound obscure to most Americans, but it is the most populated state in India, with urban areas that rival the most densely populated cities in the U.S. Yet, miraculously, despite housing a population of 240 million people, this northern state has been averaging only 24 cases and 0-2 deaths per day in recent months. Despite its size — roughly 73% of the U.S. population — it ranked dead last in cases per capita last week among India's 36 states. What gives?The answer likely lies in the 10-letter "I-word" that you are not allowed to mention...

Chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are inflammations of the gastrointestinal tract which flare up in phases and are accompanied by bloody bowel movements, diarrhea and severe impairment of the quality of life. IBD patients exhibit an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer. This is facilitated by the fact that DNA in the intestinal mucosa cells (intestinal epithelium) is damaged by chronic inflammatory processes. Upon DNA damage, a cell in a healthy state protects itself from accumulation of a defective genome by not dividing further. However, these protective mechanisms are suspended under inflammatory conditions, which promotes the development of bowel cancer....

Hey I'm trying to find out what commands to use in Linux Mint to find out what the wi-fi and network mac address is? Anyone know? I'm an old WinXP user,,,

Ten days ago, a New York judge revealed the full prosecution filings in a multi-state antitrust lawsuit against Google – one of many against the company, and of many more against the ad tech giants. There's too much to digest in a handful of days, and early headlines have concentrated on the claims that Google and Facebook colluded in a cabal to deflect legislation, bypass privacy technology, and share the spoils. There are lots of specific allegations about other misdeeds; this is just the hors d'oeuvre. Are these just allegations concocted by whistleblowers, and competitors tired of losing in a...

An investigation into Domingo was launched after he posted on online forums expressing “support for violence, specifically a desire to seek violent retribution for attacks against Muslims, as well as a willingness to become a martyr,” After “considering various attacks,” Domingo decided to bomb a white supremacist rally on April 26, 2019, as retribution for the New Zealand mosque shootings that left 51 people dead weeks earlier, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. As part of the plot, he asked a confederate – who was actually working with the FBI as part of the investigation – to invite a bomb-maker into...

Part 1 of 3: The domestic war on terror is here. Tucker explores how the Biden regime is using the Capitol riots on January sixth to paint Americans as terrorists. But what exactly happened on 1/6 and how much of what we're told was a lie?

ROME—U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday urged major Group of 20 (G-20) energy producing countries with spare capacity to boost production to ensure a stronger global economic recovery as part of a broad effort to pressure OPEC and its partners to increase oil supply. With oil and gas prices surging, some energy-producing countries such as Russia and Saudi Arabia have not boosted output enough to satisfy countries that are largely energy consumers and worry about energy shortages and inflation. French President Emmanuel Macron echoed those concerns in an interview with the Financial Times, urging the summit to push for better...

I humbly request prayers for my family due to the death of my cousin. I just found out about his death a few minutes ago, so I am still in shock. His name is Goywda. I know, it’s a strange name. Thank you for the prayers. I hate to bother anyone, but the family needs prayers. Several years ago, his brother died suddenly and now his sister Glenda is the only survivor in their immediate family. Thanks in advance.

Bishop José Ignacio Munilla of San Sebastián, Spain, harshly criticized President Joe Biden’ claim that Pope Francis personally encouraged him to continue receiving Communion despite his open support for abortion. "These incredible statements reveal the moral character of those who are capable of compromising and manipulating the Pope with the intention of washing their conscience stained by the blood of so many innocent lives unjustly eliminated," Bishop Munilla said in an Oct. 30 tweet. On Oct. 29, Pope Francis received Biden in the Vatican for 75 minutes. The U.S. president told Reuters that Pope Francis told him “to keep receiving...

Churchgoers had just come out of Sunday morning mass, where they learned their pastor had been arrested. "I hope it's not true because nothing like that should be happening," said Marie Herd of Tobyhanna. Arrest papers show that Pastor Gregory Loughney thought he had been communicating online with a 15-year-old boy that he met on Tinder. He allegedly arranged to meet with the teen...

Earlier, Welby warned that the outcome of the COP26 climate summit will be “life or death for millions of people."The Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby told BBC journalist Laura Kuenssberg that world leaders will be "cursed" unless they reach an agreement during the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow. Welby also compared the climate crisis to warnings about the Nazis before World War Two. Kuenssberg posted some details of their conversation on Twitter.
