Combining zirconium with silicon nitride improves the transformation of propane, a component of natural gas, into polypropylene, a highly sought-after plastic. Polypropylene is a widely used plastic found in numerous everyday items, including food containers and medical devices. Due to its popularity, there is an increasing demand for propylene, a chemical essential for its production. Propylene is derived from propane, a natural gas commonly utilized in barbecue grills. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory and Ames National Laboratory report a faster, more energy-efficient way to manufacture propylene than the process currently used. Converting propane into...

This guy Christian explains Harris's word salad "what could be, unburdened by what has been" is like a progressive rallying call - war cry against America. she is not just stupid word salading, as it sounds to many of us, she is evil intended and happily pushing anti American agenda forward. Please check the video he seems informed and explains things well. 12&1/2 minutes. I think it's important to get the word out what she means by what she says. click link above. I'll also post link in comments below.

In my message from last week, titled “So Predictable,” I predicted that although Joe Biden repeatedly vowed, he would never drop out of the presidential race, that he definitely would, eventually. And almost immediately after my message was published or broadcast by all the media outlets that carry it, he did. I knew it was coming, but I didn’t expect it to happen as quickly as it did. And in my last message I predicted he would say his dropping out was “for the good of the party,” “to make sure that Trump would never again sit in the Oval...

Prehistoric humans hunt a woolly mammoth. More and more research shows that this species – and at least 46 other species of megaherbivores – were driven to extinction by humans. Credit: Engraving by Ernest Grise, photographed by William Henry Jackson. Courtesy Getty’s Open Content Program ================================================================== Researchers at Aarhus University have concluded that human hunting, rather than climate change, was the primary factor in the extinction of large mammals over the past 50,000 years. This finding is based on a review of over 300 scientific articles. Over the last 50,000 years, many large species, or megafauna, weighing at least 45...

The combined session of Congress greeted him rapturously. Also, Bibi subtly shivved the Biden/Harris administration in a devastating way for the election. Today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke for almost an hour before a joint session of Congress. I was paying attention so hard to his magnificent speech that I forgot to take notes—and there’s no transcript available yet. These are my impressions of the speech. One. Bibi got one of the most rapturous greetings I’ve ever seen Congress give anyone. The ovation when Bibi walked to the podium and stood there went on so long that Speaker Mike Johnson...

What are the chances there will be another attempt on President Trump’s life in the remaining months before the election? Trump supporters cheered when we saw that the former president had survived the assassination attempt and pumped his fist in defiance and heroic resolve. We mourned the death of Corey Comperatore who died heroically protecting his family from harm, and we prayed for David Dutch and James Copenhaver who were seriously wounded by the assassin’s bullets. In the days afterwards, we’ve been overwhelmed with the tumult surrounding the Secret Service’s epic and compounded failures in securing the rally site and...

The unknown factor is Kamala Harris's primary advantage for now. It doesn’t gloss over that the 2024 Democratic Party ticket is a ratship in total disarray. The unity cited incessantly on MSNBC is a manufactured media narrative where little is grounded in reality. If there is a coalescing around the vice president, these loyal soldiers have no choice but to back her because who else is there? Harris dropped out before the 2020 Iowa Caucuses. No Democratic primary voter has ever voted for her. Again, the lion's share of the party backs her because there is no other choice. Democrats...

In 2024, the median salary for the typical American home buyer has risen to $104,339 - up from $88,000 just two years prior.Despite record-high home prices, housing demand continues to outpace supply, even with mortgage rates at their highest in over a decade. As one bright spot, housing inventory is steadily increasing, with the number of homes for sale up almost 19% in May compared to the previous year. This growth in inventory could help ease the cost of home ownership looking ahead.This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Dorothy Nuefeld, shows the salary needed to buy a home across the 50...

Multiple structure fires have been reported in Jasper as crews work to protect critical infrastructure after a wildfire reached the town late Wednesday. Parks Canada confirmed flames from one of two threatening wildfires were being driven by strong winds and reached the southern edge of the townsite around 6:30 p.m. Some images and video posted to social media show buildings fully engulfed in flames in the south part of town. A last minute effort to try and change the fire’s direction to natural barriers, such as Athabasca River and Highway 16, was not successful. Another blaze is moving in towards...

Nerdy boy names come in all shapes, sizes, and styles and some are definitely cool. There geeky boy names are the clunky, old-school vintage choices that are starting to feel fresh, funky, and daring again, while still being rooted in tradition. Like thick black-rimmed spectacles and heavy oxfords, these nerdy names are so out, they're in, and deserve a spot amongst the other cool boy names. Some of these nerdy names for boys are now heading into the mainstream, like Arthur, Hugo, and Franklin, which all rank in the US Top 500 baby names for boys. Others, like Alfred, Harvey,...

In some good news for nearly half the world's men, scientists have found that a naturally occurring sugar in humans and animals could be harnessed as a topical treatment for male pattern baldness. This discovery could deliver a non-invasive, inexpensive and safer alternative to leading treatment minoxidil. An international team of scientists from the University of Sheffield and COMSATS University Pakistan has found that the organic compound 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) can stimulate new hair growth, following eight years of research into how this deoxy sugar could assist wound healing. The accidental discovery came about when they saw how hair around wound...

An Asian woman’s disturbing description of being randomly attacked by a drug addict outside a Long Island City restaurant has gone viral — as she’s left terrified after the shocking incident. Chinese immigrant Runing Lao, 30, told The Post she’s scared to go back to work since the surprise attack as she left the Chipotle near the corner of Purves Street and Jackson Avenue at about 1 p.m. on July 17. “I was maybe five or 10 steps away from Chipotle … and this woman just starts to beat me for no reason,” Lao, who works in real estate, said...

Right now, the more interesting question is not who’s backing Kamala, but who’s in charge of her. For she is not only wildly unpopular in most polling, but she is also the VP who lost 92% of her staff in her first three years in that office. We can surmise that Kamala needs a lot of forceful “direction” from Obama’s stick-it-to-them backroom boys and girls. The MSM is already telling us, as they will do, that we cannot criticize Kamala—full stop. DEI is in full control of the dialogue, with Kamala’s awkwardly giddy arrival on the present stage. With Her...

CHICAGO — Police are investigating five robberies, some of which turned violent, that were reported early Tuesday morning in the Loop, Lincoln Park, and Lakeview. There are indications that the same people may have committed some of the crimes. In one incident, a 22-year-old woman was pepper sprayed and robbed near the Lincoln Park Zoo around 12:15 a.m. She was near the intersection of Fullerton and Cannon Drive when a man sprayed her and took her phone, according to initial information. EMS took her to St. Joseph Hospital for treatment. The other four robberies, all similar in nature, occurred within...

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of the accompanying video from professor Peter St. Onge. Big Tech is slashing jobs—half a million and counting. And it’s blaming artificial intelligence. A new study by Layoffs.fyi reports that layoffs in the tech industry have exceeded 100,000 so far this year —and keep in mind that the year’s only half over. That’s on top of 212,000 tech layoffs last year. And 165,000 in 2022. Recent layoffs include Microsoft and Facebook, which each cut 10,000 jobs. Cisco dropped 4,000, Intuit 1,800. Even Amazon and Apple are laying off. Part of this is...

Probably very few readers here are old enough to remember China’s “Great Leap Forward.” You’d have to be my age (73 - born in 1950), or close to it, to remember the GLF from reading about it at the time. The name “Great Leap Forward” refers to Mao Zedong’s second Five Year Plan, launched in 1958, and intended to catapult China’s economy from backwardness into modernity. This was to be not just any old central planning project, but a whole new approach designed by the really smart people to correct the mistakes and failures that the Soviet Union had encountered...
