LIVE & LOVE THE NEW ABNORMAL
WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said last Friday that because of COVID-19, “We will not, we cannot go back to the way things were.” Commenting on the potential for a successful vaccine, Ghebreyesus declared that while a vaccine will be a “vital tool,” even if scientists are able to develop one, it still won’t end...

NEW ZEALAND GOES NUTZ
As we have noted since the launch of the COVID War, the mainstream media used it to sell Fear and Hysteria to boost dreadfully sagging ratings and power-hungry politicians seized on it to take more control. (See our 5 May article, “CNN, HOW LOW CAN YOU GO?”) And, as we have been reporting, with COVID...

It’s a basic principle of science that heat travels toward cold. So the researchers made a panel lined with tubes of chilled water...

ELECTRIC BRICKS
Bricks – the red rectangles that buildings were made from a hundred years ago – could someday be the battery that powers your house. At Washington University, researchers were looking for energy storage materials that could replace lithium, which is temperamental and can be expensive. The group was testing rust, which gives bricks their signature...

ANOTHER STEP TOWARD MAKING A WORKING BRAIN
Brain cells, or neurons, communicate by exchanging biochemicals and electrical signals across a synapse – a tiny gap between neurons. Now Stanford University scientists have built their own synapses that can communicate with living neurons, using the same molecules as the human brain. The manmade version uses two soft polymer electrodes separated by a trough...

GLOBAL ECONOMIC TRENDS
CENTRAL BANK MULLS MORE STIMULUS. It comes as no surprise. Despite Eurozone governments soon ending stimulus and employment support programs, the European Central Bank (ECB) will inject more monetary methadone into the 19-nation union’s economy as unemployment rises and more companies face bankruptcy. At their mid-July meeting, bank officials debated whether they would need to...
