the next chapter is to define herself as “Greg Thunberg”

No no.

The ‘Greg Thunberg stage’ is after the coming out as lesbian/playing ALFW/demanding the same income as Brownlow Medal winners/where’s my statue/turkey baster baby but no way I’m carrying it/emotional trauma/now I’m a Labor staffer phase.

Another Sheep Shagger from the C U in N T.

Ah, no.

Born in 1933, William George Hayden was brought up in working class Brisbane.

He left school at 16 and worked as a public servant, then a police officer, while completing an economics degree part-time.

He entered federal parliament in 1961.

So, no. Woddles, the bovver boy ponzi salesman, no.

As a political leader he [Albo] has his merits, but command of crucial detail is not yet one of them.

I’d be interested in having those merits spelt out for me one day. Just the last in a series of particularly weak PMs as far as I’m concerned – with no end in sight.

If you’re indeed scamming, you aren’t just doing it here, but also at other sites and they will find out. They’ll also find out if you’re being paid scam fees, you revolting lowlife pos.

When I read that, the first thought that came to me was an article that Pirate Pete wrote awhile ago about playing chess with Pirate Junior and the kid bursting into tears because he was black, and that reminded him of the poor Abos and how they were treated.

Is there a road to Peace?

1. Kill the Hamas leadership.
2. Liberate Gaza.
3. Gazans grudgingly get along with Israel like the West Bank Palis do.

Surprisingly, that was basically the take-away from Palstinian Ghaith al-Omari, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and a former official of the Palestinian Authority, interviewed on ABC RN this morning.

Hamas is intolerable & should be “dislodged” from Gaza, after which an international trusteeship should be established, led by the West but including Arab partners such as Egypt but not China, Russia, Turkey or Qatar, and definitely not the PA which Gazans don’t trust, to rebuild and deradicalise the local population.

I am into around my 30th Netflix Korean Series and probably one of the best, up there with “Amazing Attorney Woo” & “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim”, is the Series I have just finished watching covering Acupuncture

The Series – Live Up to Your Name

Korean No. of episodes 16

Live Up to Your Name (Korean: ????) is a 2017 historical time travel South Korean television series. It brings Heo Im (a medical scientist from the Joseon Dynasty portrayed by Kim Nam-gil) to present day Seoul, where he meets the surgeon, Choi Yeon-kyung (Kim Ah-joong). The series marks Kim Nam-gil’s small screen comeback after four years. It aired on tvN from August 12 to October 1, 2017.]

Its final episode recorded a 6.907% nationwide audience share according to Nielsen paid platform, making the episode one of the highest rated in Korean cable television history.

Synopsis

Heo Im (Kim Nam-gil) is a Joseon doctor of Traditional Korean medicine, specializing in acupuncture. He worked at the clinic for the poor during daytime and earned a fortune by making secret visits to nobles and high-ranking officials’ houses at night. After gaining notoriety for his great skills, he was tasked to help treat the king’s migraines. Unfortunately, his anxiety got the best of him and he was charged with treason. Unwilling to accept jail, he escaped capture but was chased by soldiers. He was eventually cornered into a river and fatally shot by arrows and fell to his supposed death.

Death never came and he awakened in modern Seoul-Korea and realizes he has somehow time traveled. Dazed, lost and confused, he runs into Choi Yeon-kyung (Kim Ah-joong), a cardiothoracic fellow surgeon at Shinhae Hospital and began an unlikely relationship between time and space.

This was published 16 years ago

Rudd’s strip club visit
August 19, 2007 — 7.39pm

Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd has admitted visiting a New York strip club during a drunken night while representing Australia at the United Nations.

Mr Rudd issued a statement yesterday to News Limited papers, confirming he went to the club but could not recall the events of the evening because he “had too much to drink”.

“If my behaviour caused any offence to anybody whatsoever that evening I, of course, wholeheartedly apologise,” he said.

Mr Rudd was in New York representing Australia at the UN.

New York Post editor Col Allan and Northern Territory Labor MP Warren Snowdon accompanied the ALP leader to a Manhattan “gentlemen’s club”, Scores, in September 2003, News Ltd papers reported today.

At the time, Mr Rudd was the shadow foreign affairs minister and travelled to New York at taxpayers’ expense.

SUE REID: Never again, the world said. But this week a synagogue in Berlin was firebombed and the Star of David daubed on Jewish homes

This week, the mob came for Germany’s Jews.

Wearing masks, they crept on foot through the deserted streets at dawn to hurl Molotov cocktails at a Berlin synagogue and daub the Star of David on the front door of a family who worship there.

On Thursday night, standing outside the synagogue where he is chairman, Pasha Lyubarsky asked me sadly: ‘How could this happen in Germany after the Holocaust?’

Two police officers now stand guard 24 hours a day beside the barricaded building, which also houses a school and kindergarten. Of course, the attack had appalling echoes of when Germany’s Jews were systematically persecuted in the run-up to, and then during, World War II.

On one infamous night in 1938, a year before war began, Hitler’s henchmen launched a ferocious assault on Germany’s Jews in Berlin and other cities. Synagogues were set on fire and the windows of Jewish homes and shops were smashed. Many had been daubed with the Star of David beforehand to mark them out for attack.

In the week after ‘Kristallnacht’ (Night of Broken Glass), 30,000 Jewish men were sent to concentration camps.

OCT 20, 2023 5:00 PM BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

From the article:

A Yazidi girl abducted by the Islamic State when she was only 12 described how the Jihadist who raped her explained to her that because she “practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it”. He “bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her. When it was over, he knelt to pray again”. The girl begged him to stop, but he “said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to Allah.”

Confidence in US media hits record low – poll

Less than a third of Americans say they trust the media to report the news fully and accurately

Only 32% of Americans trust the media to report the news fairly and accurately, while a record 39% do not trust the media at all, according to a Gallup poll published Friday.

The share of Americans who expressed some amount of trust in the media matches the record low the pollster recorded in 2016, while the previous record for total distrust was 38%.

Even Democrats, who tend to have more confidence in the media than Republicans, have lost faith in the news over the last year to a significant degree – just 58% expressed some level of trust. This is a 12-point decline from 2022’s figures, attributed the diminishing trust among younger Democrats.

Only 11% of Republicans reported some confidence in the media establishment, according to Friday’s poll. However, the 47-point gap between respondents from the two major US political parties is the narrowest recorded since 2016, when Republicans’ trust in the establishment had fallen dramatically.

The survey sampled 1,016 Americans during the first two weeks of September. It is only the second time since Gallup began asking the question in 1972 that more Americans professed no confidence at all in the media than those who claimed to have a great deal or fair amount of trust.

IEA: World’s electric grids incapable of supporting renewable energy goals

Comment: Ya think?

While investments in renewable energy have doubled since 2010, power grid funding has remained ‘static.’

Electricity grid capacity available in the world isn’t keeping pace with the rapid growth of “clean energy” technologies, possibly putting governments’ climate goals at risk, according to a recent report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

In order to achieve climate goals set by global governments, more than 80 million kilometers (49.7 million miles) of electric grids have to be added or refurbished by 2040, which is the “equivalent of the entire existing global grid,” according to the Oct. 17 IEA report.

Even though “electrification and renewables deployment are both picking up pace,” there is a risk of the clean energy transition stalling due to a lack of “adequate grids to connect the new electricity supply with the demand.”

“At least 3,000 gigawatts (GW) of renewable power projects, of which 1,500 GW are in advanced stages, are waiting in grid connection queues — equivalent to five times the amount of solar PV and wind capacity added in 2022,” the report noted.

“This shows grids are becoming a bottleneck for transitions to net zero emissions.”

While investments in renewable energy such as solar and wind power, electric vehicles (EV), and heat pumps have been “increasing rapidly” — almost doubling since 2010 — the investment in power grids has remained “static” at around $300 billion annually, it said.

The 2015 Paris Climate Accords agreed to hold the global increase in average temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Delays in establishing the necessary power grid could put this target “out of reach,” the report stated.

While the IEA report proposes boosting the power grid infrastructure to accomplish the transition to green energy, such transitioning attempts could endanger the reliability of the grid.

In the United States, many electricity operators have taken a stance against stringent greenhouse gas emission rules being imposed on the power generation sector by the Biden administration in its attempt to push renewable energy.

In an Aug. 8 statement, a group of Independent Systems Operators and Regional Transmission Organizations warned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the agency’s proposed emission regulations on the power sector “have the potential to materially and adversely impact electric reliability.”

A host of CO2 emissions rules and decades of efforts to limit fossil fuels have resulted in the retirement of coal and gas power plants at a pace faster than the installation of solar and wind facilities, it said.

Since wind and solar are weather-dependent, there’s a lack of reliable backup sources, raising concerns about potential power shortages, the group stated.

Terrorist attack in UK linked to Gaza

Asylum seeker suspect arrested as fears grow over safety of weekend protests

An asylum seeker bent on avenging deaths in Gaza has carried out a suspected terrorist attack in Britain, The Telegraph can disclose.

The public has not been told that the man, who came to the UK in 2020, told police he had done it for “Palestine”.

MPs said on Friday night that the public had a right to know, amid warnings that demonstrations this weekend could encourage so-called lone-wolf terrorist attacks.

The world is on high alert for such attacks after the United States issued a “worldwide caution” to its citizens to be extra vigilant wherever they live.

Meanwhile, the BBC finally bowed to criticism of its refusal to call Hamas terrorists, saying it would no longer refer to them as militants by default and would instead call Hamas a group “proscribed as a terror organisation by the UK Government and others”.

News of the Gaza-linked alleged terror attack in the UK comes after Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, said he was concerned that disgruntled individuals might feel they “get permission” from big demonstrations to turn to violence.

He said: “I am worried about the cork coming out of the bottle and some lone individual saying: ‘Right, now it’s time to act.’”

Suspect in custody

The Telegraph has discovered that just such an alleged attack has already taken place.

The details that can be reported are highly restricted for legal reasons, but the suspect – who is now in custody – said after his arrest that he had done it because Israel had killed children in Gaza.

Senior politicians have questioned why such information has not been made public at a time when the police and security services are on high alert for terrorist attacks motivated by the Israel-Gaza war.

A security source said: “They may be downplaying it so that they don’t have repeat attacks or copycat attacks.”

Earlier this week, it emerged that a Tunisian man who shot dead two Swedish football fans in Brussels had arrived in Europe on a boat that landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa.

The incident has led to political debate in Europe over whether porous borders pose a security risk amid instability in the Middle East.

Ministers in this country also fear a political backlash if the Channel migration crisis undermines security.

The Home Office is planning to send asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing, but the scheme is currently blocked by the courts on human rights grounds.

At the end of June 2023, there were 134,046 asylum applications, relating to 175,457 people, awaiting an initial decision. In the 12 months to June this year, 44,460 people arrived in the UK on small boats.

Sir Iain Duncan Smith, the former leader of the Conservative Party, said: “I think the public does have a right to know that something has happened. If they are worried about reaction, people need to know whether their streets are safe.

“I was shocked by the flag-waving on Saturday. ‘From the river to the sea’ is Hamas’s song for getting rid of the Jews,” he said, referring to the chant by some demonstrators.

“It would be helpful to know these things are happening. I understand the sensitivities. The issue is whether people have a right to know whether things are going on on their streets.

“It needs to be carefully done but we need a greater level of clarity about whether we have a problem about extremists on our streets.”

Asked if there was squeamishness over links to migration, he said: “All these things are connected. I understand the sensitivities but the police need to be clear if this was an attack by an extremist. We need to know that.”

A senior counter-terror official said: “It just illustrates the risk when you get stressed individuals coming from all parts of the world, including places where they will have participated in or witnessed savagery.

“It is linked to migration. As a result of full-scale migration, we are getting a lot of people.”

Son of Hamas Co-Founder Says Israel Is Doing ‘Palestinian People the Greatest Favor’

Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of one of Hamas’ founders, sat down for an interview with Fox News host Brian Kilmeade, and he said that Israel destroying and dismantling Hamas is a great gift to the Palestinian people. Yousef and his family converted to Christianity after they all witnessed firsthand the horrific acts and beliefs of Hamas in action. Not only did he convert to a different religion, but worked as a spy on behalf of the Jewish nation and then sought asylum here in the United States.

Interesting.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenethylline

Pharmacology

The fenethylline molecule results when theophylline is covalently linked with amphetamine by an alkyl chain.[8]

Fenethylline is metabolized by the body to form two drugs, amphetamine (24.5% of oral dose) and theophylline (13.7% of oral dose), both of which are active stimulants. The physiological effects of fenethylline therefore seem to result from a combination of these two compounds,[9][10][11] although how is not entirely clear, and seems to involve a synergistic effect between amphetamine and theophylline produced following metabolism.[7][12] The pharmacological actions of fenethylline before cleavage also remain poorly established, though it appears to act directly at several serotonin receptors.[13]

So probably don’t take speed (alpha meth amphetamine) with nuelin (theophylline, for asthma).

I have no doubt which side is worthy of my support, sympathy and help – not even the tiniest bit of doubt.

Size Matters

Some EV owners are taken by surprise when they discover the cost of replacing their batteries.

Depending on the brand and model of the vehicle, the cost of a new lithium-ion battery pack might be as high as $25,000:

The price of an EV battery pack can be shaped by various factors such as raw material costs, production expenses, packaging complexities, and supply chain stability. One of the main factors is chemical composition.

Graphite is the standard material used for the anodes in most lithium-ion batteries.

However, it is the mineral composition of the cathode that usually changes. It includes lithium and other minerals such as nickel, manganese, cobalt, or iron. This specific composition is pivotal in establishing the battery’s capacity, power, safety, lifespan, cost, and overall performance.

Lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (NCA) battery cells have an average price of $120.3 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), while lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (NCM) has a slightly lower price point at $112.7 per kWh. Both contain significant nickel proportions, increasing the battery’s energy density and allowing for longer range.

At a lower cost are lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are cheaper to make than cobalt and nickel-based variants. LFP battery cells have an average price of $98.5 per kWh. However, they offer less specific energy and are more suitable for standard- or short-range EVs.
Which Battery Dominates the EV Market?

In 2021, the battery market was dominated by NCM batteries, with 58% of the market share, followed by LFP and NCA, holding 21% each.

Looking ahead to 2026, the market share of LFP is predicted to nearly double, reaching 38%.

NCM is anticipated to constitute 45% of the market and NCA is expected to decline to 7%.

Yes.

And make them feel virtuous.

I’m a tolerant person (in the original sense of the word) but I don’t think people who deny Israel’s right to defend itself and who believe in ‘from the river to the sea’ belong in our society.

Monash University student Baruch has travelled to Israel, to take up arms against Hamas. He is among dozens of Australian Israeli Defense Force reservists returning to their homeland, to defend it.

Okay, I’ve just had a conversation with my best friend, the daughter of an Auschwitz survivor, who was sobbing on the phone an hour ago about how Sydney is now unsafe, how the NSW government is a disgrace, how our police are now the NSWaqf police, how she’s spent the afternoon looking of pictures of today’s rally of Jew haters in Sydney’s CBD, all officially sanctioned by our government and police so I told her to shut down her social media, get off social media, go to the Thai restaurant….and to hear this….
