The Solution for the Eastern Seaboard by Alexander Kessler

The Solution for the Eastern Seaboard by Alexander Kessler

Published by skeptic

Book Summary: The Solution for the Eastern Seaboard by Alexander Kessler The solution for the Eastern Seaboard” derives its title from the 1964 Republican presidential candidate Barry Goldwater rhetorically asking in front of a wooden relief of the United States whether the Eastern Seaboard could not simply be sawed off and drifted into the sea. Goldwater was alluding to the fact that his party’s election success had often been hampered by the votes in the states of the Eastern Seaboard. That scenario could become grim reality, as geologists indicate that a volcanic eruption of the Cumbre Vieja on the Canary island of Las Palmas may lead to the crater and a large part of the island slipping into the Atlantic Ocean. The giant landslide would trigger a massive earthquake at the seabed of the eastern Atlantic, which could initiate a tsunami devastating the east coast of North America with a wave height in excess of 20 meters.

I tested the screen-cleaning solution used in Apple stores and it worked like magic

I tested the $15 screen-cleaning solution used in Apple stores and it worked like magic

Published by skeptic

The Whoosh kit comes with everything you need to clean your screen. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET ZDNET’s key takeaways The Whoosh 3.4 fl oz cleaning spray and cloth kit is available on Amazon for $15. In my experience, it’s the best kit for cleaning displays, large or small.  Some users report concerns that the cloth could scratch displays, but I did not experience this in my testing. We’re surrounded by screens. Some sit in one place, collecting dust and grime, while others get touched and pawed at frequently, accumulating oils from our skin and anything else hitching a ride on our fingers. For me personally, a dirty screen is a major distraction, as my eyes are inevitably drawn to discrepancies. Also: This 20-in-1 accessory kit is my new favorite tech essential (and it’s only $12) The problem is, wiping down screens with most cloths just ends up leaving streaks and smears. I’ve tried numerous methods, from proprietary wipes to specialized cleaning cloths, and some have provided passable results, but none have felt quick and easy. Until now. A …

Beautiful European city’s solution to tackle British stag and hen dos | World | News

Beautiful European city’s solution to tackle British stag and hen dos | World | News

Published by skeptic

A beautiful European city that is a popular tourist destination for British travellers is proposing new rules to tackle rowdy behaviour by holidaymakers – specifically stag and hen dos. A district council in Prague, Czechia, has suggested that outrageous costumes worn by stag and hen party groups should be banned to deal with overtourism and reduce the toll of nightlife on locals in the city. Representatives from the Prague 1 district council are in talks with the city municipality to explore the possibility of banning unsuitable tourist attire in the Czech capital, The Independent reports. The suggested “silly costume” ban is proposed to address noise pollution and unruly tourist behaviour in the area’s nightlife scene. In the suggestion, Prague 1 council member Bronislava Sitár Baboráková mentioned that the costumes go beyond what’s generally accepted and hurt locals, especially affecting elderly people and children, as reported by Prague Morning. Prague 1 encompasses significant landmarks such as the medieval old town, Prague Castle, and the Charles Bridge, most of which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage site. The pub …

The Buddha’s Solution to Suffering

The Buddha’s Solution to Suffering

Wheel of the chariot of the sun, Konark Sun Temple, Odisha. 1250 CE. The temple is designed as a chariot with 24 such wheels. As a symbol, the wheel of dharma is featured in several Indian religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. Source: Vikas Rohilla / Pexels Last time, I discussed the life of the Buddha. The Buddha was struck by human suffering and spent years trying to understand its causes and the means to overcome them. After reaching enlightenment, the Buddha delivered his first sermon in the deer park at Sarnath, on the outskirts of Kashi (modern-day Varanasi). He preached the Middle Way between luxury and austerity, the Four Noble Truths, and the Eightfold Path. The Middle Way and Dependent Origination Two early insights that led the Buddha to enlightenment are the Middle Way and Dependent Origination. According to the doctrine of the Middle Way, we are more likely to achieve insight and wisdom if we avoid extremes of self-gratification and self-mortification—in his case, as a prince and, later, as a mendicant.

Housing in Los Angeles: One man’s creative solution for finding a place to live

Published by skeptic

After a hard day’s work, Cameron Gordon sometimes finds a bit of solace as he lounges on the gurney in his yard, surveying a patchwork of weeds, potted plants, garden beds and a hose that meanders across the dirt. This is where his struggle to navigate the housing crisis has left him: living by day on an 18,000-square-foot lot in Sun Valley, pulling weeds, watering trees — and then leaving at night as he searches for a safe place to sleep. Gordon’s strange — and quintessentially L.A. —odyssey started when he found he couldn’t afford an apartment and came to realize a home was whatever you can squeeze into. A studio. An accessory dwelling unit. A camper. Gordon bought an ambulance. Cameron Gordon spent $15,000 — his life savings — on three ambulances. Two of them were lemons, but the third was good enough to drive around and sleep in. Emblazoned with bright red paint, his boxy service vehicle has found a new purpose after being decommissioned. Storage shelves once lined with trauma kits now …

Demand for the cholera vaccine is soaring – this company might have a solution

Three more drug makers are also set to join the mission to refill stockpiles with their own production lines. The IVI will transfer the technology for the simplified vaccine to Biological E, an Indian firm, and to Biovac in South Africa, which would be a huge boost for vaccine production in sub-Saharan Africa.   The process could take another 1.5 to two years, experts say. Meanwhile, Bharat Biotech, another big Indian company, is working on its own vaccine, which could be ready to help replenish supplies by the end of 2025. All going to plan, EuBiologics should be increasing its own capacity to 80 million doses next year, said Ms Park, adding that Bharat was expected to add another 15 million to the mix, bringing the total global annual supply to 95 to 100 million doses. “It’s not going to be sufficient for preventable campaigns as well, but in two years’ time I think we are going to be in a good position,” she said. The dearth of vaccines that caught global health bodies on the …

Zelensky lauds House passage of Ukraine aid bill: ‘This is a solution for protecting life’

Published by skeptic

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude to the U.S. after the House passed a bill providing additional funds to Ukraine in its ongoing war against Russia. “Today, we received the awaited decision on the US aid package that we long fought for. And a very significant one,” Zelensky wrote on social media platform X. “Our warriors on the front lines, as well as our cities and villages suffering from Russian terror, will feel it.” “I thank everyone who supported our package, this is a solution for protecting life,” he continued. “I personally thank Speaker Mike Johnson and all American hearts who believe, as we do in Ukraine, that Russian evil must not be winning.” The House passed a series of foreign aid bills Saturday, marking a moral victory for the inexperienced Speaker, who took the gavel less than six months ago. The package includes roughly $61 billion for Ukraine. The move to provide more assistance to the Eastern European country did not come without roadblocks. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), who vehemently opposed the bill and ripped …
