Just 9,000 years ago, Britain was connected to mainland Europe by an area of ​​land called Doggerland, which is now submerged beneath the North Sea.

"“Larry, you gotta understand something. There’s two things that make a man a man. The first thing is a man does what he says he’s gonna do.” Dad starts to slowly nod with a brooding face. “And the second thing is a man doesn’t let his emotions make his decisions.” Dad nodded some more.

"I continued to shoot from the hip.

“Don’t get me wrong. That frustration you felt when I made that call, that’s always going to be there. That frustration when you feel you’ve been wronged never goes away. I’m not telling you not to feel it. You have a crazy desire to win no matter what the occasion is, and I respect it. But if you let your emotions control your actions…you’re always going to lose.”"

"Standing in the ruins of an old mining town, it’s impossible to find a military target worth mentioning. There aren’t any. What does exist is a community of people who have endured more than a decade of terror, funded and supplied by the West. For the people of Gorlovka, this isn’t war—it’s a campaign of extermination.

The streets are empty, not because life has moved indoors, but because stepping outside is a calculated risk. Drones lurk in the skies, and a parked vehicle is a potential target. Most residents have taken to parking under trees for whatever cover they can find. Every movement is done with the knowledge that Ukrainian forces, with NATO-supplied weapons, are watching."

My path very briefly crossed that of Theranos’ Founder & CEO, when we’d both made short pitches to an audience of venture capitalists in NYC.

I recall being sure that the technology she described could not possibly work as advertised. Blood volume in the sample was far too low to enable a large number of tests. Furthermore, the time required to characterise & validate every test item was utterly incompatible with the business plan. This occurred so often that it was unremarkable to me. I wasn’t aware at the time who was on her board. I forgot all about her until I saw reports of her trial and subsequent conviction.

What’s totally new to me is as described here. Several writers believe it was an alternative way to run pandemics. In the end, that slot was filled by Kary Mullins’ PCR.

It is said that “Truth of stranger than fiction”. It’s certainly true of the composition of Theranos’ board.

In the future, it’s possible that the purported test technique will be PCR again. Or it might be Theranos’ technique. Or it might be yet another test system. What it’ll have in common is that it won’t be meaningful. It definitely won’t be detecting a pathogen. But most people will believe it does & be scared.

Best wishes

Interesting footage of the launch tests of a promising Chinese hypersonic cruise missile of an unknown type at the moment of entering the cruise section of the trajectory.

The video, filmed by local residents, shows the moment of the burnout of the solid propellant charge of the booster solid rocket motor and the launch of the hypersonic ramjet engine at a speed of about 5.3 - 5.7 M, with the rocket subsequently accelerating to 8.5 - 9 M.

The estimated flight altitude of the product at the time of filming could vary from 35 to 55 km.
