Read or Condemn Yourself to Death by Ignorance

For those courageous souls brave enough to look and see what is,

who are unwilling to blindly accept

the lies and rules of tyrannical authority.


Wednesday 25th December 2019


G’day,

Hope this finds you fit and well. Have a very Merry and Safe Christmas (and Happy New Year if you are away for my next two newsletters)!

Here is a sampling of what crossed my digital desk over the last week.

How to Demo The Seasons

Planetary Food Supplies are Looking Ever More Perilous - Strange Things Are Happening In The Waters Along The West Coast, And Fish Are Starting To Disappear

California Rainbow Obsidian Is a Natural Wonder

Stadium Facepalm

Scientists Develop Liquid Fuel That Can Store The Sun’s Energy For Up to 18 Years

No Short Cuts

Visa Warning: Hackers Ramp Up Card Stealing Attacks At Gas Stations

Exhausted Firefighters

Commmunication

I hope you get something from it!

Cheers!

Planetary Food Supplies are Looking Ever More Perilous - Strange Things Are Happening In The Waters Along The West Coast, And Fish Are Starting To Disappear
 
The East Pacific Hot Spot Blob
 
 
 

Something is causing the waters just off the west coast to heat up dramatically, fish are dying off in staggering numbers, birds that feed on those fish are also dying off rapidly, and scientists have discovered 15,000 holes in the ocean floor off the coast of California.

California Rainbow Obsidian Is a Natural Wonder
 
Rainbow Obsidian Blade
 
 
 

Obsidian is dense volcanic glass, usually rhyolite in composition and typically black in color. Obsidian with multicolored iridescence caused by inclusions of magnetite nanoparticles. Obsidian is often formed in rhyolite lava flows where the lava cools so fast that crystals do not have time to grow.

The NSW government are at best, criminally incompetent, at worst, guitly of manslaughter by mismanagement and neglect! Cutting $68 million from the Fire Services budget while spending $2 billion on a sports stadium is such an altered priority it is obscene!

Environmental catastrophe, ecological genocide and species suicide.

Please remeber this come next state and federal elections! Labour, Liberal, Nationals and Greens do not have our best interests at heart! Pick the best ndependent candidate you can find with whose policies you agree and who has a good track record of managing people and projects for optimal outcomes.

 
 
 
 
Scientists Develop Liquid Fuel That Can Store The Sun’s Energy For Up to 18 Years
 
Solar Thermal Fuel
 
 
 

No matter how abundant or renewable, solar power has a thorn in its side. There is still no cheap and efficient long-term storage for the energy that it generates.

The solar industry has been snagged on this branch for a while, but in the past year alone, a series of four papers has ushered in an intriguing new solution.

Scientists in Sweden have developed a specialised fluid, called a solar thermal fuel, that can store energy from the sun for well over a decade.

“A solar thermal fuel is like a rechargeable battery, but instead of electricity, you put sunlight in and get heat out, triggered on demand,” Jeffrey Grossman, an engineer works with these materials at MIT explained to NBC News.

The fluid is actually a molecule in liquid form that scientists from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden have been working on improving for over a year.

This molecule is composed of carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen, and when it is hit by sunlight, it does something unusual: the bonds between its atoms are rearranged and it turns into an energised new version of itself, called an isomer.

Like prey caught in a trap, energy from the sun is thus captured between the isomer’s strong chemical bonds, and it stays there even when the molecule cools down to room temperature.

Hackers will target your credit and debit card pretty much anywhere you can use it, online or off. Gas pumps have become an increasingly popular target in recent years.

Firefighters are not a priority?
 
Exhausted Firefighters
 
 
 

I just launched the petition “Federal Politicians: So ScoMo doesn’t think firefighters are a priority? Cut parliamentary benefits and perks!” and wanted to see if you could help by adding your name.

My goal is to reach 100 signatures and we need more support. Click the Read More button to read and sign the petition:

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!

Tom
