Chinese tokamak keeps plasma 2.6 times as hot as the Sun for 17 minutes
The Tokamak continues its slow development. It may well work in time. Yet the design is still convincingly scalable. Bigger will be also better. I still prefer the prospects of the Focus Fusion system which is both scalable and whose output is growing exponentially.

Research shows more riparian buffer strips can protect our waterways
This is common sense of course, but that is still out of fashion. THe obvious way to do this is to establish native growth band along the river banks. It needs to be robust enough to allow tree growth and yes we should plant trees every year, particularly in this barrier band. This will lead to a full restoration of the creek and river beds. Then we need to allow a double swath of grasslad to spring up as well. Cattle can graze this in rotation and the soil will thicken. These bands will soon be hte most fertile soil on hte farm. *Research shows more riparian buffer strips c... read more
Reptilians Seek Human Souls and Transcendence Through Abduction

This is obviously absorbing millions of dandelion spirit forms to produce a stronger spirit form. We have arrived at the same potential conclusion from another direction.

How China and Pakistan Built a Rival to the F-16
*Charlie Gao* *Aircraft, * It is yet to be seen whether it can actually perform at its price point in combat, but Pakistan seems to be satisfied with what the JF-17 can do in trials. *Here’s What You Need to Remember: *The largest advantage of the JF-17 is its cost. At only 15 million per plane in its most basic configuration, the JF-17 is far cheaper than any of its competitors, even used. China’s JF-17 “Thunder” multirole fighter is one of China’s most successful aerospace exports.

Stephen Glover lays out a detailed charge list against BBC Radio 4' *Today* programme at the *Mail*: *A week in the life of Today that has made me despair of BBC bias: Flagship news show offers only a Left-wing progressive take on everything from Brexit to statue toppling and the NHS.* I thought of attempting a summary of the piece, but the detail is what's important and it's well worth reading from start to finish.

The *Daily Telegraph* has 'seen' a letter from Nadine Dorries to Tim Davie concerning the BBC's coverage of the antisemitic incident on Oxford Street. The Culture Secretary wants to know what actions the BBC has taken so far and how the corporation intends to resolve the issue “in a suitably timely manner”. Don't we all!
