What Business Loan Next Is – And What it’s Perhaps not

The second stage of this fearful drama is the conclusion that being an entrepreneur is just not solely attention-grabbing, it also forces hidden talents, abilities and private characteristics to the surface. It brings out the perfect in an individual. Greater than that, it is... read more

Frequency of electricity grid in Europe must be maintained at exactly 50 Hertz or it may collapse
Very interesting report in Der Standard in German explaining how electricity prices are determined. The 10s of 1000s of electricity generators around Europe produce electricty of difference voltages which have to be harmonized and maintained at 50 Hertz. For electricity to flow from socket and power devices, it is essential that voltage is always 50 Hertz. A small deviation can mean that electric devices don t work properly. A larger deviation because there is too little electricity in the grid can mean collapse... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2Ne8gnKfJI The frequency has t... read more

Mullens writes: ... my mother has found purpose and intellectual stimulation through her fervent following of Jones.

How To Harass Female High School Athletes
In the interest of Fairness, many states have pursued the idea of anti-trans athlete legislation, largely centered around the notion of athletes who were born male transitioning to female and thereby gaining an unfair advantage over those athletes born female. I'm not going to wade into the debate about this issue, other than to note that I've known plenty of highly driven teen athletes and their highly driven parents and I still doubt that any of them would have ever decided that a gender transition would be a great way to get an edge in sports competition.

NASA and UAPs (UFOs)
More than a half century ago, the Air Force sponsored at the University of Colorado, a study of UFOs. Lead by Dr. Edward U.

From that point on, other scientists, journalists, news organizations and DoD officials used those conclusions to ignore the UFO phenomenon and often to ridicule those who took it seriously or who claimed to have seen an alien spacecraft.
