Central bank digital currencies (CBDC's) are coming - What will the consequences be?
Currencies are the lifeblood of trade and the economy; if a currency fails, the entire economy fails. Yet, most people rarely think about the health or buying power of the money in their pocket. People don't research how often currencies actually falter and how common it is for inflation or stagflation to strike nations. They just assume that the money they have will be as useful tomorrow as it is today. They also assume that money will never change in a dramatic way. This lack of interest in how money works is likely due to the fact that people are not taught how their money is created. It's not discussed in schools, the truth is avoided in colleges and the mainstream news rarely mentions it. People think our government and treasury handles all of that, but the reality is that our government does NOT create our money; at least, it's not in charge of the process. Central bankers are, and they operate from a "quasi-independent" position. For example, former Federal Reserve chairman...

Elephant stabs mahout to death with its tusks in southern Thailand
An elephant stabbed its mahout - or elephant trainer - to death with its tusks yesterday morning in Nahkhon Si Thammarat province in southern Thailand. The elephant stood watch over the man's corpse for hours, said police. Yesterday at 10.30am, officers from Chawang Police Station received a report that a man had died after he was pierced by his own elephant's tusks. A team of police and rescue workers rushed to the scene on a hill in the forest, where they found a big elephant guarding the body of its mahout Chaichana Matchanimwong. Chaichana's body was covered in wounds, said police. Officers said they tried to separate the elephant from the mahout's body, but there was not much they could do. The elephant stood guard over the body for hours and eventually walked away into the forest. Police were finally able to retrieve Chaichana's body and take it to the hospital for an autopsy to be carried out. After the autopsy is complete, Chaichana's body will be taken to his relatives for...

Increase in leopard attacks in the Indian state of Uttarakhand - 77 people killed in 5 years
Some days back, a leopard attacked and killed a bike pillion rider. A woman was mauled to death in a second incident the same day On Tuesday (July 19), two youths — Mohd. Anas and Afsarul — were returning on their motorbike to their home in Amroha from Uttarakhand's picturesque Almora hills. On a lonely stretch, as Anas drove on gingerly, in split seconds a leopard leapt from the thicket. It pounced on pillion rider Afsarul and thwacked him down from the bike, dragging him to some distance, killing him. Anas told the media that he was left dumb-struck, stunned by the suddenness of the attack. He could not do anything to save his friend. Wildlife officials described the leopard attack as a rare case.

Heavy storms batter Russian resort of Sochi, vehicles swept away by floodwater
Flash floods sweep cars in Sochi, a Black Sea city. In Southern Russia, torrential rains are still wreaking havoc. They have caused flash floods which disrupt lives and cause significant damage. Officials in the city that hosted the Winter Olympics activated an emergency alarm system Saturday night. They advised residents to take shelter inside, but also be available for evacuations. Around 11pm, emergency sirens could be heard in Sochi as storms continued to batter the city for the second consecutive day. This caused more chaos and flooding.

Kenly Police Chief Josh Gibson and all his full-time officers resigned on Wednesday. The town is left with three part-time officers to run the rest of the department, serving a population of about 2,000. Kenly's town attorney Chip Hewett told WRAL News that the town would be holding an emergency meeting on Friday night at 7 p.m. to discuss how the town would be handling public safety. "We just learned about this [Wednesday], it effects the entire police dept and staff members, we are looking at having an emergency special meeting to figure out how to move forward with it," Hewett said.

Israeli PM Yair Lapid warns Moscow that shutting down immigration agency would hurt relations
Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has warned Russia against shutting down an agency that processes the immigration of Jews to Israel, saying the move would have a serious impact on bilateral ties. Lapid told a meeting of senior officials on July 24 that closing the offices of the Jewish Agency for Israel would be a "serious event that would affect relations," a government statement said.

UK unveils emergency plans over fears of winter blackouts due to energy shortages
Millions of households might be facing requests to turn down their thermostats and switch off their lights, as the Government seeks to implement measures to avoid winter blackouts. As concern about an upcoming gas or electricity supply shortage has grown, the National Grid has met with energy industry representatives. This possible public appeal to use less energy is part of emergency contingency plans in place. After Russia cut supply via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, EU countries have already been asked to reduce their gas usage by 15 per cent next month. Comment: Russia was forced to reduce supplies - it has yet to cut it off entirely - after Germany, in league with Canada, held a turbine, critical to NSI's functioning, to ransom; these governments even acknowledged as much.

Astronomer suggests it is time to look for near-Earth asteroids in the direction of the sun
Scott Sheppard, an astronomer with the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Hawaii, has published a Perspective piece in the journal Science suggesting that it is time for the space science community to take a closer look at near-Earth objects (NEOs) that lie in the direction of the sun. In his paper, he notes that the technology now exists to look for and find such NEOs, at least during the twilight hours. As Sheppard notes, most space gazing is fixed at the dark night sky, when the sky is not overwhelmed with light from the sun. But as a result, space scientists have ignored the NEOs that orbit between Earth and the sun. And that could lead to trouble, since one or more of them could be on a path that leads to them crashing into Earth.

'Manipulated' Alzheimer's data may have misled research for 16 years
The key theory of what causes Alzheimer's disease may be based on 'manipulated' data which has misdirected dementia research for 16 years - potentially wasting billions of pounds - a major investigation suggests. A six-month probe by the journal Science reported "shockingly blatant" evidence of result tampering in a seminal research paper which proposed Alzheimer's is triggered by a build-up of amyloid beta plaques in the brain. In the 2006 article from the University of Minnesota, published in the journal Nature, scientists claimed to have discovered a type of amyloid beta which brought on dementia when injected into young rats.

Hawaii Senate Majority Leader gets 3 years in prison for bribery
Another day, another corrupt Democrat has been caught breaking the law.
