"Hochul presses Biden admin for action on mysterious drones: ‘This has gone too far’" - Juliann Ventura, The Hill, 14DEC2024
>New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) joined the growing number of figures calling on the Biden administration and lawmakers to act on the mysterious drone sightings in New Jersey and other parts of the country.
>“In order to allow state law enforcement to work on this issue, I am now calling on Congress to pass the Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety, and Reauthorization Act,” Hochul wrote Saturday in a statement, referring to legislation that would expand the authority of the Justice (DOJ) and Homeland Security (DHS) departments to address threats from unmanned aerial systems, as well as additional oversight power to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

"The history of all Geatish and Swedish kings" - Johannes Magnus, Catholic Church, 1554
>Posthumously published, partly pseudo-historical work by Johannes Magnus, Sweden's last Catholic Archbishop.
>The Historia was implicitly critical to King Gustav Vasa of Sweden, who had introduced the Protestant Reformation in 1527 and caused the exile of Johannes Magnus. It was nevertheless used widely by Gustav Vasa's sons and successors, to whom it had been dedicated, since it extolled the glorious past of the Swedish kingdom. In particular, the sons used the (partly fictitious) king-list which began with Magog, grandson of Noah. As a consequence, Eric XIV and Charles IX adopted much higher regnal numbers than warranted by the historical sources.
>The book opens up with the creation of the world, around 3960 years before the birth of Christ. Noah sets up his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth to govern Asia, Africa, and Europe, respectively. Citing Flavius Josephus, Johannes says that a son of Japheth, Magog, is the father of the Scythian peoples (which Johannes identifies as the Goths and in turn the Geats), and at first rules over “that part of European Scythia now called Finland”. Eighty-eight years after the Deluge, however, Magog and a great number of people crosses the Baltic Sea and reaches Götaland on the Scandinavian peninsula, which he settles and makes his new seat of power, thus becoming the first King of Sweden. This assertion, Johannes explains, is supported by “our fatherland's most reliable chronicles”.
>Of Magog's five sons, Suenno and Gethar are set up to rule over (and give their names to) the Swedes and Geats, respectively, while the younger brothers Thor, German, and Ubbo help administer their brother's domains. When Suenno dies around 246 years after the flood, Ubbo becomes ruler of the Swedes, and he builds the city of Uppsala to be his seat of power, its etymology being the Halls of Ubbo. Ubbo is succeeded by Siggo, who builds the city of Sigtuna by Lake Mälaren as a fortress against the Estonians, Finns, and “other peoples in the East”. Already by this point, the runic alphabet has been invented, which Johannes claims are older than both the Greek and Latin alphabets.
>After Eric's death in around 425 years after the Deluge, the Golden Age quickly comes to an end, and the Scandinavian peoples soon are converted to paganism. The temple at Uppsala is constructed, “built in such grandeur that all in its walls, roofs, and pillars seemed to be shining of purest gold”. Drawing on Saxo Grammaticus, Johannes gives a brief description of the gods in Norse mythology, which he says are related to the gods of the Roman religion. Over the next four hundred years, the amicable relations between Swedes and Geats deteriorate, and Johannes mentions the kings Uddo, Alo, Odin, Charles, Björn, and Gethar as rulers, of whom he writes that no knowledge has survived, save their names.

"Norway campaigns to cut energy links to Europe as power prices soar" - Richard Milne, FT, 12DEC2024
>A lack of wind in Germany and the North Sea will push electricity prices in southern Norway to $1.18 per kilowatt hour on Thursday afternoon, their highest level since 2009 and almost 20 times their level just last week.
>The interconnectors are taking the blame for the current high Norwegian prices, with critics arguing Norway should only send electricity from its abundant hydropower abroad after it has ensured low prices at home, as was the case for decades previously.
>“This is a crunch moment for EU-Norway relations. Reducing power connections to Europe will not be well received,” one EU ambassador in Oslo said.
>Norway is also western Europe’s largest petroleum producer and has replaced Russia for many EU countries as their biggest supplier of gas.
>Polls predict ruling centre-left government will be crushed and a centre-right government will emerge.

"Top senator calls Salt Typhoon ‘worst telecom hack in our nation’s history’" - Ellen Nakashima, WaPo, 21NOV2024
>The hackers, part of a group dubbed Salt Typhoon, have been able to listen in on audio calls in real time and have in some cases moved from one telecom network to another, exploiting relationships of “trust,” said Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Virginia), chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee and a former telecom venture capitalist. Warner added that intruders are still in the networks.
>Though fewer than 150 victims have been identified and notified by the FBI — most of them in the D.C. region, the records of people those individuals have called or sent text messages to run into the “millions,” he said, “and that number could go up dramatically.”

"Albert Einstein and Charlie Chaplin's friendship began with a hilarious exchange of mutual admiration" - Annie Reneau, Upworthy, 29MAR2023
>Einstein's physician and friend János Plesch shared in a memoir published in 1947:
>"Once when Einstein was in Hollywood on a visit Chaplin drove him through the town. As the people on the sidewalks recognized two of their greatest, if very different, contemporaries, they gave them a tremendous reception which greatly astonished Einstein. 'They’re cheering us both,” said Chaplin: “you because nobody understands you, and me because everybody understands me.' There was a good-humoured pride in his remark, and at the same time a certain humility as at a recognition of the difference between ready popularity and lasting greatness."

"1st image of our Milky Way's black hole may be inaccurate, scientists say" - Sharmila Kuthunur, Space, 30OCT2024
>"No telescope can capture an astronomical image perfectly," Makoto Miyoshi of NAOJ, who led the latest analysis of EHT data, said in a recent statement. "We hypothesize that the ring image resulted from errors during EHT's imaging analysis and that part of it was an artifact, rather than the actual astronomical structure."
>In the new study, Miyoshi and colleagues specifically argue this ring-like structure is an artifact caused by the bumpy point-spread function (PSF), which refers to the way an imaging system measures the amount of blurring caused by gaps in data.

"Killer 1918 flu didn’t pick on the healthy, after all" - Mitch Leslie, Science, 09OCT2023
>Spanish flu killed 50 million people in 1918-19. A disproportionately large number of young, healthy individuals died. A new analysis of skeletons from the time challenges this notion, suggesting that people who were frail were most likely to die, as is true for pandemics.
>A wealth of recent studies using data from around the world confirmed a mortality surge between the ages of 20 and 40. “That shouldn't be happening,” says anthropologist Amanda Wissler of McMaster University. “Healthy people don't die—that’s the definition of healthy.”
>“People who wouldn’t normally have died did die,” she says.
>Not everyone is convinced. Epidemiologist Lone Simonsen argues if frailty was a major risk factor during the flu pandemic, mortality would also have shot up among the elderly—which didn’t happen. “We don’t see deaths in the groups where frailty is more common.”

“This is a US Navy Recruiting Office in Alhambra, CA. EVERY recruiter here is Chinese, as well as all the people coming to enlist. The working language here is also Chinese.
The video was filmed by a Chinese language YouTuber, and the US NAVY recruiter who took him there to film all this is EN2 QLANG WANG.
In the description box of this video on YouTube, which was uploaded on Dec 1, 2024, QLANG WANG's contact information is provided, and what concerns me is that the first option listed is his WeChat ID. The telephone number of the office comes as the second choice.
One thing I am sure of, from listening to their accent, is that they all come from mainland China, everyone in this video.
And the title of the original Chinese language video is: "How Desperate Are Chinese People to Join the US Military? They're Overwhelming Recruitment Offices, Each with Their Own Reasons for Enlisting"
The Chinese word used is "中國人", which can be translated as Chinese people, or more precisely, people from PRC, or people of PRC. In the mind or subconsciousness of the YouTuber who shot this video, all these people still belong to the PRC.”
