Chinese Silk Could Save Hot Summers

The Chinese are developing a new type of fabric  that can make humans feel 15 percent cooler when they put the clothes on in hot conditions.  The technology is sure to be duplicable by others, and, hopefully, will be duplicated by those committed to open source technology that gives all of humanity the opportunity to develop and exploit this type of technology.

With China working hard to colonize Africa, one can see how a product such as this could be a billions of yuan winfall for the CCP-controlled corporations that produce such products.  It would be better for Africa to develop their own engineered silk products and produce them in-continent than to pin such a dependence to such a totalitarian and supremacist state as China.

Fabric technology: Modified silk keeps skin 12°C cooler than cotton

Climate change is making summer days even hotter for some – but new clothing might helps us keep cool

A fabric made of engineered silk keeps skin about 12.5°C cooler than cotton clothing and provides relief from hot weather.

Approximately 15 per cent of global electricity goes towards keeping us cool. To reduce this energy demand, scientists have been searching for passive ways of cooling us that don’t require electricity.

Jia Zhu at Nanjing University in China and Shanhui Fan at Stanford University and their colleagues were inspired by silk, which feels cool against the skin because it reflects most of the sunlight that strikes it – mainly the infrared and visible wavelengths – and so readily radiates heat.

They were able to engineer silk to block even more sunlight – about 95 per cent – by embedding the fibres with aluminium oxide nanoparticles that reflect the ultraviolet wavelengths of sunlight.

France Moves to Ban British Ships from Key Fishing Port

The heat between Brtitain and France over fishing rights in British waters is only getting hotter, with France now threatening UK ships with banishment from a key French port that British fishing currently goes through.

Brexit news: French brand UK ‘petty’ and say British ships will be BANNED from key port | World | News

Excerpt:

Jean-Marc Puissesseau is chairman and CEO of the Boulogne-Calais port said that, if negotiations between France and the UK fail, “ships will be banned from disembarking in the port of Boulogne”. This would be a major blow for them, as around 40,000 tonnes of fish from UK ships pass through it annually.

On top of this, existing checks on the produce – which are free under an agreement signed in 2003 – would end, Mr Puissesseau warned.

So even if the port continued allowing British ships to offload their cargo, they would be hit by extra costs and delays, he claimed.

Speaking to French publication Europe 1, he said in the agreements signed for Brexit, “it was expected that licenses would be granted to fishing masters who had to prove that in 2016, they are fishing in British waters”.

The Europe 1 report states: “Two types of boats cannot prove that they were at sea at that time.

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris’s approval ratings have cratered to record lows, according to a recent poll.

The USA Today/Suffolk University poll, which queried 1,000 registered voters last week, found Biden’s approval rating has sunk to 38 percent. Harris has dropped even lower, earning a dismal 28-percent job approval.

Sixty-four percent of respondents said they don’t want Biden to run for a second term, while 58 percent said they don’t want Trump to run for a second term. Biden has not committed to running for reelection.

The president found little support among independent respondents. Just 6 percent of independents said the president has done a better job than they expected, compared with 44 percent who said he’s done worse than expected.

More COVID-19 Therapies Means Less Justification of Vaccine Mandates

One of the justiciations of the vaccine mandate is the high rate of hospitalization and mortality, especially among vulnerable populations.  But as scientists and doctors have experimented, often on the job, with the best way to treat people who get infected, more and more drugs and therapies are coming online that are daily reducing the threat of COVID-19 to the general public.

At some point, perhaps a point we already passed, people might ask themselves when we no longer face a danger that justifies the draconian measures that are still being undertaken in America today.  On top of that list of measures that must go in light of this new reality are the vaccine mandates themselves.

This study points to a more effective therapeutic treatment using a combination of Ivermectin and Doxycycline.  In the study, the therpy was able to produce effective results for both the use of Ivermectin-Doxycycline  and Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin, with the former combination outperforming the latter (the former being from Group B).

A Comparative Study on Ivermectin-Doxycycline and Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin Therapy on COVID-19 Patients, Abu Taiub Mohammed Mohiuddin Chowdhury, Mohammad Shahbaz, Md Rezaul Karim, Jahirul Islam, Guo Dan, Shuixiang He

Results: All subjects in Group A reached a negative PCR, at a mean of 8.93 days, and reached symptomatic recovery, at a
mean of 5.93 days, with 55.10% symptom-free by the fifth day. In group B, 96.36% reached a negative PCR at a mean of
9.33 days and were symptoms-free at 6.99 days. In group A 31.67% of patients expressed symptoms caused by medication, this was 46.43% in group B.
Conclusion: The combination therapy of Ivermectin-Doxycycline showed a trend towards superiority to the combination of Hydroxychloroquine-Azithromycin for mild to moderate COVID19 disease.

For patients that end up having to be admitted, a therpeutic is emerging called a prophylactic anticoagulation, which is reducing the mortiality rate of those admitted to hospital by more than 50% from 27% to 13%.  The findings also found no health risks associated with the treatment itself.

Early initiation of prophylactic anticoagulation for prevention of coronavirus disease 2019 mortality in patients admitted to hospital in the United States: cohort study, Matthew S Freiberg, et al

Results Of 4297 patients admitted to hospital with covid-19, 3627 (84.4%) received prophylactic anticoagulation within 24 hours of admission. More than 99% (n=3600) of treated patients received subcutaneous heparin or enoxaparin. 622 deaths occurred within 30 days of hospital admission, 513 among those who received prophylactic anticoagulation. Most deaths (510/622, 82%) occurred during hospital stay. Using inverse probability of treatment weighted analyses, the cumulative incidence of mortality at 30 days was 14.3% (95% confidence interval 13.1% to 15.5%) among those who received prophylactic anticoagulation and 18.7% (15.1% to 22.9%) among those who did not. Compared with patients who did not receive prophylactic anticoagulation, those who did had a 27% decreased risk for 30 day mortality (hazard ratio 0.73, 95% confidence interval 0.66 to 0.81). Similar associations were found for inpatient mortality and initiation of therapeutic anticoagulation. Receipt of prophylactic anticoagulation was not associated with increased risk of bleeding that required transfusion (hazard ratio 0.87, 0.71 to 1.05). Quantitative bias analysis showed that results were robust to unmeasured confounding (e-value lower 95% confidence interval 1.77 for 30 day mortality). Results persisted in several sensitivity analyses.

Conclusions Early initiation of prophylactic anticoagulation compared with no anticoagulation among patients admitted to hospital with covid-19 was associated with a decreased risk of 30 day mortality and no increased risk of serious bleeding events. These findings provide strong real world evidence to support guidelines recommending the use of prophylactic anticoagulation as initial treatment for patients with covid-19 on hospital admission.

Melatonin is proving to be an effective therapeutic in the treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19.  The study tracked 24 patients in an intervention group (the ones that got the treatment) and 20 patients in a control group.  None of these patients were in critical condition.  The patients in the Melatonin group recovereved much more quickly than those in the control group did, suggesting melatonin can be an effective treatment for patients hospitalized, but not in critical condition.

Efficacy of a Low Dose of Melatonin… in Hospitalized Patients with COVID-19, GholamHossein Alishiri

A total of 24 patients in the intervention group and 20 patients in the control group completed the treatment. Compared with the control group, the clinical symptoms such as cough, dyspnea, and fatigue, as well as the level of CRP and the pulmonary involvement in the intervention group had significantly improved (p <0.05). The mean time of hospital discharge of patients and return to baseline health was significantly shorter in the intervention group compared to the control group (p <0.05). No deaths and adverse events were observed in both groups.

Conclusions

Adjuvant use of melatonin has a potential to improve clinical symptoms of COVID-19 patients and contribute to a faster return of patients to baseline health.

In an analysis of multiple studies, a case is being made for Hydroxychloroquine being made widely available for the treatment of hospitalized COVID-19 patients and for the FDA warning label to be removed from the drug.  The mortality rate reduction for those treated with the drug is shown to be 75%, and for those who use the drug therapeutically at the start, it reduces their chances of hospitalization by 44%.

Hydroxychloroquine in Early Treatment of High-Risk COVID-19 Outpatients: Efficacy and Safety Evidence, Risch, Harvey.

It is readily apparent that every one of the studies of high-risk outpatient HCQ use has shown
risk reduction for hospitalization or mortality, averaging 44% for the former and 75% for the
latter, and that the numerous systematic case-series studies have shown exceedingly good
treatment benefit vs mortality. The “natural experiment” studies of population responses
provide compelling evidence of temporal relations between medication use and mortality. The
RCT studies proclaimed as definitively showing no benefit of HCQ use in outpatients have all
involved almost entirely low-risk subjects with virtually no information about risks of
hospitalization and mortality and are irrelevant for bearing upon HCQ use in high-risk
outpatients. The totality of fatal cardiac arrhythmia events among more than 8,000 patients
treated with HCQ and HCQ+azithromycin is zero. The large database study of more than
320,000 older patients taking HCQ+azithromycin shows no excess all-cause mortality (Risch
2020b) and minuscule excess fatal arrhythmia frequency, 9/100,000 patients, compared to the
large number of patients whose lives will be saved by outpatient use of these medications. I
have not discussed all of the other even lesser-frequent adverse events than the arrhythmias,
but these are equally minuscule, and the FDA did not invoke them for its warning about
outpatient use in the title statement of the warning. The FDA has stated publicly that it relied
upon adverse event data from hospital inpatients to make policy applying to outpatient use.
There are no systematic adverse event arrhythmia data of US outpatients from the beginning
of 2020 through the present. The FDA website also publicly cautions that only (i.e., “due to”)
arrhythmia data are relevant to its warning, by omitting from the title any assertions that other
potential adverse events were important or frequent enough to be determinative. The FDA’s
extrapolation from adverse events in hospitalized patients to supposed risks in outpatients is
flagrantly unwarranted. Outpatient viral replication is an entirely different disease than
inpatient florid cytokine-driven pneumonia (Park et al., 2020) and the treatments are different.
The need for outpatient use of HCQ is crucial for saving the lives of high-risk COVID-19
patients. The most recent published recommendations for early treatment of COVID-19
outpatients (McCullough et al., 2020) consider HCQ use and related medications of critical
importance and is authored by some 50 clinicians providing this treatment. There is no
comparison between the number of lives to be saved with early outpatient treatment and the
minuscule numbers addressed in the analyses of adverse events, even what would be
postulated to occur with widespread outpatient use. All of these data have been available to
the FDA for some time. The improper warning on the FDA website must be removed
immediately, and widespread early outpatient treatment must start immediately.

Tom Wolf Wants PA to Join Multi-State Cap and Trade Scheme

Tom Wolf might be dipping into some illegal action with his recent decision to have the State of Pessnylvania join the Regional Green Gas initiative.  In essense, it’s a multi-state cap and trade scheme that seeks to work around legislatures where they might not be so amendable to such schemes.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) is on the precipice of deciding whether Pennsylvania should join the Regional Green Gas Initiative (RGGI), a multistate “cap and trade” agreement that sets limits on CO2 emissions. Joining the RGGI could result in the closure of power plants, job losses, and a loss of energy independence for the United States. Yet the governor doesn’t appear to care. Nor does he appear to care that the study used to justify joining RGGI is deeply flawed or that he may lack the legal authority to make the decision to join.

Terry McAuliffe Tells Parents Only Schools Can Teach Kids What to Think

The central issue in the Virginia Governors Race that will be settled in less than a week is emerging to become a fight over the DNC effort to force their CRT-type ideological value system on American children in public schools.

The symbolic moment of that issue might yet be defined as the choice by DNC candidate and Clinton operative and former DNC chair, as well as former Virginia Governor, Terry McAuliffe to openly declare that parents have no rights in determining how to educate their children.  The chilling message fell upon Virginia parents with existential devastation, the DNC was making it nakedly clear that your kids were theres, and their values will be your kids’ values, and if you resist, the Department of Justice will arrest you for being terrorists.

The question is, will this chilling message, this epic political self-wound by the uncharismatic McAuliffe, make it to the cheap seats, so to speak, where life is seen almost purely through the DNC machine’s screens?  If it does, we expect this race to end with a 52-48 victory for Glenn Youngkin, a victory that would most likely be reflected as 56-44 if the race were fully transparent and not loaded, most likely, with spam mail-in ballots, and whatever else the DNC can throw into their favor should the race be close enough to steal.

Under the CRT-type guidelines, what I wrote above will one day get me arrested, as race and gender rights override Bills of Rights, especially of those in the races and genders and values and beliefs that fall outside of the fine-line parameter of proper humaning as defined by the DNC.  Rule of priest-king versus Rule of law is the real battle that is taking place, not just in Virginia, but across this country.

Here is a link to a video where McAuliffe reiterates the essential point that education should be left to the educators:

“It’s absurd for parents to tell teachers what to teach,” said Diane Ravitch, education historian and advocate for public schools. “ … The result would be chaos, and in most cases would be parents telling teachers to teach the way they were taught decades earlier.” What’s more, she said, “It thoroughly discredits the teacher’s professionalism and expertise,” adding: “I can’t think of a more effective way to demoralize teachers and drive them out of the classroom.”

Virginia is a bellweather, not the end or the beginning, or the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning.  The results need not crystalize the final outcome as we fight to preserve the Bill of Rights in our American lands, nor would victory end our struggle or assure our victory.

Even just finding who the “we” is might not be settled by the Virginia election, as it must surely be broader than Conservatves and Republicans.  It must reach the unpolitical and galvanize them to act.  If it fails to do this, Mcauliffe will win.  If he wins by less than four, you can bet that election is in doubt.  If he wins by more than four, he won the election for real.

Youngkin will have to win by more than four points to win the election of record.

We are predicting a 60 percent chance of a Youngkin win, and are settling on a 53-47 final record of election, followed by an intense DNC barrage across the socio-cultural production that will declare the victory a mere blip, an anomoly, with some corporations declaring concerns that Virginia was about to become racist and dangerous for all disenfranchised peoples in the land.

The song’s not as effective as it once was, however, and socio-cultural authority is waning, even as the DNC only increases its near-monopolistic grip on the screens that reflect these worlds.

U.S. Regains Seat at U.N. Human Rights Council, 3 Years After Quitting

From www.nytimes.com

Excerpt:

 

The United States on Thursday regained a seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council, which the Trump administration abandoned in 2018 because of what it called the body’s hypocrisy and anti-Israel prejudice.

In seeking to rejoin the 47-member council, the Biden administration, which has taken a far more supportive stance toward the United Nations than its predecessor, argued that American interests would be better served if the United States were a member seeking change from within.

The United States won a three-year term for one of 18 open seats on the council, starting in January, in a vote by the 193-member General Assembly.

Based in Geneva, the council is regarded as the world’s most important human rights body. While it has no criminal enforcement or sanctioning powers, the council can undertake investigations that help shape the global image of countries. It can also exert influence on their behavior if they are deemed to have poor rights records.

But the council has a…
