On Thursday, the Biden administration announced the latest in its renewable energy efforts, this time focused on a technology that hasn’t really arrived yet: floating offshore wind turbines. Compared to turbines directly anchored on the seafloor, floating versions are estimated to cost about 50 percent more, which has made energy development of large areas of the ocean cost-prohibitive. The program announced today will create a “wind shot” that aims to drop the costs by more than 70 percent over the next decade and position the US as a leader in this industry.

When Philip Arthur George, the first child of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, was born, on November 14, 1948, his mother hired Rabbi Jacob Snowman, a well-known London physician and mohel in December 1948 to circumcise her son. Snowman circumcised other members of the British nobility and Royal Family, and the princess was reportedly highly satisfied with the Rabbi’s work. The royal family tradition of hiring Jewish mohels to circumcise their sons goes back to Queen Victoria. However, it was reported that this fine tradition was interrupted in 1982 after the birth of Prince William, because his mother Diana, the Princess of Wales, did not approve.  Continue reading “King Charles III Was Circumcised by Jewish Mohel, Cherishes UK Jews”

Years ago, tech inventers proposed that citizens worldwide be provided with Universal Basic Income (UBI) because they were afraid of what could happen when their innovations replace most human jobs.  Since then, countless more jobs have been lost to automation and/or robots (see 1, 2, 3) and more job loss is expected.  UBI pilot programs have been introduced but also remain controversial and recently another one was announced in Ireland for artists.
