1/ Thread: In this essay, Herb Childress lays out a grim argument: College faculty members are being discarded, one step at a time. chroni.cl/2CCUf5u
2/ Childress says higher ed is being redefined in ways that make faculty members irrelevant.
3/ The story he tells isn't unique. About five years ago, the journalist Anne Helen Petersen gave up her academic career because she felt like she had to: chroni.cl/2uzc6WC

1G, 2G, 3G, 4G use between 1 and 5 GHz frequency.
5G uses 5x that, between 24 and 90 GHz.

These higher-frequency bands have greater capacity,
but their shorter wavelengths mean a lower range.
They are easily blocked by buildings, cars, trees, planes.

#CoronavirusOutbreak
To get around that, 5G requires "small-cell antennas" to be deployed far more densely than 4G antennas -
roughly every 500 ft or one antenna per city block.

By 2017, US had 320,000 4G cell antennas.
5G requires 769,000 -
an increase of 449,000 new antennas.

#coronavirusus
On 6-9-2017, 225 scientists from 41 nations
(with peer reviewed publications on EMFs)
begged FCC to consider the impact of 5th generation infrastructure on public health/safety.

FCC didn’t listen. Maybe it'll listen now -
or blame mounting G5 casualties on #CoronavirusOutbreak

How best can Kenya regulate online sports betting? Is it through shutting them down abruptly? Let us have a sober discussion about this subject. Currently, people are just driven by emotions with a mob justice mentality.
Kenya cannot purport to be running away from online betting. That is like trying to run away from technology and change. With the explosion in smartphones and the internet, Kenyans gamers can access different betting sites by the click of the button both within and without Kenya.
We are not having a sober discussion about betting. Some are talking about tax compliance while some are talking about its moral effects. Those supposed to have a sober discussion are being driven by emotions and not logic thinking. Should we regulate betting by taxing them more?

I was in panel discussion at Christ University today on 'What is India's identity? Is it changing?'

I told India's primary identity is Hindu identity. A large section of audience gasped with shock as though I said something offensive. Some felt I was 'extreme'!
The kind of setback Hindus have faced in the narrative war is unbelievable and most unfortunate. It's a pity that we can't even call ourselves Hindu unapologetically.

Don't know how many decades of work is necessary to change this. Most important war to win is narrative war.
The idea that we became a new nation in 1947 & our Constitution is what makes us plural is the regular BS that our kids are fed with.

Unless Hindus realise that India is plural because India is majority Hindu & not just because of a Constitution, we won't go anywhere.
