Scotland has become the first nation in the world to offer tampons, sanitary pads and other menstrual products free of charge. "Providing access to free period products is fundamental to equality and dignity," said Scotland’s social justice secretary.

Remember the "Bizarro" people in the Superman comics? Wants to help put out a fire, and throws gasoline on it. The chump is one of them.

I'd take Bizarro. Trump...sure, he wants to help - but we're gonna have to do him a favor though, you know, if we could see it in our hearts to drop this investigation thing.

Perfect Press Release. Read the transcripts!!!

Someone who loves him..or..if no one who loves him can be found, someone on his legal team...needs to invest in a muzzle.

This 17-Year-Old Designed a Motor That Could Potentially Transform the Electric Car Industry
Smithsonian Mag

Robert Sansone is a natural born engineer. From animatronic hands to high-speed running boots and a go-kart that can reach speeds of more than 70 miles per hour, the Fort Pierce, Florida-based inventor estimates he’s completed at least 60 engineering projects in his spare time. And he’s only 17 years old.

A couple years ago, Sansone came across a video about the advantages and disadvantages of electric cars. The video explained that most electric car motors require magnets made from rare-earth elements, which can be costly, both financially and environmentally, to extract. The rare-earth materials needed can cost hundreds of dollars per kilogram. In comparison, copper is worth $7.83 per kilogram.

“I have a natural interest in electric motors,” says Sansone, who had used them in different robotics projects. “With that sustainability issue, I wanted to tackle it, and try and design a different motor.”

The highschooler had heard of a type of electric motor—the synchronous reluctance motor—that doesn’t use these rare-earth materials. This kind of motor is currently used for pumps and fans, but it isn’t powerful enough by itself to be used in an electric vehicle. So, Sansone started brainstorming ways he could improve its performance.

Over the course of a year, Sansone created a prototype of a novel synchronous reluctance motor that had greater rotational force—or torque—and efficiency than existing ones. The prototype was made from 3-D printed plastic, copper wires and a steel rotor and tested using a variety of meters to measure power and a laser tachometer to determine the motor’s rotational speed. His work earned him first prize, and $75,000 in winnings, at this year’s Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), the largest international high school STEM competition.

This disaster was man made.  Strip mining and mountaintop removal reengineered the land and left communities and towns towards the valley floor exposed to record levels of storm runoff. Then the coal companies left and government officials let them offload their bonds tied to abandoned strip mining operations and their promise to clean up their mess.  Logging companies also helped, clear cutting hillsides of trees capable of absorbing large amounts of moisture and holding the ground in place and leaving behind fields of kudzu, an invasive plant ill-suited for the job of mountain integrity. Throw in increased greenhouse gas emissions from the global industrialization of the 20th century and you have all the ingredients needed for continued and more frequent catastrophes.

In a country where Liz gets vilified for knowing the GOP is gone bat shit crazy and booted for not being blindly loyal. Add to that, this. 

When some, even on the left want to claim it is unfair to compare Trump or the GOP in congress to the Nazis, I call bullshit. If you are willing to ban Anne Frank's diary from public schools, you are proving to be the fascist you claim not to be. And who was behind all this? A right wing  PAC associated with a right wing cell phone company called Patriot Mobil. These are the folks the GOP panders to and wants votes from.
