  the deadly cost of Putin’s senseless invasion of Ukraine

  50,000 casualties. Millions of refugees. Democracy in retreat. That’s what experts fear could be the deadly cost of Putin’s senseless invasion of Ukraine. Efforts to prevent war have failed, but efforts to end it must succeed. Fast. Civilians are being killed right now because Putin believes the world is too divided to hold him to account. Let's show him he's wrong, with a massive, urgent open letter from people everywhere calling on governments to impose far-reaching sanctions on Moscow.

  Honduras first woman president has just been sworn

  Maria was just 12-years-old when she was raped by two of her relatives. She lives in Honduras - the only country in Latin America to ban emergency contraception - and was forced into becoming a mum to avoid jail. No one should have to go through this. But right now we have an unprecedented opportunity to help usher in a new era for Honduras' women and girls! Honduras' first woman president has just been sworn in and promised to repeal this cruel ban on the morning after pill. But she is facing a huge backlash and needs global support to stand with girls like Maria. https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/honduras_women_12/

  Google is indeed working on AR smart glasses with a new project

  Report: Google is indeed working on AR smart glasses with a new project In recent years, Google has notoriously kept its work on augmented reality hardware secret. That has started to change recently, while a new report today provides explicit confirmation that “Google is working on a new iteration of smart glasses.” As part of a broader piece about the major tech companies working on AR hardware, the New York Times today explicitly said that Google is “nurturing a new project.” The Times suggests that this latest project was the result of last year’s North acquisition. That’s unfortunately the extent of details, with the company declining to comment. As such, it’s unclear whether Google plans to release a stopgap headset or whether it’s entirely focused on the smart glasses form factor. Apple’s first device next year is rumored to be a mixed reality headset that can be used for AR development in addition to virtual reality, through the use of a pass-through camera where users can view the real world through a video feed rather than directly. Meta is similarly working on Project Cambria for 2022. https://9to5google.com/2021/12/30/google-ar-smart-glasses/

  Inflation Is Near a 40-Year High. Here’s What It Looks Like.

  Inflation Is Near a 40-Year High. Here’s What It Looks Like. Price increases for fuel, cars, food, apparel and medical care vary widely U.S. inflation climbed to a 39-year high in November, as strong consumer demand collided with supply constraints. Overall, the level of consumer prices leapt 6.8% last month from a year earlier, the Labor Department said. But prices didn’t change at the same rate for all goods and services. A surge in prices for gasoline and other energy sources, along with prices for cars, have been the primary drivers of this year’s inflation burst. Meanwhile, prices for services like education and medical care rose just slightly. https://www.wsj.com/articles/inflation-is-near-a-40-year-high-heres-what-it-looks-like-11639737004

  Reasonable to hypothesise Covid virus is genetically engineered: Expert

  Reasonable to hypothesise Covid virus is genetically engineered There is a possibility that the COVID-19 virus was "most likely" leaked from a lab in China, British MPs were informed on Thursday. Harvard scientist Dr Alina Chan, while testifying before the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee, said that it was reasonable to hypothesise and investigate whether the Covid virus was modified in the lab. https://www.wionews.com/world/reasonable-to-hypothesise-covid-virus-is-genetically-engineered-expert-437263

  https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/protect_the_amazon_loc/?cWQxFdb Brazil’s Presi

  https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/protect_the_amazon_loc/?cWQxFdb Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is a one-man environmental disaster. He's greenlighted illegal mining and logging in Indigenous lands, sabotaged environmental laws, and now the destruction of the Amazon has risen by more than 20% in a year -- a loss equivalent to 3,000 football fields per day! He thinks he can get away with it -- but there’s a way to hold him to account. A group of brave lawyers is pushing for the International Criminal Court to prosecute Bolsonaro for his alleged attacks on the Amazon and its defenders. And whether or not it happens will come down to a decision by ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan. He has a reputation for being tough in his pursuit of justice, but dragging Bolsonaro to court would need a new level of courage. So let’s build a massive global call from every corner of the Earth for him to act, and when this is huge, our voices will be delivered directly to the Prosecutor’s office.

  First-Ever Covid-Killing Steel Inactivates 99.9% of the Virus Within Hours Researchers in

  First-Ever Covid-Killing Steel Inactivates 99.9% of the Virus Within Hours Researchers in Hong Kong said they have developed the world’s first stainless steel that kills the Covid-19 virus within hours, adding to the arsenal of products being created globally to curb the pathogen that triggered the worst pandemic of the past century. The newly-developed alloy can inactivate 99.75% of the SARS-CoV-2 virus within three hours and 99.99% within six hours, according to a study published Nov. 25 by a team of researchers at the University of Hong Kong. The university researchers, led by Huang Mingxin at the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Leo Poon at the Centre for Immunity and Infection, are also liaising with industrial partners to test this material in creating steel products such as lift buttons, doorknobs and handrails that are among most-commonly touched surfaces in public areas. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-12-07/first-ever-covid-killing-steel-can-inactivate-99-8-of-the-virus

  Meta, formerly called Facebook, has reversed its ban on cryptocurrency ads across its platforms. The move will give bitcoin exchanges, wallets and other crypto companies access to more than 3 billion people around the world who use the firm’s various platforms, which include Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook itself. The ban was originally introduced in January 2018 in an effort to prohibit “misleading or deceptive promotional practices” like initial coin offerings (ICOs), which spiked in popularity during the crypto market rally of 2017/18. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/facebook-crypto-ban-meta-bitcoin-b1968321.html
