In 2019, 49% of Virginia’s Black 4th graders Could Not Read – Mississippi Offers Hope
The writer compares and contrasts Virginia’s approach to education planning with Mississippi’s.

The Peculiar PCR Test
The PCR test is widely used to confirm Covid-19 infections, but does it actually work? The writer quotes the Nobel laureate who invented the PCR test, Karry Mullis, to answer this question:

Who’da thunk it? When you expand intermittent sources of electrical supply, you need more wiring to connect all the generators to the distribution network. In effect, you need to redesign the whole system when you change the energy sources you use to produce electricity.
