Mendoza: Certain of its uncertainty
May 07, 2021
Doubts never wane. Doubting Thomases still abound. And for a reason.
The Tokyo Olympics will never happen until it has happened. It will never start until it has started.
Even as the torch relay struggles to trod on nearly five weeks since it took off in Fukushima, its ultimate aim to ignite the flame of Olympic takeaway remains in limbo.
Until the Games' anthem is played, the five rings will stay still.
Not until after the hymn's last note is hummed will the first whistle be blown.

May 07, 2021
During the launch of the Olango Swim Challenge, the country's longest running open water swimming event, the organizers hoped that folks all over the country would copy their event and hold their own open water swimming contests.
They were hopeful because, well, we live in an archipelago, a beach, for most of us, is just 10 to 20 minutes away.
They were hopeful also because of the goal of their event, for an archipelago, the number of people who know how to swim is low and the incidents of drowning are high.

In the meantime, Konkco lost his last bout by unanimous ...

May 07, 2021
THE Visayan Electric Company has advised consumers to put more conscious effort in managing their power consumption especially during this summer period.

New electrolyte boosts lithium-air batteries
May 07, 2021
Scientists in the UK reported a breakthrough in lithium-oxygen batteries, achieved by experimenting with different electrolyte compositions. Working with ionic liquids, they were able to tweak the electrolyte recipe to minimize unwanted reactions during battery cycling, and greatly improve on both performance and stability.
It's a common story in the world of battery research – new materials and designs that promise much higher performance face challenges and limitations in terms of reaching their potential in a practical device and demonstrating long-term stability.
And this is particularly true for batteries incorporating lithium or other transition metal anode materials, which tend ...

WILL the 2022 polls be this country's perfect storm? A perfect storm is considered a critical or disastrous situation created by a powerful concurrence of factors that may result in unprecedented changes. I am hoping it will be because the odds of having no elections at all is not a hundred percent improbable. To successfully stage an election in 2022 will be a feat for Filipinos. I do not wish to be a doomsday messenger but we are currently preoccupied with so many things except how the 2022 polls will exactly be implemented in the midst of the pandemic. ...
