Wednesday assorted links

1. Nobel Laureates give advice to young economists.

2. “One Wonderful Sunday,” a story of a poor couple in immediate postwar Japan, while not well-known, is one of Kurosawa’s best films.

3. “The zoo said the shareholders had tossed the donkey to the tigers “in a fit of rage”, and apologised to the public for the incident.”

4. Claims about batteries and energy storage.

5. Thomas Pynchon should write a Qatar novel.  And a brief look at Qatar’s earlier history.  And a new book on the history of Qatar is coming out next week, I have pre-ordered.  Try this one too.
