Peter Greene at CURMUDGUCATION - 12 hours ago
It's that time. The local newspaper is loaded with notifications from all local school districts that it is now time for registering your student for school. That means mostly kindergarten registrants, though it could be any grade. But here are some things that will not happen during this period: * No parents will be handed complicated paperwork as part of the beginning of a long application process. * No parents will be told there are no more seats available. * No parents will be told they must enter their child in as lottery. * No parents will be told that the school cannot (and ... more »

Review Reclaiming Iraq, The 1920 Revolution and the Founding of the Modern State

Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago
*Kadhim, Abbas, **Reclaiming Iraq, The 1920 Revolution and the Founding of the Modern State**, Austin: University of Texas Press, 2012* The 1920 Revolt against the British in Iraq is a seminal moment in the country’s history. Over time, the event has been idealized, distorted, and misrepresented by the British, the monarchy, and every government in Baghdad afterward. The goal of Abbas Kadhim’s *Reclaiming Iraq, The 1920 Revolution and the Founding of the Modern State* was to cut through this literature, and represent what some of the leading participants had to say.

Uranium in Drinking Water: Is it Really Just Naturally Occurring?

Majia's Blog at Majia's Blog - 12 hours ago
Uranium in drinking water occurs naturally but uranium levels in drinking water are rising nationally. https://www.ewg.org/tapwater/contaminant.php?contamcode=X006#.W1ny5cInbcc The change in concentration is often attributed to natural processes related to depleting ground water supplies. Although one cannot discount the role of "natural processes" in causing elevated uranium levels in drinking water, few accounts address polluting human activities. I don't believe this is an innocent omission. There is a clear pattern of denial of human-caused radioactive contamination, even in ... more »

The Deadbeat Theory, an Occam's Razor Explanation of Donald Trump's Subservience to Putin

Gaius Publius at DownWithTyranny! - 12 hours ago
*"Trump and Russia: Which conspiracy is it?" is the title of this cartoon. What if it's both?* *by Gaius Publius* It's very hard to write about "Trump! Russia!" in today's environment, though I've tried. On the one hand, so many things may be true but can't really be proved, and on the other, so many things that may not be true at all are presumed true, that it's hard to find — and even harder to present — the actual evidenciary basis for the many allegations. Is Trump's behavior "treacherous," as John Brennan, Obama's CIA director, recently wrote? That's quite a serious charge. T... more »

The Bounds of Sensibility and of Reason

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 13 hours ago
Immanuel Kant, in two famous letters to Marcus Herz, written early in the so-called silent decade, talks about a philosophical project that he is working on. His fundamental concern is with metaphysics (or the possibility of metaphysics) and he says that his project will be an introduction to metaphysics and to it he has given the title, “The Bounds of Sensibility and of Reason.” Here’s an excerpt from Kant’s June 7, 1771 letter: Long experience has taught me that one cannot compel or precipitate insight by force in matters of the sort we are considering; rather, it takes quite a ... more »

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
This news report dates from 2015, but I only just noticed it. Better late than never, I guess! An ISIS commander in Syria became a figure of mockery, thanks to his battledress. Feared Isis commander Abu Wahib was posing to show off his brand new military fatigues recently, painfully unaware he bore a striking resemblance to a doner kebab. Anti-Isis activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered noticed the similarity and posted it online, where it quickly went viral. Wahib can ditch his ridiculous, yet strangely tasty looking outfit, but it isn’t only his sartorial choice which has... more »

What Is Left Unsaid In The Anglo-Saxon Accusations Against Russia?

Thierry MEYSSAN at OrientalReview.org - 14 hours ago
Is Vladimir Putin’s Russia a Wild West where Power can strip a billionaire of his fortune? Is Russia interfering with the United States electoral process?

Cybersecurity Fallout From the Partisan Divide Over Russian Election Interference?

HLin at Lawfare - 14 hours ago
A recent Ipsos/Reuters poll found that 56 percent of Americans strongly agree or somewhat agree that Russia interfered in the 2016 election on behalf of Donald Trump. Within that group, only 32 percent of Republicans but a whopping 81 percent of Democrats shared that sentiment. It is hardly a surprise, but a partisan divide on this point is quite apparent. Cybersecurity has been seen differently. Until recently, there had been a rough consensus about the seriousness of cybersecurity threats, even if partisans of different stripes might have conflicting policy prescriptions. Howev... more »

Shootout: Why the Army Picked Sig Sauer over Glock

Task and Purpose, Matthew Moss at Test Feed Using Fields - 15 hours ago
*Task and Purpose, Matthew Moss* *Security, * A newly released report just shed light on why Glock lost its protest against Sig Sauer, providing fresh insight into the U.S. Army’s selection for the Modular Handgun System contract. *The Army believed that the Sig had a “slight technical advantage” over the Glock; a table in the GAO report suggested it scored a “good” rating to Glock’s “acceptable.” The Sig also won high points in both ergonomics and ballistic performance. Moreover, Sig offered a two-gun proposal — the XM17 and compact XM18 — to Glock’s single-gun bid.* A newly r... more »

NATO's Plan to Kill Russia's Submarines: Bomb Them with Magnets?

Steve Weintz at Test Feed Using Fields - 15 hours ago
*Steve Weintz* *Security, Europe* Well, at least during the Cold War. Read on. *The magnets worked on the Soviets with the same maddening results. The crews of several Foxtrots were driven bonkers by the noise and returned to port rather than complete their cruises. Now, the Soviet navy could afford to furlough a sub or two, but NATO could not. Anti-submarine crews couldn’t practice with floppy-magnets attached to their exercise targets.* At the height of the Cold War, the Soviet Union had so many hundreds of deadly submarines at sea that Western war planners willing to try almo... more »

FACT: 1 Japanese Soldier Fought World War II Until 1974

*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* And for some, it was even longer. We explain. *Remarkably, Onoda was not the last Japanese soldier to come in from World War II. In December 1974, a holdout named Nakamura Teruo was captured on the Indonesian island of Morotai. He was not Japanese, but a Taiwanese conscript more afraid of his Japanese masters than he was of the Indonesians. Consequently, he did not receive a hero’s welcome in Japan, but returned quietly to Taiwan where his arrival highlighted the wartime activities of the so-called Takasago Volunteers.* The Japanese em... more »

Trump Likes To Break Things

Owen Gray at Northern Reflections - 16 hours ago
Yesterday, the president of the European Commission met with Donald Trump. Jean-Claude Juncker had an unenviable task -- trying to convince Trump that the European Union is a good idea. Andrew Hammond writes: At the heart of this diplomatic discord is Mr. Trump’s disdain for the European Union, which goes significantly beyond that of any president since the bloc’s establishment. While he has concerns with Europe’s low levels of defence spending vis-a-vis Washington, it is on the economic front that the Brussels-based club is the deepest source of frustration for him with its large... more »

Laymen's thirst for overly simple solutions and \(0^0\)

Luboš Motl at The Reference Frame - 23 hours ago
Most people seem to be irrational, in fact obsessively irrational, and that's manifested even in mundane discussions. OK, ask how much is the zeroth power of zero:\[ 0^0 = ? \] Great. In calculus where the arguments are continuous, there is still a general way to calculate a power:\[ a^b = \exp(b \log a). \] The logarithm is natural. Apply it to \(0^0\) and you get:\[ 0^0 = \exp(0\log 0) = \exp(0\times (-\infty)) = \exp({\rm ind}) = {\rm ind}. \] Like \(0/0\), it's a classic indeterminate form. Well, yes, this \(0\times (-\infty)\) in the exponent is "more likely" to be "morally" ... more »
