*"8 Shocking Demographic Trends Which* * Will Greatly Shape America’s Future"* by Michael Snyder "We are witnessing a fundamental transformation of America. Some welcome the changes that are happening, while others are greatly resisting them. But one thing is very clear – the United States is a very different place than it was 40 or 50 years ago. Our population is aging, lifestyle patterns are dramatically shifting, and young adults view the world very differently than Baby Boomers do. The changes that we are watching happen are going to take our society in new directions, and alrea... more »

The Senate's Representational Imbalance (2019 edition)

Marty Lederman at Balkinization - 17 hours ago
Now that Cindy Hyde-Smith has, as expected, won the run-off election to serve the final two years of Thad Cochran's term as Senator from Mississippi (Cochran retired), we know that Republicans will have a 53-47 advantage in the 116th Congress beginning in January. What percentage of the U.S. population will those 53 incoming GOP Senators represent, if we assume the Senators from a particular state represent the residents of that state? Nineteen states, with a total of approximately 144,461,202 residents (based on 2018 estimates), will be represented by two Democratic Senators (if w... more »

Dave Majumdar at Test Feed Using Fields - 18 hours ago
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * What would happen? *Overall, the Chinese J-20’s airframe shaping is far more conducive to stealth than the Su-57 air vehicle design.* Russia and China are both developing next-generation fifth-generation fighters as they struggle to challenge American dominance of the international system. However, the two great powers are taking somewhat differing approaches to developing these new next generation machines. Those differences are driven by a number of factors including threat perceptions and requirements as well as access to technology and financial... more »

Lots of Black Holes

LL at Virtual Mirage - 19 hours ago
Following articles at Northrop Grumman NOW is an interesting pastime. I refer you to this article. The theory is that thousands of black hoes may orbit Sagittarius 1, the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, where we live. Understanding more about them and their existence would help us focus on gravity wave research. Understanding specifically how gravity works (string theory or maybe something else) is key to developing a unified field theory of why and how things work that would apply to the quantum world as well would advance science significantly.

On the World of Nature

Anoop Verma at The Verma Report - 19 hours ago
William A. Wallace, in his book *The Modeling of Nature: The Philosophy of Science and the Philosophy of Nature in Synthesis*, offers the following perspective on the world of nature: Combining the two senses, we may characterize the world of nature as what is capable of coming into existence apart from human influence and as made up of things that have within themselves natures or internal sources of their distinctive activities. Nature is thus populated by plants and animals of various kinds, by chemical elements and compounds, by hosts of elementary particles, by galaxies, stars... more »

Montana 'Werewolf' Incident

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
This has to be the best single sighting of the Giant sloth, also known as Dog man. The huge upper body along with the preternatural arms conforms to a creature that is at home up in the trees. We knew this but this really tells us just how much it relies on those arms. What is not so obvious is that the hind legs have not evolved so much but must still have gripping capacity and those long claws to assist. Again three toes when observed. What it cannot do is run fast and long. Thus what we usually see are failed ambush opportunities and no real effort to ever pursue. This is... more »

How World War I launched mapmaking at National Geographic

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
The popularity of maps continue to be grossly underestimated. My own efforts have led me to search for superior product in vain. So it is no surprise at all that the National Geographic found the sweet mark here. In fact map innovation has been sorely lacking everywhere for decades. Such innovation could easily lead to a sharp expansion in the NS readership. Most available product is decades old and at best slightly undated. this is unfortunate. The impetus of war has not been available. *National Geographic’s first general reference world map, published in December 1922,... more »

Beneficial effects of Nutritional Supplementation Persist

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 20 hours ago
It has taken me a long time, but i wish to present a reasonable conjecture. This comes directly from the knowledge that all other animals on Earth operate at prime health until just shortly before they hit their biological expiry date. Now most of them have a short life span and nutrient depletion has to be minimal as those lifespans compare to our own prime at thirty or so. The human problem is that we have truly extended lifespans and a high burn rate as well to support our brains. What possibly could go wrong? Logically so called micro nutrients are potentially a source o... more »

Greg Hunter, "We’ve Reached the Point of Debt Saturation"

*"We’ve Reached the Point of Debt Saturation"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter has been asking the same question many others have been asking. How long can the heavily indebted and manipulated global economy go before it blows or can it go on indefinitely? Holter says, “It can’t keep going because it’s already stopped. The inflection point has already been hit. If you look at credit growth, it’s not credit growth. It’s either credit stagnation or credit contraction. The global financial system is a Ponzi scheme.

U.S. Says They Cannot Defeat ISIS Because They Are Hiding In Tunnels

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 21 hours ago
*Task & Purpose:* *US Military Says It Can’t Take Out Remaining ISIS Fighters Because They’re Hiding In Tunnels* As 2018 draws to a close, it is unclear if U.S. troops and their Arab-Kurdish allies have made a dent in ISIS’ last stronghold in Syria. A spokesman for U.S. military operations in Iraq and Syria estimated in December 2017 that fewer than 3,000 ISIS fighters remained in both countries. Since then, defense officials have said consistently that roughly 2,000 ISIS fighters are trapped in Syria’s Middle Euphrates River Valley. Army Capt. Sean Ryan, a spokesman for Operatio... more »

Black Education: What Makes Sense?

Walter E. Williams at rss - 22 hours ago
[image: black-education-what-makes-sense] What do you think of the proposition that no black youngsters should be saved from educational rot until all can be saved? Black people cannot afford to accept such a proposition. Actions by the education establishment, black and white liberal politicians, and some civil rights organizations appear to support the proposition. Let's look at it with the help of some data developed by my friend and colleague Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Trump's Approval Numbers Just Plummeted

DownWithTyranny at DownWithTyranny! - 1 day ago
Gallup tracks Trump's approval/disapproval numbers weekly. Last week was a doozy-- right over the cliff. I wonder why. Maybe some people didn't like the idea of teargassing children at the border. Or maybe it was that Climate Change report. In fact, Trump seems to have panicked when it came out and realized his supporters might get mad. So, yesterday, right after the Gallup numbers-- which Trump watches like a hawk-- came out, he dragged his fat ass down to the White House press corps and had 4 words to say about it: "I don't believe it." That's his own administration's official N... more »

The Poet: Ruth Feldman, “Detour”

noreply@blogger.com (Coyote Prime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 1 day ago
*“Detour”* “I took a long time getting here, much of it wasted on wrong turns, back roads riddled by ruts. I had adventures I never would have known if I proceeded as the crow flies. Super highways are so sure of where they are going: they arrive too soon. A straight line isn't always the shortest distance between two people. Sometimes I act as though I'm heading somewhere else while, imperceptibly, I narrow the gap between you and me. I'm not sure I'll ever know the right way, but I don't mind getting lost now and then. Maps don't know everything.” - Ruth Feldman
