"A Look to the Heavens"

noreply@blogger.com (CoyotePrime) at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 6 hours ago
“Gorgeous spiral galaxy NGC 3521 is a mere 35 million light-years away, toward the constellation Leo. Relatively bright in planet Earth's sky, NGC 3521 is easily visible in small telescopes but often overlooked by amateur imagers in favor of other Leo spiral galaxies, like M66 and M65. It's hard to overlook in this colorful cosmic portrait, though. *Click image for larger size.* Spanning some 50,000 light-years the galaxy sports characteristic patchy, irregular spiral arms laced with dust, pink star forming regions, and clusters of young, blue stars. Remarkably, this deep image also ... more »

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." - J.R.R. Tolkien, "Lord of the Rings"

*“What's Left” * “I used to wait for the flowers, my pleasure reposed on them. Now I like plants before they get to the blossom. Leafy ones – foxgloves, comfrey, delphiniums – fleshy tiers of strong leaves pushing up into air grown daily lighter and more sheened with bright dust like the eyeshadow that tall young woman in the bookshop wears, its shimmer and crumble on her white lids. The washing sways on the line, the sparrows pull at the heaps of drying weeds that I've left around. Perhaps this is middle age. Untidy, unfinished, knowing there'll never be time now to finish, liking the... more »

Super Shooters: Meet the 5 Most Dangerous Rifles on the Planet Today

Kyle Mizokami at The National Interest - 6 hours ago
*Kyle Mizokami* *Technology, * Get one of these before you go to war. *Key point:* War remains infantry focused. Infantry needs effective rifles. Warfare in the post-9/11 period is primarily infantry-focused, with ground troops taking part in small-unit actions against insurgents and guerrillas. Fought on a wide variety of terrain, from arid desert regions to jungles and even cities, infantrymen have relied on their service rifles to get the mission done. Here are five of the best weapons, and how the wars of the twenty-first century changed them. *M4 Carbine:* Originally devel... more »

FL: Yet Another Bad Plan To Not Increase Teacher Pay

Peter Greene at CURMUDGUCATION - 6 hours ago
So previously there was the Best and the Brightest program, which awarded teacher bonuses based on student test scores and the teacher's own SAT scores. From high school. It had a variety of problems (above and beyond the basic boneheadedness of the idea) and the new governor, Ron DeSantis found it "confusing." Yes, you can still buy swampland in Florida This newer, betterer plan comes along with the DeSantis First Year bump-- $600 million intended to increase the minimum salary for teachers to $47,500.

*"The Meadow Across the Creek"* by Thomas Berry "I was a young person then, some twelve years old. My family was moving from a more settled part of a Southern town out to the edge of town where the new house was still being built. The house, not yet finished, was situated on a slight incline.

It began with what the two world wars were really about. The missing part is about the determination of American capitalists to conquer the world. And no, that is no exaggeration.

Elizabeth Warren’s health care trap

Andrew Koppelman at Balkinization - 9 hours ago
Elizabeth Warren appears to have finally come up with a health care plan that makes sense. How she got there was ugly.

Jordan Weissman wisely points out that it would have been better if she had done it with fewer political contortions. Michael Brendan Dougherty, one of the last(God bless him) anti-Trumpconservatives, thinksthat it’s a political mistake, because the left will feel betrayed and abandon her. He might b... more »
