The Poet: William Stafford, "Starting With Little Things"
*"Starting With Little Things" * "Love the earth like a mole, fur-near. Nearsighted, hold close the clods, their fine-print headlines. Pat them with soft hands- Like spades, but pink and loving; they break rock, nudge giants aside, affable plow. Fields are to touch; each day nuzzle your way. Tomorrow the world." - William Stafford
Chet Raymo, “Desert Places”
“Desert Places” by Chet Raymo “If there is a cognitive disconnect in contemporary culture it is between cosmic space and time and human space and time. Those folks who can seriously grasp the scale and age of the universe, with its tens of billions of observable galaxies and billions of years of evolutionary time, and still believe the universe (or its Maker) attends to them personally - well, they are more daring thinkers than me. Or more credulous. Which is why, I suppose that nearly half of Americans believe the universe is less than ten thousand years old - which is to say, tha... more »

"Banish Mediocrity from Your Life"
*"Banish Mediocrity from Your Life"* by Cheryl Wright "Are you satisfied with just getting by with the minimum of effort? But where is the deep-down heart-swelling satisfaction in that? Mediocrity is a life-stifling mindset that affects both the young and the old. We can only be successful if we rid ourselves of the tendency to perform at a mediocre level in all areas of our lives. It is only when we push ourselves and give our best can we appreciate our achievements and enjoy the benefits they bring. Success in life depends on the self-discipline that comes from approaching any p... more »
"The Chessboard..."
"The chessboard is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance." - Thomas Huxley
"No Reason..."
"Almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart." – Steve Jobs
Psychology: "The Rewards of Doing 'Something'"
*"The Rewards of Doing 'Something'"* by Divya Menon, Association for Psychological Science “People don't really care what they're doing - just as long as they are doing something. That's one of the findings summarized in a new review article published in “Current Directions in Psychological Science”, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. When psychologists think about why people do what they do, they tend to look for specific goals, attitudes, and motivations. But they may be missing something more general - people like to b... more »

Are we ready for the expanded Panama Canal? Believe it or not, the job is "90 percent done"
*by Ken* In the New York Harbor area we've had an ongoing awareness of the Panama Canal expansion that's been in progress, because the "New York" port -- which nowadays means almost exclusively New Jersey's adjacent Newark Bay ports, Port Elizabeth and Port Newark -- has known that it isn't equipped to accommodate the taller and deeper ships scheduled to be able to pass through the expanded canal. The most conspicuous manifestation of that unpreparedness has been the 1928-31 Bayonne Bridge, connecting the NYC borough of Staten Island to the NJ mainland. The bridge has barely bee... more »

The Sixth Extinction
I didn’t rush to read Elizabeth Kolbert’s book, *The Sixth Extinction*, because I imagined it would be a gloomy expose on the unfortunate consequences of way too much half-baked cleverness — and it was. But it’s also a fascinating story about the long saga of life on Earth, and the unclever antics of the latest primate species. It’s an outstanding book. We have soared away into a fantasy world, where godlike humans spend their lives creating brilliant miracles. But when observed in a 450 million year timeframe, from this moment when a new mass extinction is gathering momentum, t... more »

Locality, nonlocality, and anti-quantum zealots
Quantum field theories and string theory, the two most viable types of quantum mechanical theories, respect the Lorentz invariance, the basic symmetry that defines Einstein's special theory of relativity. This symmetry guarantees that no information can be sent superluminally or instantaneously: there can't be any action at a distance. The relativistic locality ends up being equivalent to the relativistic causality: the cause must precede its effects, \(t\lt t'\), in all inertial systems. In quantum field theory (defined through the canonical quantization), we may derive the canonic... more »
Greek Radio 4 listener v German plutocrat
I must give credit to today's *Broadcasting House *for its fascinating opening discussion of the Greek situation between a Greek and a German. My initial instinct was to distrust it. Why? Because Paddy O'Connell's framing of the discussion made it clear that this was a discussion between a female retired Greek pharmacist and the male former head of the German Stock Exchange - i.e. the Greek equivalent of a typical powerless Radio 4 listener (applause!) versus an influential German former top capitalist (boo!). However, the discussion - a 'non'-meeting of minds - was quite fascina... more »

Conservative Politicians Tragically Pander To Racists
In 2000, George Bush and John McCain, battling out for the Republican nomination in South Carolina, both pandered to the racists and secessionists by encouraging the flying of the Confederate flag on the State Capitol dome.

The very next day he "corrected" himself by referring to it with the wease words that racists use: "a symbol of heritage." McCain lost anyway-- to a Bush who didn't... more »

Just one example from last year. *Sunday Morning Live *asked the question, "Is immigration good for Britain?" The result , announced at the end of the show, was 11% saying 'yes' and 89% saying 'no'. One of the guests nearly fainted. And it kept on happening: - "Does the English Defence League represent a view that needs to be heard?", asked *SML.... more »

my feminism includes trans people. all women need to listen to each other.
The continuing liberation of transgender people is a marvel to behold. We are witnessing history, as trans people and their issues become part of the mainstream. From Chelsea Manning to "Transparent" to Laverne Cox, and of course Caitlyn Jenner, transgender people and issues have never been so front and centre. I don't do celebrity gossip so I don't know anything about the lurid lead-up to Jenner's coming out, but when the woman who cuts my hair asks me what I think about transgender people, I know something big is going on. There is more than one out trans person in the larger circl... more »
A possible message from the "Sphere Alliance"....
*This came from a woman in the USA who for the last year has remarkably accurate dreams about of some of the work we were doing, as well as events occurring around the world. And for that reason I post this...* *The first part is her dream, followed up by, for lack of a better word... a confirmation channeling... purportedly from the Sphere Alliance... something she's never sent me before. * *I don't usually publish predictions with dates, heard too many of them in my Christian youth.

It was also paraded around by Iran after its spectacular capture in 2011. Yet there are no known satellite images of it — until now.One of the satellites that the website TerraServer sources images from snapped the bat-winged drone sitting outside of a shelter at Creech Air Force Base on February ... more »

*I chuckled at my son's sexist joke. Does this mean I should be forced to quit like that poor scientist?* By TOM UTLEY in England At the risk of destroying any hope our third son may have of a career in the politically correct world of academia, I’ll begin by repeating a joke he cracked nine years ago, when he was 14. It was a Bank Holiday Monday, and he had just switched on the TV hoping for his daily fix of news and views about the [soccer] Premiership. But to his horror, he saw that instead of the expected manly chat about his beloved Liverpool’s chances against West Ham, or M... more »

*The sixth mass extinction on Earth has officially begun and could threaten humanity's existence, famous false prophet says* *Ya gotta laugh. Paul Ehrlich just cannot give prophecy up, despite all his previous failed predictions. And the species loss count is highly speculative.

*Saints' Sean Payton expands on offseason culture change ~Mike Triplett, ESPN*
He Knows An Easy Mark
Opposition to the Prime Minister is building. But Stephen Harper has always known that more voters despise him than support him. That's why the Fair Elections Act -- with its truly Orwellian title -- is now law. Linda McQuaig writes: Stephen Harper's re-election strategy depends on a lot of you not voting. And if you mess with his plan by showing up at the polling station on Election Day, he's prepared for that, too: he's made it a lot harder for you to vote. The prime minister has made it so much harder that "many tens of thousands" of Canadians may be denied their constitutiona... more »
The personal-collective liberation"Everything starts where it ends and Everything ends where it starts"
*Translated from French -AK* *The personal-collective liberation* by Shaani Galand *Everything starts where it ends and Everything ends where it starts.* The key to changing unconsciousness is to change the inner state. If the consciousness puts finger on it, she grows up. And that's a cinch. Mind and Body is One. What manifests spirit manifests in the body. That which manifests in the body manifests in the mind.

"God's mercy is far greater than extremists you unfortunately bring onto the panel"
*Sunday Morning Live* also (perhaps inevitably) did a feature on Ramadan, looking at whether the fasting time should be reduced to help "vulnerable people". Dr Usama Hasan of the Quilliam Foundation and smirking Islamist blogger Dilly Hussain got into an almighty scrap about it, talking across each other and flinging insults around ("heretic", "fringe", "ignorance", "extremism", "You are an ignorant extremist!") I have to say though, that Usama made a good point about BBC programmes like *Sunday Morning Live* in passing: God's mercy is far greater than extremists you unfortunat... more »
"Nick Robinson: Cameron threatened to close down BBC on election bus"
The *Guardian *reports the following this morning from BBC political editor Nick Robinson: In an interview with the Guardian, Robinson said he had “thought quite a lot” about comments Cameron made during the campaign, which were interpreted by BBC staff as a veiled threat and “another bit of pressure”, since first writing about them in his recently released book about May’s election. Robinson said his sources on the Tory bus said Cameron had responded to a BBC story about something he allegedly told his deputy, Nick Clegg, calling it “rubbish”, before going on to say: “I’m going ... more »
Humanity is Developing Survival Resistance to Government Lies
Saturday, June 20, 2015*Activist Post* By Bernie Suarez Throughout nature it is well known that species will experience changes in its DNA and adaptations in its physical expression and behavior solely for the purposes of surviving in its environment. There are numerous examples in nature of species genetically and physically adapting to its environment for survival reasons. So it's not a far-fetched suggestion that humanity itself may now be experiencing a physiological mental and cerebral transformation which is changing its behavioral pattern and environmental response to the ph... more »

Navy transfers Kiran jet trainers to Air Force
[image: Kiran Mk2 jet trainer]The Navy has transferred nine Kiran jet-trainer aircraft from its inventory to the Air Force, which is facing an acute shortage of intermediate jet trainers. Naval sources have confirmed that the assets have been transferred from the Naval air station INS Hansa in Goa where the Kiran fleet is based. “The ab initio training takes place with the Air Force. The Navy now has the Hawk advanced jet trainers and so they [Kiran] have been transferred to the Air Force,” a senior Navy official said. Read more
The BBC can stop trembling again
That *Telegraph *piece by Bruce Anderson also makes it clear that those who expressed scepticism about John Whittingdale's much-touted eagerness to 'screw' with the BBC (as Tony Hall put it) were correct: John Whittingdale, the new Culture Secretary, is a sound Right-winger and a devoted Thatcherite. So when he was appointed, the BBC trembled. Were the Tories about to take their revenge on the corporation for decades of Left-wing bias? There were reports that the Prime Minister had told his new colleague to “sort out” the BBC. But any BBC executive who entertained such fears might ... more »
"And does glorifying battles of the past vanquish our dreams of a peaceful future?"
The blurb for today's *Sunday Morning Live* is quintessentially BBC-ish: Sian Williams hosts the ethical debate show. Is climate change the world's biggest moral problem? And does glorifying battles of the past vanquish our dreams of a peaceful future? That last question comes in the light of the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, and makes me think that Bruce Anderson, writing in the *Telegraph*, may have a point when he writes that the BBC... ...is infected by a metropolitan, politically correct groupthink, in which two assumptions are never questioned. The first is c... more »

By progressive integration of all airborne and ground-based civilian and military radars around the country, the aim is to ensure any intrusion by a hostile aircraft, helicopter, drone or micro-light is detected as soon as it takes place.
