"A Look to the Heavens"
“This weekend, meteors will rain down near the peak of the annual Perseid Meteor Shower. Normally bright and colorful, the Perseid shower meteors are produced by dust swept up by planet Earth from the orbit of Comet Swift-Tuttle. They streak from a radiant in Perseus, above the horizon in clear predawn skies. Despite interfering light from August's waning gibbous moon, this year's Perseids will still be enjoyable, especially if you can find yourself in an open space, away from city lights, and in good company. *Click image for larger size.* Frames used in this composite view capture ... more »

*"You Are the One You Are Waiting for: Turn to Yourself"* by Madisyn Taylor, The DailyOM "Ultimately, you are the one.

There is nothing wrong with this and, in fact, finding the right person at the right time can really help.

We carry within us everything we need to know to make progress on our paths to self-realization. The outer world serves as a mirror. Or to use... more »

Chet Raymo, “Learning”
*“Learning”* by Chet Raymo “In the Preface to his lovely book “The Island Within”, about a wilderness island near his home on the coast of Alaska, Rick Nelson writes; "I have recorded my experiences, not as a teacher, certainly not as a thinker, but as a learner who loves his subject as deeply as he loves life itself.” I spent most of my adult life as a "teacher," and I suppose I've done my share of "thinking," but I'd like to think that those activities were means to an end: learning. Certainly, now in retirement I don't consider myself a teacher, and I'd rather ponder someone els... more »

Rise in globalism doesn't mean the end for nationalists
A. Burcu Bayram, Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of Arkansas at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 3 hours ago
Are you more of a nationalist or a cosmopolitan? Or both? Recent events suggest that a nationalist backlash to globalization is on the rise. The United Kingdom’s decision to leave the European Union, Donald Trump’s win in the U.S. presidential election and the growing popularity of right-wing parties in France, Austria and Germany attest to this. Liberals in particular are puzzled by the spike in nationalism on a global scale. Some may wonder, where have all the global citizens gone? The answer, I argue, is nowhere. The confusion comes in because the ideal of a selfless global ci... more »
What to do with Confederate statues?
James Glaser, Professor, Dean of the School of Arts & Sciences, Tufts University at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 3 hours ago
Could Russia teach us something about how to deal with difficult aspects of our national history? Many places in the South – from New Orleans to Louisville – are in the process of bringing down statues that glorify the Confederacy. That process raises questions about what to do with these remnants of the past. Do we just toss them into the ash bin of history, purging them as if they never existed? As a student of southern politics who recently traveled to Moscow, I wondered if we can look to the Russians and how they have treated their Soviet past. The situations are not perfect... more »

Currently Paul Manafort is persona non grata among the Trump folks, and they have even started a smear campaign against him. The reason for that is now starting to become clearer.

Why subsidize protectionism motivated foreign investors?
The already infamous case of Foxconn in Wisconsin illustrates a dynamic we are likely to witness more before we are rid of the illegitimate Trump regime.

On May 19, the regime officially announced it would renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). If you're a company dependent on exports to the United States, these are worrisome developments. Given that the count... more »

Less considered is that people might move to where more food choices are and where those are dense, such as in cities, people tend to be more educated. read more
