In 2003, a Chinese Navy Submarine Sank. How the Crew Died Is Truly Horrifying.
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, Asia* A naval accident you might not know about. *The lack of clear official explanation has led to various theories over the years. The typical complement of a Type 035 submarine is fifty-five to fifty-seven personnel, but 361 had seventy on board. Officially these were trainers, but conditions would have been quite cramped. The presence of the additional personnel and the high-ranking Commodore Cheng leads to the general conclusion that 361 was not on a routine mission.* On April 25, 2003 the crew of a Chinese fishing boat noticed a strange sight... more »

*NOAA Scientist To Media: Don’t Link Hurricanes To Global Warming* The news media should be cautious about linking hurricane activity to global warming, according to National Hurricane Center Science and Operations Officer Chris Landsea.

Argentina cancel their football match with Israel but will travel to Russia for the World Cup
Argentina canceled their warmup game against Israel but are happy to travel to Russia for the World Cup. Do the Argentinan football team know about the Russian invasion of Crimea, the restrictions on gay rights, the lack of a free press, the endemic racism, the arrest of peaceful demonstrators and most critically Russia's involvement in the murder of countless Syrian civilians? Somehow I doubt that Argentina will be canceling their flights to Russia, so what's different about Israel? Is it the Jews?
Censorship in the Age of Large Cloud Providers
(Flickr/Desiree Catani) Internet censors have a new strategy in their bid to block applications and websites: pressuring the large cloud providers that host them. These providers have concerns that are much broader than the targets of censorship efforts, so they have the choice of either standing up to the censors or capitulating in order to maximize their business. Today’s internet largely reflects the dominance of a handful of companies behind the cloud services, search engines and mobile platforms that underpin the technology landscape.

Oil Prices: ‘Lower for Longer’ Era Continues
As I have posted we will see energy demand replaced by tapping dark matter. The turn over will also be abrupt as well. First deliverables are now months away at most. Even without that we are also seeing conversion to battery systems which will be sufficient to displace all oil based fuel systems. Batteries alone are able to displace many millions of barrels and the roll out will be global so it will soon displace many additional millions of barrels. I have not done any accounting, but i do think we are looking at losing demand for half of global oil production never to be re... more »

Again we also expect improvement and this should allow the salinity to also rise. At the same time this will produce humidity that can also be harnessed for down wind precipitation.
