Iraq’s PM Abadi Acknowledges Defeat For 2nd Term
(AIN) In what appeared to be a concession speech Prime Minister Haidar Abadi said that he would not hold onto power. Since May, all of the premier’s plans have gone awry. He was hoping for an easy victory in the elections and came in third. He believed that aligning with Moqtada al-Sadr and his Sairoon would assure him of a second term. Instead, Sadr abandoned him for an alliance with the pro-Iran Hashd Fatah list led by Badr’s Hadi Amiri after the protests and riots in Basra. His remarks just confirmed what was already a fait accompli. Abadi came into office in 2014 as the anti-N... more »

The ATLAS Quest For Photon Jets
What is a photon jet? Despite their exotic name, photon jets are a well studied thing nowadays. The original studies were performed by experimentalists who aimed to test quantum chromodynamics: they used to spend their time discriminating prompt photon production in hadron collisions from backgrounds. I remember a lot of such studies were performed in the 80ies and 90ies by my CDF colleagues, especially within the "QCD working group". The importance of the detection of single, isolated photons of high energy has risen enormously since then, given their role in the discovery of the H... more »

Why is Puerto Rico a mess and why is it Trump’s fault?
I decided to research why Puerto Rico was such a financial mess before Hurricane Maria in 2017. I didn't do my usual careful 15 minutes, but spent about 3 minutes in Wikipedia, which would be a no-no if I were a student. Now I know. There are several roots to this problem--all white men, of course. 1) Christopher Columbus (1493), William McKinley (1900), Woodrow Wilson (1917), Richard Nixon (1973), and most recently Bill Clinton (1996), phasing out important parts of the favorable federal tax code over a ten-year period ending in 2006 (G.W.

Space-based interceptors?
In 1983, President Ronald Reagan proposed a military system, later dubbed “Star Wars,” that promised to protect the United States from nuclear attack. The basic idea was to use weapons based in space to knock down incoming intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Reagan’s plan didn’t materialize, but the idea never went away. In 2018—against the Department of Defense’s wishes—Congress passed a bill calling for the Pentagon to start building space-based interceptors. Unfortunately, it’s a terrible plan.

Everyone is fixated on Hurricane Florence. News networks have sent reporters down to the Carolinas to ride out the storm. And they're reporting -- windblown and soaked to the skin -- every fifteen minutes. But, Michael Harris writes, they're missing the point: It comes down to this: Warmer air holds more moisture, intensifying extreme weather events like hurricanes. Higher sea levels from melting ice caps raise the height of storm surges. Hotter temperatures draw moisture from vegetation, turning forests and brush into tinder.

Gerontocracy And Dead-End Liberalism
Liberalism as a political philosophy demands liberation from all variety of constraints. If one holds consistently liberal positions, one would then need to be liberated from one’s very human-ness itself, regardless of the fact that that is intrinsic to the meaning of life and the intent of history. The post Gerontocracy And Dead-End Liberalism appeared first on OrientalReview.org.
Bombshell: CNN caught fabricating fake news against Trump… Watergate journalist involved
Who is paying for what is essentially anti American propaganda? It is a long way from a free press. The mere fact that both dogs from the Nixon take down are also been trotted out now begs serious questions as well. The DEEP STATE must be deeply desperate and they are running out of ideas. We already know that the DEEP STATE emerged as a consequence of the JFK assassination in 1963 and has operated to protect itself and its assets ever since to the point of been literally out of control. Mil Intel has combined with Donald Trump to end this monstrosity and in the nonce to resto... more »
The Deadly 1911 Heat Wave That Drove People Insane
[image: 1911 Heat Wave] This is worth noting because it tells us what is actually possible and though rare, it informs of what we need to prepare for. These are killing conditions and today we do have access to air conditioning which will also need to shared if needed. As with Earthquake response, it is useful to think through what you need to do. For most this is really no problem but it also tells us that those conditions will force us to abandoning much of what we normally are doing in order to seek protection. The surprise here is the actual number of accidental deaths. the... more »
Evidence-Based Aromatherapy
Besides been a delivery system for pleasant odors it is emerging that medical benefits do exist but not overwhelming so.. I get the sense though, considering how short our list is and how traditional as well, that we really need to develop a global movement to support lay research on the many plants ultimately available to both explore, but also to eliminate options in general to optimize effort. The methodology is easily picked up and applied precisely and an ideal medium for lay science. . *Evidence-Based Aromatherapy: Stress Relief And Much More* *Print Friendly or Save as P... more »
Russia will have giant Wing in Ground Effect Seaplanes patrolling the Arctic
I would love to see Bombardier get into a joint venture with these Russian companies. Canada needs its own fleet and we also need a commercial fleet as well. Throw in Coaxial lift technology as well. Bombardier already has full access to the most modern technology and combining with the Russians could readily build out a completely modernized. It also nicely modernizes the mission of Canada' air force which has long since out grown its role as a fighter aircraft mission support. That is all transitioning to drone based technoloogy. The big job will be to build a nuclear bas... more »

Midnight Meme Of The Day!
*by Noah* Lest we forget, Trump was not the first in government to be massively corrupt. It almost comes with the territory. The thing is, though, Trump is taking corruption to new heights in a massive way. He is pushing the envelope of corruption further and further than it has been ever pushed before. That's what happens when we let those who came earlier push the corruption envelope further than it had ever gone before their time. That's what happens when we let them get away with their corruption. Some other sleazebag is always going to come along in the future, take a look a... more »
Greg Hunter, “Weekly News Wrap-Up 9/14/18”
*“Weekly News Wrap-Up 9/14/18”* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "President Trump is out with a new executive order (EO) to stop and punish foreign interference in U.S. elections. Donald Trump is getting ready for the all-important midterm elections in November and wants to make sure there is no cheating. In this new EO, he “declares a national emergency to deal with this threat.” Is this Deep State actors, illegal aliens, foreign spies and anyone working to undermine U.S. elections? It’s all of the above and much more. Another round of texts from former top FBI officials confirmin... more »
Russia Is In No Position To Wage A Real Conflict
Mark Galeotti, The Atlantic: *Don’t Fear the Russian Military* The week-long exercises, which kicked off yesterday, are intended as a show of might. But the country is in no position to wage a real conflict. The headline figures for Russia’s Vostok (or “East”) military exercises, which began yesterday, are dramatic: 300,000 soldiers, 36,000 tanks and other vehicles, 80 ships, and 1,000 aircraft operating across more than half the country. That’s double the size of the British armed forces. It’s also twice the size of the last Vostok war games, held back in 2014. As if that weren’t... more »

Union leader suggests Israel 'created' anti-Semitism row - BBC News
The BBC report, I'm shocked https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45517094 'A trade union leader has been recorded suggesting that Israel "created" the anti-Semitism row in the Labour Party. In a recording published by the Independent, PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka suggested the country had created the story to hide what he called its own "atrocities". Labour Against Anti-Semitism said Mr Serwotka had brought the entire TUC into disrepute and he should resign. The PCS said he had made the point that anti-Semitism must be opposed.' One fascinating line in that BBC report is t... more »

From The Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/ comes this: 'The leader of one of Britain's main trade unions has suggested that Israel created the antisemitism row that has engulfed Labour over the summer. Mark Serwotka, who leads the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and is a staunch supporter of Jeremy Corbyn, told a fringe event at the Trades Union Congress conference that the Jewish state could have "created a story that does not exist" in order to distract attention from "atrocities" he said it has committed.'
