The Army Is Getting New Sig Sauer Guns (And Deadly Ammo To Match)
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * [image: US Army [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons] Is the new Sig training ammo really worth it? A common pitfall in the world of pistol shooting is training with low-quality, low-cost training ammunition but using higher power pistol ammo in real-world situations. This can lead to situations where firing a gun in anger could have a very different feel than firing during training. Following the release of a commercial version of the Army’s new M17 handgun, manufacturer Sig Sauer is now releasing a line of ammunition and training ammunition with ... more »

5 Big National Security Predictions for 2019

Embassy Personnel in Cuba Likely exposed to Coolant
From this it appears that the flap in Cuba most likely was caused by a problem with the air conditioner and its likely placement. It is also a strong reminder that while having an air conditioner is often necessary, having the hardware outside is completely necessary. Leaks will happen and proper venting is your protection. As noted here the administrators did not call in either the Architects or the engineers who are seeing this problem elsewhere. Why folks who did show up also failed to address the obvious and call upon the folks who built the building escapes me. It actu... more »
How did the Vikings avoid Hypothermia
An excellent answer to an excellent question. I will add that we are no longer acclimatized at all to cold weather exposure and so we shy away from it. The fact is that we can accommodate severe conditions and acclimatize. Think soldiers in Flanders where it was cold and continuously wet.. Fabrics block rapid heat loss, even when damp. After all most of the contact is with air, due to the weave. Circulation can handle the difference. It may take a bit, but you must simply get used to it. One good reason to expose yourself to foul conditions is to stimulate your natural ... more »

How marijuana can harm teenage brains, and what may be done to prevent the damage
This is unexpected and important. It infers that THC combined with an anti inflammatory becomes safe in the niche of vulnerability. As we will surely shift fully to oral protocols, combining with natural anti inflammatory products is strongly indicated for general safety.

All good then. *How marijuana can harm teenage brains, and what may be done to prevent the ... more »

Will it be cold this winter? Longtime rival Almanacs issue far different forecasts. One – the Farmers’ Almanac – calls for “teeth-shattering cold,” “biting cold” and “stinging cold” in many locations. The other – the Old Farmer’s Almanac – calls for “warm, dry,” “warm wet” and “mild snowy” in many of the same locations. https://www.wsj.com/articles/will-winter-be-nasty-or-nice-depends-which-farmers-almanac-you-read-11545929300 The post Dueling Almanacs appeared first on Ice Age Now.

2018 In Review: Special NAZI Edition-A Holiday Cornucopia Of Republican Wackos. The Whole World Is Watching, Part 9
*by Noah* Well, the year is almost over and my annual year in review will soon come to an end. But, before I get to that point, I thought it might be nice to shine a light on some of the other lesser republican nutjobs, assorted party luminaries, up and comers, relative unknowns, and ordinary Republican citizens alike. Today’s installment is a small sample of Republicans who really let their Nazi flag fly in 2018. That’s not to ignore the fact that to be a Nazi is to be a Republican and vice-versa, but I’ve chosen these few Hitler worshipers for special mention. They are just choi... more »

Free Download: Lucretius,"Of The Nature of Things"
"Again, do you not see that even stones are conquered by time, that tall turrets fall and rocks crumble, that the gods’ temples and their images wear out and crack, nor can their holy divinity carry forward the boundaries of fate, or strive against nature’s laws? Again, do Ave not see the monuments of men fall to pieces, asking whether you believe that they in their turn must grow old? Do we not see lumps of rock roll down torn from the lofty mountains, too weak to bear and endure the mighty force of time finite? For they would not fall thus suddenly torn off, if they had endured a... more »
"A Look to the Heavens"
“This rock structure is not only surreal -- it's real. The reason it's not more famous is that it is, perhaps, smaller than one might guess: the capstone rock overhangs only a few meters. Even so, the King of Wings outcrop, located in New Mexico, USA, is a fascinating example of an unusual type of rock structure called a hoodoo. Hoodoos may form when a layer of hard rock overlays a layer of eroding softer rock. *Click image for larger size.* Figuring out the details of incorporating this hoodoo into a night-sky photoshoot took over a year. Besides waiting for a suitably picturesque ... more »
The Poet: Lynn Ungar, “Boundaries”
*“Boundaries”* “The universe does not revolve around you. The stars and planets spinning through the ballroom of space dance with one another quite outside of your small life. You cannot hold gravity or seasons; even air and water inevitably evade your grasp. Why not, then, let go? You could move through time like a shark through water, neither restless or ceasing, absorbed in and absorbing the native element. Why pretend you can do otherwise? The world comes in at every pore, mixes in your blood before breath releases you into the world again. Did you think the fragile boundary of yo... more »

Chet Raymo, "Curriculum"
*"Curriculum"* by Chet Raymo “Of an evening blackbirds congregate in the tree below in Ballybeg. Flocks of blackbirds. We can hear their raucous disquisitions here on the hill. In their black academic gowns, their fluttering sleeves. What are they debating? The "Summa Theologica?" Pascal's "Pensees?" Newton's biblical arcana? ․ "The blackbird whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime..." Those solitary desert fathers, the corncrake and the cuckoo, in the field and on the heath, are gone, victims of mechanical agriculture, with their elemental message... more »

“Where are these Skripal pets now?” Russia’s U.N. ambassador asked Security Council
* The* same tactics that were observed in the wake of the Skripal poisoning have been employed multiple times since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, in each case following roughly the same script. When pro-Russian separatists shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over eastern Ukraine, killing 298 passengers and crew members, Russian officials and media outlets sought to pin the blame on the Ukrainian government, suggesting at one point that corpses had been trucked to the crash site to make the death toll appear higher. State-controlled Russian media unleashed a fusillade of fal... more »
Russiagate, Memes and Pokemon Ads: Is Our “Democracy” This Fragile?
Chew on this. $4,700 spent on Google ads, $47,000 invested on Facebook commercials, a smattering of Pokemon Go displays and some asinine memes; that is supposedly all it took to subvert the 2016 elections. If you believe the talking heads on TV, the Democrat operatives hyperventilating on social media and the alleged “journalists” in mainstream media, it was not Hillary Clinton’s objectionable candidacy nor her repugnant strong arms tactics that swung the election. Rather, Trump’s… The post Russiagate, Memes and Pokemon Ads: Is Our “Democracy” This Fragile? appeared first on The G... more »
