China's Naval Future: 6 Aircraft Carriers?
*David Axe* *Security, Asia* Could Beijing really pull it off? It would be expensive. The Chinese navy could possess as many as six aircraft carriers by the mid-2030s, experts told state media. Six carriers might allow Beijing to equip each of its regional fleets with two flattops. One vessel could deploy while the other underwent maintenance. It's unclear exactly how much a six-carrier fleet would cost China. But it would be a lot. Song Zhongping, a military expert and T.V. commentator, told Global Times that China needs at least five aircraft carriers to execute its military ...more »

So, I asked myself as I sit a couple of miles from Pearl Harbor this week, what I could blog about that would be significant for this day, near this hallowed ground? On December 7, we were not prepared as the Empire of Japan annexed everything in its path and folded it into the Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. Does that sound somehow familiar in 2018?

No Need To Worry About ‘Great Dying’ - About Permian Extinction 262 Million Years Ago
This is running as a scary story in the news today. I’m asked if it means we are all going to die. No, it does not. That was a 10 °C rise and we are headed towards 3.6 °C at maximum with the Paris pledges already. With the Paris agreement if they continue to ramp up the pledges they should get within 2 °C, many countries have already got to that point in their pledges and a fair number to within 1.5 °C. Others, especially China and Russia, face huge challenges but are rising to them especially China. We aren’t currently headed for anything like 10 °C. read more

The New England Seamounts

Now we can check maps for important seamounts as well. All need to be mapped for their existence within three hundred feet of the surface at least. All represent real stepping stones in the ocean. The subsidence of the three named happened mostly in 115... more »
Meditation Is a Powerful Mental Tool—and For Some People It Goes Terribly Wrong

At the same time it is well worth testing out types and particularly contemplative meditation. This can oriented your concentration ability to override nonse... more »

Book of Enoch IV
He now recounts lucid dreams and his reaction to those dreams. They inform his continuing efforts in acquiring additional visions and surely led to his enlightenment as expressed through this text. We get a long parable that surely introduces the lamb of God and the lord of the sheep or surely lord of the faithful. Again we see the origin of this meme in the New testament. Enoch clearly informs the New Testament in its formation and choice of symbols.In fact much of the public imagery around the New Testament is not apparent from the New testament but now becomes more obvious.... more »
