"Sooner Or Later..."
“Sooner or later, fate puts us together with all the people, one by one, who show us what we could, and shouldn’t, let ourselves become. Sooner or later we meet the drunkard, the waster, the betrayer, the ruthless mind, and the hate-filled heart. But fate loads the dice, of course, because we usually find ourselves loving or pitying almost all of those people. And it’s impossible to despise someone you honestly pity, and to shun someone you truly love.” - Gregory David Roberts, “Shantaram”

Micro-Credentials 101: Do We Need Badges?
Micro-credentials are one of the hot rising ideas in the education space. To understand the basics, go look at your child's Xbox or PlayStation. For most of the major games, there is an accompanying set of achievements, or badges. Every time a player achieves a particular task (kill 50 zombies without reloading, drive over every tree in the enchanted forest, smash every Lego fire hydrant, etc.) they get a small digital badge on their big page of achievements. Micro-credentials take a similar approach to education. The root of the idea is simple--you demonstrate a very specific skill, ... more »
Hitler vs. Stalin: How Russia Defeated Nazi Germany at the Gates of Moscow
*Michael Peck* *Security, * It was one hell of a battle. *Would the capture of Moscow have altered the outcome of World War II? Losing their capital has often led nations to seek peace. Moscow was more than the administrative capital of the Soviet Union: it was also a vital rail hub and production center. There was also the symbolic value: totalitarian dictators, like Hitler and Stalin, crafted images of themselves as all-knowing leaders of their nations. Losing Moscow would certainly have dented popular confidence in Stalin. In fact, Stalin apparently did put out discreet peac... more »

Afghanistan Notes

Why Self-Checkout Is and Has Always Been the Worst
The current system is absurd and mostly dumps a lot of trouble onto the back of the long suffering consumer. Yet the objective is still extremely worthwhile. What it has to do is provide a shopping cart auto detect gun at the least and a load counter on the cart itself. That immediately stops the problem of multiple handling. The consumer picks out the item, scans it and then puts it into the cart which likely detects the added weight as a check. This can even be filmed as well as an additional protection for both parties. Better yet, you know continuously how much you are ... more »
Do Kurds Hold Keys to Syrian Peace?
I have always suspected that a democratic Greater Kurdistan provided one of the better roads forward for the Middle East itself.

It is a rewrite of the original border making operation conducted long ago by the British which set out to ensure built in instability. A Greater Kurdistan can be stable with a dominant Kurdish population acting as a balance to all the minorities and with an active democratic ... more »
