Russian Submarines Can Now Nuke a City Without Leaving Port
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Russian submarines can now launch cruise missiles while docked in port. Thus, Russian subs can fire their weapons more quickly, without the need to sail into open water. But more ominously, because subs abruptly leaving port is considered a warning sign that hostilities are imminent, the ability to launch missiles while dockside makes a surprise attack easier. *Russian media also touted the dockside missile launch as another demonstration of the power of new Yasen-class nuclear attack submarines such as the Severodvinsk. With a massive, 14,000-ton desi... more »
How the AC-47 Gunship Went to War in Vietnam
*Warfare History Network* *Security, Asia* [image: By Attilio Sinagra - http://www.dodmedia.osd.mil DFSC8404020, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=543598] The AC-47 gunship proved the concept of the aerial gunship as a close support weapon in the skies over Vietnam. It also helped create an even more powerful weapon. The night of October 17, 1969, was a harrowing one for the South Vietnamese soldiers at Phung Hiep Army outpost. Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army troops had attacked, showering the small base with mortar and machine-gun fire. Quickly ... more »
Sunday morning music
Those who don't listen to it much often think of classical music as slow and stodgy, not very interesting. That's very far from the truth. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) is best known for his sacred music, but he also produced "Terpsichore", a compendium of 300-odd medieval and early Renaissance dances. Here's a 50-minute collection of several of them (not, as the video claims, a complete collection). Some of them are quite rousing, and certainly foot-tapping even to those used to what's laughably referred to as "dancing" in modern popular music. I think you'll find some are ver... more »

String theorists approach the status of heliocentric heretics
Galileo Galilei was legally harassed between 1610 and 1633. Most of us agree that the Inquisition was composed of dogmatists who were suppressing science. Some of them were rather smart but they were still dogmatists. However, what would be wrong to imagine is that Galileo was tortured in a dungeon. Instead, this is how Solomon Alexander Hart (1806-1881) saw Milton's visit to Galileo when the latter was imprisoned. Galileo lived in a pretty fancy prison, right? He had what he needed to keep on thinking. You may compare Galileo's fancy spaces to the modest, prison-like office of Edwa... more »

"Choices..."
"The human life is made up of choices. Yes or no. In or out. Up or down. And then there are the choices that matter. Love or hate. To be a hero or to be a coward. To fight or to give in. To live. Or die. Live or die. That's the important choice. And it's not always in our hands." - "Grey's Anatomy"

You have not grown old, and it is not too late to dive into your increasing depths where life calmly gives out its own secret." - Rainer Maria Rilke
