"A Look to the Heavens"
“It is the largest and most complex star forming region in the entire galactic neighborhood. Located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a small satellite galaxy orbiting our Milky Way galaxy, the region's spidery appearance is responsible for its popular name, the Tarantula nebula. This tarantula, however, is about 1,000 light-years across. Were it placed at the distance of Milky Way's Orion Nebula, only 1,500 light-years distant and the nearest stellar nursery to Earth, it would appear to cover about 30 degrees (60 full moons) on the sky. *Click image for larger size.* Intriguing detail... more »
Chet Raymo, “Spooked”
*“Spooked”* by Chet Raymo “The word everyone uses is "spooky." What they are talking about is entanglement, the spooky heart of quantum mechanics. You create a pair of subatomic particles, photons say, and send them on their separate ways. The particles seem to know what is happening to each other on their separate journeys. An activity performed on one particle can instantaneously change the properties of the other particle, no matter how far apart. And - this is the kicker - apparently instantaneously. Their fates are "entangled." In the latest test of entanglement, physicists en... more »
"3 Simple Questions That Will Change Your Life"
*"3 Simple Questions That Will Change Your Life"* by Jonathan "I love simple solutions to seemingly complex issues, don’t you? So often we seem to complicate the daylights out of things by over-analyzing, dissecting and brainstorming. I gravitate toward simple solutions whenever possible. Asking yourself the right question is one of the simplest ways to direct your thoughts in a positive direction without jumping through a bunch of mental or emotional hoops. What are the right questions? In particular, those that stimulate your mind to consider new possibilities or interrupt old es... more »

The Poet: George Carroll, “The End”
*“The End”* “If I were to move a hill of thoughts Only to find a mountain instead, Would I then give up the pursuit, Or continue to climb instead? Vast are the surprises laid ahead, When life has unexpected turns, Yet we must continue our journey Regardless or quit and lay dead. If only tomorrow we knew in advance... Would we plan our life differently? Who is to know what the future can bring, Even though we know how it all will end?” - George Carroll
He’s a Fool All Year Long!
From The Huffington Post: What do you get when you take an ignorant Republican Congressman and cross it with a serious policy issue like climate change? Rep. John Shimkus (R-IL) shared a moment of sheer absurdity with Britain’s stuffiest global warming denier Lord Christopher Monckton in last week’s Energy & Commerce hearing on climate change […]
Jo-Jo a Go-Go
Boris Johnson's position is very bad. But last night, as the Prime Minister nursed his pounding head after four defeats and the collapse of his position perhaps there was a crumb of consolation reflecting on how it couldn't possibly get worse. Dear reader, it got worse. Does anything say "you're finished" more than your own brother resigning from your government and announcing his retirement from politics when the next election arrives because he can't stomach your policies? We certainly have Johnson the younger to thank for giving Labour a handy slogan for the constituency campai... more »

As September 11th approaches, a reminder to never forget
BY NORBERT RUG Never Forget. Most people will remember where they were when a historic event occurs. I remember that I was in high school machine shop on November 22, 1963 when I heard that John Fitzgerald Kennedy was shot

What you need is someone to take hold of you - gently, with love, and hand your life back to you." - Tennessee Williams

California Dr: “Despicable, Dishonest, Double Standard and Lying Politicians” Pass Bill to End Medical Exemptions to Vaccines
California Bill SB 276 passed the State Senate on Wednesday (September 4, 2019) in the midst of fierce opposition from the public. SB 276 makes it nearly impossible for medical doctors to write exemptions for childhood vaccines for medical reasons. California Dr. Robert J. Rowen did not hold back when describing his feelings for the California Senate: "Despicable, Dishonest, Double Standard and Lying Politicians." All eyes are now on California Governor Gavin Newsom who needs to sign the bill to become law, or veto it. Will he follow the progressive liberal values he touts and stan... more »
Free Download: John Steinbeck, “The Grapes of Wrath”
"In John Steinbeck’s masterpiece, “The Grapes of Wrath”, a tale is told of migrant families in the Great Depression living in ramshackle camps known as “Hoovervilles”. However, the characters in the book are not portrayed as stupid. On the contrary, they know what happened to them. One exchange between the characters goes like this: “We’re sorry. It’s not us. It’s the monster. The bank isn’t like a man.” “Yes, but the bank is only made of men.” “No, you’re wrong there- quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank d... more »

Why Everyone Is Right to Fear China's Snipers
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] How so? *The QBU-88 or Type 88 is a relatively modern design, utilizing the bullpup layout to gain additional barrel length. * While the U.S. Army is concerned about next-generation Russian precision rifles and tactics, China has also been making significant advances in the field. In the 1980s, the Chinese used practically the same equipment as the Soviet Union. Nowadays, they use fairly different sets of equipment, including some rifles chambered in NATO calibers. The diverging development of Chinese precision rifles from the same... more »
The M4 Carbine Is Seemingly Immortal but That's No Good for the Army
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Americas* [image: https://www.dvidshub.net/image/5585475/class-2023-basic-rifle-marksmanship] We explain. *Despite the failure of all attempts to replace it, the M4 is growing obsolete.* The US military has attempted to replace the M4/M16 series of weapons for almost five decades. From flechette-firing prototypes to rifles that used caseless ammunition firing in hyperbursts, no weapon was considered to provide enough of an improvement over the M16 to replace it. Only a shortened version of the M16, the M4 eventually replaced the M16 in front-line issue... more »
The First 'Invasion' of Texas
*Mark Perry* *History, Ameircas* [image: Reuters] The battle over America’s past and future. The 1950s were the era of the Hollywood blockbuster, epic quasi-histories that drove millions of Americans to their local cinemas, but just as often broke the bank: Quo Vadis (1951), Julius Caesar (1953), The Ten Commandments (1956), The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), Ben-Hur (1959) and, at the end of the decade, The Alamo—which was shot in 1959, but released in 1960. The Bridge on the River Kwai and Ben-Hur are now viewed as classics, but for a ten-year-old, nothing matched the sheer s... more »
Why the U.S. Navy Stopped Building Battleships
*James Holmes* *Security, * A new era of naval combat. *In short, battleships remained multimission vessels throughout their service lives—even after technological progress relegated them to secondary status. The Zumwalt is one-dimensional by contrast. Each ship is armed with two “advanced gun systems” capable of raining precision fire—albeit with lightweight projectiles compared to battleships’ 1,900- and 2,700-lb. rounds—on land targets some 83 nautical miles distant. Marines will welcome the backup.* Over the years it’s become commonplace for writers to sex up their descrip... more »
Israel's September 17 Elections Will Have Regional Repercussions
*Leon Hadar* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] One of the places where the Deal of the Century seems to be taken seriously is in Israel, where the outcome of the Knesset’s elections on September 17 could have a major effect on whether the Trump administration’s Middle East diplomacy would even take off. Much of the international response to President Donald Trump’s plan to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict peace plan, which he dubbed “The Deal of the Century,” has been dismissal or just plain confusion. No one really knows what exactly is going to be in that peace p... more »
America Can't Save Hong Kong
*Mitchell Blatt* *Security, Asia* [image: Reuters] America's "last-second hero" tactics won't work in great-power China's backyard. China hawks and human-rights activists are too politically correct on China. There is nothing wrong with having an ideology or with supporting democracy, but in a high-stakes great-power rivalry, leaders and the public cannot let their vision of the world become distorted on the basis of ideology. Unfortunately, politicians, publishers, lobbyists, and advisors are letting their ideologies blind them in ways that could lead to misguided policies an... more »
Israel Uses Its Firepower, Far and Wide
*Paul R. Pillar* *Security, Middle East* [image: Reuters] The escalated Israeli military campaign exhibits some longstanding attributes of Israeli policies and practices, such as a right to seek absolute security even if that means absolute insecurity for everyone else. Recently, Israel has been expanding its military attacks across much of the Middle East, hitting multiple countries. The aggressive campaign far outpaces anything any adversaries of Israel have been doing to it, or even trying unsuccessfully to do to it. Over the past two years, Israel has used combat aircraft to... more »
Worried About the U.S. Economy? Here's a Tip: Ignore the 'Impending Recession' Doomsayers
*Christopher Whalen* *economy, Americas* [image: Reuters] A resurgent housing sector could be the domestic engine that offsets weakness in manufacturing and ultimately helps to keep the U.S. economy out of recession in 2020. Many economists and central bankers are worried about a recession in the United States, one that they say could occur by 2020—possibly even this year. Most of these prognostications are entirely wrong, but some media outlets thrive on bad news. Since 2008, the prospect of an impending apocalypse has driven coverage of the financial markets and the broader ec... more »
Why the AG36 May Be One of the Best Weapons Ever Made
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Europe* [image: By SGT ROB SUMMITT, USA - Defenseimagery.mil, VIRIN 070212-A-4746S-031, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=3561575] Do tell. *The AG36’s greatest strength proved to be its adaptability. In 1995, H&K offered a variant for the British L85/SA80 rifle. * The 40mm individual single-shot grenade launcher is one of modern infantry fireteam’s core pieces of firepower. They provide rapid explosive firepower at ranges greater than hand grenades but less than infantry mortars. During the Vietnam War, they were called the ... more »

Christopher Caldwell writes at Claremont Review of Books insightfully about the Brexit struggle Why Hasn’t Brexit Happened? Excerpts in italics with my bolds Caldwell tells the story of how Britain and the EU got to this point, and makes two important points. Almost inadvertantly, the EU pact removed British sovereignty and the British constitution. He […]
