“How to Make Bad Days Okay“
*“How to Make Bad Days Okay“* by David Cain “We human beings suffer from a persistent illusion that creates a huge amount of needless stress: we see today as much bigger and more significant than other days. It seems like we should. Today is the only day we’re able to actually do anything, and the only day we can experience the consequences of what we’ve already done. In that sense, today is pivotal: what you have to do today is clearly much more relevant to your life than what you had to do on the same date ten years ago. This seems like common sense. But this common feeling over... more »

Meet the USS England: The Escort Destroyer That Sunk 6 Imperial Japanese Submarines
*Michael Peck* *History, Asia* [image: By Photographed from a blimp of squadron ZP-11. - U.S. Navy photo 80-G-236608, Public Domain, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=984738] A world record. *Key point:* This small destroyer escort achieved an astounding feat. Destroyer escorts were the econo-warships of the U.S. Navy in World War II.

Instead theirs was the dreary but vital duty of escorting convoys of s... more »
Should the Navy Bring Back Super Battleships?
*Robert Farley* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] A terrible idea. *Key point:* Large warships are obsolete and easy to sink. Is it time to bring back the battleship? For decades, naval architects have concentrated on building ships that, by the standards of the World Wars, are remarkably brittle. These ships can deal punishment at much greater ranges than their early 20th century counterparts, but they can’t take a hit. Is it time to reconsider this strategy, and once again build protected ships? This article examines how these trends came about, and what might change in t... more »
NATO Can't Afford To Overlook Russia's Rocket Artillery
*Kyle Mizokami* *Security, * Rockets emit a terrifying howl as they streak towards their targets. *Key point: *Recent Russian activity in eastern Ukraine and Syria has included the use of artillery rockets, even more so than traditional gun tube artillery systems. From Syria to the Crimea, one weapon has accompanied Russia’s ground forces both overseas and to Russia’s so-called “near abroad”: artillery rockets. Lightweight and capable of laying waste to enemy territory by the acre, rockets emit a terrifying howl as they streak towards their targets. Russia’s use of rockets as we... more »

On Culture and Economics
A nation’s culture and economy have a symbiotic relationship—they tend to move in the same direction. When the culture moves in the rightward direction, economy too takes a right turn (the government takes measures to liberalize the economy); when culture lurches towards the left, the economy does the same and becomes more regulated and inefficient. The periods of high economic growth in most nations are also the periods great cultural awakening, and the periods of economic downfall are usually the periods when there is decline in the peoples sense of culture and rise in nihilistic ... more »

ROME, Dec 11 (IPS) - A new USD 500 million initiative by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is leading the way.

Meet The M103: America's Heavy Tiger Tank That Was Late To World War II
*Michael Peck* *Security, * Better late than never. *Key point: *Even with its flaws, the M103 was still useful. By 1945, the U.S. Army had cause to regret one of its most fateful choices of World War II: the decision not to build heavy tanks. Its M4 Sherman medium tank was a decent enough armored fighting vehicle when it entered combat in 1942.

For years the banking sector was gold mine for Russian FSB/KGB and their pals

The numbers are big even by oil-rich Russian standards. Regulators—including the central bank—say managers stole some 7 trillion rubles ($110 billion) in assets from their banks in the past decade, and the central bank has spent more than 5 trillion rubles on bailouts or to pay off depositors at those that didn’t survive, according to Fitch Ratings....
