U.S. Says Russian Air Defenses Near The Libyan Capital Shot Down An Unarmed American Drone Last Month
*Reuters: **Exclusive: U.S. says drone shot down by Russian air defenses near Libyan capital* The U.S. military believes that an unarmed American drone reported lost near Libya’s capital last month was in fact shot down by Russian air defenses and it is demanding the return of the aircraft’s wreckage, U.S. Africa Command says. Such a shootdown would underscore Moscow’s increasingly muscular role in the energy-rich nation, where Russian mercenaries are reportedly intervening on behalf of east Libya-based commander Khalifa Haftar in Libya’s civil war.

On Vaiśeṣika Ontology
Kanada is regarded as the founder of the *Vaiśeṣika School* (one of the six Hindu schools of philosophy). His exact dates are unknown, but it is believed that he composed the *Vaiśeṣika Sutra* around 3rd century BCE. His focus was on the nature of reality, which he understood as *dharma*. In the Vedic tradition, the word “*dharma*” stands for the cosmic order as a whole. In this sense, all that is there in the universe is part of *dharma*. When there is a breakdown of the cosmic order, then there is “*adharma*,” which is a negation of *dharma*. The *Vaiśeṣika Sutra* opens with these... more »

Robin Sears writes that Tommy Douglas was a master of the art: Having lost more elections than any other contemporary political leader — 1962, 1963, 1965, 1968, and his own riding twice (!) — it is a little staggering to reflect that Tommy Douglas never endured a leadership challenge until 1971. His success was grounded in an evangelical skill at persuasion, but even more importantly, his ability to rebuild confidence and conviction even on a losing election night.

Sig Sauer's 516 AR-Style Rifle Is A Real Killer
*Charlie Gao* *Security, * We have the details. *Key Point:* The tendency for Sig Sauer to promote a new rifle every few years is probably disconcerting to potential users. When the HK released the HK416 in the early 2000s, it rapidly became a hit with elite military and police forces worldwide. Driven by a slick marketing campaign and favorable (albeit disputed) test results from the U.S. military, the HK416 represented a “better mousetrap” version of the AR-family of rifles for many users. Though the advantages of the HK416 have become debatable in modern years, with upgrades ... more »
